Roosevelt was aware of the impending attack, because the US had cracked the Japanese code and was listening to their discussions. If you watched the video I posted, the US was even trying to get attacked by making their forces more vulnerable. Roosevelt certainly lied to the American people, because he was also forcing them, not only Japan, into war in which many of them and their loved ones would die.
Dear my respected senior, @valued-customer !
I guess Roosevelt was expecting a war between the United States and Japan!
But, I thought he didn't expect Japan to attack Pearl Harbor because he wasn't a god!
Imperial Japanese soldiers have long studied America's weaknesses and strengths.
They thought America's weakness was the distance between Hawaii and the Philippines!
So, the Japanese army attacked Hawaii and the Philippines simultaneously, and the American army collapsed.
I trust you don't think East Asians are less intelligent than white Americans because you're not a white supremacist!
Do you remember that Japanese scholars have been studying for 100 years to prepare for war with the United States?
I remember the strengths and weaknesses of America that the Japanese studied!
The Japanese won early victories over the Americans because they knew their strengths and weaknesses.
I hope you don't mind my awkward English!
Americans don't want war. The corrupt politicians do as they're told by banksters whom do very much want war, all the war they can get, because the more war there is the more profits they make. They make those profits on the corpses of the dead whom they have caused to die for money. They are traitors, implacable enemies of free and good people. Once Americans are in a war, of course they want to win. Who wants to lose a war? Nobody. What's the point of waging war, losing beloved friends and family in that hell, just to draw? No one wants to draw either.
American civilians opposed the US military's involvement in World War II and the Korean War. However, because Americans participated in the wars, Europe and Korea were saved from the brink of destruction.
Europe survived and is still alive today because half a million Americans died in the war.
The motives of Americans are immaterial. It is not Americans that manipulate nations and polities into war, nor Americans that will profit by selling belt buckles and boots, lending immense sums of counterfeit money at exorbitant interest to warring governments. It is the motives of banksters that are material regarding war, and they are purely evil through and through.
Each man is the king and has absolute authority over his realm, which is himself. Political leaders called kings have usurped that authority, and do not have it lawfully. None of them have any honor, as their entire edifice of power is fraudulent, the result of the basest lies and enslaving free men. The only worse vermin in the world than kings are their masters, banksters.
Do you think Rob with the shiny hair supports the banksters?
I remember Benjamin Franklin giving George Washington money he borrowed from European bankers so that America could win the war against Britain!
BENJAMIN FRANKLIN AND THE FRENCH WOMEN
Looking at Benjamin Franklin and the women of Europe, I thought he was not a Puritan at all!
I hope you don't mind my rude English!
Not so much. Because the wars were imposed by corrupt politicians that maneuvered their populations, millions died, and extraordinary destruction of civil infrastructure, political structure, and civil society ensued. There should not have been those wars at all.
All wars are banksters business and profit centers.
Dear my respected senior, @valued-customer !
I agree with you!
By the way, I remember Benjamin Franklin as a brilliant banker, currency issuer, journalist, and businessman!
Many East Asians, seeing his remarkable ability to accumulate wealth, believe he is the creator of American capitalism!
My dear @valued-customer !
Do you remember that Benjamin Franklin borrowed money from European bankers and gave it to the American Revolutionary Army?
Do you think the American Revolution would have been successful if Benjamin Franklin had not borrowed money from European banks?
I remember you saying that all the universities and banks in the eastern United States with a long history were founded by Europeans!
I hope you're not offended by the awkward English of American elementary school student!
I hope your health and long life!
The Masonic plot to create the USA could not have succeeded without Franklin's diplomatic prowess, as England had the most powerful military force on the planet at the time, and only focusing the ire (and assets) of her enemies on that rebellion enabled enough might to oppose that tyranny.
What is remarkable to me is that rebellion sparked a global, or at least European, revolution, or perhaps better described as an evolution, of governments into republics from monarchies over the following century. Franklin didn't just scrabble funds for American independence, but set the course of European transformation to liberal democracy that ensued.
Of course, Franklin didn't do that on his own, but used the Masonic covert society that had spread across the feudal imperium and covertly infested every fiefdom and principality. Because of this covert nature of most of the negotiations behind his successful diplomatic campaign, history has no record of most of the critical persons and sources of support contrived by Franklin. The reality is that Franklin sold the nascent Confederation of independent states in America (which was the form of the USA then envisioned) like a high class whore on a street corner to private fortunes as a business and profit generation scheme.
On that particular, America well delivered opportunity to dodge the parasitic nobility that then dominated European financial markets, enabling private capital to invest and avoid the burden of taxation. The 3% tax on tea that famously is claimed to have inspired American revolutionaries to dump tea into Boston Harbor was symbolic of the transformation of finance free enterprise offered the European fortunes.
