I'm not a believer.

Did our leaders know Pearl Harbor was going to be attacked, and allow it to happen?

For me, that isn't the question.  To me?  I am positive they knew, and allowed, and could have intervened.

My questions?  Were they right?  By warning Pearl Harbor commands, or allowing them to act on the warnings?  They would have let the Japanese know, or begin suspecting, we had cracked their codes.  Or... even more.  That we had moles in their government, possibly their Emperor himself, or those acting on his direct command, given protection.

I do, after watching enough, thinking back on things I have heard, and doing some... Doom style accounting... believe Japan's own high command was against Japan winning.  Definitely against defeating America.  Or... didn't believe that was possible, so attempting to make for a softer landing.  Code?  Maybe.  But that... isn't enough.

Now, can't always trust moles, even when they support the code breaks.  Because... things change.  Choices, by those not in the betrayal cabal, can and did change.  Especially if they could show that this helped.  Moles, even if it was the emperor himself, could not outright be in a position of betrayal, and must remain above suspicion... even if in a state of suspended belief? suspended disbelief?  One of those...  Some such.

So... if an admiral, who wanted Japan to win, showed that changing plans, in a major way, on short notice, improved pro-Japanese success?  Not even the emperor would naysay that.  Take what you can, but don't risk your neck.  Why do you think the emperor was allowed to remain?  That's... very not like America, in these things.  I honestly suspect he was the, or the main, mole.  And he was very against Japan.  He had simply lost control.  Almost a prisoner in his own palace.  It's... happened many times before.  Even, or especially, in Japan.  It's a pretty bloody island.

Right, wrong?  For his people?  Was it... a good thing?  If... what I see is true?  It... was wise.  He probably had input on which cities to bomb.  Which is a very negative thing for US leadership, as he chose the most Catholic, and Protestant, cities in Japan.  I doubt if our leaders didn't understand that, just that it was the price.  An evil price, for supposed Christians, or leaders of Christians.  Which makes me think most "Christian" leadership is not at all faithful.

But, from a political standpoint?  From an anti-Christian view?  Given the givens?  For him, it probably was as wise as a pagan can do.  And, he got rid of a lot of Christians, at the very hands of the Christians.  A truly evil act, for the Christians.  But for one who doesn't have any real faith, it's just getting rid of other enemies.

Lots of things like this.  I don't believe most of what I am told.  Am I sure I catch the real reason?  I think I... get close enough.  Will I ever be told?  No.  What, exactly, do you think would happen, if the US government admitted to allowing the Japanese to murder as many Christians as possible in an backroom agreement?  And, just... what do you think would happen, with the emperor, if his people found out he set them up for the bombing, and many of the island and naval losses?  Probably starting from the beginning?

The whole stinking thing was a negotiated arrangement, with only how many on which side would have to die before this or that would take place?  Oh... the whole world would change.  You think the world isn't ready for the idea of alien creatures?  Hell, most people aren't ready for the truths of their governments.

So, no... I don't believe a damn thing I read.  Not even the old stuff.

Couldn't sleep.  Still can't.  Running between too hot and too cold, upset stomach, nausea, aches, pains, and such.  Can't... do much.  Can't get up often.  Just... often enough to keep Sassy fed, watered, and I'll reset her litter boxes tonight.  It's a rough one.  But... I watch the war flicks, and take notes.  Things really aren't working out.  It was all rigged... even wars.  Crazy.

Though... there might be some good in it.  It might mean that some men are willing to let their warmongering nation be brought down, because they don't believe they are a superior race, or deserve life over those of others.  There might even be... something good about people who are more humble.  If... they truly are more humble, and not just animal.  Some are, some are just animal.  For me, the animals don't count... if I don't believe destroying the animals is any more right.  Just... keep them separated.

That's... how I see it.  But, yes.  If the emperor of Japan brought his warlike ilk to their knees, through betrayals and backroom agreements, because he didn't believe in superiority?  Then... that was a grace.  Like the details?  The... devil... is in the details.  I suppose, if God is on the face?  But... who is to say.

I will say... I don't trust our leadership.  It seems almost purely economy based, and has missed the moral and ethical truths of wisdom.  I... definitely have my doubts in our government, more so these days but it's never been... really solid.  Better than some, from time to time.  But no more, in any way, on either "side", these days.  I... have my doubts.
