False-Flag Mass Casualty Attacks
False-flag mass casualty attacks is a broad modern conspiracy theory claiming that major shootings, bombings, and terrorist incidents are secretly staged, engineered, or opportunistically allowed in order to manipulate the public and justify policy goals. In reality, 'false flag' is a real term in warfare and intelligence history, but the sweeping post-tragedy claims attached to events like Sandy Hook, Parkland, Uvalde, Buffalo, Las Vegas, and many terror attacks typically go far beyond the available evidence.
