The fact alone that Rosevelt placed all his battleships in the same spot on the map proves that he was awating such a thing to happen. You dont really need to be a pro at the game battleship to learn this.
Why does one build a sky scraper if not to make more people fall from higher.

Aramax: That is one bizarre analogy you’ve made there.

My brother met an old vet who had survived the attack at Pearl Harbor. The vet told him everyone was wondering why the Navy began pulling out the newer ships and bringing into port the older, more obsolete ones–soon before the attack.
I thought that was interesting, though it’s second hand hearsay! -

I understand Dylan Avery is about to release Loose Change: Pearl Harbor, and reveal shocking evidence that it was US pilots disguised as Japanese pilots in Japanese planes that attacked Pearl Harbor.

A solution to a problem is often the most simpel one. So the answer to the suspicious facts is probably just incompetence among the authorities.

The truth is just one: Americans likes to fight a war, lamentable that they not know do it.

I’m not an expert on WWII, but what I’ve read casts a lot of doubt on the idea of a Pearl Harbor conspiracy. The main point against it, IMO, has to do with why the US was blindsided by Pearl Harbor. It wasn’t because they weren’t expecting war with Japan, it’s because they expected Japan’s initial strike to be on the Philippines. If you look at a map, you can get an idea why. (this is a decent starting point, though it is Wikipedia.)
The attack on Pearl Harbor was quite audacious, radio silence was not just some advantage, it was a necessity. It was a bold move on their part.
I also think the Unanswered Question #3 section about FDR provoking the Japanese is lacking. Most of the material is unsourced, and in particular it leaves out at least one important detail. The Japanese had started an imperialistic war to seize natural resources. They were the aggressors. When FDR put on the embargo, they had two options: end their war to get the sanctions lifted, or invade even more territories to grab the natural resources they wanted. The Japanese chose the latter.

This is absurd and totally inappropriate for Memorial Day. Remember, if it weren’t for those that served the US many of the freedoms that we take for granted would not be enjoyed today.

Sad to say though Tyler this is happening again these past few years as the conspiracy theorists are spinning the 9/11 attacks and whatnot.

Hm - that’s a good point, Tyler. These posts are scheduled way in advance and I just didn’t notice that it hit on Memorial Day.
No slight was intended, and I do appreciate the sacrifice the soldiers and personnel of the US military throughout the years.

What a load of crap.
The government doesn’t mind crackpot conspiracy theories, because:1. Nobody in their right minds really believes them.
2. It makes people feel less vulnerable, and preserves the fantasy that the government is omnipotent.
3. It keep people distracted from the secret moon base built in cooperation with aliens, who are growing an army of human-alien hybrids to fight an intergalactic war with the insectoid scourge. -

Oh no ted, the secret base is here in America. Just follow the black helicopters and the secret codes behind the traffic signs.

All you conspiracy theory believeing bastards are stupid. Every attack on America just has to be a conspiracy dosent it? What about every other attack on every other country, is that a conspiracy? Either every event that started a war involving america is a conspiracy or you guys are dumb. The answer is that you guys are dumb. go to hell.

Total BS. WHen you read something like that, you really have to question everything else that comes from the same writer/source.

If it was a conspiracy, probably government would hide this.People always like to talk about their achievements, not their failures.

Okay fellas, say what you will but let us not forget the immortal words of Marine General Smedly Darlington Butler, twice awarded the Medal of Honor: “All U.S. wars are rackets. I was nothing but a hit man for Wall Street.”
He wrote a wonderful little book with the same title: All wars are Rackets. Check it out on Amazon, etc.
And getting back to the time preceding WWII, don’t forget that FDR, after eight miserable years of his depression and 25% unemployment, had to do something desperate to get the boys employed. And what better way than to generate a war to make the world safe for democracy and to get the wheels of commerce spinning once again, etc.
Sorry to say it, but even the first war of the new republic was a war, not for independence for the common folks, but for real estate speculators who wanted to go beyond the Appalacians to scoop up cheap land for like a few cents an acre. However, King George–not the present one but the first one–decreed that that was his domain and his alone. Cui bono?

FDR let Pearl Harbor happen because he knew something like that would dramatically raise support for a war. Same thing with 9/11 and the sinking of the USS Maine.

The secret base is located in Southern Ca. Those who come out of it have fanned out to clog the freeways, and infiltrate neighborhoods disquised as gardeners, news paper tossers, and nannys.
They pretend not to understand english, and are slowly taking over with the help of quisling organizations. -

This was a speech made by Gen. Bill Mitchell
July, 1924
“Japan knows full well that the United States will probably enter the next war with the methods and weapons of the former war…It also knows full well that the defense of the Hawaiian group is based on the island of Oahu and not on the defense of the whole group.”
“The Japanese bombardment, (would be) 100 (air) ships organized into four squadrons of 25 (air) ships each. The objectives for attack are:
1.Ford Island, airdrome, hangers, storehouses and ammunition dumps;
2.Navy fuel oil tanks;
3.Water supply of Honolulu;
4.Water supply of Schofield;
5.Schofield Barracks airdrome and troop establishments;
6.Naval submarine station;
7. City and wharves of Honolulu.”
“Attack will be launched as follows: bombardment, attack to be made on Ford Island at 7:30 a.m.
“Attack to be made on Clark Field (Philippine Islands) at 10:40 a.m.”
“Japanese pursuit aviation will meet bombardment over Clark Field, proceeding by squadrons, one at 3000 feet to Clark Field from the southeast and with the sun at their back, one at 5000 feet from the north and one at 10,000 feet from the west. Should U.S. pursuit e destroyed or fail to appear, airdrome would be attacked with machineguns.”
“The (Japanese) air force would then carry out a systematic siege against Corregidor.”
“The United States must not render herself completely defenseless on the one hand thinking that a war with Japan is an impossibility, and on the other by sticking to methods and means of making war as obsolete as the bow and arrow is for the military rifle.”

What if FDR had not embargoed Japanese imports of scrap metal and oil in 1941?
The more listed possibilities, the better. thank you!
