I'm suspicious of the new Captain America

The ending of the premiere episode of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier raised a number of eyebrows when a new Captain America was unveiled.

While other people might talk about #NotMyCap, my talking point here lies somewhere else entirely- not the Cap himself, but who presented him.

Does anyone remember the 2014 film Captain America: The Winter Soldier, where Steve Rogers and Natasha Romanoff discover that H.Y.D.R.A. has infiltrated S.H.I.E.L.D. and even some levels of government (i.e. Senator Stern whispering "hail Hydra" to Jasper Sitwell)? 

I'm thinking much of the same is in play here, and although it's been only one episode, my theory stems from the timing of the announcement. 

I promise this will be the only time my blog dips into anything even remotely political, but do you remember Trump's tweeting pattern of baiting the media, where he'd tweet something out to distract them from something slightly more critical? This strikes me as being in slightly the same vein.

One night, we see the Flag Smashers rob a bank in Switzerland. The next morning or maybe early afternoon, the new Captain America is unveiled. 

Note: I'm not expressly saying there's a connection between the Flag Smashers and the person presenting the new Cap. I'm just saying (a) I'm drawing what I think is one of the more logical potential outcomes based on available evidence, and (b) Marvel's done this before- both with H.Y.D.R.A. in S.H.I.E.L.D. and more recently in WandaVision, that S.W.O.R.D.- ostensibly a good-side defense organization- actually isn't so nice.
