Early Deep State Efforts Using Soviet Manufactured Propaganda to Falsely Mislead the United States into War

by Charles Burris

Examination of the “Tanaka Memorial”, a document as vacuous as FDR’s fake Nazi take over of South America maps.

Burris says:

The two theories are not mutually exclusive, as the Chinese Communist Party was a member of the Comintern under control of the Soviet Union, and Soviet policy from the 1930s was to wage a propaganda war against Japanese expansionism.

However one should remember that the kuomintang, the so-called Republicans, were under the thumb of the Soviets too.

An otherwise temperate review, Burris though mentions Iris Chang’s glib thoughts on Japan:

Iris Chang adds that the Japanese government at that time was so faction-ridden that it would have been impossible to carry out such a plan in any case.

Chang had a touch of mental instability no more so, perhaps, than others who have gushed over the “Tanaka Memorial” and other wartime controversies as evidence of Japanese perfidity.
