President Roosevelt knew about the Pearl Harbor attack ahead

lpstong

I watched a documentary on WWII and the Pearl Harbor attack(History Channel). Since it was the anniversary of the attack on December 8. I the documentary it said that the US has codebreakers and that they broke a code from the Japanese fore telling of the attack. This information apparently came across the Presidents desk I think they said march or may of that year. Later historians say that he let the attack happen so that the US had a reason to enter the war justifiably. And that the public would accept his reason of entering the war. They had other historian to debate this about President Roosevelts reasons of entering the war. But the information giving from the codebreakers are factual and can was just recently opened under the freedom of information act.

This is supposed to be in the conspiracy section....

I know a little bit about it.

Basically in a nutshell, he knew about it, he let it go, so he could attack Japan and be done with the war.

There are plenty of Loch Ness Monster documentaries on cable TV too

This is a conspiracy theory that has been floating around since the 1960's and is total nonsense. Read Sean Hannity's Let Freedom Ring where he debunks it. If a producer was making an Pearl Harbor Conspiracy documentary, do you really think he would give up half way into production if evidence that countermanded his stance came to light?

A good number of historians had talked and written about it and they include Churchill too. And the fact that the Americans didn't not want to have anything to do with the war, in spite of the political leaders persuasion to participate was also true.

Some ways that this is good is that it finalised and secured the escape from the Great Depression. Also, there were some documents added to the WWII classifide documents and we don't know which ones. We also committed numerous war criems there. However, these were not tried because the standard definition of a war crime at that point was "anything that the allies think was unhuman that the allies didn't do is a war crime."

The facts for the statement that you want them I can't give you as it was a show on the discovery channel. The war crimes were admitted to by former civilian engineers as they had been told to orchastrate the attack on Toyko to give the most possible deaths. This is one example.

If you saw that on the discovery channel then that info is setting out on their web site for you to go get and bring here. Let's see the additional documents were claimed above?!

So how does war exactly help the economy? Industrial and economical drain aswell as a decrease in population and morale( if you're losing) does not help either side's economy!
