A Punchy Primer on Operation Northwoods
The false-flag scheme that taught America not to trust the government
You may think this infographic video is over the top. You might think it false. You might it say it exaggerates. Think again. This is an accurate, if breathless, summary of the Operation Northwoods, a cynical ant-democratic policy conspiracy, which was discovered and made public in 1997 by the Assassination Records Review Board, an independent civilian panel which did an excellent job in declassifying long-secret JFK documents in the 1990s.
The Northwoods papers were perhaps the most important JFK documents discovered by the ARRB. In my opinion Northwoods should be understood as a template for the events of November 22, 1963.
Now some people go overboard and say everything is a false flag operation. Remember when cable TV was hot with the claim that the romance of a feminist princess and a football stud was a false flag operation? I don’t go there. I think Taylor and Travis are your everyday love conspiracy. But where do some many Americans get such crazy, cynical, weird ideas? From the J-2 planning staff of the Pentagon, alas.
This explainer comes courtesy of The Infographics Show on YouTube, which specializes in explaining horrible things that human beings do (war, prison, sex) in frank but friendly terms. The show is NOT cynical or weird about Northwoods, just honest about this sorry chapter in American history.
You can read all 200 pages of the Northwoods papers for yourself at the website of the Mary Ferrell Foundation, the biggest online repository of searchable JFK assassination records. What do you think?’
Why is there is so little outrage over the Liberty incident?
Project Mockingbird. Jfk’s murder would have been impossible to cover up without Life Magazine, Henry Luce ((Allen Dulles’ ally) Walter Cronkite and Dangerous Dan Rather on the “inside” giving us only the information that the Government wanted us to have.
ONI was the first government intelligence agency to destroy the Kennedy murder files. Secret Service followed suit.
And who is the reporter that “breaks” the Watergate case? Bob Woodward, who
Is Naval Intelligence.
Congress passes the JFK act unanimously, but critical details are withheld. CIA is stuck holding the bag
To maintain the coverup. This was a national security killing that Johnson, Hoover, the Pentagon Generals, Henry Cabot Lodge, Nixon (of course it was his idea to murder Castro) George Bush, Allen Dulles, Charles Cabell, James Angleton and Henry Luce to name a dozen or so people that had foreknowledge.
Harvard educated Daniel Sheehan has a youtube video explaining the murder.
And who is the reporter that “breaks” the Watergate case? Bob Woodward, who
Is Naval Intelligence.
If Jim Garrison didn’t have the balls to actually put the DOJ to work, we may have never gotten to see the Z film that documented the crossfire that brought a President’s skull to explode backwards.
Mick Jagger and Keith Richards wrote the best song about the JFK assassination and they to this day are blissfully unaware of the symbolism
Jumping Jack Flash
i was born in a crossfire hurricane….
But it’s all right now
In fact it’s a gas…..
Kind of sums up the American Public’s muted non response to the coup.
One of the most abhorrent false flag operations went awry: the USS Liberty incident where, apparently, LBJ and senior Navy officers conspired with Israel to sink the almost defenseless intelligence ship, the USS Liberty in order to give the US an excuse to enter the Six Day war. Had the ship sunk with no survivors as planned, the attack would have been blamed on Egypt. Unfortunately for LBJ and the plotters, due to the bravery and ingenuity of the crew, the ship didn't sink even after being torpedoed, repeatedly strafed (including the life rafts), and napalmed, and even though LBJ recalled the US Navy jets which had been dispatched in response to the Liberty's distress call.
"I want that Goddamn ship going to the bottom. No help. Recall the wings." That is the precise order that Johnson gave Rear Admiral Lawrence Geis, the commander of the battle group of which the America was a part, the second time American planes were recalled, this time after the torpedo had struck. Geis gave that information years later to Lieutenant Commander David Lewis, who had been the head of the NSA group on the Liberty. Geis had asked Lewis to keep it secret until after he was dead, which Lewis did.

There are several videos by survivors on YouTube which prove that the attack was not a mistake due to the "fog of war."
