21 years ago, my friends and I exposed a false flag war. Over the next several years, nearly every prediction we made happened. Our pre-Iraq War claims were thoroughly vindicated. They seem obvious now. But at the time, no major American institution was reporting the things we had found -- so we ran radio ads. The ads would air, and the stations wo…
