Take a look at Operation Northwoods. Where the Joint Chiefs of Staff planned a similar operation to what unfolded with 911. What a coincidental date. The date is the number called for help from this government. It has to be seen to be believed. This is NOT THEORY. This is FACT. It was planned by this government had been held 'Top Secret' by this government for 40 years. Attributed to some as the Kennedy Staff. It was Eisenhower's Joint Chiefs of Staff. Kennedy assissinated (also made 'Top Secret' by the same government) by an individual with CIA background shortly after Kennedy put a stop to this Chiefs of Staff Plot. No theory here. JUST FACTS. The Chiefs go into great detail about how this tyranny and traitorism was to unfold. It shows how this government thinks. It shows how this government covers up it's tyranny and traitorism.

MEMORANDUM FOR THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE

Subject: Justification for U.S. Military Intervention in Cuba (TS)


1. The Joint Chiefs of Staff have considered the attached Memorandum for the Chief of Operations, Cuba Project, which responds to a request of that office for brief but precise description of pretexts which would provide justification for US military intervention in Cuba.

2. The Joint Chiefs of Staff recommend that the proposed memorandum be forwarded as a preliminary submission suitable for planning purposes. It is assumed that there will be similar submissions from other agencies and that these inputs will be used as a basis for developing a time-phased plan. Individual projects can then be considered on a case-by-case basis.

3. Further, it is assumed that a single agency will be given the primary responsibility for developing military and para-military aspects of the basic plan. It is recommended that this responsibility for both overt and covert military operations be assigned the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

MEMORANDUM FOR THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE

Subject: Justification for U.S. Military Intervention
in Cuba (TS)

1. Reference is made to memorandum from Chief of Operations, Cuba project, for General Craig, subject: "Operation MONGOOSE", dated 5 March 1962, which requested brief but precise description of pretexts which the Joint Chiefs of Staff consider would provide justifications for US military inter-vention in Cuba.

2. The projects listed in the enclosure hereto are forwarded as a prelimiary submission suitable for planning purposes. It is assumed that there will be similar submissions from other agencies and that these inputs will be used as a basis for developing a time-phased plan. The individual projects can then be considered on a case-by-case basis.

3. This plan, incorporating projects selected from the attached suggestions, or from other sources, should be developed to focus all efforts on a specific ultimate objective which would provide adequate justification for US military intervention. Such a plan would enable a logical build-up of incidents to be combined with other seemingly unrelated events to camoflage the ultimate objective and create the necessary impression of Cuban rashness and irresponsibility on a large scale, directed at other countries as well as the United States. The plan would also properly integrate and time phase the courses of action to be pursued. The desired resultant from the execution of this plan would be to place the United States in the apparent position of suffering defensible grievances from a rash and irresponsible government of Cuba and to develop an inter- national image of a Cuban threat to peace in the Western Hemisphere.

Enclosure A

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4. Time is an important factor in resolution of the Cubanproblem. Therefore, the plan should be so time-phased that projects would be operable within the next few months.

5. Inasmuch as the ultimate objective is overt military intervention, it is recommended that primary responsibility for developing military and para-military aspects of the plan for both overt and covert military operations be assigned the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

ANNEX TO APPENDIX TO ENCLOSURE A

PRETEXTS TO JUSTIFY US MILITARY INTERVENTION IN CUBA

(Note: The courses of action which follow are a preliminary submission suitable only for planning purposes. They are arranged neither chronologically nor in ascending order. Together with similar inputs from other agencies, they are intended to provide a point of departure for the development of a single, integrated, time-phased plan. Such a plan would permit the evaluation of individual projects within the context of cumulative, correlated actions designed to lead inexorably to the objective of adequate justification for US military intervention in Cuba).

1. Since it would seem desirable to use legitimate provocation as the basis for US military intervention in Cuba a cover and deception plan. to include requisite preliminary actions such as has been developed in response to Task 33 c, could be executed as an initial effort to provode Cuban reactions. Harassment plus deceptive actions to convince the Cubans of imminent invasion would be emphasized. Our military posture throughout execution of the plan will allow a rapid change from exercise to intervention if Cuban responses justifies.

2. A series of well coordinated incidents will be planned to take place in and around Guantanamo to give genuine appearance of being done by hostile Cuban forces.

a. Incidents to establish a credible attack (not in chronilogical order):

(1) Start rumors (many). Use clandestine radio.

(2) Land friendly Cubans in uniform "over-the-fence" to stage attack on the base.

(3) Capture Cuban (friendly) sabateurs inside the base.

(4) Start riots near the entrance to the base (friendly Cubans).

Appendix to
Enclosure A
7

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Page 11

(5) Blow up ammunition inside the base; start fires.

(6) Burn aircraft on airbase (sabatage).

(7) Lob morter shells from outside of base into base. Some damage to installations.

( Capture assault teams approaching from the sea of vicinity of Guantanamo City.

(9) Capture militia group which storms the base.

(10) Sabotage ship in harbor; large fires -- napthalene.

(11) Sink ship near harbor entrance. Conduct funerals for mock-victims (may be lieu of (10)).

b. United States would respond by executing offensive operations to secure water and power supplies, destroying artillery and mortar emplacements which threaten the base.

c. Commence large scale United States military operations.

3. A "Remember the Maine" incident could be arranged in several forms:

a. We could blow up a US ship in Guantanamo Bay and blame Cuba.

b. We could blow up a drone (unmannded) vessel anywhere in the Cuban waters. We could arrange to cause such incident in the vicinity of Havana or Santiago as a spectacular result of Cuban attack from the air or sea, or both. The presense of Cuban planes or ships merely investigating the intent of the vessel could be fairly compelling evidence that the ship was taken under attack. The nearness to Havana or Santiago would add credibility especially to those people that might have heard the blast or have seen the fire. The US could follow with an air/sea rescue operation covered by US fighters to "evacuate" remaining members of the non-existant crew. Casualty lists in US newspapers would cause a helpful wave of national indignation.

4. We could develop a Communist Cuba terror campaign in the Miami area, in other Flordia cities and even in Washington.

Appendix to
Enclosure A
8

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Page 12

The terror campaign could be pointed at Cuban refugees seeking haven in the United States. We could sink a boatload of Cubans enroute to Florida (real or simulated). We could foster attempts on lives of Cuban refugees in the United States even to the extent of wounding in instances to be widely publicized. Exploding a few plastic bombs in carefully chosen spots, the arrest of Cuban agents and the release of prepared documents substantiating Cuban involvement also would be helpful in projecting the idea of an irresponsible government.

5. A "Cuban-based, Castro-supported" filibuster could be simulated against a neighboring Caribbean nation (in the vein of the 14th of June invasion of the Dominican Republic). We know that Castro is backing subversive efforts clandestinely against Haiti, Dominican Republic, Guatemala, and Nicaragua at present and possible others. These efforts can be magnified and additional ones contrived for exposure. For example, advantage can be taken of the sensitivity of the Dominican Air Force to intrusions within their national air space. "Cuban" B-26 or C-46 type aircraft could make cane-burning raids at night. Soviet Bloc incidiaries could be found. This could be coupled with "Cuban" messages to the Communist underground in the ominican Republic and "Cuban" shipments of arms which would be found, or intercepted, on the beach.

6. Use of MIG type aircraft by US pilots could provide additional provocation. Harassment of civil air, attacks on surface shipping and destruction of US military drone aircraft by MIG type planes would be useful as complementary actions. An F-86 properly painted would convince air passengers that they saw a Cuban MIG, especially if the pilot of the transport were to announce such fact. The primary drawback to this suggestion appears to be the security risk inherent in obtaining or modifying an aircraft. However, reasonable copies of the MIG could be purchased from US resources in about three months.

Appendix to
Enclosure A
9

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Page 13

7. Hijacking attempts against civil air and surface craft should appear to continue as harassing measures condoned by the government of Cuba. Concurrently, genuine defections of Cuban civil and military air and surface craft should be encouraged.

8. It is possible to create an incident which will demonstrate convincingly that a Cuban aircraft has attacked and shot down a chartered civil airliner enroute from the United States to Jamaica, Guatemala, Panama or Venezuela. The destination would be chosen only to cause the flight plan route to cross Cuba. The passengers could be a group of college students off on a holiday or any grouping of persons with a common interest to support chartering a non-scheduled flight.

a. An aircraft at Eglin AFB would be painted and numbered as an exact duplicate for a civil registered aircraft belonging to a CIA proprietary organization in the Miami area. At a designated time the duplicate would be subsituted for the actual civil aircraft and would be loaded with the selected passengers, all boarded under carefully prepared aliases. The actual registered aircraft would be converted to a drone.

b. Take off times of the drone aircraft and the actual aircraft will be scheduled to allow a rendezvous south of Florida. From the rendezvous point the passenger-carrying aircraft will descend to minimum altitude and go directly
into an auxiliary field at Eglin AFB where arrangements will have been made to evacuate the passengers and return the aircraft to its original status. The drone aircraft meanwhile will continue to fly the filed flight plan. When over Cuba the drone will being transmitting on the inter-national distress frequency a "MAY DAY" message stating he is under attack by Cuban MIG aircraft. The transmission will be interrupted by the destruction of aircraft which will be triggered by radio signal. This will allow IACO radio

stations in the Western Hemisphere to tell the US what has happened to the aircraft instead of the US trying to "sell" the incident.

9. It is possible to create an incident which will make it appear that Communist Cuban MIGs have destroyed a USAF aircraft over international waters in an unprovoked attack.

a. Approximately 4 of 5 F-101 aircraft will be dispatched in trail from Homestead AFB, Florida, to the vicinity of Cuba. Their mission will be to reverse course and simulate fakir aircraft for an air defense exercise in southern Florida. These aircraft would conduct variations of these flights at frequent intervals. Crews would be briefed to remain at least 12 miles off the Cuban coast; however, they would be required to carry live ammunition in the event that hostile actions were taken by the Cuban MIGs.

b. On one such flight, a pre-briefed pilot would fly tail-end Charley at considerable interval between aircraft. While near the Cuban Island this pilot would broadcast that he had been jumped by MIGs and was going down. No other calls would be made. The pilot would then fly directly west at extremely low altitude and land at a secure base, an Eglin auxiliary. The aircraft would be met by the proper people, quickly stored and given a new tail number. The pilot who had performed the mission under an alias, would resume his proper identity and return to his normal place of business. The pilot and aircraft would then have disappeared.

c. At precisely the same time that the aircraft was presumably shot down a submarine or small surface craft would disburse F-101 parts, parachute, etc., at approximately 15 to 20 miles off the Cuban coast and depart. The pilots retuning to Homestead would have a true story as far as they knew. Search ships and aircraft could be dispatched and parts of aircraft found.

FACTS BEARING ON THE PROBLEM

1. The Joint Chiefs of Staff have previously stated* that US unilateral military intervention in Cuba can be undertaken in the event that the Cuban regime commits hostile acts against US forces or property which would serve as an incident upon which to base overt intervention.

2. The need for positive action in the event that current covert efforts to foster an internal Cuban rebellion are unsuccessful was indicated** by the Joint Chiefs of Staff on 7 March 1962, as follows:

" - - - determination that a credible internal revolt is impossible of attainment during the next 9-10 months will require a decision by the United States to develop a Cuban "provocation" as justification for positive US military action."

3. It is understood that the Department of State also is preparing suggested courses of action to develop justification for US military intervention in Cuba.

Within months, Lemnitzer was denied a second term as JCS chairman and transferred to Europe as chief of NATO. Years later President Gerald Ford appointed Lemnitzer, a darling of the Republican right, to the President's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board. Lemnitzer's Cuba chief, Brigadier General Craig, was also transferred. Promoted to major general, he spent three years as chief of the Army Security Agency, NSA's military arm.

In May 1963, Assistant Secretary of Defense Paul H. Nitze sent a the White House proposing "a possible scenario whereby an attack on a United States reconnaissance aircraft could be exploited toward the end of effecting the removal of the Castro regime." In the event Cuba attacked a U-2, the plan proposed sending in additional American pilots, this time on dangerous, unnecessary low-level reconnaissance missions with the expectation that they would also be shot down, thus provoking a war "[T]he U.S. could undertake various measures designed to stimulate the Cubans to provoke a new incident," said the plan. Nitze, however, did not volunteer to be one of the pilots.

Yes, there was a "Operation Northwoods" written and proposed to then President Kennedy by L.L. Lemnitzer (Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff), the document that was signed and approved by all of the Joint Chiefs of Staff has been de-classified. You can also find G.B. Sr. connections with Brig. General Lansdale, Air Force General and Deputy Director of the CIA Charles P. Cabell (brother of Earle Cabell, Mayor of Dallas at the time of the JFK Assassination), Frank Sturgis and E, Howard Hunt.
G.B. Sr. did work for the CIA prior to 1966, with his ties with Robert Mosbacher and Felix Rodriguez during that time. He also may have had a hand in Operations: 40, Mongoose, Bounty, Bingo, Dirty Tricks, Good Times, and Cyclone.

Take a look at Operation Northwoods. Where the Joint Chiefs of Staff planned a similar operation to what unfolded with 911. What a coincidental date. The date is the number called for help from this government. It has to be seen to be believed. This is NOT THEORY. This is FACT. It was planned by this government and had been held 'Top Secret' by this government for 40 years. Attributed to some as the Kennedy Staff. It was Eisenhower's Joint Chiefs of Staff.

In the event Cuba attacked a U-2, the plan proposed sending in additional American pilots, this time on dangerous, unnecessary low-level reconnaissance missions with the expectation that they would also be shot down, thus provoking a war "[T]he U.S. could undertake various measures designed to stimulate the Cubans to provoke a new incident," said the plan. Nitze, however, did not volunteer to be one of the pilots.

Yes, there was a "Operation Northwoods" written and proposed to then President Kennedy by L.L. Lemnitzer (Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff), the document that was signed and approved by all of the Joint Chiefs of Staff has been de-classified. You can also find G.B. Sr. connections with Brig. General Lansdale, Air Force General and Deputy Director of the CIA Charles P. Cabell (brother of Earle Cabell, Mayor of Dallas at the time of the JFK Assassination), Frank Sturgis and E, Howard Hunt.
G.B. Sr. did work for the CIA prior to 1966, with his ties with Robert Mosbacher and Felix Rodriguez during that time. He also may have had a hand in Operations: 40, Mongoose, Bounty, Bingo, Dirty Tricks, Good Times, and Cyclone.

you obviously just hate freedom. you just need to shutup and not talk about this. you 'liberal' 'terrorist' 'sympathizer.'

why don't you move to france. you probably love saddam too, right?

i was just seeing how many neo-con shallow idiot statements i could cram into a reply.

that's one of the first things that got me looking into this new world order stuff, and i never looked back.

You are an old buff on the subject. Does the article tie in enough different (not many I have seen are nearly this encompassing) tyrannies without theory? Would you rec this article for a neophyte to see the truth? Thats my market. ;)

Ed Ward, MD :cool:

i've only been looking into this for two and a half or 3 years, and i'm only 23. i don't know everything, but i have a good grasp of history and where the country is headed. the government likes to brag about what they're doing in plain view, and they know that most people won't read their legislation or watch cspan senate and house hearing and they use their media empires to keep us occupied with unimportant issues and lies by ommission.

it's a good start. there's really not one thing that will wake someone up. you just have to plant seeds, even if it sounds crazy, when they start seeing the things you talk about happen, maybe they'll want to learn more. friends are easier to talk to than family, who think you're talking down to them.

or have them listen to alex jones or the power hour (www.thepowerhour.com) and see what they think of that. there's just too much information to study and most people would rather watch football or worry about other things than the country they're living in is turning into a dictatorship.

alex jones' videos are also helpful. i'd get 911 the road to tyranny, matrix of evil and american dictators to start with. you can buy them and then make as many copies as you can of it and spread them around.

people can't comprehend tyranny and they can't imagine that it would be happening here and how, but it is, and it's the same tyranny of thousands of years ago. banking and social engineering and mercantilism and empire. nothing's changed. as a society, we've become decadent and ignorant and disconnected while the giant prison taxation surveillance registration licensed control grid is being built around us.

Operation Northwoods: The Counterfeit

January 24, 2002 -- In "Operation 911: NO SUICIDE PILOTS" I referred to a plan allegedly hatched by Pentagon brass in the 1960s to commit terrorist acts and use them as a pretext for war with Cuba (see above URL). The plan was called "Operation Northwoods."

Operation Northwoods was unknown to the American public until May, 2001, when details were released in James Bamford's new book, "Body of Secrets" (Doubleday). Bamford summarizes:

. .. the plan, which had the written approval of the Chairman and every member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, called for innocent people to be shot on American streets; for boats carrying refugees fleeing Cuba to be sunk on the high seas; for a wave of violent terrorism to be launched in Washington, D.C., Miami, and elsewhere. People would be framed for bombings they did not commit; planes would be hijacked. Using phony evidence, all of it would be blamed on Castro, thus giving Lemnitzer [Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff] and his cabal the excuse, as well as the public and international backing, they needed to launch their war. (pg. 82).

The mainstream press gave the book, in particular its Operation Northwoods revelations, lots of publicity. For example, ABCNews.com published a lengthy review with the author.

http://more.abcnews.go.com/sections/...fs_010501.html
or:
http://www.Public-Action.com/911/abcnorthwds

It seemed remarkable that ABC was willing to show the US military in such a bad light. Surely the Waco Holocaust was a more contemporaneous US military scandal, yet ABC continues to cover it up. I wondered at that.

The reviews were well in circulation, but still fresh when 9-11 hit. In retrospect, Northwoods seemed like an eery premonition. I thought the release of the Northwoods revelations were indeed a timely coincidence. Because the Northwoods scenario seemed to fit the facts of 9-11, many writers cited Bamford and Northwoods. I was one of them.

But there is just one problem with Northwoods. Operation Northwoods was not written by Americans. Put in other words, Operation Northwoods documents were not written by the Pentagon. They are counterfeits.

First, turn to pg. 85 of "Body of Secrets." Bamford says: "Among the most elaborate schemes was to ..."

And then he quotes a Northwoods document directly:


... create an incident which will demonstrate convincingly that a Cuban aircraft has attacked and shot down a chartered civil airliner en route from the United States to Jamaica, Guatemala, Panama or Venezuela. The destination would be chosen only to cause the flight plan route to cross Cuba. The passengers could be a group of college students off on a holiday or any grouping of persons with a common interest to support chartering a non-scheduled flight.


(You can download the Operation Northwoods documentation at the George Washington University's National Archive website. http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/news/20010430/
or view it here: http://www.Public-Action.com/911/northwds.pdf . Look at paragraph 8 in "Annex to Appendix To Enclosure A" to see the words quoted above.)

Study the last sentence in that quote. "The passengers could be a group of college students off on a holiday ....." See anything wrong with here? Well, Americans don't use the expression "off on a holiday." That is a British expression. Americans say "on vacation."

Operation Northwoods was allegedly written in 1962. I don't have a 1960s dictionary to hand, but I have a 1970s dictionary, the American Heritage New College Edition. Of "holiday," it says: "Often plural. Chiefly British. A period of time during which one is free from work; a vacation."

Whoever wrote and edited Operation Northwoods used British English. Remember, Pentagon documents pass through a gauntlet of reviewers, each one examining and weighing the significance of the smallest comma, ironing out idiosyncrasies until the document resembles dull, gray, luke warm bath water. The process is called "coordination."

Bamford said on p. 82: " . .. the plan, which had the written approval of the Chairman and every member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff ... " Half a dozen pairs of eyes, including "the Chairman and every member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff" would have reviewed the Northwoods documents had they been produced by the Pentagon. There is no way "off on a holiday" would have survived the first iteration had the writers and reviewers been American.

Nor is the phrase "grouping of persons" idiomatic American English. No, the documents were not generated by the bureaucrats at the Pentagon. So who wrote Northwoods? [See Endnote.]

What's a James Bamford?
It's hard to believe the author of a book on intelligence matters went past this obviously questionable documentation. His alarm bells should have gone off. Who is James Bamford?

According to the dustjacket, author James Bamford "was until recently Washington Investigative Producer for ABC's "World News Tonight with Peter Jennings." Impressive!

The dustjacket describes the book as "A no-holds-barred examination of the National Security Agency--packed with startling secrets about its past, newsbreaking revelations about its present-day activities, and chilling predictions about its future power and reach ... The NSA is the largest, most secretive, and most powerful intelligence agency in the world ... it dwarfs the CIA in budget, manpower, and influence ... "

Nor is "Body of Secrets" Bamford's first expose on the NSA. "James Bamford first penetrated the wall of silence surrounding the NSA in 1982, with the much talked about bestseller 'The Puzzle Palace.' In 'Body of Secrets' he offers shocking new details about the inner workings of the agency, gathered through unique access to thousands of internal documents and interviews with current and former officials. Unveiling extremely sensitive information for the first time ...." etc., etc.

Friends, what does all this mean? If Bamford was truly revealing "shocking" secrets of America's most powerful intelligence agency, do you really believe current and former officials would be talking to him, and that he would be given "unique" access to internal NSA documents? Of course not.

There's even a photo of the NSA building on the back cover. The back dustjacket reads: "JACKET PHOTOGRAPHY COURTESY OF THE NATIONAL SECURITY AGENCY."

Bamford is an NSA household pet, the designated unofficial "historian," and their PR flack. Bamford tells us what his job is. He quotes NSA Director Michael Hayden: "The American people have to trust us [the NSA] and in order to trust us they have to know about us." (Unnumbered and untitled page at beginning of book.) That's Bamford's job: Telling the public exactly what the NSA bosses think the American public should know so the American public trusts the NSA.
Remember what the dustjacket says. "Body of Secrets" is supposed to be an expose of the NSA, right? So instead of exposing an NSA outrage, the NSA errand boy exposes the Pentagon's. So much for the "expose." Bamford is getting the American public to trust the NSA by citing obviously faked documents. So much for the "trust."

Do your own search on google for reviews of "Body of Secrets." If your results are like mine, you will find that the big news the reviewers featured was Northwoods. It seems to have been Bamford's sexiest offering.

Whence Operation Northwoods?
ABCNews.com raised the question of how this fascinating Northwoods material came into Bamford's possession:

"Ironically, the documents came to light, says Bamford, in part because of the 1992 Oliver Stone film, 'JFK,' which examined the possibility of a conspiracy behind the assassination of President Kennedy.

"As public interest in the assassination swelled after 'JFK's' release, Congress passed a law designed to increase the public's access to government records related to the assassination.

"The author says a friend on the board [?] tipped him off to the documents.

"Afraid of a congressional investigation, Lemnitzer had ordered all Joint Chiefs documents related to the Bay of Pigs destroyed, says Bamford. But somehow, these remained."

So it seems that the documents missed the shredder, were stored by mistake, and surfaced after Congress made more JFK assassination documents available, whereupon Bamford's friend tipped him off (above). Whatever. All very lucky for Bamford, but with all this luck playing into his hands, you'd think he'd read them more carefully and notice the writers used British English and not American English. And you'd think his spook buddies at NSA would have noticed. And his publishers at Doubleday.

More About Bamford
James Bamford tells us more about himself in an article he wrote about his relationship with accused FBI spy Robert Hanssen. See "My friend, the Spy," published by the New York Times Magazine on March 18, 2001
http://www.nytimes.com/2001/03/18/magazine/18LIVES.html

We learn Bamford met Hanssen through a mutual friend, a CIA spook. " ... we all came together aboard my boat, a 60-foot motor yacht on the Potomac River in Washington."

Bamford tells us his boat was docked just a few slips down from a yacht CIA Director John Deutch used for "quiet meetings." We get a sense that, truly, Bamford is in with the in-crowd.

What was the name of Bamford's yacht? "It's name, perhaps fittingly, was 'Safehouse,' a hiding place for spies," says Bamford.

It does not sound as though Bamford, the writer of exposes, had an antagonistic relationship with the spy community, does it? Here we have Bamford's publishers boasting that Bamford is blowing the whistle on all this nasty spying business, while Bamford boasts his boat is a safe place for spies.

Bamford claims to have maintained a friendship with Robert Hanssen for approximately nine years. "He and his wife, Bonnie, even attended my wedding," he says.

Yet when Bamford's "friend" Hanssen is accused of treason by the infamously criminal FBI, Bamford swallows every accusation against Hanssen hook, line, and sinker. Remember, Bamford claims expertise on the world of intelligence, a world where lying, deception, forgery, frame ups, and assassinations are the coin of the realm. Yet he does not question any of the allegations made about his friend of nine years, despite the fact that Hanssen's accusers pulled off every dirty trick in the book to prevent Hanssen from defending himself in open court.

A man in Bamford's business must know that there's at least an even chance Hanssen was the FBI's victim, not a culprit. He must know how easy it would be to frame a counter-espionage agent. But what does Bamford do when his friend is publicly stoned? He takes part in the stoning.

Bamford paints his "friend" as a crank, a weirdo, and a religious fanatic, calling him "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hanssen. A man who could leave Sunday Mass and load a dead drop with top-secret documents or march in protest at the killing of 'unborn children' while coolly sending American spies to their deaths."

Bamford does not tell us why he maintained a nine-year friendship with such a weirdo. Instead, Bamford suggests Hanssen pursued the friendship with Bamford, and that Hanssen had a hidden motive for doing so. If Bamford was simply an honest investigative journalist, what leaks could Bamford have possibly given to Hanssen?

Who Really Wrote Northwoods?
Here is a professional NSA flack currying favor for the NSA by blowing the whistle on the Pentagon with counterfeit documents. The documents, presented as authentic, certainly put the Pentagon in a terrible light.

Of course we know that elements with the FAA and the US Air Force worked in cooperation with the terrorists. The failure of NORAD to intercept the errant planes on September 11, and the continued cover-up, proves that beyond a shadow of a doubt.

But the Northwoods documents suggest that if 911 was an inside job -- and it had to be -- then the Pentagon was the ARCHITECT. The Northwoods expose was ready and waiting for the inevitable 9-11 skeptics to show up, seize upon the plan, and point the finger of suspicion at the Pentagon. However, the Northwoods British-isms show that another hand, not an American hand, was guiding those planes into the WTC towers, and that the Operation Northwoods documents are a misdirector.

Northwoods was doubtlessly hatched by a foreign intelligence service and inserted into US national records. The discovery of the Northwoods documents reminds one of the incident in "Wag The Dog" when a newly composed song was inserted into the Library of Congress records to give the impression it had been written decades earlier; then the song, "Old Shoe," was conveniently "discovered" and popularized at the right time. Rent "Wag The Dog" at your local video store and watch it happen.

Let's see now ... What nation is peopled by masters of deception? Who has been using the US military as a cat's paw? Using 9-11 as a pretext, whose enemies is the US annihilating right now? Lemme think ...

A source has told me that Robert Hanssen found out about the plans of this foreign power to stage a big terrorist event in the US. Hanssen made the mistake of telling the wrong people in the FBI and was framed to keep him quiet.
Referring to Northwoods, Bamford told ABC: "The scary thing is none of this stuff comes out until 40 years later." No.
The scary thing is that the tentacles of a malevolent foreign power are deeply embedded in the most secret and powerful agencies in the US -- that this power is pulling the strings, yanking the chains, crashing airplanes into cities, sending America off to war, and gutting our traditional liberties at home.

End
[Endnote: If you continue to read pgs. 85-86 of "Body of Secrets," you will find these words right after the paragraph in which Americans go "off on a holiday":

"Lemnitzer and the Joint Chiefs worked out a complex deception." Then Bamford quotes from the Northwoods documents:

An aircraft at Elgin AFB would be painted and numbered as an exact duplicate for a civil registered aircraft belonging to a CIA proprietary organization in the Miami area. At a designated time the duplicate would be substituted for the actual civil aircraft and would be loaded with the selected passengers, all boarded under carefully prepared aliases. The actual registered aircraft would be converted into a drone [a remotely controlled unmanned aircraft.] Take off times of the drone aircraft and the actual aircraft will be scheduled to allow a rendezvous south of Florida.

Interesting plan, isn't it? -- remotely controlled aircraft and phony passengers? ]
