What we may have here, is something more parallel to USA-Japan in 1941, where the USA and Britain blockaded Japan&#8217;s oil acquisition, pushing Japan into the attack on Pearl Harbor, and start what the Japanese saw as a war of sheer survival.<\/h5>\n<h5><a href=\"https:\/\/www.henrymakow.com\/2018\/12\/pearl-harbor-how-the-illuminati-start-wars.html\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.henrymakow.com\/2018\/12\/pearl-harbor-how-the-illuminati-start-wars.html&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1561498308342000&amp;usg=AFQjCNFurkTf1nbLiGDT5MNaToz2Nfugmg\">https:\/\/www.henrymakow.com\/2018\/12\/pearl-harbor-how-the-illuminati-start-wars.html<\/a><\/h5>\n<h5>The &#8216;false flag&#8217; discussion is distracting us from the bigger moral point, that the USA massively blockading Iran&#8217;s oil sales and economy.
