Yesterday, December 7, 1941 — a date which will live in infamy — the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan.

The United States was at peace with that nation, and, at the solicitation of Japan, was still in conversation with its government and its Emperor looking toward the maintenance of peace in the Pacific.

Indeed, one hour after Japanese air squadrons had commenced bombing in the American island of Oahu, the Japanese Ambassador to the United States and his colleague delivered to our Secretary of State a formal reply to a recent American message. And, while this reply stated that it seemed useless to continue the existing diplomatic negotiations, it contained no threat or hint of war or of armed attack.

It will be recorded that the distance of Hawaii from Japan makes it obvious that the attack was deliberately planned many days or even weeks ago. During the intervening time the Japanese Government has deliberately sought to deceive the United States by false statements and expressions of hope for continued peace.

The attack yesterday on the Hawaiian Islands has caused severe damage to American naval and military forces. I regret to tell you that very many American lives have been lost. In addition, American ships have been reported torpedoed on the high seas between San Francisco and Honolulu.

Yesterday the Japanese Government also launched an attack against Malaya.

Last night Japanese forces attacked Hong Kong.

Last night Japanese forces attacked Guam.

Last night Japanese forces attacked the Philippine Islands.

Last night the Japanese attacked Wake Island.

And this morning the Japanese attacked Midway Island.

Japan has therefore undertaken a surprise offensive extending throughout the Pacific area. The facts of yesterday and today speak for themselves. The people of the United States have already formed their opinions and well understand the implications to the very life and safety of our nation.

As Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy I have directed that all measures be taken for our defense, that always will our whole nation remember the character of the onslaught against us.

No matter how long it may take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, the American people, in their righteous might, will win through to absolute victory.

I believe that I interpret the will of the Congress and of the people when I assert that we will not only defend ourselves to the uttermost but will make it very certain that this form of treachery shall never again endanger us.

Hostilities exist. There is no blinking at the fact that our people, our territory and our interests are in grave danger.

With confidence in our armed forces, with the unbounding determination of our people, we will gain the inevitable triumph, so help us God.

I ask that the Congress declare that since the unprovoked and dastardly attack by Japan on Sunday, December 7, 1941, a state of war has existed between the United States and the Japanese Empire.

There were many nations involved in this event. The key one was Britain. While they do mention an Australian warning of ship movement, they remain silent. Commander Malcolm Burnett of the RN was a British code breaker with the Far East Combined Bureau based in Hong Kong. Another captured bit of territory where prisoners were eliminated. He predicted the December 7th date. The Japanese flashed a message, "At 0000 on 21 November carry out second phase of preparations for opening hostilities." There is no way Hong Kong should have missed it. The FECB station in Ceylon was ordered to destroy all records. The Japanese didn't add another bit to their cipher until December 4th.

The Dutch had a code breaking section in Bandoeng. It was called Kamer 14. They were co-operating fully with the British and may have been the source of the Australian warning. They too were successfully attacked by the Japanese and all their records were destroyed. The Dutch were well aware of the Japanese fleet concentration of the strike force off Hokkaido. From Dutch military archives, "from analysis of Japanese radio traffic, it was possible to conclude from the last week of November 1941, that there were large fleet concentrations near the Kuriles." Captain Henning.

There were gaps in the serial numbers on cover letters 'C' sent to the Prime Minister on November 25th. Whereas German, Italian and Spanish fleet movements were on Churchill's desk, the Japanese material is missing never being released. This is another crucial piece of logic. If what the debunkers are saying is true, why cannot the archives be released? The answer is obvious.
