Hollerin' at West Virginians to wake up to the truth! "Mountaineers are always free" is the real but forgotten State Motto that needs to be re-asserted before it is no longer true.
An alternative, non-partisan, independent media blog for West Virginia breaking through the official propaganda of contracted news and the distortions of Talk Radio.
Even the History Channel has recently covered credible historians and military authors' conspiracy theories about FDR and Pearl Harbor, which coerced America into the European war with Germany and defeated the "isolationist" or Nonintervention movement in America (which aviator Charles Lindbergh played a key role in) which had prevented it. (Actually, about 80% of Americans were against going to war against Germany for the sake of Great Britain. The term "isolationists" was a term brandished to abuse the principled public in order to go into wars unnecessarily and for no purpose of self-defense. This same label is used on Ron Paul today in republican debates by Establishment RINOs and war-mongers who want to engage Iran pre-emptively).
Please read the recent article below about President Hoover's now released secret book about FDR which also references authors that are part of this History Channel program in regard to the truth about FDR and Pearl Harbor.
Then consider how much you should trust the government's official stories of events and reasons for war. (Go ahead, search about the Lusitania and WWI or the Gulf of Tonkin event for Vietnam too). Yes, your serious consideration should include 9/11 too. The public after December 7, 1941 could not imagine any President deliberately permitting or provoking that attack either. It's interesting how the neoconservatives wrote about "a new Pearl Harbor" being "necessary" prior to September 11, 2001 in order to begin wars for "global hegemony" according to their Middle East blueprint too.
A summarization of the conspiracy by FDR (and Britain's Winston Churchill, see the review of Betrayal at Pearl Harbor: How Churchill Lured Roosevelt into World War II) involving Motive, Means, and Opportunity (key components to any criminal investigation of "who did it") begins just after the 18:00 minute mark. It all becomes so very, very clear.
Did you feel it? That great cataclysmic event on 11-11-11? No not a physical one, but a metaphysical one took place. There was no earthquake. But an intellectual tremor and tumult rumbled and broke out as Truth woke up and came forth from the grave. A significant witness from the grave has just been summoned and called to give testimony to today's post-9/11 America, and not too soon.
One of the most controversial books in American history has just been published, and ironically was introduced on November 7, just before the numerically significant Veteran's Day, November 11th, 2011 (11-11-11). What is unique about this particular book is that its author was a U.S. President, who kept it a secret until now, a generation after his death. If this book is not widely announced in major media then Americans should be suspicious as to why Bush and Cheney's recent books, and even Condi Rice's memoirs, would receive more of their attention than that from President Hoover. If America is interested in what Steve Jobs said and wrote before his decease, how much more an American president? Academics and historians are already praising it and shouting about its importance. Veterans in particular should pay attention, for it was their blood put on the line. And before you read on, remember that General Patton was not very keen (to put it mildly) on the U.S. being allies with communist Russia in order to make war on Germany.
From the Academic Journal FIRST PRINCIPLES, George Nash on November 15th wrote this article below introducing former (conservative) President Herbert Hoover's Magnum Opus book, FREEDOM BETRAYED, that has not been published....until now. This book authored by President Hoover is, and will prove to be, an absolute bomb shell, as to how Americans view World War II in future generations, even if this one ignores it willingly.
The Truth never long remains buried, but is always called eventually by the God of Providence into a resurrection, and rises again to indict and charge its unjust persecutors who thought it put away like Joseph into slavery (the Bible), a Tell-Tale Heart (Poe) from a corpse behind a brick wall, or pulled off in secret like a Watergate break-in (Nixon's plumbers). Do the American people really blindly believe the wars the government pushes us into are always justified, and therefore should be glorified? This cross-examination of America under FDR's presidency and WWII history by the credible President Hoover will not be so easy to dismiss. It also touches upon the real truth about the "Red Scare" in America and whether Communism was in fact infiltrating U.S. government, as he believed it was. Wasn't it FDR in fact that pushed and passed the Social(ist) Security Act, the first Welfare and Entitlement, and communistic Big Government program? Those who know American history know that FDR who led America to war (like Wilson) also pushed the New Deal programs that many claim President Obama has imitated even as a perpetual "war on terrorism" (for Global Democracy, in truth) is waged with bipartisan support. But I digress.
The typical unquestioning, flag-waving view of America's involvement in WWII (which actually turned it into a world war in fact) is held sacred every Veteran's Day in particular and is indoctrinated through the government school system and government-media complex so that subsequent generations have had to genuflect in praise without thinking more sagaciously about the war against Hitler's Germany and the "Empire of Japan" (FDR's words). Neither is a moral thought hardly given to the real holocausts (death by burning) of dropping 2 Atomic Bombs on two civilian cities in Japan or the total incineration of the civilian city of Dresden, Germany by U.S. and its allies with firebombs. (Strictly legally and morally speaking, these were war crimes, as much as General Sherman burning Southern cities during the un-Civil War. Talk about killing and targeting "non-combatants" or "collateral damage"! Don't get me started about the especially developed "Holocaust" propaganda machine that has been used to justify the controversial war after it was finished to further inflame emotional passions through entire fabrications and lying statistics). If the average American today had been alive in the 1930s and 40s their view of the justification for the war against Germany in particular would be as controversial as the post-war reflection today about Iraq. Americans did not want to go to war against Germany and it posed no imminent threat to the U.S.. Pearl Harbor was the "catalyzing event", like a 9/11 (see the neoconservatives Project for New American Century's quote about this), to justify war with Japan, and then Germany as their ally.
More of the truth challenging the official story and justification for WWII has been published recently (see our Bookstore below). Military author Robert Stinnett published his book DAY OF DECEIT: THE TRUTH ABOUT FDR AND PEARL HARBOR, as a military participant and expert, laying out the documented proof that FDR tricked Americans into war against Germany by a deliberate conspiracy to provoke Japan to attack the U.S. Pacific Fleet (e.g. sending them from San Diego to a sitting duck position in Hawaii, like bait for sharks). The book is an eye-opener enough. Even more recently conservative and former republican presidential candidate Patrick Buchanan published his book called CHURCHILL, HITLER, AND THE UNNECESSARY WAR, which amazingly is now being vindicated by President Hoover's book now published long after his decease! AMERICANS NOW NEED TO WAKE UP TO THESE SIGNIFICANT AND CREDIBLE WITNESSES THAT TESTIFY IN NO UNCERTAIN TERMS THAT AMERICA'S GOING TO WAR AND FOMENTING IT INTO WORLD WAR II WAS BASED ON DELIBERATE CONSPIRACY, DISHONESTY, AND CONTRARY TO THE GOOD OF AMERICA AND THE WORLD, THE CONSEQUENCES OF WHICH WE ARE STILL REAPING TODAY.
It is also a solid proof as to why now, before the 2012 presidential elections, Americans should more thoroughly, constitutionally, and dispassionately consider just why both major parties have candidates (mainly CFR members) who are invoking war with Iran, among others, for continued wars for Democracy and giving foreign aid and allying with other countries who even have contrary principles (e.g. Israel is undemocratic and blatantly racist and has WMD, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, et al), upon false pretenses of "terrorist threat", "WMD" and rhetorical "mushroom clouds" (Gingrich pulled that to justify the PATRIOT ACT yesterday in debate against Ron Paul), as the U.S. government enlarges itself and continues to trample our Constitution and lead us toward Global Government, while indebting and bankrupting itself, ruining our money and economy on our hard-working backs. As former President Hoover will show, the Great Deceiver, Franklin D. Roosevelt, did the same thing, and unfortunately, though challenged, got away with it. But now historical truth catches and indicts him for what he did, so that hopefully Americans today can prevent it again, and see more clearly exactly the mess we are in today by consequence.
Freedom Betrayed
George H. Nash - 11/15/11
In November 1951, a public relations executive named John W. Hill met Herbert Hoover at a dinner in New York City. It was an unhappy time in the United States, especially for conservative Republicans. Abroad, the Korean War had turned into a bloody stalemate that President Harry Truman’s administration seemed unable to end. Earlier in the year, the president had abruptly dismissed General Douglas MacArthur, a conservative hero, from America’s Far Eastern military command, to the consternation of Hoover and millions of others. At home, Truman’s liberal Democratic administration was under furious assault from conservative critics of its policies toward communist regimes overseas and communist subversion within our borders.
How quickly the world had changed since the close of the Second World War a few years earlier. Then the future had seemed bright with promise. Nazi Germany and imperial Japan had been crushed; fascism as an ideology had been discredited; the birth of the United Nations had appeared to presage an era of global peace. Now, a mere six years later, in Asia and along the Iron Curtain in Europe, a third world war—this time against communist Russia and China—seemed a distinct possibility.
“Mr. Hoover,” said Hill that November evening, “the world is in one hell of a mess, isn’t it?”
“It certainly is,” Hoover replied.
“It has always occurred to me,” Hill continued, “that we are in this mess because of the mistakes of statesmen. Somebody ought to write a book [on the subject] like [E. S. Creasy’s] ‘Fifteen Decisive Battles of the World’; I think it would be a classic.”
“You are absolutely right,” Hoover responded. “That should be done, and I am going to tell you what should be the first chapter.”
“What is that?” asked Hill.
“When Roosevelt put America in to help Russia as Hitler invaded Russia in June, 1941. We should have let those two bastards annihilate themselves.”
Hill was delighted. “That would be a great book. Why don’t you write it, Mr. Hoover?”
“I haven’t the time,” Hoover countered. “Why don’t you write it?”
What Hill did not know—and what Hoover, that evening, did not tell him—was that for several years Hoover had been at work on a book with a similar theme: a comprehensive, critical history of American diplomacy between the late 1930s and 1945, with emphasis on the misguided policies of President Roosevelt. It was a volume in which the Roosevelt administration’s wartime alliance with the Soviet Union would be subject to withering scrutiny.
Twenty years later, in 1971, in a conversation with an interviewer, Hill lamented that no one had ever written the book he had once proposed to Hoover on “The Fifteen Decisive Blunders of Statesmen.” “I have always wished somebody would do it,” he added. “It would be controversial because every one of the decisions the author stated would cause trouble, would cause somebody to come up and defend it, and the book would sell like hotcakes.”
What Hill did not realize was that nearly eight years earlier Hoover had completed his own book of diplomatic blunders. Unlike the scattershot collection of essays that Hill had envisaged, Hoover’s tome was tightly focused. Originally conceived as the section of his memoirs that would cover his life during World War II, the “War Book” (as he called it) had morphed into something far more ambitious: an unabashed, revisionist reexamination of the entire war—and a sweeping indictment of the “lost statesmanship” of Franklin Roosevelt.
Hoover ultimately entitled his manuscript Freedom Betrayed. More informally, and with a touch of humor, he and his staff came to refer to it as the Magnum Opus. The label was apt. For nearly two decades, beginning in 1944, the former president labored over his massive manuscript, producing draft after draft, “edition” after “edition.” He finished the final version (save for some minor editing and additional fact-checking) in September 1963 and prepared in the ensuing months for the book’s publication. Death came first, on October 20, 1964. A little over two months earlier, he had turned ninety years old.
After Hoover’s passing, his heirs decided not to publish his Magnum Opus. Since then, for nearly half a century, it has remained in storage, unavailable for examination.
The new volume Freedom Betrayed presents the book in its final, author-approved edition of 1963–64. It is published—and its contents thereby made available to scholars—for the first time.
This essay is adapted from the Editor’s Introduction to Freedom Betrayed: Herbert Hoover’s Secret History of the Second World War and Its Aftermath, just published by Hoover Institution Press
FDR deliberately set up a plan to provoke Japan into attacking the US Pacific Fleet in Pearl Harbor (where they sat as ducks in this new forward position, resisted by Naval commanders for that very reason), in order to force reluctant Americans into war with Germany.
Throughout 1941, FDR implemented the remaining seven provocations. He then gauged [monitored] Japanese reaction through intercepted and decoded communications intelligence originated by Japan’s diplomatic and military leaders.
The island nation’s militarists used the provocations to seize control of Japan and organized their military forces for war against the U.S., Great Britain, and the Netherlands. The centerpiece – the Pearl Harbor attack – was leaked to the U.S. in January 1941. During the next 11 months, the White House followed the Japanese war plans through the intercepted and decoded diplomatic and military communications intelligence.
The sinking of the USS West Virginia, then, can be laid at the feet of President Roosevelt, in order to provoke West Virginians and Americans into war in the European (as well as Japanese) theater which they had resisted.
This
week, as Americans remember those 2403 men, women, and children
killed – and 1178 wounded – in the Japanese attack on
Pearl Harbor, Hawaii on December 7, 1941, recently released government
documents concerning that "surprise" raid compel us to
revisit some troubling questions.
There are
two questions at the top of the foreknowledge list: (1) whether
President Franklin D. Roosevelt and his top military chieftains
provoked Japan into an "overt act of war" directed at
Hawaii, and (2) whether Japan’s military plans were obtained in
advance by the United States but concealed from the Hawaiian military
commanders
Roosevelt believed that provoking Japan into an attack on Hawaii
was the only option he had in 1941 to overcome the powerful America
First non-interventionist movement led by aviation hero Charles
Lindbergh. These anti-war views were shared by 80 percent of the
American public
Americans are rather superstitious when it comes to remembering historical events and sentimentalism (the purpose behind memorials) usually trumps truth, as the propagandists prefer. If Americans knew more accurately the facts behind the history they would be more wary and fearful of trusting the federal government, and see how far it has rebelled against its own Constitution and strayed from the very basis of its own independence from Britain's tyranny. They would stop painting Presidents as if they were good Christian men or making judgments as if one political party is good and the other evil. Today, Pearl Harbor Day, is a good time to call attention to this, and the context of the continuing "war on terrorism" (a key subject with the 2008 candidates) should be considered in light of the truth behind Pearl Harbor.
Americans have been far too trusting of their government until the "new Pearl Harbor", 9/11, came into play and was used to justify pre-emptive wars. After 9/11 many Americans began to question the official story of that event in light of the evidence, especially given the following:
1. The WTC Towers' perfect symmetrical, exploding collapse at virtual free-fall speed (a physical impossibility in mere collapse), which had all the appearance of controlled demolition, and especially in that the towers were designed to sustain multiple impacts of 707 airliners, and that fires never destroy steel towers.
2. The government's official story, along with media interviews with neoconservative "experts", that Arab hijackers and Usama bin Laden, (later called Islamic jihadists "who hate us because we are free"), were blamed immediatelydespite the lack of evidence, and contrary to the denials of such by bin Laden and the Taliban alike in foreign press.
3. The lack of any identifiable plane wreckage at the WTC, the Pentagon, or in Shanksville; the lack of autopsies or any identification or recovery of "Arab hijackers" on the flights.
4. That simultaneous war games were coincidentally in operation on 9/11, which provided ideal cover and confusion for the FAA that day, which also involved hijacking scenarios and tied up NORAD operations from scrambling planes.
6. That the neoconservatives (including Dick Cheney, Jeb Bush, Paul Wolfowitz, Donald Rumsfeld, James Woolsey, Dov Zakheim, Douglas Feith, Richard Perle, et al who filled strategic positions in the Bush administration, Pentagon, and media sources as "terrorism experts", had written a blueprint for a "new middle east", advocating what they called "global hegemony" and regime changes in Iraq, Iran, Syria, etc., which they had (under the Project for a New American Century) published in Sept. 2000, with these interesting words:
"The process of transformation [Ed. aggressive global American military adventurism] could be a long one, absent a catalyzing event, like a new Pearl Harbor".
How perfectly 9/11 was then touted to be a "new Pearl Harbor", by Charles Krauthammer (a neocon writing for the Washington Post) and George W. Bush within 24 hours! Could their "catalyzing event like a new Pearl Harbor" and 9/11 be just a mere coincidence, of which also the official story does not fit the reliable evidence? It is difficult to deny that those who benefited most from 9/11 were the neoconservatives and their agenda, and Israel.
New Yorkers were among the first skeptics, as they should be having the most immediate interest. A Zoby poll in Aug. 2004 stated this:
Half of New Yorkers Believe US Leaders Had Foreknowledge of Impending 9-11 Attacks and “Consciously Failed” To Act; 66% Call For New Probe of Unanswered Questions by Congress or New York’s Attorney General, New Zogby International Poll Reveals
Then a Scripps Howard/Ohio University poll of Americans over a year ago showed that Americans have begun to think more critically about the official version of government events, and its motives for war:
More than a third of the American public suspects that federal officials assisted in the 9/11 terrorist attacks or took no action to stop them so the United States could go to war in the Middle East, according to a new Scripps Howard/Ohio University poll.
And even a more recent Zogby poll, Sept. 2007, went largely unreported by the media that summarized the following:
Zogby Poll: 51% of Americans Want Congress to Probe Bush/Cheney Regarding 9/11 Attacks; Over 30% Seek Immediate Impeachment
67% also fault 9/11 Commission for not investigating anomalous collapse of World Trade Center 7
It is evident then that Americans are scrutinizing the federal government, particularly the Executive branch, and its official stories and pretexts for war more closely with greater skepticism. Yet many Americans are either in cognitive dissonance when confronted with the evidence or resist such "conspiracy theories" with this question: "Who would think that anyone in our government would be involved in the death of so many Americans?" A new examination of Pearl Harbor demonstrates that deceit and lies, even conspiracy to permit or enact "attacks", is not beyond the pale of what elements within the government have done in the past. This is sufficient in fact to prove that Americans have been deliberately lied to and tricked before, in the most sinister manner, in order to push Americans into war.
Read for yourself this incredible book, by a very credible author, below about FDR's deliberate plan to provoke a Japanese attack (using the Pacific Fleet put way out to sea as bait) in order to get the U.S. to enter Britain's war against Germany, when Americans and Congress had no desire to enter that war. This puts 9/11 and the neoconservatives "new Pearl Harbor", and trust in U.S. government, in new light.

America's Government: Militant Democracy or Constitutional Republic?
Democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found incompatible with personal security, or the rights of property; and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths. -- James Madison In a democracy there is a centralization of governmental power in a simple majority. And that, visibly, is the system of government which the enemies of our republic are seeking to impose on us today. Nor are we "drifting" into that system ... We are being insidiously, conspiratorially, and treasonously led by deception, by bribery, by coercion, and by fear, to destroy a republic that was the envy and model for all of the civilized world. -- Robert Welch

In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem...It is my intention to curb the size and influence of the federal establishment and to demand recognition of the distinction between the powers granted to the federal government and those reserved to the states or to the people.
