WORLD WAR II: THE MYTH OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY We have all heard the stories about World War II. How the Germans invaded Poland. How the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. How the "Allied forces" landed in Normandy. How the US exploded an "atomic bomb." One might think that World War II is as factual as possible. Didn't thousands fight in the war and millions die? Wasn't the war documented in newspaper and radio reports of the day? Hasn't there been copious amounts of literature written about this "War to End All Wars?" Recent evidence, however, shows a much different story. Most reputable historians now discount the myth of World War Two, but this information is not getting out to the public. PEARL HARBOR For most Americans, World War II really started with the supposed Japanese "bombing" of Pearl Harbor. However, noted professor Dr. Ploktin Qwerty, an expert of Japanese aviation, has written extensively on the capabilities of 1940's vintage Japanese Zero bombers. "They couldn't reach Tokyo from Osaka, let alone Hawaii!" he wrote in his 1984 article for the Journal of Historical Fact. "Given their wingspans, method of propulsion and payload, the only way they could have reached any U.S. territories is as submarines![1]" FIRST-HAND ACCOUNTS Serious historians now agree that the supposed "first-hand accounts" of soldiers who are alleged to have actually fought against the German and Japanese forces are notoriously inaccurate. In one celebrated instance, one soldier claimed to have heard three bombs in ten seconds, and another soldier *in his same unit* claimed to hear only two! [2] University of Chattanooga Professor Ernest W. Wykol has gone back and examined the barracks where American soldiers stayed in Europe. He found such items as pin-up calendars, paperback books and pinochle decks.[3] Hardly what one would expect soldiers fighting for freedom and democracy would be occupying themselves with. In fact, evidence is mounting that American "soldiers" actually spent their entire stay in Europe and the Pacific *playing cards*. As noted historian Odioun Flatcher has discovered, card playing was extremely popular in the forties, to the point of entire newspaper columns devoted to the subject! [4] THE TRAGIC ACCIDENT As Flatcher has reconstructed events, the British, French, US and Germans all sent thousands of "soldiers" to play cards at various sites in Europe. In one tournament in Lyons, a tragic explosion occurred at a nearby fireworks factory, killing and injuring hundreds of players. THESE WERE THE ONLY CASUALTIES OF "WORLD WAR II." The media showed the injured and dead soldiers in photographs many, many times to give the impression of a "war" with continuous casualties. That this is a myth can be seen clearly; Flatcher documented one case where the New York Times showed a picture of an injured soldier on a Tuesday and the Philadelphia Bulletin showed the exact same picture on a Thursday. THE KAMIKAZE LIE It was certainly in the evil media's interest to make the war up, and to make the "enemies" as ruthless and evil as possible. One notorious example is the lie that Japanese aviators were actually encouraged to destroy their valuable aircraft (and themselves) by crashing them into the sides of US ships. Dr. Rubert Faurr, a French professor of basket-weaving, has quoted no less an authority than General Douglas MacArthur on his reaction when he heard the first rumor about these supposed suicide missions. "That's ridiculous!" MacArthur exclaimed. Honest Japanese people will also admit how absurd this claim is. The word "kamikaze" actually means "he who herds the sheep" in certain Japanese dialects, according to Japan expert Mort Clondyke.[5] And Atoyot Adnoh, currently Japanese minister of history in the Diet, has stated publically that "that whole episode was really crazy." [6] THE MYTHMAKERS As more of these inconsistencies get exposed, it truly becomes more difficult to believe what we have learned in history books (from companies with names like Simon and Shuster.) It is outside the scope of this article to speculate on who could have started and perpetuated the major myth of this century, but one only has to look at the preposterous battle cry as the Japanese are said to have flown over to attack the most powerful nation on the planet: "Tora[h], Tora[h], Tora[h]!" It isn't difficult to come up with the answers. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [1] "Give Me a Laser Printer and I Can Publish Anything," Adolph Publishers, Frenzy, MD, 1973.
