    False flag operations are covert operations conducted by governments, corporations, or other organizations, which are designed to appear as if they are being carried out by other entities. The name is derived from the military concept of flying false colors; that is, flying the flag of a country other than one's own. False flag operations are not limited to war and counter-insurgency operations, and have been used in peace-time; for example, during Italy's strategy of tension.

    Operation Northwoods

    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Operation Northwoods memoranda (March 13, 1962).[1]Operation Northwoods, or Northwoods, was a 1962 plan by the US Department of Defense to cause acts of simulated or real terrorism and violence on US soil or against US interests, blamed on Cuba, in order to generate U.S. public support for military action against the Cuban government of Fidel Castro. As part of the U.S. government's Operation Mongoose anti-Castro initiative, the plan, which was not implemented, called for various false flag actions, including simulated or real state-sponsored acts of terrorism (such as hijacked planes) on U.S. and Cuban soil. The plan was proposed by senior U.S. Department of Defense leaders, including the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Lyman Louis Lemnitzer.

    In the bad old days, we used to call it a Reichstag fire; doesn't make the argument credible.

    It's the 'Tin-Foil Hat Club's' term for terrorist attack. Seriously, we don't need a reason to want to go to war with Terrorists. They've been killing Americans for 30 years, they don't need any help from our own govt. moron.
