What transpired months and weeks before the morning of December 7, 1941 is vague to the minds of many Americans. Was there a big secret about Pearl Harbor that was kept hidden from the people? This is no doubt “a date which will live in infamy” in more ways than one. The ultimate question to be debated is at hand: Did President Franklin D. Roosevelt have any foreknowledge of the attack on Pearl Harbor? Was the surprise attack really a surprise?
Robert Stinnett, a writer, journalist and former American sailor believes that the U.S. government had advance knowledge of the attack on Pearl Harbor. Stinnett is the author of Day Of Deceit: The Truth About FDR and Pearl Harbor
A biography note claims that Robert Stinnett “participated in World War II as a Naval photographer in the Pacific theater, serving in the same aerial photo group as George H. W. Bush.”
As the Pearl Harbor advance-knowledge conspiracy theory unravels, we run into a Japanese spy in Hawaii named Tadashi Morimura, whose real name was Takeo Yoshikawa. Takeo Yoshikawa was the spy responsible for sending the Japanese government several months worth of indispensable information. History seems to have forgotten this man who contributed a great deal for Japan.
But wait, there’s even more evidence FDR knew about Pearl in advance. Don C. Smith had connections with the Red Cross and his daughter would tell his story posthumously. Daughter Helen E. Hamman wrote a letter to President Clinton on Sep. 5, 1995. In this letter she reveals that her father had a secret meeting with President Roosevelt, and he “informed him of a pending attack on Pearl Harbor.” This was before the attack occurred mind you.
