Chilling documents recently declassified by the Pentagon have shed light on a deeply disturbing chapter in U.S. history—one that could explain why certain powerful figures were desperate to keep the files related to John F. Kennedy’s assassination under wraps.
Among these documents is a 12-page report from 1962, prepared by the Joint Chiefs of Staff, detailing a secret plan code-named Operation Northwoods.
This covert operation proposed committing heinous acts of terrorism on American soil, all as part of a deceptive scheme to justify military intervention against Cuba.
The idea behind Operation Northwoods was to stage violent incidents in U.S. cities, blame Cuba, and rally public support for a war against Fidel Castro’s communist regime.
The report outlines terrifying scenarios, including the suggestion to stage attacks in places like Miami, Washington, D.C., and other cities, making it appear as if Cuba was behind the attacks.
The plan even recommended killing U.S. soldiers and sinking American ships, all with the goal of inciting national outrage that would push the American public into supporting war efforts.
JFK’s Rejection of Operation Northwoods
President John F. Kennedy is said to have rejected the proposal when it reached his desk, potentially because of his reluctance to escalate violence in such a manipulative manner.
This rejection would later contribute to a series of events that would shake the world—Kennedy’s assassination.
Conspiracy theorists often claim that JFK’s refusal to approve such plans and his changing stance on Cuba made him a target of powerful interests, including those within the alleged “Deep State.”
The assassination of JFK remains a source of intrigue and speculation, with some conspiracy theorists suggesting that Israel, allegedly backed by those in the “Deep State,” was involved.
While this theory remains controversial, the release of new documents has reignited discussions about the forces operating behind the scenes during the 1960s.
Trump’s Promise to Expose the Truth
In a related development, former President Donald Trump has promised to release all classified files related to JFK’s assassination.
This vow to uncover the full truth behind JFK’s death and the U.S. government’s actions during the Cold War has raised anticipation of even more shocking revelations.
Trump has long criticized the “Deep State”—a term he uses to describe a shadowy network of powerful individuals within government agencies who allegedly influence policy decisions beyond the control of elected officials.
Trump’s commitment to “draining the swamp” and exposing the actions of the intelligence community is seen by many as a continued effort to challenge the influence of these so-called shadowy figures in American politics.
As he seeks to address what he sees as corruption within the intelligence community, Trump’s promise to release all related documents could bring further clarity to a dark period of U.S. history.
The Context Behind Operation Northwoods and the Cold War
The Operation Northwoods proposal was part of a broader effort to take aggressive action against Fidel Castro’s Cuba.
In the early 1960s, Castro had strengthened ties with the Soviet Union, which escalated tensions between the U.S. and Cuba.
In 1961, the U.S. government, under President Dwight D. Eisenhower, authorized the Bay of Pigs Invasion, an unsuccessful attempt to overthrow Castro’s government using a group of CIA-backed Cuban exiles.
In 1962, tensions reached a peak during the Cuban Missile Crisis, when the Soviet Union began placing nuclear missiles on Cuban soil.
The U.S. responded with covert operations, including Operation Mongoose, a secret CIA initiative aimed at removing Castro from power.
It was during this period that Operation Northwoods was conceived.
Secrecy and Shocking Revelations
The Operation Northwoods documents remained classified for nearly 40 years, hidden from the public until 2001 when a nearly-complete version was made available online.
These newly released documents confirm the lengths to which the U.S. government was willing to go in its efforts to confront Castro’s regime, including the possibility of false flag operations and the manipulation of public sentiment.
The revelations surrounding Operation Northwoods have added new layers of complexity to the ongoing debate about JFK’s assassination and the Cold War.
As more documents are expected to be released, the truth behind these historical events may soon be uncovered, leaving the American public to reevaluate the actions of their government during one of the most turbulent times in modern history.
