"Every man on this ship knows that we have radar and visual contact with the Japanese fleet approaching pearl harbor on December 6, 1941. Now what do we do about it?' 'Skipper, what we do about it is blow them out of the water.' 'The USS Nimitz declares war on the Japanese Empire? That's what we'd be doing. But they haven't attacked pearl harbor yet. The only evidence we have that they intend to is in the history books.' 'It opens up some amazing possibilities. Think of the fire power of the USS Nimitz back in 1941.' 'What kind of possibilities, Mr Lasky?" - Michael Lockwood, The Labyrinth of Time: Introducing the Universe (Get the book.)

"Pearl Harbor. Still, had America wanted to stay out of it, she could have done so. pearl harbor was attacked because the U.S. Navy posed a threat to Japanese imperial ambitions. If the United States had not displayed imperial ambitions of her own and had no satellite state in the Philippines, she would have presented no danger to the Japanese imperial forces. Nor was there any particular reason to go to war against Germany. Though allied to Japan, there was no question of Germany intervening in the Pacific War." - William Bonner, Addison Wiggin, Empire of Debt: The Rise of an Epic Financial Crisis (Get the book.)

"Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, arms production became a 24/7 affair. By 1941 the government budget for chemical gas production reached $ 34 million. By the war's end it would be more than $ 1 billion. The facility in Alabama produced millions of gas grenades, bombs, shells, and tons of chlorine and mustard gas, much of which was shipped to Britain. Morgenstern provided medical care to the arsenal workers in Building 117. Most were young men and women from the surrounding farms, some still teenagers." - Devra Davis, The Secret History of the War on Cancer (Get the book.) "Hueper published a sweeping synthesis of industrial, pharmaceutical and natural sources of cancer—at an especially inauspicious time, right after the Japanese attack on pearl harbor in 1941.6The war against those things that cause cancer has always been hampered whenever nations have traded metaphorical wars for real ones. If some scientists had figured out nearly a century ago that the world around us affects the chance that we will develop cancer, why have we made so little headway in controlling these causes?" - Devra Davis, The Secret History of the War on Cancer (Get the book.)

"One plant was operating when Japan bombed Pearl Harbor; ten were operating by the time Berlin fell. After the wat, governments around the world sought and fosteted markets for ammonia from suddenly obsolete munitions factories. Fertilizet use in the TVA region shot up rapidly thanks to abundant supplies of cheap nitrates. American fertilizet production exploded in the 1950s when new natural gas feedstock plants in Texas, Louisiana, and Oklahoma wete connected to pipelines to carry liquid ammonia north to the corn belt." - David R. Montgomery, Dirt: The Erosion of Civilizations (Get the book.)

"A National Disgrace Leads to Releases From Mental Hospitals When the postwar public became aware of the conditions found in mental hospitals, families became less inclined to commit family members with mental disorders.

"In a remarkable case of bad timing, he published his magnum opus just weeks after the Japanese attacked pearl harbor. His book—a massive tome covering laboratory and public health studies of workplace hazards in several countries, entitled Occupational Tumors and Allied Diseases—brought together epidemiologic and experimental studies from four continents over more than a century to assert that workplace factors were important and controllable causes of cancer and other illness." - Devra Davis, The Secret History of the War on Cancer (Get the book.)

"But they haven't attacked pearl harbor yet. The only evidence we have that they intend to is in the history books.' 'It opens up some amazing possibilities. Think of the fire power of the USS Nimitz back in 1941.' 'What kind of possibilities, Mr Lasky?' 'Possibilities for the future, Mr Owens. Think of the history of the next forty years.' 'I have a suspicion that history will be a little more difficult to beat than you imagine, Mr Lasky.' 'I'm talking about the classic paradox in time travel." - Michael Lockwood, The Labyrinth of Time: Introducing the Universe (Get the book.)

"After pearl harbor, Nimitz became commander of the U.S. Pacific fleet and eventually the supreme Allied commander for the Pacific.

"Two months after pearl harbor, Dollfus reported net profits to Ford for 1941 of fifty-eight million francs. And then he said: Since the state of war between the U.S.A. and Germany, I am not able to correspond with you very easily. I have asked Lesto to go to Vichy and mail this.... We are continuing our production as before.... The financial results for the year are very satisfactory...We have formed our African company... .3 There are no records of Edsel Ford's return communications with Dollfus after pearl harbor, if indeed there were any.

"Cocaine abuse came to a fairly abrupt end in the United States after pearl harbor in December 1941. For the first time in U.S. history, there were effective wartime regulations and practices that gave the authorities very real controls over the import of cocaine and other unwanted drugs such as marijuana and opium.

"After the pearl harbor attack, anti-Japanese hysteria spread in the government. One Congressman said: "I'm for catching every Japanese in America, Alaska and Hawaii now and putting them in concentration camps. . . . Damn them! Let's get rid of them!" Franklin D. Roosevelt did not share this frenzy, but he calmly signed Executive Order 9066, in February 1942, giving the army the power, without warrants or indictments or hearings, to arrest every Japanese-American on the West Coast?" - Howard Zinn, A People's History of the United States: 1492 to Present (Get the book.) "What brought the United States fully into the war was the Japanese attack on the American naval base at pearl harbor, Hawaii, on December 7, 1941. Surely it was not the humane concern for Japan's bombing of civilians that led to Roosevelt's outraged call for war—Japan's attack on China in 1937, her bombing of civilians at Nanking, had not provoked the United States to war. It was the Japanese attack on a link in the American Pacific Empire that did it. So long as Japan remained a well-behaved member of that imperial club of Great Powers who—in keeping with the Open Door Policy?" - Howard Zinn, A People's History of the United States: 1492 to Present (Get the book.)

He was like the physician who must tell the patient lies for the patient's own good . . . because the masses are notoriously shortsighted and generally cannot see danger until it is at their throats..... One of the judges in the Tokyo War Crimes Trial after World War II, Radhabinod Pal, dissented from the general verdicts against Japanese officials and argued that the United States had clearly provoked the war with Japan and expected Japan to act." - Howard Zinn, A People's History of the United States: 1492 to Present (Get the book.)
