THIS DAY IN HISTORY – FDR orders “enemy aliens” to register – 1942

Via History.com

On January 14, 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt issues Presidential Proclamation No. 2537, requiring non-U.S. citizens from World War II-enemy countries—Italy, Germany and Japan—to register with the United States Department of Justice. Registered persons were then issued a Certificate of Identification for Aliens of Enemy Nationality. A follow-up to the Alien Registration Act of 1940, Proclamation No. 2537 facilitated the beginning of full-scale internment of Japanese Americans the following month.

While most Americans expected the U.S. to enter the war, presumably in Europe or the Philippines, the nation was shocked to hear of Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. In the wake of the bombing, the West Coast appeared particularly vulnerable to another Japanese military offensive. A large population of Japanese Americans inhabited the western states and American military analysts feared some would conduct acts of sabotage on west-coast defense and agricultural industries.

Official relations between the governments of Japan and the United States had soured in the 1930s when Japan began its military conquest of Chinese territory. China, weakened by a civil war between nationalists and communists, represented an important strategic relationship for both the U.S. and Japan. Japan desperately needed China’s raw materials in order to continue its program of modernization. The U.S. needed a democratic Chinese government to counter both Japanese military expansion in the Pacific and the spread of communism in Asia. Liberal Japanese resented American anti-Japanese policies, particularly in California, where exclusionary laws were passed to prevent Japanese Americans from competing with U.S. citizens in the agricultural industry. In spite of these tensions, a 1941 federal report requested by Roosevelt indicated that more than 90 percent of Japanese Americans were considered loyal citizens. Nevertheless, under increasing pressure from agricultural associations, military advisors and influential California politicians, Roosevelt agreed to begin the necessary steps for possible internment of the Japanese American population.

Ostensibly issued in the interest of national security, Proclamation No. 2537 permitted the arrest, detention and internment of those who violated restricted areas, such as ports, water treatment plants or even areas prone to brush fires, for the duration of the war. A month later, a reluctant but resigned Roosevelt signed the War Department’s blanket Executive Order 9066, which authorized the physical removal of all Japanese Americans into internment camps.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt FDR My Exploited Father In Law ( 1970)
by Dall, Curtis B.

https://archive.org/details/DallCurtisB.FranklinDelanoRooseveltFDRMyExploitedFatherInLaw1970

Who told FDR that a “Pearl Harbor” was necessary? Did he fall for the one-world-despot theory? Was that
where he was supposed to come in for Glory?
Accordingly, is it very hard for me to take in what occurred then? No, it is more than that. It is just
impossible!…

Up to 1932, the Franklin Roosevelt family appeared like any normal, prominent, American family. After
1932, however, “power” stepped in, applied by the ruthless emissaries of money-power. Then, the chemistry
gradually changed in FDR, it seemed, from formula A to formula B.
At that time, FDR’s personality had not changed perceptibly, but it soon seemed to me as though new
traits were appearing, in lieu of the old familiar ones. My aforesaid feelings for him gradually tapered off after
Granny died. In beholding the new personality of FDR, including some also manifested by his wife, I began
to acquire a feeling of aloofness and reserve, even sorrow. It was not unmixed with deep concern also, and a
growing feeling that all was not sound and healthy in the White House—hence, the country was faced with
danger.
Quoting again: “It would seem that man, panoplied with power, is incorrigible. He mouths his pretension
of virtue and compassion, and a credulous world listens and even believes; but with a change of time and
company and mood, his natural recidivism cuts loose” (italics mine).
This feeling of mine did not develop over night, but was a gradual one, largely caused by the following: A
forced accent on internationalism in our foreign policy, kow-towing to Uncle Joe Stalin, while covertly
building him up, largely at the expense of Christianity and U. S. tax-paying citizens—the duly organized
extensive political machine assembled in Washington by Felix Frankfurter, acting as the Prime Minister in
the Court of Baruchistan—gold juggling and the U. S. money plates deal of Henry Morgenthau, Jr., and Harry
Dexter White, acting “under orders”—the build up of the revolutionary-tinged N.A.A.C.P., cleverly designed
to distort racial issues to create civil discord, resulting in occasional violence
among segments of our citizens—the deception employed in the health of FDR, finally, Pearl Harbor.
Those occurrences stemming from above and about the White House were most difficult for me to
comprehend

Admiral Kimmel said that he thought the reason for his receiving such a flood of mail since Pearl Harbor
Day, 1966, was that so many Americans have become aware of the extensive deception employed at the time
of Pearl Harbor and they feel we are still being fed the same deceptive diet, still being victimized by
One-Worlders, carefully placed in high government circles.
Suddenly, I said, “Admiral, why was your predecessor, Admiral Richardson, removed from his Command? ”
Quick as a flash came his answer: “He wanted the Fleet based on our West Coast. In fact, he went to
Washington, called on Stark [Admiral Stark, Chief of Naval Operations] and pled with him and others there
for such a move, in view of tensions beginning to shape up in the Far East. Richardson thought and stated
that Pearl Harbor was difficult to defend with the available forces and equipment there; 360 degrees of ocean to
look after, hard to keep the fleet adequately fueled, vulnerable to submarine attack, inadequate anti-aircraft guns
supplied to the Army, all of which was quite true. Failing to make any headway with Admiral Stark, he
decided to go and see the President. With him, he likewise pled for the Fleet in the Pacific to assume a safer
and more strategic posture. Roosevelt gave him a deaf ear, would not listen! Finally, Richardson banged hard
on the table with his fist, stating he had presented his recommendations to high authority, and left, returning
to Hawaii.
“Soon, he was relieved of his Command and I found myself succeeding him. At once, I conferred with
Richardson, told him I had nothing whatsoever to do with the matter in Washington, and told him that I
agreed with his recommendations which were overruled.”

Continuing, the Admiral said, “Colonel Dall, interestingly enough, or perhaps significantly enough, I had
not been long in that Command when an order came through from Washington for me to transfer several
capital ships and some auxiliaries, including oilers, for duty in other areas, which reduced my strength about
20%. Then, several months later, in June of 1941, as I recall it, I was ordered to detach and transfer more
capital ships. Becoming most disturbed by this time, I went to Washington and protested that order coming
from Admiral Stark. I did manage to have the order somewhat modified by him, but I was further
weakened—something which puzzled me no end.”

I remarked, “Admiral, on that June trip, did you try to see FDR?”
“Yes”, was the reply, “I tried, but Roosevelt did not wish to see me.”
At my indicated look of surprise, the Admiral continued, “To cap it all, in the late Fall of 1941, not very
long before the attack occurred, the Navy Department in Washington ordered my three carriers detached,
sending one to Wake, one to Midway and one back to home waters. So, on December 7, 1941, my fleet was
deprived of carrier air strength. General Short had about 12 Army reconnaissance planes, of which only six
were in operational condition for extended reconnaissance over water!”
The Admiral then arose and walked slowly about the room to stretch his legs, and continued his startling
remarks.
“Colonel Dall, this may further surprise you, but I found out later that the Japanese Task Force approaching
Pearl Harbor, had specific orders that if the American Forces at Pearl Harbor became alerted, before the attack
was launched, their Task Force was to return, at once, to Japanese waters, without attacking! Hence, to me
this explained why much vitally important information contained in the decoded and translated Japanese cables
received in Washington was deliberately withheld from the U. S. Commanders at Hawaii, lest the Japs alter
their plans to attack under the favorable conditions duly created for them by Washington.”
Here, the Admiral quoted from a secret dispatch sent from Tokyo to the Japanese Embassy in Washington,
D. C. on December 1, 1941 … “to prevent the United States from becoming unduly suspicious, we have been
advising the press and others that though there are some wide differences between Japan and the United States,
the negotiations are continuing. (The above is for only your information.)”

“I never received this information”, said Admiral Kimmel, adding, “Early on Saturday afternoon, December
6, 1941, a pilot message from Tokyo to their Washington Embassy was intercepted and decoded, indicating
that a very important fourteen point message was then on its way to their Ambassador in Washington.
“By three o’clock that afternoon, December 6, 1941, thirteen of the fourteen points had been received,
decoded by us and translated. Distribution was promptly made to the most important officers of government
by midnight.
“When the thirteen points were delivered to the President in the White House about 9:00 P.M. (3:30 in the
afternoon of Saturday in Hawaii), he remarked, ‘This means war.”‘
Why was a radio message, via the excellent facilities of the Navy, to Admiral Kimmel and General
Short—alerting them to their imminent danger, not promptly dispatched by the Commander-in-Chief of our
Armed Forces, or by Admiral Stark, acting under his direction? That question is what hurts so badly to
contemplate! Why?

Every single war the USA has been involved in (including the Revolution) was orchestrated by bankers. America has never fought a “noble war” if such a thing even exists. I love my people, but my country has always been a fraud. What happened to the Articles of Confederation?

You can say the same for the rest of the world. Show me a country that isn’t run by the NWO bankers, and it’s been that way for a long time.
A random dream I had in 2014. Australia will be run by a communistic like puppet government. When I thought about this and researched. Yes. Most if not all Governments are puppet. Very sad, but our reality. But individually, we can all seek and find our own happiness. We are not going to get it from our government, no matter where you are.

It was the FDR administration that was the greatest threat to America….not Japanese Americans.
