December 7 1941: A date which will live in infamy

Reflecting on Three of the Most Tragic Assaults on the United States of America



December 7 1941: A date which will live in infamyEighty years ago, on a sleepy Sunday morning a few minutes before 8am, all hell broke loose at the United States naval base in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Contemporary military historians usually agree that the surprise bombing and torpedo assault on U.S. planes and ships on December 7, 1941, was one of the most successful in the history of warfare. Today is a day of remembrance-- the day of infamy as Franklin Delano Roosevelt said--the day Pearl Harbor was bombed by the Imperial Military of the Empire of Japan. The government had initiated the attack and was proud of the incredible success.

A devious, destructive, and deadly dictatorship deliberately attacked the U.S. in 1941

It is crystal clear that the attack upon Pearl Harbor was an act of war initiated to commit horrendous destruction, and kill as many of the United States Military as possible. In just two hours, over 2,400 Americans had been killed. And, 1,178 military personnel and civilians had been wounded, 188 aircraft had been destroyed with an additional 159 more aircraft damaged, and approximately 20 ships were either completely sunk, seriously damaged, or crippled. Sadly, the tragedy at Pearl Harbor ultimately went far beyond Hawaii and the United States. By the time President Roosevelt addressed Congress on December 8, 1941, the Empire of Japan “had undertaken a surprise offensive extending throughout the Pacific area.” F.D.R. reported to Congress in his address he was aware that the Japanese imperial government had launched simultaneous attacks against Hong Kong, the Philippine Islands, Malaya, Guam, and Wake Island. Before this day, Japan had launched an attack on Manchuria in 1931, and then had attacked mainland China in 1937. The “peace keeping” body in the years following World War I was the League of Nations. It was ineffective and relatively powerless in limiting Japan’s imperialistic thrusts in the Pacific realms. A devious, destructive, and deadly dictatorship deliberately attacked the U.S. in 1941, and the empire-builders in Japan’s government had targeted the U.S. stronghold in order to keep the only nation that could stop its imperialistic thrusts out of its way. This sneak attack was also a powerful demonstration of Japan’s military might and was meant to cripple the Pacific Fleet. It was also a bold act of terror intended to foment fear in the American public. People around the world found such a devastating attack hard to believe, and Americans had to grapple with their grief over the sudden massive loss of human life and violent destruction. However, nearly 60 years after such an attack, the nation suffered an even worse attack.

9/11: Osama Bin Laden and Al-Qaeda

At the dawning of the new millennium, a devious, destructive, and deadly terrorist organization deliberately attacked the U.S. On September 11, 2001, American citizens witnessed another “Day of Infamy” via the attacks on the World Trade Center towers and the Pentagon. The sneak attacks initiated by Osama Bin Laden and Al-Qaeda terrorists struck civilian and military targets as they managed to weaponize commercial airliners against multiple targets taking the lives of innocent civilians from all over the world. Currently, the multiple attacks are recognized as the most successful surprise assault against America. This shocked Americans and people around the world who were forced to grapple with their grief over the sudden massive destruction and widespread loss of life --worse even than Pearl Harbor. Tragically, the combined terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, led to the murders of over 2,977 people and the injuring of 6,000 others -- people from over 90 nations died in the attacks. In the days following 9/11, America changed dramatically. We speak of post-9/11 as the day became a demarcation line between the “old” America and America we live in today. Memories of the attacks on the civilians in the Twin Towers, the military personnel at the Pentagon, and the defenseless passengers on the airliner that went down in an obscure field in Pennsylvania, left permanent scars upon the nation, the people, and the American way of life. These two horrible acts of destruction and murder on U.S. soil were incredibly dark days in U.S. history. Both assaults awakened the American public to develop a more substantial and comprehensive response to a perceived enemy, and both initiated a definite turning point in U.S. history. Yet, as horrendous and deadly as these two infamous attacks upon the United States have been, what if a more subtle and insidious assault is happening against our nation right now? Last year around this time, I posted an article questioning How Many Assaults The CCP Had Launched Against The United States. It was a real question, not based upon conspiracy theories, but based upon what is readily observable to the people who care to consider the proverbial “writing on the wall.”

China: COVID-19 Plandemic, Fentanyl, Economy

The article was in no way comprehensive, but it outlined a series of “peace-time assaults” upon the United States and its citizens. Now, even more than one year ago, more “real” news in the alternative media has revealed CCP aggression on a number of fronts, not only in America, but also worldwide. It is much more obvious to awakened Americans now than it was during the 2016 election that China is America’s most formidable international enemy. Many Americans could not understand why candidate Donald Trump was picking on China. It was because Trump knew the CCP--more than the average voter knew. But, Joe Biden assured us that “man… China is no threat.” To this day, he is not able to call them an adversary--his public pronouncement is that they are just “competition.” Yet, recent uproar over GOP Representative Paul Gosar being censured resurrected the buried story of the Democrat’s acceptance of California Representative Eric Swalwell having a real live relationship with a real live CCP spy. GOP Representative Lauren Boebert reminded Americans that “My colleague, and three-month presidential candidate from California …on the Intelligence Committee, slept with ‘Fang Fang,’ a Chinese spy.” So it is now no big deal that a member of Congress who receives classified briefings has a relationship with a CCP spy. It reflects a mere tip of a proverbial iceberg in that it is likely that the CCP has several more spies in the U.S. than the U.S. has in China—a case in point would be the elimination of the CIA network. And, ex-CIA agent, Jerry Chun Shing Lee, pleaded guilty to spying for the CCP, and officials believe he was linked to the destruction of the CIA agent network in China. He was a CIA agent! So the CCP has spies in all the right places.

China is the origin of the widespread illegal drug epidemic

Also, China is the origin of the widespread illegal drug epidemic as the CCP is likely behind the pumping of fentanyl into the nation via several outlets. This has caused massive numbers of addictions and deaths. Additionally, out of China came the deadly COVID-19 Plandemic. While fentanyl is killing off the young and the middle-aged, the elderly are in the kill zone for COVID. COVID restrictions were able to permit leeway for further attacks against the nation such as the shutdowns to destroy a previously robust economy as well as mail-in ballot mania that enabled the ruling Party to steal the 2020 presidential election. Trump was a pending threat to the CCP agenda, and historical methodology for the conquest of a nation is to work through a puppet government with a native leader or local state tyrants. Such an assault is seemingly innocuous, yet it is incredibly complex. It is the most potentially successful of these three tragic assaults upon America. In the previous two, it could be said they were deadly, yet sloppy. 9/11 and Pearl Harbor were bad enough, but are we ready for what China can do? The current CCP assault would make Sun Tzu and Mao Zedong proud. What would the Founding Fathers say? Sun Tzu said: "In the practical art of war, the best thing of all is to take the enemy’s country whole and intact; to shatter and destroy it is not so good. So, too, it is better to recapture an army entire than to destroy it, to capture a regiment, a detachment or a company entire than to destroy them."
