The Soon Coming Judgment Of God Upon America and How To Escape It 286
an attack on Pearl Harbor in January of 1941. In August of 1941, Congressman Martin Dies,
Chairman of the House Committee on Un-American Activities, reviewed Japanese attack plans
for Pearl Harbor. These plans had been obtained by Army Intelligence and sent to Washington
DC. In October of 1941 president Roosevelt was warned of an impending attack on Pearl Harbor
by both the Russian government and through a British double agent that had received
information regarding the attack through Germany. The Russian warning said the attack was to
occur within 60-days.

In August of 1940 the US was able to break the Japanese secret codes. These codes were
the diplomatic and naval codes. De-coding machines were designed, manufactured and shipped
to US military installations, excluding, of course, Pearl Harbor. With the code broken the US
was able to both monitor Japanese naval positions and orders. Through intercepted and decoded
messages, American intelligence was able to discover plans regarding the attack of Pearl Harbor.
It can be surmised that Pearl Harbor never received a decoder because Roosevelt intended to
conceal the impending attack from them.
On November 25, 1941, Roosevelt informed the US Secretary of War, Henry Stimson
that Japan was likely to attack the US as soon as “next Monday.” Specifically, he writes the
following in his diary: “President Roosevelt brought up the event that we are likely to be
attacked perhaps (as soon as) next Monday, for the Japanese are notorious for making an attack
without warning, and the question was how we should maneuver them into the position of firing
the first shot.”

Roosevelt was most likely relying on 83 separate Japanese naval messages that had been
intercepted between November 17th and 25th. These messages came from Japan’s Admiral
Yamamoto’s carrier fleet, which was advancing on Pearl Harbor. On the very day that Roosevelt
advised Stimson, the following message had been intercepted: “...the task force, keeping its
movements strictly secret and maintaining close guard against submarines and aircraft, shall
advance into Hawaiian waters, and upon the very opening of hostilities shall attack the main
force of the United States fleet in Hawaii and deal it a mortal blow.”

On November 26, 1941 Winston Churchill, Prime Minister of Great Britain, called
Roosevelt and informed him that the Japanese would attack Pearl Harbor on December 8th,
Japanese time, which would be December 7th in the US.

In 1995, a study completed by the Department of Defense confirms that the US had prior
knowledge of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. The written report concluded: “Army and
Navy officials in Washington were privy to intercepted Japanese diplomatic communications...
which provided crucial confirmation of the imminence of war.”

Germany Offers To Surrender
In the Spring of 1943 there was a German offer to surrender. This offer came through
Admiral Wilhelm Canaris, head of the German Secret Service. Canaris met with George Earle,
the American Naval Attache in Istanbul, Turkey. Admiral Canaris was part of a plot with other
German leaders to assassinate Adolph Hitler. He said that when Hitler was dead they would take
over the government and surrender to the Allies. The Germans had only one condition: “There
must be no Soviet advance into Central Europe.”
