The risky raid on the U.S. Navy’s mighty Pacific Fleet was going ahead! According to the decrypted text, the opening salvo of a coordi- nated naval offensive set to sweep from Hawaii to the Philippines would be signaled by Radio Tokyo weather report forecasting “east rain”.i Swinging at anchor in foggy Hitokappu Bay on November 19, 1941, the remote Kurile Islands afforded Yamamato’s Kido Butai “Striking Fleet” apparent security, as well as a shortened Great-Circle course to Oahu. But Japan’s top admiral would have been less sanguine if he’d known that a Dutch submarine had tracked his fleet here. Fortunately for Yamamoto, a newly elected American administration secretly bent on war never relayed the allied sighting report to the com- mander of the U.S. Pacific Fleet in Hawaii.ii Five days later, Yamamoto sent a teletype message from his flag- ship, the battleship Nagato to the commander of his 1st Air Fleet. Admiral Nagumo read it eagerly: The task force, keeping its movement strictly secret and maintain- ing 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. At least, Yamamoto hoped so. Japan’s most respected admiral had already warned his superiors that tiny Japan could not hope to win a drawn-out war against the United States. The most they could expect to achieve would be to force Washington to negotiate a settlement advan- tageous to Japan after sinking American’s newest carriers and other capitol ships at anchor in Pearl Harbor. But nervous officials in Tokyo were prepared to abort the attack if last-minute diplomacy proved successful in salvaging Japan’s oil 1 Days of Deception: Ground Zero and Beyond lifeline. Even though surprise was essential, maintaining operational radio silence was simply not an option. No one responsible for this desperate gamble suspected that the Americans had recently broken Japan’s obsolete naval codes. facing the open Pacific above Kaneohe Bay, a radio intercept facility dubbed “Station H” immediately intercepted Yamamoto’s sortie order to Admiral Nagumo. U.S. Navy decrypters on Oahu quickly forwarded the decoded message to Washington. The British were also listening in on November 25. At three in the morning Washington time, Winston Churchill cabled urgent word to the White House that a Japanese fleet was steaming east toward Hawaii. iii FDR tersely telexed back: Negotiations off. Services expect action within two weeks. iv FLEET PREPAREDNESS EXERCISE 191 Even though these warnings, and many others were deliberately kept from him, America’s top naval commander in Hawaii was deter- mined to keep the islands’ approaches clear. Acting on a hunch, Admiral Kimmell dispatched two aircraft carriers and a fleet of heavy escorts to a conspicuous seamount northwest of the Big Island, where he correctly assumed that any oncoming Japanese fleet would use to assemble. v The two forces nearly collided. But instead of warning Admiral Kimmell of the Japanese strike force approaching his scouting fleet’s position, the White House complained that Kimmell’s Fleet Preparedness Exercise 191 was “complicating the situation,” and ordered him to return his ships immediately to Pearl Harbor. All U.S. commercial ships transiting the North Pacific were also directed to take the southern route so that, as Admiral Turner later told Congress, “the track of the Japanese task force would be clear of any traffic…” that might radio a warning. vi TAKE YOUR BEST SHOT Franklin Delano Roosevelt was about to get the war he wanted. After meeting with the President on November 26, Secretary of War Stimson recounted, “In spite of the risk involved, however, in letting the Japanese fire the first shot, we realized that in order to have the full support of the American people it was desirable to make sure that the Japanese be the ones to do this so that there should remain no doubt in anyone’s mind as to who were the aggressors.” Described by a close friend as “a man who never told the truth if 2 Prelude: Pearl Harbor a lie would suffice,” FDR had won the presidency the previous year by promising Americans, “Your boys are not going to be sent into any for- eign wars.” It was a pledge everyone wanted to hear. With memories of the last Great Slaughter in the mud of France seared into the American psy- che, polls showed the nation nearly unanimously opposed to becoming enmeshed in a European war. As retired U.S. Navy Commander Robert Stinnett later docu- mented in Day of Deceit, from which this book deliberately takes its title, the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor was provoked and facilitated by Washington in accordance to a plan drawn up by Lieutenant Commander Arthur McCollum in the Office of Naval Intelligence. In naval intelligence memo 0P-16-F-2 sent to Roosevelt on October 7, 1940, McCollum had argued, “once the British Empire is gone the power of Japan-Germany and Italy is to be directed against the United States.” vii But how? In May 1941 Assistant Secretary of State Adolf Berle had flatly declared, “A naval invasion of the Western Hemisphere is out of the question.” As author Paul Atwood further explained, “neither Germany nor Japan had aircraft carriers that could get within range of the American mainland [and] no long-range bomber existed that could reach the U.S. across either the Pacific or Atlantic.” viii The principle danger to America was economic. The country’s business leaders were already loudly warning that if Hitler’s conquests continued, products produced in Nazi slave-labor camps would drive them out of world markets. The tyrant whose political comeback had been financed by Prescott Bush through his Harriman Brothers bank must now be stopped! By engaging German U-boats while escorting American mer- chant ships across the North Atlantic to Great Britain, the U.S. Navy was already violating the Neutrality Act. As Chief of Naval Operations Harold Stark wrote to a subordinate: “The country doesn’t seem to real- ize... we are at war.” ix The challenge facing the Roosevelt administration was how to make that status official in

  • Debunking 911 Myths.Pdf
    PRAISE FOR DEBUNKING 9111 MYTHS "Debunking 9111 Myths is a reliable and rational answer to the many fanciful conspiracy theories about 9/11. Despite the fact that the myths are fictitious, many have caught on with those who do not trust their government to tell the truth anymore. Fortunately, the govern­ ment is not sufficiently competent to pull off such conspiracies and too leaky to keep them secret. What happened on 9/11 has been well established by the 9/11 Commission. What did not happen has now been clearly explained by Popular Mechanics." -R 1 cHARD A. cLARKE, former national security advisor, author of Against All Enemies: Inside America's War on Terror "This book is a victory for common sense; 9/11 conspiracy theorists beware: Popular Mechanics has popped your paranoid bubble world, using pointed facts and razor-sharp analysis." -Au s T 1 N BAY, national security columnist (Creators Syndicate), author (with James F. Dunnigan) of From Shield to Storm: High-Tech Weapons, Military Strategyand Coalition Warfare in the Persian Gulf "Even though I study weird beliefs for a living, I never imagined that the 9/11 conspiracy theories that cropped up shortly after that tragic event would ever get cultural traction in America, but here we are with a plethora of conspiracies and no end in sight. What we need is a solid work of straightforward debunking, and now we have it in Debunking 9111 Myths. The Popular Mechanics article upon which the book is based was one of the finest works of investigative journalism and skep­ tical analysis that I have ever encountered, and the book-length treat­ ment of this codswallop will stop the conspiracy theorists in their fantasy-prone tracks.

Vaikka lainsäädäntöä on pyritty uudistamaan ja hallintorakenteita implementoimaan kohti läpinäkyvämpää toimintaa, taloudelliset väärinkäytökset ovat kasvaneet finanssikriisin aikana ja sen jälkeen uusiin mittakaavoihin. Tämän tutkimuksen tavoitteena on selvittää taloudellisen väärinkäytöskolmion elementtien yhteys taloudellisiin väärinkäytöksiin sekä päivittää aikaisemmin 2000- luvulla tehtyjä tutkimuksia. Tässä tutkimuksessa selvitetään, voidaanko Cresseyn 1950- luvulla luoman taloudellisen väärinkäytöskolmion avulla havaita ja ennustaa taloudellisia väärinkäytöksiä. Tutkimusasetelma luotiin siten, että Yhdysvaltojen arvopaperimarkkinoita valvovan elimen, Securities and Exchange Commissionin, verkkosivuilta etsittiin vuosina 2015−2019 julkaistut mediatiedotteet taloudellisista väärinkäytöksistä ja niitä tehneistä yhtiöistä.

  • Why Doesn't Jimmy Walter Take Jimmy Walter Seriously?
    home | archives | polls | search Why Doesn't Jimmy Walter Take Jimmy Walter Seriously? Jimmy Walter is a millionaire and a conspiracy theorist who thinks the US government was responsible for the 9/11 attack. He is annoyed because people don't take him seriously: "I am a patriot fighting the real traitors who are destroying our democracy. I resent it when they call me delusional," he said. His second mistake is to try to solve this problem by offering $100,000 to the first engineering student who can show that the World Trade Center collapsed in the manner described by the government. Walter said that the contest would be judged by a panel of expert engineers. He imagines that nobody will manage to win and so he will be vindicated. Now, before we consider that, we have to wonder why anybody should take Mr Walter's ideas seriously when Mr Walter himself does not? Why do we say this? Mr Walter does not believe the government's story, but there is no reason why one has to believe it in order to test it. The laws of physics and chemistry governing the behaviour of towers and aircraft are fairly uncontroversial. So a decent team of engineers could run a computer simulation, build scale model, and so on, of how the government said the crash happened. If the towers don't fall down during this test then it would constitute a prima facie criticism of the government's explanation of the events of 9/11. If his panel of engineers is competent to judge candidate explanations for 9/11 then surely they ought to be able to come up with such a test themselves.

The statement was made in an exclusive interview with the Spanish television broadcast, in response to the question about holocaust. "I just raised two questions on the issue. Does EU consider questions as a crime. Today, anywhere in the world, one can raise questions about God, prophets, existence and any other issue. "Why historical events should not be clarified?" asked the chief executive. Turning to his first question, he said, "If a historical event has taken place, why do you not allow research to be conducted on it. What is the mystery behind it, given that even fresh research is conducted on definite rules of mathematics and physics.?" Ahmadinejad referred to his first question, "If such an event has actually taken place, where did it happen? Why should the Palestinian people become homeless (because of this)? "Why should Palestinian children, women and mothers be killed on streets every day for 60 years?" The president said that these innocent people losing their lives had no role in World War II. "All of them had been killed in Europe and Palestinian people were not involved in it," he added.

Jones (preferably) Chapters 1. 9-11 Through the Eyes of an American Skeptic (5150) As a journalist and skeptic of the unproven official version, I have examined the facts and evidence and concluded that the U.S. government and controlled media have engaged in a conspiracy to deceive the world about what really happened on 9-11. 2. The Planes of 9-11 (6340) A foreign and privately-owned aircraft leasing company is connected to the airport security and passenger screening company at the center of the terror attacks of 9-11. 3. America the Target: 9-11 and the History of False Flag Terrorism (9985) An examination of key events in the history of false-flag terror attacks and the people behind them. 4. The Terror Drills That Became Real: 9-11, the London Bombings & the Sinking of Estonia (6077) The past two decades have been marked by a number of terror events which occurred during security exercises in which the scenario was identical to the real-life terror attack. 5. How Did Spy Software Get Onto FAA Computers? (2841) 9-11 was also a sophisticated computer crime, carried out through long-term foreign infiltration of the most sensitive U.S. military and government computer networks. 6. Who Controls Our Elections? (2860) The stealing of American elections is primarily a computer crime, as were the terror attacks of 9-11.
