Subject: Current events and our future
As we look back at history, we find that every time the U.S.
has entered into a major military adventure, that has been
enabled by a dramatic incident which aroused public
sentiment overwhelmingly in favor of military action.
These incidents have always been accepted at face
value when they occurred, but in every case we have
learned later that the incidents were highly suspicious.
And in every case, the ensuing military action served
some elite geopolitical design.
Consider for example the Gulf of Tonkin Incident, which
gave President Lyndon Johnson an excuse to begin major
escalation of the Vietnam War. Supposedly, in that incident,
a North Vietnamese boat launched torpedoes in an attempt
to sink an American warship. It is now generally accepted
by historians that the attack did not in fact occur, and that
Johnson had been preparing to escalate all along.
One of my correspondents on the Internet summarized the
situation this way:
"The U.S. Government lied to the American People about
the following events. Each of these incidents led the United
States into War....
"1898..THEY LIED about the sinking of the battleship Maine.
(Spanish American War)
1915..THEY LIED about the sinking of the ocean liner Lusitania
(World War I)
1941..THEY LIED about the attack on Pearl Harbor.
(World War 2)
1964..THEY LIED about the Gulf of Tonkin affair.
(Vietnam War)"
In the media coverage of the recent WTC attack, the
comparison with Pearl Harbor has been frequently raised.
Thousands of American troops were killed in the attack on
Pearl Harbor, and thousands of American civilians were
killed in the attack on the WTC. In both cases the
American people responded (quite understandably) with
deep shock and outrage. In both cases, overwhelming
public sentiment was for retaliation, and for giving the
President total support for whatever course he chose.
In 1941, as now, any suggestion that the U.S.
government knew in advance of the attacks, and could
have prevented them, would have been met by angry
disbelief by almost any American. Nonetheless, the
evidence now seems to favor the view that President
Franklin D. Roosevelt _did know about the impending
attack on Pearl Harbor, and that he could have mounted
an effective defense.
We now know that elite U.S. planners, during the period
1939-1941, had come to the conclusion that the Japanese
conquest of Asia had to be stopped. The planners determined
that Southeast Asia, in particular, was critical to U.S.
economic interests. But U.S. public opinion was
overwhelmingly against entering the war. It now seems
that FDR figured out a way to get the U.S. into the war,
and that Pearl Harbor was the key to his plan.
When the Japanese began to threaten Southeast Asia,
FDR froze Japanese assets in U.S. banks, resulting in a
cutoff of Japanese oil supplies. This was considered an
act of war by Japan, and Japanese retaliation was expected
by American planners. As the Japanese fleet approached
Pearl Harbor, intelligence services in Britain and the U.S.
evidently knew of that approach. Prime Minister Churchill
notified his Pacific commanders that the Japanese were
heading for Pearl Harbor. FDR, on the other hand, did not
notify his commanders. Instead, he sent the most strategic
ships (the aircraft carriers) out to sea where they would be
safe, and instructed key observation outposts on the island
of Kauai to stand down.
It seems that FDR intentionally set the stage for a 'surprise'
attack - shocking the nation and instantly shifting public
opinion from non-interventionism to war frenzy. I am
suggesting that this same scenario must be considered in
the case of the recent WTC and Pentagon attacks.
Unbelievable as this may seem, this is a scenario that
matches the modus operandi of U.S. ruling elites. These
elites show callous disregard for civilian lives in Iraq,
Rwanda, Yugoslavia, and dozens of other places around
the world. Is it so surprising that they would sacrifice a few
thousand American civilians if they considered that
necessary in order to pursue their geopolitical objectives?
