Eight Point Plan To Force Japan To Attack The United States From The McCollum Memorandum:
hosting.photobucket.com/albums/q62/chainsawmoth/127-911/page4.gif
"A 1940 Gallup poll showed 83 percent of the public was against intervention. A good pretext was needed to gain support from an intransigent public.” -- Jim Marrs, "Rule by Secrecy"
“The ‘Honolulu Advertiser’ front page headline on November 30, 1941, read: ‘Japan May Strike over Weekend.’ Still, the military was told to go to the lowest level of readiness, the ships in the harbor were lined up in tight rows, and the aircraft on the airfields were put into circles, nose tip to nose tip.” -- Alex Jones, “911 Descent into Tyranny”
Was Japan induced to attack Pearl Harbor? The answer is a resounding yes after reading the memorandum by Japanese expert Captain Arthur McCollum, chief of the Far Eastern Section of Naval Intelligence, dated October 7, 1940. This document was hidden for decades before author Robert Stinnett had it freed through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).
Here are the 8 points McCollum advocated, all of which Roosevelt performed or arranged (some over the objections of Commander-in-chief of the US fleet James Richardson):
1 -- Make an arrangement with Britain for the use of British bases in the Pacific, particularly Singapore.
2 -- Make an arrangement with Holland for the use of base facilities and acquisition of supplies in the Dutch East Indies.
3 -- Give all possible aid to the Chinese government of Chiang-Kai-Shek.
4 -- Send a division of long-range heavy cruisers to the Orient, Philippines, or Singapore.
5 -- Send two divisions of submarines to the Orient.
6 -- Keep the main strength of the U.S. fleet now in the Pacific in the vicinity of the Hawaiian Islands.
7 -- Insist that the Dutch refuse to grant Japanese demands for undue economic concessions, particularly oil.
8 -- Completely embargo all U.S. trade with Japan, in collaboration with a similar embargo imposed by the British Empire.
These actions were calculated and eventually forced Japan to make a move. The last two in particular cutoff oil and other vital supplies to Japan. Remember, Japan, like England, is an island and they lacked very little natural resources on their homeland. This is what spurred much of their aggression as they had to acquire almost everything from abroad to survive.
Researcher Brian Desborough included some information about this topic that also shows that the official version of the attack was another made up story.

Thus, in placing the blame solely on the Japanese for the Pearl Harbour attack, the book, which claims to have been extensively researched, fails to inform the readers of the causal factors which led up to the attack. These included the British-engineered downfall of Prime Minister Okuma and the Rockefeller-instigated expulsion of Japan from her Chinese oilfield concessions.
As a congressional hearing chaired by then Senator Harry Truman revealed, the Pearl Harbor attack was planned at the New England office of the Rockefeller-funded Institute of Pacific Relations, not in Japan as is popularly believed.
As a British cabinet minister stated before Parliament in 1944:
"Japan was provoked into attacking America at Pearl Harbor. It is a travesty on history to say that America was forced into the war."
If the book authors had presented the true facts, perhaps America’s next generation would realize that the Pearl Harbor attack was a payback episode for the egregious intervention into Japan’s internal affairs of state perpetrated by the Rockefeller oil dynasty and its corrupt puppet Franklin D. Roosevelt.(2)
(2) FDR and his cabinet were Standard Oil puppets, Nelson Rockefeller even being appointed as Coordinator of Strategic Defense. Wanting Japan to abort its intention of declaring war upon the Soviets (where the Rockefellers had vested oil and lumber interests) J.P. Morgan’s nephew was appointed Ambassador to Japan in order to induce Japanese warlords to attack the USA instead. Most of the Japanese weaponry and munitions were supplied by American companies. In November 1941, correspondent Joe Lieb was notified by his friend, Secretary of State Cordell Hull, that Pearl Harbor would be attacked on December 7th.

This information ties in with the 8-point plan that we see above.
De-classified documents show that the Pentagon had prior knowledge of the attack on Pearl Harbor, indeed, that they provoked and instigated the “unprovoked” attack and did nothing to stop it. A July 22, 1941, report by Admiral Richmond Turner read,
It is generally believed that shutting off the American supply of petroleum will lead promptly to the invasion of Netherland East Indies… it seems certain that she (Japan) would also include military action in the Philippine islands which would immediately involve us in a Pacific war. (1)
Point six is vital for this post as it shows that America was willing to sacrifice much of its Pacific fleet to get this attack completed. Outside of removing the aircraft carriers the Pacific fleet left the bulk of their forces in Hawaii, and most particularly at Pearl Harbor.
Japan was pushed to war and we knew that we had the means to know where they would strike as you can do a search in 1 minute or less and find numerous documents that say the United States Navy (USN) broke the code in 1937, the Japanese Navy made some changes, and then the USN broke it again in late 1940. Also, we were given advanced warnings of the attack on Pearl Harbor by the British who had a vested interest in us getting into World War II.
Other communication was vulnerable too. It seems President Franklin Roosevelt sent his advisor Harry Hopkins to British Prime Minister in early 1941. Hopkins passed Roosevelt's message to Churchill which was, "The President is determined that we [the United States and England] shall win the war together…"
Roosevelt's intentions were nearly exposed in 1940 when Tyler Kent, a code clerk at the U.S. embassy in London, discovered secret dispatches between Roosevelt and Churchill. These revealed that Roosevelt - despite contrary campaign promises - was determined to have America enter the war. Kent smuggled some of the documents out of the embassy, as he was hoping to alert the American public - but was caught in the act.
One very early warning came almost a full year before the attack, on January 27, 1941, Joseph Grew, the US Ambassador to Tokyo, wrote a letter to Roosevelt stating specifically that in the event of war, Pearl Harbor would be Japan’s first target.
Months later on July 22nd, 1941, a report by Admiral Richmond Turner read,
“It is generally believed that shutting off the American supply of petroleum will lead promptly to the invasion of Netherland East Indies… it seems certain that she [Japan] would also include military action in the Philippine islands which would immediately involve us in a Pacific war.”
Two weeks before the Pearl Harbor attack on November 25, 1941, after a conversation with Secretary of War Henry Stimson, Roosevelt wrote in his diary, "The question was how we should maneuver them into the position of firing the first shot without too much danger to ourselves...It was desirable to make sure the Japanese be the ones to do this so that there should remain no doubt in anyone's mind as to who were the aggressors."
On November 26, the day after Roosevelt’s diary entry, he received a very suspicious phone call from Winston Churchill. A large Japanese fleet including six aircraft carriers had recently gone missing and Churchill said to Roosevelt in the recording,
"I can assure you that their goal is the (cuts out) fleet in Hawaii, at Pearl Harbor."
Roosevelt goes on to ask, “The obvious implication is that the Japs are going to do a Port Arthur on us at Pearl Harbor. Do you concur?”
Churchill says he does indeed and Roosevelt adds, “I will have to consider the entire problem...A Japanese attack on us, which would result in war between – and certainly you as well – would certainly fulfill two of the most important requirements of our policy.”
To emphasize how desperate the Roosevelt administration were to enter the second world war, the Scotsman reported that hundreds of former prisoners of war in the Philippines were deliberately blocked from leaving the country by order of the then American President, so their capture by the Japanese could be used as propaganda in the U.S. to stoke war fever. A former prisoner has uncovered papers in the US National Archive that she claims prove the government restricted the travel of 7,000 American citizens from the Philippines, while at the same time encouraging evacuation of Americans from other potential Japanese targets in China and south-east Asia.
A federal lawsuit filed in Washington, DC, alleges that the government at first wanted to keep Americans in the Philippines to discourage Japanese aggression, but later used them as a political tool.
A group of 500 former prisoners claim the plan was devised by the US wartime leader, Franklin D Roosevelt, with the approval of Winston Churchill, Britain’s Prime Minister, to cause outrage among American citizens unwilling to back a war on Japan.
Americans were denied passport and travel documents to let them flee. They were later captured by the Japanese and held in notorious camps under appalling conditions. Marcia Fee Achenbach, one of those captured, was four when her camp was liberated by US soldiers in 1944. She discovered the papers while doing research in the National Archive. Among the evidence uncovered was a telegram that Francis Sayre, the high commissioner of the Philippines, had sent to the US state department urging an evacuation plan.
The state department’s confidential reply read:
“Visualize the remaining of Americans generally in the Philippines in an emergency, and plan accordingly.”
On December 6, 1941, Captain Johan Ranneft of the Dutch naval attaché in Washington acknowledged that U.S. naval intelligence informed him that Japanese carriers were about 400 miles northwest of Honolulu.
Apparently Ranneft informed Washington, but no alert was passed to the commanders in Hawaii. At least an hour before the attack, a Japanese submarine was sunk at the mouth of the harbor by a US Navy destroyer called the USS Ward. The captain of the USS Ward, Lieutenant William W. Outerbridge, sent a message to Admiral Kimmel. But it seems that there was some communications trouble between Outerbridge and Kimmel.
The London Times wrote,
"Outerbridge sent a report of the attack to Admiral Husband E. Kimmel, commander in chief of the Pacific Fleet."
Outerbridge's report to the US Navy stated that, "Damage was seen by several members of the crew. This was a square positive hit... [and the] submarine was seen to keel over to starboard."
The sighting of the submarine was confirmed by a minesweeper called the USS Condor. But Admiral Kimmel decided to "wait for verification of the report" before raising the alarm to the rest of the US Pacific Fleet in Pearl Harbor, they reported.
Prior to the attack, Admiral Richardson was stripped of his command of Pearl Harbor by FDR, for warning of the fleet's vulnerability. Command of the base was given to Admiral Kimmel.
Not only was the Pearl Harbor fleet intentionally lined up nose tip to nose tip for Japan’s carpet-bombing convenience, but all the brand-new US ships and aircraft were moved away, leaving only the older ships to be sacrificed.
“According to author John Toland, separate warnings regarding a pending attack on Pearl Harbor, though varying as to a specific time, came from U.S. ambassador to Japan Joseph Crew; FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, Senator Guy Gillette, Congressman Martin Dies, Brigadier General Elliot Thorpe in Java, and Colonel F. G. I.. Weijerman, the Dutch military attaché in Washington.
Later, Dutch naval officer, Captain Johan Ranneft, said sources in U.S. Intelligence told him on December 6 that the Japanese carriers were only four hundred miles northwest of Hawaii. During investigations after the attack, Marshall and Navy Secretary Frank Knox both testified they could not recall their whereabouts the night of December 6. It was later revealed that they were both in the White House with Roosevelt.” (Jim Marrs, “Rule by Secrecy”)
Other evidence includes a letter from one of the commissioner’s secretaries indicating that officials were not to issue passports. The secretary states that she wrote more than 5,000 letters rejecting passport applications during the buildup to Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor." (2) (Paul Joseph Watson, Order Out Of Choas, 2003)
Furthermore, we had knowledge from our intercepts in late November to early December 1941. The man in charge in Hawaii, Admiral James Richardson, refused to move the ships to Pearl Harbor. Why? Because he felt that there was inadequate protection from air attack and no protection from torpedo attack. Richardson felt so strongly that he twice disobeyed orders to berth his fleet there and he raised the issue personally with President Franklin D. Roosevelt (FDR) in October 1941, and he was soon after replaced. The successor, Admiral Husband Kimmel, would bring up the same issues with FDR in June 1941. Here is something else I have read.

In 1994 the NSA published that JN-25B was completely cracked in December 1940. In January 1941 the US gave Britain two JN-25B code books with keys and techniques for deciphering. [British Prime Minister Winston] Churchill wrote, "From the end of 1940 the Americans had pierced the vital Japanese ciphers, and were decoding large numbers of their military and diplomatic telegrams." (GRAND ALLIANCE p. 598)
The official US Navy statement on JN-25B is the Naval Security Group History to World War II prepared by Captain J. Holtwick in June 1971, page 398: By 1 December 1941 we had the code solved to a readable extent." Chief of Navy codebreaking Safford reported that during 1941 "The Navy COMINT team did a thorough job on the Japanese Navy with no help from the Army."(SRH-149) The first paragraph of the Congressional Report Exhibit 151 says the US was "currently" (instantly) reading JN-25B and exchanging the "translations" with the British prior to Pearl Harbor."

The entire Pearl Harbor scheme was laid out in this code. In 1979 the NSA released 2,413 JN-25 orders of the 26,581 intercepted by US between Sept 1 and Dec 4, 1941. The NSA says "We know now that they contained important details concerning the existence, organization, objective, and even the whereabouts of the Pearl Harbor Strike Force." (Parker, PH Revisited p. 21) Of the over thousand radio messages sent by Tokyo to the attack fleet, only 20 are in the National Archives. All messages to the attack fleet were sent several times, at least one message was sent every odd hour of the day and each had a special serial number. Starting in early November 1941 when the attack fleet assembled and started receiving radio messages, OP-20-G stayed open 24 hours a day and the "First Team" of codebreakers worked on JN-25. In November and early December 1941, OP-20-G spent 85 percent of its effort reading Japanese Navy traffic, 12 percent on Japanese diplomatic traffic and 3 percent on German naval codes.
FDR was personally briefed twice a day on JN-25 traffic by his aide, Captain John Beardell, and demanded to see the original raw messages in English. The US Government refuses to identify or declassify any pre-Dec 7, 1941 decrypts of JN-25 on the basis of national security, a half-century after the war.

a Top Secret Army Board report of October 1944 clearly states that in the period leading up to Pearl Harbor, the US military received information regarding the intentions of the Japanese to declare war, including specific details of when the attack on Pearl Harbor would occur, In this period numerous pieces of information came to our State, War and Navy Departments in all of their top ranks indicating precisely the intentions of the Japanese including the probable exact hour and date of the attack. (3)
Also, there was a British double agent, Dusko Popov, who had given the Americans a complete account of the plan FOUR months prior to the attack. He thought we kicked their butts, but was stunned to hear of the success of the raid. He would say, "I was sure the American fleet had scored a great victory over the Japanese. I was very, very proud that I had been able to give the warning to the Americans four months in advance. What a reception the Japanese must have had!" He had given the information to the FBI. Does this sound familiar?
In Singapore the day after the attack, Royal Navy codebreaker Tommy Wisden asked incredulously, "With all the information we gave them. How could the Americans have been caught unprepared?"
I could go on and on, but I'll finish with this from Winston Churchill.

26 Nov. 3 A.M. - Churchill sent an urgent secret message to FDR, probably containing above message. This message caused the greatest agitation in DC. Stark testified under oath that "On November 26 there was received specific evidence of the Japanese intention to wage offensive war against Great Britain and the United States." C.I.A. Director William Casey, who was in the OSS in 1941, in his book ‘The Secret War Against Hitler’, p. 7, wrote "The British had sent word that a Japanese fleet was steaming east toward Hawaii.”
Washington, in an order of Nov 26 as a result of the "first shot" meeting the day before, ordered both US aircraft carriers, the Enterprise and the Lexington out of Pearl Harbor "as soon as practicable." This order included stripping Pearl of 50 planes or 40 percent of its already inadequate fighter protection. In response to Churchill's message, FDR secretly cabled him that afternoon - "Negotiations off. Services expect action within two weeks." Note that the only way FDR could have linked negotiations with service action, let alone have known the timing of the action, was if he had the message to sail. In other words, the only service action contingent on negotiations was Pearl Harbor.

The evidence at this point in time is overwhelming that the top echelon of the U.S. Government was aware of the attack at Pearl Harbor before it occurred. Final proof comes from a Top Secret Army Board report of October 1944 clearly states that in the period leading up to Pearl Harbor, the US military received information regarding the intentions of the Japanese to declare war, including specific details of when the attack on Pearl Harbor would occur, In this period numerous pieces of information came to our State, War and Navy Departments in all of their top ranks indicating precisely the intentions of the Japanese including the probable exact hour and date of the attack.

The Roberts Commission was a precursor to the Warren Commission. Supreme Court Justice Owen Roberts headed two “investigations" into the attack at Pearl Harbor as many people from the beginning had suspicions about the official explanation.
Of course, the Roberts Commission found nothing outside of the official explanation. Doesn't this sound familiar?

Eight Point Plan To Force Japan To Attack The United States From The McCollum Memorandum:

All messages to the attack fleet were sent several times, at least one message was sent every odd hour of the day and each had a special serial number. Starting in early November 1941 when the attack fleet assembled and started receiving radio messages, OP-20-G stayed open 24 hours a day and the "First Team" of codebreakers worked on JN-25. In November and early December 1941, OP-20-G spent 85 percent of its effort reading Japanese Navy traffic, 12 percent on Japanese diplomatic traffic and 3 percent on German naval codes.
FDR was personally briefed twice a day on JN-25 traffic by his aide, Captain John Beardell, and demanded to see the original raw messages in English. The US Government refuses to identify or declassify any pre-Dec 7, 1941 decrypts of JN-25 on the basis of national security, a half-century after the war.

a Top Secret Army Board report of October 1944 clearly states that in the period leading up to Pearl Harbor, the US military received information regarding the intentions of the Japanese to declare war, including specific details of when the attack on Pearl Harbor would occur, In this period numerous pieces of information came to our State, War and Navy Departments in all of their top ranks indicating precisely the intentions of the Japanese including the probable exact hour and date of the attack.

Also, there was a British double agent, Dusko Popov, who had given the Americans a complete account of the plan FOUR months prior to the attack. He thought we kicked their butts, but was stunned to hear of the success of the raid. He would say, "I was sure the American fleet had scored a great victory over the Japanese. I was very, very proud that I had been able to give the warning to the Americans four months in advance. What a reception the Japanese must have had!" He had given the information to the FBI. Does this sound familiar?
In Singapore the day after the attack, Royal Navy codebreaker Tommy Wisden asked incredulously, "With all the information we gave them. How could the Americans have been caught unprepared?"
I could go on and on, but I'll finish with this from Winston Churchill.

26 Nov. 3 A.M. - Churchill sent an urgent secret message to FDR, probably containing above message. This message caused the greatest agitation in DC. Stark testified under oath that "On November 26 there was received specific evidence of the Japanese intention to wage offensive war against Great Britain and the United States." C.I.A. Director William Casey, who was in the OSS in 1941, in his book ‘The Secret War Against Hitler’, p. 7, wrote "The British had sent word that a Japanese fleet was steaming east toward Hawaii.”
Washington, in an order of Nov 26 as a result of the "first shot" meeting the day before, ordered both US aircraft carriers, the Enterprise and the Lexington out of Pearl Harbor "as soon as practicable." This order included stripping Pearl of 50 planes or 40 percent of its already inadequate fighter protection. In response to Churchill's message, FDR secretly cabled him that afternoon - "Negotiations off. Services expect action within two weeks." Note that the only way FDR could have linked negotiations with service action, let alone have known the timing of the action, was if he had the message to sail. In other words, the only service action contingent on negotiations was Pearl Harbor.

The evidence at this point in time is overwhelming that the top echelon of the U.S. Government was aware of the attack at Pearl Harbor before it occurred. Final proof comes from a Top Secret Army Board report of October 1944 clearly states that in the period leading up to Pearl Harbor, the US military received information regarding the intentions of the Japanese to declare war, including specific details of when the attack on Pearl Harbor would occur, In this period numerous pieces of information came to our State, War and Navy Departments in all of their top ranks indicating precisely the intentions of the Japanese including the probable exact hour and date of the attack.

The Roberts Commission was a precursor to the Warren Commission. Supreme Court Justice Owen Roberts headed two “investigations" into the attack at Pearl Harbor as many people from the beginning had suspicions about the official explanation.
Of course, the Roberts Commission found nothing outside of the official explanation. Doesn't this sound familiar?
