20th Century Conspiraicies (5): JFK - That Confusing Conspiracy

Sorry for the last weekend. I had my own prom, so there was no way I could write something down on that day. I was too excited. Anyways, today is about John F. Kennedy

WHAT IS THIS?

The Kennedy's assassin, Oswald - or someone pretending to be Oswald or someone idenfified as Oswald, went to the Cuban and Soviet embassies in Mexico City in the summer of 1963, just a few months before the Kennedy assassination.

He reportly met with Soviet intellegence agents and tried to obtain a visak back to the Soviet Union. Why? There are a number of theoires. Perhaps Oswald was delused by Marxist ideals, or he was working for an intelligence angecy(KGB).

In any case, Oswald's voice was recorded in Mexico City and Winston Scott, the chief of the CIA;s Mexico City station, saved one of the recording in his home even after he retired. The CIA did not admit that sucha recording existed until 1976.

What happened after that?

In fact, the CIA lied that the recordings were all destroyed before the assassination before 1976. However, the Warren Committee showed its unwillingness to offend the CIA for being worried that more confusion would be created.

So who killed JFK? The CIA? KGB? The Mafia, who hated Kennedy because of his tough policies on gang violence? The military? wealthy right-wing extremists? or were they all somehow in league? There is even an evidence for any of the above. And all. Who knows?

There is another theory, recorded by Fonzi, a self-proclaimed CIA assassin who one night, with only close friends present, went into a boozy diatribe against Kennedy for sacrificing his CIA- trained comrades at the Bay of Pigs. "He added:" Fonzi wrote, "'Well , we took care of that son of a bitch , didn't we?'"

20th Century Conspiracies (4) : The War against Japan in WWII

Long time no see! Sorry about the last week. I mean, my dad accidently screwed up my computer, so I needed to reformet the whole disk.... Anyways, today, I will talk about Pearl Harbour!
Yes, today is about the Pearl Harbour conspiracy.

What is this?
On the evening of December 6, 1941. The U.S. president F.D.Roosevelt recieved a message intercepted by the U.S. Navy sent from Tokyo to the Japanese embassy in Washington. The message was obvious since Japan, under the heavy pressure of the US oil sanction, was preparing to terminate the relation with the US. Roosevelt read the message and said, "This means war." Then, he did a very strange thing for a president in his situation.

HE DID NOTHING!

At the dawn the next morning, a Japanese squardron bombed Pearl Harbor and the surprise sttack was just that, a complete surprise. At least, 4,575 American serviceman died.

After that?
There were eight ivestigatios of Pearl Harbor altogether. The most interesting one was a joint-House-Senate probe that reiterated the Roberts Commission findings. At those hearings, General George C. Marshall and Admirals Harold R.Stark testified taht they could not remember where they were night the war declaration came in. But, a close friend of Frank Knox, the secretary of the Navy, later revealed that Know, Stark, and Marshall spent most of that night in the White House with Roosevelt awating the bombing of Pearl Harbor and the chance for American to join World War II.

Why?
Historians had concluded long before Pearl Harbor that war against the Axis power aws a necessity. However, the American public disagreed. A strike against American territory would surely bring the public around.
