On December 7, 1941, Japanese bombers attacked the US Pacific Fleet in Pearl
Harbour, Hawaii, killing about 2,460.41

FDR, and his closest advisors, not only knew of the attack in advance and did
not prevent it, they had actually provoked it. Lt. Arthur McCollum, head of the
Far East desk for U.S. Navy intelligence, wrote a detailed eight-step plan on
October 7, 1940 that was designed to provoke an attack.42 FDR immediately set
the covert plan in motion. Soon after implementing the final step, Japan
attacked Pearl Harbour.

After meeting FDR on October 16, 1941, Secretary of War Henry Stimson wrote: "We
face the delicate question of the diplomatic fencing to be done so as to be sure
Japan is put into the wrong and makes the first bad move -- overt move." On
November 25, after another meeting with FDR, Stimson wrote: "The question was:
how we should maneuver them [the Japanese] into the position of firing the
first shot."43

The US had cracked Japanese diplomatic and military codes.44 A Top Secret Army
Board report (October 1944), shows that the US military knew "the probable exact
hour and date of the attack."45 On November 29, 1941, the Secretary of State
revealed to a reporter that the attack's time and place was known. This
foreknowledge was reported in the New York Times (Dec. 8, 1941).46
