- The 1995 Paris Bombings and the Algerian Infiltration ClaimA bomb at Saint-Michel station killed eight people in July 1995, the first of a wave attributed to the Armed Islamic Group. Former Algerian intelligence officers later stated that the network's European organiser was their own agent, and that he was allowed to go home.
- The Lindt Café Siege and the False Flag ClaimsA gunman held eighteen people in a Sydney café for sixteen hours in December 2014. Two hostages died. A coroner spent two years establishing that one of them was killed by police fragments and that commanders had waited ten minutes too long — findings that had been claimed as cover-up evidence before they were published.
- The 1993 World Trade Center Bombing and the Informant TapesAn FBI informant inside the circle that bombed the World Trade Center in February 1993 secretly recorded his own handlers. On the tapes he and an agent discuss a plan to substitute harmless powder for the explosives — a plan he says a supervisor vetoed.
- The Wall Street Bombing (1920) "Inside Job"The Wall Street Bombing "Inside Job" theory holds that the September 16, 1920 bombing in New York’s financial district was either staged, facilitated, or politically exploited by authorities in order to intensify anti-radical repression during the First Red Scare. The actual bombing killed 38 people and injured hundreds, and no perpetrator was ever definitively identified. Investigators focused on anarchist suspects, and the attack quickly became part of the wider political climate surrounding bomb scares, deportations, and anti-immigrant repression. Because the case remained unsolved, alternative explanations persisted, including claims that the bombing served as a false-flag event or was allowed to happen in order to justify continuing crackdowns associated with the Palmer-era anti-radical campaign.
