Memo Outlines Fake Attacks on American Interests by U.S. Military
Allison Bricker
A Declassified March 1962 memo, titled “OPERATION NORTHWOODS”, indicates that the Joint Chiefs of Staff outlined multiple possible scenarios to justify military invasion of Cuba. The 15 page memo approved by the entire Chiefs of Staff including Chairman Lemnitzer, received a TOP SECRET – SPECIAL HANDLING – NO FORWARDING designation. Not only does the memo contain highly immoral and despicable acts to be perpetrated by the United States Military in order to incite a war, the war-mongering scoundrels inside the Pentagon sought to keep this from as many of their colleagues as possible.
The memo specifically states that no U.S. officers involved in NATO nor the staff or chairman of the U.S. delegation to the United Nations should be in receipt or view this memo. The Joint Chiefs knew that they would need world opinion on their side in order to secure resolutions authorizing a unilateral invasion of Cuba. Thus, these traitors to the Republic needed to keep their treasonous acts under tight wrap, stating:
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.
The memo then goes on to list numerous scenarios for false flag terror attacks to be perpetrated by C.I.A. and U.S. Military within the United States and its military installation in order to rally the American people to a war footing thereby justifying an invasion. Specifically the memo suggests:
For those unfamiliar with the phrase “Remember the Maine”, it is a reference to the explosion and subsequent sinking of the U.S.S. Maine which propelled America into “Spanish-American War of 1898″. However unlike the sinking of the U.S.S. Maine which remains suspect to both historians and academics, due to a lack of substantiated evidence, here the Joint Chiefs of Staff specifically put on paper a desire to sink one of our own ships in order to further their lust for Cuban blood.
Further, the memo was not confined solely to military target as the memo goes on to suggest sinking a raft full of Cubans attempting to land in Florida. However the most eerie suggestion for a phony incident is as follows:
The fact that this memo even exists should give Americans full pause as the war-mongers such as Defense Secretary Gates who has been retained in his post by President-Elect Obama continue their macho saber rattling against Iran. While Iran is a disgusting theocracy, it is not a threat to America nor have they provoked us by attack. Let us remember this when the drumbeats begin again.
Our own C.I.A. postulates that their interference in toppling foreign governments coupled with the Plutocratic Oligarchs perverse blood-thirsty version of an interventionist foreign policy is prime causation for the September 11th attacks.
Fortunately when this memo was sent to then Secretary of Defense, Robert MacNamara he never acted upon it. Shortly their after President Kennedy removed the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Lemnitzer. Nevertheless, if we the people who are tasked with both keeping a watchful eye on government and as the guardians of our liberties, must be aware of the sickening depths of propaganda our government will go to in order to pull this nation into another costly, bloody war.
