The full narration
In 1962, America's top generals signed a plan to murder their own people. They called it Operation Northwoods. Stay till the end, the last page is the worst part.
The Joint Chiefs proposed bombing Miami, sinking a boat of Cuban refugees, and shooting down a passenger plane full of Americans, then blaming Cuba to start a war. Every horror on the list, in writing.
"A 'Remember the Maine' incident could be arranged in several forms." That line is straight from the declassified memo. Every general signed it. Chairman Lyman Lemnitzer walked it to the Secretary of Defense himself.
