“Battle of Lexington” (1775) — America’s First False Flag?

henrymakow.com — April 19, 2015

Today is the 240th Anniversary of The “Battle of Lexington.”

The “Battle of Lexington,” 1775, was portrayed as an unprovoked slaughter of colonists by the British. James Perloff believes that, like the sinking of the USS Maine and 9-11, the event was engineered to start a war, the American Revolution.

Freemasons have manipulated Americans into fighting wars from the get-go. America was founded as a Masonic nation, what Francis Bacon called “the new Atlantis” when he supported the original Jamestown colony.

I grew up in Lexington, Massachusetts, where on April 19, 1775, a force of British redcoats, on their way to Concord to confiscate rebel munitions, encountered a small force of militiamen. Suddenly, “the shot heard round the world” was fired. In the ensuing skirmish, eight colonists were killed, and nine wounded. The British suffered one wounded. This was a causus bellum for the American Revolution.

But, was “the shot heard round the world” a false flag like 9-11, a pretext for war?

As explained in detail my online article The Secrets Buried at Lexington Green, Americans were deceived. It was proclaimed everywhere that the British had committed an unprovoked massacre in Lexington. The truth is individuals in concealed locations fired on the British first.

Though most Americans today recognize him only as a face on beer bottles, the revolution’s mastermind in Massachusetts was Sam Adams, whom biographer John Miller called the “pioneer in propaganda.”

Adams, Temporary Secretary of the 1774 Philadelphia Congress, had secured a pledge from delegates that, should warfare erupt between Massachusetts and British troops, the other colonies would aid Massachusetts. But this carried a stipulation: They would only help IF THE BRITISH FIRED FIRST.

By mid-April 1775 the SECOND Continental Congress was 3 weeks away. Sam Adams desperately needed a “British fired first” incident to bring to the Congress, lest passions for revolution and war wane.

Here is a HIGHLY condensed summary of my article.
