This text critically examines the historical narrative of the Pearl Harbor attack, questioning the authenticity of various photographic and video evidence. The author highlights inconsistencies and perceived fakery in footage, suggesting that images of the attack might have been staged or manipulated by both American and Japanese sources. Specific points of contention include the lack of visible Japanese aircraft and anti-air fire in some footage, the poor quality of other recordings, the tidy appearance of wreckage, discrepancies in ship placements, and the improbable survival of men trapped in sunken ships. The author also scrutinizes a Japanese propaganda film and photographs, arguing they were fabricated using models and added elements. The text delves into the story of Kazuo Sakamaki, a Japanese midget submarine pilot, whose captured submarine was used for war bond tours, further fueling suspicions of propaganda and manipulation. The author ultimately proposes that the Pearl Harbor attack might have been a controlled event, a “scripted fight,” to galvanize American public opinion and propel the United States into World War II, or even a scenario where the Navy sabotaged its own ships. The piece concludes by suggesting that the narrative of the attack, including eyewitness accounts, may have been manufactured by the U.S. military and Naval Intelligence.
