A recently declassified CIA document has revealed that in the 1960s, the U.S. military considered a plan known as Operation Northwoods, which involved committing acts of terrorism against American citizens to justify military intervention in Cuba. The document indicates that the Joint Chiefs of Staff proposed the operation, which included plans to blow up a U.S. Navy ship in Guantanamo Bay and to kill Americans in false flag attacks. This plan was ultimately rejected by then-President John F. Kennedy, who opposed the operation. The release of these documents has reignited discussions about the so-called 'deep state' and the government's willingness to engage in extreme measures for geopolitical objectives.
