It's the anniversary of Pearl Harbor and I remain sure that Comrade-President RedDR knew the Japanese plans and desperately needed to get into the conflict over the objections of a population that wisely was choosing to sit on the sidelines as the world went to war.

I am further convinced that Hitler and Stalin knew each other's intentions months before 22 June 1941 when Hitler would start to lose the war strategically with Operation Barbarossa. Stalin could not survive a two front war with Germany in the West and Japan in the East; he had to get the US to contest Japan in the Pacific, hence the many espionage and "useful idiot" operations in the US to shape conditions for the conflict. The 1930s was the high point for American communism and Stalin's agents had penetrated all the way to the Offal Office to include Harry Lloyd Hopkins (one of Roosevelt's closest confidantes [his "co-president"] & Soviet code name: "Agent 19") and Harry Dexter White (Soviet code name: "Jurist"), among others.

Alger Hiss' wartime KGB controller [Ishhak] Akhmerov "identified the most important of all Soviet wartime agents in the United States,” the book, "American Betrayal" by Diana West, says, ”as Harry Hopkins.”

You will note that all post-WWI construction capital ships were not in Pearl Harbor on the morning of 7 December 1941.

First stop is this article by Jane Shaw.

She made a very compelling case in 2010 when I first read this.

"The Pearl Harbor Myth: Rethinking the Unthinkable" by George Victor

I also recommend:

"Operation Snow: How a Soviet Mole in FDR’s White House Triggered Pearl Harbor" by John Koster

And.

"Day of Deceit: The Truth About FDR and Pearl Harbor" by Robert Stinnett

And:

"The Truth about Pearl Harbor" by John T. Flynn

And:

"Churchill, Hitler, and 'The Unnecessary War': How Britain Lost Its Empire and the West Lost the World" by Pat Buchanan

This is a good start.
