    Just discovered your show and I love it. I too am a conspiracy theory skeptic.

    Homer is Homer, and Pluto is a Planet. — Larry Miller

    In other words, why all the rearranging of deck chairs when there is real work to do?

    — Shakespeare didn’t write Shakespeare? Damn!
    — Lincoln was gay? Damn!
    — Thomas Jefferson fathered slaves? You don’t say?
    — FDR caused Pearl Harbor? Well, OK, I credit that one. LOL

    I am a major fan of Occam’s Razor, in the following formulation — the simplest answer that fits all the significant facts is most likely to be true.

    And the corollary — if less than 80% of the significant facts are in, you are still looking for the simplest answer.

    And the countercorollary — if all the known facts outweigh the assumptions by n:0, refer to the former but not the latter.

    For instance, take the FDR Pearl Harbor “conspiracy” —

    Fact 1: FDR was a duplicitous autocrat
    Fact 2: The chances of aircraft carriers crossing the North Atlantic, in the electronic age, undetected are infinitesimal
    Fact 3: FDR was the guy who, at Yalta, made a secret deal with Stalin, forsaking millions of Eastern Europeans for the creation of the UN

    So what significant facts are we still awaiting? In my view the only conspiracy about Pearl Harbor was the ex post facto cover-up. FDR was such an autocrat that he was incapable of conspiracy.

    What significant other facts are we awaiting?

      Thank you for listening and your support.
      I will add the Shakespeare writing Shakespeare conspiracy to my list and try to move it up on the schedule.
      Also, you are my first positive comment so if it’s ok, I would like to mention your name during my next podcast.
      Thanks again for listening.

      On Pearl Harbor and Grogan: How can you debunk the fact that his directional finding equipment lead him to state the Kido Butai stopped on Dec 2…? He reported this on Dec 3…this info was not released to the public until years after the war.

      “Most significantly, Grogan’s reports and observations are entirely consistent with
      the documented movements of the Kido Butai during the period in question. For example, position reports made by the 3rd Battleship Division indicated that the Kido Butai moved about ten degrees east along the forty-second parallel (179°W to 169°W) from 30 November
      to 2 December, Lurline time.’8 As well, the Kido Butai stopped to refuel on 2 December, a fact that Grogan could not been aware of by any other means other than radio direction finding in early December 1941.

      As Grogan explained with reference to the signals of 2
      December, “tonights [sic] Radio Detection signals have come from a NW by W from Honolulu, and from the signals, the Japs must be bunched up, biding time.” In short, Grogan knew from direction finding that the Japanese flotilla had stopped moving. The Japanese had
      wisely combined the need to pause for major refuelling with the plan to stop the fleet and await final confirmation of the attack decision from Tokyo. Grogan’s account thus mirrors exactly the principal pause in the force’s forward movement, information that was not
      publicly available until years after Grogan wrote his reports.
      This evidence thus sheds entirely new light on the long controverted question of whether the attack force could maintain total radio silence during the two-week voyage across the winter seas before arriving at the launching point for its planes. Veterans of the Kido Butai have insisted that the force maintained absolute and total radio silence until the attack planes began their final approach to Pearl Harbor. Some have chosen to attribute absolute veracity to these sources. It is, however, known that these same sources gave conflicting reports of the track of the force, denied the survival of any written records, and
      denied that the Honolulu consulate had provided any intelligence for the Kido Butai. These inaccuracies have since been exposed.

      Nonetheless, American sources have left unchallenged
      the Japanese claim of total silence. No records that might contradict the Japanese claim have been released by the United States, the widely held assumption being that there could be
      none. Grogan’s accounts suggest otherwise.”

      As you can read, Grogan could not have known the Attack force stopped to refuel, because this info was not released until years after the war! Need an answer on how Grogan knew?

    It might be interesting to pursue the “Shakespeare was not Shakespeare” debate.

    Long time listener first time, uh, responder…anyway if you ever do decide to take on the Anti-Shakespeare debate make sure you mention Freud’s contribution to the whole thing as mentioned in Jonathan Kay’s “Among the Truthers.”

      Will do, The Shakespeare controversy is on my to-do list and I will be sure to add that.

      Thanks
