You are closer to the truth that most who claim that they are. Yes, this was a false flag (anyone who doubts me can sue me) but with every false flag there are REAL victims. The witness @aggroed who expertly covers the conspiracy section of steemit has a post: https://steemit.com/qanon/@aggroed/qanon-no-q-posts-today-so-far-but-researchers-still-digging which contains a video midway through his article that I HIGHLY recommend you give a look at because it deals heavily with the very first sentence of your comment. It shines light on a truth that was (and is still) hidden from 99% of the public eye and even though they may have their suspicions, there is nothing like having 100% documented proof and his post has covered the topic of it being a false flag so well that I could not try to do so myself without copying the work which he has already presented. If you do take a look at it, I would like to ask you this... "If both the U.S and Russian authority know that this was a false flag, are we being played by both sides (our government and theirs) and if so, what are their plans for us or is there a hidden agenda that we do not yet see?
