Did you know that the US government has secretly planned terrorist attacks on US citizens in the past?

Question

"Operation Northwoods, or Northwoods, was a 1962 plan by the US Department of Defense to cause acts of terrorism and violence on US soil or against US interests, blamed on Cuba, in order to generate U.S. public support for military action against the Cuban government of Fidel Castro. As part of the U.S. government's Operation Mongoose anti-Castro initiative, the plan, which was not implemented, called for various false flag actions, including simulated or real state-sponsored acts of terrorism (such as hijacked planes) on U.S. and Cuban soil. The plan was proposed by senior U.S. Department of Defense leaders, including the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Lyman Louis Lemnitzer.

So for all you people who keep insisting that the US government would never consider attacking its own citizens, do you still think that is the case?

If they would consider it once, why wouldn't they consider it again?

"Operation Northwoods, which had the written approval of the Chairman and every member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, called for innocent people to be shot on American streets; for boats carrying refugees fleeing Cuba to be sunk on the high seas; for a wave of violent terrorism to be launched in Washington, D.C., Miami, and elsewhere. People would be framed for bombings they did not commit; planes would be hijacked. Using phony evidence, all of it would be blamed on Castro, thus giving Lemnitzer and his cabal the excuse, as well as the public and international backing, they needed to launch their war."

Answer 1

How awful.

Answer 2

the government admits that there grow to be a propsal spoke of as "Operation Northwoods". and it grow to be purely that a notion. President Kennedy refused the notion and that's the tip of it. there have been many proposals placed forth throughout that ingredient physique, some categorized, some not, some solid, many poorly concieved. like numerous company the goverment will look at a great array of strategies to handle subjects because of the fact the upward push up, purely because of the fact some one proposed it, do not think of it may be seen heavily. I advise which you learn up and the Cuban disaster of the early 60's, the Bay of Pigs, etc. you're bowled over at what you will discover. by your posting this interior the way which you probably did leaves a great variety of questions of your reason. Are you attempting to declare it fairly is what occurred on the WTC? many human beings attempt to apply this as info for the WTC activities, so your are going to get some nuts replying right here.

Answer 3

In fairness, a lot of things have been planned but cooler heads have prevailed and the plans were not carried out. There were some experiements the CIA carried out against unknowing, unconsenting citizens of the United States, though. They dosed a few people with LSD and some of them, unaware that anything had been done to them, became convinced they were going insane and panicked and committed suicide. The government also tested germ warfare against unconsenting citizens of the United States, they thought the microbes were fairly harmless but there was at least one death, in San Francisco, I believe. Both these experiments against the citizens were carried out in the 1950's. Wouldn't it be nice if public SERVANTS took their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution seriously!

Answer 4

Bottom line: Presumably planned but not carried out. The "secretly planned attacks" didn't stay secret very long. Isn't America great? Freedom of Information Act, a 24/7 microscope of media and independent news people aimed at Capital Hill - and - admit it - nothing stays "secret" very long - not even republican burglaries or democratic indiscretions, let alone serious policies.

Answer 5

The U.S. government hasn't planned, but claimed at least one accident as terrorist attacks ("Remember the Maine" was the catch phrase of an accident claimed to be a terrorist attack that helped lead to the Spanish American War).
