TODAY’S WATCH
“LET’S REMEMBER PEARL HARBOR?”
As your nations head for (set up) Nuclear War I–WW III, I am appalled at that which I witness. All attention focused, or efforted to have it be, on Pearl Harbor where men memorialize their comrades and even the “President” goes to inflict his cheap rememberings. Will he remember the men trapped in his burning plane when he abandoned it–in that war of wars–this plane called the “Barbara”? What will happen this day in more strategic parts of your globe while you celebrate the past LIE?
The best write-up of Pearl Harbor, in my humble estimation, is given quite briefly by one Dr. John Coleman. The LIBERATOR, I believe, has already printed portions of it a while back. Since the greatest, in my estimation, complement I can offer a man is to have the Hosts of God choose your material for the annals of history–I ask to give another’s outlay. This will give honor to a good writer/journalist who gets plenty of respect from his own “paper” but not nearly enough in the overall presentation unto mankind. His name is Mike Blair and he writes mostly for The Spotlight. In fact, copies of that which I am going to have Dharma reprint can be obtained in individual segment form from The Spotlight. I ask that we reprint this with full acknowledgement to Spotlight for two reasons: 1) I honor any paper or any man who will speak truth in the face of death threats and closure; 2) there are some errors in the story and I do not wish to take the time or space to set them to “right” because they are of no overall intent to be misleading by the authors.
Before I do this, however, I am going to ask to have printed a letter from the General Manager of Sovereign Press, Washington state, Mr. Kirk Damman, to the Chief Executive Officer, PHOENIX LIBERATOR. I take this time because I have in my possession several documents which knowingly have been printed by this “press” and have received some documents from readers who evidently received their information from this press. I have become aware of many of you trying to call this business and cannot seem to locate these individuals, although by mail–most have had response in a most efficient manner. The letter will speak for itself and then I shall respond. Thank you.

PEARL HARBOR DAY–(1941)
Is this an important day? Indeed–it is my grandson’s birthday remembrance! Historically? It is a day of shame and lies which cost thousands of lives–deliberately.
Dharma, please reproduce this article as nearly perfectly as you can without a scanner because I desire this man have full credit–although I wonder if the people who worked so diligently with him as resource, will have the same honor. Most have to work “unknown” for protection–those are the ones I so greatly honor; those who serve silently because it “is the right thing to do and the cost simply must be paid for truth”. Blessings are unto those ones.
Is THIS the most important thing we could write about today? NO, NO AND NO. But it is something we must again present to you because you get lost in the hoopla of the celebrations and forget the TRUTH!

AN IN-DEPTH LOOK AT–PEARL HARBOR, 1941-1991
DECEMBER 7, 1941 UNFORGETTABLE
BY: MIKE BLAIR, EXCLUSIVE TO THE SPOTLIGHT, Dec. 9 EDITION, 1991.
Capsule prolog: As the nation pauses to recall the 50th anniversary of Japan’s sneak attack on Pearl Harbor in Hawaii, it is now more important than ever to examine how the United States was finally plunged into World War II. Even Establishment historians now concede Franklin Roosevelt had been actively scheming to involve America in the conflict, despite the clear-cut view of the American people they wanted their country to remain at peace.
Now, in this special SPOTLIGHT OVERVIEW, investigative reporter Mike Blair provides evidence not only of FDR’s secret machinations to provoke a Japanese attack on the United States, but of the fact that lives of American servicemen had been sacrificed to the “cause” before the first bomb began falling on Battleship Row.
Truth, the “infamy” occurred long before that sleepy Sunday morning in Hawaii.
At about 7:50 a.m. on December 7, 1941, the first of 350 Japanese carrier-based dive bombers and torpedo planes slipped through Kolekole Pass, the picturesque, saddlelike trough through the Waianae Mountains west of Pearl Harbor, and commenced their attack on the massive U.S. naval base nestled in the deep water of the harbor.
Thus began what President Franklin Roosevelt had wanted since his friend Winston Churchill and the British government had gone to war with Germany in 1939–a reason to place in harm’s way the lives of 16-plus million young American servicemen during what would become World War II.
Nearly four bloody and ghastly years after Pearl Harbor, Europe and much of the Far East lay in ruin and millions were dead, including 407,316 of those young U.S. military personnel.
Most Americans alive today were not yet born that Sunday morning in December, when our nation learned Pearl Harbor had been attacked. But everyone is aware of “Remember Pearl Harbor”, the slogan that launched America into the war through books, magazines and such Hollywood epics as Tora! Tora! Tora!
The statistics of the attack are clear: 2,403 Americans dead; another 1,178 wounded in varying degrees; 188 aircraft destroyed on the ground and 18 U.S. warships destroyed or gravely damaged, including eight battleships.
Two of those dreadnoughts, Arizona and Utah, still rest in the mud at the bottom of Pearl Harbor, memorials to those who lost their lives.
Every year, an estimated 1.4 million people visit the Arizona Memorial, taking a seven-minute voyage across Pearl Harbor to gaze down at the wreckage, where 1,177 young American sailors still remain entombed. Oil from the ship’s fuel bunkers still discolors the blue Pacific waters as it oozes to the surface.
NO ANNIVERSARY
This December 7 is being called the “50th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor”. But this really isn’t the case. Anniversaries are days for celebration; this December 7 is a day to, yes, “Remember Pearl Harbor”, but now, 50 years later, it is also time to put this tragedy in its proper context.
There are many stories about American heroism at Pearl Harbor that should be remembered.
It is unfortunate no one can remember the name of the young engineer on the cruiser San Francisco, who rushed topside during the attack, telling an ensign, “Thought I’d come up and die with you”.
Nor can anyone seem to recall the name of the young bridge commander on the Ramapo, who shot at Japanese airplanes with his .45-caliber Colt pistol, or the boatswain’s mate, who, without any sort of firearm available to him, threw wrenches at low-flying aircraft.
Nor, after the archivists have now revealed the truth, should it be forgotten the Army and Navy at Pearl Harbor, were each at their lowest level of alert when the Japanese struck. Only 25 percent of the base’s anti-aircraft guns were manned.
One-third to one-half of all naval officers were ashore. Radar was only operated from 4 to 7 am. American bombers and fighter aircraft were conveniently parked in bunches at Hickam and Wheeler airfields, making them easy targets for the attacking Japanese bombers.
It should be remembered, as recalled by James G. Stahlman, a close friend of then Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox, what Knox had told him: that he–along with Secretary of War Henry Stimson, Army Chief of Staff Gen. George C. Marshall, Navy Chief of Staff Adm. Harold R. Stark, FDR’s top aide Harry Hopkins and the President himself–spent most of the night of December 6-7 at the White House.
They were waiting for what they knew was coming, as the military command at Pearl Harbor unwittingly stood at its lowest level of alert.
A WARNING
“Did you receive our dispatch the night before the attack?” Knox asked Adm. Husband E. Kimmel, the U.S. naval commander at Pearl, when he (Knox) arrived at the devastated base on December 10. Kimmel replied he had not.
Knox wrote in his original report to Roosevelt: “The Army and Navy commands had received a general war warning on November 27, but a special war warning sent out by the War Department at midnight (Eastern time), December 7 to the Army was not received until some hours after the attack on that date”.
Noted historian and author John Toland asked in his book about the Pearl Harbor attack, Infamy, “Had someone in the White House intercepted that midnight warning to Hawaii without Knox’s knowledge”?
Gen. Albert C. Wedemeyer, a staff officer of U.S. Army Chief of Staff Gen. George C. Marshall, told Toland that at a meeting in 1943, Vice Adm. Conrad E.L. Helfrich of the Royal Netherlands Navy expressed wonder at how the American military could have been surprised at Pearl Harbor. The Dutch officer told Wedemeyer the Dutch military had broken the Japanese military codes and knew Pearl Harbor was to be attacked.
“[Helfrich] seemed surprised I did not know this,” Wedemeyer said, “and when I explained I doubted seriously this information was known in Washington prior to the Pearl Harbor attack, Adm. Helfrich was skeptical because it was his clear recollection his government had notified my government”.
DELIBERATE PROVOCATION
British historian John Costello relates in his book THE PACIFIC WAR that Churchill and Roosevelt were engaged in deliberately provoking the Japanese to attack.
A Churchill cable to Roosevelt warned of “irrefutable proof of an impending attack”–“timed”, according to Churchill, “for the first week in December”.
A follow-up cable from Churchill queried, “Should we act or react”?
Was there still indecision among FDR and his advisers at the White House the night of December 6-7?
Costello noted that at a meeting in Argentina in August, 1941 Roosevelt had told Churchill he intended to become more provocative in his relations with the Japanese. “If the enemy doesn’t like that, they can just attack American forces”, Roosevelt told his British friend, and thus, the Japanese, FDR said, would be “forcing the issue”.
A FEW MORE DAYS
A few days before Pearl Harbor, Roosevelt told Churchill that America and Britain “should obviously all be in together”, and it “might be just a few more days until our support is given” to Britain’s war effort.
Elsewhere in this OVERVIEW, FDR’s attempts to provoke Japan are noted.
Even the New York Times, which has participated in many historical cover-ups and disinformation campaigns, in an article in its Sunday news magazine of November 3, concerning Japanese recollections of Pearl Harbor, noted that while Japan was engaged in a war with China the U.S. government in “a series of ever tighter economic sanctions…banned sales to Japan of high-octane aviation gasoline and then iron and steel scrap”.
“Finally, Washington froze all Japanese assets in the United States, making it impossible for Japan to pay for American oil imports and resulting in a cutoff of 80 percent of Japan’s oil supplies”.
If any further evidence were needed, the recent war with Iraq over the security of the oil flow to Western nations from the Persian Gulf is adequate evidence of the importance governments place on oil supplies.
THE FINAL PROVOCATION?
Could Japan have been provided its final provocation to attack when its leaders read a faked U.S. War Department “Victory Program”, a blueprint for “total war” in Europe AND Asia, in the December 4, 1941 edition of the Washington Times-Herald.
A banner headline blared “FDR’S WAR PLANS”. Beneath it was: “Goal is 10 Million Armed Men: Half to Fight in AEF. Proposed Land Drive by July 1, 1943, to Smash Nazis”.
“I could not have been more astounded if a bomb had been dropped on Washington,” Wedemeyer related. “Here was irrefutable evidence America was preparing to enter the war, and soon. President Roosevelt’s promises to keep us out of war were interpreted as campaign oratory”.
Wedemeyer had been the U.S. Army General Staff officer responsible for preparing the “Victory Program”.
It is a well-known fact that the go-ahead for the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor had not been certain even after the strike force had set sail for the Hawaiian Islands. The final decision rested upon then ongoing negotiations, in which the Japanese were attempting to get the Roosevelt administration to ease its economic stranglehold on Japan.
Could “FDR’S WAR PLANS” have been the final motivation for the Japanese to strike first?
In any case, a visitor at the White House on December 7, 1941, found Roosevelt idly passing the time at one of his favorite hobbies–working on his stamp collection.
END OF QUOTING
Dharma, allow us a rest-break please. There are several segments to this writing and we need to cover them all and then we will give information as to how to get reprints for both SPOTLIGHT will carry them with ability to get extras, and probably so should America West. There are several authors who have written excellent proof of this actual and deliberately set-up crime but I cannot give them all and I will not leave any out deliberately or accidentally. We shall simply stick to this writer. Thank you.
Hatonn to stand-by. I ask that you stay alert and responsive to my summons, scribe, for if the Elite have their way this day–you will have another day of infamy to add to the “beginnings of war and how they happen”. So be it. Salu.

“LET’S REMEMBER PEARL HARBOR?”
Segment 2, Mike Blair
The reason these articles are in separate writings is that they were not all written as a single document but now appear as an “OVERVIEW”. We shall effort to keep them in the same “order” as originally presented.
SUICIDE MISSION TO SPARK WAR
In his perfidious efforts to get the United States into a Pacific war with Japan and thus involve millions of American servicemen in Britain’s European war with Germany and her allies, President Franklin Roosevelt burned the lights late at the White House, concocting wild schemes.
Roosevelt called a top-secret meeting at the White House on December 1, 1941, to discuss means to induce the Japanese to initiate hostilities against the United States.
The meeting was reportedly attended by key presidential adviser Harry Hopkins, Secretary of State Cordell Hull, and Adm. Harold Stark, Chief of Naval Operations.
Years later, Frederick Sanborn, a noted historian of FDR’s war years, stated the key issue discussed was how to create an “incident”, in which the Japanese would attack a U.S. warship and thus provide Roosevelt a pretext for asking Congress for a declaration of war.
Stark was tasked with carrying out the decision made by FDR at the meeting. The following day, December 2, the Department of the Navy dispatched the following top-secret message to Adm. Thomas C. Hart, Commander-in-Chief of the U.S. Asiatic Fleet:
President directs the following be done as soon as possible and within two days, if possible, after receipt of this dispatch. Charter 3 small vessels to form a “defensive information patrol” Minimum requirements to establish identity as U.S. men-of-war are command by a naval officer and to mount a small gun and one machine gun would suffice. Filipino crews may be employed with minimum number naval ratings to accomplish the purpose which is to observe and report by radio Japanese movements in West China Sea and Gulf of Siam. One vessel to be stationed between Hainan and Hue, one vessel off the Indo-China coast between Camranh Bay and Cape St. Jacques and one vessel off Pointe de Camau. Use of Isabel authorized by president as one of the three but not other naval vessels. Report measures taken to carry out president’s views. At same time inform me what reconnaissance measures are being regularly performed at sea by both Army and navy whether by air, surface vessels or submarines and your opinion as to the effectiveness of these latter measures.
‘COCKLESHELL WARSHIPS’
Sanborn noted that “on December 1, 1941, Mr. Roosevelt very secretly issued the needless order to send the cockleshell warships to their appointed positions of destruction”.
The entire deplorable episode of how FDR planned to bait the Japanese into firing upon three almost defenseless U.S. vessels and thus provide him a reason to ask for a declaration of war is detailed in a book, Cruise of the Lanikai: Incitement to War, which was published in 1973 by retired Rear Adm. Kemp Tolley who, as a young lieutenant, had been assigned the task of commanding one of the “cockleshell warships”.
Tolley’s “man-of-war,” a two-masted sailing ship with a top speed of seven knots, had been commissioned the USS Hermes in 1914. It was decommissioned in 1926 as being unfit for naval duty.
In 1937, the sailing ship had been used by Hollywood producers for the film Hurricane starring Dorothy Lamour and Jon Hall.
On December 6, 1941, the day before the Pearl Harbor attack, the old Hermes was recommissioned the USS Lanikai, a man-of-war, in line with the definition required by FDR, complete with a Spanish-American War three-pounder deck gun and two Lewis machine guns of the World War I era.
NO RADIO ON BOARD
For those who believe the little ship was meant to just spy on the Japanese and send back reports of what it spotted, it should be noted that the Lanikai was not even equipped with a radio, according to Tolley.
The Lanikai sailed from Manila to Corregidor, where it was waiting for dawn to begin its mission when word reached the Philippines of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.
The mission was scrapped, and Tolley was ordered to sail his ship to Australia and never to discuss the mission with anyone.
Arriving in Australia in March, 1942, Tolley was subsequently awarded a Bronze Star for heroism in bringing his ship to safety, while the Philippines fell to the Japanese.
Tolley, who went on to a distinguished career of naval service, later had the opportunity to discuss his mission with Hart, who had been directed by Stark to carry out FDR’s orders involving the three little ships.
Hart told Tolley that, yes, he had been intended as bait. “And I could prove it”, Hart said. “But I won’t. And don’t you try either”.
“As a war measure”, Hart later told Rear Adm. John Heffernan, the director of naval history, the project was very ill advised. Pickets in such locations could not be useful because the Japanese were bound to have them marked down which would mean no chance to let them see anything of value”.
ONE SHIP SAILED
One ship, the Isabel, actually was dispatched on December 3 with Lieutenant John Walker Payne Jr. in command.
Two days later the ship’s crew spotted a Japanese aircraft, No. Z126, which circled the Isabel several times, prompting Payne to order battle stations.
However, the Japanese seemed interested only in taking photographs, and the ship’s crew did the same. Some hours later, the coast of Indo-China was spotted about 22 miles away. A scant 10 minutes afterward, the Isabel, which was equipped with a radio, received a message to return immediately to Manila.
Upon arriving at Manila on December 8, the Isabel crew learned of the attack on Pearl Harbor.
There are no records available indicating the third “cockleshell warship” was ever selected for FDR’s suicide missions to involve America in World War II.
CONFIRMED: FDR DELIBERATELY SOUGHT TO GOAD TOKYO INTO WAR
Japan might never have attacked Pearl Harbor and December 7, 1941 might not have become, as President Franklin Roosevelt originally described it, “a day of infamy” in American history, if a once top-secret plan of the president had been implemented.
Research into the archives by a number of respected historians has recently revealed that months before the Japanese attack on America’s giant naval base in the Hawaiian Islands, FDR had planned some “sneak attack” plans of his own–to bomb Tokyo with American-built and piloted aircraft bearing the insignia of the Nationalist Chinese Air Force.
Roosevelt conspired with then-Col. Claire Lee Chennault, later to achieve fame as the commander of the legendary “Flying Tigers”, and Chinese leaders, at least as early as 1940, to bomb Tokyo and other Japanese cities. At the time, Chennault was an adviser for the Chinese Air Force.
Roosevelt personally ordered 18 Lockheed A-29 Hudson bombers be assigned to Chennault for the surprise attacks. When the Japanese hit Pearl Harbor on December 7, the American Hudsons were in Burbank, California, the site of Lockheed Aircraft’s major production facility, awaiting shipment to the Far East.
WANTED B-17`S
Had Roosevelt had his way, the attack would have been made with heavy four-engine Boeing B-17 Flying Fortresses instead of the Hudson light bombers.
On the day of the Pearl Harbor attack, 49 ground crewmen for the Hudsons, including mechanics, were aboard a ship bound for the Far East. The vessel was diverted to Australia when it was learned the Japanese had struck the U.S. naval base and other military installations in Hawaii.
Apparently the bombers’ aircrews had been in China about a month, awaiting delivery of their planes and the arrival of the ground support personnel.
The Lockheed Hudson was built primarily for export to Britain under the so-called U.S. Lend-Lease aid plan, which provided weapons and munitions for the British and other nations at war with Germany and the other Axis powers in Europe.
The aircraft was a light twin-engine bomber with a top speed of about 275 miles per hour and a bomb load capacity of about 1,400 pounds. The version intended for Chennault’s attack force was believed to be the advanced Hudson MKIIIA, which was equipped with powerful 1,200-horsepower Wright Cyclone engines and extended-range fuel tanks in the wings.
Actually the Hudson was a derivation of the famous Lockheed Electra transport plane.
EARHART MISSION
Ironically it was a Lockheed Electra that famed aviatrix Amelia Earhart had used on her ill-fated around-the-world flight in 1937. There has been considerable speculation, and some evidence, Miss Earhart was really on a spy mission for FDR targeted against the Japanese mandated islands of the Pacific (former German possessions turned over to the Japanese at the end of World War I) when her plane went down and she disappeared. [H: This is indeed true and it is, further, why any reasonable information has been totally blotted out and direct investigation refused.]
Chennault, a rugged Texan known as “Old Leather Face” due to his rough complexion from years of flying open-cockpit aircraft, joined the U.S. Army Air Corps during World War I and later commanded a squadron of open-cockpit pursuit planes in Hawaii. He studied pursuit tactics, particularly those of World War I German ace Oswald Boelcke, and had written a textbook on the subject.
In 1937 Chennault, suffering from partial deafness, resigned his captain’s commission in the U.S. Air Corps to accept an invitation from Madame Chiang Kai-Shek, wife of the Generalissimo and Chinese Nationalist leader, to train and organize the Chinese Air Force. He was given the Chinese rank of colonel.
In the fall of 1940, Chennault and Chinese Gen. P.T. Mow flew to Washington to get help for the Chinese Air Force, which was no match for the powerful Japanese air armada that was hammering China.
SOUGHT $300 MILLION
Chennault, Mow and Chinese Foreign Minister T.V. Soong asked the Roosevelt administration for U.S. ground crews, training planes, parts and field equipment and advanced schemes for purchasing arms and combat aircraft. Soong proposed a joint British and American loan of up to $300 million to set up the Chinese Air Force, including B-17 bombers “to sink the Japanese navy”.
The details of the proposal are well documented in a little-known report of the Historical Division, Department of the Army, written in 1953 by researchers Charles Romanus and Rile Sunderlane.
Through Thomas Corcoran (Tommy the Cork), one of Roosevelt’s original “brain trusters”, Chennault was put in touch with the president. With the help of Corcoran, Chennault and Roosevelt reached an agreement to organize the American Volunteer Group (AVG) for China.
Under a secret executive order signed by Roosevelt on April 15, 1941, which circumvented the wishes of the Congress, U.S. military personnel were authorized to resign from the U.S. services to join the AVG, which eventually evolved into the famous “Flying Tigers”.
TOP ASSISTANT
Corcoran, who was one of Roosevelt’s two top executive assistants at the time, left his White House job, at FDR’s request, and took up a private law practice. China quickly became his biggest client.
Until now, the part played by another American friend of Roosevelt has missed the attention of historians.
However, Bob Fausel, a demonstration and test pilot at Curtiss-Wright Corp. during the early 1940’s, recently detailed the efforts of his friend, Bill Pawley, U.S. Ambassador to Peru and Brazil.
Fausel broke the air speed record in June, 1941 by flying a Curtiss P-40 fighter in a vertical dive at 661 miles per hour. The P-40 became legendary as the fighter aircraft of the “Flying Tigers”, its well-known gaping tiger’s mouth emblazoned on its engine cowling.
Fausel recently related in an issue of the Winter Park (Florida) Observer the mysterious part played by his friend Pawley in setting up the AVG.
In 1938 I accepted an assignment to demonstrate two Curtiss aircraft in China. One was the Hawk 75-Q designed to carry two 23-mm Madsen cannon Col. Chennault wanted for sinking Japanese riverboats bringing their logistic supplies up the Yangtze River. The plane also carried two .50-caliber machine guns. The other was the CW-21 interceptor. Bill Pawley was president of the Intercontinental Corp. at that time and was the agent for Curtiss-Wright airplanes and engines in China.
Pawley had talks with Col. Chennault, Gen. P.T. Mow (Mme. Chiang’s adviser who later absconded to Brazil with millions of Nationalist Chinese dollars), Gen. Chow (chief of the Air Force), Dr. H.H. Hung and T.V. Soong.
Pawley had an office in Hong Kong and one in New York. He spent a lot of time commuting from Hong Kong since he was building a new plant, Central Aircraft Manufacturing Corp., in Loi Wing, where a runway had been built to my specifications.
Actually the armaments were sold to China through a front, China Defense Supplies Inc., a purchasing group set up at FDR’s suggestion. It was headed by William Youngman, again at FDR’s direction. Roosevelt asked Youngman to leave his post as head of the Federal Power Commission to take the new assignment.
Since the United States was not yet at war with Japan and therefore could not deal openly with China as a co-belligerent, it was decided all arrangements would be made by an unofficial agency, which would also help to ensure secrecy. Pawley’s Central Aircraft Manufacturing Co. was therefore set up and given authorization to hire the air and ground crews to “operate, service and manufacture aircraft in China”.
The Japanese, however, saw through the scheme and called it “a hostile, provocative act”.
SOUGHT U.S. AID
Fausel relates that in June, 1939 he had taken the same Pan-American China Clipper flight back to the United States from China with Pawley, Pawley’s secretary and a Dr. Buck, whom he identified as an “economist and financial adviser on Chiang Kai-Shek’s staff”.
“He (Buck) said his business involved groundwork for getting financial support from the U.S.A. for China,” Fausel said.
Under the rules of the Geneva Convention, U.S. pilots were not supposed to be fighting in China; and they were instructed; “You’ll be agents for the Chinese government. In other words, we don’t want to have it known, or at any rate advertised, you’re going over there to fight against the Japanese or, for that matter, that you were in the U.S. forces. In no way must it be known you’re even in China with the official knowledge of the U.S. government”.
Fausel related that a “friend” told him of Pawley’s part in the recruitment of pilots.
“He (the friend) was a second lieutenant in the 6th Pursuit Squadron at Wheeler Field, Hawaii in the fall of 1940 (more than a year before the Pearl Harbor attack)”, Fausel said. “While taking a walk along the beach at Waikiki he saw a small group of fellow pilots from Hickam and Wheeler Fields listening to a man addressing them under the old banyan tree behind the Moana Hotel. It was Bill Pawley”.
The friend explained Pawley was indeavoring to recruit the fliers for the AVG.
ASSEMBLED IN SECRET
The air and ground crews were assembled in secret in San Francisco in the summer of 1941. Special passports were arranged by the State Department, and the men were listed as salesmen, teachers, actors, etc., even as undertakers.
The pay was exceptional by 1941 standards. Pilots would get $600 per month, flight leaders would get $675 and squadron leaders would get $750. A $500 bonus would be paid for each Japanese plane shot down.
When Roosevelt first heard of the proposal to bomb Japanese cities with American planes bearing Chinese insignia, he was elated.
“Wonderful!” he exclaimed. “That’s what I’ve been talking about for four years”!
FDR’s Secretary of War, Henry L. Stimson, was also enthused by the proposal.
DIARY QUOTED
“I wanted so much to give those poor men, who have been fighting so hard for four years, everything we can,” Stimson wrote in his diary, the entry dated November 6, 1941–one month before the Pearl Harbor attack.
Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau Jr. also detailed the plans in his diary. [H: Now this is the same Morgenthau who worked out the plan with Eisenhower for the starving and killing of the millions of Germans at the end of the war.]
Morgenthau wrote FDR Secretary of State Cordell Hull was “a bundle of fervor and vitality” on the bombing project.
“What we have to do, Henry,” Hull confided and Morgenthau in turn related in his diary, “is to get 500 planes to start from the Aleutian Islands and fly over Japan just once… That will teach them a lesson… If only we could find some way to have them drop some bombs on Tokyo”.
Fausel related that Pawley was responsible for selling “the idea of the AVG to Secretary of State Cordell Hull and also to President Roosevelt. He worked out the arrangements with Generalissimo Chiang’s staff, and I am sure he knew Gen. Henry (Hap) Arnold who had to approve the plan as well as the other top officials of the War Department”.
Robert Schriebman, an attorney for veterans of the “Flying Tigers,” who represented them in their efforts to obtain veterans benefits from the U.S. government, had unearthed a secret memo dated August, 1941, five months before Pearl Harbor, from Arnold. It notes the creation of the AVG “has the approval of the president and the War Department”.
Morgenthau, according to researchers, confided to Lord Lothian, the British Ambassador to the United States, that he (Morgenthau) was going to try to get “four-engine bombers” and U.S. crews for the Chinese “with the understanding these bombers are to be used to bomb Tokyo and other big cities”.
Morgenthau told his diary Lothian agreed the bombing “might change everything”, meaning, it is presumed, getting the U.S. involved in hostilities with Japan and thus dragged into Britain’s war with Germany, an ally of Japan.
However, U.S. Army Chief of Staff Gen. George C. Marshall tossed cold water on their plans to use B-17 heavy bombers, explaining that neither the planes nor trained crews were available for such an undertaking at that time. Thus the Lockheed Hudsons, available in large numbers, were selected for the task.
In any event, their purpose was not to flatten Tokyo and other Japanese cities but to spark war with Japan.
How strong is the evidence FDR conspired to get the United States involved in World War II through the use of air power before Pearl Harbor was attacked?
A PENTAGON ADMISSION
Last July 7, the Associated Press reported the Pentagon had ruled the supposed “volunteers” of the AVG were in reality on “active duty” in their battles in 1941, months before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.
Air Force Brig. Gen. Ellwood P. Hinman III, according to AP, “announced the group of ‘volunteers’ was on ‘active duty’ and thus entitled to veterans status”.
Armed with a secret report prepared by U.S. Army intelligence in 1942, which stated that in order “to avoid a breach of international law, the entire project (AVG) was organized as a commercial venture”, columnist Patrick Buchanan noted three days after the Pentagon admission.
“Does not this secret, illegal dispatch of U.S. pilots to fight Japan constitute an impeachable act? Does it not confirm what many historians have long argued: That FDR deliberately sought to goad Tokyo into war, to embroil the United States in the Pacific, as the ‘back door’ through which to take us into war in Europe, a war FDR and Churchill concluded we had to fight, even though Congress voted, and the American people wanted, to stay out”? Buchanan asked.
END OF QUOTING
Let us interrupt the writing at this point and take a respite. We have another segment but it will be more easily structured if we break it into these segments due to the length of the compiled material. I then would like to continue by sharing the “EDITORIAL” comments regarding this particular issue of the paper, SPOTLIGHT for it is indeed worthy of taking note. It is not so much the happenings which are heinous enough to take your breath away–but the half century of continuing cover-up is without ability to imagine. Alas, however, it is the fact of your life-streams as the adversary has laid an ever more tightly woven web in which to entrap you unsuspecting sleeping morsels for the black widow’s bite. Salu.

Dharma, we will simply begin again at the heading which we had begun on the yesterday as we were interrupted. It will only require brief repetition and is not worthy of the interruption for retrieval.
AMERICAN SERVICEMEN DIED BEFORE DECLARATION OF WAR
You must understand herein that you no longer have this problem as will be outlaid here because you have not since had declarations of war–you have only had wars (without declaration–but rather, through Presidential Order). Don’t fool yourselves into believing the Congress finally declared war in the Persian Gulf–THEY DID NOT!
Again, honoring Mike Blair, writer for SPOTLIGHT:
There were 2,403 American servicemen who died 50 years ago, on December 7, 1941, when a strike force of 350 carrier-based Japanese aircraft struck Pearl Harbor and other U.S. military installations in the Hawaiian Islands.
They were not, however, the first American military personnel to lose their lives in World War II. There were 141 others who died prior to the Pearl Harbor attack and before a declaration of war by the U.S. Congress which brought America officially into the bloodiest, most costly war in the history of mankind.
Congress, under pressure from President Franklin Roosevelt, enacted the Selective Training and Service Act on September 16, 1940, and in just one month some 16.4 million young Americans were registered for the draft.
At about the same time, Roosevelt, while campaigning in Boston for an unprecedented third term in the White House, stated: “I have said this before, but I shall say it again and again and again: Your boys are not going to be sent into any foreign wars”.
THE BIGGEST LIE
History has recorded, in American blood, that those words, declared by an American president seeking reelection, represent the biggest lie ever uttered to the American people by an American candidate for the presidency.
While stating this colossal lie, FDR was making plans to do just the opposite–to in fact involve those 16.4 million young American men registered for the draft in the war raging since 1939 in Europe.
In fact, an American had already lost his life. On April 21, 1940, Capt. Robert M. Losey, an Army Air Corps Weather Service commander, had been killed in a German air raid in Norway.
Not only was Roosevelt plotting ways to drag America into World War II through the back door–by baiting the Japanese to attack America or planning attacks upon Japan–he was in fact already planning to involve these young Americans in an undeclared war against Germany.
FDR created the U.S. Navy’s Atlantic Fleet on February 1, 1941, and a month later American warships were detailed the dangerous task of escorting arms-laden cargo ships bound from Canada and the United States to Britain.
The fleet’s Support Force, or convoy protection group, included 45 destroyers, 51 patrol aircraft, one destroyer tender, 10 minesweepers and minelayers and three aircraft tenders.
The mission of Rear Adm. Arthur L. Bristol, as commander of Task Force 4, as it was known, was to provide armed escort for convoys to Britain and to conduct anti-submarine warfare operations. This was nine months before Japan attacked Pearl Harbor.
AMERICANS IN RAF
In early 1940, Britain ordered from the United States 50 twin-engine PBY-5 patrol-reconnaissance flying boats, which became more popularly known as “Catalinas”.
The first of these valuable aircraft were delivered to Britain in late 1940 and early 1941 and were intended by the Royal Air Force for use as reconnaissance aircraft and bombers. At the time, the British were just becoming aware of the grave dangers the Royal Navy faced from German U-boats and surface raiders. They faced a serious lack of long-range reconnaissance aircraft capable of tracking the German submarines and surface ships.
However, the arrival of the American flying boats presented a new problem. British airmen were unfamiliar with the operation of the new aircraft, which needed to be put into active service immediately.
Roosevelt, however, who was by then already pouring thousands of tons of vital war material into Britain under the Lend-Lease program, had a ready solution to the problem. Seventeen American naval aviators, familiar with the Catalinas, were sent to Britain to “familiarize” the RAF fliers with the seaplanes. [H: Doesn’t this sound familiar? You also sent your beloved SERVICEMEN into Israel to “familiarize” the Israelis with Patriot missile launchers–which were already in Israel. How handy to have another nation fight and die for your own!] However, it soon became apparent their roles were far more than mere instructors.
Sir Frederick Bowhill, the commander-in-chief of British Coastal Command, on May 26, 1941 dispatched two Catalinas on a patrol mission to help locate the German battleship Bismarck. The Catalina crews included both American and British airmen.
On May 20, the German battleship, accompanied by the heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen, had sailed out into the North Atlantic to attack British shipping. Four days later, the two powerful German vessels encountered the British battleship Prince of Wales and the battle cruiser Hood.
BRITISH OVERCONFIDENT
Overconfident, the British felt their two ships could outgun the German warships. However, in the ensuing battle, the first salvos from the German ships struck the Hood, which literally disintegrated, with only three of its crew surviving. The Prince of Wales suffered severe damage and was forced to withdraw from the engagement.
Since the Bismarck had suffered some damage, including the contamination of one of its fuel cells with seawater following a hit from the Prince of Wales, it separated from the Prinz Eugen and set a new course for St. Nazaire, France, for repairs and refueling.
FOUND BY AMERICANS
At 10:30 am on May 26, the German battleship was sighted by Catalina Z-209, piloted by U.S. Navy Ensign Leonard B. “Tuck” Smith, one of the 17 American pilots sent to Britain to help with the flying boats.
After the Bismarck had been sighted, its exact location was radioed to Coastal Command, and later in the day the battleship was attacked by bombers from the British carrier Victorious. The warship’s steering gear was damaged and the vessel sailed in circles, out of control.
On May 27, the damaged Bismarck was sunk by a British force of two battleships and several cruisers and destroyers.
The 17 Americans continued in other engagements for the British and two ultimately lost their lives.
On September 12-13, 1941, 13 U.S. Coast Guard men were dispatched to a remote fjord on the shores of Greenland after reports had been received of suspicious activities along the coast. They captured three German radio operators, who had been landed by submarine. This took place months before Pearl Harbor was attacked and war was declared by America, but the three Germans were taken prisoner and were interned in Boston.
In the North Atlantic, the U.S. Support Force escorted 2,500 cargo ships halfway across the ocean, where they were met by British escort vessels. They lost only eight cargo vessels to German U-boats.
It was not, however, without cost.
On October 17, 1941, five American destroyers of Task Force 4.1.4. found themselves involved in a full-scale battle with German U-boats.
A torpedo from U-658 struck the destroyer Kearny, nearly cutting it in half. Eleven American sailors were killed, and 24 were wounded.
BLOWN IN TWO
On October 31, 1941, the American Reuben James, a World War I-era four-stack destroyer, was blown in two by a German torpedo from U-552.
The U-boat’s commander described in his ships log, “Wreck atomized by powerful detonation of her own depth charges”.
A total of 115 members of the 159-man destroyer crew perished as the warship went down in less than five minutes. Floundering sailors watched helplessly as their shipmates sank beneath the surface.
Adm. Harold Stark, chief of naval operations, stated: “The situation demands our people be fully informed of the issues involved, the means necessary and available, and the consequences of success or failure.
“When we go in we must go to the full extent of our resources. To tell our people anything else is to perpetrate a base deception which can only be reflected in lackadaisical and half-hearted prosecution (of the war)”.
But the dying was not over.
Early in November, 1941, Patrol Squadron 73 took off from Skerjafjordhur in Iceland to escort a convoy. One of the planes failed to return. Its remains were found on a hillside near Reykjavik. ALL 12 crewmen had died in the crash.
“I have said this before, but I shall say it again and again and again: Your boys are not going to be sent into any foreign wars”.
That is what Franklin Roosevelt had promised the American people. [H: Read my lips?]
…
FIFTY YEARS OF COVER-UP
You shall know the truth and the truth shall give the Establishment a migraine. Surely December 7, 1941 is a day that will live in infamy; but not for the reasons the Establishment–media, historians and academics–would have us believe. Our OVERVIEW of Pearl Harbor, beginning on page 10 in this issue, sets the record straight.
What is most perfidious about Pearl Harbor, however, is not the act of betrayal itself. It is, rather, the continued cover-up of the truth. It’s not unusual that politicians and Establishment journalists would participate in the 50-year-old lie. Lying is their stock in trade. But professional historians and academics, on whom people depend to take a hard look at events free of the emotions of the moment and to present the truth in proper perspective, eagerly validate the deception.
These intellectual whores continue to write books and articles, produce specials for television and so forth that perpetrate the lie Pearl Harbor was the “surprise attack” President Franklin Delano Roosevelt said it was. These presentations are then lauded by the same Establishment media ultimately responsible for their production. It’s sort of like Tweedle Dum being the only judge in a beauty contest in which Tweedle Dee is a contestant.
This situation points up the importance of the
REVISIONIST APPROACH
to history. If Establishment-approved historians are so dishonest as to knowingly cover up the true story of Pearl Harbor, one must conclude they are doing the same thing with other issues.
Another Establishment-generated cover-up is the murder of President John F. Kennedy. The politicians, journalists and obedient academics pushed the Warren Commission conclusion–that there was one assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald. Today hardly anyone believes that, so the Establishment has gone to its fall-back position–that we’ll never know what happened.
But then along comes attorney/author Mark Lane, in a blockbuster new book Plausible Denial [H: I recommend this book very highly!] [Hardback, 393 pages with index, is available for $25 (post. and hand. incl) from Liberty Library, 300 Independence Ave. SE, Washington, D.C. 20003.], to set the record straight. And he shows how the politicians and media colluded to keep the truth from the public.
We owe a debt of gratitude to the small group of intrepid investigators in the United States and throughout the world who are rooting out the truth despite the best efforts to keep it hidden. These efforts and the people making them are often the target of vicious attacks by the Establishment media–and no wonder.
Now, thanks to the truth we know about Pearl Harbor and JFK, it makes it very easy and clear for us to see the truth about President Lyndon B. Johnson’s Gulf of Tonkin incident. Both Pearl Harbor and the Gulf of Tonkin were efforts to get the United States involved in a foreign war. Both employed the willing connivance of the Establishment media. Both were successful.
And speaking of cover-ups, don’t forget the deliberate, unconscionable attack by our favorite ally–Israel–on the USS Liberty. The Liberty was sailing in international waters and was clearly identified as a U.S. vessel. It was attacked by air and sea forces of the state of Israel in what was subsequently described by the White House and the Establishment media as a “tragic error”. Israel even gave a few thousand dollars of foreign aid BACK TO THE UNITED STATES as “reparations”.
That attack happened in 1967. In 1976, The SPOTLIGHT exposed the incident for what it was–a deliberate, cold-blooded attack intended to kill everyone on board and sink the ship, to keep secret Israel’s war plans. Now, in 1991, the truth is finally filtering into the Establishment media.
Then there is the
CRIMINAL MANIPULATION
of the events leading up to Operation Desert Storm. Iraq’s Saddam Hussein was deliberately misled to believe the United States would stand aside if he decided to invade Kuwait. Then, when he did, George Bush was “shocked” and launched a war in the desert. The result can only be described as calculated genocide. The SPOTLIGHT’s coverage of the president’s duplicity, his “bush-whacking” of Saddam, won an award as one of the top 10 most-censored stories of the year.
Did the Reagan-Bush campaign make a secret deal with Iran’s Ayatollah Khomeini to keep Americans prisoner so Jimmy Carter would be defeated in the 1980 election and Ronald Reagan elected? Knowing you have been routinely lied to in the past helps to bring historical events such as this so-called October Surprise affair into clearer focus. Any establishment that is so deceitful and dishonest as to hide the truth about the Kennedy assassinations, Pearl Harbor and the USS Liberty is going to be capable and willing to cover up a “minor” event such as the October Surprise.
No wonder FDR was Reagan’s favorite president. No wonder the Establishment–media, historians and academicians–must continue to perpetrate the lie about Pearl Harbor. If the American people ever realize the extent of the perfidy of the government-media axis, who knows–they might vote intelligently. That would be the death knell for the manipulators.
Thank you.
No, they would NOT cause the death knell for the manipulators for the manipulators will NOT BE CAST OUT BY SIMPLE ELECTIONS–NOT ANY MORE–FOR IT HAS GONE TOO FAR TO BE SIMPLY “VOTED IN” OR “VOTED OUT”. The point is in the “uncovering” of the lies.
It will not be through elections that you will become free again–IT CAN ONLY BE THROUGH KNOWLEDGE–AND SEEING OF THE TRUTH OF ALL–WHICH WILL ALLOW YOU AGAIN TO ACHIEVE FREEDOM! FOR IT SHALL ONLY BE THROUGH “KNOWING” THAT YOU WILL TURN INTO THE “ACTIONS” OF RIGHTNESS IN THAT TRUTH WHICH SHALL BE YOUR GUIDE INTO BALANCE AS A NATION, UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE WITH RIGHTS FOR ALL AND FREEDOM FOR ALL.
Hatonn to move to stand-by–in appreciation unto the brothers who dare to speak out because the blows against them are indeed heinous. But their light shall be given the uncovering and I am honored to recognize their achievements. I salute them.
