He also played a key role in bringing Stalin’s gothic horror show to the heart of Europe. Ask the people of eastern Europe how they feel about FDR. He is the most over-rated president in U.S. history.

For the purpose of historical truth, it’s vital that “revisionist” historians have their say. That applies, in spades, to Saint Franklin of Roosevelt. Today, a warm-and-fuzzy aura surrounds Saint Franklin. He’s thought of as the guy who “got us out of the Depression,” the guy who led us to victory in WW2, blah blah blah.

Bullshit.

Saint Franklin was an unmitigated bungler. His dictatorial interference in the economy perpetuated the Depression. (In 1938, unemployment was higher than when he took office in 1933. Also, there was a recession on top of the existing depression. Go figure.) Saint Franklin and his bright boys sure had it figured out, now, didn’t they?!

Saint Franklin wanted to get America involved in Europe’s war. To that end, he pursued a hostile, insulting foreign policy toward Japan and Germany, hoping that it would lead to some “overt act” against us. It did–at Pearl Harbor.
(During the 1944 campaign, Dewey or Clare Booth Luce said that Roosevelt “lied us into the war he didn’t want to lead us into.” Well said.)

I wonder if the NSA will now reply to this memo printed here.

Very unlikely. What they usually do (along with most other government agencies involved in defense or intelligence operations) is issue a memorandum internally that warns their employees that this controversy has made press and cautions them “not to confirm or deny anything related to NSA policy or work pertaining to this issue”, or something to that effect. They certainly aren’t about to confirm a truth that casts the intelligence community in a dubious light.

I believe the answer to the latter question is, in a word, “denial.” Joe and Jane Sixpack have been indoctrinated practically since birth with the attitude best summed up by the phrase “my country, right or wrong.” Also, the realization over time that almost every civic ideal that his been ingrained into them since childhood is nothing but a pack of cynical lies is simply too painful to face. Most would rather take the ostrich approach and continue to exist within the system than reorder their lives and confront the beast that is the State. For this reason they continue to blindly follow the leader(s) as a herd and thus swallow the intellectual vomitus of the Establishment’s court historians.

Perhaps better questions might be who did more harm to their country and the world at large, and why do the American sheeple remain so incurably gullible?

Smart of Anthony Gregory to ask Robert Stinett for his response to the NSA debunking. I wonder if the NSA will now reply to this memo printed here. Thanks so much.

State exonerates self. Case closed. Nothing new under the sun.

FDR KNEW about the attack on Pearl harbor. Indeed he welcomed it. Note how all the aircraft carriers were conveniently gone during the attack and only some old battleships were there.
