US Planned to Kill Own Citizens

September 12th, 2006 at 9:14 am By johnsee (Around the World)

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.

Code named Operation Northwoods, the plans reportedly included the possible assassination of Cuban émigrés, sinking boats of Cuban refugees on the high seas, hijacking planes, blowing up a U.S. ship, and even orchestrating violent terrorism in U.S. cities.

The plans were developed as ways to trick the American public and the international community into supporting a war to oust Cuba’s then new leader, communist Fidel Castro.

    “The scary thing is none of this stuff comes out until 40 years after,” says Bamford.

    Like the cockpit recordings of the hijacked planes on September 11 they wont be released for ages
