To make sense of my six postings about the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, I urge you to scroll down to daily Blog Archives and start with the December 3rd posting.
As you have no doubt deduced, I feel there is very strong evidence from a great many sources which indicate President Roosevelt and his top civilain and military people knew in advance of the pending Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.
True, we lost more than 2,200
people in the attack, mostly
military. Also true we
permently lost one battleship,
one destroyer, and seven
battleships were knocked out of
action for a one to two year
period.
Despite these tragic losses, there
were very plus consequences for
allowing the attack to take it's
tragic toll. First of all, the
public opinion of the people of
the United States did a complete
about face. By an overwhelming
majority, they supported the
Roosevelt administration in
carrying out an all out war effort.
Second, they were successfu in
getting Germany and Italy to
declare war against us. This
relieved the United States from
having to make the first overt
move.
Third, we were now completely
free to help both the British and
the Soviet Union in waging war
against the axis nations as well
as China. This timely help did,
without any doubt in my mind,
save all three countries from
being defeated by the axis
countries.
The ultimate plust was we, along
with other countries of the free
world, were able to defeat all
three axis countries.
So maybe, probably, it is safe to
say the actions the Roosevelt
administration took to insure the
Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor
woud be a disaster for the United
States was completely justified.
I sometimes wonder if they couldn't
have given orders for some of our
more modern battleships to return
to the west coast for modifications.
If four of these had been saved and
been available for immediate use,
perhaps we would not have gone
through more seven months of
almost constant defeat before being
able to turn around the steady
march of Japanese forces across the
Pacific.
But then, to have done so, might have
raised suspicians in the minds of the
American people the Roosevelt top
people knew in advance about the
pending attack. With that kind of
thinking, it may have been much
harder to rally the country into an
all out effort for revenge.

Wrap up of Pearl Harbor Attack
Wednesday, December 5, 2007
December 7, 1941,Pearl Harbor Day
In order to make sense of these posts dealing with the December 7th, 1941
attack on Pearl Harbor and Hickam Field, I urge you to scroll down until
you come to daily 'Blog Archives' and click on December 3 posting first, then on to December 4, 5, 6 and then read today's posting.
Today is the 66th anniversary of the
so called sneak attack on Pearl Harbor
by Japanese naval aircraft.
That morning was Sunday morning. Life
on the Pearl Harbor naval base and at
Hckam Field had gone on as usual.
No one appeared to have given a thought
there was a possibility of any attack by
Japanese forces. This was not by accident.
Washington had done everything possible
to get the military people in a relaxed mood.
The only two things they had been warned
about was the possibility of sabotage of
military aircraft parked at Hickam Field.
This threat had been taken care of by
parking the aircraft close together to make it easier to protect them.
A radar station located near Pearl Harbor
was on duty that morning. Shortly before
eight o'clock they called their reporting
station to report a large number of what
appeared to be aircraft, approaching the
island. A young lieutenant, his first day
on this particular job, took the call. He
had been informed about the incoming
squadron of B17's expected at that very
time, from the states. He told the radar
crew not worry about their radar sighting,
that it was just a flight of B-a7's. He then
told them, as he had been instructed, they
could close up their radar station and go
off duty, which they did. The aircraft
were not Amercan B-17's. They were,
in fact, Japanese naval aircraft on their
way to torpedo and bomb US battleships
and airplanes.
A half hour earlier, a destroyer escort
reported sighting a Japanese sub near
the entrance to the inlet to Pearl Harbor
and had made a depth charge run on it.
This report did not reach higher authorities until several hours after the attack from the air.
A few minutes before 8 that morning the attack
began. Part of the Japanese air fleet attacked
Hickam Field and succeeded in destroying
almost the entire 200 plus aircraft parked
closely side by side across the field.
The battleships at anchor in the harbor were
the main targets of the rest of the Japanese
air fleet. The Arizona was sunk, never to rise
again. All of the other seven battleships were
hit by bombs and torpedoes. Some were sunk,only to be raised and put back into action later. Some were just badly damaged. One, the Nevada, was able to get underway and almost made it out of the harbor, but thenwas ordered to beach itself to keep from getting sunk and blocking the harbor entrance. It, and all the other remaining ships, except the Arizona, were back in action
within one to two years. Several played a key
role in the battle of the Philipines, helping to
destroy almost an entire Japanese fleet.
More than 2200 naval and army air corp
personel were killed during the attack the
attack on Pearl Harbor.
The attack on Pearl Harbor was touted as an
unprovoked sneak attack by the dastardly
Japanese. The American public bought this
slant and turned their frustration and anger
against the Japanese empire and the Japanese
people.
One December 8, 1941, President Roosevelt
urged congress to declare war against Japan,
which they did, with one opposing vote.
Two days later Germany, and then Italy,
declared war against the United States.
President Roosevelt had been successful in
his endeavor to get Germany to declare war
against us.
I don't expect you to take my word on this
chain of events. I only hope I have stirred
your curiosity enough for you to do some
research on your own.

Part IV, Two Days Prior to Attack on Pearl Harbor
To understand the sequence of 
events which took place leading up to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, I urge you to scroll down to daily "Blog
Archives" and click on the December
3 posting, then the 4th and then
today's posting on the 5th.
In order for a Japanese attack to be serious enough to turn around public opinion against our entering the war raging around the world, it was necessary for it to be very successful.
The Roosevelt top people took
a number of measures to insure this. They seemed certain the attack would be against our bases in Hawaii.
The first measure was to get our two
aircraft carriers out of Hawaiian waters.
We couldn't afford to lose these in any
sneak attack.
One was ordered back to the west coast
for some refitting. The other carrier was ordered to deliver fighter aircraft
to Midway. Neither of these missions was
essential at this particular time. In fact,
with an attack by Japan almost a
certainty, it would have made far more
sense for them to be cruising in the
waters of Hawaii to provide air protection
to the air and naval bases on Oahu,
Hawaii.
A second measure was an order from
Washington for a squadron of B-17
bombers to take off from the west coast
at a given time on the night of December
6th. They were ordered to take a route
which would bring them in from the
north side of the island of Oahu at
around eight o'clock Ohau time on the morning of December 7. This timing
was to be very important for the
success of the Japanese surpise
attack.
These two orders were mighty peculiar
considering the circumstances but they
were not the only unusual orders issued
to the military brass from Washington.
Both the navy and air corp on Oahu
were ordered to cease all patrols to the
north and northwest of Oahu and
concentrate their surveillance to the
west and south west. One look at a map
of the Pacific would strongly suggest
any Japanese fleet coming from Japan
to attack military bases on Oahu would
approach from the north west. As a result
of this order, there were no US ships nor
airplanes patrolling that part of the
Pacific.
A couple of days before December 7th,
Washington sent word to the top brass
in Hawaii the Japanese fleet was sailing
south and was expected to attack the
Philippines. Therefore, the Hawaiian Islands were in no danger of attack by the
Japanese fleet. However, they were warned
to be on the watch for Japanese submarines
which had been spotted in the area. Perhaps
because of this warning of Japanese
submarines, the Admiral of the Pacific fleet
kept his capitol ships, the eight battleships
and numerous cruisers, anchored closely
together in Pearl Harbor. One of the
battleships was in drydock.
Now this was also very curious. The top
people in Washington knew the exact day
and time the Japanese fleet set sail. They
knew the speed the fleet would be traveling.
Even a rank amateur could figure out from
the time of the fleet setting sail to December
5th, they would have had time to reach the
Indian Ocean. They would have arrived for
an attack on the Philippines several days
earlier. It would also have been very easy
for a naval navigator, or almost any rank
amateur, to figure out where the fleet would
be on the morning of December 7th, if they were heading east. It would not have taken
a lot of brains to figure out the best day and time of day to launch a surprise attack on
US military bases on Oahu would be early
on a Sunday morning.
The notice from Washington informing the
military people in Hawaii of the expectant
attack on the Philipines also warned them to
be on the watch for sabotage of US army air
corp aircraft by local Japanese civilians.
Because of this warning, the air corp commander ordered his people to group the aircraft close together in nice, straight lines which would be easier to protect. It didn't seem to occur to him it would also make it much easier for attacking aircraft to wipe out our air fleet. But then, why should he
have been concerned about this possibliy
when he had been informed by Washington
there would be no air attack against Oahu.
For several days our top people in Washington
were receiving reports from numerous sources
from around the world, from Britain, Australian
and New Zealand governments, from Sinapore
and from several civilian ships at sea. All these
urces were reporting picking up ship to ship
radio transmissions from Japanese war ships
along a line from Japan to a direct line north of
Oahu. Ship to ship communications normally
have a very short range. Sometimes the
atmospheric conditions can be just right so
this type of communication can be carried
for very long distances.
All the information I have listed up to this
point have been reported in numerous articles in the World War II, American Heritage and Readers Digest magazines, numerous documentaries on the History channel, the Discovery channel and even an ABC documentary.

Part III, President Roosevelt's Options
To make sense of today's posting, I urge you to scroll down to the daily 'Blog Archives' and click on the December 3rd posting.
As I noted in yesterday's posting,
President Roosevelt had several options
to try and force Germany to declare war
against this county.
Great Britain was placing very large orders of food, oil, raw materials and war productsfrom this country but German U boats were sinking large numbers of the ships hauling this material to the British Isles.
To help Great Britain counter this German effort to stop the flow of goods from the United States and Canada, President Roosevelt issued two orders. One was to turn over 50 WWI destroyers to Britain.
The other was to order our destroyers to escort the British convoys as far as
Greenland. He knew Germany would find these moves provocative but I have no doubt he welcomed that attitude. Germany might even feel provoked enough to declare war against the United States. During this period several of our destroyers were torpedoed and one and one was sunk, resulting in the loss of many American naval personnel. But Germany did not feel provoked enough to declare war
against this country.
Roosevelt's other option was to attempt to take advantage of the axis agreement in which, if one of the three members of the axis
agreement was attacked or if war was dedeclared against that country, the other two countries would declare war against the country which had
attacked or declared war against their
axis partner.
Since it was Germany President Roosevelt was trying to force into declaring against us, Japan seemed the logical country to try and
provoke into attacking this country. It wouldn't be enough to provoke a minor attack. It had to be a devastating attack which would turn the people in the United States toward revenge.
How to do this?
The first action President took was to order a stop to the shipment of all scrap metal and oil from this country to Japan. The second was to order an embargo of oil and raw materials from any source to Japan.
These actions were enough to be greatly
provocative. The Japanese were very dependent on these sources of of raw materials. They were sure to try and obtain their own
sourcesthrough conquests. But the president and his advisors felt these
measures might not be enough to provoke
Japn into attacking us.
To further provoke the Japanese further,
President Roosevelt ordered two small
civilian boats, one a sail boat and the other
an old yacht which the United States had
taken possession of, to be commissioned and outfitted for a mission. These two boats were to be manned by US Navy sailors. The crews were given orders to sail into the
waters close to Japanese ports in the
south Pacific to spy on the ports and
issue reports back to Hawaii by radio.
The hope was this act would provoke
the Japanese government enough to
cause them to declare war against the
United States. We would then
reciprocate by declaring war against
Japan. Germany would then declare
war agains us.
The president and his people were well
aware these orders would result in suicide missions for the crews of the two
boats. In fact, the naval people in Hawaii
and the members of the crew were also
aware they were being sent on a suicide
mission. Both boats set sail around the
first part of December but were recalled
very shortly after setting sail when the
top people in Washington realized the
missions would be unnecessary. By this
time they were aware the main Japanese
fleet had set sail from their home ports and were rendezvouing for their big mission.
The Roosevelt administration was getting
reports from a numerous sources Japan
was going to launch a surprise attack
against the United States . At first they
did not know where but this was to
change over the next several days because of
reports coming in from various places which
were to confirm what direction the Japanese
fleet was sailing.

Part II, Events Leading Up to Pearl Harbor
Harbor posting, I urge you to scroll
down to my daily 'Blog Archives' and
click on the December 3 posting.
To make sense of many of my other
postings, scroll down to the same
place and start by clicking on my
first posting, in September, 2007.
Today I am going to talk about some
of the events leading up to Pearl
Harbor. None of the events which
took place on Pearl Harbor day,
December 7th, 1941 and the following
days without knowing what led up
to those days.
On September 1, 1939 Hitler's troops
marched into Poland. Two days later
Great Britain declared war on Germany.
Poland was conquered within a few
weeks. In the spring of 1940 German
troops attacked Denmark and Norway, followed by the invasion of Holland, Belgium, and France. Within a few
weeks all these countries were defeated
and occupied by German forces.
Hitler then directed his attention on
defeating Great Britain, starting with
an all out bombing effort, first against
her shipping and air fields, then switching
to civilian targets.
In the fall of 1940, Germany, Italian
and Japan signed an agreement in which
each agreed if any one of the three were
attacked or war declared against them
by any country, the other two would declare war against that country.
In the spring of 1941 Italy and Germany
attacked and conquered Greece. British
forces were being soundly defeated in
North Africa by the German and Italian
military forces.
Then, in June, Germany attacked the
Soviet Union and scored one great victory
after anther against this new foe. By
late summer it appeared the Soviet Union
would not last into the winter.
By the spring of 1941 the situation looked
very bad for Great Britain. Winston
Churchill, British prime minister since the
preceding summer, knew Great Britain
didn't stand much of a chance for survival
without the help of the United States. He
began badgering President Roosevelt to
declare war on Germany. At that time the
United States was ill prepared for getting
directly involved in a war. In addition to
having a poorly trained, poorly equipped
army and air corp, and an inadequate the population of the United States was dead
set against our getting invloved in a
European war. Polls continually showed an 80 t0 85 per cent opposition to our getting into the war.
President Roosevelt knew, if he pressured
Congress to declare war against Germany,
he probably would not survive his current
term of presidency. What was he to do?
He was well aware if he left Churchill, and
Great Britain, to fight Germany and Italy
by themselves, they would soon be defeated.
This would leave Germany free to march into
the middle east oil countries, on down into
Africa and would be able to conquer the entire
continent in very little time.
Also they would be free to turn east from the
middle east and conquer India, and then link
up with Japanese forces in the south Pacific.
Once Africa was under Germany's control, they
would more than likely move across the Atlantic
and conquer those countries of South America
From there it would be a simple matter to move
north and attack first, Central America and then
United States and Canada. With the resources
of most of the world behind them, it was most
likely the axis forces, Germany, Italy and Japan,
would have very little trouble defeating both
the United States and Canadaand would then
With this type of reasoning, it was not hard for
President Roosevelt, and his advisors, to
conclude the only way out of this delima was
to get Germany to declare war again the United
States. How to do this? In tomorrow's posting
I will explore the options available to the
President.

Pearl Harbor, facts and fiction, Part I
days, I am going to write about all the
myths surrounding 'The Surpise Attack
on Pearl Harbor'.
I grew up in a household during the
1930's and 40's which believed President
Roosevelt walked on water. All our
sources for news were from liberal sources
so we took everything we were fed by
the Roosevelt administration as the
gospel. This was true of much of the
nation.
First of all, I am going to say flat out,
the attack on Pearl Harbor was not a
surprise attack to the Washington
top administration and military
personal, including President Roosevelt.
Over the past 20 years or so, there have
been a great many articles in various
magazines and TV documentaries
pointing out all the proof showing these
people were well aware of the pending
attack.
Tomorrow I am going to go into the
reasons why the top administration
people were keeping their knowledge
a secret, especially to those who would
have benefited the most by revealing
their knowledge of the pending attack,
the people of Hawaii, the crews on
board the various capital ships and the
air corp ground personal. The top brass
of both the navy and the air corp would
have benefited the most with this
knowledge but it was kept from them
for a very important reason. Over the
next few days I will go into these, along
with all the information the top Washington
people had, which would have had the
affect of preventing the attack and wiping
out the Japanese fleet if it had been
indulged to the right people.
