Admiral Yamamoto was credited with planning the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941.

The Admiral was killed in an ambush in the South Pacific in 1943. The Roosevelt Reich Navy had broken the Japanese naval code long before Pearl Harbor and knew EVERY move that the Admiral and the Japanese Navy were making.

"One of the most important Japanese Catholics in this period was Admiral Yamamoto who was the first convert to Catholicism in 1893 at the French Marianists' School in Japan. He had traveled widely, especially in Europe. In early 1938 Yamamoto had told friends in Rome that conflict between Japan and the United States was inevitable because of the clash of races and of commercial interests; that Japan was preparing for war; and when the first blow would be struck. it would be a terrific one."(Quigley, Peace without Hiroshima, p. 75).

In the Spring of 1941, Hitler was ready to invade the Soviet Union with the largest invasion force in the history of the world. This invasion force was supplied with oil by the Rockefeller owned Standard Oil Co., and trucks by the Ford Motor Co.

While Hitler attacked from the West, Japan was supposed to attack Russia from the East.

The Japanese were afraid to attack Russia because they had a very healthy respect for the Red Army after the Russians annihilated a Japanese army in Manchuria in August 1939. Hitler never sent observers to that battle because he had nothing but disdain for the fighting ability of the Red Army.

Japan established diplomatic relations with Vatican city in 1942. The first ambassador's name was Ken Harada:

"Among the inhabitants of Vatican City at that time were the members of the small Japanese Mission to the Holy See. When the Holy See and Japan entered upon a form of diplomatic relations in 1942 the war was already three years old in Europe and Pearl Harbor had already been attacked. Negotiations between Vatican representatives and the Japanese Government looking to the establishment of relations had been carried on sporadically for a couple of decades. War conditions, however, had convinced the Japanese of the need of representation at the famed "listening post." (Quigley, Peace without Hiroshima, p. 7).

Amaterasu

The sun goddess Amaterasu. The Emperor was considered a direct descendant of this sun goddess. Japan is unique because the false mother goddess was always associated with the MOON.

"The standing U.S. demand for "unconditional surrender" directly threatened not only the person of the Emperor but such central tenets of Japanese culture as well. Because of the Emperor's unique political and religious status, U.S. leaders were repeatedly advised of three related but quite distinct points:

First, a surrender would likely be accepted only if the Japanese people were assured the Emperor-God would neither be removed from his throne nor harmed (or tried and possibly hanged as a war criminal, as German leaders were about to be tried).

Second, even more important, U.S. leaders were advised that if such assurances were not given, the Japanese would likely fight to the last man. Very few Japanese units had surrendered in the bloody island fighting, and there was ample evidence that the Japanese soldier was prepared to die for the Emperor. The U.S. military understood that if no assurances for the Emperor were given—whether called "conditions" or not—it would almost certainly mean a struggle to the death.

Third, the president and his chief advisers were counseled that the Emperor would play a critical role in maintaining internal order in postwar Japan-and, indeed, in helping head off the possibility of chaos or even Communist-inspired revolutionary attempts.9The "unconditional" language had originally been adopted almost accidentally by Roosevelt at the January 1943 Casablanca conference. Cordell Hull recalled that it had not, in fact, originally been part of State Department strategy: "We were as much surprised as Mr. Churchill when, for the first time, the President, in the Prime Minister's presence, stated it suddenly to a press conference."

The formula proved to be controversial not only because of its uncompromising tone but also, ironically, because of its ambiguity. At Casablanca, Roosevelt seemingly qualified his position at the same time he defined it when he stated that "unconditional surrender" did not mean the destruction of the peoples of Germany, Japan, and Italy; rather, it meant the destruction of the "philosophy" which had brought about world war. Given the importance of religious ideas in their political culture, of course, this was equally threatening to Japanese leaders.
Roosevelt further complicated matters when in an address to White House press correspondents on February 12, 1943, he affirmed the policy in a way which now seemed to threaten the Emperor's person:

The only terms on which we shall deal ... are the terms proclaimed at Casablanca: "unconditional surrender." In our uncompromising policy we mean no harm to the common people of the Axis nations. But we do mean to impose punishment and retribution in full upon their guilty, barbaric leaders."

The original announcement of the surrender demand had jolted not only Japan but many knowledgeable American policy-makers. Japanese propaganda had moved quickly to rally support for the war by predicting Japan's complete and absolute destruction under "unconditional surrender." Numerous officials in Washington understood the difficulties the formula presented, and several actively began to search for ways to modify and soften its impact.
