Operation Northwoods: The False Flag Op That Never Was

# Summary

In this episode, Josh and Chuck dive into Operation Northwoods, a deeply disturbing Cold War-era plan that shows just how far the U.S. military was willing to go to justify invading Cuba. After Castro took power in 1959 and aligned with the Soviets, American officials became obsessed with removing him—so obsessed that General Lyman Lemnitzer and the Joint Chiefs of Staff actually drafted a memo proposing false flag operations to trick the American public into supporting an invasion. The hosts walk through some of these jaw-dropping proposals, like sinking ships, staging fake airplane attacks, and even considering the use of fake Cuban uniforms to make it look like Cuba had attacked U.S. military installations.
