US GOVERNMENT PLANNED SNIPER ATTACKS 

PENTAGON PLANNED TO CARRY OUT SNIPER ATTACKS IN DC AND MIAMI  

On April 24, 2001 the Baltimore Sun and ABC News reported on 
a shocking, declassified Pentagon document, titled Operation 
Northwoods.

In Operation Northwoods the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff 
called for hijacking jet airliners, attacking US military bases, 
blowing up US ships and wounding civilians in Miami, Florida and 
Washington, DC using paramilitary sniper teams.

Page eight of the formerly Top Secret Pentagon plan stated that 
"casualty lists in US Newspapers would cause a helpful wave of 
national indignation." The opening paragraph in the Baltimore Sun 
read "US leaders proposed in '62 a secret plan to commit terrorist 
acts against Americans and blame Cuba to create a pretext for invasion."

The Northwoods Document spells out the US Government's plan to 
frame innocent people for the shootings and bombings that the US 
Government was preparing to commit.  

Page 9 of the Northwoods Document states that after the Government 
carried out shootings and bombings in Washington DC that "the arrest 
of Cuban agents and the release of prepared documents substantiating 
Cuban involvement also would be helpful in projecting the idea of an 
irresponsible government."  

Now in 2002 they're telling us that they think that they have the two 
men responsible for the sniper shootings in DC. Can the government be 
trusted?  

Forty years after the Northwoods plan was rejected by John F. 
Kennedy, we see striking similarities between the sniper attacks 
and the terrorist activities called for in the Northwoods plan.

Whereas the Northwoods document planned to create a pretext for 
war with Cuba, the sniper attacks are being used as a pretext to 
put military on the streets of America and to push for gun control.

Now, White House officials are saying that there's a good chance 
that al-Qaeda or Iraq are behind the sniper attacks and are warning 
the American people to look for similar attacks in other cities, thus 
creating a timely pretext justifyinga military action to capture Middle 
Eastern and Central Asian oil supplies in a war with Iraq.  

On his Nationally Syndicated Radio Show, Documentary Filmmaker 
Alex Jones has consulted with many law enforcement and military 
experts, including Colonel Craig Roberts (formerly of US Army 
Intelligence, a former Marine Corps Sniper and the Best-selling 
Author of One Shot One Kill) who stated on-air that this operation 
could only be State-sponsored and was clearly the work of a rogue 
element from the top levels of global intelligence agencies.

On The Alex Jones Show, Roberts said that the MO of the sniper 
attacks are indicative of a 2-3 man team trained in the Special 
Forces ambush tactics of reconnaissance, insertion, concealment 
and successful evasion.

According to Jones' research, the sniper teamAEs attack profile 
is consistent with US Special Forces ambush assassination tactics. 
Best-selling Doubleday Author James Bamford, who broke the Northwoods 
Story in His Book, Body of Secrets reported on page 82 that, "the plan, 
which had been written with the approval of the Chairman and every 
member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff called for innocent people to be 
shot on American Streets."  

Says Jones, "In Operation Northwoods, we have a declassified US 
Government document, approved right up to the President, that 
advocates carrying out terrorism against the American people 
to terrify them into accepting tyranny. It is now public knowledge 
that Roosevelt allowed the Japanese to attack Pearl Harbor as a 
pretext for war and that the Gulf of Tonkin attack that launched 
the Vietnam War was staged by LBJ. This is all now admitted historical 
fact, and there is no way to ignore the US government terror plan 
contained in the Northwoods document. The plan even lists the 
cities to be targeted, and one of them is DC."

The national media from day one told us that the sniper was a lone 
gunman. Now politicians are telling us that we must give up our 
liberties for security, Senator Charles Schumer wants to ban so-called 
assault rifles and to institute ballistic fingerprinting on all guns 
as well as on ammunition, the new North American Military Command 
(NORTHCOM) that was activated October 1, 2002 has been provided 
with a mission on the ground and in the air over America just weeks 
after the White House told us that we needed to get rid of Posse 
Comitatus (Federal law prohibiting US military forces in search in 
seizure operations of US soil) for our "safety."

Now the Washington Post is reporting that the CIA will be directing 
local FBI field offices in 56 US cities. Vice President Cheney has 
pubicly threatened Congress not to investigate the 911-Government 
prior knowledge story. He cryptically made the statement on Meet 
the Press that Congressional investigations would only cause a larger 
terrorist attack.  

"There's no doubt about it," says Jones "the US Government is the 
number one suspect in the sniper attacks."  

It is absolutely vital that outlets reading this press release take 
some time out and go to Alex Jones' website, www.infowars.com. Jones 
has an extensive archive containing mainstream media reports proving 
the claims of this release.
