False Flag Operations: Declassified Military Do***ents Show How US
Government Planned Terrorist
Attacks Against its Own Citizens
PRWEB | September 7, 2006
New York, NY – As re****ted by ABC News, stunning military do***ents
codenamed "Operation
Northwoods" were declassified in recent years and show how in 1962, the
top US military leaders
planned an operation to create terror attacks against its own cities and
kill US citizens. See:
http://abcnews.go.com/US/story?id=92662&page=1
The do***ents state that through the fabrication of false evidence, the US
would blame Cuba and
gain public sup****t for an unpopular war against Castro. They included
developing a fake
Communist Cuban terror campaign in the Miami area, the use of airplanes,
and much more.
For further details, the now declassified military do***ents are available
at the National
Security Archive of the George Wa****ngton University:

In his newly published book "Towers of Deception – The Media Cover-Up of
9/11," Barrie Zwicker,
writes about Operation Northwoods and many other such operations that the
military and
intelligence community refer to as "false flag operations."
http://www.newsociety.com/bookid/3932
Zwicker is a lifelong journalist who was a media critic for 35 years and
who often appeared on
Canadian national TV and radio.
His book explains that these covert operations are designed to appear as
if they are being
carried out by other entities, such as other countries or terrorist
groups, to help demonize
them and justify wars for geopolitical reasons and for financial gains.
The term "false flag" is derived from the naval warfare concept of flying
false colors; that
is, flying the flag of a country other than one's own.
The ABC News article dated May 1, 2001 explains that Operation Northwoods
was approved and
signed by the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Eisenhower
appointee Army General
Lyman L. Lemnitzer, and was presented to Kennedy’s Secretary of Defense
Robert McNamara on
March 13, 1962.
A year earlier, President Eisenhower, apparently aware of such dangers,
had warned the nation
during his January 17, 1961 farewell address:
"In the counsels of Government, we must guard against the acquisition of
unwarranted influence,
whether sought or unsought, by the Military Industrial Complex. The
potential for the
disastrous rise of misplaced power exists, and will persist. We must never
let the weight of
this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should
take nothing for
granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper
me****ng of the huge
industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and
goals so that
security and liberty may prosper together."
http://www.eisenhower.archives.gov/farewell.htm
General Lemnitzer, the Eisenhower appointee and highest ranking officer of
the US military in
1962, recommended that Operation Northwoods be run by the military. It was
signed and approved
by all of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the panel comprising the
highest-ranking members of each
major branch of the Armed Forces.
As per the ABC News article, the only reason why Operation Northwoods did
not materialize in
1962 was because it was apparently turned down by President John F.
Kennedy.
By law, the President of the United States is the commander in chief. The
Chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff and the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the Army, the Marine
Corps, the Navy, the Air
Force and the Coast Guard, are all under his command.
The Joint Chiefs of Staff website explains that based on the
Goldwater-Nichols DOD
Reorganization Act of 1986, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is
today the principal
military adviser to the President but doesn’t exercise military command
over any combatant
forces. http://www.jcs.mil/#
The ABC News article quotes author of "Body of Secrets – Anatomy of the
Ultra-Secret National
Security Agency," James Bamford, a former Wa****ngton Investigative
Producer for ABC’s World
News Tonight. He says that if such war plans against American cities were
put into operation,
it would have amounted to treason.
Article III, Section 3 of the U.S. Constitution states: "Treason against
the United States,
shall consist only in levying war against them..."
http://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution/constitution.articleiii.html
Bamford goes on to say that around that time, "the
Senate Foreign Relations Committee published its own re****t on right-wing
extremism in the
military, warning a ‘considerable danger’ in the ‘education and propaganda
activities of
military personnel’ had been uncovered. The committee even called for an
examination of any
ties between Lemnitzer and right-wing groups. But Congress didn't get wind
of Northwoods..."
Media critic Zwicker says that today, Congress and journalists have access
to the declassified
do***ents of Operation Northwoods and that the media must indeed reflect
on Eisenhower’s
warning of vigilance and be willing to learn and investigate more, publish
more and broadcast
more information about false flag operations to help prevent such acts of
treason from being
committed in the future.
In his controversial book critical of both the 9/11 "official story" and
the media coverage of
the events, Zwicker goes through the history of false flag operations
dating back to the 1600s,
and among many examples, cites the February 27th,1933 fire of the German
Parliament (Reichstag
fire) three days prior to Germany’s federal election.
Historians later do***ented that the fire had been authorized by
right-wing Nazis where Hitler
used the event to declare a state of emergency and pressured the German
President, Hindenburg,
to sign a decree aboli****ng most of the human rights provisions of the
Constitution.
Recently, on August 29th 2006, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld recounted
what he called "the
lessons of history," including the failed efforts to appease the
right-wing Adolf Hitler regime
of the 1930s.
"I recount this history because once again we face the same kind of
challenges in efforts to
confront the rising threat of a new type of fascism," said Rumsfeld.
http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/08/29/rumsfeld.ap/index.html
As a senior media critic, Zwicker strongly recommends that all media
people indeed follow
Rumsfeld’s suggestions in learning the lessons of Nazi history. He points
to researching
Hitler’s rise to power and how he created a fascist state where there was
suppression of the
opposition through secrecy, terror, torture and censor****p, all justified
under nationalism and
patriotism.
He also believes that journalists should research and publish more about
how Hitler's Nazis
manipulated the German population into wars, using psychological
manipulation and behavior
modification by inducing trauma and fear in others, a process of
trauma-based mind control
referred to in the now declassified
CIA files of "MK ULTRA." To order declassified MK ULTRA do***ents from the
CIA, go to:

Zwicker believes that the media must investigate and re****t on whether
these fear-based
psychological manipulation techniques have been or are being put into
application by US leaders
in our post 9/11 world, as they appear to be. 9/11 caused much trauma and
fear.
Concerned with the direction that the US has headed since 9/11, Dr. Robert
M. Bowman, referring
to the Bush / Cheney administration during a radio interview, said: "I
think there's been
nothing closer to fascism than what we've seen lately from this
government.”
http://www.govinfo.bnet-newmedia.co.uk/opinions_Articles.php?IDVal=50
Bowman is a retired United States Air Force Lieutenant Colonel, a
recipient of the Eisenhower
Medal, a former head of the US "Star Wars" space weapons program during
the Reagan
administration and one of America’s foremost experts on National Security.
He commented about the Patriot Act as having, "Done more to destroy the
rights of Americans
than all of our enemies combined."
Bowman is part of a group of notable experts called the "Scholars For 9/11
Truth" made up of
professors, engineers, former intelligence and military personnel,
journalists, attorneys and
many other professionals who say that the 9/11 attacks raise a red flag
because they have many
elements of false flag operations, such as a "stand-down" of the military
defense on that day,
one that must be questioned.
The group, made up of several dozen scholars, believes that the media must
no longer ignore the
fact that a growing number of them are calling for truly independent
investigations into 9/11,
including investigations to look into the evidence that points towards a
possible false flag
operation.
For more information about the evidence that the group claims raise
serious new questions,
readers can visit their website: http://www.scholarsfor911truth.org/
The group’s call for a truly independent 9/11 investigation appears to
resonate with a growing
number of mainstream Americans.
A May 2006 Zogby poll of 1,200 adults nationwide found that 45% of those
surveyed said that
Congress or an International Tribunal should re-investigate the attacks,
including whether any
US government officials consciously allowed or helped facilitate their
success.
Part of the popularity of this growing awareness may be due in part to the
millions of people
who have viewed one of the most watched online videos of all time, called
"Loose Change," which
addresses false flag operations and raises serious new questions about the
official government
9/11 story. See: http://www.loosechange911.com/
The Zogby poll also showed that more than 42 percent believe that the
government and the 9/11
Commission concealed or refused to investigate critical evidence that
contradicts their
official explanation of the September 11th attacks.

The mainstream American public has not been alone in their frustration
from lack of answers
about the official 9/11 story. Addressing the White House commissioned
9/11 investigation, a
September 1st, 2006 Associated Press article states that:
"The Sept. 11 commission's chairmen, Thomas Kean and Lee Hamilton, said in
their recently
published book that the commission found it mind-boggling that authorities
claimed that their
air defenses had reacted quickly. In the book, ‘Without Precedent,’ Kean
and Hamilton said the
panel was so frustrated with repeated misstatements by the
Pentagon and FAA about their response to the 2001 terror attacks that it
considered an
investigation into possible deception."
http://301url.com/4LJ
On August 9th, 2006, referring to their book and to this issue, CNN’s Lou
Dobbs as saying: "But
the fact that they were (would) continue and perpetuate the lie, suggests
that we need a full
investigation of what is going on and what is demonstrably an incompetent
and at worst
deceitful federal government."
http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0608/09/ldt.01.html
The historic reality of the deception of false flag operations is
confirmed by former Justice
Department prosecutor, John Loftus, who once held some of the highest
security clearances in
the world with special access to
NATO Cosmic, CIA codeword, and Top Secret Nuclear files.
Loftus has been sought after for his terrorism expertise by Fox News,
MSNBC, ABC, and many
other media across the USA. In a radio interview, when asked about
"Operation Northwoods," he
said "Sure, yeah, yeah. But you know it, there were thousands of those
plans."
http://www.debatingforum.com/viewtopic.php?p=19356&sid=06afa63958692e6723c5d72393292cb7
In his book, Zwicker elaborates that false flag operations are the
least-recognized, highest
impact category of human deceit. He says: "False flag op is the
indispensable, most dependable
device rulers use to mobilize their populations, especially behind wars
the rulers want."
According to a radio interview on Vancouver’s Coop radio, Zwicker believes
that it is not
impossible that such future events have already been planned in order to
move the US towards
Martial Law. http://exopolitics.blogs.com/exopolitics_radio/
The media critic has concluded that not unlike Germany in the 1930s, a
relatively small
right-wing extremist group of rulers want more and more power, and will
gradually further
eliminate civil liberties by manipulating people’s minds using more
Orwellian language.
He says that if the media doesn’t start paying more attention, there will
be increased
oppression of opposition that will likely move America, and perhaps other
Western countries,
towards a gradual further elimination of civil liberties. He calls this
the path towards a new
fascism, one controlled by a small group of ruling elites who perpetuate
war after war, such as
a never-ending "war on terror," to maintain their power and control.
Dr. Steven Greer has met and spoken to many intelligence, military,
government and cor****ate
whistleblowers who explain that to sustain and expand their existence in
their current form,
the military, industrial, intelligence, laboratory complex need a constant
influx of new enemies.
Greer was told that conflicts would evolve "from Cold War, to Rogue
Nations, to Global
Terrorism, to the ultimate trump card: A hoaxed threat from space."
http://www.disclosureproject.org/cosmicdeception.htm
On a brighter note, Zwicker believes that our current path of
enmification, the art and
consequence of enemy-making, can be reversed if, for example, the media
investigates terrorist
attacks to find out if they are false flag operations, expose deception,
and keep the ruling
elites and their circles accountable, not unlike how the Wa****ngton Post
covered Watergate in
the early 1970s.
The Wa****ngton Post did a story about Fred Burks in December 2004. He is a
whistleblower and
former senior State Department language interpreter to top-level
politicians such as President
Bill Clinton and
President George W. Bush.
http://www.wa****ngtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A49449-2004Dec8.html
Based on his website that exposes cover-ups, Burks believes that we first
need to speak
candidly about what's happening in the world at present and move beyond
secrecy and fear. He
concludes that the more informed we are, the more difficult it will be to
perpetuate the
deception of any future false flag operations.
Burks sup****ts choices that lead to a more spiritual and purpose-centered
life of "Compassion
In Action," as referred to by
President Bush on December 12, 2002.
http://www.lightstreamers.com/Dannion_PresidentBush.htm
He also believes that when we walk our talk, we can inspire others to lead
in a way that
creates a brighter future for all.
To read Burks’ view on what is happening and what we can do about it, see:
http://www.wanttoknow.info/brighterfuture
Burks’ philosophy resonates with Zwicker’s message about how, by working
together in exposing
the deception of false flag operations, the media and people from all
levels of society can
help prevent them, reduce the manufacturing of fear and hate, and improve
the human condition.

Zwicker will be speaking at the Great Hall at Cooper Union in New York
City on September 10th,
2006, a conference where he will be joined with Dr. Robert Bowman and
other researchers who are
encouraging the media to further learn about false flag operations. For
