Sounds like he had the inside dope.
Rejected by President Kennedy, Operation Northwoods remained classified for 35 years.
In 1959, an armed revolution by Fidel Castro succeeded in overthrowing the US-backed Cuban dictator, Fulgencio Batista. Castro became the first communist leader in the western hemisphere, just 90 miles from the American mainland.
Declassified Northwoods document The US government sought ways of replacing the Castro regime with one more in line with American policies, with President Eisenhower creating a plan to overthrow the Cuban government using anti-Castro forces from Cuba and the surrounding area.[1] After the failed Bay of Pigs invasion, it was desirable to use the United States military to conduct a large scale invasion of Cuba instead of relying on rebel fighters.[3] However, it was important for the United States to not look like the aggressor.
Operation Northwoods was a plan drawn up by the Joint Chiefs of Staff in 1962 which outlined ways to generate support for American military operations in Cuba. In a nutshell, it consisted of a number of attacks, some real and some simulated, that would be performed by American forces and then blamed on the Cuban government.[2][3] The document, which has since been declassified and can be read in its entirety over a cup of coffee, outlined plans that ranged from blowing up unmanned drones and performing mock funerals, to conducting legitimate attacks on US military installations and American cities.[2] At one point it states, We could develop a Communist Cuban terror campaign in the Miami area, in other Florida cities and even in Washington.[2]
On March 16, 1962, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Lemnitzer, presented Operation Northwoods to President Kennedy. Nothwoods was rejected and Lemnitzer was quickly removed from his seat as chairman of the Joint Chiefs. Operation Northwoods was successfully kept a secret until 1997, when the John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Review board declassified 1,521 secret military records dated 1962-64.[5]
While Operation Northwoods was officially rejected and never put into action, elements of the plan sprung up elsewhere in American history. Operation Dirty trick was a plot to blame Castro if the 1962 Mercury space flight carrying John Glenn crashed, stating, The objective is to provide irrevocable proof that, should the Mercury manned orbit flight fail, the fault lies with the Communists et al. Cuba [sic].[6] It continues, This to be accomplished by manufacturing various pieces of evidence which would prove electronic interference on the part of the Cubans.[6] Even following the departure of General Lemnitzer, a Department of Defense policy paper in 1963 outlined the possibility of making it appear that Cuba attacked a member of the Organization of American States. The attacked party would request American assistance, giving the US a way into all-out war with Cuba.[7]
Brilliant!
People need to look into the relationship between JFK an LBJ, they may get a surprise!
Who was he talking about @ 1:40 ? Which monolithic group from around the world ?
War hero are you sure? We all know the legend of PT-109 but there were a lot of people in the navy who felt JFK should have been Court Martialed after his boat was rammed and cut in half by a Japanese destroyer but his father intervened.
Robert Kennedy Jr and his sister, Rory, spoke about their family on Friday night while being interviewed in front of an audience by Charlie Rose at the Winspear Opera House in Dallas. The event comes as a year of observances begins for the 50th anniversary of the presidents death. Their uncle was killed on Nov. 22, 1963, while riding in a motorcade through Dallas. Five years later, their father was assassinated in a Los Angeles hotel while celebrating his win in the California Democratic presidential primary.
Robert Kennedy Jr said his father thought the Warren Commission, which concluded Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in killing the president, was a shoddy piece of craftsmanship. He said that he, too, questioned the report. The evidence at this point I think is very, very convincing that it was not a lone gunman, he said, but he did not say what he believed may have happened.
Rose asked if he believed his father, the US attorney general at the time of his brothers death, felt some sense of guilt because he thought there might have been a link between his very aggressive efforts against organized crime. Kennedy replied: I think thats true. He talked about that. He publicly supported the Warren Commission report, but privately he was dismissive of it.
He said his father had investigators do research into the assassination and found that telephone records of Oswald and nightclub owner Jack Ruby, who killed Oswald two days after the presidents assassination, were like an inventory of mafia leaders the government had been investigating. He said his father, later elected US senator in New York, was fairly convinced that others were involved.

Just because something is generally accepted does not make it a fact while getting his surviving crew to safety after his boat was sunk could be seen as heroic it does not alter that many in the navy felt he was derelict in his duty which resulted in his boat being rammed and sunk.While JFK was not a terrible sailor or captain when the main thing your remembered for is having your boat sunk does not really earn the status of war hero in my opinion.War hero are you sure?

It's generally accepted that John F. Kennedy was a War Hero. I see no reason not to accept that.

"Ask not what your Country can do for you". What democrat today would dare make such a statement? The trick is that he didn't mean it .
It's my opinion your more than free to disagree with it can you highlight any part of JFK'S military service that stands out beyond the sinking of PT-109? Did getting shot down make McCain a war hero no was what he endured as a pow heroic you could say yes just as you could say the actions of JFK after the 109 was sunk was heroic. I would consider the captains of the ships featured in the book Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors or a Audie Murphy to be war heroes.Just because something is generally accepted does not make it a fact while getting his surviving crew to safety after his boat was sunk could be seen as heroic it does not alter that many in the navy felt he was derelict in his duty which resulted in his boat being rammed and sunk.While JFK was not a terrible sailor or captain when the main thing your remembered for is having your boat sunk does not really earn the status of war hero in my opinion.
That's a pretty cheap shot, considering that you were there in The Slot that night.
I guess you don't consider John McCain a hero either because he lost his aircraft, right?
The comments attached to that video on YouTube suggest some people have a serious comprehension problem, including the person who posted it.
He is not talking about secret societies like, say, the Illuminati. He is talking about OUR society, our nation at large.
He is talking about the government concealing the truth from us in the name of national security. He is talking about the government censoring the media in the name of national security. He is talking about the government overreaching with its power in the name of national security.
Very apt in today's times.
