His first words after stepping on the moon, "that's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind," were televised to earth and heard by millions.

"Loose Change" cannot rebut any of these FACTS and instead hides behind conspiracy theories, smoke and mirrors...just like the DNC.  Surprise, Surprise.

  OF COURSE YOU DIDN'T KNOW . .   WHY ?

THE LIBERAL MEDIA DOES NOT REPORT THE TRUTH!

 Instead of reflecting our love for our country, we get photos of flag burning incidents at Abu Ghraib and people throwing snowballs at the presidential motorcades.

  The lack of accentuating the positive in Iraq serves two purposes. It is intended to undermine the world's perception of the United States, thus minimizing conse! quentia l support, and it is intended to discourage American citizens.

  *** All of the above facts are verifiable HERE
 

Here is a soldier who knows what he is fighting for, who he is fighting for and who is squirking responsibility.  Anyone claiming to be a liberal should spend a little quality time in Iraq and see the TRUTH.

lefties lie.  They don't want to know the truth.  They have no original ideas.

ever wonder what bin laden is up to while hiding out in the caves?  One of his "friends" gave Barry G. this astounding story:

Stuart Taylor, arms extended in a warrior-like stance, is naked as the day he was born in front of a room full of strangers. His nightmare? Hardly.

He was born 85 years ago.

''It's hard work to stand still doing all those poses,'' said Taylor, a Coconut Grove, Fla., resident. “Sometimes I get myself in trouble for getting in positions I shouldn't get into.''  "Somehow I posed once for Osama and since then he has me booked every day and not just for modeling if you catch my drift, but what the heck I'm old and he pays well."

Indeed.

Taylor has been stripping down for artistic scrutiny for quite a while, The Miami Herald reports.

It all started in 1947 when he was a starving student at the University of Wisconsin looking for a quick way to pick up some extra dough.

But Taylor’s foray into the realm of the perpetually pants-less really began when he forgot to bring his jock strap to class one day.

"I told the instructor: 'I'll need to model nude for you.' He was upset and gave me a towel,'' Taylor said.

As fate would have it, the towel couldn’t keep Taylor under wraps, and nudity became his claim to fame.

Taylor visits nude beaches, has taken a nude cruise and has even been on a naked rafting trip in Utah.

''To be nude, there's this feeling of freedom,'' Taylor said. "I'm not an exhibitionist, I just enjoy nudity.''

And Taylor insists that chilling in one’s birthday suit for the benefit of art isn’t for everybody — it takes a certain frame of mind to properly bare one's behind.

''It's about pride,'' Taylor said. “If I have an itch or something and I want to scratch, I'd tell myself: 'Show a little discipline, Taylor.'”

BRISTOW, Okla. — Serving on the jury in an indecent-exposure trial unfolding in this conservative Oklahoma town has been a giggle-inducing experience.

Over the past few days, the jurors have watched a defense attorney and a prosecutor pantomime masturbation. A doctor has lectured on the lengths the defendant was willing to go to enhance his sexual performance.

A white-handled sexual device sits before the jury box for hours at a time. Occasionally an attorney picks it up and squeezes the handle, demonstrating the "sh-sh" sound of air rushing through the contraption's plastic tubing.

The jurors sometimes exchange awkward looks and break into nervous laughter when the testimony takes a lurid turn.

Former Judge Donald D. Thompson, a veteran of 23 years on the bench, is on trial on charges he used a penis pump on himself in the courtroom while sitting in judgment of others.

Thompson, 59, is charged with four counts of indecent exposure, each punishable by up to 10 years in prison. If convicted, he would also have to register as a sex offender, and his $7,489-a-month pension would be in jeopardy.

Thompson's former court reporter, Lisa Foster, wiped away tears as she described tracing an unfamiliar "sh-sh" in the courtroom to her boss. She testified that between 2001 and 2003 she saw Thompson expose himself at least 15 times.

"I was really shocked and I was kind of scared because it was so bizarre," said Foster.

She testified that during a trial in 2002, she heard the pump during the emotional testimony of a murdered toddler's grandfather.

The grandfather "was getting real teary-eyed, and the judge was up there pumping on that pump," she said. "It was sickening."

The allegations came to light after a police officer who was in Thompson's court heard pumping sounds and took photos of the device during a break in the proceedings.

Thompson took the stand in his own defense, saying the device was a gag gift from a longtime friend with whom he had joked about erectile dysfunction. He said he kept the pump under the bench or in his office but did not use it.

"In 20-20 hindsight, I should have thrown it away," he said.

The R-rated testimony has produced occasional outbursts of laughter and surreal scenes. A man who once served as a juror in Thompson's court testified that he never saw the device, but figured out what it was based on movies he had seen.

The comment sent sidelong glances through the courtroom.

"It sounded like a penis pump to me," Daniel Greenwood  (gee whiz, I wonder how he knew?, testified. He said he had seen such devices in "Austin Powers" and "Dead Man on Campus, in his car, desk, locker, office, kitchen, etc.  "I don't know how they got there?''  Credit card receipts have revealed that Greenwood purchase 175 pumps in the last year.  When confronted with this evidence, Greenwood said, "I just didn't want to take the chance of being without one if I needed it.

Dr. S. Edward Dakil, a urologist called as an expert witness, repeatedly prompted laughter from the jury when discussion turned to the penis pump. Dakil defended use of the device after defense attorney Clark Brewster said it was an out-of-date treatment for erectile dysfunction.

"I still use those," Dakil testified.

Brewster paused.

"Not you, personally?" he asked.

"No," Dakil responded as jurors laughed. "I recommend those as a urologist."

Randi Rhodes made a comment that is outrageous even for Air America.

She said that Bush didn't care about helping the people in New Orleans and that he gets joy out of the people dying, because they are Democrat voters!

"This President is never gonna do the right thing. I think somewhere deep down inside him he takes a lot of joy about losing people, if he thinks they vote Democrat or if he thinks they're poor, or if he thinks they're in a blue state, whatever his reasons are not to rescue those people who are (planning?) for their safety."

Even better, Rachel, why don't you explain how you have any moral authority to criticize Bush, or anyone else, while you've sat silent for over a month on the sleazy scandal affecting your company.

It was the one where $875,000 in taxpayer funding meant for a Bronx-based community center apparently went to your network's coffers.

I'm sure you've heard about it by now, haven't you, Rachel?

One of the  hosts on the unofficial radio network of the Democratic Party recommended in an apparent "joke" earlier this week that President Bush should be assassinated, reports the New York Daily News. Comparing Bush and his family to the Corleones of "Godfather" fame, Air America host Randi Rhodes reportedly unleashed this zinger during her Monday night broadcast: "Like Fredo, somebody ought to take him out fishing and phuw. " Rhodes then imitated the sound of a gunshot.

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — A Corpus Christi woman says she got something horrifying in the mail.

Corpus Christi police say the woman reports her ex-boyfriend mailed her a severed human finger.

Police haven't released the identities.

Police Captain John Houston says police aren't sure which finger was removed or how it was removed, but that the finger appeared to have been cleanly severed and washed.

No wonder the guy is a nut job.  He lost quite a woman.  She is sending the finger back in her own special way.

Police said a letter was enclosed, stating -- quote -- "This is the last chance to touch you."

The 32-year-old woman filed for an emergency protective order from the 34-year-old man last week before receiving the package. Police say the man moved to the Houston suburb Spring last week and hasn't been located.

Ezra Pound was jailed for less treasonous behavior than what the New York Times is getting away with.

NEW YORK TIMES MASTHEAD

WASHINGTON - President Bush on Monday sharply condemned the disclosure of a program to secretly monitor the financial transactions of suspected terrorists. “The disclosure of this program is disgraceful,” he said.

The program has been going on since shortly after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. It was disclosed last week by the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal and the Los Angeles Times.

“For people to leak that program and for a newspaper to publish it does great harm to the United States of America,” Bush said, jabbing his finger for emphasis. He said the disclosure of the program “makes it harder to win this war on terror.”

Vice President Cheney echoed the president's comments. Cheney, speaking at a fund-raiser for a congressional candidate in Grand Island, Neb., called the leaks to the newspapers and the subsequent stories “very damaging. The ability to intercept al-Qaida communications and to track their sources of financing are essential if were going to successfully prosecute the global war on terror.”

“What is doubly disturbing for me is, not only have they gone forward with these stories but they've been rewarded for it, for example in the case of the terrorists surveillance program by being awarded the Pulitzer Prize for outstanding journalism. i think that is a disgrace,” Cheney said.

A blind man enters a lesbian bar by mistake.   He finds his way to a barstool and orders a drink. After sitting there

for a while, he yells to the bartender, "Hey, you wanna hear a blonde joke?"   The bar immediately falls absolutely

quiet.   In a very deep, husky voice, the woman next to him says, "Before you tell that joke, sir, I think it is only fair - given that you are blind - that you should know five things:  1 - The bartender is a blonde girl.  2 - The bouncer is a blonde girl.  3 - I'm a 6 feet tall, 160 LB. blonde woman with a black belt in karate.  4 - The woman sitting next to me is blonde and is a professional  weightlifter.  5 - The lady to your right is a blonde and is a professional wrestler.

Now think about it seriously, Mister. Do you still wanna tell that joke?"   

The blind man thinks for a second, shakes his head and declares: "Nah.   Not if I'm gonna have to explain it five times.

I have curiously watched the discussions between fill in the blank and someone named "Baffled" over the last few days.  About an hour ago, I saw on the new comments list, a very well written comment by Baffled in response to the usual millardo name calling never answering a question rhetoric.  Baffled quoted a number of hurtful name calling diatribes written by fill in the blank and politely asked that future conversations be conducted in a polite fashion and be limited to "the issues at hand". 

A few minutes ago, I took a look at the recent comments list and to my surprise saw that fill in the blank had deleted Baffled's well written civil comment.  lastword fill in the blank....how do people at the INS work with her?  I thought President Bush was the "decider".   Therefor as a government employee one would think lastword fill in the blank would leave the deciding up to the President.  But nooooooooooooooo.  Not a surprise.

WASHINGTON — The U.S. population is on target to hit 300 million this fall and it is a good bet the milestone baby — or immigrant — will be Hispanic.

No one will know for sure because the date and time will be just an estimate.

The 300 millionth person in the U.S. will likely be born — or cross the border — in October, though bureau officials are wary of committing to a particular month because of the subjective nature of the clock.

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip  — Israeli forces swept into southern Gaza under the cover of darkness early Saturday, rounding up two Palestinian militants in the first arrest raid in the coastal strip since Israel withdrew from the area last year.

The Israeli army said the two Hamas members were planning a large attack against Israel in the near future. No shots were fired, and the troops withdrew from the area immediately after the pinpoint operation, the army said.

I have been carefully considering who I would endorse in the 2008 Presidential Election.  There is not a candidate in either party whose resume and record come close to comparing with that of Secretary Rice.  A Presidential Election is not a prom king and queen vote of popularity.  The United States President assumes responsibilities that the average American can only begin to fathom.  Please join me in supporting the best qualified candidate and stop Hillary Clinton in her pumps.

Imagine if just once, the ACLU would use honest speech rather than hide behind the term free speech to  push their political agenda.  Why don't they just admit it like the DNC.

A federal audit on the spending proclivities of people who were issued debit cards by FEMA during the Katrina disaster indicates that some of them were swimming in champagne – and good stuff, too.

Among the survival rations that were purchased, we find a $200 bottle of champagne, used as a life-saving device at the hurricane shelter known as Hooters. The establishment, upon hearing of the purchase, has nobly agreed to refund the amount to FEMA.

Other items that emergency cards were used to purchase are the following:

A flotation device of questionable effect, called diamond jewelry.

An escape route from the rising waters to a vacation in the Dominican Republic.

Salvation from a divorce lawyer by paying off a $1,000 legal bill.

Drying out at a strip club, where the recuperative process required $600.

Recuperation with $400 of “adult erotica products.”

The auditors concluded that such purchases were "not necessary to satisfy legitimate disaster needs."

Greg Kutz, a GAO forensic auditor, said one "fraudster" way up in West Virginia received a rental assistance check by using the address of a cemetery in New Orleans.

Another application, employing a vacant lot as an address, found favor in FEMA for a payment of $2,358 in rental assistance.

The relief organization also paid $8,000 and then $5,000 more, in a double-dip into rental assistance, to help a long-suffering recipient survive at a resort hotel in Honolulu.

The GAO also found that FEMA lost track of 750 debit cards, worth a total of $1.5 million.

As a result of the debit-card debacle, FEMA itself has been scheduled to receive federal disaster relief.

DUBAI (Reuters) - Al Qaeda's second-in-command vowed vengeance against the United States for the death of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the leader of al Qaeda in Iraq killed in a U.S. air strike two weeks ago.

"Yes (George W.) Bush, there isn't a single person who'll be killed that we won't get vengeance for, God willing," Ayman al-Zawahri said in comments addressed to the U.S. president on a videotape aired by al Jazeera television on Friday.

"Do you remember, Bush, the mujahid Osama bin Laden's vow that America will not dream of security until we experience it in Palestine?"

Zawahri hailed Zarqawi as a martyr and attacked Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, saying, "he traded the name of Islam to get to the seat of power". He also blasted U.S. Ambassador to Iraq Zalmay Khalilzad, calling him an "Afghan infidel".

A U.S. counterterrorism official said there was no reason to doubt the authenticity of the videotape, which he said was the eighth Zawahri had released since January 2006.

Speaking on condition of anonymity, he described Zawahri's direct addresses to Bush as "jihadist bravado".

"It's part of their ongoing propaganda campaign to appear relevant by commenting on current topics," the official said.

How is the media going to spin this one?  Just wait....the democrats will deny this later.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- U.S. Vice-President Dick Cheney has played down calls for a pre-emptive military strike to destroy a potential North Korean missile launch site.

  The man is a pussycat.

Fears have grown in recent weeks following reports of activity at a site in northeastern North Korea where U.S. officials say a Taepodong-2 missile -- believed capable of reaching parts of the United States -- is possibly being fueled.

An op-ed piece in Thursday's Washington Post by William Perry, secretary of defense under former President Bill Clinton, and Ashton Carter, Clinton's assistant secretary of defense, advocates a pre-emptive strike to destroy the missile.

"The United States should immediately make clear its intention to strike and destroy the North Korean Taepodong missile before it can be launched," it said.

Cheney, however, told CNN that, while "I appreciate Bill's advice," such an action could worsen the situation.

"I think, at this stage, we are addressing the issue in the proper fashion ... obviously, if you are going to launch strikes at another nation, you better be prepared to not fire just one shot. The fact of the matter is, I think, the issue is being addressed appropriately."

A friend of mine suggested this restaurant and I loved it:

BANGKOK (Reuters) - Buddhist monks in Thailand are too tired to receive early morning alms because they are staying up late to watch the World Cup, a Thai newspaper reported on Wednesday.

The Nation quoted a woman in the northern city of Chiang Mai who said her birthday celebrations were ruined because monks at a city temple were not awake to receive her morning offering, a mandatory religious ritual in the predominately Buddhist country.

The woman, who declined to be identified, said she was told by a senior monk that most of his young colleagues were still asleep because they had stayed up to watch the games which can go on well past midnight.

The Sangha Council, which oversees the tens of thousands of Buddhist temples in Thailand, has not banned monks from watching the World Cup but said it should not interfere with religious activities.

Chiang Mai chief monk Phra Thep Wisuthikhun said he had received complaints about "inappropriate behavior" at seven temples in the province. "It is the duty of the abbot of each temple to supervise the behavior of young monks, making sure that their religious activities will not be affected by the games," he told Reuters.

In neighboring Cambodia, some 40,000 monks have been warned they could be defrocked if they became too excited while watching the games.

"If they make noise or cheer as they watch, they will lose their monkhood," Phnom Penh patriarch Non Nget told Reuters this month.

Interestingly this all occured at a MINIMUM security federal prison...like where Hillary will go when she is finally indicted.

(CNN) -- A deadly gunbattle broke out at a federal prison Wednesday when a corrections officer opened fire as federal agents tried to arrest him and other guards on charges they traded drugs for sex, officials in Tallahassee, Florida, said.

A federal agent and the gunman were killed in the ensuing shootout, and a Bureau of Prisons official was wounded.

A grand jury on Tuesday indicted six guards at Federal Correctional Institution Tallahassee on charges including exchanging contraband and money for sex with female inmates, and attempting to keep inmates silent through bribes and intimidation. A copy of the indictment was obtained by CNN. (Indictment tells of sex, favors and power)

As federal agents were serving arrest warrants on the six, guard Ralph Hill began shooting, authorities said.

Federal agents returned fire, killing Hill, according to Jeff Westcott, spokesman for the FBI's Jacksonville office. An agent with the Office of Inspector General died, he said. (Watch what may have prompted the gunfight -- 1:48)

In the indictment, the six guards were identified as Hill, Alfred Barnes, Gregory Dixon, Vincent Johnson, Alan Moore and E. Lavon Spence.

All of the indicted guards were at the facility at the time of the shooting, about 7:45 a.m., authorities said.

The other five guards were arrested without incident in other areas of the facility, the FBI said. They pleaded not guilty to the charges Wednesday during a brief arraignment in federal court in Tallahassee, said Allen Sprowls, spokesman for the U.S. attorney's office in Tallahassee. They will make a second appearance at a detention hearing Thursday, where a federal magistrate will hear arguments on whether they should receive bond.

The indictment alleges that during the past three years, "defendants would and did bring in contraband to FCI Tallahassee to sell and to use as payment in exchange for sexual contact" with the inmates. The contraband could have included drugs, alcohol and money, the indictment said.

The guards also received money from inmates, their family members and their associates in exchange for contraband, the indictment said. The contraband allegedly was hidden in various locations within the facility accessible to inmates.

According to the indictment, at least one federal agent went undercover at the prison. The indictment states that, at Barnes' urging, the undercover agent mailed a $600 money order to purchase contraband.

Barnes allegedly called the undercover agent's cell phone to discuss delivery of the contraband, and Johnson passed on a message to an inmate on Barnes' behalf, the indictment charges.

Drugs were also used to bribe inmates to keep silent about what was going on, and guards threatened to ship inmates to other facilities farther from their families, the court document said.

The guards allegedly monitored inmates' phone calls "for the purpose of intimidating and identifying inmates who were disclosing criminal conduct to other persons," the indictment said. In addition, some guards showed inmates the Bureau of Prisons' computer system to demonstrate how easily inmates could be tracked within the federal prison system.

Under the scheme, the six defendants switched duty assignments to facilitate the illegal contacts with inmates. Other inmates were allegedly used as "lookouts."

The area where the shooting took place was not accessible to inmates, authorities said. The facility was placed on lockdown after the incident.

Uecker filed a temporary restraining order against Ann E. Ladd, of Prospect Heights, Ill., earlier this month in Milwaukee County Circuit Court. A hearing was scheduled for June 15, but court records show the defendant had not been served with papers. The case was rescheduled for July 3.

Uecker, the voice of the Milwaukee Brewers for more than 35 years, said the 45-year-old Ladd had been bothering him for six or seven years by sending unsolicited gifts, driving around his home in Wisconsin and contacting him in various cities.

Uecker said Ladd confronted him in late May at a hotel pool in Pittsburgh over his refusal to assist her charity work.  Say ain't so Bob!

"In the past year, however, Ladd's pattern of harassment has escalated in frequency and intensity, and has resulted in repeated and serious invasions of my personal privacy," he said in the filings.

What a load of crap this attempt to literally rewrite history this is.

What Is This

As everyone and their grandma knows, the world views time based on the birth of Jesus Christ--even the atheist. Every time someone writes or speaks or thinks the year, they acknowledge that Jesus Christ came in the flesh. No "scholar" denies that He came--that's why they counter His divinity with the "Historical Jesus" who is a figure of their collective imagination. When I say the year 1998, I am basically saying that this one thousand, nine hundred and ninety-eight years after the birth of Jesus Christ. It is 1998 A.D. A.D. stands for "Anno Domini" which is Latin for, "in the year of the Lord". Everybody acknowledges that Jesus Christ is the Lord! When we look at the time period before the birth of Christ, we call it B.C. which stands for "Before Christ".

Now, what exactly is this C.E./B.C.E. business? About five years ago, I was reading my Jews for Jesus (real Christians love the Jewish people) magazine when I came across an article using C.E./B.C.E. for the dates. For instance, the author may have used 1948 C.E. instead of 1948 A.D. I found out that C.E. is supposed to take the place of A.D. C.E. stands for Common Era! See how it takes "the year of our Lord" right out of the picture with the stroke of a pen?! B.C.E., of course, stands for Before Common Era. Now...when I go to my dictionary it tells me that Common Era is the same as Christian Era--no it's not. But not even the term "Christian Era" is adequate for it does not acknowledge the Lordship of Jesus Christ. "Christian Era" sounds like a bunch of people got together to form "Christianity" when in reality Jesus Christ came as the fulfilment of the ancient Jewish prophesies. "Christianity" is not a new religion, it is fulfilment of the promises made to Abraham.

The Common Era business is a not-so-sneaky way to tell time without acknowledging Jesus Christ at all. And silly people tell me Satan ain't real. He sure does inspire! Who would sit around thinking about stuff as basic as the way we calculate time? The beast is coming and he is attempting to erase all reference to Jesus Christ.

Anyway, I wrote to Jews for Jesus about the author's use of C.E./B.C.E. and was told that some Jewish people don't understand A.D. and B.C. I do not believe that this is true. There may be some unbelieving Jewish people that resent A.D. and B.C. because they DO KNOW what they mean. Even if a person didn't know, there is a such thing as a dictionary. The Jews for Jesus representative did say, however, that they wouldn't use the "Common Era" nomenclature anymore.

A little time after the Jews for Jesus incident, I went to see the Dead Sea Scrolls. In the captions next to the exhibits, guess what they used? I think you've got it old chap--Common Era (C.E.) and Before Common Era (B.C.E.). I've also seen this other places. Christian friend, I encourage you to continue the use of A.D. and B.C. for these are good and true designations for how we look at time. Let us not deny the Lordship of Jesus Christ by using the Common Era business--REGARDLESS OF WHAT THE WICKED SAY OR THINK.

[edit] 1800 [edit] 1810 to 1850 the Underground Railroad The Underground Railroad was a network of clandestine routes by which African slaves in the United States escaped to freedom, with the aid of abolitionists. It consisted of clandestine routes, transportation, meeting points, and safe houses maintained by sympathizers. These individuals were organized into small groups who, for the purpose of maintaining secrecy, knew only of connecting "stations" along the route.

[edit] 1894 The Dreyfus affair In 1894 Alfred Dreyfus, a Jewish artillery officer in the French army, was convicted of treason. Dreyfus was innocent; the conviction rested on false documents, and when officials realised this they attempted a cover up. The writer Émile Zola exposed the affair.

It was first brought to wide public attention by the U.S. Congress (in the form of the Church Committee) and a presidential commission (known as the Rockefeller Commission) (see Revelation below) and also to the U.S. Senate. [edit] 1953 Operation Midnight Climax Operation Midnight Climax was an operation initially established by Dr. George Hunter White under the alias of Morgan Hall for the CIA. The project consisted of a web of CIA run brothels in San Francisco and New York. It was established in order to study the effects of LSD on unconsenting individuals after the supply of consenting patients ran out.

[edit] 1961 Bay of Pigs invasion Cuban expatriates backed by the U.S. government attempted to invade Cuba at Cuba's Bay of Pigs in the Bay of Pigs invasion of April 1961. The invasion failed because U.S. president John F. Kennedy left the invaders stranded for fear of U.S. government complicity in the invasion becoming exposed. The expected urban revolt that was to have been occurred collapsed when it became clear Brigade 2506 had been abandoned to its fate; and because the Soviet Union warned Castro, who ordered numerous executions and preemptive mass arrests of those thought likely to support a counter-revolution. [edit] 1961 The Cuban Project The Cuban Project, also known as "Operation Mongoose" is the general name for CIA covert operations and plans initiated by President John F. Kennedy on November 30, 1961 which authorized aggressive covert terrorist operations against Communism in the Cuban Republic, including several assassination attempts against the Cuban head of state, Fidel Castro. The operation was led by Air Force General Edward Lansdale and came into being after the failed Bay of Pigs invasion. The goal of The Cuban Project was to "help Cuba overthrow the Communist regime", overthrow its leader Fidel Castro, and aim "for a revolt which can take place in Cuba by October 1962". See also, "Operation Northwoods", proposed by the Joint Chiefs of Staff, which included terrorist actions against targets in the U.S. that were to be blamed on Cuba ("false flag" operations), which was never carried out. [edit] 1962 Operation Northwoods Operation Northwoods or Northwoods was the code name for various proposals for false flag actions, including domestic terror attacks on U.S. soil, proposed in 1962 by senior U.S. Department of Defense leaders to generate U.S. public support for military action against Cuba.
