In sum, they're accusing him of being in on a false-flag operation by Obama. You can't make this shit up.

A good Samaritan who harbored six terrified survivors of the Sandy Hook massacre has been singled out by conspiracy theorists accusing him of being a liar and an actor.

On the morning of the shooting, Gene Rosen of Newtown, Conn., was feeding his cats when he discovered four terrified children hiding out in his driveway. They told him their teacher was dead, and he listened to their chilling account of the tragedy still going on at the nearby Sandy Hook Elementary School.

In the aftermath, Rosen, 69, was interviewed by many of the media outlets that descended on the small community, and his anguished face flashed across television screens around the world.

The sincerity of that anguish was questioned by a group of conspiracy theorists who call themselves "truthers," Salon reported earlier this month. These truthers have so far posted Rosen's personal information online, created fake social media accounts using his name and harassed him via email and phone.

“I don’t know what to do,” Rosen, a retired psychologist, told Salon in a follow-up interview on Tuesday. “There must be some way to morally shame these people, because there were 20 dead children lying an eighth of a mile from my window all night long. And I sat there with my wife, because they couldn’t take the bodies out that night so the medical examiner could come. And I thought of an expression, that this ‘adds insult to injury,’ but that’s a stupid expression, because this is not an injury, this is an abomination.”

Unfortunately for Rosen, it is an abomination that has gained ground in the weeks since the deadly school shooting. Websites, like SandyHookHoax.com, have sprung up questioning Rosen's motives for sharing his story.

A YouTube video linked to on SandyHookHoax.com shows Rosen speaking into a camera about his ordeal. The video's title alleges that the crudely edited clips are an "audition" tape, and the description accuses Rosen's recollections of having "pedo under-tones." The video has been viewed more than 27,000 times.

A similar clip, which reposts an official interview Rosen gave on CNN, claims that Rosen is a Screen Actors Guild thespian. "The only thing consistent about this clown's act, is all the fake crying," the video's About section reads. "The man has never shed an actual tear in a dozen interviews over the last several days."

Yahoo News points to a forum post on a conspiracy theory blog calling Rosen a "bad crisis actor," claiming he changed his story during his various interviews and saying that his testimonies focus on the sound of gunshots for political effect:

Gene's oft repeated, and changing, story about that day, focuses totally on the kids and the sound of gunshots. Even though his eyes and ears should've taken in the whole scene, his story focuses completely on the kids and the guns.
Why? Well, if this was a false flag event designed to move political opinion on gun control, here in America, then you would get a lot more bang for your buck by talking about the innocent little children. That's what tugs on America's heart strings the most ... especially around Christmas time.

“I wanted to speak about the bravery of the children, and it kind of helped me work through this,” Rosen told Salon of his decision to give interviews to the media. “I guess I kind of opened myself up to this.”
 
Yea I read this yesterday. It's awful. My first thought was that vetteman shouldn't be allowed to have a phone or access to the internet.
 
Good grief.

Hopefully they have a convention soon in one of those places with a higher likelihood of a false flag event.

Because you know who's REALLY good at concealing false-flag operations? Children.
 
Literally, it's used when a naval vessel flies the flag of another nation to implicate that nation in a warlike act.

More generally, it's used to describe any sort of nefarious bidness that falsely casts blame.

Some tinfoil-hat folks say Newtown was a false flag to grease the skids for stricter gun control.

Those who contend 9/11 was actually the work of the US gummint/Israel/the Illuminati/Tom Cruise/etc. are subscribing to the belief it was a false flag intended to enable draconian security/war in Iraq/world domination/the return of Xenu/etc.

Aye, I divined it's meaning.

Thx.
 
What's a 'false-flag operation'?

This.

A false flag operation is an operation conducted by one party or government and made to appear as though it were sponsored by another party or government. The term (although not the tactic) has its origins in the traditions of "honourable" naval warfare, where ships were required to sail under their own national flag in order that they could be identified. As people learned that being a sneaky bastard was much more fun much more effective than playing by the rules, ships began sailing under "false" colours, i.e. flying their enemy's flag in order to get close to their enemy, before swapping to their true colours and opening fire.[1]

In the modern use of false flag tactics and operations, this final step is avoided entirely, making it difficult to identify what is really a false flag operation, and what is just some conspiracy nuts not trusting their own government.

Examples

A list of such attacks either determined or widely held to be false flag attacks follows:
* Nero burns Rome, blames it on the Christians.[2][3]
* The Zinoviev letter.
* Mukden Incident: A railroad in Manchuria owned by Japan's South Manchuria Railway was sabotaged in 1931, probably by Japanese provocateurs, and used as a pretext by Japan to invade, occupy, and set up a puppet government in Manchuria. Japan ended up leaving the league of nations on March 27, 1933 when it became clear that the world was against the Japanese control of Manchuria, with the famous "Our Empire deems it essential to respect the independence of the new State [Manchuria puppet state] and to encourage its healthy development, in order that the sources of evil in the Far East may be eradicated and an enduring peace thereby established." Manchuria was Japan's Iraq. Let's hope Iraq doesn't lead to World War - but those who study history are condemned to watch as history repeats itself.
* Gleiwitz incident:[wp] Germany fakes an attack on themselves by Poland, then invades Poland to 'counter Polish aggression', thereby initiating World War II.
* Operation Susannah and the Lavon affair: Israeli agents conduct minor terrorist attacks against American and British interests in Egypt while trying to make it appear as though radical Muslims were responsible, in a complex scheme to discredit the Egyptian President Nasser's government. Never mind that Nasser suppressed those same radical Muslims.

Conspiracy theories

Conspiracy theorists have claimed that the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 were a false flag operation by the United States Government, notably in the "documentary" Loose Change. Their claims are not seen as credible by most investigators. It is interesting that the concept of a false flag operation is a staple of almost all conspiracy theories - that a government would attack their own people to justify something is appropriately dramatic and evil to be attractive to anyone already predisposed to the idea that the world is secretly being controlled by dark hidden forces.

Political cases

False flag attacks have been used as an attempt to discredit the opposition in a political campaign. For instance, in 2008, a woman claimed to have been attacked and mutilated (having 'B' for 'Barack' carved into her face) by a black man for being a McCain supporter. Eventually however she confessed that she had mutilated herself and made the whole incident up [4].

See also the Reichstag Fire. Probably the work of Dutch Communist Marinus van der Lubbe; but Hermann Goering did once, years later, in his cups, boast that he had personally arranged it, and the result (Hitler voted dictatorial powers) certainly passes the cui bono test.
 
You hear this shit and it's no wonder that the rest of the world has a low opinion of Americans.

And I once, back in 1995 or not long after, at a party hosted by a local Libertarian, met a dude who was loudly convinced that the Oklahoma City Bombing was a false-flag op by the FBI to provide a pretext for cracking down on RW dissidents and militiamen. And not he alone, apparently.
 
What kind of sick, delusional fucktard would think it was planned by the government.

Anyone that believes that needs some serious psychiatric help.
 
And what was Adam Lanza paid? False-flag ops exist, certainly, but it is no easy matter to find a false-flag operative willing to cap the job with suicide, and Lanza was no Islamist terrorist.

There are 300 million people in the US, more or less.

If just 1/1000 of 1 percent of them are sick, delusional fucktards -- which seems like it's on the low end of the estimate to me, frankly -- that's 30,000 people. Most of whom seem to spend all day on the goddamn Internet.
 
Let me guess, the OP doesn't consider himself a bigot or an extremist for constantly stereotyping and demonizing people with a different political orientation?

Manchurian Candidate, man. His mother was probably his control, so of course she had to be the first to go. She even looked like Angela Lansbury.*

*Original film, not the awful remake.
