Cover-up
 Cover-up  (Deception, statecraft)   | |

| The cover-up sides of deep events tend to be much more complex and instructive than their commission - an assassination is a relatively routine task as opposed to hiding an assassination. |
Cover story
Personnel involved in deceptive actions such as false flag attacks need at least one cover story. For example, after Saar Noam Ben Zvi and Salvador Guersson Smecke were arrested with firearms and explosives in the Mexican parliament, they initially said to belonged to a private security company and that their presence there was intended to offer their services to some legislators.[1]
Multiple cover stories
Large deep events may have innumerable cover stories, deployable at need, to allow more flexible response to unknown cicrumstances. One common ploy is sheepdipping of the personnel involved to give some credence to their misdirection. Mark Gorton wrote about the JFK Assassination that "the coup plotters had no way of knowing that things would go so smoothly, so they embedded within Oswald a variety of cover stories which could have been deployed under different scenarios. Oswald could have been made to look like a racist, a Cuban, a Russian, or even to have mob ties. However, since the Coup went so close to plan, he was declared to be a lone nut and dismissed as such."[2]
Examples
| Page name | Description |
|---|---|
| "Conspiracy mindset" | A tool of the deep state to undermine opposition. Anyone who believes in high level corruption (holds "conspiracy beliefs") is assumed to be mentally abnormal and deficient, although the majority of the population do so. |
| "Conspiracy theory/Academic research" | Like "terrorism research", this is long on assumptions and short on empirical investigation (especially of the historical record). It is part of a project to demonize any criticism of official narratives and promote deep state denialism. |
| "Lone nut" | Deep state functionary Lee Harvey Oswald, the canonical "lone nut", described himself as "a patsy" on his arrest and was killed in police custody by another USDS-affiliated lone nut. The commercially-controlled media continue to obscure the later finding of the HSCA, that JFK was killed by a conspiracy. |
| 9-11/Cover-up | A lot of resources have been devoted to containing the truth about the events of September 11th, 2001. However, while it has been more or less kept from television screens, awareness about 9-11 is growing worldwide. |

| "National security" | “What possible justification can there be, 43 years on, for information about it [the trial of the Shrewsbury 24], to be withheld on national security grounds? The failure to disclose has less to do with national security and much more to do with the potential for political embarrassment.” | Andy Burnham | 2015 |
