The Pearl Harbor Conspiracy
"December 7, 1941, a date which will live in infamy, the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan." On December 7, 1941 the Japanese bombed the United States Military Base Pearl Harbor located at Oahu, Hawaii. At 6 a.m. (Hawaiian time) on December 7,1941, the first Japanese attack fleet of 183 planes took off from aircraft carriers 230 miles north of Oahu. At 7:02 a.m., two Army operators at a radar station on Oahu's north shore picked up Japanese fighters approaching on radar. They contacted a junior officer who disregarded their sighting, thinking that it was B-17 bombers from the United States west coast. The first Japanese bomb was dropped at 7:55 a.m. on Wheeler Field, eight miles from Pearl Harbor.

One of these codes was the Purple Code; the top Japanese diplomatic machine cipher that used automatic telephone switches to separately and differently enciphers each character sent. War might have been inevitable but it was not inevitable for 2403 soldiers to die in vain. One purpose of the message was to mislead Hawaii into believing negotiations were continuing. JN stands for Japanese Navy, introduced June 1, 1939. (Infamy, Toland, 1982, ch 14 sec 5) The next day December 7, 1941, the day of the attack, President Roosevelt still could have warned Hawaii.
