My 11th grade history teacher taught our class that the US knew Pearl Harbor was going to be bombed because of a de-coding machine called "MAGIC." "They let it happen as an excuse to join the war," in order to get the country out of an economic slump, he told us! I never forgot that (the word 'magic' helped). It was only in later years I realized this was an 'against the grain' teaching! It was totally normalized to me to say that the US sacrificed lives, lied and re-told history. I already had a strong sense of that (from the more recent atrocities of the Vietnam "War") but it was certainly crystallized by this one teacher when I was 17! Hopefully lots more kids today have elders/teachers/caretakers alerting them about all these false flags, including 9/11, the Cvd narrative, etc! Thanks for the history lesson, Mickey!
Wow, Malika...thanks for sharing that. It's encouraging to hear of a teacher who promoted something outside of the narrative. And yes, as you state, once you start questioning accepted myths, they all become fair game!
The teacher did not even couch the lesson in “most people don’t know or agree with this...” -he just stated it & wrote key points on the chalkboard. An everyday history lesson: ‘This matters & it’s important you know it.’ So valuable! And yep, one myth unraveled leads to more loose strings to pull on!🧶👀

That was one exceptional teacher.
Of a type that likely no longer exists within the indoctrination camp systems of today.
Truly exceptional! Hopefully some do exist, and more are coming into prominence these days!
Excellent history lesson. Thanks.
