Lionel peels back the curtain on Pearl Harbor, which the official narrative treats like sacred scripture. He explore the inconsistencies, intelligence gaps, and strange decisions that defy the history book cartoon. Discover how decrypted Japanese diplomatic traffic through "Magic" hinted at war, yet no real warning was sent ("selective blindness"). Lionel examine the economic trap (the oil embargo as provocation) and the suspicious positioning of the fleet, where battleships served as "emotional bait" while aircraft carriers were protected. Pearl Harbor is not a closed case; it's a template and a reminder that nations often make decisions in secret while telling the public something else.
