Neatorama has been reprinting sections of Uncle John’s Legendary Lost Bathroom Reader, including this one on whether or not there was a conspiracy to let the Japanese attack Pearl Harbor.

My question is why is there a conspiracy to suppress the conspiracy that there’s a conspiracy about the conspiracy to allow the attack on Pearl Harbor?

Anyway, from Neatorama:

Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor was one of the most dramatic incidents in U.S. history - and the source of persistent questions. Did President Roosevelt know the attack was coming? If so, why didn’t he defend against it? Here’s some insight from It’s a Conspiracy!

Shortly after dawn on Sunday, December 7, 1941, Japanese warplanes launched an all-out attack on Pearl Harbor, the major U.S. military base in Hawaii. Within two hours, they had damaged or destroyed 18 warships and more than 200 aircraft, killing 2,403 American soldiers, sailors, and marines, and wounding 1,178. Americans were stunned and outraged.

The next day, FDR delivered a stirring speech to Congress in which he referred to the day of the attack as “a date which will lie in infamy.” In response, Congress declared war, and the country closed ranks behind the president.

Despite America’s commitment to the war, however, questions arose about Pearl Harbor that were not easily dismissed: How were we caught so completely by surprise? Why were losses so high? Who was to blame? Did the president know an attack was coming? Did he purposely do nothing so America would be drawn into the war? Although there were seven full inquiries before the war ended, the questions persist to this day.
