THE DECEPTION
OF PEARL HARBOR
In the Pacific Theater, the stirrings of World War II actually began
years before. China had allowed Japan to drill for oil in several
provinces, because Standard Oil's price for kerosene was too high.
Through contacts in the Chinese government, Standard Oil had been able
to keep anyone from drilling, until the Japanese came and developed huge
fields. Standard Oil pushed them out, but the Japanese vowed to return,
even going as far as saying that they would seize China to recover their
oil investments.
When the Japanese invaded China in the 1930's, one of their first acts
was to destroy Standard Oil property, because they had been responsible
for their ouster.
In 1931, Henry L. Stimson, the Secretary of State (a Rockefeller lawyer
and agent), met with President Herbert Hoover, on behalf of the
Illuminati, to make a deal. The international bankers promised to end
the Depression if Hoover would declare war on Japan, and send in the
military to protect Standard Oil property. Even though Hoover
accommodated the bankers in many cases, this was one deal that he
refused.
So Stimson pitched the idea to Governor Franklin Delano Roosevelt (who
has a dozen U. S. Presidents in his family tree), who was indebted to
them because of his philanthropic operation at Georgia's Warm Springs.
Roosevelt was born at Hyde Park, New York, in 1882. He graduated from
Harvard, received a law degree from Columbia Law School, and in 1910,
was elected to the New York State Senate (re-elected in 1912). He was
appointed Assistant Secretary of the Navy by Wilson in 1913, on orders
from Col. House. According to House biographer Arthur D. Howden Smith,
Col. House "picked Roosevelt as a natural candidate for the Presidency
long before any other responsible politician." In the 1920 Presidential
election, Roosevelt was James Cox's running mate, but the Democratic
team suffered from the mistakes of the Wilson Administration, and lost
miserably to the Harding-Coolidge ticket. Roosevelt later became a
two-term governor of New York. After the 1932 Democratic convention in
Chicago, where Roosevelt became the Party's nominee, he met with Col.
House at his Massachusetts home. House told another biographer, Charles
Seymour, in 1938: "I was close to the movement that nominated Roosevelt
... He has given me a free hand in advising (Secretary of State,
Cordell) Hull. All the Ambassadors have reported to me frequently."
The Illuminati put all their political power behind Roosevelt to get him
elected, and in 1940, Roosevelt appointed Stimson (a CFR member) to the
post of Secretary of War, even though he was a Republican. House, who
was 75 years old, didn't become Roosevelt's 'alter ego.' That role was
filled by another Wilson advisor, Bernard Baruch, who became the liaison
between Roosevelt and the bankers. FDR's uncle, Frederic Delano, was a
member of the Federal Reserve Board, and in 1925, became the Chairman of
the League of Nations Committee. In 1934, he was appointed as Chairman
of the National Resources Planning Board, and in 1936, became Chairman
of the Federal Reserve Bank in Richmond, Virginia.
Roosevelt was a 32nd degree Mason, a Knight Templar, and a member of the
Shrine. He is a direct descendent of socialist Clinton B. Roosevelt, the
New York assemblyman who wrote The Science of Government Founded in
Natural Law, where he revealed a plan for world government. Clinton
Roosevelt and Horace Greeley (founder and owner of the New York Tribune
and New Yorker magazine) were the pioneers of social engineering
research. In the February, 1953 edition of the Empire State Mason, the
official publication of the Grand Lodge of New York, the claim was made
that if one-world government ever came about, FDR should get much of the
credit.
In 1932, Major General Smedley Butler of the U. S. Marine Corps was
approached by Grayson Mallet-Provost Murphy (a director of Guaranty
Trust), Robert S. Clark (a banker who inherited a fortune from the
founder of the Singer Sewing Machine Co.), and John W. Davis (a 1924
Presidential candidate, who was an attorney for J. P. Morgan), with a
plan to lead a revolution to overthrow the government and establish a
Fascist dictatorship, Butler was to "seize the White House with a
private army (of 500,000 veterans), hold Franklin Roosevelt prisoner,
and get rid of him if he refused to serve as their puppet in a
dictatorship they planned to impose and control." Butler chose to expose
the plot, rather than lead it, supposedly because of his patriotism. Or
was it because he recognized their true aim, which was for Roosevelt to
impose a dictatorship during a national emergency, so the government
could take complete control. Butler is on record as having said: "War
was largely a matter of money. Bankers lend money to foreign countries
and when they cannot repay, the President sends Marines to get it."
When the planned revolt didn't materialize, other plans were developed.
Frances Perkins, Secretary of Labor, reported: "At the first meeting of
the Cabinet after the President took office in 1933, the financier and
advisor to Roosevelt, Bernard Baruch, and Baruch's friend, General Hugh
Johnson, who was to become the head of the National Recovery
Administration, came in with a copy of a book by Gentile, the Italian
Fascist theoretician, for each member of the Cabinet, and we all read it
with care." Future plans called for the government to be moved towards
Fascism, and government control without a revolution. They decided that
the best method was through war, and Jim Farley, Roosevelt's Postmaster
General, said that during the second Cabinet meeting in 1933: "The new
President again turned to the possibility of war in Japan." Gen. Johnson
wrote: "I know of no well informed Washington observer who isn't
convinced that, if Mr. Roosevelt is elected (in 1940), he will drag us
into war at the first opportunity, and that, if none presents itself, he
will make one."
Roosevelt wanted Japan to withdraw, not only from Indo-China, but also
China (Manchuria). To enforce his demands, he froze all Japanese assets
in this country, and cancelled a 1911 commercial treaty. He had their
fuel supplies cut and placed an embargo on 11 raw materials which were
necessary for their military. In December, 1939, this was extended to
light steel. In England, Winston Churchill, and later the Dutch
government, followed suit. Former President Herbert Hoover observed the
various political manipulations, and said in August, 1941: "The American
people should insistently demand that Congress put a stop to
step-by-step projection of the United States into undeclared war..."
On September 28, 1940, Japan, Germany, and Italy signed the Tripartite
Treaty, which declared that if any of the three were attacked, all three
had to respond. So if Japan attacked the U.S., and the U.S. would
declare war against Japan, they would also be at war with Germany and
Italy.
In October, 1940, part of FDR's strategy to push Japan into committing
an overt act of war, was to move America's Pacific fleet out of
California, and have it anchored at Pearl Harbor. Admiral James
Richardson, the commander of the Pacific Fleet, expressed to Roosevelt
his strong opposition to putting the fleet in harm's way. He was
relieved of his command. Richardson later quoted Roosevelt as saying:
"Sooner or later the Japanese will commit an overt act against the
United States and the nation will be willing to enter the war."
Roosevelt and Churchill had already been working on a plan to get
America to enter the war in Europe. After the German ship Bismarck sank
the British ship, known as the Hood, Churchill suggested in April, 1941,
"that an American warship should find the Prinz Eugen (the Bismarck's
escort ship) then draw her fire, 'thus providing the incident for which
the United States would be so thankful' i.e., bring her into war." While
Roosevelt planned for such a provocation in the Atlantic, Hitler told
his naval commanders in July, 1941, to avoid confrontation with the
United States while his Russian campaign was in progress.
Joseph C. Grew used his post as the U.S. Ambassador to Japan to
encourage the Japanese to enter a state of military preparedness. They
were shipped steel scrap from the entire 6th Avenue Elevator Railroad of
New York. The Institute of Pacific Relations, through a $2 million
grant, funded communist spies who were to help induce the Japanese to
strike back at the United States.
Since then, it has become common knowledge that the attack was not the
surprise it was claimed to be. On January 27, 1941, Grew sent a telegram
to the Secretary of State to report the following: "The Peruvian
minister has informed a member of my staff that he heard from many
sources, including a Japanese source, that, in the event of trouble
breaking out between the United States and Japan, the Japanese intended
to make a surprise attack against Pearl Harbor." (Source: U.S.,
Department of State, Publication 1983, Peace and War: United States
Foreign Policy, 1931-1941, Washington, D.C.: U.S., Government Printing
Office, 1943, pp. 617-618)
In August, 1941, Congressman Martin Dies, Chairman of the House
Committee on Un-American Activities, collected evidence that the
Japanese were planning to attack Pearl Harbor. The Committee was in
possession of a strategic map, prepared by the Japanese Imperial
Military Intelligence Department that clearly indicated their plans to
attack Pearl Harbor. Dies was told not to go public with his
information. An Army Intelligence officer in the Far East discovered the
plan for the Pearl Harbor attack, and prior to the attack, sent three
separate messages to Washington detailing the plan.
Soviet agent Richard Sorge told the Russian Government in October, 1941
that "the Japanese intend to attack Pearl Harbor in the next 60 days,"
and received a response from his superiors that the information had been
passed onto President Roosevelt. Dusko Popov, a British double agent,
received information from Germany about Japan's plans, and passed the
information onto Washington. It was never acted on.
As early as 1944, Presidential candidate, New York Governor Thomas E.
Dewey, said that Roosevelt knew about the attack on Pearl Harbor, before
it happened. In documents declassified by the National Security Agency
in 1981, America had broken the Blue (diplomatic) and Purple (naval)
secret codes of the Japanese, knew all the details of the attack, and
the whereabouts of the Japanese fleet. From September, 1941, until the
attack itself, all Japanese communications had been intercepted and
decoded by American intelligence, and indicated an impending attack on
Pearl Harbor.
One transmission, from a fake weather report broadcast on a Japanese
short-wave station contained the words "higashi no kaze ame," which
means "east wind, rain," which the Americans already knew was the
Japanese code for war with the United States. Top military officials
denied that the "winds" message existed and attempted to destroy all
traces of its receipt.
Late in November, 1941, the following order was sent out to all U.S.
military commanders: "The United States desires that Japan commit the
first overt act." According to Secretary of War Stimson, this order came
directly from Roosevelt. According to Stimson's diary, 9 people in the
war cabinet, all the military people, knew about FDR's plan of
provocation.
The State Department knew on November 20th, that a naval force, which
included four of the largest Japanese aircraft carriers were heading
towards Hawaii, and this information was passed on to Pearl Harbor on
November 27th. However, the American base in Hawaii was not given this
information. Three days before the attack, Australian Intelligence
spotted the Japanese fleet heading for Hawaii. They sent a warning to
Washington, but it was dismissed by Roosevelt who said it was a
politically motivated rumor circulated by the Republicans.
On December 1, 1941, the head of the Far East Division of U.S. Naval
Intelligence wrote in his report to head of the Pacific Fleet: "War
between the United States and Japan will begin in the nearest future."
The Report never made it to the commander's desk, because it had been
'accidentally' detained by his superiors. Early in December, Army
Intelligence knew that the diplomats at the Japanese Embassy in
Washington had been ordered to destroy all codes, and to return to
Japan. Washington also knew that Japan had ordered all of its merchant
ships home, because they would be needed to transport soldiers and
supplies for the war. On December 5, Col. Sadtler from U.S. Military
Communications transmitted the following telegram to his superiors,
based on information he had received: "War with Japan will begin
immediately; exclude all possibility of a second Port Arthur." This
telegram never got to its destination.
In 1932, the U.S. Navy had conducted tests at Pearl Harbor which
indicated that it was vulnerable to an attack from sixty miles away
without being able to detect it. Admiral J. O. Richardson,
Commander-in-Chief of the Pacific fleet, wanted the fleet withdrawn to
the west coast of the United States, because they were inadequately
manned for war, and because the area was too exposed. It was not done.
In January, 1941, Richardson was relieved of his command. It was later
revealed that Roosevelt wanted him to create a naval blockade around
Japan, to provoke them into a response, so the United States could
declare war. He refused to do it, saying it was an act of war.
Besides knowing about the security weaknesses at the base in Pearl
Harbor, and having previous knowledge about the impending attack,
Roosevelt guaranteed a slaughter by ordering that the planes be grouped
in circles, with their propellers facing inward, because he claimed that
he wanted to protect them against 'acts of sabotage.' Rear Admiral
Robert A. Theobold, USN, Retired, author of The Final Secret of Pearl
Harbor, and Col. Curtis B. Dall, the son-in-law of FDR, in an interview
with Anthony Hilder for his book Warlords of Washington, admitted that
they knew about the Pearl Harbor attack before it occurred. Theobold,
the Commander of all the destroyers at Pearl Harbor, said in his book,
that Roosevelt knew about the attack 21 hours before it happened. So the
result of this positioning of the aircraft, made it difficult for them
to get out of the circle, and up in the air, because they didn't have a
reverse gear. Theobold wrote: "An incontestable fact in the true history
of Pearl Harbor is the repeated withholding from Admiral Kimmel and
General Walter C. Short (Navy and Army Command in Pearl Harbor) of
supremely important military information ... There's never been a case
in history when a commander was not informed that his country will be at
war within a few hours and that his forces will most likely become the
first object of attack at sunrise."
Theobold also cited the testimony of Admiral Harold Stark (head of Navy
Headquarters in Washington) who did not reveal Japan's de facto
declaration of war to Admiral Kimmel, and said he was acting on orders
from a "higher authority," referring to Roosevelt, because Marshall did
not outrank Stark. Marshall merely passed on the Roosevelt directive of
December 4th, which said that no communications could be sent to Pearl
Harbor, unless it was cleared by Marshall. On November 26, 1941,
Roosevelt had sent an ultimatum, insisting that the Japanese withdraw
all their troops. He refused any negotiations with Prince Konoye, the
Japanese Prime Minister, even though Joseph Grew (CFR member, and
Rockefeller agent), the Ambassador to Japan, said that such a meeting
would prevent war with the Japanese. The Japanese response from Tokyo to
the Japanese embassy, encrypted in the "purple code," was intercepted by
the Navy, decoded, and given to Roosevelt on the evening of December
6th. The thirteen-point communiqué revealed, that because of the intense
pressure of the economic sanctions, diplomatic relations with the United
States were being terminated at 1:00 PM Eastern time on Sunday, December
7th. For all intents and purposes, this was a declaration of war, and
upon reading it, Roosevelt said: "This means war." It was not passed
onto Pearl Harbor command, and it was at that time that the attack
began.
While FDR was pushing Japan into drawing first blood, he told the
American public in his famous campaign statement of 1940: "While I am
talking to you mothers and fathers, I give you one more assurance. I
have said this before, and I shall say it again and again and again:
Your boys are not going to be sent into any foreign wars." Then he said
later that he wouldn't send our boys to war unless we were attacked.
Lieutenant Commander Arthur McCollum worked for Naval Intelligence in
Washington and was the communications routing officer for FDR. All the
intercepted Japanese messages would go to McCollum, who would then route
them to Roosevelt. In October, 1940, he wrote a memo which contained the
basis for FDR's plan for provoking the Japanese into attacking at Pearl
Harbor. It was given to two of Roosevelt's closest advisors. The
memorandum revealed his sentiments that it was inevitable that Japan and
America were going to war, and that Germany was going to be a threat to
America's security. He said that American had to go to war, but he also
understood that public opinion was against that. So public opinion had
to be swayed, and Japan had to be provoked into attacking America. He
named eight specific suggestions for things that America should do to
make Japan more hostile towards us, ultimately pushing them into
attacking us. That would rally the country behind the war effort.
Because he was born and raised in Japan, he said that he understood the
Japanese mentality, and knew how they would react. This included moving
the Pacific fleet to Hawaii, and decimating Japan's economy with an
embargo. McCollum said: "If you adopt these policies the Japan will
commit an overt act of war." Although there is no proof that FDR
actually saw this memo, he ended up implementing all eight of McCollum's
points.
The Administration discovered that in 1941 a Japanese naval officer was
working at the Japanese consulate in Honolulu under an assumed name.
They followed him, and began to intercept his messages to Japan, which
enabled the Japanese to develop a timetable for the attack, and even
bomb plots. They never stopped him, and it enabled the Japanese to
prepare themselves for an attack against us.
Fleet Admiral Halsey wrote: "Our intelligence data spoke of a likely
attack by Japan on the Philippines or the Dutch East Indies. Although
Pearl Harbor wasn't excluded from discussion, everything relayed to us
pointed to other objects of attack. If we had known that the Japanese
were continually collecting detailed information about the exact
location and movements of our warships in Pearl Harbor (which is made
clear by intercepted reports), we naturally would have concentrated our
efforts on preparations to repel an attack on Pearl Harbor."
Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson, after meeting with the Roosevelt
administration on November 25, 1941, wrote in his diary: "The discussion
was about how we should maneuver to force the Japanese to fire the first
shot, while not exposing ourselves to too great a danger; this will be a
difficult task."
Admiral Husband E. Kimmel wrote in his memoirs: "It was part of
Roosevelt's plan that no warning be sent to the Hawaiian Islands. Our
leaders in Washington, who deliberately didn't inform our forces in
Pearl Harbor, cannot be justified in any way. The Pearl Harbor Command
wasn't informed at all about ... the American note of November 26, 1941,
delivered to the Japanese ambassador, which practically excluded further
negotiations and made war in the Pacific inevitable. The Army and Navy
Command in the Hawaiian Islands received not even a hint about
intercepted and deciphered Japanese telegrams which were forwarded to
concerned parties in Washington on the 6th and 7th of December, 1941."
The Pacific fleet had consisted of nine battleships, three aircraft
cruisers, and some smaller ships. The aircraft carriers, and the
smaller, more mobile ships, were moved prior to the attack, because
Roosevelt knew they would be needed for a war at sea. On November 28th
Fleet Admiral William F. Halsey (under Kimmel's command) sailed to Wake
Island with the carrier Enterprise, three heavy destroyers and nine
small destroyers; and on December 5th, the Lexington, three heavy
cruisers and five destroyers were sent to Midway, and the Saratoga went
to the Pacific Coast. The other battleships were considered dispensable,
because they had been produced during and prior to World War I, and were
viewed as old and obsolete. They were to be sacrificed. [And the sailors
were expendable.]
On December 7, 1941, the Japanese attacked the U.S. fleet at Pearl
Harbor, instead of attacking Russia, as they originally intended to do.
The 'sneak attack' gave Roosevelt a reason to direct the full force of
America's military might against Japan. The next day, Roosevelt asked
Congress to declare war on Japan: "We don't like it- and we didn't want
to get in it- but we are in it and we're going to fight it with
everything we've got." On January 1, 1942, the 25 allied nations who
went to war against Germany and Japan, signed a "Declaration by the
United Nations," which indicated that no one nation would sign a
separate armistice, and Gen. Douglas MacArthur was appointed as the
'United Nations Commander of the South Pacific,' becoming the
Commander-in-Chief of all armed forces in the Pacific Theater.
The attack on Pearl Harbor resulted in the deaths of 2,341 American
soldiers, and 2,233 more were injured or missing. Eighteen ships,
including eight battleships, two destroyers, two squadron minesweepers,
were sunk or heavily damaged; and 177 planes were destroyed. All of
this, just to create an anti-Japanese sentiment in the country, and
justify American action against Japan.
General George C. Marshall (Supreme Commander of the U.S. Army), and
Admiral Harold R. Stark (Supreme Commander of the U.S. Navy) in
Washington, testified that the message about the attack was not
forwarded to Kimmel and Short because the Hawaiian base had received so
many intercepted Japanese messages that another one would have confused
them. In truth, Marshall sat on the information for 15 hours because he
didn't want anything to interfere with attack. The message was sent
after the attack started. Internal Army and Navy inquiries in 1944 found
Kimmel and Short derelict of duty, but the truth was not revealed to the
public.
Two weeks before the attack, on November 23rd, Kimmel had sent nearly
100 warships from the Pacific fleet to, what turned out to be, the exact
location where Japan planned to launch their attack. Unquestionably, he
was looking to prevent the possibility of a sneak attack. When the
Administration learned of his actions, he was criticized for
"complicating the situation."
Eleven days after the attack, the Roberts Commission, headed by Supreme
Court Justice Owen Roberts, made scapegoats of Kimmel and Short, who
were denied open hearings, publicly ruined, and forced to retire. Short
died in 1949, and Kimmel died in 1968.
The most incredible of the eight investigations was a joint House-Senate
investigation that echoed the Roberts Commission. Both Marshall and
Stark testified that they couldn't remember where they were the night
the declaration of war had come in. A close friend of Frank Knox,
Secretary of the Navy, later said that Knox, Stark, and Marshall spent
most of that night with Roosevelt in the White House, waiting for the
bombing to begin, so they could enter the war.
According to historian John Toland, Marshall told his top officers:
"Gentlemen, this goes to the grave with us."
In 1995, a Department of Defense study concluded that "Army and Navy
officials in Washington were privy to intercepted Japanese diplomatic
communications ... which provided crucial confirmation of the imminence
of war."
The full extent of the deception came to the forefront with the
publishing of the book Day of Deceit: The Truth About FDR and Pearl
Harbor by Robert B. Stinnett, a retired Oakland Tribune photographer who
served in the Pacific during World War II. After retirement, he began
his investigation by interviewing former American military
communications personnel, and filing Freedom of Information requests
with the National Security Agency. For 17 years he gleaned through
volumes of previously classified messages which had been intercepted
from the Japanese.
Stinnett discovered that on November 25, 1941, Japan's Admiral Yamamoto
dispatched a radio message to the group of warships that would be used
to attack Pearl Harbor. It read, in part: "...the task force, keeping
its movements strictly secret and maintaining close guard against
submarines and aircraft, shall advance into Hawaiian waters, and upon
the very opening of hostilities shall attack the main force of the
United States fleet in Hawaii and deal it a mortal blow." From November
17th to 25th, the U.S. Navy intercepted 83 messages that Yamamoto sent
to his carriers.
This Pearl Harbor scenario was a repeat of the American battleship
'Maine,' which was 'sunk' by a Spanish mine in the port of Havana in
1898. The rallying cry of "Remember the Maine," was used to stir up
anti-Spanish hysteria in America to justify us declaring war on Spain.
Years later, when the ship was examined, it was established that the
hull had been blown out by an explosion from inside the ship.
So what did World War II accomplish for the Illuminati? With the
Japanese prepared to surrender in February, 1945, the war was prolonged
in order to destroy much of the industrial areas of Japan with a
devastating air attack of incendiary atomic bombs. This allowed the
ground to be cleared for the Illuminati to rebuild Japan with new
industries so they could use cheap labor to flood the American market
with cheaply manufactured goods. This would turn the United States into
a nation that consumed more than it produced, creating unemployment and
financial instability.
As stated previously, on the European front, the War enabled the
Russians to gain control of Eastern Europe, promoted Communism, paved
the way for the United Nations, and the creation of the nation of
Israel.
At a cost of about $400 billion, the War raised our National Debt to
$220 billion, and pushed us deeper into the clutches of the Illuminati's
international bankers. Because of all the intricate angles involved in
this conflict, it would not be an understatement to say that World War
II was probably the most costly event in American history. We may have
won, but, in the long run, we lost.
