    • The Day Of Deceit ... The Truth About FDR and Pearl Harbor:

    How Franklin Delano Roosevelt's administration provoked Japan into attacking Pearl Harbor in order to bring the United States into World War II. This report is based on the work in Robert B. Stinnett's acclaimed book, "Day of Deceit: The Truth About FDR and Pearl Harbor."

    The attack on Pearl Harbor was a surprise military strike by the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service upon the United States against the American naval base at Pearl Harbor in Honolulu, Hawaii, just before 8:00 a.m. on Sunday, December 7, 1941.
    • 7 Dec 1941 Pearl Harbor - "Day of Deceit" and "Infamy" That Speaks to the Deceit & Infamy of Our Time

    No need to follow anyone, only consider broadening (y)our horizon of possibilities ...

    It may have surprised the people who were there.

    It was expected, due to the fuel embargo on Japan, an act of war.

    It was known their fleet was crossing the ocean.

    There may have simply been an agreement to scuttle the Pearl Harbor fleet, since most of what was there was in need of expensive repairs.

    Certainly no one cares about slaughtering 2500 or so of "us" to advance their statecraft. That should be obvious.

    Once you go through it, then you quickly reach the point that the two atomic bombs, mostly just instruments of genocide, were completely unnecessary to "end the war", but were part of the idea to "scare the U. S. S. R.". This whole thing is like giving sexual favors to Machiavelli.

    And no, our public certainly does not "remember" any Pearl Harbor Day, Armstice Day, or any other such feat of strength. They don't understand Labor Day or Mothers' Day or Independence Day at all, and most of our other calendar moments are just the attempted theft of paganism.

    I owe most of my proclivities to the fact that some military men picked up authentic Japanese lineages, but, that does not make me celebrate America, but rather Japan. Perhaps at some point they can get their own Independence Day all over again.


    Probably one of the most pivotal moments of all time was Tokyo Tapes (1978). Singlehandedly, The Scorpions have probably had far more to do with "opening the borders" and starting real friendships with those "former hostiles" Japan and Russia. How does one explain a German band speaking English to a Japanese audience? This previously would have been impossible. Klaus learned a little Japanese and they scratch out a version of:


    Kojo No Tsuki





    Haru kourou no hana no en
    Meguru sakazuki kage sasite
    Chiyo no matsugae
    Wakeideshi
    Mukashi no hikari ima izuko
    Mukashi no hikari ima izuko




    It has a lot of really good stuff on there, and perhaps is one of the most influential albums ever made.

    They were big but not the first.

    No Japanese on it, however Japan was fanatic about The Runaways 1977:


    The album was originally released only in Japan (their only major fan base), and some other regions including Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the Netherlands. It was the last Runaways album that Cherie Currie and Jackie Fox appeared on and was not intended for release in the United States or the United Kingdom.


    Plenty of good stuff on here. This is the cover song:

    Wild Thing





    That explains me, personally, western music meets Japanese tradition.

    My neighbors don't remember the date, the music, or know much about it.
