World War II: Japan tried many times to avert war with America
This is in answer to question from @james_f_lee No edit mind-dump at 0200 Saturday morning James, Roosevelt and others wanted war with Japan. I know this sounds crazy to a lot of folks. And pretty much all of us who are long-time Americans had family who fought in World War II. My family first shipwrecked in Bermuda in 1609, and finally made it to Jamestown in 1610. And so the list of wars is sort of a Forest Gump family-journey. I am supposed to hate Japanese due to Pearl Harbor. But I study.
And I know we are and were a victim of our own information war from our own government. And people like me are supposed to blame the Japanese and justify all that happened. But I don’t like bullshit. And the record on that war is as clear as what happened in Afghanistan. “Bullshit so high you needed wings to stay above it.” Our government lied to us about Japan and pushed Japan to attack us.
And Japan was fool enough to take the bait. Oh, they were not rash. The Japanese were not rash. They knew that attacking us, the Aussies, Brits, and Dutch, likely was suicidal. After all, Japanese knew or suspected we wanted them to charge at the cape: Hawaii. Hawaii was the cape. Roosevelt was matador. He pranced. Sword drawn. Up on his toes. The picador stuck Japan again and again. Come. Come closer. Dig your horn into our ships that were docked. The moment Japan rushed the cape, Roosevelt would go for the kill. There was no sneak attack. No more of a sneak attack than the bull who was pushed into the arena and tortured to attack had suddenly managed to sneak an attack. This was totally defensive. WE KNEW WITH 100% CERTAINTY THAT ATTACK WAS IMMINENT. Why were our ships all stacked up in Pearl Harbor despite that newspapers across America were warning of attack?
There was warning of attack at Pearl Harbor in the HEADLINES a WEEK in advance. These headlines after many headlines of Japan desperately trying to negotiate out of a war. When I have published these in years past, people said they were fake. They are real. Go to your library and check the microfiche. It’s all there. Check Newspapers.com. US Archives, or Library of Congress. Nothing is hidden. But it’s also not the accepted narrative. And then Americans still say today it was a sneak attack. This is a lie that cost millions of lives. Japanese realized we were the matador provoking the bull for a kill. But the Japanese ultimately had little choice. We shut off their fuel and other supplies. Their strength was dwindling. Japanese continued to try to negotiate but we continued to jab them. They were in pain and bleeding and Roosevelt strutted come and get it! Roosevelt wanted to kill Japan! And Roosevelt had to fool America that Japan suddenly and deliberately attacked us without warning. It was all a lie. After all, our country would not want to go attack someone who had not attacked us. Our people are good people. Roosevelt knew this. He knew we would not go fight for nothing. So he staged a fight. Agent Provacatuer in the White House. He fooled us! And many of our family members died!
We should have been killing Nazis, Communists, and Fascists, not Japanese! This is just literally a random article I pulled up from 09 June 1940. Random insofar as I typed in “Japan negotiations” and selected the year 1940 on Newspapers.com, and then selected a story at random. Don’t take my word for it. Invest a few weeks or months into this. I did. Many months and books. And spent a great deal of time looking at articles like this. There are more articles like this than most people have to read. Japanese constantly trying to negotiate. Constantly trying to head off war with United States. And in 1941, United States clearly, unambiguously, knew for a 100% fact that attack on Pearl Harbor was imminent. It’s right there in headlines across America a week before the attack that Japan was about to attack. Japan was at its wits end. Did not like the Nazis. Hated communists. Tonight, I am here in Vilnius, Lithuania, and earlier today photographed a plaque not far from my hotel in gratitude for Japanese Ambassador Chiune Sugihara who was saving Jews in Lithuania from Nazis. Sugihara is a hero. That’s right. Japanese here in Lithuania were saving Jews. And when Hitler wanted Japan to kill Jews, Japan refused. Angered Hitler. Japanese did not like Hitler or Nazis. Germany was ally of last resort. Japan wanted no war with America. Ask your Jewish friends about Sugihara. Ask Japanese. Some Japanese do not even know! Lithuanians seem to know. Japan hated the Nazis and the communists but Roosevelt was snuggled up with China. And China was running information operations on Japan just like they do today. Red Chinese were playing rice-bowl Christians and saying Japanese were Pagans and so forth. Americans back then — my own family line — bit very hard on this, and other tricks. Roosevelt had business interests in China. Roosevelt was making money. And good Americans saw Chinese as victims and were happy to help Chinese who were accepting salvation.
Roosevelt and the Chinese tricked American’s and our good hearts. China and Roosevelt pushed Japan to attack us. The Brits, Dutch, Canadians, and Aussies all were in on the game. We had every opportunity to ally ourselves with Japan and go after Nazis and Communists. But nobody wanted to help those uppity Japanese who would not read a Bible — especially not so when Japan was imperial competition and could just be erased. Even after Japan was on side during World War I, and all the western countries punished Japan for its World War I help on our side. We should have been allies with Japan. Jews would not need Israel today if we had wiped out the Nazis, Communists, and Fascists. We could have averted the Holocaust. But no. We fought Japan. Made allies of Communists against Nazis.
And now CCP is massively dangerous. We could have let the Nazis and Communists duke it out, and then mop the floor of them all when they were finished. And then countries like Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romanian…and a LOT more, never would have had to live like that. Cuba would not have been Communist. Venezuela would not have been poisoned. And so many others. But no. We fought Japan who hated Nazis and Communists, and we exhausted ourselves and let the Communists escape and grow. We screwed up on Japan just as badly as we screwed up in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan. If we had allied with Japan, we never would have fought in a Korean war to start with! Vietnam did not even want to be communists! We snubbed them, too. If I only had a time machine. In 1940, the biggest Embassy in D.C. would be.Japanese, and the biggest Embassy in Tokyo would be American. And we would have rid the world of Nazis, Fascists, and Communists. —-sorry for the no-edit mind dump. James had a question and I unleashed as best I can. Thank you for your support. I need it.
