Thread Name: Further thoughts on Pearl Harbour
Subject: RE: Further thoughts on Pearl Harbour
Kendall: We are on separate wavelengths. My quetion was, do you actually subscribe to the belief which you attribute to Andrew Jackson and Abraham Lincoln, among others, that "international bankers," are "evil," by which you seemed to mean that said bankers start all the wars International bankers, and their purported tendency to start all the wars, are the villians in one of the standard conspiracy theories. But I don't see what that has to do with Jackson's denouncing the Bank of the United States, which by definition was not an "international" bank.
Large banking families like the Rothschilds did finance wars in the eighteenth century; but this was pretty much obsolete by 1870 or so.

Fionn: You said I was crazy to suggest that Hitler and the Japanese were "partners." So I pointed out that they had a formal alliance, and that Hitler followed Japan into the war. And your response is that Hitler often broke his word. True enough, he did, although it must hurt you to admit it. But its also irrelevant to the point, which is that Hitler was Japan's ally, and its partner, so that what I said was correct.
