Were that the case, I think the NSA/CIA would have been able to figure it out.

[I'm a bit baffled by the comments that are simply assuming incompetence from these organizations.]

These are Government staffed organisations, and incompetence is always a possibility.

Perhaps they are aware and just decide to do it anyway, plenty of examples in US history.

Maybe read some history and be less baffled?

Yup. False flags have a long and well-documented history.

I want to echo your concerns. This thread is full of gaslighting and a lazy and strange assumption that organizations are maliciously accepting friendly fire due to their own tech or tools. Same with "government workers wanting an early medical retirement to get their pensions".
