This article, “Pacific Theatre” by Lestrade, argues that the official narratives of World War 2 events, particularly in the Pacific theater, are largely fabricated or heavily spun. The author questions the logical consistency of key events, starting with the notion that nuclear weapons are psychological tools rather than real weapons, and that Iwo Jima was a fictional battle invented to justify US Marine Corps funding.
The article then delves into the Aleutian campaign, suggesting it was a series of lies. The author scrutinizes the Pearl Harbor attack, questioning Japan’s motivations for bombing rather than capturing Oahu, and their need for US resources despite controlling parts of China. The Aleutian campaign itself, particularly the raid on Dutch Harbor and the invasion of Kiska and Attu, is presented as implausible. The author highlights perceived inconsistencies in historical accounts, such as unlikely troop movements, questionable photographic evidence, and the supposed ease of Japanese operations despite adverse weather conditions that supposedly hindered American efforts.
A significant portion of the article is dedicated to the “Fugu Plan,” which suggests a secret alliance between Imperial Japan and the Jewish community, aiming to establish a Jewish settlement in Manchuria and Shanghai. This is presented as a “colonisation program” orchestrated by Phoenicians using Japan as a proxy.
The author further criticizes the Battle of Attu and the American recapture of Kiska, again citing inconsistencies in photographic evidence, casualty figures, and the logistical feasibility of the described events. The article concludes by questioning the validity of the entire Pacific campaign narrative and draws parallels to contemporary events, suggesting that the war in Ukraine is also a staged production by military intelligence and Hollywood for financial gain and power consolidation. The author also touches on economic theories, suggesting that current global wealth is a mirage based on worthless debt and that the wealthy are manipulating markets through mechanisms like crypto-currency and housing speculation.
