JetBlue Jumble 191: False Flag Flight?

Last week JetBlue Flight 191 had taken off from New York and was en route to Las Vegas when Captain Clayton Frederick Osbon, the pilot, began yelling. Alarmed passengers heard his frantic warnings of a bomb planted onboard, somehow connected to Iran, Iraq and Afghanistan.

Clearly It was a terrifying trip, whether you believe the official story that the pilot simply freaked out, or suspect that there was an official effort to stage a false flag terror event. The latter possibility isn’t merely conspiracy theory, it is conspiracy history. According to declassified details of Operation Northwoods, 50 years ago the Joint Chiefs of Staff proposed false flag attacks against both U.S. civilian and military targets on air, land and sea to provoke us into a war with Castro’s Cuba, which was to be blamed for the mass murders of American citizens.

JFK, who rejected the plan, was assassinated and replaced in 1963 by LBJ, whose administration staged the 1964 Gulf of Tonkin Incident to provoke us into a war against Vietnam. The same LBJ refused to defend the USS Liberty when it was viciously attacked by Israeli air and sea forces during its 1967 Six Day War, launched against its Arab neighbors three days earlier. The Liberty Incident was a textbook false flag operation, in which the Johnson administration was prepared to join the Israeli war by attacking Egypt, the nation that it intended to blame for the false flag.

Apropos of JFK’s assassination, I stand with the three-quarters of the American people who share the “conspiracy theory” that the government and media haven’t told us the truth about it. Every one of us has his or her favorite clue, excepting scholars like my Veterans Today colleague Dr. James Fetzer, a former Marine Corps captain who has courageously cooperated with me on dangerous counter-false-flag missions. Jim has researched and written so much about the Kennedy conspiracy that he would probably be hard-pressed to single out a most compelling clue. As a linguist and a layman, though, my foremost factoid from JFk’s fatal day in Dallas is verbal. I can’t imagine why Texas governor John Connally, who was stuck by the first bullet to pass through Kennedy, would immediately exclaim “Oh my God, they’re going to kill us all!” — unless he presupposed that they were not going to kill all of the people in the car. His suspicious outcry came just after JFK clutched his throat, and just before his head exploded, With it, the governor became both the first conspiracy theorist and the foremost witness of the assassination.

I adduce the Connally exclamation because it is an eerie precursor of Captain Osbon’s exclamation onboard JetBlue Flight 191:
