This episode reveals how declassified documents proved that top Pentagon officials proposed orchestrating false flag attacks on American soil to justify war with Cuba. The hosts examine the 1962 Joint Chiefs of Staff memorandum detailing plans for staged terrorist attacks, the role of General Lemnitzer, and how President Kennedy's rejection of the proposal kept it hidden for decades. We explore how this revelation changed our understanding of military planning during the Cold War and its implications for evaluating government proposals during times of conflict.
