Today In History: Pearl Harbor 75 Years Ago Today - The False Flag Attack That Thrust The United States Into World War II

Today is a day that indeed will live in infamy.... Seventy-five years ago today, the Japanese strike force known as Kido Butai containing 6 fleet aircraft carriers and support vessels, launched two aerial strikes against the US Naval Pacific Fleet while it sat at anchor in Pearl Harbor, Oahu, Hawaii.... That attack cost the lives of some 2300+ US servicemen and women, along with sinking 18 surface ships of the American Pacific fleet, and destroying upwards of 150+ aircraft on the ground... And yes, with that strike the empire of Japan was officially at war with the United States of America....We have all heard so many times in the fraud history books that this attack on America was a "surprise attack", but evidence during and after the war showed differently.... With much gained knowledge over the 75 years since that attack we can now say with absolute certainty that the United States itself provoked the Japanese and set up the attack... It can now be said to be a "false flag attack" and that criminals within the US government itself are to blame for the thousands who lost their lives on Oahu that fateful day....First, I want to present a link to an interesting report that came out several years ago from the Truth11.com website, that shows exactly how the attack on Pearl Harbor was fomented by the US Naval Intelligence department through a memo sent to the US government from Arthur H McCollum on October 7th, 1940.... This memorandum became infamously known as the "McCollum Memo" and laid out exactly how the US could provoke the Japanese into attacking the US Pacific Fleet moored at Pearl Harbor Hawaii, and thus get the US into World War II through the "back door"....Here is the link to that article that contains an important interview with Robert Stinnett, author of "Day Of Deceit: The Truth About FDR And Pearl Harbor", for everyone to see for themselves the reality of the attack:https://truth11.com/2010/10/17/pearl-harbor-was-an-inside-job-fdr-not-only-knew-about-the-attack-in-advance-but-that-his-administration-did-everything-it-could-to-cause-a-japanese-attack-on-americ/Second, I want to present the following link to an important article from Michael Rivero's "What Really Happened" website, at www.whatreallyhappened.com, that gives in great detail exactly how the entire attack on Pearl Harbor was set up and the chain of events leading up to that attack... Here is that link to that article, entitled: "Pearl Harbor, Mother Of All Conspiracies" for everyone to read for themselves here:http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/WRHARTICLES/pearl.php#axzz4SCyiNZpgOK, Lets face the facts here.. I too was fooled for all the years of my youth into the belief that the attack on Pearl Harbor was a "surprise attack" and that the Japanese were indeed guilty of that atrocity..... It was only after doing some of my own research during the 80's and the 90's that I came to the conclusion that we had all been LIED TO about this attack and that indeed the President of the United States at the time of the attack, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, absolutely knew about the set up for the attack and absolutely made sure that the naval and army officials on the island of Oahu were ill-informed of the set up or were purposely kept in the dark to make sure the "surprise" attack took place with little opposition and to make sure that Oahu itself was not alerted that the attack was coming.... Therefore without any doubt, FDR himself is and always was a TRAITOR to America and is responsible for the deaths of thousands of innocent lives that perished during that attack....And for those who want the details of that McCollum Memo that was at the root of the Pearl Harbor attack, here it is in its entirety:0p-16-F-2 ON1 7 October 1940Memorandum for the DirectorSubject: Estimate of the Situation in the Pacific andRecommendations for Action by the United States.1. The United States today finds herself confrontedby a hostile Germany and Italy in Europe and by an equallyhostile Japan in the Orient. Russia, the great land link betweenthese two groups of hostile powers, is at present neutral, butin all probability favorably inclined towards the Axis powers,and her favorable attitude towards these powers may be expectedto increase in direct proportion to increasing success in theirprosecution of the war in Europe. Germany and Italy have beensuccessful in war on the continent of Europe and all of Europeis either under their military control or has been forced intosubservience. Only the British Empire is actively opposing bywar the growing world dominance of Germany and Italy and theirsatellites.2. The United States at first remained coolly alooffrom the conflict in Europe and there is considerable evidenceto support the view that Germany and Italy attempted by everymethod within their power to foster a continuation of Americanindifference to the outcome of the struggle in Europe. Paradoxically,every success of German and Italian arms has led to furtherincreases in United States sympathy for and material support ofthe British Empire, until at the present time the United Statesgovernment stands committed to a policy of rendering everysupport short of war the changes rapidly increasing thatthe United States will become a full fledged ally of the BritishEmpire in the very near future. The final failure of Germanand Italian diplomacy to keep the United States in the role ofa disinterested spectator has forced them to adopt the policy ofdeveloping threats to U.S. security in other spheres of the world,notably by the threat of revolutions in South and Central Americaby Axis-dominated groups and by the stimulation of Japan to furtheraggressions and threats in the Far East in the hope that by thesemean the Unites States would become so confused in thoughtand fearful of her own immediate security as to cause her tobecome so preoccupied in purely defensive preparations as tovirtually preclude U.S. aid to Great Britain in any form. As aresult of this policy, Germany and Italy have lately concludeda military alliance with Japan directed against the United StatesIf the published terms of this treaty and the pointedutterances of German, Italian and Japanese leaders can be believed,and there seems no ground on which to doubt either, the threetotalitarian powers agree to make war on the United States,should she come to the assistance of England, or should sheattempt to forcibly interfere with Japan's aims in the Orient and,[2]furthermore, Germany and Italy expressly reserve the right todetermine whether American aid to Britain, short of war, is acause for war or not after they have succeeded in defeatingEngland. In other words, after England has been disposed ofher enemies will decide whether or not to immediately proceedwith an attack on the United States. Due to geographic conditions,neither Germany nor Italy are in a position to offer anymaterial aid to Japan. Japan, on the contrary, can be of muchhelp to both Germany and Italy by threatening and possibly evenattacking British dominions and supply routes from Australia,India and the Dutch East Indies, thus materially weakeningBritain's position in opposition to the Axis powers in Europe.In exchange for this service, Japan receives a free hand to seizeall of Asia that she can find it possible to grab, with theadded promise that Germany and Italy will do all in their powerto keep U.S. attention so attracted as to prevent the UnitedStates from taking positive aggressive action against Japan.Here again we have another example of the Axis-Japanesediplomacy which is aimed at keeping American power immobilized,and by threats and alarms to so confuse American thought as topreclude prompt decisive action by the United States in eithersphere of action. It cannot be emphasized to strongly thatthe last thing desired by either the Axis powers in Europeor by Japan in the Far East is prompt, warlike action by theUnited States in either theatre of operations.3. An examination of the situation in Europe leadsto the conclusion that there is little that we can do now,immediately to help Britain that is not already being done.We have no trained army to send to the assistance of England,nor will we have for at least a year. We are now trying toincrease the flow of materials to England and to bolster thedefense of England in every practicable way and this aid willundoubtedly be increased. On the other hand, there is littlethat Germany or Italy can do against us as long as Englandcontinues in the war and her navy maintains control of theAtlantic. The one danger to our position lies in the possibleearly defeat of the British Empire with the British Fleet fallingintact into the hands of the Axis powers. The possibility ofsuch an event occurring would be materially lessened were weactually allied in war with the British or at the very leastwere taking active measures to relieve the pressure on Britainin other spheres of action. To sum up: the threat to our securityin the Atlantic remains small so long as the British Fleetremains dominant in that ocean and friendly to the United States.4. In the Pacific, Japan by virtue of her alliancewith Germany and Italy is a definite threat to the securityof the British Empire and once the British Empire is gone thepower of Japan-Germany and Italy is to be directed against theUnited States. A powerful land attack by Germany and Italythrough the Balkans and North Africa against the Suez Canalwith a Japanese threat or attack on Singapore would have veryserious results for the British Empire. Could Japan be divertedor neutralized, the fruits of a successful attack on the SuezCanal could not be as far reaching and beneficial to the Axispowers as if such a success was also accompanied by the virtualelimination of British sea power from the Indian Ocean, thus[3]opening up a European supply route for Japan and a sea route forEastern raw materials to reach Germany and Italy, Japan must bediverted if the British and American ( ) blockade of Europeand possibly Japan (?) is to remain even partially in effect.5. While as pointed out in Paragraph (3) there islittle that the United States can do to immediately retrievethe situation in Europe, the United States is able to effectivelynullify Japanese aggressive action, and do it without lesseningU.S. material assistance to Great Britain.6. An examination of Japan's present position asopposed to the United States reveals a situation as follows:Advantages Disadvantages1. Geographically strong position 1. A million and a half menof Japanese Islands. engaged in an exhausting waron the Asiatic Continent.2. A highly centralized strong 2. Domestic economy and foodcapable government. supply severely straightened.3. Rigid control of economy on 3. A serious lack of sources ofa war basis. raw materials for war. Notablyoil, iron and cotton.4. A people inured to hardship 4. Totally cut off from suppliesand war. from Europe.5. A powerful army. 5. Dependent upon distant overseasroutes for essential supplies.6. A skillful navy about 2/3 6. Incapable of increasingthe strength of the U.S. Navy. manufacture and supply of warmaterials without free accessto U.S. or European markets.7. Some stocks of raw materials. 7. Major cities and industrialcenters extremely vulnerableto air attack.8. Weather until April renderingdirect sea operations in thevicinity of Japan difficult.7. In the Pacific the United States possesses a very strongdefensive position and a navy and naval air force at presentin that ocean capable of long distance offensive operation. Thereare certain other factors which at the present time are stronglyin our favor, viz:A. Philippine Islands still held by the United States.B. Friendly and possibly allied government in controlof the Dutch East Indies.C. British still hold Hong Kong and Singapore andare favorable to us.D. Important Chinese armies are still in the fieldin China against Japan.E. A small U.S. Naval Force capable of seriouslythreatening Japan's southern supply routes[4]already in the theatre of operations.F. A considerable Dutch naval force is in theOrient that would be of value if allied to U.S.8. A consideration of the foregoing leads to theconclusion that prompt aggressive naval action against Japan bythe United States would render Japan incapable of affording anyhelp to Germany and Italy in their attack on England and thatJapan itself would be faced with a situation in which her navycould be forced to fight on most unfavorable terms or acceptfairly early collapse of the country through the force of blockade.A prompt and early declaration of war after entering into suitablearrangements with England and Holland, would be most effectivein bringing about the early collapse of Japan and thus eliminatingour enemy in the pacific before Germany and Italy could strikeat us effectively. Furthermore, elimination of Japan must surelystrengthen Britain's position against Germany and Italy and, inaddition, such action would increase the confidence and supportof all nations who tend to be friendly towards us.9. It is not believed that in the present state ofpolitical opinion the United States government is capable ofdeclaring war against Japan without more ado; and it is barelypossible that vigorous action on our part might lead theJapanese to modify their attitude. Therefore, the followingcourse of action is suggested:A. Make an arrangement with Britain for the use ofBritish bases in the Pacific, particularlySingapore.B. Make an arrangement with Holland for the use ofbase facilities and acquisition of suppliesin the Dutch East Indies.C. Give all possible aid to the Chinese governmentof Chiang-Kai-Shek.D. Send a division of long range heavy cruisers tothe Orient, Philippines, or Singapore.E. Send two divisions of submarines to the Orient.F. Keep the main strength of the U.S. fleet now inthe Pacific in the vicinity of the Hawaiian Islands.G. Insist that the Dutch refuse to grant Japanesedemands for undue economic concessions,particularly oil.H. Completely embargo all U.S. trade with Japan,in collaboration with a similar embargo imposedby the British Empire.10. If by these means Japan could be led to commit anovert act of war, so much the better. At all events we must be fullyprepared to accept the threat of war.A. H. McCollumCC-0p-160p-16-FFile[5]0p-16-F-2 ON1 7 October 1940Summary1. The United States is faced by a hostile combination ofpowers in both the Atlantic and Pacific.2. British naval control of the Atlantic prevents hostileaction against the United States in this area.3. Japan's growing hostility presents an attempt to open seacommunications between Japan and the Mediterranean by anattack on the British lines of communication in theIndian Ocean.4. Japan must be diverted if British opposition in Europe isto remain effective.5. The United States naval forces now in the Pacific arecapable of so containing and harassing Japan as to nullifyher assistance to Germany and Italy.6. It is to the interest of the United States to eliminateJapan's threat in the Pacific at the earliest opportunityby taking prompt and aggressive action against Japan.7. In the absence of United States ability to take thepolitical offensive, additional naval force should besent to the orient and agreements entered into with Hollandand England that would serve as an effective check againstJapanese encroachments in South-eastern Asia.[6]Comment by Captain KnoxIt is unquestionably to out general interestthat Britain be not licked - just now she has a stalemateand probably cant do better. We ought to make it certainthat she at least gets a stalemate. For this she will probablyneed from us substantial further destroyers and air reinforcementsto England. We should not precipitate anything in theOrient that should hamper our ability to do this - so long asprobability continues.If England remains stable, Japan will be cautiousin the Orient. Hence our assistance to England in the Atlanticis also protection to her and us in the Orient.However, I concur in your courses of actionwe must be ready on both sides and probably strong enoughto care for both.D.W.K.Re your #6: - no reason for battleships notvisiting west coast in bunches.Lets also face the facts here... I am in no way wanting to slur or discredit all of those brave soldiers and sailors that fought and died during that attack....Many fought believing that they were fighting a just war at the time and it is not my place to dishonour them in any way....But the truth must be told....I need not remind my readers here that I personally went to Oahu on a vacation several years back and toured Pearl Harbor and paid homage to the sailors that perished at the USS Arizona Memorial.....But I found it very insulting to hear the curators and the tour guides continue to say to tourists that this was a "surprise" and a "criminal act" by the empire of Japan....And when I approached many of the veteran sailors' tables on display at Pearl Harbor and asked many of them about the "McCollum Memo", the majority just stared at me, or wanted to know what I was talking about.... Many were indeed unaware of the set up as laid out in that memo and I indeed gave them the links to look at it in great detail themselves..... Hopefully they too can handle the truth....Yes, 75 years now, and hopefully with time and proper research most people will understand the truth about this attack and how indeed it may indeed be the "Mother Of All Conspiracies"...More to comeNTS
