The U.S. government considered manufacturing or obtaining Soviet aircraft in order to launch an attack on American or friendly bases that could then provide an excuse for war, according to newly released documents.
The documents are part of an October release of thousands of formerly classified files related to the assassination of John F. Kennedy. It describes a March 22, 1962 meeting that discussed “the question raised by the attorney general on the possibility of U.S. manufacture or acquisition of Soviet aircraft.”
The meeting was held by the “Special Group (Augmented),” which according to an encyclopedia on the Central Intelligence Agency, included Attorney General Robert Kennedy, CIA Director John McCone, National Security Advisor McGeorge Bundy and chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Lyman Lemnitzer. And while not members, President Kennedy and Secretary of State Dean Rusk would attend meetings.
The previously top secret documents listed three reasons for obtaining or manufacturing the aircraft.
“There is a possibility that such aircraft could be used in a deception operation designed to confuse enemy planes in the air, to launch a surprise attack against enemy installations or in a provocation operation in which Soviet aircraft would appear to attack U.S. or friendly installations in order to provide an excuse for U.S. intervention.”
The notion of using fake Soviet aircraft in a so-called “false flag” attack was first revealed in Robert Dallek’s “An Unfinished Life: John F. Kennedy, 1917-1963,” which was released in 2001. Dallek’s book says that the idea to manufacture or obtain Soviet aircraft was suggested by CIA Director McCone, however, the released documents say it was raised by Attorney General Kennedy.
The release of JFK assassination documents has produced other evidence of American government plots to use violence to create a pretext for war.
The Miami New Times reported in October that the CIA contemplated developing a “Communist Cuban terror campaign.”
“We could develop a Communist Cuban terror campaign in the Miami area, in other Florida cities and even in Washington. The terror campaign could be pointed at Cuban refugees seeking haven in the United States,” an April 1962 report sent by Gen. Edward Landsdale to Gen. Maxwell Taylor said. “Exploding a few plastic bombs in carefully chosen spots, the arrest of a Cuban agent and the release of prepared documents substantiating Cuban involvement also would be helpful in projecting the idea of an irresponsible government.”
This is impossible. No one in the U.S. Government could ever plot and plan a false flag and/or killing U.S. citizens. Therefore these documents are just conspiracy garbage.
You should cut back on the kool-aid.
You forgot the /sarc tag.
It’s necessary for some.

An “irresponsible government” well describes the CIA. Answerable to no one. Concerned only with their own power. Disregarding the safety of U.S. citizens. The CIA is today’s Pretorian Guard, and like the old Roman Pretorian Guard, an unregulated power unto itself.
>No one in the U.S. Government
Are we sure the CIA’s part of the US government? They’re largely self-funded, don’t seem to take orders, and have a habit of helping Communists to power in nations like Cuba. Maybe they’re trying to sucker JFK in so they could have leaked it to the press? JFK openly talked about disbanding the CIA. He didn’t trust them.
General Patton had the Right Idea.
Thanks,Mark.
The CIA were maniacs even back then.
Long past time to disband them.
You should learn to read sarcasm when you see it. The post you reposnded to was dripping with it and I think everyone got it but you.
Which brings us back to the question of who actually killed Kennedy.
Yep - Didn’t need a /s to get the post....That said, maybe LBJ decided that the pussy in the WH (who didn’t follow through) needed to be replaced by someone who would use the false flag - hence the Gulf of Tonkin “incident”....
Remember, the demrats were in power at this time and this regime was later identified as Camelot, the Camelot of Kennedys.
Absolute power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely
Wow, you give the Kennedy klan way to much credit. They were in it up past the top of their lying heads. The dems were in power then and if Hillary had been elected none of this would ever have been released.
I heard that somewhere before....only one case where it hasn’t been true - God .....
This government started going to hell shortly after the last man signed the declaration of Independence.
was never going to happen.
Sarcasm at 7:15am.....sorry but just woke up and no coffee......
I wouldn’t put too much indignation to this. It sounds like the “contingency planning” that the military does for every possible situation. If JFK wanted a war with the USSR he had all the excuse he needed right there in Havana.
Just visited Dallas a couple days ago. Oswald’s shot was one that any Marine could easily make, and the 10 yard “grassy knoll” couldn’t hide a chihuahua. Question: why did Ruby kill Oswald?
