[QUOTE="scooby0048, post: 4706318, member: 50693"] I read about history quite a bit. Pearl being one I have read many things, and viewed many films of, and remember coming across this story that has many markings of a conspiracy theory but remains a mystery none the less. If I remember correctly, In November 1941, there was a strange ad in the New York Times or New Yorker. The person who made the ad never gave a name and paid with cash. The ad was like a cartoon or picture ad, where people were playing a game and the caption of the ad was along the lines of a warning or alert of some kind. The people were playing some kind of game in a bomb shelter or during an air raid. The people in the ad had rolled the dice and they rolled a 12 and 7. (today's date). One of the images had bomber planes flying towards targets. Also, IIRC, the OSS or some foreign military intel service investigated but could not prove anything and the investigation went cold. So, was the ad some type of warning for the impending attack on Pearl or just a strange coincidence? Some people think (including those in the intel community) thought that the ad was made by Japanese spies or sympathizers to their cause. As it would later turn out, they found the person who made the ads and this person claimed that they were not Japanese sympathizers and they had made the ad simply to promote a game called, "The Deadly Double". Someone had actually found the ad in one of the printed magazines and it contained images of bomb shelters, bombing planes, searchlights, explosions, and other war images. [/QUOTE]
