The U.S. Constitution failed to provide for independent investigation
and prosecution of government perpetrators of wrongdoing. The chief
"law enforcement officer", the Attorney General, was appointed by the
President and normally had close political ties to the same partisan
interests, who could ignore serious allegations against people in
government.
A prominent case of alleged government deception, with no Attorney
General probe at the time, arose in 1941. Officials in Washington, D.C.
were accused by two highly placed military leaders of withholding
information that could possibly have at least reduced the death and
destruction in the Japanese attack on U.S. military facilities in
Hawai`i.
Admiral Husband E. Kimmel, who was the commander at Pearl Harbor,
learned that information known in Washington prior to the assault, was
not given to him until long after, and he suggested a conspiracy behind it;
"To utilize the Pacific Fleet and the
Army forces of Pearl Harbor as a
lure for a Japanese attack without
advising the Commander in Chief
of the fleet and the commander of
the Army base of Hawai`i is something
I am wholly unable to comprehend."
The attack was the primary reason given by then-President Franklin
Roosevelt for the U.S. to also engage in World War II in Europe.
Admiral William F. Halsey, who was in command of an aircraft carrier
group returning at the time to Pearl Harbor from Wake Island, supported
Kimmel in a personal letter;
"I have always felt that you were left
holding the bag for something you
did not know and could not control...
had we been in possession of the
'magic` messages...the fleet would
not have been in Pearl Harbor on that
date."
The messages referred to were Japanese code transmissions which had
been intercepted, showing that the Japanese military was being continually
informed of U.S. warships in the harbor, and that the Japanese were particularly
interested in the date of Sunday, December 7th, which was planned as the day
of the attack.
More than 3,500 individuals were killed in the attack, but the alleged
deception by government officials was never investigated for its legal
implications by the Attorney General, or brought into a court of justice
where guilt or innocence could be determined. Families of the deceased
were powerless for recourse.
With an AUTHENTIC CONSTITUTION in harmony with the natural
Cosmic Laws of the universe, and producing High Moral Values and
Democratic Ideals, the U.S. Attorney General is elected, and removed,
by a vote of the people at-large, with power to investigate and prosecute
all alleged federal law violators inside as well as outside government.
