Being in the military and studying history as a hobby. I knew back in the mid-90s after studying about the Japanese Imperial Fleet attacking Pearl Harbor. The lead up to the attack is what did it for me. The US was pushing for the Japanese to attack us. The illogic of the Japanese attacking the US made no sense, until you figure out why they took that risk. They were baited into it. The only ships in port were considered obsolete. The rest were deployed to some "excercise" in the North Pacific. The radar towers in the north western islands detected the incoming fleet and reported it. The report went all the way back to DC, but no notice was given to Pearl Harbor. Fisherman also radioed the incoming Fleet in advance, but still no warning. Fast forward to the Gulf of Tonkin incident that got us committed to Vietnam. There was no Gulf of Tonkin attack on a Navy vessel. It was a false flag. Fast forward to Anthrax vaccine in the late 90's. Needless to say, I didnt take that couple of shots. I refused back then while in active duty. I refuse now, because after working for the DoD since the early 90's all the way till today, I know not to trust my own government. It is sad, some of us our true Patriots, but we don't rise to the top. We are the boots on the ground. I do not obey illegal orders. The Bill of Rights and the Constitution are my guiding laws. No order can supercede them.
I wouldn't say forcing Japan to attack us is a conspiracy. We were practically doing it openly. I think we knew we were going to war with Germany and we wanted the Japanese to be buisy at their home front.
(It doesn't line up that way, we didnt know we were going to war with Germany. Not publicly. I think we did on a classified level.)
We might of had our asses handed to us if Japan and Germany were more united.
Japan was also commiting war crimes on the enterty of Asia at the time. I would have embargoed them too. (And I love Japan)
I would say choosing to attack Germany over Russia may have been a bad move. That whole ww2 scenario, to me, is where the conspiracies lie. (Not a nazi sympathizer, I just agree with Patton.)
However, I think the reasoning even for that was because Japan was terrifying. We could handle Russia in the aftermath more than a Fascist Europe partnered with Imperial Japan & a concored Asia.
Instead we got contents freed from 1000s of years of imperalism. Fighting over the choice to become communist or democratic. Easier for us to mold that way.
Before Veitnam, I think we still had a good core.
They definitely killed JFK so we could invade Veitnam tho. Things certainly went downhill after WW2.
I live in Japan and teach English. I have talked to a few Japanese English teachers worth talking to about such things and they said that Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor was neither unprovoked nor a sneak attack. When I was in junior high, I enjoyed studying WWII and became fascinated with the Pacific Theater. I studied a lot about Pearl Harbor and much of what I learned was represented in the movie Tora Tora Tora. I suppose the movie passes it off as gross negligence, but you can tell that everyone was raising the alarms and that those alarms did not go past a certain level.
What is also interesting is how the banksters manipulated Japan into a war with Russia just a few decades before that. That war helped the commies take over, IIRC.
