Folks, we have already been through the lies about the Oklahoma City Bombing, and the governmental, military, and intelligence department denials of complicity. The Oklahoma City bombing was pre known by government officials and confirmed to be an inside conspiracy because of the multiple charges placed on the internal pillars of the Murrah Building. Just like TWA 800, just like JFK, just like Waco, just like Columbine, and now New York's "Twin Towers". The reason appears to be state sponsored "anti-terrorism controls and legislation, and ultimately UN / NWO takeover. Gun confiscation as well as "National Disarmament". Again, consider the article below where the US has intentionally instigated some of it's own internal terrorist attacks, to bring about their objectives, controls, responses, and future new legislation and counter measures. Don't forger Vietnam and the "Gulf of Tonkin"!

invasion pretext
By Scott Shane and Tom Bowman Sun Staff Originally published April 24, 2001
WASHINGTON - U.S. military leaders proposed in 1962 a secret plan to commit
terrorist acts against Americans and blame Cuba to create a pretext for
invasion and the ouster of Communist leader Fidel Castro, according to a
new book about the National Security Agency.
"We could develop a Communist Cuban terror campaign in the Miami area, in
other Florida cities and even in Washington," said one document reportedly
prepared by the Joint Chiefs of Staff. "We could blow up a U.S. ship in
Guantanamo Bay and blame Cuba," the document says. "Casualty lists in
U.S.
newspapers would cause a helpful wave of indignation."
The plan is laid out in documents signed by the five Joint Chiefs but never
carried out, according to writer James Bamford in "Body of Secrets."
The
new history of the Fort Meade-based eavesdropping agency is being released
today by Doubleday.
NSA regularly picks up the conversations of suspected terrorist financier
Osama bin Laden, says Bamford, and has monitored Chinese and French
companies trying to sell missiles to Iran. He provides new details about an
Israeli attack on a Navy eavesdropping ship in 1967, suggesting that the
sinking was deliberate. And he reveals the loss of an "entire
warehouse"
full of secret cryptographic gear to the North Vietnamese in 1975, at the
end of the Vietnam War.
Bamford, a former investigative reporter for ABC News who wrote "The Puzzle
Palace" about the NSA in 1982, said his new book is based mostly on
documents obtained through the Freedom of Information Act or found in
government archives. "NSA never handed me any documents," he said.
"It was
a question of digging."
He said he was most surprised by the anti-Cuba terror plan, code-named
Operation Northwoods. It "may be the most corrupt plan ever created by the
U.S. government," he writes.
The Northwoods plan also proposed that if the 1962 launch of John Glenn
into orbit were to fail, resulting in the astronaut's death, the U.S.
government would publicize fabricated evidence that Cuba had used
electronic interference to sabotage the flight, the book says.
A previously secret document obtained by Bamford offers further suggestions
for mayhem to be blamed on Cuba.
"We could sink a boatload of Cubans en route to Florida (real or
simulated). ... We could foster attempts on lives of Cubans in the United
States, even to the extent of wounding in instances to be widely
publicized," the document says. Another idea was to shoot down a CIA plane
designed to replicate a passenger flight and announce that Cuban forces
shot it down.
Citing a White House document, Bamford writes that the idea of creating a
pretext for the invasion of Cuba might have started with President Dwight
D. Eisenhower in the last weeks of his administration, when the plan for an
invasion by Cuban exiles trained in the United States was hatched. Carried
out in April 1961, soon after Kennedy became president, the Bay of Pigs
invasion proved a fiasco. Castro's forces quickly killed or rounded up the
invaders.
Army Gen. Lyman L. Lemnitzer, chairman of the Joint Chiefs, presented the
Operation Northwoods plan to Kennedy early in 1962, but the president
rejected it that March because he wanted no overt U.S. military action
against Cuba. Lemnitzer then sought unsuccessfully to destroy all evidence
of the plan, according to Bamford.
Lemnitzer and those who served with him in 1962 as chiefs of the nation's
military branches are dead. But two former top Kennedy administration
officials said yesterday that they were unaware of Operation Northwoods and
questioned whether such a plan was ever drafted.
"I've never heard of Operation Northwoods. Never heard of it and don't
believe it," said Theodore Sorenson, Kennedy's White House special counsel.
"Obviously, it would be totally illegal as well as totally unwise."
Robert S. McNamara, Kennedy's defense secretary, said: "I never heard of
it. I can't believe the chiefs were talking about or engaged in what I
would call CIA-type operations."
Bamford writes that besides the Joint Chiefs, then-Assistant Secretary of
Defense Paul H. Nitze also favored "provoking a phony war with Cuba."
"There may be a piece of paper" on Northwoods, said McNamara. "I
just
cannot conceive of [Nitze] approving anything like that or doing it without
talking to me."
The book contains many other revelations in its detailed account of NSA,
the biggest U.S. intelligence agency and Maryland's largest employer, with
more than 25,000 personnel at Fort Meade, site of its global eavesdropping
efforts.
Among them:
In recent years, NSA has regularly listened to bin Laden's unencrypted
telephone calls. Agency officials have sometimes played tapes of bin Laden
talking to his mother to impress members of Congress and select visitors to
the agency.
In the late 1990s, NSA tracked efforts by Chinese and French companies to
sell missile technology to Iran, particularly the C-802 anti-ship missile.
The eavesdropping led to U.S. protests to the Chinese and French governments.
When U.S. troops evacuated Vietnam in 1975, "an entire warehouse
overflowing with NSA's most important cryptographic machines and other
supersensitive code and cipher materials" was left behind. It was the
largest compromise of such equipment in U.S. history, Bamford writes, but
the agency still has not acknowledged it.
When Israeli fighter jets attacked the NSA eavesdropping ship USS Liberty
in the Mediterranean in 1967, killing 34 Americans and wounding 171, an NSA
aircraft was listening in and heard Israeli pilots referring to the
American flag on the ship. U.S. officials, including President Lyndon
Baines Johnson, decided to forget the matter, Bamford writes, because they
did not want to embarrass Israel. To this day, Israeli officials say their
forces mistakenly attacked the U.S. ship.
Bamford says the reason for the strike was Israel's desperate effort to
cover up its attacks on the Egyptian town of El Arish in the Sinai. The
Liberty was sitting offshore and the Israelis feared that the ship would
detect the operation, which included the shooting of prisoners.
Yesterday, an NSA spokesperson questioned a point made in the book about
the USS Liberty.
"We do not comment on operational matters, alleged or otherwise; however,
Mr. Bamford's claim that the NSA leadership was `virtually unanimous in
their belief that the attack was deliberate' is simply not true," the
spokesperson said.
When he wrote "The Puzzle Palace" in 1982, Bamford was attacked by
some NSA
officials, who said his revelations gave the Soviet Union and other U.S.
adversaries too much information on the secret agency. One former director
referred to him as "an unconvicted felon."
With the end of the Cold War, the agency has been less guarded. NSA's
current director, Air Force Lt. Gen. Michael V. Hayden, has granted a
number of interviews. Hayden "cracked the door open a tiny bit," said
Bamford, partly to burnish NSA's public image and correct misconceptions.
