This is where your whole argument crumbles in the face of the evidence. That there were 8 battleships and nearly 5000 deaths in the attack wasn't even revealed to the US public until a year later.
I have a newspaper right in front of me from December 6, 1942 - nearly a year after Pearl Harbor. The headline is "U.S. Bares Pearl Harbor Secrets; Eight Battles Ships Sunk, Damaged" (Los Angeles Examiner).
If your argument is that the US needed to "shock the people", why didn't it publish the battle damage until a year later? Why "let" the Japanese shock the US and then not inform the public of the extent of the shock? Do you have another conspiracy theory to cover up that contradiction?
The problem with consiparacy theories such as this one is a group of disjointed facts are mixed with a smattering of assumptions presenting as facts in just such a way as to seem plausible. It can only work if you ignore all the contradictory evidence.
