New American Prophet ^ | December 7, 2023 | Dr. Jerry Newcombe

Posted on 12/07/2023 4:36:07 AM PST by Rev M. Bresciani

This surprise attack by some 350 Japanese planes in the wee hours of that fateful Sunday morning killed about 2,400 Americans. It was the worst attack on American soil by an enemy, until 9/11.

The attack on Pearl Harbor was done by a hostile nation’s military force of overwhelming superiority which resulted in a declaration of war. This event entered us into WWII. The war was fought to a successful conclusion less than 5 years later. The WWII vets came home to heroes welcome.

The 9/11 attack on the Twin Towers and elsewhere was done by terrorists and was an act of terror, not war. This led to the invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq. The Iraq invasion was based on non-existent WMD’s which eventually led to the destabilization of that area. The Afghan war lasted 20 years with a sorry shameful withdrawal. The sandbox vets just came home to later realize all was for nothing other than some elites and politicians getting rich.

These two events should not be compared in the same light. To do so is pure propaganda to get the sheep to believe both Iraq and Afghan wars were justifiable. Niether were.

Hussein had poisoned his own people using gas. (Cleanup by US Army found artillery shells with “binary” gas).

Yellowcake was airfreighted to Canada for processing.

That wasn’t really the point of this post. The story of Fuchida and DeShazer is an amazing testimony. It is another example of how God works.

This is a truly amazing story I had not heard before. May God be praised that this happened.

I had also heard some different stories about what was really going on in Iraq by someone who apparently was there. For my own part, I have some doubts about what was really happening there. Two sides to every story, I guess. Maybe some day, we will find out the whole truth about that war in Iraq.

Tragically, we were unprepared for what happened at Pearl Harbor—contrary to George Washington’s well-known maxim of peace through strength. But out of the evil and the ashes of Pearl Harbor has come this reminder of how God’s amazing grace is greater than all man’s evil.
Another well-known maxim proven as a consequence of a combination of both that war's outcome and that of the 'cold war':

"Absolute power corrupts absolutely."

Apparently the mods believe you should be protected as a gw adherent and promoter of the wmd fallacy.

Fine. /s Still calling you out for promotion of a lie.

“Still calling you out for promotion of a lie.”

Mods may remember reading those “lies” from here at FR.

(Uncontested “lies” at the time, BTW).
