Sorry OP
This conspiracy theory simply has too many people involved that would need to be kept quiet to
be anywhere near reasonable and viable.
We could call him that,but a more appropriate term would be that he was an evil genius and second in command of the third reich and a ww-1 combat injury is where his drug addiction originated from and anyways,as cruel and heartless as he was,his words above speak volumes about how governments all over the world lie to their people and create fasle flag events and wether he was a nazi,chinese or an eskimo doesnt matter,what hes saying is whats important to understand...

"Naturally the common people don't want war. Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country"

Terrible, disrespectful post OP. My grandfather always told of how he saw the Japanese faces in their planes, I can't believe that conspiracy theorists go this far, but hey, I guess you think there are no limits.

I thought there was a conspiracy all ready about pearl harbor.
Something about the Japanese squadron picked up on radar and a secret message
to the President and also wired telegram.
Military intelligence at the time was aware Japan was preparing for war. They just didn't know when.
The attack on Pearl Harbor was without a formal declaration of war. It was as surprise as to when. It was not a surprise that it would happen. We were unprepared and mistakes were made.
Our entire Pacific Fleet was nearly destroyed at Pearl Harbor. Had the carriers been there, it would have been the winning strike of the war. .

This guy looks Japanese:
Kazuo Sakamaki
Sakamaki was one of ten sailors (five officers and five petty officers) who volunteered to attack Pearl Harbor in two-man Ko-hyoteki class midget submarines on 7 December 1941. Of the ten, nine were killed (including the other crewman in his submarine, Kiyoshi Inagaki). Sakamaki had set an explosive charge to destroy his disabled submarine, which had been trapped on Waimanalo Beach, Oahu. When the explosives failed to go off, he swam to the bottom of the submarine to investigate the cause of the failure and became unconscious due to a lack of oxygen. Sakamaki was found by a Hawaiian soldier, David Akui, and was taken into military custody. When he awoke, he found himself in a hospital under American armed guard.
en.wikipedia.org...
When he could not repair the gyrocompass, Sakamaki ordered Petty Officer 2nd Class Inagaki Kiyoshi to swim ashore, while he set the demolition charges to destroy the submarine. Sakamaki then abandoned ship himself. Kiyoshi drowned attempting to swim ashore. Sakamaki succeeded, but passed out from exhaustion. Corporal Akui found him there.[5]
December 7. 1941 found the Hawaii Guardsman setting up defenses along the coast of Windward Oahu and it was here that the first Japanese prisoner-of-war was taken--by Guardsmen. Lieutenant Paul Plybon and Sergeant David Akui, members of Company "G" 298th Infantry, sighted and captured a two-man Japanese submarine that had washed ashore at Waimanalo. One of the occupants, an ensign was captured by the two guardsmen. The other crewman was found dead inside the craft.

Im sorry, I love a good conspiracy theory but just because FDR wanted the Japs to make the first move doesn't constitute a conspiracy.
The pearl harbor power station,shipyard and maintenance buildings were also not attacked...
The fuel and torpedo storage facilities were also not attacked...
The submarine piers and headquarters building were also not attacked...
The home of the military intelligence section was also not attacked...

Indeed America had a hand on some level in the attack happening but it was the Japanese who did the actual attack , why would the entire Japanese Carrier Fleet Lie about all of the events surrounding the attack ? Did AMerica know ..100 % YES . Did America secretly help stage it , scary thought .
