There presently exists, however, mountains of evidence indicating that President Roosevelt and his inner circle had provoked the Japanese attack, knew of the attack well in advance, and did nothing to stop it or protect the Pacific fleet. Besides provoking Japan, Roosevelt was secretly aiding Britain in it's war against Nazi Germany, and was engaging in actions, both in the Atlantic and Pacific, that were war-like by any customary understanding of international law. Roosevelt spoke of stopping totalitarianism and aggression, yet, he formed an alliance with the Communist Stalin. Rather than fighting totalitarianism, he chose to fight one totatalitarian regime, Nazi Germany, while forming an alliance with another totalitarian regime, Communist Russia.

As a result of this secretive pact, the Communist Russians would gobble up, in addition to Eastern Poland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Bessarabia, and part of Finland. The valiant Finns were able to repulse the Communist blitzkrieg while winning the admiration of the world. He even refused to allow the St. Louis, a ship of fleeing Jewish refugees, from landing in the US and he called the President of Cuba, who wanted to grant asylum to the Jews, urging him not to allow the ship to dock in Cuba. The ship was forced to return to the clutches of Hitler and his gas chambers.
