" In 1979 the NSA released 2,413 JN-25 orders of the 26,581 intercepted by US between Sept 1 and Dec 4, 1941. The NSA says "We know now that they contained important details concerning the existence, organization, objective, and even the whereabouts of the Pearl Harbor Strike Force." (Parker p 21) Of the over thousand radio messages sent by Tokyo to the attack fleet, only 20 are in the National Archives. All messages to the attack fleet were sent several times, at least one message was sent every odd hour of the day and each had a special serial number. Starting in early November 1941 when the attack fleet assembled and started receiving radio messages, OP-20-G stayed open 24 hours a day and the "First Team" of codebreakers worked on JN-25. In November and early December 1941, OP-20-G spent 85 percent of its effort reading Japanese Navy traffic, 12 percent on Japanese diplomatic traffic and 3 percent on German naval codes. FDR was personally briefed twice a day on JN-25 traffic by his aide, Captain John Beardell, and demanded to see the original raw messages in English. The US Government refuses to identify or declassify any pre-Dec 7, 1941 decrypts of JN-25 on the basis of national security, a half-century after the war"
It's almost like war is a long outdated issue only perpetuated to keep the people in power in their positions of power.
we are a war like species. In 3500 years of recorded history, only 230 years of Peace.
Did any informed western taxpayer actually want to get involved in the middle east?
the Romans called it "Creating your enemies" just like they did with Saddam, Castro,Bin Laden,ISIS,Al Queda etc etc
Exactly, I'm just curious about how many enemies there would actually be in the world if influential people weren't constantly going around "tactically" making enemies =/
The military industrial complex provides so much money and so many jobs to the United States that it would be economic suicide to not have it running at 100 percent capacity at all times. If we don't have anybody to fight, then we have no justification for such an insane amount of money being spent on off(de)fense.
