American public against involvement
Franklin D. Roosevelt -
Campaign Address at Boston, Massachusetts (October 30, 1940)
I have said this before, but I shall say it again and again: your boys are not going to be sent into any foreign wars.

Many Americans opposed involving the United States in another war.
Many Americans opposed involving the United States in another war.
Public opinion was clearly against U.S. entry into war. Most people preferred
isolationism.
The quote from Roosevelt dates from 1940 and was directed at the american people. It was a
big lie as we'll see later on.
Roosevelt used it to get support of the people for the presidential election in 1940. He ran for a third term. Typical.

How U.S. Economic Warfare Provoked Japan's Attack on Pearl Harbor
The U.S. navy conducted "shoot [Germans] on sight" convoys - convoys that might include British ships — in the North Atlantic along the greater part the shipping route from the United States to Great Britain, even though German U-boats had orders to refrain (and did refrain) from initiating attacks on U.S. shipping. The United States and Great Britain entered into arrangements to pool intelligence, combine weapons development, test military equipment jointly, and undertake other forms of war-related cooperation...

The Office of the Historian - Lend-Lease and Military Aid to the Allies in the Early Years of World War II
Roosevelt’s primary motivation was not altruism or disinterested generosity. Rather, Lend-Lease was designed to serve America’s interest in defeating Nazi Germany without entering the war until the American military and public was prepared to fight.
Roosevelt’s primary motivation was not altruism or disinterested generosity. Rather, Lend-Lease was designed to serve America’s interest in defeating Nazi Germany without entering the war until the American military and public was prepared to fight.
In a radio speech, typified by the slogan "Arsenal of Democracy",
Roosevelt promised to help the United Kingdom fight Nazi Germany by giving them military supplies while the
United States stayed out of the actual fighting.
Under the Lend-Lease policy the United States supplied
Great Britain and other Allied nations with food,
oil, and materiel between 1941 and August 1945.
During the Battle of the Atlantic the United States aided British forces.
In general supplying weapons to belligerents and aiding them is an act of
war. Roosevelt was already waging
war on Germany.

Though President Roosevelt wanted to provide assistance to the British, both American law and public fears that the United States would be drawn into the conflict blocked his plans. President Roosevelt had to develop an initiative that was consistent with the legal prohibition against the granting of credit, satisfactory to military leadership, and acceptable to an American public that generally resisted involving the United States in the European conflict.

Menzies' 1941 Diary: Menzies on People
Roosevelt is a little jealous of Winston’s place in the centre of the picture. I tell him they should have a meeting. R. is not an organiser—very like Winston—and co-ordination of effort is not conspicuous. Hull is loquacious but very sound and clear-minded about the war—much clearer than many of the officers of his department. He and all the leading ministers, are for war and nothing less. But the President, trained under Woodrow Wilson in the last war, waits for an incident, which would in one blow get the USA into war.

Did FDR Provoke Pearl Harbor?
Edited by historian George Nash, Freedom Betrayed: Herbert Hoover's History of the Second World War and Its Aftermath is a searing indictment of FDR and the men around him as politicians who lied prodigiously about their desire to keep America out of war, even as they took one deliberate step after another to take us into war.

Japan provoked into war
Wikipedia - McCollum memo
The memo outlined the general situation of several nations in World War II and recommended an eight-part course of action for the United States to take in regard to the Japanese Empire in the South Pacific, suggesting the United States provoke Japan into committing an "overt act of war".

How U.S. Economic Warfare Provoked Japan's Attack on Pearl Harbor
The U.S. government also provided military and other supplies and assistance, including warplanes and pilots, to the Chinese, who were at war with Japan. The U.S. military actively engaged in planning with the British, the British Commonwealth countries, and the Dutch East Indies for future combined combat operations against Japan. Most important, the U.S. government engaged in a series of increasingly stringent economic warfare measures that pushed the Japanese into a predicament that U.S. authorities well understood would probably provoke them to attack U.S. territories and forces in the Pacific region in a quest to secure essential raw materials that the Americans, British, and Dutch (government in exile) had embargoed.

Letter to FDR (June 23, 1941)
There might develop from the embargoing of oil to Japan such a situation as would make it not only possible but easy to get into this war in an effective way. And if we should thus indirectly be brought in, we would avoid the criticism that we had gone in as an ally of communistic Russia.

Richmond K. Turner -
to Harold Rainsford Stark, the Chief of Naval Operations (July 19, 1941)
It is generally believed that shutting off the American supply petroleum will lead promptly to an invasion of the Netherlands East Indies... it seems certain that, if Japan should then take military measures against the British and Dutch, she would also include military action against the Philippines, which would immediately involve us in a Pacific war.

How U.S. Economic Warfare Provoked Japan's Attack on Pearl Harbor
Expecting to lose a war with the United States—and lose it disastrously—Japan's leaders had tried with growing desperation to negotiate. On this point, most historians have long agreed. Meanwhile, evidence has come out that Roosevelt and Hull persistently refused to negotiate.

Surprise attack expected
Wikipedia - Joseph Grew (Ambassador to Japan)
On January 27, 1941, Grew secretly cabled the United States with information gathered from Ricardo Rivera Schreiber, Peruvian Minister to Japan, that "Japan military forces planned a surprise mass attack at Pearl Harbor in case of 'trouble' with the United States", information that was declassified twelve years later.

Pearl Harbor: Hawaii Was Surprised; FDR Was Not
Comprehensive research has shown not only that Washington knew in advance of the attack, but that it deliberately withheld its foreknowledge from our commanders in Hawaii in the hope that the "surprise" attack would catapult the U.S. into World War II. Oliver Lyttleton, British Minister of Production, stated in 1944: "Japan was provoked into attacking America at Pearl Harbor. It is a travesty of history to say that America was forced into the war."

There were even some newspapers which warned for a coming attack on Pearl Harbor. Like for example
The Honolulu Advertiser. And
The Hawaii Herald Tribune.
Foreknowledge of the attack shows that the attack on Pearl Harbor was a false flag. Beyond any doubt.
But the power elite achieved their goal...
United States enters war
Jacques R. Pauwels -
The Myth of the Good War: America in the Second World War
The United States was not the disinterested champion of democracy in the face of dictatorship: its role in the war was determined, rather, by the interests of its corporations and of its social, economic and political elites.

The British and American power elite wanted
the United States to enter the war. The events leading to American entry into
World War II were systematically
falsified by the Anglo-American
power elite in order to conceal the truth of their plans.
