-Caveat Lector- http://www.proparanoid.com/OK1.htm ... Let us start by first asking if there is any evidence that the American military is capable of any thinking, strategy, or deed such as I charge them with, here. And make no mistake, I charge the military with terrorism, and other crimes... of essentially declaring a Secret War (an official military think tank term) on America in order to remake government more to their liking, something closer to a fascist military police state. If you think such charges are ridiculous... doubt me if you will, but look what is in the public record... Portrait of a Terrorist Organization: The Joint Chiefs of Staff and Operation NORTHWOODS James Bamford is a former investigative reporter for ABC news who is well known for his 1982 book, The Puzzle Palace, which reveals the inner workings of the super secret National Security Agency (NSA), which is much larger and more secret than even CIA. Bamford has authored a powerful new book called Body of Secrets (April 2001) which perfectly frames this presentation. According to the book, the Pentagon created a secret faked terrorism campaign called Operation NORTHWOODS in 1962, which was intended to commit acts of terrorism on American citizens and blame Cuba as a pretext for invasion and overthrow of the Castro regime. The book quotes from details of the plan, which was signed by the five Joint Chiefs at the Pentagon, and presented to President Kennedy who promptly rejected it. Immediately after the rejection, US Army General Lyman L. Lemnitzer, chairman of the Joint Chiefs, sought unsuccessfully to destroy all related documents to the plan, according to Bamford. Here is what the Joint Chiefs endorsed, quoted in their own words from secret documents uncovered by Bamford: "We could develop a Communist Cuban terror campaign in the Miami area, in other Florida cities and even in Washington," "We could blow up a U.S. ship in Guantanamo Bay and blame Cuba," "We could sink a boatload of Cubans en route to Florida (real or simulated)." There was a similar suggestion that a CIA passenger flight might be shot down claiming evidence that Cuban military forces were responsible. "Casualty lists in U.S. newspapers would cause a helpful wave of indignation." Interesting to note that all of these military men are now dead, outlived by Robert S. McNamara, then Secretary of Defense who now conveniently has no recollection of the plan, which he himself describes as "CIA-type operations." I guess it would be OK in his mind if CIA undertook such deeds? Despite McNamara's claim, the Assistant Secretary of Defense, Paul H. Nitze, has stated he supported the strategy of provoking a phony war with Cuba. Even McNamara admits "I just cannot conceive of [Nitze] approving anything like that or doing it without talking to me." Thus we must conclude McNamara's memory is equipped with a built-in protective on/off switch, one impervious to Nitze's superior memory. The above plan was conceived and signed off by the highest levels of military leadership. They were obviously perfectly willing to allow Americans to die in simulated terrorist attacks in order to, in this case, support a phony invasion of Cuba. Looking back on history which has transpired between 1962, and now, virtually all of the events described have taken place. They need not have relevance to Cuba to deserve our concern, as long as they are either NORTHWOODS like in description, or if the actual result can be seen as beneficial to the interests of the military industrial complex. There are, by the way, other reports of similar plans before NORTHWOODS, one having to do with phony invasion from outer space, and another called the IRON MOUNTAIN REPORT of which it was claimed laid out a strategy strikingly like the World Trade Center Bombing well before the event. But NORTHWOODS is a smoking gun... We did have a phony invasion of Cuba, the Bay of Pigs, which led Castro to escalate by importing Soviet missiles, spawning not only the Cuban Missile crises, but also, a whole new arms struggle most profitable to military contractors. We did have sinking boatloads of Cubans, promoting in general the interests of military with respect to Cuba, and strengthening of American Naval forces in Guantanamo Bay. We did have, more recently, a US warship attacked by terrorists in the Middle East, and also more recently, two separate incidents where CIA passenger planes were shot down (one by Cuba, the other by Peru.) The benefits to military, if any, are not yet visible in these later instances, the ramifications not yet fully played out. In general, all of these matters have resulted in either new military spending or in legislation which Constitutionalists can easily describe as Draconian, which erode personal freedoms and enhance the military and intelligence communities opportunities to get away with what would earlier have been considered an illegal abuse of power. I suggest that in light of all these coincidental similarities to NORTHWOODS, we must start to examine any and all such tragedies more carefully. Are they always terrorist acts as reported, mere coincidence that they fit a NORTHWOODS style scenario, or are they actually NORTHWOOD-like operations being carried out? The answer is not totally obscured. We should be especially wary when superficial review of any such event offers any hint that government may not be telling the truth. In Oklahoma, virtually every aspect of what government tells us, and which an unquestioning media owned largely by military contractors reports as gospel, can be so challenged. Something is simply not right, here. The laws of physics, for instance, cannot be as claimed by government. But that issue will come later. In Bamford's footsteps, let us first look for proof that government may have been involved in the Oklahoma blast. Enter the so-called 'Bomb Factory' photograph, a label this report will likely confirm in your mind as accurate. There are too many facts to simply dismiss the possibility out of hand, perhaps because media has not deemed to tell you it is so. The Ryder Truck 'Bomb Factory' Images Made Public This affair is a great enigma. The anonymously supplied images shown here would, as claimed by the source, seem to potentially portray a secret bomb manufacturing facility for the bomb used on the Federal Building in Oklahoma City -- actually capturing the Ryder rental truck on film. The images were reportedly taken over the US Army base of Camp Gruber, Braggs Oklahoma, in early April of 1995, just prior to the explosion at the Murrah Building. There are reasons to consider this might be so -- just as there are reasons to be wary... The original image pair was posted in 1997 at <http://www.speedtrap.com/speedtrap>, which no longer offers the material (makes sense as the site has nothing to do with such matters.) The holder of the original images wished, at that time, to remain anonymous out of reasonable fear from harm. Subsequently, a second image was released through <http://members.aol.com/bardsquill/truck.htm>, a site which remains very active on topic and offers a significant collection of material, mostly opinions rather than evidential. I posted both images along with critical evaluation about a year later. Since then, the holder of the originals has come forward: Norio Hayakawa is an outspoken and controversial expert on Area 51 who has since retired and who has not personally promoted the images. He was affiliated with Ted L. Gunderson, a well known figure active in civilian investigations into the OK bombing, and it is likely that relationship which prompted release of the images. ......
