False Flags with Richard Dolan

July 2025 •English

Richard Dolan guides us through the history and implementation of covert operations, and the resultant media coverage, to reveal the ulterior motives behind such actions. We live in a world of illusions designed to keep us in a state of confusion and feeling hopeless. But we can free ourselves from these shackles of deception as we learn how this game is being played out, right before our very eyes. He shows us that false flag operations and propaganda are tools used to achieve specific ends that would otherwise be impossible to justify. We examine details from various historical events, from the great fire of Rome to the 9/11 attacks, to uncover the consequences for everyone involved. For some, this information may be difficult to accept. Stripping away the illusions can be painful at first, but having this knowledge is empowering, to the benefit of all humanity.
