moonraven- you’re on the scent.
Chris Herz- if you ar being ironic, you are good, too.
Facts never taught in highschools:
1) the USA had already declared war on BOTH Japan and Germany 2+years before Pearl Harbor.
Roosevelt, since 1938, had been shipping massive quantities of both military hardware and mil-related products, by the millions of tons to England as prelude to forcing US voter sentiment to shift toward war. This President, concurrently, had enforced a worldwide embargo of all fuels and petroleum products against Japan since 1939, fuels the Japanese had to import to survive. To ensure war on both fronts, Roosevelt proceeded to install a massive naval fleet in occupied Hawaii, knowing this would be the last straw for the Japanese, and knowing they had no choice but to attack this fleet.
2) President Roosevelt, in the last year of his presidency, ordered a submarine-enforced blockade of Japan (~1943), keeping the Japanese, with their fleets being decimated, from importing ANY matl’s vital for life. There was never any threat of massive American casualties during an eventual occupation of Japan (a stupid but accepted myth). The nuclear attacks on Japan, committed after two requests by the Japanese for surrender, were the work of Roosevelt’s also cowardly successor, President Harry Truman. History is not taught in our schools. Or on Truthdig.

Back then people didn’t realize that their government was fascist and corporation-driven.
Pearl Harbor was as close as you can get to a false flag being outsourced. The US government knew about the attack and let it happen.
