A highly revealing ABC news article
describes plans for government-sponsored terrorism: "In the early
1960s, America's top military leaders reportedly drafted plans to kill
innocent people and commit acts of terrorism in U.S. cities to create
public support for a war against Cuba." The article goes on to reveal
that the plans, code-named Operation Northwoods, were approved in
writing by the top US military chiefs. They even proposed that the US
military secretly blow up an American ship and hijack US planes as a
false pretext for war. For the entire shocking article: http://abcnews.go.com/US/story?id=92662.

The
highly respected WantToKnow.info team
presents this information not to cause fear or anger, but rather to
inspire a desire to strengthen democracy by revealing hidden agendas, so
that we might then all work together to expose the manipulations and join
in building a brighter future. Our
website focuses on providing reliable, verifiable facts which are
being hidden from public view. By working to understand the thinking of
our military and political leaders, and by spreading this important
information, each one of us can make a difference.

plans of the top U.S. generals to sponsor terrorism on U.S. soil, click here.

Note
that these government documents were approved in writing by the Joint
Chiefs of Staff — the top generals of each branch of the US armed forces —
and submitted to Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara in 1962. The only
reason these plans weren't implemented is that they were rejected by the
Kennedy administration. Had the administration approved, these secret
manipulations would almost certainly have fooled the American public into
supporting war. These plans for government-sponsored terrorism
were classified top secret so that the American public would never know
how it was being manipulated. They came to light only because of a
Freedom of Information Act request in the late 1990s. Had the plans been
used, they would have been given operational status, and thus would never
have been released to the public in accordance with secrecy laws.

Below are key passages quoted directly from the Operation
Northwoods documents, which you can verify at the above links.
Page numbers are listed to assist in finding the quotes in the original
documents. As you read, we invite you to then ask yourself, is it beyond
comprehension that this same kind of thinking and planning could have led
to 9/11? More information on what you can do is given below these quotes.




Excerpts from Operation Northwoods Documents

MEMORANDUM FOR THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE


Subject: Justification for US Military Intervention in Cuba


The
Joint Chiefs of Staff have considered the attached Memorandum for the
Chief of Operations, Cuba Project, which responds to a request of that
office for brief but precise description of pretexts which could provide
justification for US military intervention in Cuba. It is assumed that a
single agency will be given the primary responsibility for developing
military and para-military aspects of the basic plan. It is recommended
that this responsibility for both overt and covert military operations be
assigned the Joint Chiefs of Staff.


Page 5 of File (page 2 of Joint Chiefs report)


World
opinion, and the United Nations forum should be favorably affected by
developing the international image of the Cuban government as rash and
irresponsible, and as an alarming and unpredictable threat to the peace
of the Western Hemisphere.

Page 8 of File (page 5 of Joint Chiefs
report)

This
plan ... should be developed to focus all efforts on a specific ultimate
objective which would provide adequate justification for US military
intervention. Such a plan would enable a logical build-up of incidents to
be combined with other seemingly unrelated events to camouflage the
ultimate objective.

Page 10-11 of File (page 7-8 of Joint Chiefs
report)


A
series of well coordinated incidents will be planned to take place in and
around Guantanamo to give genuine appearance of being done by hostile
Cuban forces.

(1)
Start rumors (many). Use clandestine radio.


(2) Land friendly Cubans in uniform “over-the-fence” to stage
attack on base.


(3) Capture Cuban (friendly) saboteurs inside the base.


(4) Start riots near the base main gate (friendly Cubans).


(5) Blow up ammunition inside the base: start fires.


(6) Burn aircraft on air base (sabotage).


(7) Lob mortar shells from outside of base into base.


( Capture assault teams approaching from the sea or vicinity of
Guantanamo City.


(9) Capture militia group which storms base.


(10) Sabotage ship in harbor; large fires – naphthalene.


(11) Sink ship near harbor entrance. Conduct funerals for
mock-victims.


We could blow up a US ship in Guantanamo Bay and blame
Cuba. Casualty lists in US newspapers would cause a helpful wave of
national indignation.


We
could develop a Communist Cuban terror campaign in the Miami area, in
other Florida cities and even in Washington.

report)

Use of
[Soviet] MIG type aircraft by US pilots could provide additional
provocation. Attacks on surface shipping and destruction of US military
drone aircraft by MIG type planes would be useful as complementary
actions. Reasonable copies of the MIG could be produced from US resources
in about three months.

Page 13 of File (page 10 of Joint Chiefs
report)

Hijacking attempts against civil air and surface craft should
appear to continue as harassing measures condoned by the government of
Cuba.

It is possible to create an incident which will demonstrate
convincingly that a Cuban aircraft has attacked and shot down a chartered
civil airliner enroute from the United States. The destination
would be chosen only to cause the flight plan to cross Cuba. The
passengers could be a group of college students off on a holiday.

An
aircraft at Eglin AFB would be painted and numbered as an exact duplicate
for a civil registered aircraft belonging to a CIA proprietary
organization in the Miami area. At the designated time the duplicate
would be substituted for the actual civil aircraft and would be loaded
with selected passengers, all boarded under carefully prepared aliases.
The actual aircraft would be converted to a drone.

The
drone aircraft and the actual aircraft will be scheduled to allow a
rendezvous south of Florida. From the rendezvous point the
passenger-carrying aircraft will descend to minimum altitude and go
directly into an auxiliary field at Eglin AFB where arrangements will
have been made to evacuate the passengers and return the aircraft to its
original status. The drone aircraft meanwhile will continue to fly the
filed flight plan. When over Cuba the drone will be transmitting on the
international distress frequency a “MAY DAY” message stating he is under
attack by Cuban MIG aircraft. The transmission will be interrupted by
destruction of the aircraft which will be triggered by radio signal.




What We Can Do

Remember that government and military leaders think of
world politics like a chess game. Sometimes you have to sacrifice your own
pieces in order to win the game. Zbigniew Brzezinski, former U.S.
National Security Advisor and co-founder of the Trilateral Commission,
titled his 1997 book The Grand Chessboard: American Primacy and Its
Geostrategic Imperatives. In this seminal book on American foreign
policy, Brzezinksi states that because of popular resistance to U.S.
military expansionism, his ambitious strategy for "American global
primacy" can’t be implemented "except in the circumstance of a truly
massive and widely perceived direct external threat." (The Grand
Chessboard, page 211).

Consider also that in September 2000, a think-tank named Project
for the New American Century published a blueprint for maintaining global
U.S. preeminence and shaping the international security order in line with
U.S. interests. Written before the 2000 Presidential election, this
revealing report was commissioned by future Vice President Cheney, Defense
Secretary Rumsfeld, Deputy Defense Secretary Wolfowitz, and Governor Jeb
Bush. The report shows that even before 9/11, the Bush administration
intended to take military control of Persian Gulf oil whether or not
Saddam Hussein was in power. [Article on BBC website and original report
both available
here]

Considering the above information, is it beyond comprehension that
tactics similar to Operation Northwoods might have been used in relation
to the 9/11 attacks in order to create "a truly massive and widely
perceived direct external threat?" Could 9/11 have been the
pretext upon which to build a War on Terror in order to "maintain global
US preeminence?" Might the 9/11 attacks have been allowed to
happen, or even facilitated and manipulated by elements of the U.S.
government and military? For what a highly decorated U.S. general had to
say on how politicians and corporations manipulate the public to support
war, click here.
