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.
US President
Harry S. Truman also knew that the emperor of Japan had accepted the terms of
an unconditional surrender 19 days before the first atomic bomb was dropped.
Truman and his staff were cognizant and fully aware that the Japanese wanted to
surrender; Soviet Leader Joseph Stalin knew it; and British Prime Minister Winston
Churchill and his staff knew it also. They all knew, yet they chose to ignore
the Japanese emperor's official request to accept a Japanese surrender.
Here's the undeniable
proof from Truman's own hand. Consider:
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.
This
declaration was passed on through public as well as private channels and was
well known to the government of Japan. The allies had issued a similar
ultimatum to Nazi Germany at the end of the Casablanca
Conference in 1943 and reconfirmed it at Yalta in 1945. There wasn't
a government in the world who didn't understand the stated purpose of the
Allies.
On July 18,
1945, exactly 19 days before the first atomic bomb was dropped on Japan, in
his own handwritten diary, Harry S. Truman wrote:
This proves
beyond a shadow of doubt that Truman knew the Japanese emperor had
accepted the terms for unconditional surrender three weeks before the
atomic bomb was dropped. The term "Japs" was, of course, a racial
slur against the Japanese in the 1940's as much as it is today.
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
[sic] Japas [sic] 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.
Szilard recalled what Byrne's thinking
was:
"[Byrnes]
was concerned about Russia's postwar behavior. Russian troops had moved into
Hungary and Rumania, and Byrnes thought it would be very difficult to persuade
Russia to withdraw her troops from these countries, that Russia might be more
manageable if impressed by American military might, and that a demonstration of
the bomb might impress Russia." — (Leo Szilard: His
Version of the Facts, pg. 184).
The Japanese
knew what the terms for surrender were and the emperor of Japan personally had
sent a telegram asking to surrender. Nevertheless, knowing fully well that the
Japanese had accepted those terms of unconditional surrender and knowing that
an invasion of Japan was not necessary to bring about the end of the war, the
United States became the very first nation in the history of the world to use
an atomic weapon of genocide and mass destruction on a civilian city.
Truman and
his advisors wanted to scare the Russians. The USA had an atomic bomb and
wanted to use it. Who better to use it on than inferior "Japs"? Who
better to test a weapon on than people who were not white and who were
considered savages?
Who could possibly think that race hatred
by Americans did not play a huge part in this crime?
Considering
the above, how could any intelligent, self-respecting American ever believe the
risible excuse that because the Japanese refused to surrender, the USA was
forced to drop not one, but two atomic bombs on them to force them into
quitting the war saving one million lives? That's an out-and-out lie.
Harry
S. Truman, without a shadow of doubt, by your own admission, and that of your
closest advisors, you are guilty of pre-meditated serial killings and mass
murder in the first degree.
I think you have a very warped sense of history. Japan was, after all, the first country to use a nuclear weapon on Korea. Second, the actual documents show Japan was looking for a CONDITIONAL ceasation to the war. Japan's own treatment of the Chinese was the real war crime. So don't be so high and mighty. True, the bombs killed many innocents, but it was total war by all sides. Your generals were to blame, not the U.S.
