right pearl harbor conspiracists aren't saying that they flew the planes of pearl harbor. kennedy conspiracists aren't saying that they're the ones that took the shot. all right. i shouldn't say that. there are a couple of kennedy conspiracies who do say that. but this is fundamentally different when they're saying that they have been abducted. don't think some of that could be a lack of verifiability when you claim that it is your own narrative and that you were in fact abducted by aliens or what have you. there's no factual ground point, you know, kennedy assassination. you have x y z happened those are on disputed, you know, kennedy was shot you can't go to far past that well, unless you're somebody that says kennedy's still alive, right or at least it looked like he was whereas in i feel like in these one of the rhetorically useful things about saying that it was your own experience is that nobody can really deny that. mm-hmm. yeah, and that is at the root of why this why ufo conspiracism can become so expensive right because we've talked about this the fact that in te

there was pearl harbor obviously [inaudible] but they never talked about the effect december 7 heavenncivilian americans and how america changed literally overnight and i meangh literally overnight and how the war impacted the national mood. something like three weeks after pearl harbor ford motor company and fischer auto body parts and goodyear rubber stopped making cars and by the way they issued proclamationsoc on how many you could use. they stopped making cars on the orders of united states government started making b-20 five bombers out of fabricated auto parts. you couldn't use -- the government sent out a memo to radio operators and radio station holders you cannot use video owners and operators. you can't use them for promotional purposes. you can do that. he couldn't ride cast. they took a loose lips sink ships quite literally and gave instructions to these radio stations on what they could and couldn't o say and everybody followed the orders because they believed their mission was at risk and the nation was being threatened. it's fascinating how much, how homogenous our nati

it echoes the kind of racial supremacist him we saw with pearl harbor.could not have possibly lost to these inferior races. instead there must be complicity from within the cooper very much operating within those strains as well. while we roll our eyes which i think we've all rolled her eyes talking about cooper he is massively influential not least a new world order militia conspiracies and baby talk about the fact is no coincidence the abduction coincides with new reproductive technological and social anxieties. both emerge in the '90s. there is a strong linkage between the two. that is not to say the two forms of conspiracies him map perfectly onto each other. a lot we see in the new world order conspiracies on the men and black the black helicopters in secret bases, these are all tropes drawn from u.s. open spiritism and william cooper is really one of the key linkages there, giving birth to this new form of extraterrestrial conspiracists and we seem to be working our way through now. not everyone is noticed not everyone talks about alien abduction a

mind telling everybody, one of the stories that sticks with me so much is when they find out that pearl harbor has been bombed. >> i remember my mom telling me as a kid about that day. we went to church and afterwards we were so excited. they got to go have hot chocolate and she said we were sitting in the booth and it had just arrived and she could smell it and it was so -- she was cooling it off and heard crackling and suddenly all of the adults in the room got nervous and started standing up, putting their coats on and she remembered her mother grabbing her by the wrist saying we've got to go, like all hell is breaking loose. the world changed in an instant and she didn't know what was going on but she remembered that moment the rest of her life and that changed everything because all the young men they knew including harry would go a couple years later because he went to the pacific and changed their lives forever. >> to watch the rest of the program, visit the website, booktv.org. use the search box near the top of the page to look for martha maccallum or the title of her book unknown val

what was the nature of the destruction at pearl harbor?e thought they needed to know what was happening. the government was troubled by this. they created an office of censorship. they looked over his scripts and told him to change the wording. he read the censorship code so well he could quote it back to them. he was adept at getting things out. he could switch back and forth. he could get things in the column and he if he couldn't get it in the column, he would put it in the radio. he the reporter that wrote the story that general patton put two shellshocked soldiers in a military hospital, thinking they were slackers. no one dared to publish it. pearson found out. he got it on the radio. once he broke the story, all the war correspondents in europe verified it and pearson got through it. he was threatened with prison or being sued. when he was in england and he published some things about -- if he had been in england when he wrote about some things about winston churchill, he would've ended up in jail. but he felt like it was his respon
