HOW-OF-WHY

The last eight years show just how deceitful U.S. presidents can be. The past provides portraits of how it has changed history and how greed, ego, war and national armed force seems to guide Presidential power

As of 1940, Franklin Delano Roosevelt had failed for eight years to get America out of the Great Depression। FDR knew his historical legacy was destroyed if he couldn't come up with something big to overshadow his failure stoping the Great Depression. The mass media in America had been pushing for America to enter World War Two on England's side. Roosevelt decided to rescue his historical legacy and satisfy the media by pushing America into World War Two, despite the massive opposition to another war by the majority of Americans.

(A very few small nations such as Sweden and Switzerland have successfully avoided the bloodbaths of recent wars. Both of these nations are prosperous and have avoided amassing huge national debts that usually happens during major wars).

America was at peace until Pearl Harbor was attacked (Dec. 7th, 1941).The American public had pressured Congress into creating a series of Neutrality Acts during the 1930s. Most Americans saw World War One as a needless and costly war that America had been misled into entering. The USA lost 120,000 soldiers to warfare and disease, and another 200,000 had been injured. American’s perception is that our nation got exactly nothing out of World War One, but had insured that England avoided losing the war. The Neutrality Acts were designed to keep America from selling weapons to belligerent nations engaged in war.

FDR had promised the American public that he would keep America out of war during the Presidential campaign in 1940. Then as soon as he won the election, FDR began work, doing everything he could to push America into the war. Roosevelt secretly allowed tons of war material to be shipped to the English from the very start of the war in Europe. He completely ignored the Neutrality Act when he gave the British 50 destroyers in September 1940. England had illegally received long range Catalina observation aircraft from America, thanks to Roosevelt. One of these Catalinas played an important role, spotting the German Battleship Bismarck, which led to its sinking. Roosevelt passed the Lend Lease Act in March 1941. England then received unlimited military aid from the U.S. Shortly after Germany invaded the Soviet Union. FDR began sending military aid to the the Soviet Union, sending two billion dollars in war material before Pearl Harbor. Most Americans opposed Communism, yet Roosevelt sent Stalin two billion in weapons.

In August 1941 the U.S. was still at peace, FDR secretly met Winston Churchill in the north Atlantic on a British Battleship and established the "Atlantic Charter." The Atlantic Charter called for "free trade, self-governed nations and military disarmament." But Roosevelt and Churchill made plans to pull America into the war ignoring of what the American public wanted. The Atlantic Charter proved to be a joke. India and the Philippines somehow never got "self-determination" under Churchill and Roosevelt. The "free trade" provision was violated in just a few months when FDR ordered an embargo of scrap iron and oil against Japan. FDR was arming America to the teeth and reinstating the draft in despite to his call for "military disarmament."

The truth always comes out in the long run, and the more truth that comes out, the worse FDR looks. Two incidents were well known from 1941, which involved German submarines torpedoing U.S. destroyers. FDR had ordered US destroyers to hunt down German U-Boats. If the American destroyer sunk the U-Boat, it was covered up. If the U-Boat defended itself and sunk the American destroyer, the Germans portrayed it as an “unprovoked” hostile action. FDR traded the lives of American sailors on a destroyer for a chance to get into World War Two.

FDR discovered another way to World War Two by way of Japan. In July of 1941, Japanese assets in England and America were frozen, illegally confiscating Japanese property. Churchill and FDR cutting off 90% of Japan’s oil supply and 75% of its foreign trade, also imposed a trade embargo. During a meeting with Churchill in August of 1941, Roosevelt made an agreement with Churchill to declare war on Japan if Japan invaded British or Dutch colonies in Asia. On November 26th, 1941, FDR's Secretary of State Cordell Hull delivered an ultimatum to Japan; dictating what policies Japan must follow.

FDR approved a CIA operation in April 1941 to allow American fighter pilots to transfer to the "Flying Tigers" squadron to fight the Japanese in China. The CIA actually recruited fighter pilots from aircraft carriers and fighter bases during peacetime. The first pilots arrived in China in September 1941. The Flying Tigers had every intention of waging war on Japan whether war officially broke out or not.

Before the Pearl Harbor attack, 80% of Americans opposed getting involved in World Two. And FDR had covertly sent massive military aid to the English and the Soviets and did everything possible to ignore the interests of the majority of American citizens. FDR was another deceitful President. World War Two increasingly looks like a war that did not the highest interests of Americans.

It is clear that FDR and Churchill did all they could think of to get Japan to attack English or American Pacific islands.

On November 25, 1941 Japan’s Admiral Yamamoto sent a radio message to the group of Japanese warships that would attack Pearl Harbor on December 7. Publicly released naval records prove that from November 17 to 25 the United States Navy intercepted eighty-three messages that Yamamoto sent to his carriers. Part of the November 25 message read: “...the task force, keeping its movements strictly secret and maintaining close guard against submarines and aircraft, shall advance into Hawaiian waters, and upon the very opening of hostilities shall attack the main force of the United States fleet in Hawaii and deal it a mortal blow...”

Since World War II many people (notably Gore Vidal) have claimed that Washington knew the attack was coming. When Thomas Dewey was running for president against Roosevelt in 1944 he discovered America’s ability to intercept Japan’s radio messages, and thought this knowledge would enable him to defeat FDR. Dewey planned a series of speeches charging FDR with foreknowledge of the attack. General George Marshall, then Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, persuaded Dewey not to make the speeches.

Japan’s naval leaders did not realize America had cracked their codes, and Dewey’s speeches could have revealed America’s code-breaking advantage. So, Dewey said nothing, and FDR was elected president for the fourth time.

Robert Stinnett, author of Day Of Deceit, provides the proof. Stinnett’s book is dedicated to Congressman John Moss, the author of America’s Freedom of Information Act. According to Stinnett, the answers to the secrets of Pearl Harbor can be found in the large number of documents he was able to attain through Freedom of Information Act requests. Cable after cable of decryptions, scores of military messages that America was intercepting, clearly showed that Japanese ships were preparing for war and heading straight for Hawaii. Stinnett, an author, journalist, and World War II veteran, spent sixteen years delving into the National Archives. He read over more than 200,000 documents, and conducted dozens of interviews. The research led Stinnet to this conclusion: FDR knew.
“Your boys are not going to be sent into any foreign wars,” was Roosevelt’s campaign statement of 1940. He wasn’t being kidding. FDR’s military and State Department leaders agreed that a victorious Nazi Germany would threaten the national security of the United States. In White House meetings the strong feeling was that America needed a call to action. This is not what the public wanted, however. Again, eighty to ninety percent of the American people wanted nothing to do with another European war. According to Stinnett, FDR provoked Japan to attack the USA, let it happen at Pearl Harbor, and used it to lead the country into another war. Many who knew Roosevelt during that time hinted that FDR wasn’t being forthright about his intentions in Europe. After the attack, on the Sunday evening of December 7, 1941, Roosevelt had a brief meeting in the White House with Edward R. Murrow, the journalist, and William Donovan, the founder of the Office of Strategic Services. Later Donovan told an assistant that he believed FDR welcomed the attack and didn’t seem surprised. The only thing Roosevelt seemed to care about, Donovan felt, was if the public would now support a Declaration of War. In October 1940 FDR adopted a specific strategy to incite Japan to commit an overt act of war. Part of the strategy was to move America’s Pacific fleet out of California and anchor it in Pearl Harbor. Admiral James Richardson, the commander of the Pacific fleet, very strongly opposed keeping the ships in harm’s way in Hawaii. He expressed this to Roosevelt, and so the President relieved him of his command. Later Richardson quoted Roosevelt as saying: “Sooner or later the Japanese will commit an overt act against the United States and the nation will be willing to enter the war.”

If you believe that government conspiracies can’t possibly happen, Day Of Deceit proves otherwise. Stinnett’s well researched and documented book makes the case that the highest officials of the government—including the highest official—fooled and deceived millions of Americans about one of the most important days in the history of the country. It now is considered one of the most definitive book on the subject. Gore Vidal has said, “...Robert Stinnet has come up with most of the smoking guns. Day Of Deceit shows that the famous ‘surprise’ attack was no surprise to our war-minded rulers...” And John Toland, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of the Pearl Harbor book, Infamy, said, “Step by step, Stinnett goes through the prelude to war, using new documents to reveal the terrible secrets that have never been disclosed to the public. It is disturbing that eleven presidents, including those I admired, kept the truth from the public until Stinnett’s Freedom of Information Act requests finally persuaded the Navy to release the evidence.”

We citizens and organizations will be damaged by the Federal BAIL OUT scheme. I'll let the analysis of an older, funnier, wiser writer explain what is happening, how it works, and why WE THE PEOPLE have allowed our government to be hi-jacked (again).
THIS I BELIEVE

"Forget the politicians, they're their an irrelevant...
The politicians are put there to give you the idea
that you have freedom of choice.

You don't.

You have no choice.

You have owners.
They own you.

They own everything.
They own all the important land.
They own and control the corporations.
They've long since bought and paid for the Senate, the Congress, the State houses, the city halls, they've got the judges in their back pockets, and they own all the big media companies, so they control just about all the news and information you get to hear.

They gotcha by the %#@® s!

They spend billions of dollars every year, lobbying.
Lobbying to get what they want.

Well, we know what they want. They want more for themselves and less for everybody, but I'll tell you what they don't want.
They don't want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking.
They don't want well informed , well educated people capable of critical thinking.
They're not interested in that.
That doesn't help them.
That's right.

You know something?
They don't want people who are smart enough to sit around the kitchen table to figure out how badly they're getting %#@®ed by a system that threw them overboard thirty %#@®ing years ago. They don't want that.

Ya' know what they want?
They want obedient workers.
Obedient workers!
People who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork and just dumb enough to passively accept all these increasingly shittier jobs with the lower pay, the longer hours, the reduced benefits, the end of overtime, and the vanishing pension that disappears the moment you go to collect it.
And now they're coming for your social security money. They want your %#@®ing retirement money. They want it back, so they can give it to their criminal friends on Wall Street.
And ya know something, they'll get it.
They'll get it all from you, sooner or later.
'Cause they own this %#@®ing place.

Its a big club, and you ain't in it!
You and I are not in the big club.
And by the way, its the same big club they use to beat you over the head with all day long, when they tell yo what to believe.
All day long beating ya' over the head in their media, telling you what to believe, what to think, and what to buy.

The table is tilted, folks.
The game is rigged.
And nobody seems to notice.
Nobody seems to care.
Good, honest, hard working people, white collar, blue collar. It doesn't matter what color shirt you have on. Good, honest, hard working people continue - these are people of modest means - continue to elect these rich cock suckers who don't give a %#@® about them!

They don't give a %#@® about you!
They don't give a %#@® about you!
They don't care about you!
At all!
At all!
At all!

Ya know, and nobody seems to notice. Nobody seems to care.

That's what the Owners count on, the fact Americans will probably remain willfully ignorant of the big red, white and blue
%#@® that is being jammed up their %#@® everyday.

Because the Owners of this country know the truth:
its called the American Dream,

This is an historical moment in our nation's history.

The Bush/Cheny Administration transformed the USA into the
UNITED STATES OF FEAR.

Now the McCain/Palin team will transform the nation into
THE UNITED STATES OF STUPIDITY!

One nation, under stupidity:
When defending the phrase “one nation under God” in the Pledge of Allegiance, Governor/VP Wanna-be Palin said,

“If it was good enough for the founding fathers, its good enough for me and I’ll fight in defense of our Pledge of Allegiance.”

Really. Interesting.

Reality check time Mrs. Palin:

The Pledge of Allegiance was written in 1892, long after the founding fathers died. The phrase “one nation under God” was added in 1954…

"Don't know much about history" I guess.

Or the Constitution.

Or evolution.

Or birth control.

Sarah Palin advocates abstinence.

Oh if she would practice what she preaches and abstain from running for public office, using a gun, teaching her nut-case, whacko beliefs to her kids, and ever speaking in public.

The Dalai Lama has been a life long example of an advocate and practitioner of World PEACE. China's vile President Hu Jintao has no record except for corruption, violence, murder, torture and shame.

Where are the American Presidential Candidates on Tibet freedom, citizen safety, religious freedom and independence?

I read that one of Obama's half brothers lives in China.
(Barack's daddy, Obama Sr. fathered eight children with four women)

Where are Clinton & McCain on Tibet?

My sense is every American must become an activist for Tibet. Use the planned Olympics, do not boycott them. Every American there becomes a supporter of Tibet and the Dalai Lama. Every Olympic event begins with a silent protest where all Americans (and our friends) raise a fist holding a small card or banner reading FREE TIBET. Every business, political, personal interaction begins and ends with a minute lecture to the Chinese and a demand for President Hu Jintao's resignation, trial and imprisonment.

FREE TIBET

YOU HAVE TO SEARCH FOR IT.

Saeed Sheikh linked to Osama Bin Laden, al-Qaeda, Pakistan’s intelligence agency - the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), the CIA, mujaheddin guerrillas in Afghanistan, the Saudi Arabian government, 9/11 and our own government.

All of it has been documented on the London Times, Time Magazine, CNN, The New York Times, The Nation, The Sydney Morning Herald, The Minneapolis Star Tribune, The Times of India, The Wall Street Journal, and others.

"Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh, the son of a wealthy Pakistani clothing manufacturer. He grew up in London, a brilliant student attending the best private schools. He studied mathematics and statistics at the London School of Economics. While still at school, he started a successful shares and equities business and also was a chess champion, world class arm wrestler, and martial arts expert—a rare combination of physical and mental prowess." - The South Asian Outlook, 3/02

I was recently listening to some news and heard that Benazir Bhutto's 19 year old son has stepped forward to take leadership of her Peoples Political Party. Seems like he is volunteering to also be assassinated.

Benazir Bhutto herself seemed to be willing to give her own life when she was interviewed by Sir David Frost in November 2007. This was just after the failed assassination attempt on her in Karachi.

At that time she spoke of many things related to her nation and what had and was happening and who was, in her opinion, most dedicated to killing her. She spoke of wanting the retired Brigadier Ejaz Shah to be removed by Musharraf because he (Musharraf) had put Brigadier Ejaz Shah in supervision of the security that was supposed to protect her (Bhutto) in her travel within Pakistan. The problem being that Brigadier Ejaz Shah had been he the handling officer of Osama bin Laden and Taliban chief Mulla Omar when he was attached with the Pakistan Inter-Services Intelligence.

One of the most surprising revelations was her belief that Ossama bin Laden was dead.

But the details are even more revealing.

She said he was murdered by Omar Sheikh. Sheikh has also been implicated in the kidnapping and murder of American Journalist, Daniel Pearl, and is now imprisoned in Pakistan.

Omar Sheikh is Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh. Other aliases are “Sheik Syed” &"Mustafa Muhammad Ahmad". He is s a British-born militant of Pakistani descent with alleged links to various Islamic-based organizations, including Jaish-e-Mohammed, Al-Qaeda, and Harkat-ul-Mujahideen. He was originally recruited by British intelligence agency, MI6, while studying at the London School of Economics.

I repeat, he was hired & trained by the British!

Omar Sheikh was sent to the Balkans by the British MI6 to engage in jihadi operations. Pakistan’s Musharraf later claimed that "At some point, he probably became a rogue or double agent". In other words he was trained by the British and then flipped sides.

On October 6, 2001, a senior-level U.S. government official told CNN that U.S. investigators had discovered Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh, using the alias "Mustafa Muhammad Ahmad" had sent about $100,000 from the United Arab Emirates to Mohammed Atta. "Investigators said Atta then distributed the funds to conspirators in Florida in the weeks before the deadliest acts of terrorism on U.S. soil that destroyed the World Trade Center, heavily damaged the Pentagon and left thousands dead. In addition, sources have said Atta sent thousands of dollars - believed to be excess funds from the operation - back to Saeed in the United Arab Emirates in the days before September 11. CNN later confirmed this. The 9/11 Commission's Final Report states that the source of the funds "remains unknown."

The Wall Street Journal was one of the only Western news organizations to follow up on the story, which is why Daniel Pearl got involved and why he was murdered.

Mohammed Atta was one of the suicide pilots who flew his Boeing into the World Trade Centre. General Mahmoud Ahmad, the FBI investigators found, fully knew about the transfer of money to Atta.

In the David Frost TV interview, Benazir Bhutto claims that Omar Sheik, the former MI6 agent now in a Pakistani prison killed Osama bin Laden.

And of course that makes all the bin Laden video and audio tapes bogus. The have been many reports stating that the Osama bin Laden in the video and audio tapes is an impersonator. And that makes our own CIA and Government assertions that they are valid to be lies. That fits nicely with the years of the Bush/Cheney lies to justify their Never-ending War. It also leads closer to the path that people in the Bush/Cheney cabal had knowledge of and perhaps a hand in 9/11. The Bush family business ties to the Saudis have pointed to it for years and as yet the real 9/11 questions asked have never been answered.

And perhaps the reason Bush abandoned looking for Osama was that he already knew that he had been murdered by a British spy.

You can watch the entire Frost interview of Benazir Bhutto HERE

Bhutto revels the murderer of Osama bib Laden at about 6 minutes and 10 seconds into the over 14 minute interview. David Frost doesn’t bat an eye, so one assumes that he was knowledgeable of this before the interview.

I am watching the congressional hearing that is questiong Eric Prince, the founder & CEO of Blackwater USA.

Why does is security of USA State department in IRAQ contracted out to mercenaries like Blackwater?

Why not our own military or State Department employees. Why not our own Secret Service?

Why do people like Prince and Bush talk like babies,
using the term "bad guys" to refer to the enemy?

IMHO all Blackwater government contracts should be terminated.

They should be investigated, charged and prosecuted for war profiteering,
as well as murder and many other war, criminal and corporate crime and offenses.

Eric Price and all Blackwater employees & contractors should be imprisoned
in Guantanamo until a full investigation is completed and published.
