The US Plan to Kill Its Own Citizens
Forgotten History

(May 9, 2025) — In 1962, America’s top military leadership proposed a secret plan to stage false flag operations on American soil — just to justify a war with Cuba.

This chilling blueprint, known as Operation Northwoods, called for fake hijackings, bombings, staged funerals, and even the destruction of a drone airliner painted to mimic a real passenger flight. The goal: manufacture public outrage, blame Cuba, and rally the nation into supporting a full-scale invasion.

The Pentagon’s top brass, including General Lyman Lemnitzer and the Joint Chiefs of Staff, signed off on this plan. But President John F. Kennedy rejected it — shutting down the proposal before it could unfold. Declassified decades later by the JFK Assassination Records Review Board, Operation Northwoods is now a disturbing case study in how power can drift dangerously behind closed doors.

Join us as we explore the hidden history of Cold War deception, military manipulation, and the dark realities of false-flag history most Americans were never meant to see.

➔ How far were our leaders willing to go?

➔ And what would have happened if Kennedy had said yes?
