Anyone ever heard of Operation Northwoods?

Duh. They make woolly socks.

You should think about becoming a comedian...not.

Have you spelt that correctly? Should that not be phallacy?

So obvious that even Katman would trip over it.

A careful read of the Wikipedia article shows no intention to cause human casualties except for a possiblility of wounding in one scene. The fact that the proposal was rejected out of sight shows the Government was totally against the idea. It was NOT the government but the military high ups who made the proposal.

"As the U.S. Department of Defense report noted:

Any of the contrived situations described above are inherently, extremely risky in our democratic system in which security can be maintained, after the fact, with very great difficulty. If the decision should be made to set up a contrived situation it should be one in which participation by U.S. personnel is limited only to the most highly trusted covert personnel. This suggests the infeasibility of the use of military units for any aspect of the contrived situation."[18]

The U.S. Department of Defense report even suggested covertly paying a person in the Castro government to attack the United States: "The only area remaining for consideration then would be to bribe one of Castro's subordinate commanders to initiate an attack on [the U.S. Navy base at] Guantanamo."[18]"

"The proposal was sent for approval to the Secretary of Defense, Robert McNamara, but was not implemented.

(Some fifty years later when asked about the plot by journalist David Talbot, Robert McNamara drew a blank. "I have absolutely zero recollection of it. But I sure as hell would have rejected it," McNamara said, adding, "I really can't believe that anyone was proposing such provocative acts in Miami. How stupid!"[22])"

So we can thank the US Government and President Kennedy for the fact that this scurrilous plan was NOT implemented.

His dick is so big that he trips over it?

Edit: Just been back and had a look at both your posts, and suspect you're both having a my dick is bigger than yours contest.

I'd not heard of that one before.

Nut jobs are every where. Which is why we must insist on open and transparent governments and their agencies.

Shame we can't insist on open and transparent media as well!

Tis always a bit suspect when these sorts of things go on and some controversial legislation gets passed. It's also strange that 2 guys were arrested in Canada soon after the bombing and they were charged because they were planning a bombing. So with these known bad people being on the watchlist etc... why weren't they picked up before they supposedly blew something up? There are questions that could do with an answer however it's highly unlikely that any story the bomber comes out with, short of a confession, will be taken seriously. Until then there is reasonable doubt, imho, to suspect that it wasn't the 2 that got shot.

You write this....

A careful read of the Wikipedia article shows no intention to cause human casualties except for a possiblility of wounding in one scene.

....and then go on to quote this.....

The U.S. Department of Defense report even suggested covertly paying a person in the Castro government to attack the United States:

.....when you have absolutely no idea what form that attack might have taken - or the casualties that might have ensued.


Do you have a monkey bashing away at your keyboard?

As for you'd have to be an idiot to believe that any government would do that to their own population... yup, squeeky clean history

Do you ever take anything in context? The fact remains that the US Government killed the plan, not planned it. I have really bitten my tongue so often here. I have tried to stick to facts and the actual point though. Not something you are very good at...

How is my previous post not in context?

Mashman everyone needs to know all about this stuff , we have been lied to and bullshitted for years
its AKA propaganda....but subtle .....TV ..what a great propaganda tool...

[Katman]

Anyhow, back on topic.....

Can anyone explain how the guy in the hoodie, who crouches for a number of seconds directly over the just shattered stumps of a double blunt trauma amputee, can then be comfortably reclining some moments later, surprising devoid of blood soaked clothing?

Honestly, I'm open to explanations.
