Northwoods was not an attack, it was a series of proposals which were rejected by the Kennedy administration, it was never officially accepted and none of the operations that were proposed were ever carried out. Not only did Kennedy reject it, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff was fired over it.

Unless we could somehow either gain control of the military or could count on them not to attack American citizens, any revolt would be absolutely and utterly futile. We may have numbers, but numbers mean nothing when you're facing down the largest and most technologically advanced military in the entire world. Personally, I'd love to see the government and congress all tossed out on their asses, but realistically, I highly doubt it will ever happen.
