It was a 1962 rejected plan by the US Department of Defense to cause acts of 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, 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.
I urge people to question everything even if it does sound ridiculous.

My grandfather said the only stupid question is the one you didn't ask - Meaning ask - or you will be the stupid one -
This thought seems to have gone the way of the wax record -
The employee we hire to run our nation for us - need to be treated more like the public servant and hired hand than they are
They are not better than us they do not get to tell us
We are their master not the other way around
They feed their children off our labour our money This point needs to be driven home to them -
They work for us and as such we get to question everything they do and just how long did you spend at the water cooler this morning etc etc
The problem lies in how backwards things have become -
The public is convinced we work for them - No no no
That would be Communism

Yes. The document was obtained via FOIA and is in the National Security Archives at George Washington University. People who haven't seen it, automatically start shrieking some sophomoric bit about "tin foil hats".
They unwittingly look like the fools they are.
Our government, like ALL governments, is far from the wise, benevolent guardian it purports to be.
