...of Horst Wessel, as noted in another post in this thread.

I'm not saying that it is actually the case, but rising dictators often use "false flag" assassinations or military actions to justify further violence or war.

Democracies also participate in "false flag" types events.

We are not immune in American history. There was, after all, the Gulf of Tonkin "incident," and perhaps the explosion of the battleship Maine, and a variety of other events of a similar nature in various incursions in Latin America.

I note that the orange pedophile has already attributed the murder of the contemptible racist morally vapid freak, being lionized in the propaganda machine, to generic "Democrats." It doesn't matter whether it's true or not whether he was killed by a Democrat or a false flag Republican. What matters is how the propaganda is received.
