According to my father, it was scuttlebutt that FDR was goading the Japanese by sanctions into making the first overt move, to justify getting into a war. His primary objective was to join with Great Britain against Germany. They had expected such an attack against the Philippines (which indeed happened), but not against Hawaii. It was either providential or planned that the aircraft carriers had been sent out of port. I've read General MacArthur's memoirs; he does not mention being specifically warned of an impending attack. The commanders in Hawaii (Adm. Kimmell and Gen. Short) were blindsided, castigated, court-marshaled, but finally vindicated and cleared.
Very similar to Woodrow Wilson's connivance to get us into World War I.
The scholastic infiltration had begun, but had not blossomed. I've seen several of my father's schoolbooks. They were what now would be considered college level. There is a whole other story about the downgrading of secondary education resulting from the popularization of attending college.
Yep , as I said the rot is old and deep. And those that wrote the constitution ,like jesus knew it would come to this.
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, and against the worldly governors, the princes of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness, which are in the high places. ---Ephesians 6:12 -- 1599 Geneva
Yes, I'm aware of Benjamin Franklin's quotation. But what is your point? You are telling me a lot of old news. This is like reading elementary arithmetic. Just out of curiosity, were you reading JBS publications in the 1960s? Or keeping tabs on the Clinton administration through Accuracy In Media? I was. GAW congratulates itself for being what it is (fair enough), but it stands on the shoulders of others who were earlier.
WTF , I rest my case. Reading comprehension proven.
Stay well , rough rider.
