...hey , let's talk about Lincoln suspending habeus corpus or FDR stacking the Supreme Court or maybe even the Teapot Dome scandal or Eleanor Roosevelt having a lesbian lover .


Those are all important political topics that we can learn a lot from and that I hope aren't repeated. (aside from the Lesbian lovers, which is also a topic i'm quite fond of)

think vietnam was started on something similar though they followed through on the plan and duped many people into going to fight for a war they had no reason to join

Yep. The Gulf Of Tonkin incident. Disgusting really. One of the most disastrous wars for the US in a long time and it was a sham.
I had two uncles and father drafted into that one.

Not even close... we might discuss some actual history here.

A suggestion isn't action. Jingoist joint chief's of staff don't make for actually plans. It's pretty clear why this was rejected and why it would always be rejected.

just came across this, how does no one get hung for treason for even offering such suggestions?

It's pretty relevant when you consider the one person who didn't "go along" with the CIA plan didn't live to see 1964

you served in the military didn't you? you don't find this a tad outrageous?


You mean the military that takes its orders from the same civilian hierarchy that shot down this terribad idea? Yeah, I served in the military.

Compared to all the crappy topics and conspiracies and trolls, an actual proposed plot in the US government to terrorize and kill Americans as an excuse to go to war is pretty note worthy

Especially when you consider the US Govts long history of false flag operations.


And future :lol:
