A Summary of Issues About the 9/11 Attacks
Past Examples of Government Sponsored Terrorism
updated December 20, 2007
The USS Liberty.
Throughout history, governments have been staging or facilitating attacks against themselves for the purpose of creating public support for being drawn into conflict. The United States has a long history of such behavior, nearly every major war it has fought had been brought about through the use of this tactic, including World War II and the Vietnam war.
This page details well known examples of such past behavior, including the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Operation Ajax, the Gulf of Tonkin incident, Operation Gladio, Cubana Flight 455, Operation Northwoods, and the attack on the ship U.S.S. Liberty.

Dead in the Water - The Sinking of the USS Liberty
running time: 1 hour 8 minutes |
Video - Dead in the Water: The Sinking of the USS Liberty
Description from the BBC Website:
"During the Six-Day War, Israel attacked and nearly sank the USS Liberty belonging to its closest ally, the USA. Thirty-four American servicemen were killed in the two-hour assault by Israeli warplanes and torpedo boats. Israel claimed that the whole affair had been a tragic accident based on mistaken identification of the ship. The American government accepted the explanation."
|
"For more than 30 years many people have disbelieved the official explanation but have been unable to rebut it convincingly. Now, Dead in the Water uses startling new evidence to reveal the truth behind the seemingly inexplicable attack. The film combines dramatic reconstruction of the events, with new access to former officers in the US and Israeli armed forces and intelligence services who have decided to give their own version of events."
"Interviews include President Lyndon Johnson's Secretary of Defence Robert McNamara, former head of the Israeli navy Admiral Shlomo Errell and members of the USS Liberty crew."

Day of Deceit: The Truth About FDR and Pearl Harbor
from the Wikipedia page about the book:
'Day Of Deceit: The Truth About FDR and Pearl Harbor is a book written by Robert Stinnett. First released in December 1999, the book is widely heralded as the most significant counter to the official story that the 1941 Attack on Pearl Harbor was a surprise. Richard Bernstein wrote in the New York Times on December 15, 1999 "it is difficult, after reading this copiously documented book, not to wonder about previously unchallenged assumptions about Pearl Harbor."'
".. It also speaks of foreknowledge of the attack by President Roosevelt and U.S. military officials. One of the issues is whether Admiral Kimmel and General Short were denied crucial U.S. military intelligence that tracked Japanese forces advancing on Hawaii."
|
"This question was answered in October 2000 during the presidency of Bill Clinton who signed into law, with the support of a bipartisan Congress, the National Defense Authorization Act that, among other provisions, reversed the findings of nine previous Pearl Harbor investigations and found that both Kimmel and Short were denied the crucial intelligence."
'Stinnett wrote: "Opinion polls in the summer of 1940 indicated that a majority of Americans did not want the country involved in Europe's war. Yet FDR's military and State Department leaders agreed that a victorious Nazi Germany would threaten the national security of the United States. They felt that Americans needed a call to action. Roosevelt believed that his countrymen would rally only to oppose an overt act of war on the United States. The decision he made, in concert with his advisors, was to provoke Japan through a series of actions into an overt act: the Pearl Harbor attack."'

Dr. Mohammad Mossadeq, Time Magazine's 'Man of the Year,'
Jan 7, 1952
|
Operation Ajax
"In 1953, the Central Intelligence Agency working in tandem with MI6 overthrew the democratically elected leader of Iran, Dr. Mohammad Mossadeq. Mossadeq had been educated in the West, was pro-America, and had driven Communist forces out of the North of his Country shortly after being elected in 1951. Mossadeq then nationalized the oil fields, and denied British Petroleum a monopoly."
"The CIA's own history department at CIA.GOV details how U.S. and British intelligence agents carried out terror attacks, and subsequently blamed them on Mossadeq."
"In the late 1990's, large sections of operation AJAX were declassified. The field commander of operation AJAX was none other than the grandson of President Theodore Roosevelt, Kermit Roosevelt. Before his death in 2000, Roosevelt went public to the media, bragging about his patriotism in carrying out terror attacks in Iran and blaming it on the government."
|
"The provocations included propaganda, demonstrations, bribery, agents of influence and false flag operations. They bombed the home of a prominent religious leader, and blamed it on Mossadeq. They attacked mosques, machine gunned crowds, and then handed out thousands of handbills claiming Mossadeq had done it. The handbills read 'Up With Mossadeq, Up With Communism, Down With Allah.' Dr. Mohammad Mossadeq was incarcerated for the duration of his life, and fared better than many of his ministers, who were executed just days after the successful coup for crimes that the MI6 and CIA had committed. The CIA then formed the dreaded Iranian secret Police, SAVAK, and a 25 year rein of terror and torture then commenced."
"The operation was seen by western intelligence agencies as a huge success. The CIA then successfully used the exact same technique in scores of countries to overthrow elected governments and dictators alike."

The Gulf of Tonkin Incident
"In the summer of 1964, President Lyndon Baines Johnson needed a pretext to commit the American people to the already expanding covert war in Southeast Asia. In November of 2001 the LBJ Presidential Library and museum released tapes of phone conversations with the president and then defense secretary Robert Macnemera, where they openly discussed plans to use the staged Gulf of Tonkin incident as a pretext to expand the war."
View a Wikipedia page on the subject here.
|
"Then in late 2005 the National Security Agency declassified it's own official history of the Gulf of Tonkin, and admitted that intelligence agency officers have deliberately skewed the intelligence and claimed that Vietnamese patrol boats have attacked US destroyers on August 4, 1964, when in reality they had done nothing, even while being fired upon by U.S. forces. Congress then authorized the Gulf of Tonkin resolution. The Tonkin Lie paved the way for over 58 thousand American deaths, and over a million and a half dead Vietnamese."

Operation Gladio
"Operation Gladio was an umbrella name for literally hundreds of bombings carried out by Western Intelligence agencies and NATO in Italy, Western Europe, the Middle East, Latin America and Asia. From 1947 to 1981, Italian Presidents have gone public admitting Operation Gladio targeted innocent civilians and was to be blamed on leftists and communists. On November, 22, 1990, The European Parliament had a resolution condemning the activities of Operation Gladio. The former Italian Intelligence Chief has come clean concerning Gladio's actions as well. Many other countries have declassified documents concerning Gladio."
|
"It is part of the public record that [the United States government] and other western governments targeted trains, busses, schools.. several times operatives zeroed in on school busses, knowing that images of dead children would get the population angry and ready to relinquish their liberties. A particularly bloody bombing at the central station of Bania, Italy in the morning of August 2, 1980, which killed 85 people and wounded more than 200, caused some officials to break their silence and begin to expose just a small part of this wicked operation."

CIA agent Luis Posada |
Cubana Flight 455
"On October 6, 1976, two time bombs made of C-4 planted on a Douglas DC-8 aircraft exploded, killing all 73 people on board, in the most deadly act of airline terrorism in the western hemisphere until September 11, 2001. The plane was carrying Olympic athletes from three countries, including gold medal winners from Cuba."
"Declassified FBI and CIA documents show the convicted bombers of the flight had been given U.S. visas just days before the attack, and they were in the employ of the U.S. Government."

Operation Northwoods
A well known example of past government sponsored terror is "Operation Northwoods," an official government plan from 1962 which called for terrorist attacks to be carried out against US citizens. The documents have been declassified in 1997 by the John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Review Board, and they are are in the National Archives.

Following is an excerpt from the Wikipedia page on the subject: "Operation Northwoods, which had the written approval of the Chairman and every member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, called for innocent people to be shot on American streets; for boats carrying refugees fleeing Cuba to be sunk on the high seas; for a wave of violent terrorism to be launched in Washington, D.C., Miami, and elsewhere. People would be framed for bombings they did not commit; planes would be hijacked. Using phony evidence, all of it would be blamed on Castro, thus giving Lemnitzer and his cabal the excuse, as well as the public and international backing, they needed to launch their war."
