PEARL HARBOR II: The Technology of Manipulation
Did Washington know about the World Trade Center attacks in advance?
by
G. Shcherbatov
ARI (Agency of Russian Information),
Sept. 12, 2001
Translated from the Russian, slightly abridged and modified
Two years ago, on the eve of the beginning of the 2nd Chechen War, when
apartment houses were being blown up in Moscow, evidence surfaced that
they might have been blown up not by Chechen terrorists, but by the
Kremlin, to create a pretext to declare war. Now some are voicing a
similar theory in relation to the recent New York terrorist attacks,
i.e., that Washington itself had a hand in them. If this sounds too
far-fetched for you, then read on.
Live coverage of the attack was just getting underway in New York, and
already we were hearing the words: "Pearl Harbor, Pearl Harbor. It's
another Pearl Harbor!" Just how accurate this comparison was could be
judged by the cold shiver that ran up my spine and the spines of others
who remember their history.
For consumers of hamburgers raised on the Hollywood version of that
tragedy, "Pearl Harbor!" is a rallying cry to destroy the infidels,
only with Arabs this time in the role of the Japanese. I can imagine
how fat-bottomed housewives all over America shed patriotic tears into
their popcorn at the sight of those boys singing on the Capitol steps.
Those more skeptical of official American propaganda, however, will
find the following facts to be a good memory-refresher:
On December 7, 1941 a surprise Japanese air-attack over Pearl Harbor
resulted in 4574 casualties (killed, injured, and missing), 177
aircraft, two destroyers, two squadron minesweepers and a lot of
smaller vessels destroyed. That day went into US history as a "day of
infamy". This has been pounded into the heads of all American
schoolchildren for the last 60 years. But what's been beaten out of
their heads just as insistently?
1. On January 27, 1941, the US ambassador in Tokyo informed his
government that "in case of conflict between the United States and
Japan, the Japanese intend a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor".
2. The legendary Soviet agent Richard Sorge informed the Soviet
Government in October 1941 that "the Japanese intend to attack Pearl
Harbor in the next 60 days," and received an answer that this
information had been passed on to President Roosevelt. (From Sorge's
admission, published in the "New York Daily News" of May 17, 1951.)
3. From September 1941 until the moment of the attack, all Japanese
communiques intercepted and deciphered by American intelligence pointed
to the impending attack on Pearl Harbor, but they were not passed on to
local command: Documents published after the war show that the American
base in Hawaii was deprived of all information about the inevitable
attack. Even such agitprop as the Discovery Channel is in agreement
with this.
4. On December 1, 1941, the head of the Far East Division of US Naval
Intelligence wrote in his report to the commander of the Pacific Fleet:
"War between the United States and Japan will begin in the nearest
future." The report never reached the commander's desk, because it was
"accidentally" detained by his superiors.
5. On December 5, 1941 Colonel Sadtler from US military communications
wrote the following telegram to his command, based on information he'd
received: "War with Japan will begin immediately; exclude all
possibility of a second Port Arthur." This telegram was also detained.
6. The Japanese' answer to Roosevelt's ultimatum, tantamount to a
declaration of war, was received by Washington on the 6th of December,
1941. Not a word of this was passed on to the Pearl Harbor command.
In addition to these incontrovertible facts there are the memoirs of
three high-ranking commanders of the US Navy, all participants in the
events surrounding Pearl Harbor: Rear Admiral Kimmel, head of the
Pacific Fleet; Fleet Admiral Halsey, under Kimmel's command in
December, 1941; and Rear Admiral Theobald, commander of the minesweeper
squadron at Pearl Harbor.
From Kimmel's memoirs: "It was part of Roosevelt's plan that no warning
be sent to the Hawaiian Islands. Our leaders in Washington, who
deliberately didn't inform our forces in Pearl Harbor, cannot be
justified in any way. The Pearl Harbor command wasn't informed at all
about ... the American note of November 26, 1941, delivered to the
Japanese ambassador, which practically exluded further negotiations and
made war in the Pacific inevitable.... The Army and Navy command in the
Hawaiian Islands received not even a hint about intercepted and
deciphered Japanese telegrams which were forwarded to concerned parties
in Washington on the 6th and 7th of December, 1941."
Fleet Admiral Halsey: "Our intelligence data spoke of a likely attack
by Japan on the Philippines or the Dutch East Indies. Although Pearl
Harbor wasn't excluded from discussion, everything relayed to us
pointed to other objects of attack. If we had known that the Japanese
were continually collecting detailed information about the exact
location and movements of our warships in Pearl Harbor (which is made
clear by intercepted reports), we naturally would have concentrated our
efforts on preparations to repel an attack on Pearl Harbor."
Rear Admiral Theobald: "An incontestable fact in the true history of
Pearl Harbor is the repeated withholding from Admiral Kimmel and
General Short (Navy and Army command in Pearl Harbor, who were later
made scapegoats for the catastrophe) of supremely important military
information.... There's never been a case in history when a commander
was not informed that his country will be at war within a few hours and
that his forces will most likely become the first object of attack at
sunrise." Admiral Theobald cites the testimony of Admiral Stark (head
of Navy Headquarters in Washington, who hid Japan's factual declaration
of war from Adm. Kimmel), that he acted on orders from above, which in
his case could only mean President Roosevelt himself. The most
incredible fact is the withholding of information from Admiral Kimmel.
Admiral Kimmel and General Short were the lowest links in the chain of
command. They were made into scapegoats, as we mentioned above. Both
were forced to retire. The highest link in the chain, Roosevelt, died
within a few years, taking to his grave other secrets about that war.
For example, who he took orders from. Delving into a little history, we
can reconstruct a chronology of events:
In November 1941 War Minister Henry L. Stimson, after meeting with the
presidential administration on November 25, 1941, wrote in his diary:
"The discussion was about how we should maneuver to force the Japanese
to fire the first shot, while not exposing ourselves to too great a
danger; this will be a difficult task. The Japanese air attack on
December 7th allowed President Roosevelt to announce to the whole
country that the surprise attack had put her in a state of war (note
the condition of today's US armed forces: delta, in preparation for
war). The "difficult task" had been solved. And America, you see,
already had good experience with such "difficult tasks": In 1898 the
American battleship "Maine" was "sunk by a Spanish mine" in the port of
Havana. The rallying cry "Remember the Maine" was used to whip up
anti-Spanish hysteria in the American population, after which war was
declared on Spain. Many years later, when the "Maine" was raised from
the ocean floor it was established that the battleship's armor had been
blown out by an explosion from inside the ship.
* * *
The whole world is talking today about the tragedy in America. Grief
has come into thousands of homes. Someone at this very moment is
agonizingly dying under the rubble. But that's not a tragedy. Just as
Pearl Harbor paled in comparison to the American bombings of Dresden,
Hiroshima and Nagasaki which followed, the enormity of what awaits us
will dwarf the tragedy of Pearl Harbor II.
The plotters of such mass-murders are not mentally-incompetent maniacs
of course. The deaths of thousands in and of themselves are of no
benefit to anyone. What's important are the consequences. That's where
we'll uncover the real aim of the plotters. We'll be able to get a good
idea of who organized this whole nightmare by watching the American
leadership's actions in the near future, and its actions will be as
follows:
1. The tragedies in New York and Washington will untie Israel's hands
for a full-fledged war against the Palestinians. It's hard to even
imagine what turn this could take.
2. The USA will organize a land-based reprisal operation on the
territory of the designated villain. American military men have already
announced that it's not worth spending million-dollar missiles to
destroy 20-dollar tents. If they decide Bin Laden's the perpetrator,
American GI's will soon be in Kabul. The US has a wonderful tradition:
once its soldiers have occupied a given patch of the planet as the
result of a "peacekeeping" operation, they can be smoked out only by
another, opposing peacekeeping operation. By the way, from Kabul one
can very conveniently hit Moscow even with tactical missiles. Twenty
years ago such a reprisal mission wouldn't have entered anyone's head.
We would have answered by landing our paratroopers in California. Maybe
that's why the Trade Center towers remained standing all that time?
Even supposing Russian military brass swallow this all in silence, what
about the Chinese? The Afghan mountains offer an ideal position from
which to destroy China's intercontinental ballistic missiles at launch
(and the Yanks will never let the Chinese get a foothold in the oceans
or in space). Judging by the recent quarrels over the American spy
plane, the Chinese might not be so "understanding".
3. Using defense of its citizens against further attacks by "outlaw
states" as a justification, the Pentagon will go ahead with a
full-fledged anti-missile shield. Its space-based lasers can already
knock any object out of the sky. Once everything's in place, who will
dare to raise their voice in objection?
4. The introduction of total control over the population will help to
prevent further such terrorist acts. Modern computer technology will
create changes in society that Orwell couldn't have imagined in his
worst nightmares. A microchip fulfilling the role of passport, credit
card, universal key and medical card can be sewn under the skin of
every citizen. Using this chip the everyone's whereabouts will be known
at every moment. "Big Brother" may have other uses for the chip which
we "little brethren" will be entirely unaware of. Introducing such
measures would raise a hue and cry under normal peacetime conditions,
but when airplanes are knocking down skyscrapers and subway trains are
exploding citizens will quickly forget about their rights in order to
secure the safety of their own behinds.
In short, the perspectives are quite promising. Just how promising
we'll discover soon.
