They couldn’t moveOne thing missed in these Pearl Harbor conspiracies is that a newly invented radar system was in place and actually spotted the incomimg Japanese aircrafr coming in on rheir way ro Pearl. Radar operators reported in a timely fashion, but as Congressional hearing would discover, the officer in charge who received the warning was inexperienced and mistakenly judged the radar report to be about a group of B-17's scheduled to arrive from the opposite direction. What a difference it would have made if the warning from radar had been heeded. All those Battle Ships would have been locked and loaded. The surprise would have been on the Japs.Proof of FDR knowing of a Japanese code is a link to an obituary about a British guy who wrote a book accusing Churchill of refusing to share the code with FDR and luring FDR into WWII.Capt. Eric Nave, 94; Broke Japan's Code Before Pearl HarborJapanese Naval code was not broken by American code breakers until late May 1942. What evidence do you have that the code was broken before Pearl Harbor? Please provide a link. Thank you.[
In fact, before Pearl Harbor the US broke the Japanese code, so why were they not ready again like they were for the battle of Midway? Oh yea, cuz FRD wanted Americans to support his war mongering efforts by having them respond to a "surprise" attack.
Dan van derDat, a British military historian, wrote in The Guardian last week that Mr. Nave made "enormous inroads" into Japanese coded messages. In June 1939, shortly before World War II broke out in Europe, the Japanese Navy began using an important new code. Captain Nave was able to read it by the end of the year.
He drew on his experiences in his book, "Betrayal at Pearl Harbor: How Churchill Lured Roosevelt Into World War II," which was published in the United States by Summit Books. Its other co-author was James Rusbridger.
The authors contend that if Britain had shared its understanding of the Japanese Navy's codes with the United States all through 1941, the Japanese force that mounted the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941, might have been crushed by forewarned American defenders.
"The denial of this information was no accident," the book says, "but the deliberate policy of Churchill himself to achieve his aim of dragging America into the war."
Is there someone competent and not retarded who can help these guy's out?
The historian was only privy that the code had been broken well before Pearl Harbor.
It is up to you to believe that Churchill never shared this information and KNEW that Japan was coming for Pearl Harbor and did nothing, thus risking the total destruction of the US fleet which would have been disastrous for the war US war effort against the Nazi regime.
I simply don't believe it, and you certainly won't find any war documents showing that such sensitive information was ever shared.
I find it interesting that the US fleet at Pearl Harbor had just enough ships out to sail to be able to fight at Midway later on and win.
They still would have been sitting ducks.
