I cant believe this has been going on for 18 pages. you wont answer half of peoples questions and you provide no evidence what so ever for your crazy theory
go on provide us with just one piece of hard evidence
Kazuo Sakamaki is the "one" person that we are talking about here and he was kept under armed "american" guard and so how many people actually got to talk to him? How many people at the time were able to ask him where he really came from? He was supposedly one of the pilots of the supposedly japanese midget submarines and as another member has pointed out,there are several versions of the story relating to his capture and following the war,he never talked much about it.Imo,he was surely one of the many japanese americans,hawaiians and americans who were tricked,coerced and forced into attacking pearl harbor and threatened with death and the death of their families if they didnt comply...

What about the 100% verified japanese pilot captured?
I dont believe for a second that the japanese navy had any military or logistical intentions of sailing an entire naval fleet,along with 6 aircraft carriers,4,000 miles across the pacific ocean to attack one american navy harbor,especially not while they were simultaneously fighting in china, outer mongolia, burma, singapore, malaysia, thialand, new guinea and elsewhere...

Perhaps evidence is not the right word. Perhaps intention is not the right word either. However, any commander worth their own salt should have realized how unprepared and unorganized our Navy was at Pearl. Our state of readiness was laughable and should have been addressed to avoid an assault or attack on our Pacific forces. Unfortunate as well, not all intelligence and transmissions and movements have been fully declassified. It will be interesting to see what they reveal, if we ever get to seem them under FOIA.
...Admiral Kimmel nor General Short ever faced court martial. It is alleged this was to avoid disclosing information showing the U.S. had advanced knowledge of the attack. When asked, "Will historians know more later?", Kimmel replied, "' ... I'll tell you what I believe. I think that most of the incriminating records have been destroyed. ... I doubt if the truth will ever emerge.' ..." From Vice Admiral Libby, "I will go to my grave convinced that FDR ordered Pearl Harbor to let happen. He must have known."It is equally likely this was done to avoid disclosing the fact Japanese codes were being read, given there was a war on.
Pearl Harbor-Advanced Knowledge Conspiracy
How many times have we been fooled by propaganda like this?

Not one single american soldier,sailor or pilot made visual contact with the japanese fleet that was supposedly lurking in the area and sending in the attacking aircraft.But the two american aircraft carriers that conveniently just happened to not be in pearl harbor,were launching the attacking aircraft,imo...
The pearl harbor vengeance poster above,meant to amp up american rage and hate towards the japanese nation,could be used for the 911 attacks,just switch the exploding battleships shown in the poster with the twin towers collapsing and replace the fist waving american sailor with an american civilian in modern day attire...edit on 13-4-2012 by blocula because: (no reason given)

I was going to post my usual vitriol-laced 2-line rant, but I am trying to mellow out so I'll just politely declare that I heartily disagree with the OP.
Much obliged.
This needs to be said again, it's crazy to think otherwise.

911 is our generations Pearl Harbor and both of those terrible events caused great material destruction and thousands of dead and wounded people and both of them were fabricated,staged and carried out by the american government against their own people.To ensure massive public support for tptb's war machine and to guarantee that billions of dollars would be maneuvered into the over flowing bank accounts of our lying political elites and powerful industrialists...
Back in the late 1930's and early 40's,naval analysts and military intelligence were already well aware that battleships would soon become an obsolete weapon of the past and thats one of the reasons why the battleships were allowed to be bombed.Another reason being they were easier and cheaper to salvage and rebuild than aircraft carriers were...
Those naval analysts and intelligence people back then were also well aware that aircraft carriers would survive into the future and thats one of the reasons why those carriers just happened to be missing from pearl harbor during the attack.Another reason being they were the ships that were launching the waves of attacking airplanes designed by americans to look japanese...

We are told that nagumos massive fleet departed japanese waters in strictest secrecy.Of course,what else would we be told except,strictest secrecy?
The fleets route crossed the north pacific and avoided normal shipping lanes.Whats a normal shipping lane? do military ships usually use normal shipping lanes?
And that fleet,including 6 aircraft carriers,multitudes of other larger and smaller ships and 23 submarines,were supposedly able to sail totally undetected for 4,000 miles?!
One obvious reason they sailed undetected,is because the american long range ocean patrol airplanes were ordered grounded two days before the attack,of course and it would have been very hard for them to detect and visually sight a japanese fleet thats wasnt even there...
The real reason for those long range ocean patrol airplanes being grounded,was to ensure that the pilots of those airplanes wouldnt be able to see the american aircraft carriers enterprise and lexington launching the american built to look like japanese airplanes that attacked and bombed pearl harbor,imo...
The third american aircraft carrier saratoga,which also just happened to leave pearl harbor shortly before the attack,was supposedly being repaired on the american west coast...
