We’ll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false.

—- William J. Casey, Director of Central Intelligence (1981 – 1987)

       FALSE FLAG OPERATION (1964): Patrol boats of the Navy of the kleptocratic (government by thieves) Republic of (South) Vietnam, attack the islands of Hon Me and Hon Ngu, which are in the territorial waters of the communist Democratic Republic of (North) Vietnam.  The boats were on a covert mission funded by the Central Intelligence Agency.

       NOTES:

• A false flag operation is a clandestine action usually carried out by a group with an agenda, done in such a way to mislead a population into believing it is being done by someone else.
• In the opinion of history, and of the editors and writers, we are forced to agree on prima facie evidence alone that this is a False Flag incident at least in the military way.
