Pearl Harbor Revisited

December 7, 2012

It’s a good time to revisit Pearl Harbor on its 71st anniversary of the attack that started America’s official involvement in World War II.

FDR declared the 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor “A day that will live in infamy.” Because the Japanese ambassador Nomura delivered the notice breaking off relations with the U.S. after the attack has been carried out.

This angered and roused the American people majority of which were isolationists who did not want to be involved in the war already raging in Europe for over two years. They did not care about the survival of England or the U.S.S.R. (Russia). World War II is the only war the American people unanimously supported.

The Japanese military was demoralized when they found out the attack on Pearl Harbor was launched before war was declared, unlike the wars with Russia (1904) and China (1937). They realized they will be fighting a dishonorable war and therefore it was almost impossible to win.

In the summer of 1939 Russia inflicted a stinging defeat on Japan in a war along the Manchurian-Mongolian border. Russia was looking for payback for their 1905 humiliating defeat. This would influence Japanese militarists’ decision to attack Pearl Harbor.

Up until six months before the Pearl Harbor attack, FDR has been in communication with the Emperor of Japan. When Hitler invaded Russia on June 22, 1941, perhaps inspired by Fascists victory in the Spanish Civil War under Franco, Tojo and the Japanese militarists, decided to cut off the Emperor’s communications with FDR and started preparations for the attack on Pearl Harbor and the Pacific war.

It would have made a big difference if Japan broke off relations with the U.S. and then attack Pearl Harbor. Japanese morale would have been very high because it is an honorable war they are fighting.

As David Krieger of Nuclear Age Peace Foundation would remind us time and again, Japan is still the only country to suffer not one but two nuclear attacks. Prime Minister Tojo and many Japanese officers were tried, convicted and executed as war criminals for waging an aggressive and tenacious war necessitating the use of nuclear bombs.

Gen. Douglas MacArthur – Betrayed – Part 3

What we missed. There is this photo with a caption: “Just in case people forget, there are Amazing soldiers standing at the Tomb even through hurricanes. . . ”

Here’s the thing, how come there NEVER has been a Philippine Liberation Parade EVER? How come few, if any, roads, bridges, parks, rivers have ever been named for Douglas MacArthur?

It turned out the modern Makati was the idea of Lt. Col. Joseph R. McMicking. Yet the streets, boulevards, parks and buildings in Makati & Metro Manila are named after Aquinos, Ayala’s, Zobel’s, Roxas’ and others.

And not a single thing was named after McMicking?Below is the video of Guam’s 68th Liberation Day Parade 2012. Where are the photos & videos of parades in the Philippines? NONE. WHY! Something terribly wrong here.

This is why we need the Philippine History Re-education Project.

Today is the 5th death anniversary of Mariannet Amper. At a young age of 12 she has already lost hope and committed suicide by hanging herself.

Is this what American soldiers fought and died for in World War II when we liberated the Philippines? Did we turn the Filipinos over to traitors and quislings who never even said “Thank you”?

: At age 12 she lost hope and committed suicide on Nov. 02, 2007

So how did Filipino oligarchs started? Here’s a clue.

: Oligarch-traitor Roxas becomes president of the 3rd Philippine Republic

Manuel Roxas died on April 15, 1948, two and half months after signing Proclamation 51 granting amnesty to all oligarch-traitors, quislings and collaborators.

Elipidio Quirino Roxas’ vice president took over. Here’s what he did.

Halloween 2012: Zombieland Philippines

Meet Marianneth Amper, the “Anne Frank” of the Philippines, a 12-yr-old girl who has lost hope & committed suicide on Nov. 02, 2007.

Days after Mariannet’s suicide, police investigators recovered under her pillow a diary and a letter addressed to a public service television programme asking for a new pair of shoes and school bag, and steady jobs for her mother and father.

In the last two entries in her diary about two weeks before she took her life, Mariannet lamented that she and her brother had been absent from school and they could not go to church because they had no money for fare and their father was suffering from a fever.

‘It seemed as if we were absent from school for a month now,’ she wrote in her diary. ‘We don’t count our absences anymore. I hardly noticed that Christmas is fast approaching.’

The Amper family is just one of millions of impoverished households in the Philippines still waiting to feel the benefits of an appreciating peso against the US dollar, the fastest economic growth in 20 years and increasing foreign investments. (Sept. 11, 2022 – In Sept. 2006, the Philippine peso was valued at least P56 to $1. After Typhoon Milenyo that devastated the Southern Tagalog region including the Metro Manila area, the oligarchs decided to artificially strengthen the Philippine Peso to P43 to $1 a rate that remained until January 2016 when the rate was fixed at P48 to $1.)

See:

According to United Nations data, more than 50 per cent of the Philippines’ 88 million people live on less than 2 dollars a day. A nationwide survey conducted by a local polling firm in September also showed that 21.5 per cent of Filipino families suffer involuntary hunger, up from from 19 per cent in November 2006.
