USS Arizona: December 7, 1941
As I read the few posts reminding us of what December 7, 1941 was I am struck by a few things. One is that on Dec. 7, 1941 we knew it was the Japanese who were bombing our men. I am one of those who do not believe it was a *sneak* attack but one that was well known by the White House.
I do not believe it was Al Quida (sp?) that was behind the Sept. 11, 2001 attack in New York City. I believe, after reading many reports and opinions, that it was another of the ENEMY WITHIN operations to keep the American people in a state of FEAR of others and to make sure they do not investigate the real enemy that resides within this OCCUPATION FORCE that controls what we call our American government.
I do not believe that any other nation on this earth had or has the ability to destroy America. This had and has to be accomplished by the ENEMY WITHIN. That Trojan Horse filled with weapons of more than MASS destruction. The OCCUPATION FORCE IN WDC and State capitols.
Deception at every turn, control of the media to ensure the people are fed just enough daily to keep them on edge, unable to clearly think. Fill them with sleazy *news* of entertainers and their lives. Create an economy that forces both parents to work so that the children are placed in the care of others, thus breaking that family bond. Pump up inflation to devalue the dollar and increase the price of goods. Create diseases and chemical medications to further blur the minds of those who would otherwise resist this chicanery. Use the military as guinea pigs for medical experiments and other technological weapons (EMP). Keep repeating that it is Patriotic to invade another land and kill the people who live there under the pretense that they hate us and want to kill us, and that you are protecting America by doing so. Give tax exemptions to the religious community so that the government can control what is preached from the pulpits. Set up a government agency to APPROVE foods and drugs so that the poisons can be granted the appearances of being SAFE when the fact is they are killing those who consume them. Set up a *Homeland Security Agency* to ensure that the borders of America are held wide open for foreign operatives to enter while Americans are sexually molested at airports, train and bus depots, as well as other locations, under the PRETENSE of it being for their SAFETY. Place a foreign ILLEGAL in the White House and then prosecute those who refuse to comply with orders (LTC LAKIN) from that fraud Obama. Silence one way or another all questions related to the eligibility of Obama to even be in America much less sit as the president.
How many LIES do people have to be fed before they begin to PUKE it all up and go after the ones forcing this vomit down our throats? How many Waco’s? How Many Ruby Ridges? How many other Occupation Force attacks on Legal, law abiding Americans do you have to stand by and watch before you rise up and fight back? Most get far more angry over not getting cell phone bars than they do over their neighbors being attacked under the color of unconstitutional laws. That is America Today. A big difference from the America of Dec. 7, 1941.

Thank you Granny! It is tragic that our society has become so dumbed down that they don’t even understand the history of their own country, or their Civic responsibility to the same. Tragic, indeed! hb

Thanks Jeff,
On this date, I always read from my U.S.S. Tennessee Cruise Book written December 7, 1941 through December 7, 1945. The Tennesse under command of Captain C.E. Reordan was one of eight battleships which participated in the battle against Japanese zeros. The battleships California, Maryland, Tennesse, Arizona and Nevada were all moored in sigle file at Ford Island in the middle of Peral Harbor.At 7:55 a.m.wave after wave of attacking war planes dropped bombs on the fleet. At or about 8:00 a.m. the U.S.S. Arizona astern from the Tennessee exploded after a bomb dropped down her funnel igniting the forward magazine storage.Over a thousand ships’s crew were killed including Rear Admiral Issac Kidd and Captain Franklin Valenburg.
For the next forty minutes the Tennessee was the center of a whirlwind of bombs and bullets. The zeros opened up with machine guns in low flying attacks. The ships gun crews fought with gallantry and in a most tenacious and determined manner. Volleys from the Tennessee’s anti=aircraft batteries did not provide an easy prey for Japanese airmen. Four ships crewmen were killed, 36 wounded in the attack. Two bombs hit the Tennessee. In the war that followed, the battleship shot down 16 enemy planes and sank 8 Japanese naval vessels in the battle of Surigao Straits.
One of the ship’s company crewman was Howard Slagle, MM1C. Sergant Major Roger M. Emmons, U.S. Marine detachment was one of many heros on the Tennesse who provided the eye witness narrative at Pearl Harbor and the sinking of the Arizona.
God bless our veterans, past and present. Our greatest generation made this nation by blood, sweat and sacrifice few can comprehend today. I’m very proud of all our troops who served from WW II, Korea, Viet Nam, to the Gulf. Semper Fi.
Thanks for the comments. My dad was also on Tennessee, gunners mate turret three. He wrote that all five of his turret crew were killed when a bomb’s burster charge exploded on top of the turret. Other survivors informed me that another man on turret two Tennessee was also killed by a similar bomb hit there, the same bomb that mortally wounded West Virginia Captain Bennion. The Arizona Memorial recognizes 5 killed on Tennessee, but I suspect there were six.
Also the lethal bomb hit on Arizona appeared to some to have gone down the stack, but actually it broke thourgh the foredeck and ignited powder that exploded her forward magazine.
Thanks.
