False Flags

    False flags by definition is an act committed with the intent of disguising the actual source of the act as a second party, then blaming that second party. In more simple terms a false flag is a covert operation that is used to blame a person, government, or country for something that you set up. False flags have been prevalent in our world for hundreds of years. False Flags are incredibly common and are most often used to undermine political opponents, during times of war, and is a main tactic in espionage. Larger world powers have used false flags for years and almost every Global Superpower has used them in order to benefit them in their endeavors. The United States is no stranger to using false flags, Operation Northwoods, Operation WASHTUB, The Piazza Fontana Bombing, and Operation PBFortune. And when it comes to other countries the list grows. Other famous false flags include Operation Himmler and and the Gliewitz Incident by Nazi Germany, Operation Susannah (The Lavon Affair) by Israel, and “Little Green Men” by Russia.

    Operation Northwoods (AKA “Justification of US Military Intervention in Cuba”) was a proposed false flag operation that would of had planes painted to look like Cuban Military planes, they would stage a terrorist attack on a US Airliner, blowing it out of the sky. After they would state that the plane was filled with college students on a planned trip. They would also stage bombings and killings in the streets of major American cities, the attackers would be dressed as Cuban refugees. JFK was appalled by the plan and stopped the operation from happening.    

    Operation Himmler (AKA Operation Canned Goods) was a Nazi military operation that used staged scenes of Polish aggression against Nazi Germany to justify the invasion of Poland. The scenes were false attacks on Nazi officers and German people. The staged scenes used polish men, women, and children who were already in Nazi concentration camps.

    Operation WASHTUB was a US Military and CIA backed operation to plant a Soviet Union weapons cache in Nicaragua to show that Guatemalan President Jacobo Arbenz had ties to the Soviet Union. The operation failed after the Nicaraguan press gave little attention to the story, and the cache of weapons became an urban legend.

Me and the Web

  The World Wide Web and I      When thinking about how I interact with the web I started to look at just how much I use all the different forms of social media. I was shocked to find just how much time I waste scrolling through the likes of Instagram, Twitter, and Youtube. In the past week alone I spent a combined 52 hours on all these apps alone. 40 of those hours were spent watching videos on Youtube, seven hours coming from scrolling through Instagram and five hours coming from scrolling through Twitter. My youtube watch time alone eclipsed two full days of videos which is a staggering thing to think about. After this revelation I started to think about just how much time these platforms take up and how to be able to stop myself from continuing this trend. It seemed like the 52 hours of that week didn't mean much to past me, but to present me, that time could have been used for more productive activities.       Now when looking at my digital footprint, despite all the time I sp

Supreme Court

  The Supreme Court           The Supreme Court is made up of nine Chief Justices and the court is one of the strongest allies the people have within the Federal Government. Since it's conception the Supreme Court has slowly gained more and more power, allowing them to choose laws or rulings that they deem unconstitutional. The role of a Supreme Court Justice is incredibly prestigious as there have only been little over one hundred justices in US history. Despite the prestigious role, the job is not easy, the justices get about 200 new cases every week, that is over 7000 in a single year, meaning that the review process that they must go through is long and tedious. The court however does not have to choose every case that lands on their desk, this is thanks to certiorari, it gives the justices the right to choose which cases will be heard, and which ones will not. The court is incredibly open about their process, unlike other corners of government they announce all of their verdic

Diffusion Theory and Youtube

  Diffusion Theory and Youtube     Rogers Diffusion of Innovation or Diffusion Theory states that over time a new invention or idea gains popularity or momentum and slowly diffuses itself into society. We have seen many companies and inventions go through this process such as Google, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, but no company in the past 20 years has had quite the impact then Youtube did back in 2005. The reason I say this is because the video sharing platform mogul holds the largest part of that market and there hasn't been a company trying to rival it. Youtube holds this space with an iron fist and it is incredibly interesting to see how this came to be. It all starts way back in 2005-2006 when Youtube made its first public appearance on the internet.     The reason Youtube caught on and spread as rapidly as it did is because people were finally able to post videos onto a website and hold a subscriber count of people who enjoyed their content. The early adopters of Youtube,
