In article ,
on 20 Jun 2004 05:19:53 GMT,
Denyav attempted to say .....

And the fact that Adm Halsey, with all the same information that Adm Kimmel
had stated he intended to shoot down any Japanese aircraft he encountered
and sink any IJN ships that he might find.


Actually Kimmel acted before Halsey and sent 46 ships to open sea without
notifying WAshington in late Nov.

Who countermanded Kimmel's orders and ordered Fleet to return to the base?
Washington (Stark)


Did he ?
Document it please.



Halsey issued his plans AFTER Washington ordered the Fleet back to Pearl Harbor
(His Carriers were part of 46 ship Grand Exercise) as a 25-ship scaled down
version of Kimmels original plan.

But even Halseys scaled down exercise plan was too much for the
Washington,They ordered Halsey to use his carriers to transport planes to Wake
and Midway.


And Adm Halsey stated his intentions, based on the same intel his boss had.
And his boss had no objection.


Order came again from Stark.

Why Washington countermanded Kimmels orders and ordered 46-ship fleet to return
to Pearl Harbor as Japanase Task was steaming towards Hawaii?


When did this "fleet" sail ? And to where was this fleet headed ?


1)Japanase might abort their mission if they knew US was prepared and waiting
for them.
(That would mean a total failure of McCollum plan)


How would the IJN find out ?


2)Even if they'd not aborted the mission,PSYOP value of a naval engagement at
open sea would be much less than Pearl Harbor.
Washington knew that if two fleets met at sea and engaged each other there
always might be questions about who attacked first.
(Limited success for McCollum plan,US probably would enter WWII but probably
not so united without shock and awe effect of Pearl Harbor)


You do know that USN ships had already been attacked at open sea ?



Washington had no interest in deterring Japanase or stopping them before they
dropped bombs over HAwaii.


Your opinon.


On contrary,Washington wanted to make Task Forces journey between Nov,26 and
Dec,7 as comfortable and easy as possible.
To make it happen they even tried to create a shipping-free zone,so that the
Task force could steam toward Hawaii without worrying about sightings.


How did they create this shipping free zone ?

Clearly you have never had a security clearance. those of us who have know
that the default position is to classify everything and declassify almost
nothing.


So mere mortals,that means American People and their elected represantatives,
should not know anything or should only know what you want them to know.
Thanks for the clarification,exactly that was my point.

Why - because if you fail to classify something (or mistakenly declassify
something) that should remain secret then you can't go back.


Of course the mere mortals and their elected represantatives have no idea about
works of their unelected "masters".


What loons like you fail to realise is that the documents that you think
support your fantasy no doubt have some classified info in them, it just has
nothing to do with your delusions.


Yeah right,pre-Pearl Harbor cyrpt technology is more relevant than post PH
technology,you implied that before.

Only reason that they are still unlocked is that these documents prove the
existence of a "school of thought" among our unelected "masters" within US
gov't which basically says gov't should even kill,or allow others to kill,its
own soldiers,sailors,civilians to achieve broader political goals.
This strategy exists for last 150 years with minor modifications,and unless
mere mortals face the reality and confront their unelected masters,or unelected
masters blunder gravely (thats happening now) will continue for another 150
years.


So now well documented historical fact is 'political correctness', trying
that one doesn't hep your case either.


Well documented?
Didn't you say by default everything is classified,nothing is declassified?

So,you are the one who decides what to declassify,not mere mortals
The mere mortals and their elected Reps.are only supposed to see your "well
selected" documents and whitewash your actions.
Our unelected Masters need them only to legitimatize their actions not as an
Oversight authority.

And since you don't know the contents of those withdrawn docs, you don't
know what it is they might tell, you are simply building a fantasy.


Pre-Pearl Harbor documents that were part of first batch released from
Crane,were withdrawn after the release of "Days of Deceipt".So they were
available for a short period.

I think the simplest thing to point out here is that you think the movie
"Pearl Harbor" is a documentary, which indicates how little credibility you
actually have on the subject.


The starting point was the movie,and you have bitten it off.

Ah yes the near total erase and change the subject approach, take 3.
The reply includes the other tactic, of changing the appearance order
of what little text survives.

The story so far,

1) the claims about the war warning message text, dropped after the
war warning text was actually posted. (the warnings are supposed to
make Pearl Harbor the only target)
2) the use of the character in the Pearl Harbor movie played by Dan
Aykroyd as a source of facts, dropped when it was revealed where
the name came from.
3) claims about the various investigations into the Pearl Harbor attack,
dropped when a list of such investigations was posted
4) attempts to promote the relatively recent congressional request to
promote General Short and Admiral Kimmel as proof of a conspiracy
are dropped, after the text of the resolution is posted.
5) claims about what Admiral Kimmel said are backed up by the URL
of the transcript of the congressional request meeting, Kimmel had
been dead for around 30 years before the meeting. The URL text
does not support pre knowledge of the attack and includes over
statements on Kimmels behalf (inventing 800 to 1,000 extra patrol
bombers available)
6) the claim the only investigation to clear Kimmel is the reliable one
despite the claim the findings and evidence have never been released.
Claim dropped again.
7) The claims the investigations were all rigged because it was one
entity investigating itself. Dropped since the claimed only investigation
to clear Kimmel was USN, the USN investigating the USN.
8) Hollywood is a US "premier quasi-governmental PSYOP organization."
Claim dropped.
9) The claim the US needed Pearl to be attacked, apparently the assaults
on Wake, Guam, Midway, the Philippines and US shipping were not enough.
Claim dropped.
10) The claim MacArthur received warnings Hawaii did not, claim dropped.
The same war warnings were sent to all commands in the Pacific.
11) the claim the "McCollum Memo" was a blueprint for US government
actions, dropped after the memo summary was posted, pointing out
what the memo actually said.
12) the claim McCollum was in charge of codebreaking dropped, his
memo header makes it clear he was in a different area.
13) If you write a book that says no conspiracy you are automatically
said to be pushing the official version, and such versions are claimed
to be wrong. No proof mind you.
14) The conspiracy pushers cannot lie unless the receive official permission.
That was a good one.

Simple really, just keep dropping all the claimed evidence, but keep the
conclusion.

Most of my stuff is cut and paste, you become interested in WWII and
you find the same conspiracy claims surfacing over and over.

Denyav wrote in message ...
In the early 1990s the U. S. Navy transferred all its cryptologic
archives from Crane, Indiana to the National Archives in
Washington. This includes 26,581 JN-25 intercepts from 1
September to 7 December. All of these are available for public
review.


deleted text,

"Stinnett is trying to run the line the truth is out there, the documents
are missing, to defend against all the holes in his book. Hence the
above claims of hidden documents. All IJN messages had a serial
number, missing serials are assumed to be US hiding them, as
opposed to US not intercepting them."

You forgat to mention: EXCEPT those withdrawn documents
(Because of NSA notices of course)


I note by the way there has been no attempt to tell us who is saying
there are these NSA notices.

You see Robert Stinnett has been running this line as he tries to
wave away the holes in his book's claims.

deleted text,

"By the way folks, note Stinnett is very definite in the book about what
messages were decoded. Including ones the Japanese say were
never sent by radio. Stinnett is the truth bringer, even when he says
he has no proof it seems.

Also Stinnett was not the motivator for the release of the documents,
he took advantage of their release."

Stephen Budiansky, using the original USN designation
AN for what was later called JN-25B.

You forgat to mention his NSA ties.


This is quite funny really, should we also mention Stinnett's
ties to the USN? Of course "ties" are brought in as a way
of crediting or discrediting the stories, NSA ties would be
hailed as a plus if the author voted for the conspiracy.


Deleted text,

"Contemporaneous, month-by-month reports on the progress of the Navy
codebreakers, each date-stamped, cover the entire period 1940-41. They
cover the work of the entire unit known as OP-20-GY, the Navy cryptanalytic
office in Washington, and also report on the progress of the Navy
decryption units in Hawaii and Cavite. They show unambiguously that when
the AN codebook was changed on December 1940, and subsequently when the
additive tables used with the code were changed on August 1, 1941, the U.S.
Navy lost its ability to read this traffic altogether. By December 1, 1941,
only 3,800 of the 30,000-plus code groups and 2,500 of the 50,000 additives
in AN had been recovered. (Most of the recovered code groups were those for
numerals, an even further limitation on reading.) "

Also note,

"None of the messages found in the "Pre-Pearl Harbor Japanese Naval
Dispatches" file mention Pearl Harbor by name. (This file is found in
National Archives at College Park, RG 38, Crane Files, CNSG 5830/115; most
of the messages have also have been reprinted in "Pearl Harbor Revisited:
United States Navy Communications Intelligence, 1924-1941," an unclassified
monograph published by the National Security Agency in 1994.)"

The USN went back in 1945/46 and broke out as many of the pre war
messages as it could to see what they could have told. One of the
favourite tricks is to claim the 1946 dates are faked.

"Stinnett simply ignores the IJN code book upgrade of December
1940 in order to make his book work. That is the blinding of
allied intelligence after making good progress into the initial code"

book "A" (hence the classification of the code in use in 1941 as
JN-25 "B") is simply ignored by Stinnett. When challenged about
this on his web site he simply failed to respond, except to complain
about spelling errors and insist


In the Archieve II records Safford asserts that US was reading 90% of JN25b
prior to Dec.7.


This is really funny Stinnett has no idea what the allies were reading, now
it seems it is 90%. A nice figure, the only trouble is the documents show
this to be about 90% too much. Oh yes, Stinnett would never use JN-25B
he demands people use AN (original US designation) or code book D
(IJN designation) or 5 numeral (another US designation), when you ask
him about the code later designated JN-25.

It would be nice for Stinnett to give something more than "in the archive"
as a reference for this claimed smoking gun document.

JN-25 was a book of 5 digit numbers standing for words, letters or
numbers. This book was introduced in mid 1939 "A" and substantially
upgraded in December 1940, "B". To disguise the code groups a
book of random numbers was used, the numbers were added to
the code group values. The random numbers were changed more
frequently, 5 times before the "B" book was introduced, then again
in February, August and December 1941.

Each time a book was introduced the allies had to go back to square
1, since they had to accumulate enough messages using the new
book of random numbers to figure out the random number sequences.

The 90% readable figure is a joke. Also note in 1945 when the USN
went back over the code books and the 1941 messages to see what
it could learn it was realised many of the previously used values were
in error, several hundred in around 35,000 recovered out of the 50,000
used. After the 1945 work the USN figured it had 48,000 out of the
50,000 random numbers.

The same thing happened for the version in use before Midway,
the 1945 work started with 47,000 values, initially found about 1,000
were wrong, and ultimately ended up with just over 48,000 out of the
50,000 random numbers.

One of the ways into the code was the fact the IJN did not use the
random number (additive) book correctly, too many messages
were sent using the first few pages of the book instead of spreading
use throughout the book. So around 60% of the messages used
around 20% of the additive book values.

According routing designator Nov.16 Lietwiler letter was also seen by Safford .
But Safford did not say anything to Congressional investigators about his
assertion or Lirtwiler letter.


Ah yes the Lietwiler letter, the refuge of last resort. For a start the
letter was not addressed to Safford. However I am amused by the
claim the routing designator is proof Safford saw it, after all the
routing designator on the McCollum memo proves only his boss
saw the famed memo, the memo did not go to FDR.

The idea Safford might understand what the letter means and so
knows it was not of relevance seems to be ignored.

The actual quote that has Stinnett very interested,

"We have stopped work on the period 1 February to 31 July as we have
all we can do to keep up with the current period. We are reading enough
current traffic to keep two translators very busy, i.e. with their code recovery
efforts etc. included"

Note what gets dropped from the conspiracy version, the fact the
translators were not translating documents full time. They had a range
of duties one of which was translating documents, another was assigning
meaning to code groups. Also note the current period is being implied
as 1 August 1941 onwards, after the additive change.

Given the code book had not changed going through the previous
additive book period was still a way to find new code groups.

Japanese is a very context sensitive language, one of the major
efforts of the translators was to take broken out code groups and
try and figure out the meaning of the groups, the code recovery work.

Think of it this way

11111 22222 33333 44444 11111 55555.

Now tell me the meaning.

How about

The 22222 33333 44444 the 55555.

We are reading 1/3 of the message folks.

Another clue.

The 22222 33333 on the 55555.

50% readable now, surely the text is obvious.

The cat 33333 on the 55555.

2/3 readable.

The cat sat on the 55555.

Think you can fill in the final word?

Of course the message "The cat 33333 on the 55555."
could be "The cat slept on the chair".

The translators did much more than translating decrypted documents.

Of Course US congress was only allowed to investigate blinfolded,
They were allowed to investigate Pearl Harbor but only by using hand picked
documents.


Translation the lack of evidence is proof of two conspiracies, the original
and the cover up.

It happens only in Washington.


Stinnett lives near Washington. Oh yes apparently no other country in
the world has the ability to mount cover ups.


In summary folks, the conspiracy is right, even if the claimed evidence
melts away.

The rest is the text deleted from the non reply, apart from a little text
allowed to survive in the above text, out of order but it was allowed in.

Yes folks, Robert Stinnett wrote a book where he relied on the US
intercepting and decoding key IJN messages, then at the end of the
book he told us all he had no idea what the US decoding abilities
were. Just ignore the fact all through the book it is assumed the
needed messages were decoded as required. It does help him
when he ignores the change over from the A to the B version of JN-25
in late 1940, just assumed the success against the A version carried
over to the B version, which was a different code book.

Stinnett simply ignores the IJN code book upgrade of December
1940 in order to make his book work. That is the blinding of
allied intelligence after making good progress into the initial code
book "A" (hence the classification of the code in use in 1941 as
JN-25 "B") is simply ignored by Stinnett. When challenged about
this on his web site he simply failed to respond, except to complain
about spelling errors and insist on "correct terminology". Taking
Stinnett's word is a bad move.

If you want a fun exercise in fact checking try and find a Stinnett
footnote that actually backs up the claims in the text.

So change the subject, peddle Stinnett's fiction about Pearl then
peddle his fiction about US archives.

Also note below which section McCollum was in, not OP-20-GY
(codebreakers), the deleted claim was,

"The architect of FDRs Japan &Pearl Harbor game plan was McCollum
and McCollum was also,what a surprise !!,head of navy intelligence
unit responsible IJN dispatches."

This claim had to go, along with Pearl Harbor the movie as a source,
the British knew more than the US and so on.

I pinched the memo "highlights" from another post, note how the
memo is addressed to the directors, not someone in the white
house, yet it is supposed to make it to FDR in time for him to
make it the lunchtime conversation the next day, the "proof" FDR
saw the memo, just ignore the diary of the person FDR lunched with.

"Op-16-F-2 ONI (Office of Naval Intelligence) 7 October 1940
Memorandum For The Directors
Subject: ESTIMATE OF THE SITUATION IN THE PACIFIC AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ACTION OF THE UNITED STATES..."

A. Make an arrangement with Britain for the use of British
bases in the Pacific, particularly Singapore."

The USN did not use British bases until after the war started.
There was a conference in Manila about cooperation but it
ended with the sighting of the IJN invasion convoys heading
for Malaya. So this never happened pre war.

By the way the German Japanese naval base agreement
had been signed in 1940 or earlier.

"B. Make an arrangement with Holland for the use of base facilities
and acquisition of supplies in the Dutch East Indies" (now Indonesia)."

As for point A. Never happened pre war.

"C. Give all possible aid to the Chinese government of Chiang
Kai-shek."

30 aircraft in 1940, 141 in 1941, compared with 1,507 for the
British in 1940 and 5,249 in 1941. The USSR received more
aircraft than China, in fact the "other foreign" column has 787
aircraft delivered at the US factories. All possible aid would
have been a lot more aircraft for a start.

By the way the 30 aircraft for China in 1940 were trainers,
70 of the 1941 aircraft were trainers, 53 fighters, 18 light bombers.

So I presume the German sale of 12 aircraft to China in 1937
is an indicator Germany is giving all aid as well?

How about the German military advisors present on the Chinese
side in the late 1930s? I think they were withdrawn in 1939.

"D. Send a division of long-range heavy cruisers to the western
Pacific, the Philippines and Singapore."

Didn't happen, hint Manila is in the western pacific, it had a heavy
and a light cruiser plus the occasional extra cruiser passing through.

"E. Send two divisions of submarines to the western Pacific."

There were already USN submarines based in Manila, and the
memo's ideas of reinforcements was not followed. As a guide
to the changes note the USN had 96 submarines available, some
in reserve, in September 1939, the older boats were brought out
of reserve after war began in Europe and the total number
available grew steadily to 112 by the end of November 1941.

By the way USN submarine deployments to Manila from
DANFS, according to my by hand counts.

11/24 (yes 24) onward S-36, S-37, S-38, S-39, S-40, S-41

7/1925 to 5/1932 S-30, S-31, S-32, S-33, S-34, S-35

So until the depression the USN had 12 submarines present.

12/39 onward Porpoise, Pike, Tarpon, Perch, Pickerel, Permit

So the 12 submarine force is restored.

1939 Searaven "two years before war" my bet it should be with the
5 following submarines to make another 6 ship squadron and
arrived at the end of 1940.

1940 Seawolf (autumn)

10 or 11/40 Stingray, Seadragon, Sealion
12/40 Shark

1941 month unknown Snapper (probably 11/41), Sailfish (after 3/41
at least since that was the month it started a refit in the US)

11/41 Salmon, Seal, Sturgeon, Sargo, Saury, Spearfish, Sculpin,
Swordfish, Skipjack

Total 29, the force at the start of the war, I think 4 were
refitting on 8 December.

"F. Keep the main strength of the U.S. fleet, now in the Pacific, in
the vicinity of the Hawaiian Islands."

Done before the memo was written, the memo is dated in October,
the basing decision was on 1 May 1940.

"G. Insist that the Dutch refuse to grant Japanese demands for
undue economic concessions, Particularly oil."

Add the British as well, it made no sense for the US to
embargo oil if the Dutch and British would replace the
lost sales. The US did not need to do much to persuade
the Dutch, the Japanese idea of terms of trade did much
to persuade the Dutch extra trade was not worth it.

"H. Completely embargo all trade with Japan, in collaboration
with a similar embargo imposed by the British Empire."

Finally happened, however the memo forgets to add the Dutch
to the embargo.

FDR had imposed trade embargoes on aviation fuel, lubricants
and high grade scrap metal on 25 July 1940. On 26 September
scrap iron was added to the list.

In the first week in October, that is just before the memo was written
the US ordered all Americans out of the far east, called up the naval
reserve and authorised Anglo-American staff talks in Singapore.
Additional supplies were sent to the Philippines as well.

Remember folks, the memo is supposed to be the blueprint, apparently
able to influence decisions before it was written.

The Japanese negotiations with the Dutch over oil finally ended in the
first week in October, with no gains for the Japanese.

"10. If by these means Japan could be led to commit an overt act
of war, so much the better. At all event we must be fully
prepared to accept the treat of war."

Yes, Japan preferred war to giving up the chance to colonise China.

So 8 recommendations, the first 4 were not followed, the fifth was not
followed at the time, though more submarines were sent and then even
more in late 1941, the sixth and seventh had already happened before
the memo was written, the eighth finally happened around 9 months
later and only after further Japanese expansion.

Just remember the memo is the claimed blueprint for US government
policy.

Yes folks, just try and change the subject, the IJN says it did not
transmit, in logs written at the time, in the wartime after action
report and during the post war interrogations. This has to be
ignored. The idea Yamamoto was so stupid as to park his
top secret task force in a place where there was only radio
communications has to be ignored.

Just ignore the way traffic analysis works, the use of call signs
on messages to gain an idea what is going on, the volume and
size of messages. Then add direction finding on transmitters.

No folks, the IJN is assumed to be completely ignorant of any
sort of radio discipline or deception techniques.

The conspiracy needs the IJN in on the act from1941 on.

Navies are well aware of the need to limit radio traffic, they try to
do it as much as possible, the IJN understood the reasons why and
acted accordingly.

It is amusing to see the idea couriers are less secure than radio
transmissions, presumably why no one uses couriers any more.

As Professor Kimball wrote: "It seems to me that to brand WSC
and/or FDR as conspirators requires that they be seen as evil
geniuses. But for them to allow the U.S. Fleet to be clobbered
means they were stupid. That doesn't compute." "

The rest of the post is simply text that could not be replied to,

By the way folks, the conspiracy claims are dropped, instead we
have something totally different dropped in.

Deleted text,

"You forgot item 4) the conspiracy theory around the start of the war
and the claims the Maine was deliberately sabotaged by the US.
The non real event.

You see the fact the IJN attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941 is known
and understood. The added "facts" of a conspiracy are the
contributions of people who cannot cope with reality. "

Translation do not deal with the issues on their merits, invent crimes
from years ago and use those as an excuse to do what you want to
do, above all do not think.

I note the fun things like the URL for the congressional petition transcript
makes note of the Japanese consulate's words about a surprise attack
being possible, a message not broken out before the attack, to accuse
Washington of short changing the field commanders.

If the assessment is a surprise attack was possible what does that say
of two things,

1) the size of the defences
2) the alertness of the defences.

1) Is largely Washington determined, 2) is locally determined. But do
not worry, erase item 2 and carry on with the field commanders did
nothing wrong line.

Yes folks, understand, look for your facts in Hollywood movies, just
add the words you want to historical documents and so on. It is
quite simple, since unwelcome reality can be wished away just
decide the preferred outcome and adjust the preferred facts
accordingly.

Denyav is a CIA/FBI/ABC/CBS/DKNY/USN/USAAF, oh what the
heck, AAA (many organisations deleted) to ZZZZZ plant. Here to
try and improve the reputation of the US by making absolutely
absurd claims about it, so no one believes the real claims.

By the way note below the talk is all about the missing evidence,
but we are told 99.99% is available.

Deleted text, on the Congressional moves,

"
http://www.congress.gov/cgi-bin/cpqu...el=TOC_545749&

Go look up the other items included, the Indianapolis sinking and
the waiver on time limits for decorations. "

http://www.ukans.edu/carrie/docs/texts/kimmel.htm

By the way the claim trying to be defended is the idea Kimmel hurled
such accusations at FDR etc. Instead we have the family members
putting the best case forward as to why Washington deserves some
of the blame.

The transcript indicates the accusations were the usual ones, the
people in Washington made the errors (not the conspiracy) and
the people in Pearl paid the price. Note the transcript is not about
prior knowledge of the attack, only the blame game afterwards.
However when you want to invent fiction just change this to
conspiracy accusations.

By the way in the above text Professor Gannon claims 1,000 PBY
patrol planes were sent to the British pre Pearl Harbor when he
calculates Pearl needed 200 for all round patrols but only had 49.
The British (meaning RAF, RCAF. RNZAF and RAAF) received
somewhere around 3/4 of this figure for the entire war.

The US produced a whole 410 Patrol bombers in 1941, up from
34 in 1940, 22 Martin Mariners (PBM), 6 Consolidated Coranados
(PB2Y) and 416 Catalinas (PBY) 1940 to 1941. The PBY had been
in production pre war, with around 200 delivered by the end of 1939.

Of course you need to remove from the totals the 41 patrol bombers
delivered in December 1941 and probably the 54 delivered in October
and November 1941 as not being available to sent to Hawaii in time.
Also noting the pre war deliveries, starting in 1936, were lower powered
versions, 1,800 to 2,000 HP versus 2,400 for the 1940 on versions

So we have around 600 patrol bombers with the necessary range built
and available to the USN and everyone else, less the attrition of normal
flying, 200 of which are needed for Pearl Harbor. Presumably then over
200 are needed for the Philippines, then comes the U-boat threat to the
US east coast plus Panama then comes the British requirement. The
British are useful, they give feedback on actual combat operations. Do
not forget aircraft for training operations as well plus the inevitable losses.

Kimmel is allowed "lack of resources" but Washington is not. Nice use
of logic.

So what's that say 600 aircraft, less around 1/2 for obsolete types, for
training and attrition, and we have 300 suitable aircraft. Pearl wants
200, the Philippines wants more, the east coast wants some, the
British want some, the training system wants more so it can up the
training rate and so on.

Pearl Harbor was given 49 aircraft, enough to continuously cover an
arc of 90 degrees according to Professor Gannon, or the approaches
from the Japanese mandated islands. How many were actually flying
such searches on the 5th, 6th and 7th?

Gone looking for this evidence? Just jump to conspiracy theory, instead
of something like they decided it looked like the Navy was being kind to
its own.

"Putting words into Kimmel's mouth now I see. Kimmel's defence was
that he was deprived of information he needed, mainly messages from
the local Japanese consulate and timely warning of the time the last
Japanese message was supposed to be presented to the US. There
was nothing said about senior leaders wanting the attack to happen."

On claims the inquiries were rigged,

"I like this, if the one entity argument is followed then the claimed let
off for Kimmel is the rigged result, it was an all Navy affair."

Ah yes the movie Pearl Harbor is your guide to US intelligence
actions in 1941, but wait, there is more, since the movie is a joke
on this point the need is to imply the British did it. Just ignore the
way the British had more pressing matters on their hands, that
the US was leading the way against Japanese diplomatic traffic
and the British and US were sharing IJN code recovery work.
So what one knew the other did as well.

Yes folks, Kimmel was where he should be, no matter where you
go, there you are.

Note by the way the attempt to paint the inquiry as the absolutely right
result, despite claiming not to have seen the evidence presented to it.
The USN is the straight organisation, despite the fact it would have
been doing the decoding of those wonder messages, it is the one
that holds the "truth", everything else is wrong. The conspiracy does
not apply to the naval inquiry, it could never have been rigged of
course, it has the "right" result, so everything else was rigged.

What did the inquiry clear Kimmel of, dereliction of duty, lack of
judgement?

Standard conspiracy stuff, the right answer is out there, somewhere,
pick your preferred outcome.

Previously before the next text was another standard claim about
conspiracies, as usual the claim has to be deleted and the subject changed.

I like this, especially since I posted text showing how the War Warning
messages were the same around the Pacific. And MacArthur certainly
did not lose more men and equipment that the people in Hawaii in the
opening day of the war.

What I really like is the duck, unable to answer the text, so change the
subject.

"By the way the above logic implies the Japanese could have invaded
the Philippines, Wake and Guam, killing and capturing Americans and
the US would have allowed this. The US did not need Pearl Harbor to
enter the Pacific war. The IJN started sinking US merchant ships just
before the attack went in."

Try and read history, it provides answers like, 1) too far away to know
exactly what was going on, 2) MacArthur controlling much of the
information flow, 3) The low expectations about holding the Philippines,
4) The reality moving against MacArthur would provoke a reaction in
Washington, being seen as an attempt by FDR to rid himself of an
unwanted General.

Deleted text,

It would be nice to know the source of the claimed Kimmel words, it
seems his lifetime's output is being searched for any claim he made,
no proof offered.

Remarkable line being run, the US is the source of all evil but the US
is so good, so amazing, it cannot be defeated, only betrayed from
within. No one can launch an unexpected attack on the US, it sees
and knows all, I must ask the US where my favourite pen has ended up.

over the entire period 1940-41. They
cover the work of the entire unit known as OP-20-GY, the Navy cryptanalytic
office in Washington, and also report on the progress of the Navy
decryption units in Hawaii and Cavite. They show unambiguously that when


You spent lots of time and energy to post long usenet messages,which I
appreciate,but you most of the times forget a couple of words long small
details.

Lets start with famous hard (!)to break JN25 codes.
1)They are not hard to break,they are actually 19th Century type codes that
somehow apperared in 20th century.
2)A very identical coding system was introduced in US in 1898 for Navy and Army
and and abondoned in 1917 because it was insecure.
3)It has dictionary of 33,333 words and phrases each given as a five figure
number and these were added to random numbers contained in a 2nd code book
4)The dictionary was changed only once before Pearl Harbor on Dec 1,1940.
But random book was changed in every 3 to 6 months.
5)The Japanase blundered away the Code when they introduced JN25B by continuing
to use the random table books that have been solved by the allies,for two more
months.That was the equivalent of reconstructing the exposed dictionary.US
recovered the whole thing immediately.
So if you know JB25B inroduction date,you also know when allies cracked the
code basically.
Just for the record,in 1994 NSA published that JN25B code was completely
cracked in December 1940.
They knew that many knew that and they finally admitted.
6)In January 1941,US gave Britain two JN25B note books with keys
7)Whole Pearl Harbor schema was based on this code.
8)Between Sep1 and Pearl Harbor attack US intercepted total 26581 (acc.to NSA)
JN25N coded messages.
9)Churchill wrote "from the end of 1940 Americans had pierced vital Japanase
ciphers and were decoding large numbers of Japanase MILITARY and diplomatic
messages" GRAND ALLIANCE page 598

Hard to break JN25B code is an urban legend created in Washington D.C.to cover
treason.

tinnett simply ignores the IJN code book upgrade of December
1940 in order to make his book work. That is the blinding of
allied intelligence after making good progress into the initial code
book "A" (hence the classification


And you simply ignore that Japanase actually blundered away the JN25B code when
they continued to use random table books for two more months after the
introduction of JN25B.
It was one biggest blunders of WWII.

No one can launch an unexpected attack on the US, it sees
and knows all, I must ask the US where my favourite pen has ende


Let me formulate differently,there were no intel gaps in 1941,there were also
no intel gaps in 2001.

"He who controls the past ,controls the future,he who controls the
present,controls the past" Orwell.

I think the quote from Orwell explains why some do not like idea of reopening
of Ft.Sumter,Maine and Pearl Harbor cases.

Clearly you have never had a security clearance. those of us who have

know
that the default position is to classify everything and declassify almost
nothing.


So mere mortals,that means American People and their elected

represantatives,
should not know anything or should only know what you want them to know.
Thanks for the clarification,exactly that was my point.


Quite a few elected reps do know, they are the ones on the appropriate
committees, the rest are not supposed to know.

It doesn't make your point, it just shows that you lack one.


Why - because if you fail to classify something (or mistakenly declassify
something) that should remain secret then you can't go back.


Of course the mere mortals and their elected represantatives have no idea

about
works of their unelected "masters".


Conspirowhacko nonsense. why do you think it is that you are considered a
figure of fun?

Quite a few elected reps do know, they are the ones on the appropriate

What loons like you fail to realise is that the documents that you think
support your fantasy no doubt have some classified info in them, it just

has
nothing to do with your delusions.


Yeah right,pre-Pearl Harbor cyrpt technology is more relevant than post PH
technology,you implied that before.


Quite possibly.


Only reason that they are still unlocked is that these documents prove the
existence of a "school of thought" among our unelected "masters" within

US
gov't which basically says gov't should even kill,or allow others to

kill,its
own soldiers,sailors,civilians to achieve broader political goals.
This strategy exists for last 150 years with minor modifications,and

unless
mere mortals face the reality and confront their unelected masters,or

unelected
masters blunder gravely (thats happening now) will continue for another

150
years.


Conspirowhacko nonsense. why do you think it is that you are considered a
figure of fun?

There are plenty of potential reasons for classifying Docs, you just focus
on the least credible one. because you are insane.



So now well documented historical fact is 'political correctness', trying
that one doesn't hep your case either.


Well documented?
Didn't you say by default everything is classified,nothing is

declassified?

No, I didn't you nutjob.



So,you are the one who decides what to declassify,not mere mortals
The mere mortals and their elected Reps.are only supposed to see your

"well
selected" documents and whitewash your actions.
Our unelected Masters need them only to legitimatize their actions not as

an
Oversight authority.


Conspirowhacko nonsense. why do you think it is that you are considered a

And since you don't know the contents of those withdrawn docs, you don't
know what it is they might tell, you are simply building a fantasy.


Pre-Pearl Harbor documents that were part of first batch released from
Crane,were withdrawn after the release of "Days of Deceipt".So they were
available for a short period.


and you don't know what was in them you nutjob, you just hope they support
your delusions.


I think the simplest thing to point out here is that you think the movie
"Pearl Harbor" is a documentary, which indicates how little credibility

you
actually have on the subject.


The starting point was the movie,and you have bitten it off.


"The starting point was the movie", hint nutjob - it is "based on real
events", not a documentary.

"He who controls past,controls future,he who controls present,controls to past"

That might be one of the potential reasons?

Yes,quite a few.
Again our unelected masters in gov't decide who those "quite a few" will be

You do not understand the sign of the times at all.
Thanks to our unelected "Masters" in gov't,surely you are not one of
them,worlwide the words "Dumb American" replaced Vietnam era words "Ugly
American".

So coal caught fire in a very politically correct location and time.


No, coal bunker fires were known in the period to burn for weeks before
flairing up.


Indeed they were - one of the factors on the catastrophic nature of
teh loss of the Lusitania was an ongoing bunker fire that had been
going for about half the voyage - when teh torpedos hit, they stirred
up the coal dust in the bunkers. Aerosol-ed coal dust is very
explosive.

Warships were blowing up all over the World, in just abpot all navies
at that time. Coal fires aren't great seeping conflagrations -
without some sort of draught, they're slichtly smouldering piles of
very hot rocks. Ammunition handling wasn't particularly rigorous,
either.
