Truthers 1941 style (Pearl Harbor)

Hilarious!

I thought Pearl Harbor was a Jewish conspiracy...they flew in yelling, "Torah! Torah! Torah!"
 
LOL! The Pearl Harbor Conspiracy is on the History channel right now.

ETA: They even have the spooky music.

Gotta love some of the comments:

Sign needs to be bigger.. to make room to explain who FDR is and to also tell people that it is the Aniv. of Pearl Harbor and that FDR was the president when Pearl Harbor happened.... it should also include a map indicating where Pearl Harbor is located.... sholud explain as well that Hawaii is part of the United States

might also inform people that it was Pearl Harbor that got us into WWII.... and emphasize that forced this country into doing something about Hitler... and established the US as the real military superpower... cause we got the nukes

Because our target audience certainly doesn't know any of that. Particularly that bit about Hawaii :)

I think we're gong to need a bigger sign.....

Just how big of a sign is this guy looking for?
 
okay, now this really pisses me off, as I grew up in Hawaii, not more than 4 miles from Pearl Harbor and most recenlty, I could walk to it from where I lived just above it until I moved to California. Every year, I make it a point to visit the Arizona memorial to pay respects to those who fell that day. I participated in the Kole Kole Pass run, which was held very rarely since its closed off to civilians and because of 9/11, closed off to anyone not associated with the military (this is the pass that the japanese planes took on their way to Pearl Harbor).

I lost three grand uncles due to the attack on Pearl Harbor; My grandfather related to me how he heard the planes fly over and could watch the attack from his home on the mountain side facing the Harbor. Because of this, my grandfather would tell me how frightening it was since he is of Japanese ancestory. He was in fear because he had several of his friends, be interred at the Japanese camps on Sand Island in Honolulu Harbor

This was a real event, with real people , still living today who remember it.

Sadly, these stories that my grandfather told me are slowly becoming forgotten since he is one of few left alive today that can remember what happened. Memories that im sure he would rather forget, but memories that can teach people of what WAR really means.

These truthers really have no bounds on how low they can sink, which is truly dispicable. What also pisses me off is how these truthers do not EVEN know their own damn history.

Hawaii was not a "state" in 1941.
and FDR didn't want to induct hawaii as state, he was wholy set against it.

If you think of it - would you mind asking your Grandfather about civilian casualties that. I once read that the destroyers were firing their 5 inch guns across the harbour at the attacking aircraft. Unfortunately what goes up. Has to come down, and sadly many shells fell on suburban areas.

I have only seen this reported once, and am curious to the validity of the report

"truthers" had been around at the time of Pearl Harbor (dec 7 1941)

There is considerable literature, to include "At Dawn We Slept," that covers the controversy over Washington/Pearl Harbor coordination, communication, and command failures on 7 Dec 1941. Part of the motivation is to clear the names of those scapegoated, part to show FDR as having "lied and deceived the US into war."

I was hearing that from my high school history teacher in 1974.

Our teacher brought up the topic of "revisionist history," and the series of decisions, to include the ultimate "Germany First" strategy, that had the isolationist factions and other anti WW II proponents mad at Roosevelt and "his war," even while it was going on.

My granduncles were civilians, but they worked within Pearl Harbor on contract.

Im not sure about civilian casualties, as since my grandfather has nearly forgotten most of the events, because he is now 92 years old, and suffering from dementia and onset of Alzheimers. But, there have been ordinances found within Honolulu Harbor, Sand Island, Kewalo Basin, near the airport and along Nimitz and Kamehameha Hwy's . One was found about 8 years ago in downtown Honolulu, near the harbor.
