False Flag

"Is it true that the US government has repeatedly carried out attacks on its own population?"

The term ‘false flag’ refers to deception tactics where an attack is staged to make it appear as though someone else is responsible. Conspiracy theorists claim that the US government knew about the impending Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941 and allowed it to happen in order to gain public support for entering the war. A well-documented case is ‘Operation Northwoods’ – a secret plan proposed by the US military in 1962 to carry out a series of terrorist attacks within the USA and blame Fidel Castro, creating a pretext to invade Cuba. However, President John F. Kennedy cancelled the operation – just in time.
