As if there were still any remaining
doubts, the evidence that FDR not only knew about the Pearl Harbor attack ahead
of time, but actually connived at making it happen in order
to get the USA in the war against Germany is conclusive:
A Second World War Navy radioman turned journalist, Robert Stinnett was in
the National Archives in Belmont, California, researching a campaign-year
picture book on George Bush’s South Pacific wartime navy career in aerial
reconnaissance — George Bush: His World War II Years (Washington, D.C.,
Brassey’s, 1992) — and encountered unindexed duplicate copies of Pearl Harbor
radio intercept records of Japanese Navy code transmissions — documentary
evidence of what actually happened at Pearl Harbor and how it came about. After
eight years of further research and a prolonged case at law under the Freedom
of Information Act to obtain partial release of these materials, Stinson
published Day of Deceit (2000). A Japanese translation appeared within a
year, understandably.
Stinnett demonstrates, on the basis of extensive incontrovertible factual evidence and self-evidently accurate analysis that President Roosevelt oversaw the contrivance and deployment of a closely-guarded secret plan to goad the Japanese into attacking Pearl Harbor and monitor them while they did it. Stinnett hypothesizes that Roosevelt did this in order to precipitate an unwilling American public into supporting intervention in the Second World War, but whatever the motives or purposes, the facts are now abundantly clear. Stinnett establishes and proves his case with voluminous documentary evidence, including forty-seven pages of Appendices presenting photographic reproductions of key official records, as well as numerous others reproduced in the body of the text, and 65 pages of closely detailed reference notes. This evidence proves Stinnett’s factual assertions, arguments and conclusions. His research files and notes are deposited at the Hoover Institute library at Stanford. Day of Deceit is exemplary documentary historiography. It presents the material testimony on which its analysis and conclusions are based. Its validity will be clear to any fair-minded reader. Stinnett’s book settles and resolves rational, candid, honest, fact-based discussion and debate about the background of the attack on Pearl Harbor.
As Stinnett shows, the plan that eventuated in the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor was set in motion in early October 1940 based on an “eight-action memo, dated October 7, 1940 … by Lieutenant Commander Arthur H. McCollum, head of the Far East desk of the Office of Navy Intelligence.”

At
this point it should be abundantly clear to every historically aware individual
that absolutely no single incident should ever be regarded as a legitimate
justification for war by the American public, considering the way in which the
US government regularly engages in fraud and deception in order to manipulate
public opinion whenever it wants to go to war with a foreign state.
