Shades of the past.... Tokyo Rose.....
During World War II we used to listen to this lady on
shipboard in the Pacific, and she was remarkably accurate
on which ship was going where and who was on board.
She had the UDT's even pinned to the C.O. Officers names
in many cases. Good music too.
The other night we watched a movie called, 'Flags of
our Fathers.' During the movie, I pointed out the radio
broadcast of 'Tokyo Rose.'
She had the best music on her station.
During World War II, the Japanese developed a way to
demoralize the American forces.
Psychological warfare experts developed a message they
felt would work. They gave the script to their famous
broadcaster, 'Tokyo Rose' and every day she would broadcast
this same message packaged in different ways.
The Japanese hoped it would have a negative impact on
American GI's morale. What was that demoralizing message?
It had three main points:
1. Your President is lying to you.
2. This war is illegal.
3. You cannot win the war.
Does this sound familiar today?
It does because we are being bombarded by Tokyo Hillary,
Tokyo Harry, Tokyo Teddy, Tokyo Nancy, etc., and they have
picked up the same message and are broadcasting it on
Tokyo CNN, Tokyo ABC, Tokyo CBS, Tokyo NBC etc.
The only difference is that they claim to support our
troops before they demoralize them. Hmmm -- Come
to think of it, Tokyo Rose told the troops she was on their
side, too.
What's the difference? You tell me!!!
