Atomic Bombs: Race Hatred and Mass Murder

Atomic Bombs: Race Hatred and Mass Murder
by Mike (in Tokyo) Rogers

Dropping the atomic bombs on Japan were acts of race hatred against "Japs." They were heinous war crimes; unwarranted and premeditated mass murder on a populace that was 95% civilian – of course the vast majority were women and children. The bombs were completely unnecessary to bring about a Japanese surrender and then US President Harry S. Truman knew it. The atomic bombs did not save one million lives.

<snip>

On July 26, 1945, the Proclamation Defining Terms for Japanese Surrender otherwise known as the Potsdam Declaration was issued. Article 13 of that declaration plainly states: "We call upon the government of Japan to proclaim now the unconditional surrender of all Japanese armed forces, and to provide proper and adequate assurances of their good faith in such action. The alternative for Japan is prompt and utter destruction."

On top of that, further evidence shows that President Truman, along with his top advisers, had all agreed that Japan was trying to surrender at least three days before the first atomic bomb was dropped but feared that Japan might surrender to the Russians. Proof of this can be found in the diary of Walter Brown, assistant to Secretary of State James F. Byrnes. In his entry of August 3, 1945 it is written that the President, Byrnes, and Admiral William D. Leahy, Chief of Staff to the President: "agrred Japas looking for peace. (Leahy had another report from Pacific) President afraid they will sue for peace through Russia instead of some country like Sweden." (See p. 415, Chapter 33)

Further proof that Truman ordered the atomic bombings of Japan not for the stated reason of bringing about a Japanese surrender and saving one million American lives, but to frighten the Soviets out of Eastern Europe, and to keep them from expanding influence in Asia, comes from Manhattan Project scientist Leo Szilard. Szilard met with US Secretary of State James Byrnes on May 28, 1945. Byrnes was Truman’s most trusted advisor and the only cabinet member who was present at Yalta.

2. A book to look out for is

Among The Dead Cities: Was the Allied Bombing of Civilians in WWII a Necessity or a Crime? by AC Grayling. It's due out in March. It has some shocking and sobering truths to tell about the way we won the war (and lost our souls).

4. I shall be interested to read Graylings book

although the review in the London Times was rather dismissive

I have to say that when I studied this subject in some detail a number of years ago I could not discern any real tactical or moral difference between the bombing campaigns run by either the Allies or the Axis in World War II. Both seemed indifferent to civilian casualties. At the end of the day the US and the British just had bigger and more numerous planes and bombs than their opponents so were able to kill people in larger numbers. Of course some might argue that the concept of 'innocent civilians' disappeared along with the mounted knight at the end the middle ages and had no meaning in an age of total war when every able bodied person over a certain age was mobilised to support their country's military effort. Personally I am inclined to agree with my Quaker friends that such nice distinctions between justifiable military deaths and unjustifiable civilian deaths are meaningless, and that war itself is the ultimate obscenity.

Agent Orange in Vietnam - the list goes on and on

Mass Murder even just for a terror factor is SOP for the PNACers

Hitler was a baby compared to the PNACers and the Illuminati group

Remember - GranPappy Bush (Prescott) was in with the Nazis up to 1951

They learned too well about mass-murder from Adolf

(sigh)
