I don't believe Churchill was the main person responsible and I think Tarpley is wrong about this.
US code-breakers had broken the Japanese Purple codes - and many others besides - and knew what was happening. They knew the Japanese fleet was sailing to Pearl Harbour. All sorts of intercepted naval traffic from Japanese "oilers" to warships demonstrated this. The US elite and Roosevelt wanted to enter the war by that point - hence the sudden disappearance of the main US aircraft carriers shortly before the attack took place. It seems evident that this was a calculated risk on the part of the US.
The agreement Churchill and Roosevelt hammered out was that the US would enter the European war first and then switch their attention to the Japanese later.
Personally, I would point the finger at the CFR War & Peace Studies group and their still confidential study recommendations.
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
