- THE PLOT TO KILL JOHN GLENN: You won't read about this in his obits in the MSM, but on February 2, 1962, as part of Operation Miongoose, Brig. Gen. William H. Craig (attached to the CIA and the Joint Chiefs of Staff; he worked with Brig. Gen. Edward Lansdale) suggested Operation Dirty Trick, to sabotage Glenn's Mercury launch and blame it on the Cubans. This was to be a pretext for invading Cuba, like the Operation Northwoods plan for false-flag domestic terrorism that was proposed to President Kennedy in March 1962 by the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Kennedy angrily rejected Operation Northwoods and fired the chairman of the chiefs, Gen. Lyman Lemnitzer. Glenn's orbital flight went off successfully on February 20, 1962. Now it's reported that Glenn resigned from the astronaut corps because President Kennedy wouldn't let him fly in space again. The reason stated in today's NY Times is that Kennedy didn't want to risk the life of an American hero. Perhaps this was a result of Kennedy knowing about Operation Dirty Trick. Glenn became a good friend of Robert Kennedy and his family.
