Here Don Graves says that the Japanese were lied to about the war and that may be true (I'll take his word for it) but I couldn't help but wonder, looking back on what we know now of the Military Industrial Complex, if perhaps the US was also lied to about Pearl Harbour Bombing as it is suspected that US Govt knew it was coming and perhaps did nothing deliberately to draw the US into war. Also, I believe the US deprived Japan of Oil prior to the invasion and hence maybe set the whole thing up.

By US Govt here I really mean Deep State actors which would have come to power slowly over WW1 and WW2 especially (Whitney Webb writes about this extensively).

What I do know is that America, and by extension the Western World in the globalized 20th Century, is one of the most propagandised societies ever via media.

From a psychological point of view it interests me how politics mirrors human psychology but on a wider scale. The human mind, as I see it, plots and schemes in a similar way on an individual level as it does on the societal one also. As above so below as the Alchemists used to say.
