Oh I have nothing but respect for the poor brave bastards that were conned into sacrificing their lives for lying conniving governments. I have ZERO respect for the people and organisations that sent them there.
Speaking of historical facts.
1941: JAPAN. On July 26, the U.S. freezes all Japanese assets in the U.S. On July 28, all Japanese assets in the Dutch East Indies are frozen and oil deals cancelled. The moves bring 75% of Japan's foreign trade to a standstill and cut off ninety percent of its oil supply leaving the Japanese with little choice but to go to war with the U.S.
1941: UNITED STATES. FBI head J. "Edgar" Hoover disregards a report of vastly increased Japanese intelligence interest in the defenses at Pearl Harbor provided by British Intelligence.
1941: UNITED STATES/AUSTRALIA. Three days before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Australian intelligence tells the Roosevelt regime that a Japanese task force is moving toward Hawaii.
1941: HAWAII. On December 7th the Japanese deliver some shock and awe to elements of the U.S. Pacific fleet at Pearl Harbor in the U.S.-occupied colony of Hawaii, inflicting massive damage. 2400 are killed, 1300 wounded, 118 planes are destroyed and eleven ships are sunk. Controversy still surrounds the attack. Although no one has been able to prove definitively that Franklin Roosevelt himself knew of the attack in advance, at the very least there were grounds for anyone to anticipate the possibility and take appropriate defensive measures. British intelligence had, in fact, provided direct warnings of the planning of the attack to FBI Director J. Edna Hoover and other countries had provided similar warnings to the U.S. The U.S. was perfectly aware that a Japanese attack somewhere in the Pacific was imminent. War with Japan had been provoked and made inevitable by the U.S. cutting off Japan's vital oil supplies.
At the time of the attack on Pearl Harbor, the U.S. is decrypting about a thousand pages a day of coded Japanese traffic. Following the attack, the U.S. government will maintain that the traffic contained no indication of an impending attack. The government will, however, classify much of it secret and deny access to many of the intercepts to the string of enquiries which will "investigate" Pearl Harbor over the years. Much of the decrypted traffic is still classified more than six decades later.
"we received positive information that Japan would declare war against the United States, at a time to be specified thereafter. This information was positive and unmistakable and was made available to Military (US Army) Intelligence at this same time." Further testimony reveals that at 5AM Hawaiian time on December 7th, the U.S. received "positive information....that the Japanese declaration of war would be presented to the Secretary of State at 1PM Washington time." The disposition of the big ships on Battleship Row in Pearl Harbor could not have been better for the Japanese pilots if they had arranged it themselves. The U.S. Navy were keenly aware of the devastating success of carrier-borne aircraft against battleships in harbor. A few months earlier the British had destroyed almost the entire Italian battle fleet in a single action in the formerly secure harbor at Taranto, Italy, using planes carrying torpedoes modified for shallow water and bombs from aircraft carriers two hundred miles away.
In view of the Taranto attack, and the obvious lessons to be learned from it, and the fact that war with Japan was being provoked, it is hard to draw any conclusion other than that the American ships in Pearl Harbor were deliberately left like sitting ducks in order to make the Japanese attack the stunning success it was.
The capital ships sunk at Pearl Harbor were, for the most part, obsolete World War One era types and of rapidly diminishing military value. Only one of the battleships, the Nevada, was capable of moving under its own power. At the time of the attack, the ships were left completely vulnerable, with watertight doors and ammunition lockers open. The three modern aircraft carriers based at Pearl Harbor, the real power and future of the Pacific fleet, were safely at sea at the time of the attack.
In spite of all the warnings and the great likelihood of an attack anti-aircraft weapons were not manned, ammunition was locked down, anti-submarine measures were not implemented, combat air patrols were not flying and scouting aircraft were not in the air at first light. Newly available long-range patrol aircraft were not supplied to Pearl Harbor. Land based anti-aircraft guns were not manned or even in position and aircraft were lined up on the ground wingtip to wingtip, almost impossible for the Japanese to miss.
Immediately after the Japanese attack, the government of Britain and the Netherlands government-in-exile in Britain declare war on Japan even before the U.S. itself has done so. The U.S. then declares war on Japan but, contrary to popular myth in the U.S., not on Germany or Italy. Pro-Nazi and fascist sentiment in the United States, representing the all-powerful U.S. ruling class and sold to the U.S. public by the mass media of Hearst and others as “neutrality”, is still far too strong.
A few days after the attack on Pearl Harbor, Hitler, allowing his personal hatred and fear of Roosevelt to overcome his better judgment, makes one of his greatest errors and declares war on the United States. If Hitler had not declared war on the U.S., it is entirely possible that Roosevelt would never have been able to risk another coup attempt by challenging the power of the U.S. ruling class and that the U.S. would never have declared war on Germany.
Using armaments, fuel and cash supplied by the U.S. ruling class, the Nazis would have established the New World Order throughout Europe and the Soviet Union, destroying Britain as a competitor to U.S. and German-based multinationals, and seizing the incalculable bonanza of cheap or free slave labor, cheap resources and massive markets which Standard Oil, Texaco, GM, Ford, Chase Bank, Kodak, Chrysler, Sperry, International Harvester, IBM, IT&T, Dupont, General Electric and the others had expected to receive by financing the rise to power of the Nazis.
A massive propaganda campaign on the so-called “Day of Infamy” resonates in the U.S. to this day. Most Americans remain wilfully blind to the fact that the sneak attack without declaration of war for which the Japanese are endlessly vilified is standard U.S. operating procedure and has been employed by the United States in hundreds of unprovoked attacks on completely innocent and defenceless countries around the world over the past two hundred years.
1942-45: UNITED STATES. That pathetic old fraud, the U.S. Constitution is once again demonstrated to be nothing more than one more link in the endless chain of illusions, delusions and deceptions which constitutes the myth of "America". Executive Order 9066 purports to give the U.S. Army the power, without warrants, indictments or hearings, to arrest every person of Japanese-American descent on the U.S. West Coast. 120,000 men, women and children are arrested on the basis solely of race and transported to ten concentration camps in the interior of the U.S. where they are imprisoned behind barbed wire and machine gun towers for the duration of the war.In March, the private company operating under the name of the Federal Reserve begins stealing the land, farms, businesses, fishing boats and other assets of American citizens of Japanese descent. In a classic piece of U.S. government bullshit, the War Relocation Authority is generously formed to "assist" the Japanese-Americans being driven from their homes.
Three quarters of the victims are American-born and American citizens. The other quarter are Japanese immigrants to the U.S. who have been denied the possibility of becoming Americans under America's racist citizenship laws. In 1944, the ever-vigilant U.S. Supreme Court, apparently never having heard of the U.S. Constitution, upholds the supposed legality of the concentration camps in the infamous Korematsu decision in which the Court grants the regime du jour essentially unlimited powers to arrest, hold without trial and keep in concentration camps people who are are charmingly called "aliens" and American citizens on the purported grounds of military necessity.
At war's end, the concentration camps are opened and the inmates are eventually allowed to return to their "homes," or rather to their hometowns, since most of them have had all their possessions stolen since being imprisoned. In 1948, the federal government offers to compensate the victims for the property stolen from them by the U.S. government. The rate of proposed compensation is ten cents on the dollar and will be paid only if the victims can show documented proof of their loss.
And the whole concentration camp program is run by none other than Hitler Project kingpin, Rockefeller proxy and advisor to Benito Mussolini John J. McCloy. When asked about the constitutionality of rounding up American citizens and shipping them off to concentration camps, McCloy responds in an uncharacteristic display of honesty, "Why the Constitution is just a scrap of paper to me." And who should be working with McCloy on the concentration camp project but a young fellow who will reappear alongside him twenty one years later to carry out the Warren Commission cover-up of the assassination of John F. Kennedy; none other than Earl Warren.
1945: JAPAN. On August 6th, the U.S. commits the most murderous war crime in history when it becomes the first and only country ever to use the atomic bomb in warfare at Hiroshima, Japan. The U.S. had broken the Japanese diplomatic code and knew first hand that Japan was on the verge of military collapse. Shortly before Hiroshima, the U.S. had killed 80,000 civilians in a single night in the fire-bombing of Tokyo. The country was utterly devastated and, with its oil supplies cut off, militarily finished. The Hiroshima bombing results in the immediate deaths of 150,000 people, almost all of them civilians plus twelve U.S. Navy flyers in the Hiroshima city jail. Another 300,000 Japanese will die lingering, horrible deaths from radiation burns and as a result of radiation poisoning. Fully documented offers of surrender by Japan are deliberately ignored, over the objections of many prominent Allied and U.S. military figures and many of the scientists who had developed the bomb. Dropping the bomb achieved no legitimate military purpose but served to test the bomb’s effectiveness, to make a threatening demonstration of U.S. military might against its own ally, the Soviet Union, and ensured that Japan was occupied by the U.S. and not by the Soviet Union which was bound by agreement to enter the war against Japan two days after Hiroshima and would likely have occupied all or part of the country if the the U.S. hadn't dropped the bomb.
1945: JAPAN. A week after Hiroshima, an atomic bomb is dropped by the U.S. on Nagasaki resulting in the instantaneous deaths of 140,000 people. The total death toll of the two bombs is now over one million, almost all civilians. In addition to being a war crime, although they don't count when we commit them, the atomic bombing of Nagasaki was a “scientific” experiment to determine the differences in yield and effect between the two types of nuclear bomb which had been developed: the uranium 235 bomb dropped on Hiroshima versus the plutonium type dropped on Nagasaki. The deceptively-named U.S. Department of Energy still lists the nuclear annihilation of the people of Hiroshima and Nagasaki as "tests".
You're deception is in claiming one government is better than any other government. They aren't.
