On Dec. 8, 1941, Franklin Roosevelt took the rostrum before a joint session of Congress to ask for a declaration of war on Japan.
A day earlier, at dawn, carrier-based Japanese aircraft had launched a sneak attack devastating the U.S. battle fleet at Pearl Harbor.
Said ex-President Herbert Hoover, Republican statesman of the day, “We have only one job to do now, and that is to defeat Japan.”
But to friends, “the Chief” sent another message: “You and I know that this continuous putting pins in rattlesnakes finally got this country bit.”
Today, 70 years after Pearl Harbor, a remarkable secret history, written from 1943 to 1963, has come to light. It is Hoover’s explanation of what happened before, during and after the world war that may prove yet the death knell of the West.

Seems more and more the truth is coming to light about this country and its deeds.
I'm as patriotic as the next guy but we have been lied to, manipulated and used.
We have been blind to what this government has done and continues to do.
We trusted them, we had faith in them to do the right thing, and we have been betrayed. For lack of better word.
The things we have been seeing happening in other countries is now happening on our soil.
Pretty soon they will be shooting the OWS protesters like Syria is shooting their protesters.
The scary part is, it's going to get much worse. We ain't seen nothing yet.
