Ghost of 'Tokyo Rose'
Anyone who remembers anything about World War II, or has studied anything about World War II, will understand and remember that during the war, the Japanese invented ways to demoralize the American forces. The Japanese psychological warfare experts developed a message they felt would work.

They gave their psychological warfare script to their famous broadcaster "Tokyo Rose" and every day she would broadcast this same message, packaged in different ways, hoping it would have a negative impact on American GIs' 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?

Is it because "Tokyo" Hillary, Harry, Teddy, Nancy, Durbin, Kerry, etc., have all learned from the former enemies of our country, and have picked up the same message and are broadcasting it on "Tokyo" CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, etc., to our troops?

The only difference is that they claim to "support" our troops … before they "demoralize" them!

Remember: Tokyo Rose told the American troops she was on their side too!
