 LL> "Today is a day that will live in infamy."
 LL> - FDR, December 7, 1941

On November 29th, Secretary of State Cordell Hull secretly met with freelance
newspaper writer Joseph Leib. Leib had formerly held several posts in the
Roosevelt administration. Hull knew him and felt he was one newsman he could
trust. The secretary of state handed him copies of some of the Tokyo intercepts
concerning Pearl Harbor. He said the Japanese were planning to strike the base
and that FDR planned to let it happen. Hull made Leib pledge to keep his name
out of it, but hoped he could blow the story sky-high in the newspapers.

Leib ran to the office of his friend Lyle Wilson, the Washington bureau chief
of United Press. While keeping his pledge to Hull, he told Wilson the details
and showed him the intercepts. Wilson replied that the story was ludicrous and
refused to run it. Through connections, Leib managed to get a hurried version
onto UP's foreign cable, but only one newspaper carried any part of it.

After Pearl Harbor, Lyle Wilson called Leib to his office. He handed him a copy
of FDR's just-released "day of infamy" speech. The two men wept. Leib recounted
his story in the History Channel documentary, "Sacrifice at Pearl Harbor."

The foregoing represents just a sampling of evidence that Washington knew in
advance of the Pearl Harbor attack. For additional evidences, see Infamy: Pearl
Harbor and Its Aftermath by Pulitzer Prize-winning historian John Toland, and
Day of Deceit: The Truth about FDR and Pearl Harbor by Robert Stinnett. So
certain was the data that, at a private press briefing in November 1941,
General George Marshall confidently predicted that a Japanese-American war
would break out during the "first ten days of December."

 LL> offer by dropping not one, but two, atomic bombs on Japanese cities.
 LL> Hiroshima and Nagasaki. 1945
 LL> No other city has ever been atomized or nuked since.

For those who know what really happened in 1945, would call this MASS MURDER
using WMD's. I for one feel sorrow for the loss of life too all of the innocent
people who died. Both Japanese and American.

 LL> We should be proud of ourselves.

The only thing to be proud of is the knowledge that not all people think that
History can be found in a History class school book. I would hope that most
people would read more then just one book on any subject at hand. Then decide
for themself what really happened. I have know doubt FDR and his handlers are
dead somewhere in Hell, for treason against the USA.

Jefferson's Words Of Wisdom...

 God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion. The people
cannot be all, and always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be
discontented, in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive. If
they remain quiet under such misconceptions, it is lethargy, the forerunner of
death to the public liberty.... And what country can preserve its liberties, if
its rulers are not warned from time to time, that this people preserve the
spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to
the facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century
or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the
blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure.
                                          --Thomas Jefferson
