🧵3/ The Engineered Pearl Harbor Plot To Provoke Japan Into Attacking The US, To Provide The US Pretext For Entering WW2, aka the "jewish plot" Japan had identified. Just as Germany was marked for destruction for defying the jewish international order, so too was Japan. Unfortunately for the warmongers...

🧵1/ YOU THINK YOU KNOW PEARL HARBOR? YOU DON'T. HERE'S THE REST OF THE STORY & what it has to do with Gaza, Syria, Russia/Ukraine, Iran and Greater Israel. Summary: ▪️Japan was exploited by international jewry to weaken Russia prior to the Bolshevik Revolution ▪️Japan was thus awakened to international jewish collusion & expelled the jews in 1926 ▪️Japan's rise in Nationalism & territorial expansion were motivated by the Communist encroachment via China, just as Germany was motivated by Communist encroachment ▪️Japan was maneuvered into attacking Pearl Harbor to provide pretext to take America to war ▪️We can see all these same fingerprints in action right now playing out in the Middle East and Russia/Ukraine on our way to WW3 *********************************** BEGIN 🧵 Months before Japan's sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, its news media was educating the Japanese on a "jewish plot" to "encircle Japan," backed by "jewish influence & power." FDR was surrounded by jews & their influence, but one particular jew stands out: Wall Street financier & political operative Bernard Baruch. Baruch was a close friend & advisor to Woodrow Wilson during WW1 & helped lead that war effort. Afterward, he was a strategic advisor during the Paris Peace Conference and helped engineer the League of Nations & the economic rape of post-war Germany. We should also note that US entry into WW1 helped secure Palestine for jews under the Balfour Declaration--sponsored by Baruch's fellow jewish financier friend, Lord Rothschild. In hindsight, that was step 1 for Greater israel secured! Later, Baruch became a close friend of both FDR & Winston Churchill, funding each of their political careers & providing them with strategic & coordinated support for WW2. A couple more tidbits: Baruch was a member of the Ku Klux Klan (jews infiltrating White movements?! Never!) and he strategically exited the famous Wall Street bull run prior to the infamous crash of 1929 (Insider knowledge?! Never!).

🧵2/ Pre-WW2 Japan: War with Russia, The Protocals, and Another Jewish Expulsion To understand why Pearl Harbor happened, we have to rewind the clock back to the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905. The European Rothschilds had curiously loaned both Russia and Japan $200 million to purchase weapons from their Rothschild-owned arms factories in Germany! (jews funding & supplying both sides?! Never!) Two of the most important results of this war were that Russia was left weakened & vulnerable for the Bolshevik Revolution looming right around the corner, and Japan was left bankrupt, jaded and awakened to being taken advantage of by jewish influence (see below). Sidebar: We also see now how the current Russia-Ukraine war--pushed by jews Antony Blinken & Victoria Nuland, financed by Blackrock jews and their zionist agents in the US congress, prosecuted by Ukrainian jew Volodymyr Zelenskyy--has left Russia weakened once again, such that it is unable to adequately prop up the Assad regime in Syria as it did earlier in the Syrian Civil War, which Donald Trump noted today (see below). The gameboard is being further cleared for Greater Israel & a showdown with Iran--who will shortly see its own supply lines to Hamas & Hezbollah cut off. This "education" of the Japanese after being left disillusioned from the 1905 war, led to The Protocols Of The Learned Elders of Zion eventually gaining widespread circulation & traction in Japan after WW1. (Isn't it interesting that the Protocols were first leaked to the world in 1905, the same year as the Russo-Japanese War?). By 1926, Japan expelled the jews from Nagasaki & then all of Japan! Later, it would be Bernard Baruch who would suggest Nagasaki as a target for the atomic bomb.

🧵4/ THE PRECURSORS TO WW3 LOOK PRETTY FAMILIAR I've been telling you for months that the war between Russia & Ukraine was being waged, in part, to weaken Russia & keep it from being able to effectively intervene in the Middle East, especially on behalf of Iran. We see that being manifested in real time as Russia cannot defend its ally Syria against the US-israel backed "terrorist rebels." Russia has been weakened by a jewish-engineered war now, just as it was in 1905 by Japan, in that jewish-engineered war. The lessions of waging economic warfare on Japan in order to provoke it to attack should remind you of sanctions on Russia, and the encroachment of NATO on Russia's border, provoking Russia to attack Ukraine. We also see the encroachment on Iran playing out in real time as well. The jewish playbook doesn't change (Literally, The Protocols). They've been trying to goad Iran into attacking israel for over a year in order to provide the pretext to justify an all-out attack on Iran by israel & the United States. Once Iran falls, and without any meaningful resistance by Russia via Syria, the way will be paved for Greater Israel. War between US-israel & Iran, and NATO-Ukraine & Russia would almost certainly draw China into the broader conflict. The West and the Far East would be reduced to economic & physical rubble in this WW3, from which Israel would rise as the new hegemon of the 21st century with control of the "World Island." Worldwide jewish conspiracy: complete.

How many parallels can you find? There are many:

Months before the attack, FDR asked for an analysis of what the consequences of an oil embargo against Japan would be. The analysis finished with the statement that Japan would most probably declare war against the USA within a year. FDR personally noted "Excellent!" beside this, and ordered the oil embargo.

They totally had foreknowledge because they provoked it! For a long time I thought it was just that we helped the UK cut off their shipping lanes. But do you think maybe sending our airman to China to shoot down her planes prob pissed them off? They were called the flying tigers.

🗣️ "The fact that the Soviet Union also invaded Poland in September 1939 was alright with Britain and France. They didn't declare war on the Soviet Union because the Soviet Union was for all practical purposes under Jewish rule. They did declare war on Germany because Germany under Hitler had broken loose from the grip of the Jews and had freed: -the German media -and German education -and German finance -and German politics -and German culture from Jewish influence and was in the process of kicking all of the Jews out of Germany. That was the reason for the Second World War, not Polish freedom or Polish territorial integrity. That was the reason why when in April 1943 the German army discovered the mass graves of some of the 25,000 Polish officers and intellectuals murdered by Jewish communists and invited the International Red Cross and journalists from many nations to view the evidence. The controlled media in Britain and the United States ignored the evidence and blamed the atrocity on the Germans. That was the reason why at the end of the war, those countries which had gone to war ostensibly to ensure the freedom of Poland agreed to turn Poland and Latvia and Hungary and the rest of Eastern Europe over to the communist butchers who had carried out the massacre of the elite of the Polish nation. Of course, the communists economically drained and ruined all of these countries. And these communists were Jews, which is to say, the Jews were the prime movers in the communist regimes imposed on those countries after the war and also were the primary beneficiaries of the regimes: -In Hungary, for example, there was the regime of the communist Jew Maciej Likosi, followed by another communist Jew, Ernő Gyerl. -In Romania, the communist Jewish Anna Palker ruled the country as First Secretary of the Central Committee. -In Poland, the Minister for State Control was the communist Jew Roman Zimbrowski. -In Czechoslovakia, the Secretary General of the Communist Party was the communist Jew Rudolf Slansky. -In Yugoslavia, while Tito held the spotlight, the communist Jew Mocsi Fiati was the Chairman of the National Assembly and President of Serbia. And so it went. And this in a Europe whose Jews supposedly had all been holocausted by Hitler. There were tens of millions of Hungarians and Poles and Latvians and Serbs and other Eastern Europeans under the yoke of communism who were wishing that Hitler had actually holocausted the Jews. These communist Jews were so hated by the Eastern Europeans they ruled and exploited that there was constant turmoil. And after the Hungarian uprising in 1956, many of the leading communist Jews were replaced by Gentile frontmen while the Jews continued to exploit the people from behind the scenes. Even as the communist regimes of Eastern Europe began collapsing during the last 15 years or so, and their economies were privatized, Jews continued to plunder the people among whom they lived. Using money from their brethren abroad and collusion with their corrupt kinsmen still in the various governments, they managed to buy up the most valuable factories, mines, and other national resources at fire sale prices and then melt them for all they were worth." -William Pierce about WW2

🗣️" In the years before the war, Hitler wasn't rounding up people by the thousands and shooting them the way the communists were. Hitler wasn't shooting anybody. His SS troops weren't raping or terrorizing anyone either. Hitler was doing one thing which resulted in a huge, lying, hate propaganda effort against him from Hollywood. That one thing was Hitler's campaign to break the grip of the Jews on Germany. -In Germany, Hitler took the news and entertainment media away from the Jews. -He kicked them out of the legal profession which they had monopolized. -He kicked them out of the teaching profession where they had been pumping their ideas into the heads of German children. And Hitler did all of this peacefully, nonviolently. He didn't round up Jews and shoot them. He simply made it illegal for them to own German newspapers and German radio stations. He made it illegal for them to practice law or to teach in German schools. And so the Jews were leaving Germany. Between 1933 and 1939, two-thirds of the Jews in Germany immigrated. At the same time, the Jewish commissars in the Soviet Union were butchering millions of people. But the hate propaganda coming out of Hollywood was entirely anti-German, not anti-Soviet. The Jews' only concern was the welfare of their fellow Jews. They didn't care how many Russians or Ukrainians were murdered, but they screamed at the top of their lungs when Hitler took the German media away from them. And they lied to the American people about what was happening in Europe. They lied in order to make us hate the Germans the way they did. When a Jew assassinated a German diplomat in Paris in 1938, and the German people reacted by mashing up Jewish department stores and synagogues in several German cities, the Jewish news media in the United States reported the incident as if Jews were being massacred wholesale in Germany. That was the famous Kristallnacht, which the Jews still continue to remind us of every year in order to melt a little more sympathy from us. The picture of Germany painted by Jewish hate propaganda in the United States during the years preceding the Second World War was a complete distortion of reality. Americans were told that Germans lived in constant fear of the Gestapo and the SS, that Hitler was a madman who terrorized the German people, and he fell to the floor and chewed the edge of his carpet when he became angry. Americans were told that Germany was a land of concentration camps and barbed wire and police dogs. Our invasion of Germany was to be a liberation of the German people from the tyrannical rule of Hitler and the SS. That's actually the word the Jewish propagandists used to describe the American and Soviet terror bombings, rape, and dismemberment of Germany. Liberation. The American and Soviet invaders were to be the.... liberators " -William Pierce - Jewish lies about Hitler (part 1)

Back in the summer of 2023, I drove with my family in a RV to the battle site of Khalkhin-Gol (also known as "Nomonhan") on the border between China and Mongolia proper. I took this video back then 👇 We spent the night right there, on the battle site. Yes, this is our idea of a nice family vacation 😅 It is probably the most important WW2 historical site most people have never heard of: it's where the Soviet Union defeated Japan in 1939, which changed the course of the war. Japan and Nazi Germany may have won WW2 were it not for the battles that happened right here during 135 days. Incredibly, this episode of the war is virtually untaught in the West, which shows how self-centered our version of history is. During WW2 Northeast of China had been invaded and annexed by Japan, transformed into a puppet state called Manchukuo. This place is in the extreme West of this former puppet state (which is now back to being Northeast China), on the border with Mongolia and the former Soviet Union (now the Russian border). At the time, 1939, Japan's basic strategy for the war was "Northward Advance" (Hokushin-ron), i.e. seizing Siberia for its resources as far as Lake Baikal. The USSR obviously begged to differ and Stalin sent General Zhukov, one of his best men (the future Marshal of the Soviet Union) on site to fight the Japanese back. Long story short, the battles that ensued - with 200,000 soldiers on the battlefield - lasted 135 days and were the earliest large-scale 3-dimensional warfare in military history. It ended in a humiliating Japanese defeat which some Japanese historians call "the greatest defeat in the history of the Japanese army", with 54,000 casualties (79% of frontline troops, as mentioned below). The most important consequence of the battles that were fought here is that the Japanese completely shifted their strategy from "Northward Advance" to "Southward Advance", favoring seizing the resources of Southeast Asia instead of those of Siberia. Masanobu Tsuji, the Japanese colonel most instrumental in these battles became "the most determined single protagonist in favor of war with the United States" and one of the strongest proponents of the attack on Pearl Harbor inside the Japanese army (according to postwar testimonies), having been traumatized by his experience of fighting the Soviet Union. The US was of course the biggest power the Japanese would have to confront by pursuing the "Southward Advance" strategy since only the US Pacific Fleet stood in the way of seizing the oil-rich Dutch East Indie. In fact the Khalkhin-Gol battles traumatized the Japanese so much that they didn't dare fight the Soviet Union again for the remainder of WW2. Even when their ally Nazi Germany opened the Eastern front the Japanese army adopted a resolution "not to intervene in German Soviet war for the time being", leaving Hitler to fight the Soviet Union on his own, which would ultimately prove to be his demise. So it's no exaggeration to say that had the battles here not been fought or had the Japanese won, WW2 would have most likely turned out dramatically different. Pearl Harbor wouldn't have happened, and Japan would have likely helped Nazi Germany fight the Soviet Union by opening a front to the East. Khalkhin-Gol may in fact have been the most consequential battles of WW2!

We knew we allied with evil and still are. Dr. William Luther Pierce speech "The Jewish Role in the Second World War" "And it's not as if we didn't know how our gallant Soviet ally would behave before we began our effort to destroy Hitler and his forces. Our government knew what the communists had done in Ukraine. Our government knew about the mass arrests and executions in the Soviet Union, and before we crossed the English Channel to invade Europe, we knew about the mass executions of Polish officers by the Reds at Katyn and elsewhere, and yet we allied ourselves with the mass murderers. We helped the mass murderers and mass rapists murder and rape millions of more Europeans, and so the claim that we were going to war to fight evil is simply a lie. The Second World War was not a good war, it wasn't a moral war, it was the most atrocious war of modern times. And we were on the side of those committing nearly all of the atrocities during that war. We were deliberately on the side of evil. And there is just one reason that we fought on the side of evil. It was because that was the Jewish side. In the years before the war, Hitler wasn't rounding up people by the thousands and shooting them the way the communists were, Hitler wasn't shooting anybody. His SS troops weren't raping or terrorizing anyone either. Hitler was doing one thing, which resulted in a huge lying hate propaganda effort against him from Hollywood.

Americans were told that Germany was a land of concentration camps and barbed wire and police dogs. Our invasion of Germany was to be a liberation of the German people from the tyrannical rule of Hitler and the SS... The American and Soviet invaders were to be the liberators. And so, the image of Germany most Americans had was the Jewish image of a land of terror and fear and brutality and repression... which needed to be liberated, and which was a deadly menace to America. The hate propagandists of Hollywood lied us into the most murderous and destructive war of all time solely because they hated the Germans and they wanted us to destroy the Germans for them. And they have maintained their pre-war lies even to this day... Most Americans still believe that their fathers or grandfathers liberated Germany and saved the world. They still believe that the Second World War was a necessary war and a good war. And the reason they believe it is that they have seen hundreds of Hollywood films and television shows which have repeated these same lies... We're still hearing the same lies in films like Steven Spielberg's Saving Private Ryan... The fact is that Hollywood's lies about Germany led to millions of white Americans and Europeans being slaughtered solely for the sake of punishing the Germans for throwing the Jews out of Germany."

Tucker Carlson claims: “In 1941, Roosevelt allowed Pearl Harbor to happen to get America into the war.” He proceeds to get some of the most basic historical facts wrong. Carlson insists it is “proven” that Roosevelt had full knowledge of the Pearl Harbor attack and allowed it to happen, saying “he did that in order to get us into a war the people didn’t want. It was anti-democratic.” He even asserts to Dave Smith: “The Senate had an inquiry into Pearl Harbor during the war. And it kinda concluded that yeah, we sorta knew, and then it was buried because there was a war on. What was that?” Except none of that is true. The Senate’s Pearl Harbor inquiry did not happen during the war - it began in late 1945, after Japan had surrendered. And the Committee’s findings explicitly stated: “The ultimate responsibility for the attack and its results rests upon Japan.” It also conclusively rejected the claim that President Roosevelt or senior U.S. officials “tricked, provoked, incited, cajoled, or coerced Japan” into attacking the United States. While it’s true Roosevelt wanted America to eventually join the fight against the Axis powers - and U.S. intelligence had picked up general indicators that Japan might strike somewhere in the Pacific - there is zero credible evidence that the U.S. had specific knowledge of the Pearl Harbor attack, let alone that Roosevelt allowed it to happen as a pretext for war. Carlson also continues promoting the idea that America should never have entered WWII, while ignoring a key fact: Germany and Italy declared war on the United States four days after Pearl Harbor, forcing a wider conflict regardless of U.S. preferences. Seeing Tucker Carlson push such a demoralising conspiracy theory while consistently misstating basic, easily verifiable facts about the event and the investigations afterward is remarkable. It makes clear he’s driven far more by an ideological narrative than by accuracy or evidence.

“If Japan gambles again, it will only face a swifter defeat and a more disastrous loss,” warned China's foreign minister Wang Yi on February 14, 2026. Wang Yi, a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and China's foreign minister, attended the #Munich Security Conference on Saturday, where he delivered a speech at the "China in the World" session and answered questions from the audience. When asked about China's responsibility regarding the resurgence of tensions in the Asia-Pacific region, Wang expressed his disagreement with the notion that regional tensions are escalating. Looking around the world, he noted that Asia remains the only region maintaining overall peace. Even the recent conflict on the Cambodia-Thailand border was swiftly resolved through the efforts of all parties, with China playing its part. China has become the mainstay of peace in Asia, Wang said. As a significant force for peace in the modern world, China will continue to play a constructive role in regional peace and stability, he added. Wang said that Asia is not without its challenges, and vigilance is required regarding recent dangerous trends in #Japan. Japan's sitting prime minister has gone so far as to publicly claim that a contingency in the #Taiwan Strait would constitute a "situation of existential crisis," allowing Japan to exercise the right of collective self-defense. This marks the first time in the 80 years since World War Two that a Japanese prime minister has publicly made such a reckless statement, directly challenging China's national sovereignty, the post-war international order in which Taiwan has been returned to China and the political commitments Japan made to China. China certainly cannot accept this – nor will the 1.4 billion Chinese people, Wang said. Since the meeting was being held in #Germany, Wang said, a comparison could be drawn between the post-war settlements of Japan and Europe. After the war, Germany conducted a thorough liquidation of #fascism and enacted laws prohibiting the promotion of #Nazism. In contrast, Japan continues to honor Class-A war criminals in its shrine, with Japanese politicians making frequent visits to pay homage to them as so-called "heroic souls." Such a phenomenon is unimaginable in Europe, and this is the root cause of all these issues. Wang emphasized that the Japanese leader's erroneous remarks on the Taiwan question expose Japan's lingering ambitions to invade and colonize Taiwan, as well as the unyielding spirit of reviving militarism. Japan previously used the so-called "situation of existential crisis" as a pretext to launch its invasion of China and the attack on #PearlHarbor in the #US. The lessons of history are not far off – and they must be heeded. If Japan refuses to repent, Wang said, it is bound to repeat its past mistakes, and peace-loving people must be on guard. The Japanese people must be reminded not to be blinded or coerced again by far-right forces and extremist ideologies, he added. All peace-loving countries must also issue a warning to Japan: if it seeks to turn back the clock of history, it will lead to self-destruction, Wang said. If Japan gambles again, it will only face a swifter defeat and a more disastrous loss, he warned. #高市早苗 #TakaichiSanae #Sanae #Takaichi #SanaeTakaichi #JapaneseMilitarism #Militarism

🇯🇵 Why Japan’s Decline Is Psychological, Not Just Economic Everyone talks about Japan’s economic stagnation — lost decades, shrinking influence, declining industries. But there’s a deeper layer almost nobody touches: Japan’s geopolitical identity crisis is inseparable from its hostility toward China. Not because China threatens Japan. But because China shattered the psychological structure Japan has lived inside for 80 years. 1. Japan once believed it understood how Asia should work. Modern Japan’s national mindset is built on one story: • The U.S. defeated us. • The U.S. rebuilt us. • The U.S. protects us. • The West accepts us as the “civilized Asian,” the honorary white nation. Japan internalized this hierarchy. And then it projected the same logic onto China. Japan slaughtered 35 million Chinese. Ran Unit 731. Used women as sexual slaves. But Tokyo always believed: “I am richer, I am more advanced, I have better reputation. So China should ‘move on’ the same way I moved on under U.S. rule.” Japan thought dominance creates obedience. Because that is how it behaved toward America. 2. When China was weak, Japan mistook silence for acceptance. For decades, China didn’t have the power to push back internationally. Japan interpreted this as: • “China accepted our narrative.” • “China doesn’t dare confront us.” • “The war is over — we won the moral argument.” This is absolutely not reconciliation; it is merely a power illusion. Japan became comfortable believing: “If China must bow to someone, it should bow to me, just like I bowed to America.” 3. Then China rose — and Japan’s entire worldview collapsed. China didn’t just grow. China overtook Japan in every pillar of national power: • GDP • Manufacturing • Technology • Diplomacy • Military • Global influence China now competes with the United States itself — the very empire Japan historically imitates. And this is where the psychological rupture begins: Japan cannot emotionally process a world where China stands on the same level as America. Because in Japan’s internal hierarchy: • America is the master. • Japan is the apprentice. • China is supposed to be below both. But suddenly… the “student of America” watches the “victim of Japan” surpass them both in power and prestige. For many Japanese nationalists, this feels like an existential insult: “How dare China rise to the level of my master? How dare China erase the hierarchy that defines me?” So the hatred intensifies. Not just political hatred — existential hatred. 4. And the irony? China never asked Japan to kneel. China only asked Japan to face history. But to Japan, acknowledging history means acknowledging loss of superiority. So instead, resentment grows. And Japan’s geopolitical relevance shrinks even faster. 5. Japan’s economic decline is inseparable from this psychological stagnation. - While China built entire industrial ecosystems, Japan clung to nostalgia and Western validation. - While China out-innovated, out-built, out-scaled, Japan obsessed over keeping China “in its place.” Japan’s decline is not just economic, it is a refusal to accept a world where it no longer defines Asia.

Great explanation of the China-Japan altercation by Chas Freeman, imho the wisest diplomat ever produced by the US (he's had many roles, including Asst. Secretary of Defense and famously the main interpreter for Nixon during his epochal 1972 China visit) He first describes in his speech the origin of the altercation as being "Japan's threat to extend its defense perimeter to include Taiwan." Afterwards he goes into a longer explanation in the Q&A in which he said: "Prime Minister Takaichi... answer[ed] a hypothetical question in the Diet by suggesting that Taiwan was now once again part of Japan for defense purposes. And this of course would embolden people in Taiwan to continue to pursue independence rather than reassociation with the rest of China, and therefore it is a strategic change of some significance." In effect, as he explains, it's unacceptable to China in several ways: 1) With regards to Japan's colonial history vis a vis Taiwan, it's especially provocative to now once more make Taiwan part of Japan's territory for defense purposes. 2) Because it emboldens independentist forces in Taiwan and therefore makes war MORE likely. This is Japan basically telling independentists: you can go ahead and declare independence, if war breaks out as a result we have your back. If you want an analogy, it's as if Macron announced officially that the French army would militarily defend Catalonia from Spain if it's seceded. 3) Last but not least, it fundamentally challenges the post-WWII settlement, on which the world order is based. As Freeman explains, Taiwan was recovered from Japan under the Cairo and Potsdam declarations - Allied war aims that the U.S. and China fought and bled for together. By re-extending its defense perimeter to Taiwan, Japan is effectively seeking to reverse the outcome of WWII.
