...One idea seriously considered involved the launch of John Glenn, the first American to orbit the earth. On February 20,1962, Glenn was to lift off from Cape Canaveral, Florida, on his historic journey. The flight was to carry the banner of America's virtues of truth, freedom, and democracy into orbit high over the planet. But Lemnitzer and his Chiefs had a different idea. They proposed to Lansdale that, should the rocket explode and kill Glenn, "the objective is to provide irrevocable proof that . . . the fault lies with the Communists et al Cuba [sic.]"

Article on Northwoods

(See, what we're going through now is just a dusted-off version of Operation Northwoods. The enemy back then was Cuba. Now the plan is being used to crash the American economy through a series of body blows, and thereby bring down the world's economy. Values of real estate, etc. will plummet and the wealthy...through their corporate-controlled governments...will buy up the land for pennies on the dollar. If they even BOTHER to pay. We're being misdirected by 'attacks' and 'catatrophes', and now that GWBush's numbers are back up since he cried on TV, he'll feel 'empowered' to attack Iraq or whatever is on the schedule. Next well see some phony 'evidence' come out that Saddam is the greatest threat of all time, then our unelected Exec will claim a 'mandate', and everyone will rally behind him because of the astronauts. Sick, sick, sick. And laid out for us 41 years ago. I mean...they even offered to kill John Glenn to get at Castro, and the mentality hasn't changed at all, unless it's grown even more vicious)
