On December 8 1941, the day after Pearl Harbor was attacked, Republican Congressman (R-N.Y.) Hamilton Fish made his maiden speech to the U.S. Congress. In it, he asked for the United States Declaration of War against Japan. Of the speech, he was later to say: ‘I am ashamed of that speech today, as I know now about President Roosevelt’s infamous war ultimatum that forced Japan’s leaders to fight.’
Fish also said, ‘Roosevelt’s ‘day of infamy’ has been turned into hypocrisy, deceit and ashes by the searchlight of truth on the causes, events and results of the war.’
The Republican Congressman went on to say: ‘Roosevelt was the main instigator and firebrand to light the fuse of war.’ ~ The Other Side of the Coin, Vantage Press, New York 1976.
The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor is now known as a Roosevelt clique set-up as the excuse the administration needed to justify America’s trade war on Germany and Japan. According to Curtis Dall, the historian Prof. Tansill wrote: ‘He (U.S. Foreign Minister Cordell Hull) and Franklin D. Roosevelt knew that Japan would reject this ‘program’ (ultimatum given to trade strangled Japan).
Henry Morgenthau’s assistant, Harry Dexter White had worked on the ultimatum’s wording. That same afternoon, November 26th 1941, American President Roosevelt sent a secret dispatch to British Premier Winston Churchill: ‘Talks broken off. Services expect hostilities within two weeks.’
There was no such thing as a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7 1941. America had already blockaded Japan and imposed an ultimatum on its prey that amounted to a Japanese surrender without a fight.
As a consequence Pearl Harbor was inevitable, a sprat to catch the mackerel. The launching of the Japanese fleet and its movements was known beforehand, thanks to decoded messages, as were its intended targets and timing. Eighteen U.S. ships were sacrificed as were 2,403 of their American crews and another 1,178 injured in the ‘surprise’ attack.
Colonel Charles A Lindbergh recounted an incident: ‘One of the passengers was a sailor who had been on Arizona when she was sunk (Pearl Harbor). He told me he couldn’t understand why we had been caught so completely unprepared at Pearl Harbor because our ships had been dropping depth bombs on enemy submarines several days prior to the Japanese attack and that we had been ordered to be on the alert for torpedo wakes.’
The American ace flier went on to say, ‘Several naval officers have also told me that we dropped depth charges on a Japanese submarine prior to the Pearl Harbor attack.’
Winston Churchill later conceded that FDR (Roosevelt) ‘knew the full and immediate target of the enemy operation. U.S. President Roosevelt had in fact instructed the Director of the International Red Cross to make preparations for high casualties at Pearl Harbor because he had no intention of fending off or resisting the potential attack’.
To the Director’s question, why not? He replied: ‘The Americans would never agree to join in a European war unless they were attacked within their own borders first.’
The official American declaration of war on Japan on December 8th 1941 was the generally recognised, justified consequence of this ‘underhanded surprise attack.’
On the same day that the U.S. declared war on Japan, England declared did too. As a consequence, it meant the capitulation of the British Empire’s territories and interests in the Far East, which had been considerable. The United States stepped into the footprints left by the departing British troops of Empire.
‘Japan was provoked into attacking the United States at Pearl Harbour. It is a travesty of history to say that America was forced into the war.’ – Oliver Lyttleton, British Minister of Production to the American Chamber of Commerce, London June 20, 1944. ~ Michael Walsh.

pretty much every war in American history was started by false flags.
Civil War-the North (Lincoln) forced the South into a posiiton where they had to respond aggressiveyl. In fact, the Southern state leaders were in DC at the time discussing how to break away and pay for the federal assets that were in the Confederacy so anything the Norht ‘owned’ was not in the South anymore. Lincoln wanted war. The South leaving was a huge chunk of tax revenue leaving.
Spanish-American War; William Randolph Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer helped make the illusion that the Spanish blew up the USS Maine parked in the Havana Cuban harbor.
WWI-we were told Germany wanted to invade the USA and that Germans were ‘eating Belgian babies and shooting Red Cross nurses”
WWII-the Japanese warned US leaders a year before the attack that they were going to attack. FDR wanted to win reelection and get America out of the Depression, so a war was the way to go. Germany did not need a war-England and America did. In fact, we are not allowed to question the real reason WHY Hitler got into power and that he was trying to destroy communism.
Then Korean War/Vietnam-we were told they were to stop communism spreading, yet we destroyed the Germans and Japanese (both nations were trying to eradicate communism)
Then the wars in the Middle East for the past 20 years are all and still based on lies.
Now they want us to believe Russia is a threat and that open borders for USA and Europe are good.
It insults me that they think we’re that stupid to keep believing their lies.

The problem is that far too many people still believe all the lies. Just look at the comments about Ukraine, Belarus, Syria etc,
