Yup.

Not nukes as such though. But heavy water, uranium and plutonium. Not a lot of doubt what they would use them for.

Israel made their own nukes, with fissile material gained from reactors given to them by France.

Many, many people. I would wager the majority of the world didn't know about the Libterty. It's not a topic that comes up much in general conversation.

then tell me why no jews died at wtc? and a quick tip; afghanistan is neighbour of iran from west. ring a bell?
Not so sure where you got your information on those who died in the WTC attacks, but there were indeed Jews that died in the attacks.

I think your analogy to the corporate world is poor and misleading. If this was just a plan of some private corporation then you're right, it would be completely insignificant and I wouldn't pay much attention to it.

Thing is though, this was created by the government. The people you voted, the ones you trust to protect you.
If its the idea of your boss at work, fine. If its the President, or the Minister of Defence etc then you got yourself a major scandal.

Also, if X= find a way to reduce cost, fine. But if X=kill American citizens to promote a war against fucking Cuba, then its NOT fine at all...

And you know what? I don't even care if it was ever implemented. Many will say it hasn't, others think it has on quite a number of occasions (the USS Liberty being one of them). The thought itself constitutes a capital offence against the people. Its treason.
In my analogy, X would be the destabalization of the Cuban government.

You're missing the whole point of the Northwoods document. It was finding ways to destabilize Castro. It was offering possible options. That's what we pay plans officers for. When you're ordered to offer options, that's what you do.

Actually, that's exactly what it means. The US government WAS considering killing its own citizens to further the anti-Castro movement.
Actually, that's not what it means. The opinions of a junior staffer / junior plans officer in the department of defense are NOT the policy of the United States, any more than the opinions of the German justice minister are the policy of the German government.

I think that the Northwoods document is a bunch of hullabaloo about nothing. It was a bad idea that was identified as such, and as a result was not acted upon.

Just because we have a warplan in a file cabinet somewhere for nuking all of Canada, invading, and taking over, does not mean that we'd do it.

I don't know if you're familiar with what the US DOD calles "red teams," but if you read one of their reports, you'd shit yourself. A red team is tasked with waging war against the United States. Right now, in a room somewhere in the Pentagon, there is a group of men and women who are planning chemical and biological attacks against the people of the United States. They are arguing about how to best deploy canisters with weaponized anthrax for the purpose of killing as many of their fellow citizens as possible. And they're paid by the government.

As I said earlier, Britain provided them with heavy water, plutonium and uraium. France did provide them with the reactors they used to refine the materials, but the materials themselves came from Britain via Norway. It's been well publicised since the government acknowledged this last year.

They did make their own nukes though.

Is this the part where I say....

WRONG


(Good post in general though)

I stand corrected. Some of their original nuclear material did indeed come from the UK. However, I'm going to stand by my assertion that they made their own nukes.

It was signed by Lyman Lemnitzer. Not exactly a junior staffer.

It was deemed a bad idea by the then President JFK. But this idea, as well as others (of the same caliber but less famous or still classified) were the work of a then considered rather extreme bunch of new politicians, the so called Neo-Conservatives. Aka, members of the current administration (Paul Wolfowitz, Donald Rumsfeld and so on).

Like I said before, the thought alone is treason. Let alone the fact that some of what had been suggested may have actually taken place. I don't even care about the latter scenario, since there's no way of knowing for sure.

I've heard about "red teams". Their job is to come up with possible scenarios so that the country won't be caught napping. So what's your point? This is no imaginary future plan. We're talking about actions that the US government would take against its own citizens, not some outside enemy! Unless of course if the red teams are coming up with plans for more effective coups d' etat!! lol

What the fuck is anyone who is saying Israel is evil over 15 years of age? Can you understand English easy? The US ordered Israel to attack the USS Liberty so they could enter the war. Israel did not attack the ship for the fun of it.

History is your friend. Yes, Israel are, in my opinion, "evil". However, it is unbelievbly important to remember the historical factual events of how the Israel/Palestine geographical situation came to place.
