You’re right on that I should have left a better descriptor.
My bad.

Basically, it seems that one of the signs of a false flag operation is cameras that just don’t seem to work where the false flag is happening.

Mixture of Confirmation Bias and Processing Bias:

With a little "Texas Sharpshooter Fallacy" thrown in for good measure:

You understand that this sort of faulty thinking is based upon a classic fallacy, right?

Step 1: Take a ginormous sample set ("something" happened!).

Step 2: Eliminate from consideration all the events where the cameras were functioning properly and we have some sort of footage (Zapruder film; closed-circuit tv footage; etc.) suitable for analysis. In fact, erase those other events from your consciousness or assert that they are somehow "unimportant" (or impeach the existing footage as "staged," a "hoax," etc.).

Step 3: Claim that the remaining events (and there will, given a sufficiently large initial sample size, always be some leftover cases where the cameras had been accidentally switched off, etc.) were intentionally engineered.

Voilà! Your conspiracy theory is complete!

Regards,
