Wow, incredible story. Why did they tell him on that day to shut off the radar early. That points to The white house knowing.

Stop it. Some people are so ignorant they love all the conspiracy theories. You should be better than that.

It was Sunday morning. They weren't supposed to be on duty, and there was no one on duty to whom to report it.

I know, that's no way to run a war. But the NATO air defense radars used to shut down on the weekends, too. Maybe they still do.

There is almost nothing to be gained by hiding the attack. Whether Pearl Harbor was prepared for the attack or not, whether it was successful or not, it was still an act of war.

Pear harbor was warned to the point where it was just so much crying "Wolf".

Short of continually being at general quarters, what are you going to do with warnings? You have patrol flights, and patrol outside the harbor, both of which were being done. But there was such a general laxness that all the warning signs were just ignored.
