http://rationalrevolution.net/war/mccollum.htm Point 9. Roosevelt began to put all 8 actions into affect only a day after reading the memo, which were all eventually achieved.

As for Roosevelts conversation with Stimson, it's very hard to find his complete diary. If you can, the convo is in Reel 7 Volume 36. You can search if you want, but it's been verified.
"We imposed sanctions on Japan and froze their assets for invading Manchuria" - and Manchuria is in which country? If what you said is the case, that goes to show even further the US were blatantly letting Japan know who's side they were on. The fact that the US made public loans to nationalist China is pretty telling too.
"The warnings of a Japanese attack were percolated in Washington. NO one believed them." - lol, it wasn't a matter of people believing the warnings or not. They were fully aware of what was coming, it was just a case of what action they would take.
"In the days leading up to it some military officials were grossly negligent in their assessment of intel...Lots of high ranking officials were let go Their negligence" - Not true. Roosevelt ordered the transfer of their fleet on the west coast to the more exposed Hawaii, to the ongoing complaints of the positions inadequate protection from air and torpedo attack by the fleets commander Admiral Richardson. In fact, he felt so strongly about it that he disobeyed his orders to harbour his fleet there twice and brought his concerns to Roosevelt personally. He was soon removed from his position, and his successor brought up the same issues a few months later. This was only one of many cases. These high ranking officials weren't let go due to negligence of intel of a possible incoming attack, they were let go because they were starting to realize what Roosevelt seemingly had in mind.
"You act like their attack was justified for freezing their assets" - Nope, just saying there's only so much blatant provocation a country can take, especially at a tense time like that. Yes conflict had been brewing, but it was virtually all verbal. America took their relations to another level.
"It wasn't a god damn conspiracy" - You're absolutely right.
"America was lot looking for a way into war we didn't go to war in Europe for long after Pearl Harbor and it was still controversial then and that was the only war that Roosevelt had a public backlash and risk of entering" - You didn't go to Europe for a while after the attack because Hitler hadn't declared war on you yet, which was basically Roosevelts main objective. Yes Congress and the public were fiercely against entering into conflict over there prior to the attack, but they sure as hell weren't after it. This was a well executed and a pretty convincing act of false flag terrorism
"The Japanese empire was down right evil." - lolz. Believe it or not, the Japanese weren't actually these sub-humans who needed to be exterminated like amurica made them out to be. They were just a very militaristic nation, which scared the west. You of all countries have no right to be calling anyone evil, by the way.
I'll happily fill out these convenient holes you talk about if you point them out to me. And does my "motive" still not make sense to you? Can you seriously not decipher what ive been trying to get at, even after mentioning it in my original post?...
