Re: Uncle Sam & Auntie Semite Planning a False Flag?
False flag operations are covert operations conducted by governments, which are designed to deceive the public in such a way that the operations appear as if they are being carried out by an enemy.
Basically, it is a way for governments to 'play victim' in order to mask their own aggression.
History is replete with such operations, but it's getting harder and harder to conduct false flag operations because they've run the play over and over again.People are paying more attention now, and we've seen it all before.

Rich,
This is Edward Lansdale, former US Major General and CIA operative. He was instrumental in the overthrow of governments of the Philippines, Guatemala (1950s) and was active in Vietnam.
<span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-size: 11pt">As a former advertising man</span></span> he was always coming up with ideas. In my case it's to sell products. In his, it was for use as psychological warfare tools against the opposition.
Lansdale was often both coordinator and ideas man although, according to CIA man Thomas Powers, "Nutty ideas sometimes seemed to strike him as imaginative and plausible."
One such idea was to exploit the notion that the average Cuban is religious/superstitious.
The brief: How to get rid of Castro.
Lansdale's idea: Cuba was to be flooded with rumours (through the media) that the Second Coming was imminent, that Christ had chosen Cuba for His arrival, and that He wanted Cubans to act to get rid of the communist Castro first. Then, on the night foretold, a US submarine would surface off the coast of Cuba and litter the sky with star shells, which would convince the Cubans that The Hour was at hand and they would act to kill Castro.
Lansdale's idea was not pursued. I think it's because the CIA guessed it wouldn't be believed!
