Creating a false enemy works because it evokes the instinctual fight or flight syndrome. The brain simply cannot resist becoming aroused when confronted with a possible enemy. The two main types of false enemies are false internal opponents, such as negative campaigning such as McCarthyism, and false external opponents, such as communism and the second Iraq war. While communism and Iraq were true problems, both were trumped up enormously to serve the role of a false enemy. False enemies are also known as scapegoats. They can also be used to divert the public’s attention from more important issues. Name-calling is one technique used to create a false enemy, but the biggest is fallacious arguments, better known as lies. “Next the statesmen will invent cheap lies, putting the blame upon the nation that is attacked, and every man will be glad of those conscience-soothing falsities, and will diligently study them, and refuse to examine any refutations of them; and thus he will by and by convince himself that the war is just, and will thank God for the better sleep he enjoys after this process of grotesque self-deception.” – Mark Twain, The Mysterious Stranger, 1910.

November 5th 1605, Guy Fawkes was set up by the Earl of Salisbury and the war party to blow up Parliment and King James (of King James bible fame - so no small fish). This event was the FOUNDATION STONE of the BRITISH EMPIRE, which was the largest empire ever built, and probably still in existance (in a different form) today. I would say that was significant. Remember, remember the 5th of November, gun powder and plot. Guy Fawkes. I’m sorry you’ve missed out one of the biggest false flags in history.
