Official Narrative
This plan to carry out a flase flag was classified and remained secret for 40 years, so until published by James Bamford, there was no official narrative on the topic.
Origins
The plan was approved by the top ranking US military officer, Lyman Lemnitzer, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff - who was later to be appointed NATO's Supreme Allied Commander Europe, a job he would hold for over 6 years.
Failure to be implemented
US President John F. Kennedy did not agree to implement the plan and so it was never carried out.
