I'll have to post a few times as time permits. That is a brilliant article by bishop Williamson by the way.
But first things first: You wrote: "Here are Williamson's exact words:
And as we now in 2002 know with certainty that our governments and media told us far from the complete truth in 1941 as to who was truly responsible for the attack on Pearl Harbor..."
This is from the US Navy Historical Center's Website
..."The road to war between Japan and the United States began in the 1930s when differences over China drove the two nations apart. In 1931 Japan conquered Manchuria, which until then had been part of China. In 1937 Japan began a long and ultimately unsuccessful campaign to conquer the rest of China. In 1940, the Japanese government allied their country with Nazi Germany in the Axis Alliance, and, in the following year, occupied all of Indochina.
The United States, which had important political and economic interests in East Asia, was alarmed by these Japanese moves. THE U.S. INCREASED MILITARY AND FINANCIAL AID TO CHINA, EMBARKED ON A PROGRAM OF STRENGTHENING ITS MILITARY POWER IN THE PACIFIC, AND CUT OFF THE SHIPMENT OF OIL AND OTHER RAW MATERIALS TO JAPAN.
BECAUSE JAPAN WAS POOR IN NATURAL RESOURCES, ITS GOVERNMENT VIEWED THESE STEPS, ESPECIALLY THE EMBARGO ON OIL AS A THREAT TO THE NATION'S SURVIVAL. Japan's leaders responded by resolving to seize the resource-rich territories of Southeast Asia, even though that move would certainly result in war with the United States."

Here's the Congressional Declaration of War:
December 8, 1941
JOINT RESOLUTION Declaring that a state of war exists between the Imperial Government of Japan and the Government and the people of the United States and making provisions to prosecute the same.
Whereas the Imperial GOVERNMENT OF JAPAN HAS COMMITTED UNPROVOKED ACTS OF WAR AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT AND THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA: Therefore be it Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That the state of war between the United States and the Imperial Government of Japan which has thus been thrust upon the United States is hereby formally declared; and the President is hereby authorized and directed to employ the entire naval and military forces of the United States and the resources of the Government to carry on war against the Imperial Government of Japan; and, to bring the conflict to a successful termination, all of the resources of the country are hereby pledged by the Congress of the United States.
Approved, December 8, 1941, 4:10 p.m. E.S.T.
Anyone can plainly see the political selling points for Pearl Harbor were more hype than fact. This is the same as President Bush talking about the "hijacking of Islam" pure garbage. Nobody hijacked Islam. The militant are right in line with how they have been for 1200 years.
OK, thanks. Now we know.
It is, in fact, a rambling mish-mash of half-truths, half-baked conspiracy theories and utter nonsense interspersed with the occasional moment of lucidity.
The spiel which you posted has absolutely nothing to do with what Williamson is talking about. Not a thing.
He's talking about a government cover-up of the identity of those behind the attack-and those responsible for 9/11.
Who are the true perps?
The Jews and the Masons of course. Just as they were were for WWI and WWII.
Again, we've performed a service for the readers of this thread.
Thanks.
The take home message here folks, to get back to the original point of this thread (in case thor76 is still fretting), is that those who see conspiracy in religious life and in the work of the Pope and the Vatican, see conspiracy everywhere.
Conspiracy lovers can't isolate their need to believe in intrigue, plots and a nefarious unseen world of shadows and bogey men. It infects every area of their psyche and leads to an utterly disordered view of life and religion.
