15. “Documents released from the decoded Venona Files, from the Soviet KGB archives, from our own National Archives, and memoirs of Soviet officials now confirm what noted anti-communist writers, Congressional investigations, Communist Party defectors, and FBI documents had stated for decades:
Harry Dexter White (shown), assistant secretary of the treasury in the administration of Franklin Delano Roosevelt,
was a top Soviet spy and agent of influence who not only caused incalculable harm to the United States, but also materially assisted Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin’s spreading of terror and tyranny throughout the entire world.
…doing everything within his power to
scuttle the peace efforts of the forces within the Japanese government that were striving to avoid war with the United States. White authored an ultimatum adopted as official policy by FDR that upped the ante of
belligerent acts Roosevelt was directing at Japan.
White’s plan was calculated to inflame public opinion in Japan …. aimed at guaranteeing the rise to power of Japan’s political forces that were beating the drums for war. This is precisely — and predictably — what happened.
…as a result of White’s fierce lobbying, FDR “authorized [Secretary of State] Hull to present the Japanese with what became known as the Ten-Point Note. Hull summoned Nomura and Kurusu on November 26 to deliver the austere ultimatum, incorporating White’s demands on China, without concessions.
However, White did not undertake this move on his own initiative, it is important to note, but as a directive of the NKVD (an earlier name for the Soviet KGB). His Kremlin bosses were most anxious for assurance that Japan would not attack the Soviet Union; they thus expended great efforts through their spy and propaganda networks in Japan, Europe, and the United States to ensure that Japan would strike America, rather than the U.S.S.R.
The Soviets had, according to Karpov,
used White to provoke Japan to attack the United States. The scheme even had a name, “Operation Snow,” snow referring to White.”
The Communist Agent Who Caused Pearl Harbor — and Global Economic Havoc
Well known is Harry Truman’s response to criticism: “The buck stops here!”
And so does the obligation of the President to defend and protect America and Americans.
By embracing Stalin, and
allowing communist spies free rein and the ability to form American policy, Franklin Delano Roosevelt committed treason.
His presidency was a misplaced trust.
