BTW, he has no clue about Operation Northwoods. Yes, a few people in the Pentagon wrote a paper with some pretty wild recommendations on it, but where is the proof that any of them were put into motion, or that the JCS actually agreed with any of them?

What he said, was that Operation Northwoods was "plotted out", not that is was carried out. The point being, why in the hell were/are we thinking up evil shit like this in the first place?

I can't tell you what the JCS agreed with, but I can show you what they signed.

It reads like, "Without telling you who exactly wrote it, or whether or not we agree with it, we're giving you this paper full of ideas. We realize that these ideas are not the only ideas, and that other agencies will be submitting ideas too."

For the video author to keep saying "They were GOING to bomb Miami, and they were GOING to sink American boats........" is a pretty big leap IMO. How about simply saying it like it is, which is "A person (or group of persons) wrote a memo saying we COULD bomb Miami, and we COULD sink American boats.......etc"
