1 00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:05,440 How far would the U.S. government go in order to justify going to war with another country? 2 00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:10,800 Would they stage hijackings? Maybe terror attacks on their own soil or soil abroad? 3 00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:15,840 Would they kill innocent people? Hold fake funerals for people who they said had died but 4 00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:21,280 never existed in the first place? They wouldn't do that, would they? Operation Northwoods, 5 00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:26,880 a 1962 declassified document. This was prepared by the Joint Chiefs of Staff for the Secretary 6 00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:32,480 of Defense. Then it went on to JFK who ultimately said, nah, we're not doing this, which is a good 7 00:00:32,480 --> 00:00:37,840 thing because the plan in here is absolutely insane. Let's take a look at it. Little background 8 00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:43,680 first. At the time, Fidel Castro was ruling Cuba. The U.S. didn't like that. They wanted to replace 9 00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:49,200 him with someone who aligned with U.S. interests. They tried assassinating him. They tried inciting a 10 00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:54,320 revolt within the country. It wasn't happening fast enough. So they decided we got to go in with 11 00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:59,600 the military, but it has to be justified on the world stage and with our own U.S. people. 12 00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:06,640 So they came up with nine tactics of here's what we can do in order to justify it. By looking at these, 13 00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:11,120 even though they weren't approved, we can see that maybe we need to start to question things that have 14 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:16,800 happened in the world, maybe the past, present, and future. Can we believe what the government says 15 00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:22,480 happened, actually happened, or was it all staged? Let's take a look at the nine tactics because I think 16 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:26,080 they're interesting. We're going to go into the details here because I like the details. The first 17 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:30,960 one is super basic. It's basically we're going to do exercises close to Cuba's coast and we're going 18 00:01:30,960 --> 00:01:36,560 to send little whispers through the underground so that they think that a U.S. attack is imminent. So 19 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:42,160 perhaps Cuba will be on the defensive and attack first. We'll maintain the posture that, oh no, these 20 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:47,600 were just exercises, but we'll go in and be justified to use our military on their soil. The second one is a little 21 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:52,880 bit more interesting. They plan an attack on their own Guantanamo base. They're going to use Cuban 22 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:58,800 friendlies dressed in Cuban military uniforms so it looks real. They'll put a group outside of the gate, 23 00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:03,760 have them start a riot, put some of them inside the base so it looks like they're being attacked, 24 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:09,440 blow up some ammunitions, blow up a U.S. plane, actual damage will be done to the structures. 25 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:14,560 Then they're going to pretend like they capture the bad guys. Again, these are Cuban friendlies. This is all 26 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:19,440 fake. And the most interesting part of this one is they're going to sink one of the U.S. ships off 27 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:25,360 the coast. Blame it on the Cubans, of course, and hold mock funerals for the people who died. 28 00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:30,800 There was no one on the ship. This is all fake. The third one involves using a drone ship off the 29 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:36,400 coast of Havana or Santiago so the civilians see what happens and believe it, okay? The Cuban military 30 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:40,480 is obviously going to be curious about this U.S. ship that's so close, so they're going to send out 31 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:45,200 someone to check it out. When it gets close, they blow up the U.S. ship. That way it looks like this 32 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:51,360 Cuban boat did it, but no, they didn't. Then they're going to stage rescue efforts to save the 33 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:56,000 crew who might have survived the attack. Again, there was no one on the boat in the first place. 34 00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:00,640 The fourth tactic. This is where we see the first instance of them being willing to sacrifice 35 00:03:00,640 --> 00:03:06,400 innocent lives. So they're looking at a refugee boat that's going from Cuba to U.S. Blow it up. 36 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:13,360 It can be real or simulated. They also say we could foster attempts on lives of Cuban refugees in the 37 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:18,880 United States even to the extent of wounding in instances to be widely publicized. You've seen 38 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:23,600 already and throughout this that anything that happens, they're going to publicize this on the 39 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:28,800 news so that people believe that the Cuban government is rash, irresponsible, they can't be trusted, 40 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:34,160 they're dangerous. So the U.S. has a moral responsibility to go in and stop them. 41 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:40,640 Number five, capitalize on what Cuba is doing in other countries, publicize it, and then create 42 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:47,840 more events that we do but blame it on Cuba, such as burning sugarcane fields, or perhaps a weapons 43 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:53,040 shipment is found on the coast of one of these countries and we blame it on Cuba. This is the U.S. 44 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:56,960 doing all of these things. How many times have we heard about weapons shipments that were intercepted 45 00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:03,440 by the U.S. military and blamed on another country? Was it actually or was it us trying to justify 46 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:08,880 military intervention in those countries? Will we ever know? I don't think so. Number six, 47 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:16,320 here we see that the U.S. proposes building out a plane that looks like Cuban Air Force. The idea 48 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:22,560 behind this one is to fly the fake Cuban military plane close to civilian airliners so they think 49 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:27,840 that they're about to be hijacked or shot down by the Cuban military. Everyone on board will look out 50 00:04:27,840 --> 00:04:32,800 the window, see the Cuban plane, think that they're being attacked. Even the pilot is going to believe 51 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:37,680 that they're about to be attacked. So they're going to come over on the intercom, maybe on FAA, and say 52 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:42,800 we're being attacked. We need to make an emergency landing. It's the U.S. the whole time. Number seven 53 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:48,240 simply states that we need to have an ongoing campaign of apparent hijackings of civilian planes 54 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:54,000 so people feel more fear. That's insane. But it leads us to number eight. I'm going to read direct 55 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:58,640 from the document on this one. It is possible to create an incident which will demonstrate 56 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:06,400 convincingly that a Cuban aircraft has attacked and shot down a chartered civilian airliner. How are 57 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:10,240 they going to make it more dramatic? They're going to say that it was a group of college students who 58 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:15,840 are going on holiday and they outline exactly how they're going to do it. So there will be two planes. 59 00:05:15,840 --> 00:05:21,120 One's a drone. One actually has people on it. These people are going to be given aliases. So the names 60 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:26,160 that are on this plane don't actually exist. The planes will take off at about the same time. 61 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:32,720 Civilians will land safely, exit, disappear. Those people don't exist. The drone will keep going. When 62 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:38,560 it gets over Cuban airspace, they'll send out a mayday signal. At the same time as they do that, a radio 63 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:44,000 signal will trigger the destruction of this plane. That one blows my mind. I mean we can see how that would 64 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:48,800 be used and publicized and the U.S. people and maybe even international audiences would start 65 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:53,120 calling forward with Cuba. If they attacked and killed a group of college students who were just 66 00:05:53,120 --> 00:06:00,800 off on vacation, yeah, they seem insane and maybe they should be taken down, right? Maybe. Number nine, 67 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:06,000 the big finale. This one involves lying to the U.S. service members. This one goes into a lot of detail, 68 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:10,640 so take a read if you're interested. It's going to be an air force exercise off the coast of Cuba. 69 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:15,440 Four planes doing a routine exercise, but before they take off, they're going to be primed to 70 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:20,960 believe what's about to happen. They'll say you need to carry ammunitions just in case Cuba attacks. 71 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:25,920 The pilot at the end of the formation is in on the whole gig. At some point during the flight, 72 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:31,280 he'll say he's being ambushed and then he'll cut his signal of his plane so no one can see him or find 73 00:06:31,280 --> 00:06:36,080 him. He's going to land safely. He's fine. By the way, this guy has an alias. He doesn't actually exist. 74 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:41,360 At the same time that the plane would have crashed, a submarine is going to pop up in the area 75 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:46,480 and distribute plane parts. And these three pilots who were in the air actually believe that they 76 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:52,640 just lost a brother in arms. So they land. This is what it says. The pilots returning to Homestead 77 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:58,960 would have a true story as far as they knew. Search ships and aircraft could be dispatched and parts of 78 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:05,040 aircraft found. So they're going to lie to their own military members. They lie to the public. They 79 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:10,640 publicize everything. They hold fake funerals. They send lists of fake victims off to the news. 80 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:16,800 It is absolutely insane the lengths with which they are willing to go and lie to the American people 81 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:22,400 and the world. So thankfully this wasn't approved. But when we see this, doesn't it make you kind of 82 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:28,560 question the world events that we've seen so far? What was staged? What was real? All of this is 83 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:33,360 shocking to me. I mean, I kind of had thoughts. I am more conspiratorially minded, but only because 84 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:38,080 shit like this exists and I can see that something is happening that they're willing to lie to us to 85 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:42,800 this degree. And maybe this plan wasn't approved because of the president that we had at the time. 86 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:47,360 But if it had been a different president, would this have been approved? At any point in the past, 87 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:53,120 present or future, have things like this been enacted, sold to us on the TVs as being fact, 88 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:57,920 justifying war with killing another group of people? What can we believe? So why should we pay 89 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:01,920 attention to something like this? How does how does this information affect our daily life? 90 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:06,880 Obviously we live in super divided times. We see such tragic events happening on the news, 91 00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:10,880 on social media. There's press conferences by politicians that are telling us to feel a 92 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:16,000 certain way about a certain group or a certain event. But what if those things were orchestrated 93 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:22,000 to get us to feel a certain way? What if this division has been created? We're holding on so tight to 94 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:28,560 these things that we perceive as facts. But what if they aren't facts? What if they aren't? I don't 95 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:33,840 think that we can ever know if anything is with absolute certainty a fact. So what if we loosened up 96 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:40,560 a little bit and we're open to the possibility that something may not be exactly as it seems or as 97 00:08:40,560 --> 00:08:55,120 we've been told. And maybe we won't trust blindly into the government.
