The truth about Pearl Harbor

For long years, people believed that Pearl Harbor brought the U.S. into WWII.  It was in the 1970’s that talk began to circulate that FDR knew the attack on Pearl Harbor was coming; that he deliberately did nothing.

The documents, at the link above, tell the true story.

REPORT: Evidence Suggests FDR Let Pearl Harbor Happen to Force America into WWII

83 years ago yesterday, America was brought into war with what was described then, and has been described consistently since, as a “sneak attack” by Imperial Japan.

Then-President Franklin Roosevelt gave a speech on December 8th before Congress where he described it as a “Day of Infamy” where America was suddenly and deliberately attacked.

What Roosevelt failed to mention is that he knew the attack was going to happen, the government had received copious warnings about what was going to happen, and those warnings were not only ignored but steps were taken to facilitate the Japanese attack.

A series of events and factual matters strongly suggest that Roosevelt not only wanted war, but employed his top officials to help him in that effort.

The Chief of Naval Operations, Lt. Cmdr. Arthur H. McCollum wrote the eight-action-points-memo on Oct. 7, 1940 to try to get Japan to attack the United States first.

You can read the entire important McCollum memo about baiting Japan into war here. This memo was originally uncovered by historian Robert Stinnett (1924-2018) and published in his 1999 work, “Day of Deceit.” Here’s the key section:

On October 10, 1940, Roosevelt brought in his Pacific commanders and informed them that he sought to go to war with Japan quietly and with economics. This left them ‘amazed’ according to later testimony by Admiral James O. Richardson.

In the winter of 1940, an American doctor who spent decades in Korea ends up in Hawaii. While there, Koreans keep identifying Japanese military spies on the island. The doctor relates this to the military, who tells him that they know all about it already and not to worry.

On January 27th, the State Department’s Ambassador to Japan Joseph Grew learns that the Japanese plan, in case of a conflict with the United States, is to launch a sneak attack on Pearl Harbor.

Lt. Cmdr. McCollum dictates a memo to the CINC Pacific Fleet on February 1, 1941 that in case of a Japanese sneak attack, it will most likely happen at Pearl Harbor. Here’s the memo:

Adm. Richardson had been replaced in February 1941 because he was concerned that the Japanese would start a war by attacking the Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor. He was opposed to rehoming the fleet from the West Coast of America in San Diego to Pearl Harbor. He was replaced with Adm. Kimmel.

In May 1941, Japanese diplomats are caught telling the Brazilians that they will be at war with the Americans soon.

Gen. Short replaced Maj. General Albert M. Jones in June 1941, as responsible for the ground defense of the islands.

In late July the press is complaining that FDR has been subsidizing the Japanese war effort because Roosevelt is selling cheap oil and cheap steel to Japan. Roosevelt says he is doing this because if he were to cut these exports off, it would cause war with Japan. A week later, Roosevelt cuts off oil and steel to Japan.

On July 31st, Washington seized 19 Japanese fishing vessels that were spying around Hawaii.

In August Lloyd’s of London started selling “bombing insurance” in Hawaii. A week later, they stopped selling the insurance.

In August, the Konoe government of Japan was begging Washington for a peace treaty. They told Washington they would accept any terms and proposed a peace summit in Hawaii.

Roosevelt demurred and deflected, and the response was that Japan would have to first make humiliating concessions to Washington first.

These actions ultimately caused the collapse of the Japanese government on October 16th and empowered the militarists.

In October, Washington ordered all commercial traffic in the Pacific sea lanes to stop. By clearing the sea lanes, there was a clear path for the Japanese fleet to get to Pearl Harbor. They made it so that no commercial craft would inadvertently alert Pearl Harbor to the incoming attack.

But some did anyway, as reported by the Chicago Tribune:

In mid-October, a Hearst reporter is repeatedly urging Admiral Glassford, the head of the Asiatic Fleet, that the Japanese will attack on or after December 6th. Adm. Glassford takes this seriously enough to personally relocate himself and the reporter to Manila.
