> Nobody is claiming he didn’t tweet some rap lyrics

That would be the implication of calling this a "false flag." A false flag is a military operation blamed on another nation; if this was a false flag, then someone else would have tweeted it from Tan's account, so that they could transmit this sentiment without accepting blame for it.

Maybe you meant "opportunistic smear campaign" or something.



No I was referring to the postcard follow-ups as a false flag.


Gotcha. My bad.
