As images of Capt Smit Macchar’s lacerated scalp surfaced, Dhruv Rathee again faced backlash for claiming in a now-deleted video that "people are saying this is a false flag operation."
In his defense, Rathee argued he was merely quoting others.
This is classic rhetorical framing used to introduce a conspiracy theory and inject baseless claims into public discourse while maintaining plausible deniability.
For an influencer with millions of followers, this is logically flawed and socially irresponsible. The distinction between making an assertion directly and framing it as an external rumor is negligible in terms of audience impact; the moment he amplified an unfounded "false flag" narrative, even wrapped in neutral framing, he granted it visibility and unearned credibility, planting seeds of doubt without taking accountability.
It would have been acceptable had he immediately debunked those rumors as false, baseless conspiracy theories after quoting them. But he didn't. Instead, he simply stated that people were calling it a false flag and suggested waiting for the investigation to find out, leaving an unfounded conspiracy on equal footing with facts.
Imagine a scenario where the world is battling a severe pandemic similar to COVID-19, and a creator states, "People are saying 80% of the world's population will be wiped out, but let's see if it's true or not." It would create immense panic among everyday viewers who trust him, even if he relies on plausible deniability.
There is a clear reason why he ultimately had to delete that video.
गुजरात हाई कोर्ट ने भरूच की जामा मस्जिद को लेकर नोटिस जारी किया है। मस्जिद के अंदर 19वें जैन तीर्थंकर भगवान मल्लिनाथ जी की मूर्ति मिलने के बाद अब ये मामला अदालत तक पहुंच गया है।
ये इतिहासिक 'अश्वबोध तीर्थ' है, जिस पर मुस्लिम समाज के लोगों ने अवैध रूप से क़ब्ज़ा किया था। अब पवित्र जैन तीर्थ को लेकर कानूनी लड़ाई शुरू हो चुकी है।
Dawn, arguably the most prominent independent news organization in Pakistan, compiled a list of the country's seven most rigged elections and ranked the 2018 elections at number one.
However, former Indian Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) SY Quraishi, whom Dhruv Rathee interviewed as an independent, impartial expert on Indian elections, SIR and current CEC Gyanesh Kumar called this very 2018 Pakistan elections free, fair, and transparent.
This single example is enough to understand Quraishi's objectivity, judgement and bias.
सोचो... 2012 का भारत! ●
अतीक अहमद हाईकोर्ट से जमानत माँगता है... 1 जज नाम देखता है, खुद को केस से अलग कर लेता है ! 2 हटता है, 3 हटता है... करते-करते 10 जजों ने सुनवाई से इनकार कर दिया !
कोई सुनने को तैयार नहीं, इतना खौफ था !
नाम था - अतीक अहमद !
17 साल में पहला जुर्म, 100 से ज्यादा केस, 5 बार विधायक, 1 बार सांसद, पूरा पूर्वांचल जिसके इशारे पर चलता था !
जिसके कुत्ते तक को मंत्री सलामी देते थे, जिसके डर से फाइलें बंद हो जाती थीं...
फिर आया 2017!
उसी अतीक के पूरे साम्राज्य को, बेटों और गुर्गों समेत, एक भगवाधारी संत ने 6 साल में जड़ से खत्म कर दिया !
2023 में कहानी खत्म !
नाम - महंत योगी आदित्यनाथ !
ये फिल्म की स्क्रिप्ट नहीं है, ये तुम्हारे 2017 वाले एक वोट की ताकत है!
जिस पर आज पूरा यूपी गर्व करता है!
It’s done bro, everything is exposed !!
Afterall, it was all about ‘Regime Change’..
आखिर मन में छुपी बात होठों पर आ ही गई!
सारा खेल सत्ता की कुर्सी पाने का है.. फिर उसके लिए विद्यार्थियों, किसानों को उकसाना ही क्यों ना पडे, जाति और भाषा के नाम पर द्वेष फैलाना पडे, या देश की प्रतिष्ठित संस्थाओं की प्रतिमा मलीन करनी पडे। आंदोलन की आड में अराजकता फैलाना ही 'इनका' उद्देश है।

🚨 EXCLUSIVE 🚨
High quality CCTV footage of Dipke being offered to leave for his hometown to attend his grandmothers funeral.
This deranged man REFUSED.
And what did Cockroaches do? Projected Delhi Police as evil.
Share this video everywhere, expose these clowns.
Another protest march is set for Oct 10.
Beneath the facade of a peaceful march, the organizers will repeatedly urge "keep the peace", a calculated ploy to wash their hands of the upcoming chaos. Behind the scenes, the protest will be infiltrated by the usual violent groups, many wearing school backpacks to pass as innocent students. Their objective is to provoke law enforcement by attacking officers, baiting the police into using necessary force. With cameras strategically positioned, they will weaponize the footage to stage a narrative of "state brutality against students" to outrage the public.
By that same evening, a coordinated tweetstorm featuring celebrities and influencers will leverage those exact photos and videos to turn common youth against the state, turn "state oppressing students" into a pop culture trend, and generate widespread support to pressure the govt into yielding, yet again.
This isn't looking good. The govt must handle this head-on. The meeker you act, the more empowered the regime-change machine becomes. At some point, you have to put your foot down and deal with it instead of just playing the "expose" game, which has lost its value now.
Whatever issues people may have with the govt's performance, only common citizens through the ballot have the right to overthrow an elected govt, not a few thousand compulsive protesters in the streets. Their motives, methods and motivation must be squashed once and for all.
This dumbass post by Dipke got 2.1 m views, while Narendra Modi video call with Smit Machchhar hasn’t even crossed 2.5 million views, despite the video being quoted by hundreds of people worldwide.
Western platforms are intentionally suppressing content related to the Modi Govt.
NEW: Interrogation of the Omani pilot: the objective was to crash the plane into the terminal building at Ben Gurion Airport.
The assault on the other pilot was timed deliberately. He waited until the aircraft was over Jordan, near Israel, before moving against him.
From that point the plan was to fly a normal landing approach so nothing would appear unusual. Only in the last seconds, once interception was no longer possible, would he turn the aircraft into the terminal.
The plot was thwarted by one decision. The wounded Indian pilot got the cockpit door open at all costs, and that is the only reason the attack did not succeed.
#BREAKING: As per Arabic Media, Omani pilot linked to the Fly Dubai incident is named "Hamam Al-Hammami". He was fired by Oman Air in 2024-2025 for browsing extremist websites regularly. Without background check hired by FlyDubai. Mother of Syrian origin. Official word awaited.
My salute to the Indian pilot Captain Smit Machchhar for his extraordinary bravery.
Despite being stabbed and seriously injured, he fought back, resisted, opened the cockpit door, and enabled passengers and crew to overpower the attacker — preventing a catastrophic mid-air disaster.
He saved the lives of 174 people, including Israeli citizens and other nationals.
I wish Captain Machchhar a speedy and full recovery.
He is a true hero.
⚠️ IF THAT FLYDUBAI PLANE HAD CRASHED…
1️⃣ The Indian pilot would have been blamed instantly.
2️⃣ Racists would have flooded social media with “Indian pilots” narratives before investigators even reached the wreckage.
3️⃣ Pakistani troll accounts would have amplified it, turning a tragedy into another India-bashing opportunity.
4️⃣ AI171 and the Phuket incidents would have been dragged in as evidence of a “pattern of behaviour” of Indian pilots.
5️⃣ Every unrelated Indian aviation incident would suddenly have become part of a narrative about supposedly “unsafe Indian pilots”.
6️⃣ Meanwhile, Oman’s lack of any meaningful history of aviation terrorism would have been used to bolster the India pilot angle.
7️⃣ If Indian pilot Capt Smit hadn’t survived & fought back to save the plane, the world would have got an entirely different story.
Captain Smit Machchhar is a HERO.
In the face of the gravest danger and despite being seriously injured, he showed immense courage and an unwavering resolve to protect the lives of others.
His valour helped save hundreds of lives and avert a great tragedy.
India is proud of Captain Machchhar.
Praying for his speedy recovery, renewed strength and good health.
Buon compleanno al mio amico @narendramodi, a cui auguro salute, energia e successo.
Italia e India continuano a rafforzare il loro profondo legame di amicizia, costruendo insieme un futuro di cooperazione e prosperità per le nostre Nazioni.
