HUMAN first, then a proud IRANIAN

This blog represents the way I see some of the most significant events impacting the world and its citizens. This blog also represents how I react to the events as a member of humanity with a voice, a determined voice that insists to be heard. The voice of an Iranian who loves his country but his priority is humanity; humanity without border. I will say what I want to say, when I want to say it, and how I want to say it, but I will never lie. I will also listen; I promise.

Terrorizing Americans by the US army?

U.S. Military Drafted Plans to Terrorize U.S. Cities to Provoke War With Cuba
By David Ruppe


"N E W Y O R K, May 1 — In the early 1960s, America's top military leaders reportedly drafted plans to kill innocent people and commit acts of terrorism in U.S. cities to create public support for a war against Cuba."

Oh, no I am not saying it. It is on ABCNEWS.com. Here is the link. The link might not last long. But don't worry, I'll keep a copy of the content, if the link disappears.

"Code named Operation Northwoods, the plans reportedly included the possible assassination of Cuban émigrés, sinking boats of Cuban refugees on the high seas, hijacking planes, blowing up a U.S. ship, and even orchestrating violent terrorism in U.S. cities. The plans were developed as ways to trick the American public and the international community into supporting a war to oust Cuba's then new leader, communist Fidel Castro."

"The plans had the written approval of all of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and were presented to President Kennedy's defense secretary, Robert McNamara, in March 1962. But they apparently were rejected by the civilian leadership and have gone undisclosed for nearly 40 years."

Now, this takes me back to the events of September 11. Could it be possible that elements within the US government knew about Al-Qaeda plans to carry out the 9/11 terror attacks and rather than thwart it, they let it happen to justify the invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq and may be Syria and Iran next.

According to the story, the whole idea of terrorizing US cities was rejected by President Kennedy. But considering the fact that President Bush is much less intelligent and much less principled individual than President Kennedy, could it be possible that similar plans were brought forward to Bush and that he went along with them? Again, this is condsidering the fact that current US administration includes elements such as Wolfowitz, Rumsfeld, Cheney and Pearl who have no regard for human lives?

While I don't buy into the theory that Bin Laden was not involved in the attack, I no longer dismiss the possibility that some sections of the US establishment would allow the killing of US citizens to create conditions for the invasion of Afghanistan and later Iraq.
