"For all I know, our Navy was shooting at whales out there," quipped LBJ about the imaginary act of North Vietnamese boats supposedly attacking U.S. ships, leading to the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution and undeclared war in Southeast Asia, ultimately resulting in the death of nearly 60,000 Americans and around 3 million Southeast Asians. <br />In an exclusive Think Progress story, we learn the meeting took place in Cheney's office and the subject on the table was "how to create a casus belli between Tehran and Washington," part of an ongoing effort to provide an excuse to attack Iran. "There was a dozen ideas proffered about how to trigger a war," Hersh explains. "The one that interested me the most was why don't we build — we in our shipyard — build four or five boats that look like Iranian PT boats. Put Navy seals on them with a lot of arms. And next time one of our boats goes to the Straits of Hormuz, start a shoot-up." <br />Hersh would have us believe this scenario did not play out because "you can't have Americans killing Americans," an absurd explanation considering the fact the attacks of September 11 were just that — "Americans killing Americans," a calculated and cold-blooded act of mass murder carried out by elements in the U.S. government as a "new Pearl Harbor," a cynical pretext to launch the "war on terror," now grinding into its seventh year. <br />Ominously, these "ideas" hark back to Operation Northwoods, the JSC plan to stage a false flag terror event — or a number of events — designed to provide a pretext to invade Cuba and take out Fidel Castro. Such "ideas" included "friendly Cubans" attacking the U.S. base at Guantanamo, shooting down a drone disguised as a chartered civil airliner and blaming it on Cuba, inciting riots and staging terror attacks in Miami, and other terrorist acts. Fortunately, then Secretary of Defense, Robert McNamara, put a kibosh to this insane plan.More recently, in January, 2003, in the lead-up to the Iraq invasion George Bush and Tony Blair discussed painting planes in United Nations colors "in order to provoke an attack which could then be used to justify material breach" and thus set in motion an invasion, according to Philippe Sands, a leading British human rights lawyer (see Revealed: Bush and Blair discussed using American Spyplane in UN colors to lure Saddam into war, Channel Four News). <br />In fact, the neocons have not rested in their effort to foment war and force the support of the American people by way of deception. On May 16, 2008, Paul Joseph Watson, writing for Prison Planet, noted confidential recordings released under the Freedom of Information Act revealing the efforts of former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and top military analysts to cook up another terrorist attack on America in order to gain support for their ambitious plans to decimate Muslim culture. "The most extraordinary exchange takes place when Lt. Gen. Michael DeLong bemoans shrinking political support for Neo-Con war plans on Capitol Hill and suggests that sympathy for the Bush administration's agenda will only be achieved after a new terror attack," writes Watson. "Rumsfeld agrees that the psychological impact of 9/11 is wearing off and the 'behavior pattern' of citizens in both the U.S. and Europe suggests that they are unconcerned about the threat of terror." Rumsfeld characterizes Bush as "a victim of success" because America has not suffered "an attack in five years" and for Rumsfeld and the neocons this state of affairs is indeed lamentable. <br />Obviously, the neocons will stop at nothing — including the murder of more Americans in a false flag terror attack — to realize their agenda. <br />Finally, Sy Hersh casts suspicion on himself during the interview when he admits he did not bother to write an article on the neocon casus belli brainstorming session because it did not go forward. "So I can understand the argument for not writing something that was rejected — uh maybe. My attitude always towards editors is they're mice training to be rats.... But the point is jejune, if you know what that means."

The trials have been delayed for years, in part by courts that found legal fault with the commissions created to try people designated by the government as "unlawful enemy combatants."</p> </div> <a href="/blog/46982-uk-mp-slams-government-over-guantanamo-ahead-of-trial">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/46781-cuba-hopes-for-more-volleyball-gold 2008-08-27T18:47:34Z Reuters <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/S_83Ke2ZIuM&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/S_83Ke2ZIuM&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/46781-cuba-hopes-for-more-volleyball-gold"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/55292" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>The Cuban women's volleyball team is hoping for more gold in Beijing. </p> <p>The Cubans won gold medals at Barcelona 1992, Atlanta 1996 and Sydney 2000 and bronze in Athens 2004. </p> <p>Deborah Lutterbeck</p> </div> <a href="/blog/46781-cuba-hopes-for-more-volleyball-gold">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/45804-excerpts-from-gitmo-interrogation-of-a-16-year-old-canadian 2008-10-06T12:49:03Z Michael Moore <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/aeJIF-zJhuE&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/aeJIF-zJhuE&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/45804-excerpts-from-gitmo-interrogation-of-a-16-year-old-canadian"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/53089" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p><p>Omar Khadr is seen being interrogated at the U.S.&#39;s Guantanamo Bay detention center in Cuba in 2003. </p><p>Read more about Omar here: <a href="&lt;a href=" /><a href="http://www.cbc.ca/canada/story/2008/07/15/khadr-tapes.html">www.cbc.ca</a> </a></p><p>He&#39;s asking for help and so are we at <a href="http://www.michaelmoore.com/">www.michaelmoore.com</a> </p></p> </div> <a href="/blog/45804-excerpts-from-gitmo-interrogation-of-a-16-year-old-canadian">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/45679-cycling-for-gold 2008-08-20T20:18:22Z Reuters <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ivy4l-6drAs&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ivy4l-6drAs&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/45679-cycling-for-gold"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/52926" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>Jul 14 - Cuba's Gonzalez hopes she can match her 2004 World Cycling Gold at Beijing Olympics.Gonzalez is one of the most consistent cyclists in the region and one of Latin America's best hopes to clinch an Olympic medal.Deborah Lutterbeck reports.</p> </div> <a href="/blog/45679-cycling-for-gold">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/45629-nikolas-gvosdev-the-energy-crisis 2008-10-06T12:23:21Z Carnegie Council <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/HevWzN4YZvU&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/HevWzN4YZvU&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/45629-nikolas-gvosdev-the-energy-crisis"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/52860" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>Gvosdev discusses how the US and Europe are negotiating to get energy supplies and how the US will have to deal with the problem in the future. <br />This is an excerpt from a Carnegie Council Global Policy Innovations event, "The Rise of the Rest," on July 1, 2008.

When asked in a questionnaire about his policy toward Cuba, he answered: 'I believe that normalization of relations with Cuba would help the oppressed and poverty-stricken Cuban people while setting the stage for a more democratic government once Castro inevitably leaves the scene.' Now Senator Obama has shifted positions and says he only favors easing the embargo, not lifting it. He also wants to sit down unconditionally for a presidential meeting with Raul Castro. These steps would send the worst possible signal to Cuba's dictators -- there is no need to undertake fundamental reforms, they can simply wait for a unilateral change in US policy. I believe we should give hope to the Cuban people, not to the Castro regime. My administration will press the Cuban regime to release all political prisoners unconditionally, to legalize all political parties, labor unions, and free media, and to schedule internationally monitored elections. The embargo must stay in place until these basic elements of democratic society are met."</p> <p>LABEL: JM FL 5-20 (JR#57) SG-ClipD</p> <p>To download a high res version of this clip, VISIT: https://issuealliance.box.net/shared/p28sqi84k8</p> <p>To download the full campaign event, VISIT: "https://issuealliance.box.net/shared/b63bxlu88k <br />https://issuealliance.box.net/shared/ktegvxesk0"</p> </div> <a href="/blog/43744-john-mccain-town-hall-meeting-05-20-08">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/43734-mccain-town-hall-05-20-08 2008-06-30T23:37:07Z IssueAlliance <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/TA3e7TjPlvU&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/TA3e7TjPlvU&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/43734-mccain-town-hall-05-20-08"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/50073" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>John McCain <br />Town Hall Meeting <br />Miami, FL 05/20/08</p> <p>TRANSCRIPT: <br />QUESTIONER: "...

It's disturbing because it's very immature behavior. And also his ties with Castro--now Raul--are very disturbing. ... The United States must always function on the principle that we believe that everyone has the rights have that we have guaranteed ourselves. And yes they don't sometimes. But that does not mean that we should abandon our struggles to see that all human beings are God's children and have certain rights that they were born with. And I think that that doesn't mean that we go around invading countries, it doesn't mean we use force of arms. It means, though, that we put as much pressure as we can where we can to improve the lot of human beings throughout the world, and that's in that country, too."</p> <p>LABEL: JM FL 5-20 (JR#57) GC-ClipJ</p> <p>To download a high res version of this clip, VISIT: https://issuealliance.box.net/shared/j231m33sw0 <br />To download the full campaign event, VISIT: TAPE 1: https://issuealliance.box.net/shared/8rbafpy0cg <br />TAPE 2: https://issuealliance.box.net/shared/ktegvxesk0"</p> </div> <a href="/blog/43734-mccain-town-hall-05-20-08">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/43281-rep-virgil-goode-china-drilling-for-oil-near-our-shores 2008-07-15T12:48:58Z tpmtv <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/oGl-ul64g0M&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/oGl-ul64g0M&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/43281-rep-virgil-goode-china-drilling-for-oil-near-our-shores"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/49481" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>Rep.
