. . . Japan sent us not Imperial Storm Troopers from STAR WARS, but IMPERIAL JAPANE$E DANCE(rs) in this 22.33-second short from Edison Manufacturing Company. Conspiracy theorists have long held that Japan signaled its intentions to attack U.S. for years if not decades prior to 12-7-41. They allege American president FDR was itching to fight Hitler to help out his golfing buddy Winston Churchill, but since Hitler was too smart to provoke America, FDR thought that allowing Hitler's pal Hirohito one "free shot" provocation would be the next best thing. I personally have read a Reader's Digest reprint from early 1941--months prior to the so-called "Day of Infamy"--which states that Hawaii and the Aleutian Islands in Alaska would be the first two parts of America Japan would attack (they were). Supposedly, the Japanese ambassador in Washington was giving all kinds of wink-wink, hint-hints to his American counterparts in the weeks leading up to the attack, but U.S. State Department operatives were ordered not to warn our military boys at their outposts. In light of all this, is it not logical to wonder if the war banners being waved around here during IMPERIAL JAPANE$E DANCE might have been the first warning of the oncoming storm?
