Reply #26: Cypher vs code ...

And don't forget, even if you do de-cypher a message, that doesn't mean you can understand what it says.

One did not need a disaster on the scale of Pearl Harbor to justify war against Japan. A sensible cabal would have gauranteed the possibility for a vigorous defense and the entrapment of the Japanese fleet from retreat.

The Pearl Harbor attack was absoluetly devastating. Given Roosevelt's strong committment and vigilance to the defense of England, why would he weaken the Pacific fleet so drastically.


When the shoe is on the other foot, you see that 9/11 is a completely separate situation. The nations capacity to conduct foreign warfare was not hampered. However, our capacity to conduct intelligence on Saudi Arabia WAS. The financial markets were barely effected.

Most of the debris was hastily carted away. WTC7 debris was carted out of the country without an investigation. The passport of a hijacker was found unscathed in a mountain of charred smouldering rubble.


Roosevelt really had nothing to gain from Pearl Harbor. It made his administration look bad. 9/11 created the myth of George W Bush as a hero. His poll number shot WAY up. Bush got his war and his affluent buddies got their war profiteering. Roosevelt was considered a traitor to his class until the day he died.


Finally, Pearl Harbor was carried out by a brilliant, American Educated man. They pulled off a daring raid under just the right circumstances. It was an incredible coordiation and planning effort. 9/11 was carried out by 16 men with ceramic box-cutters. A few of which nearly missed their flights.
