OK folks(the ones who believe there was absolutely no conspiracy whatsoever), read the following and tell us if the present administration would never do such a thing. Simply substitute Iraq for Cuba and terrorists for a MiG fighter.
8. It is possible to create an incident which will demonstrate convincingly that a Cuban aircraft has attacked and shot down a chartered civil airliner enroute from the United States to Jamaica, Guatemala, Panama or Venezuela. The destination would be chosen only to cause the flight plan route to cross Cuba. The passengers could be a group of college students off on a holiday or any grouping of persons with a common interest to support chartering a non-scheduled flight.
a. An aircraft at Eglin AFB would be painted and numbered as an exact duplicate for a civil registered aircraft belonging to a CIA proprietary organization in the Miami area. At a designated time the duplicate would be substituted for the actual civil aircraft and would be loaded with the selected passengers, all boarded under carefully prepared aliases. The actual registered aircraft would be converted to a drone.
b. Take off times of the drone aircraft and the actual aircraft will be scheduled to allow a rendezvous south of Florida. From the rendezvous point the passenger-carrying aircraft will descend to minimum altitude and go directly into an auxiliary field at Eglin AFB where arrangements will have been made to evacuate the passengers and return the aircraft to its original status. The drone aircraft meanwhile will continue to fly the filed flight plan. When over Cuba the drone will being transmitting on the international distress frequency a "MAY DAY" message stating he is under attack by Cuban MIG aircraft. The transmission will be interrupted by destruction of the aircraft which will be triggered by radio signal. This will allow ICAO radio stations in the Western Hemisphere to tell the US what has happened to the aircraft instead of the US trying to "sell" the incident.
Do you know where this came from? It was a 1962 memorandum for the Secretary of Defense. It outlined excuses ways to militarily invade Cuba and get away with it in the court of public and world opinion. You can read the entire unclassified document here. Just look at the other options they were planning as well.
Now tell us...Do you still think that our present administration is beyond planning such attacks on American people? If you do, well, all I can say is, there is no hope in taking off those blinders. This document just goes to show that the US government, regardless of political affiliation, will do anything and everything, including killing its own citizens, to pursue its sick goals.
Chew, or choke, on that.
