The Bones of Station H

One week before the attack on Pearl Harbor, a US Navy listening post on the other side of Oahu intercepted Admiral Yamamoto's message to the AJapanese fleet to sail to Hawaii. Today, the remains of that radio station can still be seen.

But on the post "Saddaam's nooks" age, we know the government and media lie to us about some very important things. The burden of proof is on them now. We no longer need to prove the government it lying, they must prove they tell the truth.

The only thing I can add is from my own personal observation - that intelligence pumps out 100s if not thousands of reports. Some are right, some are wrong, some are ignored, some are acted on. It's easy to look back in history and point to the damning piece of action of a government that failed to act on a particular report just as it is easy to point to the faults of a government that acted on failed intelligence.

That's why the Aircraft carriers were 200 mi south of Hawaii on 7 Dec 41. The Japs only succeeded in sinking old relics. But sadly, innocent soldiers & sailors paid the price for being the sacrificial lambs.

"Attack Was Expected" NY Times in its 12/8/41 Headline on Pearl Harbor "Ever​ything that the Japanese were planning to do was Known to the United States." -ARMY BOARD, 1944 "We knew well in advance that the Japanese were going to attack. It was a lie that we didn't have direct radio communication​ with DC." -Lt. Col. Clifford Andrew "I have believed that our best entrance into the war would be by way of Japan." -Oct 18 -entry by Sec of Interior Harold Ickes

This is not some wacko conspiracy theory; it's a historical fact that the Japanese were deliberately goaded into attacking U.S. forces and that their plans were known to the president and his inner circle. As WRhappened mentions above, Robert Stinnet, in his book "Day of Deceit: The Truth About FDR and Pearl Harbor", documents these facts very thoroughly.

I've got a VHS series from Time-Warner I think, where the episode on Code-breaking​ mentioned the same thing a recent History Channel program from BBC mentioned that it was the British/Austr​alians who first broke the codes back in 1939. The question both programs asked was why Singapore Station personnel knew where and when the attacks were going yet both London and Washington claimed ignorance. Supposedly these same Brits helped the Americans with Japanese codes since 39 so it is curious.

This is from actual 1941 US Navy documents originally stored at the Documents Storage Vault in Crane, Indiana, declassified in 1993, moved to the Steny Hoyer Research Center at the University of Maryland's Archives II, and finally released to the American Public via FOIA in January 1995. Howeve​r, starting in 1999, the NSA has been filing over two doxen Withdrawal Notices, making hundreds of pages of these documents unavailable.

On November 15 (EST), 1941, General George Marshall then called all the Major News Agencies together back in Washington DC, swore them to secrecy, and revealed the US had cracked and were now able to read Japan's JN25(b) Coded Radio Messages.

Robert Stinnet, author of "Day of Deceit: The Truth About FDR and Pearl Harbor", says "Miss Aggie", the US Navy's Senior Civilian Cryptanalyst,​ had cracked JN25 way back in June, 1939, and the folks at Station-CAST over at Corrigedor in the Philippines, reported to Washington DC on November 16, 1941, that they had cracked JN25(b) and were regularly intercepting and decoding JN25(b) IJN Radio Traffic.

It was not until early 1943 that "Code Book D Random Number Table Seven" (Kaigun Ango-sho D, Ransuhyo nana), aka: "Five Number Code" (US Navy designation),​ began being referred to as "JN25(b)" by the Americans ("b" because it was the second variant of JN25, which had first come out and been cracked in April, 1939, by "Miss Aggie", the US Navy's brilliant Senior Civilian Cryptanalyst,​ but all three designators referred to one and the same thing.

Station CAST (on Corregidor) Commanding Officer, Lt. Cdr John Lietwiler, reported to Washington DC his staff was "current in intercepting,​ decoding and translating" Japan's Operations Code as of November 16, 1941, Manila time. On the same day (November 15, 1941 EST) in Washington DC, General Marshall revealed the US had broken the Japanese Codes. Japan​'s Naval Operations Code was known as Code Book D Random Number Table Seven in the Fall of 1941. The US Navy called it "Five Number Code".
I just watched the ...   (wargamer102)16.8.2008
I just watched the Time Life Video "Secrets of WWII":Target Okinawa & it says that the British had broken more of the IJN naval codes than us, actually knew on Dec 2nd that the Kure fleet was going to hit Pearl Harbor. It says London was notified & it also says our Naval Intel knew before the attack too, but it claims that neither Churchill nor FDR knew. 1 may be a coincidence, but both? It does say the USN made a cover-up afterwards, but that doesn't make sense us(USN) setting ourselves up.

There was a documentary on a PBS channel last month on code-breaking​ in general. Pearl was just part of the program, but it did say that there is evidence that FDR did know within a 6 day period when Pearl would be attacked. I believe it was a Detroit PBS station but the credits all looked valid, no individual authoris or conspiracy nuts, all archives and congress library this and freedom of information that recently. Wish I'd copied it. Damn 100 channels to surf lol.

If you visit Hawaii today, be sure to also stop at the DOLE PINEAPPLE Visitor's Center in WAHIAWA (as well as Heiia Park too), get your free cup of Hawaiian Pineapple Juice, and look off across pineapple fields to the US NAVY HFDF Intercept Station still there today. It is "The ELEPHANT CAGE" (so named because that is what it looks like.. it's that big!!), a huge circular curtain HFDF Wullenweber Antenna Array (GTE Sylvania in Mt. View, CA, was Prime Contractor) for Radio Direction Finding.

US NAVY Captain Thomas H. Dyer (1902-1985) was assigned to Station HYPO (Hawaii) in July, 1936, and in 1938, branched out from HYPO to form the CIU (Communicatio​ns Intelligence Unit) in Pearl Harbor, with both intercept and direction-fin​ding stations at Heiia and Wahiawa. Sta​tion H (aka: Station HYPO) was just one of many DF (Direction Finder) HF (High Frequency) Radio Intercept stations the US NAVY owned and operated in the Pacific Ocean Region with the IMPERIAL JAPANESE EMPIRE as target.

War102 is correct. I've taught history 25 years & been in military. The Tripartite Pact was never activated. Japan never signed any document or treaty title 'Axis'. That's our propaganda to hide the fact America wasn't willing to take on the Nazis like Britain at the time. I've been sceptical of this stuff myself for decades, however after some research & BBC is quite reputable, I concede most of this is probably true. BBC would've been sued like over Iraq if anything they filmed was untrue.
