It is not a theory, nor is it a conspiracy to note that the tactic of faking an attack and blaming your enemy has a long and effective history which continues to this day.

Obama even passed a law making it legal for federal intel agencies to conduct operations meant to deceive the American people. Yet most people believe it could never happen and have not spent 2 seconds trying to conceive what such an operation would look like or how to protect themselves from it.

Hint: any such psy-op would likely use mainstream media as its primary conduit.
Working hypothesis: such operations are being conducted daily.
