THE COURT OF INTERNATIONAL JUSTICE
The world was stunned to learn that India has now tested nuclear
weapons. For many years, all nations have been concerned about the
proliferation of atomic explosives. Even in their distress, no one seems
to be interested in the historic or the psychological record of why
these weapons were developed, and what special breed of mankind devoted
themselves to this diabolical goal.
Despite the lack of public interest, the record is clear, and easily
available to anyone who is interested. My interest in this subject,
dormant for many years was suddenly rekindled during my annual lecture
tour in Japan. My hosts had taken me to the city of Nagasaki for the
first time. Without telling me their plans, they entered the Nagasaki
Atomic Bomb Museum. I thought it would be an interesting experience,
but, to my surprise, when I walked into the exhibition rooms, I was
suddenly overcome by sadness. Realizing that I was about to burst into
tears, I moved away from my companions, and stood biting my lip. Even
so, it seemed impossible to control myself. I was surrounded by the most
gruesome objects, the fingers of a human hand fused with glass, a
photograph of the shadow of a man on a brick wall; the man had been
vaporized in the explosion .
A NEW MISSION
When
I returned to the United States, I knew1 had to unearth the sinister figures behind
greatest of human catastrophes. It took many
weeks of research to uncover what turned out to
be the most far-reaching conspiracy of all time,
t
he program of a few dedicated revolutionaries to
seize control of the entire world, by inventing the powerful weapon ever unveiled.
The story begins in Germany. In the 1930s,
Germany and Japan had a number of scientists
icing on the development of nuclear fission. In
both of these countries, their leaders sternly
forbade them to continue their research. Adolf
Hitler said he would never allow anyone in
Germany to
work to work on such an inhumane weapon.
The Emperor of Japan let his scientists know that
he would never approve such a weapon. At that
time the United States had no one working on
nuclear fission. The disgruntled German scientists
contacted friends in the United States, and were
told that there was a possibility of government
support for their work here. As Don Beyer tells
these immigrants to the United States pushed
t
heir program.
"Leo Szilard, together with his long time
friends and fellow Hungarian
physicists, Eugene
Wigner and Edward Teller, agreed that the
President must be
warned; fission bomb
tehnology was not so farfetched. The Jewish
emigres, now living in America, had personal
experience of fascism in Europe. In 1939, the three
physicists
enlisted the support of Albert Einstein, letter dated August 2 signed by
Einstein was
delivered by Alexander Sachs to Franklin D.
Roosevelt at the White
House on October 11, 39."
CRIMINALS ON DISPLAY
At the Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum,
photographs of two men are prominently
displayed;
Albert Einstein, and J. Robert Oppenheimer, who
developed the atomic bomb
at Los Alamos
laboratories, New Mexico. Also on display is a
statement from General
Eisenhower, who was then
supreme Military Commander, which is found in number of
books about Eisenhower, and which
can be found on p.426, Eisenhower by Stephen E.
Ambrose, Simon & Shuster, NY, 1983.
"Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson first told Eisenhower of the bomb's
existence. Eisenhower was engulfed by "a feeling of depression'. When Stimson
said the United States proposed to use the bomb against Japan, Eisenhower voiced
'my grave misgivings, first on the basis of my belief that Japan was already
defeated and that dropping the bomb was completely unnecessary, and secondly
because
I thought that our country should avoid shocking world opinion by the
use (of atomic weapons).' Stimson was upset by Eisenhower's attitude 'almost
angrily refuting the reasons I gave for my quick conclusion'. Three days later,
Eisenhower flew to Berlin, where he met with
Truman and his principal advisors.
Again Eisenhower recommended against using the bomb, and again was ignored.
Other books on Eisenhower state that he endangered his career by his protests
against the bomb, which the conspirators in the highest level of the United
States government had already sworn to use against Japan, regardless of any
military developments. Eisenhower could not have known that Stimson was a
prominent member of Skull and Bones at Yale, the Brotherhood of Death, founded
by the Russell Trust in 1848 as a bunch of the German Illuminati, or that they
had played prominent roles in organizing wars and revolutions since that time.
Nor could he have known that President
Truman had only had one job in his
career, as a Masonic organizer for the State of Missouri, and that the lodges he
built up later sent him to the United States Senate and then to the presidency.
ATOMIC TERRORISM
The man who set all this in motion was Albert Einstein, who left Europe and
came to the United States in October 1933. His wife said that he "regarded human
beings with detestation". He had previously corresponded with Sigmund Freud
about his projects of "peace" and "disarmament", although Freud later said he
did not believe that Einstein ever accepted any of his theories. Einstein had a
personal interest in Freud's work because his son Eduard spent his life in
mental institutions, undergoing both insulin therapy and electroshock treatment,
none of which produced any change in his condition.
When Einstien arrived in the United States, he was feted as a famous
scientist, and was invited to the White House by President and Mrs. Roosevelt.
He was soon deeply involved with Eleanor Roosevelt in her many leftwing causes,
in which
Einstein heartily concurred. Some of Einstein's biographers hail the modern
era as "the Einstein Revolution" and "the Age of Einstein", possibly because he
set in motion the program of nuclear fission in the United States. His letter to
Roosevelt requesting that the government inaugurate an atomic bomb program was
obviously stirred by his lifelong commitment to "peace and disarmament". His
actual commitment was to Zionism; Ronald W. Clark mentions in Einstein; His Life
And Times, Avon, 1971, p.377, "He would campaign with the Zionists for a Jewish
homeland in Palestine." On p.460, Clark quotes Einstein, "As a Jew I am from
today a supporter of the Jewish Zionist efforts." (1919) Einstein's letter to
Roosevelt, dated august 2, 1939, was delivered personally to President Roosevelt
by Alexander Sachs on October 11. Why did Einstein enlist an intermediary to
bring this letter to Roosevelt, with whom he was on friendly terms? The atomic
bomb program could not be launched without the necessary Wall Street
sponsorship. Sachs, a Russian Jew, listed his profession as "economist" but was
actually a bagman for the Rothschilds, who regularly delivered large sums of
cash to Roosevelt in the White House. Sachs was an advisor to Eugene Meyer of
the Lazard Freres International Banking House, and also with Lehman Brothers,
another well known banker. Sachs' delivery of the Einstein letter to the White
House let Roosevelt know that the Rothschilds approved of the project and wished
him to go full speed ahead.
A UNITED NATIONS PROJECT
In May of 1945, the architects of postwar strategy, or, as they liked to call
themselves, the "Masters of the Universe", gathered in San Francisco at the
plush Palace Hotel to write the Charter for the United Nations. Several of the
principals retired for a private meeting in the
exclusive Garden Room. The head of the United States delegation had called
this secret meeting with his top aide, Alger Hiss, representing the president of
the United States and the Soviet KGB; John Foster Dulles, of the Wall Street law
firm of Sullivan and Cromwell, whose mentor, William Nelson Cromwell, had been
called a "professional revolutionary" on the floor of Congress; and W. Averill
Harriman, plenipotentiary extraordinary, who had spent the last two years in
Moscow directing Stalin's war for survival. These four men represented the
awesome power of the American Republic in world affairs, yet of the four, only
Secretary of State Edward Stettinius Jr., had a position authorized by the
Constitution. Stettinius called the meeting to order to discuss an urgent
matter; the Japanese were already privately suing for peace, which presented a
grave crisis. The atomic bomb would not be ready for several more months. "We
have already lost Germany," Stettinius said. "If Japan bows out, we will not
have a live population on which to test the bomb."
"But, Mr. Secretary," said Alger Hiss, "no one can ignore the terrible power
of this weapon." "Nevertheless," said Stettinius, "our entire postwar program
depends on terrifying the world with the atomic bomb." "To accomplish that
goal," said John Foster Dulles, "you will need a very good tally. I should say a
million." "Yes," replied Stettinius, "we are hoping for a million tally in
Japan. But if they surrender, we won't have anything." "Then you have to keep
them in the war until the bomb is ready," said John Foster Dulles. "That is no
problem. Unconditional surrender." "They won't agree to that," said Stettinius.
"They are sworn to protect the Emperor." "Exactly," said John Foster Dulles.
"Keep Japan in the war another three months, and we can use the bomb on their
cities; we will end this war with the naked fear of all the peoples of the
world, who will then bow to our will."
Edward Stettinius Jr. was the son of a J.P. Morgan partner who had been the
world's largest munitions dealer in the First World War. He had been named by
J.P. Morgan to oversee all purchases of munitions by both France and England in
the United States throughout the war. John Foster Dulles was also an
accomplished warmonger. In 1933, he and his brother Allen had rushed to Cologne
to meet with Adolf Hitler and guaranteed him the funds to maintain the Nazi
regime. The Dulles brothers were representing their clients, Kuhn Loeb Co., and
the Rothschilds. Alger Hiss was the golden prince of the communist elite in the
united States. When he was chosen as head of the prestigious Carnegie Endowment
for International Peace after World War II, his nomination was seconded by John
Foster Dulles. Hiss was later sent to prison for perjury for lying about his
exploits as a Soviet espionage agent.
This secret meeting in the Garden Room was actually the first military
strategy session of the United Nations, because it was dedicated to its mission
of exploding the world's first atomic weapon on a living population. It also
forecast the entire strategy of the Cold War, which lasted forty-three years,
cost American taxpayers five trillion dollars, and accomplished exactly nothing,
as it was intended to do. Thus we see that the New World Order has based its
entire strategy on the agony of the hundreds of thousands of civilians burned
alive at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, including many thousands of children sitting in
their schoolrooms. These leaders had learned from their
master, Josef Stalin, that no one can rule without mass terrorism, which in
turn required mass murder. As Senator Vandenberg, leader of the Republican loyal
opposition, was to say (as quoted in American Heritage magazine, August 1977),
"We have got to scare the hell out of "em."
THE JEWISH HELL-BOMB
The atomic bomb was developed at the Los Alamos Laboratories in New Mexico.
The top secret project was called the Manhattan Project, because its secret
director, Bernard Baruch, lived in Manhattan, as did many of the other
principals. Baruch had chosen Maj. Gen. Leslie R. Groves to head the operation.
He had previously built the Pentagon, and had a good reputation among the
Washington politicians, who usually came when Baruch beckoned.
The scientific director at Los Alamos was J. Robert Oppenheimer, scion of a
prosperous family of clothing merchants. In Oppenheimer; the Years Of Risk, by
James Kunetka, Prentice Hall, NY, 1982, Kunetka writes, p. 106, "Baruch was
especially interested in Oppenheimer for the position of senior scientific
adviser." The project cost an estimated two billion dollars. No other nation in
the world could have afforded to develop such a bomb. The first successful test
of the atomic bomb occurred at the Trinity site, two hundred miles south of Los
Alamos at 5:29:45 a.m. on July 16, 1945. Oppenheimer was beside himself at the
spectacle. He shrieked, "I am become Death, the Destroyer of worlds." Indeed,
this seemed to be the ultimate goal of the Manhattan Project, to destroy the
world. There had been considerable fear among the scientists that the test
explosion might indeed set off a chain reaction, which would destroy the entire
world. Oppenheimer's exultation came from his realization that now his people
had attained the ultimate power, through which they could implement their
five-thousand-year desire to rule the entire world.
THE BUCK PASSES TO
TRUMAN
Although Truman liked to take full credit for the decision to drop the atomic
bomb on Japan, in fact, he was advised by a prestigious group, The National
Defense Research Committee, consisting of George L. Harrison, president of the
Federal Reserve Bank of New York; Dr. James B. Conant, president of Harvard, who
had spent the First World War developing more effective poison gases, and who in
1942 had been commissioned by Winston Churchill to develop an Anthrax bomb to be
used on Germany, which would have killed every living thing in Germany. Conant
was unable to perfect the bomb before Germany surrendered, otherwise he would
have had another line to add to his resume
. His service on Truman's Committee
which advised him to drop the atomic bomb on Japan, added to his previous record
as a chemical warfare professional, allowed me to describe him in papers filed
before the United States Court of Claims in 1957, as "the most notorious war
criminal of the Second World War". As Gauleiter of Germany after the war, he had
ordered the burning of my book,
The Federal Reserve Conspiracy, ten thousand
copies having been published in Oberammergau, the site of the world-famed
Passion Play.
Also on the committee were Dr. Karl Compton, and James F. Byrnes, acting
Secretary of State. For thirty years, Byrnes had been known as Bernard
Baruch's man in Washington. With his Wall Street profits, Baruch had built
the most lavish estate in South Carolina, which he named Hobcaw Barony. As the
wealthiest man in South Carolina, this epitome of the carpet-bagger also
controlled the political purse strings. Now Baruch was in a position to dictate
to Truman, through his man Byrnes, that he should drop the atomic bomb on Japan.
LIPMAN SIEW
Despite the fact that the Manhattan Project was the most closely guarded
secret of World War II, one man, and one many only, was allowed to observe
everything and to know everything about the project. He was Lipman Siew, a
Lithuanian Jew who had come to the United States as a political refugee at the
age of seventeen. He lived in Boston on Lawrence St., and decided to take the
name of William L. Laurence. At Harvard, he became a close friend of James B.
Conant and was tutored by him. When Laurence went to New York, he was hired by
Herbert Bayard Swope, editor of the
New York World, who was known as Bernard
Baruch's personal publicity agent. Baruch owned the World. In 1930, Laurence
accepted an offer from the
New York Times to become its science editor. He
states in Who's Who that he "was selected by the heads of the atomic bomb
project as sole writer and public relations." How one could be a public
relations writer for a top secret project was not explained. Laurence was the
only civilian present at the historic explosion of the test bomb on July 16,
1945. Less than a month later, he sat in the copilots seat of the B-29 on the
fateful Nagasaki bombing run.
WILL JAPAN SURRENDER BEFORE THE BOMB IS DROPPED?
There were still many anxious moments for the conspirators, who planned to
launch a new reign of terror throughout the world. Japan had been suing for
peace. Each day it seemed less likely that she could stay in the war. On March 9
and 10, 1945, 325 B-29s had burned thirty-five square miles of Tokyo, leaving
more than one hundred thousand Japanese dead in the ensuing firestorm. Of
Japan's 66 biggest cities, 59 had been mostly destroyed. 178 square miles of
urban dwellings had been burned, 500,000 died in the fires, and now twenty
million Japanese were homeless. Only four cities had not been destroyed;
Hiroshima, Kokura, Niigata, and Nagasaki. Their inhabitants had no inkling that
they had been saved as target cities for the experimental atomic bomb. Maj. Gen.
Leslie Groves, at Bernard Baruch's insistence, had demanded that Kyoto be the
initial target of the bomb. Secretary of War Stimson objected, saying that as
the ancient capital of Japan, the city of Kyoto had hundreds of historic wooden
temples, and no military targets. The Jews wanted to destroy it precisely
because of its great cultural importance to the Japanese people.
THE HORROR OF HIROSHIMA
While the residents of Hiroshima continued to watch the B-29s fly overhead
without dropping bombs on them, they had no inkling of the terrible fate which
the scientists had reserved for them. William Manchester quotes General Douglas
MacArtbur in American Caesar, Little Brown, 1978, p.437
[quoting:]
There was another Japan, and MacArthur was one of the few Americans who
suspected its existence. He kept urging the Pentagon and the State Department to
be alert for conciliatory gestures. The General predicted that the break would
come from Tokyo, not the Japanese army. The General was right. A dovish
coalition was forming in the Japanese capital, and it was headed by Hirohito
himself, who had concluded in the spring of 1945 that a negotiated peace was the
only way to end his nation's agony. Beginning in early May, a six-man council of
Japanese diplomats explored ways to accommodate the Allies. The delegates
informed top military officials that "our resistance is finished". [End quoting]
On p.359, Gar Alperowitz quotes Brig. Gen. Carter W. Clarke, in charge of
preparing the MAGIC summary in 1945, who stated in a 1959 historical interview,
"We brought them down to an abject surrender through the accelerated sinking of
their merchant marine and hunger alone, and when we didn't need to do it, and
knew we didn't need to do it, we used them as an experiment for two atomic
bombs."
Although President Truman referred to himself as the sole authority in the
decision to drop the bomb, in fact he was totally influenced by Bernard Baruch's
man in Washington, James F. Byrnes. Gar Alperowitz states, p. 196, "Byrnes spoke
with the authority of—personally represented—the president of the United States
on all bomb-related matters in the Interim Committee's deliberations." David
McCullough, in his laudatory biography of Truman, which was described as "a
valentine", admitted that "Truman didn't know his own Secretary of State,
Stettinius. He had no background in foreign policy, no expert advisors of his
own."
The tragedy of Hiroshima and Nagasaki was that a weak, inexperienced
president, completely under the influence of Byrnes and Baruch, allowed himself
to be manipulated into perpetrating a terrible massacre. In the introduction to
Hiroshima's Shadows, we find that "Truman was moving in quite the opposite
direction, largely under the influence of Byrnes. The atom bomb for Byrnes was
an instrument of diplomacy-atomic diplomacy." (p.ix)
MASS MURDER
On August 6, 1945, a uranium bomb 3-235, 20 kilotons yield, was exploded 1850
feet in the air above Hiroshima, for maximum explosive effect. It devastated
four square miles, and killed 140,000 of the 255,000 inhabitants. In Hiroshima's
Shadows, we find a statement by a doctor who treated some of the victims; p.415,
Dr. Shuntaro Hida: "It was strange to us that Hiroshima had never been bombed,
despite the fact that B-29 bombers flew over the city every day. Only after the
war did I come to know that Hiroshima, according to American archives, had been
kept untouched in order to preserve it as a target for the use of nuclear
weapons. Perhaps, if the American administration and its military authorities
had paid sufficient regard to the terrible nature of the fiery demon which
mankind had discovered and yet knew so little about its consequences, the
American authorities might never have used such a weapon against the 750,000
Japanese who ultimately became its victims."
Dr. Hida says that while treating the terribly
mangled and burned victims, "My eyes were ready to overflow with tears. I
spoke to myself and bit my lip so that I would not cry. If I had cried, I would
have lost my courage to keep standing and working, treating dying victims of
Hiroshima."
On p.433,
Hiroshima's Shadows, Kensaburo Oe declares, "From the instant the
atomic bomb exploded, it became the symbol of all human evil; it was a savagely
primitive demon and most modern curse.... My nightmare stems from a suspicion
that a 'certain trust in human strength' or 'humanism' flashed across the minds
of American intellectuals who decided upon the project that concluded with the
dropping of the bomb on Hiroshima."
In the introduction to
Hiroshima's Shadows, we find that "One of the myths of
Hiroshima is that the inhabitants were warned by leaflets that an atomic bomb
would be dropped. The leaflets Leonard Nadler and William P. Jones recall seeing
in the Hiroshima Museum in 1960 and 1970 were dropped after the bombing. This
happened because the President's Interim Committee on the Atomic Bomb decided on
May 31 'that we could not give the Japanese any warning'. Furthermore, the
decision to drop 'atomic' leaflets on Japanese cities was not made until August
7, the day after the Hiroshima bombing. They were not dropped until August 10,
after Nagasaki had been bombed. We can say that the residents of Hiroshima
received no advance warning about the use of the atomic bomb. On June 1, 1945, a
formal and official decision was taken during a meeting of the so-called Interim
Committee not to warn the populations of the specific target cities. James
Byrnes and Oppenheimer insisted that the bombs must be used without prior
warning."
"Closely linked to the question of whether a warning of an atomic bomb attack
was given to the civilian populations of the target cities is the third 'article
of fifth' that underpins the American legend of Hiroshima; the belief that
Hiroshima and Nagasaki were military targets. The Headquarters of the Japanese
Second army were located in Hiroshima and approximately 20,000 men—of which
about half, or 10,000 died in the attack. In Nagasaki, there were about 150
deaths among military personnel in the city. Thus, between the two cities, 4.4%
of the total death toll was made up of military personnel. In short, more than
95% of the casualties were civilians."
On p.39 of
Hiroshima's Shadows we find that (at Hiroshima) "strictly military
damage was insignificant." How are we to reconcile this statement with Harry
Truman's vainglorious boast in Off The Record; the Private Papers of Harry S.
Truman Harper, 1980, p.304, "In 1945 I had ordered the Atomic Bomb dropped on
Japan at two places devoted almost exclusively to war production." In fact, many
thousands of the Hiroshima casualties were children sitting in their classrooms.
The bomb was dropped because (p.35) "The Manhattan Project's managers were
lobbying to use the atomic bomb. Byrnes sat in on these meetings. Maj. Gen.
Groves seems to have been the author of the claim that the use of the bomb would
save a million American lives—-a figure in the realm of fantasy."
Truman himself variously stated that the use of the use of the atomic bomb
saved "a quarter of a million American lives", a "half-million American lives",
and finally settled on the Gen. Groves figure of "a million American lives
saved."
Meanwhile (p.64) William L. Laurence, who
was writing for the New York Times at full salary while also receiving a full
salary from the War Department as the "public relations agent for the atomic
bomb" published several stories in the New York Times denying that there had
been any radiation effects on the victims of the Hiroshima bombing (Sept. 5,
1945 et seq.) in which he quotes General Groves' indignant comment, "The
Japanese are still continuing their propaganda aimed at creating the impression
we won the war unfairly and thus attempting to create sympathy for themselves."
(p.66) "The Legation of Switzerland on August 11, 1945 fo
rwarded from Tokyo
the following memorandum to the State Department (which sat on it for
twenty-five years before finally releasing it): 'The Legation of Switzerland has
received a communication from the Japanese Government.' On August 6, 1945,
American airplanes released on the residential district of the town of
Hiroshima, bombs of a new type, killing and injuring in one second a large
number of civilians and destroying a great part of the town. Not only is the
city of Hiroshima a provincial town without any protection or special military
installations of any kind, but also none of the neighboring regions or towns
constitutes a military objective."
The introduction to
Hiroshima's Shadows concludes that (p.lxvii) "The claim
that an invasion of the Japanese home islands was necessary without the use of
the atomic bombs is untrue. The claim that an 'atomic warning' was given to the
populace of Hiroshima is untrue. And the claim that both cities were key
military targets is untrue."
A PILOT'S STORY
Corroboration of these statements is found in the remarkable record of
Ellsworth Torrey Carrington, "Reflections of a Hiroshima Pilot", (p.9) "As part
of the Hiroshima atomic battle plan my B-29 (named Jabbitt III, Captain John
Abbott Wilson's third war plane) flew the weather observation mission over the
secondary target of Kokura on August 6, 1945." (p. 10) "After the first bomb was
dropped, the atom bomb command was very fearful that Japan might surrender
before we could drop the second bomb, so our people worked around the clock,
24-hours-a-day to avoid such a misfortune." This is, of course, satire on
Carrington's part. (p. 13) "in city after city all over the face of Japan
(except for our cities spared because reserved for atomic holocaust) they
ignited the most terrible firestorms in history with very light losses (of
B-29s). Sometimes the heat from these firestorms was so intense that later waves
of B-29s were caught by updrafts strong enough to loft them upwards from 4 or
5,000 feet all the way up to 8 or 10,000 feet. The major told us that the
fire-bombing of Japan had proven successful far beyond anything they had
imagined possible and that the 20th Air Force was running out of cities to burn.
Already there were no longer (as of the first week in June 1945) any target
cities left that were worth the attention of more than 50 B-29s, and on a big
day, we could send up as many as 450 planes!" "The totality of the devastation
in Japan was extraordinary, and this was matched by the near-totality of Japan's
defencelessness." (as of June 1, 1945, before the atomic bombs were dropped.)
(p. 14) "The Truman government censored and controlled all the war information
that was allowed to reach the public,
and of course, Truman had a vested interest in obscuring the truth so as to
surreptitiously prolong the war and be politically able to use the atom bomb.
Regarding the second element of the Roosevelt-Truman atomic Cold War strategy of
deceiving the public into believing that Japan was still militarily viable in
the spring and summer of 1945, the centerpiece was the terribly expensive and
criminally unnecessary campaign against Okinawa.
Carrington quotes Admiral William D. Leahy, p. 245,
I Was There, McGraw Hill:
"A large part of the Japanese Navy was already on the bottom of the sea. The
combined Navy surface and air force action even by this time had forced Japan
into a position that made her early surrender inevitable. None of us then knew
the potentialities of the atomic bomb, but it was my opinion, and I urged it
strongly on the Joint Chiefs, that no major land invasion of the Japanese
mainland was necessary to win the war. The JCS did order the preparation of
plans for an invasion, but the invasion itself was never authorized."
Thus Truman, urged on by General Groves, claims that "a million American
lives were saved" by the use of the atomic bomb, when no invasion had ever been
authorized, and was not in the cards. Carrington continues, p. 16, "The
monstrous truth is that the timing of the Okinawa campaign was exclusively
related to the early August timetable of the atomic bomb. J'accuse!
I accuse
Presidents Franklin Roosevelt and Harry Truman of deliberately committing war
crimes against the American people for the sole purpose of helping set the stage
for the criminally unnecessary use of atomic weapons on Japan."
Carrington further quotes Admiral Leahy, from
I Was There, "It is my opinion
that the use of this barbarous weapon at Hiroshima and Nagaski was of no
material assistance in our war against Japan. The Japanese were already defeated
and ready to surrender because of the effective sea blockade and the successful
bombing with conventional weapons."
Carrington concludes, p.22, "Truman's wanton use of atomic weapons left the
American people feeling dramatically less secure after winning World War II than
they had ever felt before, and these feelings of insecurity have been exploited
by unscrupulous Cold War Machine Politicians ever since." As Senator Vandenberg
said, "We have to scare the hell out of 'em" in order to browbeat the American
people into paying heavy taxes to support the Cold War.
DID THE ATOMIC BOMB WIN THE WAR AGAINST JAPAN?
Admiral William Leahy also stated in
I Was There, "My own feeling is that
being the first to use it (the atomic bomb) we had adopted an ethical standard
common to the Barbarism of the Dark Ages. I was not taught to make war in that
fashion, and wars cannot be won by destroying women and children."
Gar Alperowitz notes, p. 16, "On May 5, May 12 and June 7, the Office of
Strategic Services (our intelligence operation), reported Japan was considering
capitulation. Further messages came on May 18, July 7, July 13 and July 16."
Alperowitz points out, p.36, "The standing United States demand for
'unconditional surrender' directly threatened not only the person of the Emperor
but such central tenets of Japanese
culture as well."
Alperowitz also quotes General Curtis LeMay, chief of the Air Forces, p.334,
"The war would have been over in two weeks without the Russians entering and
without the atomic bomb. PRESS INQUIRY: You mean that, sir? Without the Russians
and without the atomic bomb? LeMay: The atomic bomb had nothing to do with the
end of the war at all." September 29, 1945, statement.
THE NAGASAKI BOMB
When the Air Force dropped the atomic bomb on Nagasaki, with William Laurence
riding in the co-pilot's seat of the B-29, pretending to be Dr. Strangelove,
here again the principal target was a Catholic church. P.93,
The Fall Of Japan,
by William Craig, Dial, NY, 1967, "the roof and masonry of the Catholic
cathedral fell on the kneeling worshippers. All of them died." This church has
now been rebuilt, and is a prominent feature of the Nagasaki tour.
After the terror bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the victorious Allies
moved promptly to try Japanese officials for their "war crimes". From 1945-51
several thousand Japanese military men were found guilty of war crimes by an
International Military Tribunal which met in Tokyo from 1946 to 1948.
Twenty-eight Japanese military and civilian leaders were accused of having
engaged in conspiracy to commit atrocities. The dissenting member of the Tokyo
tribunal, Judge Radhabinod of India, dismissed the charge that Japanese leaders
had conspired to commit atrocities, stating that a stronger case might be made
against the victors, because the decision to use the atomic bomb resulted in
indiscriminate murder.
A very popular movie in Japan today is
Pride, The Fateful Moment, which shows
Prime Minister General Hideki Tojo in a favorable light. With six others, he was
hanged in 1968 as a war criminal. During his trial, his lawyers stated to the
International Tribunal for the Far East, the Asian version of Nuremberg Trials,
that Tojo's war crimes could not begin to approach the dropping
of the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The prosecutors immediately
objected, and censored their statements. That was the last time there was any
official recognition of the atomic bomb massacres in Japan. Japanese officials
have been effectively prevented from taking any stand on this matter because the
American military occupation, which officially ended in 1952 with the Treaty
with Japan, was quietly continued. Today, 49,000 American troops are still
stationed in Japan, and there is no public discussion of the crimes of Hiroshima
and Nagasaki.
AMERICAN MILITARY
AUTHORITIES SAY ATOMIC BOMB UNNECESSARY
The most authoritative Air Force unit during World War II was the U.S.
Strategic Bombing Survey, which selected targets on the basis of need, and which
analyzed the results for future missions. In
Hiroshima's Shadow, the U.S.
Strategic Bombing Survey report of July 1, 1946 states, "The Hiroshima and
Nagasaki atomic bombs did not defeat Japan, nor by the testimony of the enemy
leaders who ended the war did they persuade Japan to accept unconditional
surrender. The Emperor, the lord privy seal, the prime minister, the foreign
minister, and the navy minister had decided as early as May 1945 that the war
should be ended even if it meant acceptance of defeat on allied terms.... It is
the Survey's opinion that certainly prior to December 1, 1945 and in all
probability prior to November 1, 1945, Japan would have surrendered even if the
atomic bombs had not been dropped and even if no invasion had been planned or
contemplated."
Both military, political and religious leaders spoke out against the atomic
bombing of Japanese civilians. The Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in
America issued a formal statement in March 1946 (cited by Gar Alperowitz):
"The surprise bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki are morally indefensible.
Both bombings must be judged to have been unnecessary for winning the war. As
the power that first used the atomic bomb under these
circumstances, we have sinned grievously against the laws of God and against
the people of Japan."—Commission on the Relation of the Church to the War in the
Light of the Christian Faith.
On p.438, Gar Alperowitz quotes James M. Gillis, editor of Catholic World, "I
would call it a crime were it not that the word 'crime' implies sin, and sin
requires a consciousness of guilt. The action taken by the Untied States
government was in defiance of every sentiment and every conviction upon which
our civilization is based."
One of the most vociferous critics of the atomic bombings was David Lawrence,
founder and editor of U.S. News and World Report. He signed a number of stinging
editorials, the first on August 17, 1945.
"Military necessity will be our constant cry in answer to criticism, but it
will never erase from our minds the simple truth, that we, of all civilized
nations, though hesitating to use poison gas, did not hesitate to employ the
most destructive weapon of all times indiscriminately against men, women and
children." On October 5, Lawrence continued his attack, "The United States
should be the first to condemn the atomic bomb and apologize for its use against
Japan. Spokesmen for the Army Air Forces said it wasn't necessary and that the
war had been won already. Competent testimony exists to prove that Japan was
seeking to surrender many weeks before the atomic bomb came." On November 23,
Lawrence wrote, "The truth is we are guilty. Our conscience as a nation must
trouble us. We must confess our sin. We have used a horrible weapon to
asphyxiate and cremate more than 100,000 men, women and children in a sort of
super-lethal gas chamber— and all this in a war already won or which spokesman
for our Air Forces tell us we could have readily won without the atomic bomb. We
ought, therefore, to apologize in unequivocal terms at once to the whole world
for our misuse of the atomic bomb."
David Lawrence was an avowed conservative, a successful businessman, who knew
eleven presidents of the United States intimately, and was awarded the Medal of
Freedom by President Richard M. Nixon, April 22, 1970.
ANOTHER EISENHOWER SPEAKS
Although Eisenhower never changed his opinion of the use of the atomic bomb,
during his presidency he repeatedly voiced his opinion, as quoted by Steve Neal,
The Eisenhowers Doubleday, 1978. P.225, "Ike would never lose his scepticism of
the weapon and later referred to it as a 'hellish contrivance'."
His brother, Milton Eisenhower, a prominent educator, was even more vocal on
this subject. As quoted by Gar Alperwitz, p.358, Milton Eisenhower said, "Our
employment of this new force at Hiroshima and Nagasaki was a supreme provocation
to other nations, especially the Soviet Union. Moreover, its use violated the
normal standards of warfare by wiping out entire populations, mostly civilians,
in the target cities. Certainly what happened at Hiroshima and Nagasaki will
forever be on the conscience of the American people."
During his Presidency, Dwight Eisenhower tried to find peaceful uses for
atomic energy. In
The Eisenhower Diaries, p.261, we find that "The phrase 'atoms
for peace' entered the lexicon of international affairs with a speech by
Eisenhower
before the United Nations December 8, 1953." Control of atomic energy had now
given the New World Order clique enormous power, and Eisenhower, in his farewell
speech to the American people on leaving the Presidency In Review (Doubleday,
1969), on January 17, 1961, warned, "In the councils of government we must guard
against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by
the miliary-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of
misplaced power exists and will persist."
By failing to name the power behind the military-industrial complex, the
international bankers, Eisenhower left the American people in the dark as to he
was actually warning them against. To this day they do not understand what he
was trying to say, that the international bankers, the Zionists and the
Freemasons had formed an unholy alliance whose money and power could not be
overcome by righteous citizens of the United States.
MACARTHUR'S WARNING
General Douglas MacArthur also tried to warn the American people of this
threat, as quoted in
American Ceaser, by William Manchester, Little Brown, 1978,
p.692, "In 1957, he lashed out at large Pentagon budgets. 'Our government has
kept us in a perpetual state of fear—kept us in a continuous stampede of
patriotic fervor—with the cry of grave national emergency. Always there has been
some terrible evil to gobble us up if we did not blindly rally behind it by
furnishing the exorbitant funds demanded. Yet, in retrospect, these disasters
seem never to have happened, seem never to have been quite real."
This was the restatement of Senator Vandenberg's famous comment, "We have to
scare the hell out of 'em."
THE NEW ATOMIC AGE
The scientists who had built the atomic bomb were gleeful when they received
the news of its success at Hiroshima and Nagasaki. In the book, Robert
Oppenheimer, Dark Prince, by Jack Rummel, 1992, we find, p.96, "Back in the
United States the news of the bombing of Hiroshima was greeted with a mixture of
relief, pride, joy, shock and sadness. Otto Frisch remembers the shouts of joy,
'Hiroshima has been destroyed!' 'Many of my friends were rushing to the
telephone to book tables at the La Fonda Hotel in Santa Fe in order to
celebrate. Oppenheimer walked around "like a prizefighter, clasping his hands
together above his head as he came to the podium".'"
Oppenheimer had been a lifelong Communist. "He was heavily influenced by
Soviet Communism ": A New Civilization, by Sidney and Beatrice Webb, the
founders of Fabian Socialism in England. He became director of research at the
newly formed U.S. Atomic Energy Commission, with his mentor, Bernard Baruch,
serving as chairman. Oppenheimer continued his many Communist Party
Associations; his wife was Kitty Peuning, widow of Joe Dallet, an American
Communist who had been killed defending Communism with the notorious Lincoln
Brigade in Spain. Because Oppenheimer was under Party discipline, the Party then
ordered him to marry Kitty Peuning and make a home for her.
Baruch resigned from the Atomic Energy Commission to attend to his business
interests.
He was replaced by Lewis Lichtenstein
Strauss, of Kuhn, Loeb Co. Strauss was apprised of Oppenheimer's many Communist
associations, but he decided to overlook them until he found that Oppenheimer
was sabotaging progress
on
developing the new and much more destructive hydrogen bomb. It seemed apparent
that Oppenheimer was delaying the hydrogen bomb until the Soviet Union could get
its own version on line. Furious at the betrayal, he asked Oppenheimer to resign
as director of the Commission. Oppenheimer refused. Strauss then ordered that he
be tried. A hearing was held from April 5 to May 6, 1954. After reviewing the
results, the Atomic Energy Commission voted to strip Oppenheimer of his security
clearance, ruling that he "possessed substantial defects of character and
imprudent dangerous associations with known subversives".
Oppenheimer retired to Princeton, where his mentor, Albert Einstein, presided
over the Institute for Advanced Study, a think tank for refugee "geniuses",
financed by the Rothschilds through one of their many secret foundations.
Oppenheimer was already a trustee of the Institute, were he remained until his
death in 1966.
THE REBIRTH OF ISRAEL
Einstein considered the atomic age merely as a stage for the rebirth of
Israel. On p.760 of
Einstein; His Life And Times we find that Abba Eban, the
Israeli Ambassador, came to his home with the Israeli consul, Reuben Dafni. He
later wrote, "Professor Einstein told me that he saw the rebirth of Israel as
one of the few political acts in his lifetime which had an essential moral
quality. He believed that the conscience of the world should, therefore, be
involved in Israel's preservation." by Ronald W. Clarke, Avon Books 1971.
On March 1, 1946, Army Air Force Contract No. MX-791 was signed, creating the
RAND Corporation as an official think tank, defining Project RAND as "a
continuing program of scientific study and research on the broad subject of air
warfare with the object of recommending to the Air Force preferred methods of
techniques and instrumentalities for this purpose." On May 14, 1948, RAND
Corporation funding was taken over by H. Rowan Gaither, head of the Ford
Foundation. This was done because the Air Force had sole control of the atomic
bomb, RAND Corp. developed the Air Force and atomic bomb program for the Cold
War, with the Strategic Air Command, the missile program, and many other
elements of the "terror strategy". It became a billion dollar game for these
scientists, with John von Neumann, their leading scientist, becoming world
famous as the inventor of "game theory", in which the United States and the
Soviet Union engaged in a worldwide "game" to see which would be the first to
attack the other with nuclear missiles. In the United States, the schools held
daily bomb drills, with the children hiding under their desks. No one told them
that thousands of schools children in Hiroshima had been incinerated in their
classrooms; the desks offered no protection against nuclear weapons. The moral
effect on the children was devastating. If they were to be vaporized in the next
ten seconds, there seemed little reason to study, marry and have children, or
prepare for a steady job. This demoralization through the nuclear weapons
program is the undisclosed reason for the decline in public morality.
In 1987, Phyllis LaFarge published
The Strangelove Legacy, The Impact Of The
Nuclear Threat On Children, chronicling through extended research the moral
devastation wreaked on the children by the daily threat of annihilation. She
quotes Freeman Dyson, who stated the world has been divided into two worlds, the
world of the warriors, and the world of the victims, the children. It was
William L. Laurence, sitting in the co-pilot's seat of a B-29 over Nagasaki, and
the children waiting to be vaporized below. This situation has not changed.
THE LEGAL ASPECTS OF NUCLEAR WARFARE
Because Japan was occupied by the U.S. Military in 1945, the Japanese
Government was never allowed any opportunity to file any legal charges about the
use of the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Although Japanese leaders
were tried and executed for "war crimes" no one was ever charged for the atomic
bombings. It was not until 1996 that the World Court delivered an opinion on the
use of nuclear weapons, (p.565, Hiroshima's Shadows) "In July 1996, the World
court took a stand in its first formal opinion on the legality of nuclear
weapons. Two years earlier, the United Nations had asked the Court for an
advisory opinion. The General Assembly of the United Nations posed a single, yet
profoundly basic, question for consideration. It the threat of use of nuclear
weapons on any circumstances permitted under international law? For the first
time, the world's pre-eminent judicial authority has considered the question of
criminality vis-a-vis the use of a nuclear weapon, and, in doing so, it has come
to the conclusion that the use of a nuclear weapon is 'unlawful'. It is also the
Court's view that even the threat of the use of a nuclear weapon is illegal.
Although there were differences concerning the implications of the right of
self-defense provided by Article 51 of the U.N. Charter, ten of the fourteen
judges hearing the case found the use of threat to use a nuclear weapon to be
illegal on the basis of the existing canon of humanitarian law which governs the
conduct of armed conflict. The judges based their opinion on more than a century
of treatise and conventions that are collectively known as the 'Hague' and
'Geneva' laws."
Thus the Court ruled that nuclear weapons are illegal under the Hague and
Geneva conventions , agreements which were in existence at the time of the
Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings. They were illegal then, and they are illegal
now.
GANDHI SPEAKS
Among world leaders who spoke out about the United States' use of atomic
weapons in Japan,
Mahatma Gandhi echoed the general climate of opinion. P.258, Hiroshima's
Shadow: "The atomic bomb has deadened the finest feelings which have sustained
mankind for ages. There used to be so-called laws of war which made it
tolerable. Now we understand the naked truth. War knows no law except that of
might. The atomic bomb brought an empty victory to the Allied armies. It has
resulted for the time being in the soul of Japan being destroyed. What has
happened to the soul of the destroying nation is yet too early to see. Truth
needs to be repeated as long as there are men who do not believe it."

Alamos bomb development, and when his Washington lackey, James F. Byrnes,

THE COURT OF INTERNATIONAL JUSTICE
Eustace C. Mullins, Ezra Pound World Peace Foundation Japanese-American
Friendship Society and the People of Japan,
Plaintiffs,
The United States Government, Defendant.
The plaintiffs bring this action before the World Court of International
Justice to resolve the following charges:
1. Defendant conspired to commit war crimes against the people of Japan
during World War II.
2. Defendant conspired to commit atrocities against the people of Japan
during World War II.
3. Defendant conspired to subsequently evade and cover up these crimes by
militarily occupying the nation of Japan, effectively preventing the people of
Japan from seeking legal recourse for the actions of defendant. Defendant
continues to militarily occupy Japan today, with 49,999 troops stationed there,
on the pretext that the Soviet Union might attack. This pretext ignores the
geopolitical fact that the Soviet Union collapsed in 1989 and does not pose a
threat to anyone.
4. Defendant conspired to commit crimes of genocide against the people of
Japan, motivated by racial hatred and religious bigotry.
5. Defendant violated the Hague agreements and the Geneva Convention, as
determined by the World Court in June 1996, by making war against civilians and
inflicting millions of casualties by firebombing Japanese cities and the atomic
bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II.
6. After committing these crimes, defendant conspired to cover up these
crimes by issuing a number of false statements, denying war crimes, and
distortions of fact to evade any punishment for these war crimes.
7. Defendant also conspired to conceal from the American people the
circumstances behind the commission of these war crimes, that a small group of
conspirators, refugees from Europe, came to the United States and infiltrated
the government of the United States, and in total secrecy launched the project
to manufacture an atomic bomb for use against Germany and Japan. At no time
during this conspiracy were the people of the United States aware of what was
taking place, nor consulted for their approval, in violation of
republican'principles and the Constitution of the United States.
8. Since World War II, defendant has conducted a worldwide program of
atomic terrorism, called atomic diplomacy, to ensure that its program continues
unabated, and without punishment.
9. Although Japan had been reduced to ashes by June 1945, defendant insisted
that an invasion was necessary, while ignoring peace tenders from Japan since
May 1945, and defendant further claimed that the American military would suffer
one million war dead while invading Japan, and that it was necessary to drop the
atomic bombs on Hiroshima, August 6, 1945, and Nagasaki, August 9, 1945. In
fact, as Admiral William D. Leahy pointed out in his book,
I Was There, "the
invasion itself was never authorized." General Dwight D. Eisenhower, Supreme
Military Commander, Admiral William D. Leahy, Air force General Curtis LeMay,
and many other American military leaders, made public statements that it was not
necessary to drop the atomic bombs. Political considerations dictated that it be
dropped on Japan, in order to test it on a living population, and, if possible,
to "tally" a million or more victims with the bombs, for the purpose of postwar
intimidation of all other nations.
10. The atomic bomb was the creation of a small group of European refugees,
whose efforts to develop such a bomb in Europe had been indignantly rejected.
Albert Einstein, the physicist, wrote a personal letter to President Franklin
D. Roosevelt, August 2, 1939, recommending that this bomb be built by
the United States. His letter was hand-delivered to Roosevelt by Alexander
Sachs, a Wall Street speculator. The atomic bomb program was directed from
behind the scenes by another Wall Street speculator, Bernard Baruch, an agent of
the Rothschilds. Baruch selected Major General Leslie Groves as the director of
the project, and J. Robert Oppenheimer as science director of the program.
Baruch continued to issue directives throughout the program, insisting to Major
General Groves that the city of Kyoto be the primary target of the atomic
bombs. Military leaders opposed this selection, pointing out that Kyoto was
the ancient capital of Japan, and a religious center with more than two hundred
ancient temples. Hiroshima and Nagasaki were finally chosen, although neither
of these cities offered a primary military target. Baruc
h continued to
dictate decisions on the atomic bomb, through the President's National Defense
Research Committee, chaired by Baruch's Washington representative, James F.
Byrnes.
11. After the devastation of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, defendant perpetrated a
number of outright falsehoods to avoid blame for these massacres of civilians.
The first was that the inhabitants were warned by leaflets dropped over the city
that an atomic bomb would be used. In fact, the leaflets were not dropped
until August 10, after the bombs had exploded. The President's
Committee had resolved on May 31, 1945 that "we could not give the Japanese any
warning." The second falsehood was that an invasion of Japan would be
necessary if the atomic bomb was not used; this would cost a million American
lives. Many leading American military authorities state this is absolutely
false. The third falsehood was that both cities were "key military targets".
President Truman boasted in his private papers that "in 1945 I had ordered the
atomic bomb dropped on Japan at two places devoted almost exclusively to war
production."
In fact, more than 95% of the dead at Hiroshima and Nagasaki were civilians.
Only 4.4% of the death toll was made up of military personnel. A fourth
falsehood, printed in the New York Times September 5, 1945, was that the victims
had suffered no radiation damage. This story was written by William L. Laurence,
the paid propagandist for the War Department with exclusive rights to material
on the atomic bomb. Laurence quoted Major General Groves that the Japanese "are
attempting to create sympathy for themselves".
12. The Legation of Switzerland in Tokyo forwarded to the defendant a
statement from the Japanese government, the complaint that "the city
of Hiroshima is a provincial town without any protection or military
installations of any kind, but also none of the neighboring regions or towns
constitutes a military objective." Observers on the scene recorded that
"strictly military damage was insignificant."
13. The most authoritative official United States unit during World War II
was the U.S. Strategic Bombing Survey, which selected targets and analyzed the
results of the bombings for the benefit of future missions. Their report of
July 1, 1946 states, "the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombs did not defeat Japan,
nor by the testimony of the enemy leaders who ended the war did they persuade
Japan to accept unconditional surrender. The Emperor, the lord privy seal, the
prime minister, the foreign minister, and the navy minister had decided as early
as May 1945 that the war should be ended even if it meant acceptance of defeat
on allied terms... It is the Survey's opinion that certainly prior to December
1, 1945, and in all probability prior to November 1, 1945, Japan would have
surrendered even if the atomic bombs had not been dropped and even if no
invasion had been planned or contemplated."
14. This proves that the destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were war
crimes deliberately committed, with foreknowledge that it was not necessary to
drop the atomic bombs on these two cities. As David Lawrence, founder and
editor of U.S. News And World Report, wrote in his editorial November 23, 1945,
"the truth is we are guilty. Our conscience as a nation must trouble us. We
must confess our sin. We have used a horrible weapon to asphyxiate and cremate
more than 100,000 men, women and children in a sort of super-lethal gas
chamber—and all this in a war already won or which spokesman for our Air Forces
tell us we could have readily won without the atomic bomb."
15. The world leader and pacifist Mahatma Gandhi spoke sadly about the
tragedy of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. "The atomic bomb has deadened the finest
feelings which have sustained mankind for ages. There used to be so-called
laws of war which made it tolerable. Now we understand the naked truth. War
knows no law except that of might. The atomic bomb brought an empty victory to
the Allied armies. It has resulted for the time being in the soul of Japan
being destroyed. What has happened to the soul of the destroying nation is yet
too early to see."
16. Defendant is in violation of the Geneva Convention. Protoc
ol 2, Scope
of Application of Humanitarian Law, states: 1. "International humanitarian law
is applicable to international armed conflicts. The international law of peace
existing between the states concerned will thus be large superseded by the rules
of international humanitarian law.... A state can not, therefore, be allowed
to invoke military necessity as a justification for upsetting that balance by
departing from those rules."
17. IV. Humanitarian Requirements and Military Necessity. "In war, a
belligerent many apply only that amount and kind of force necessary to defeat
the enemy. Acts of war are only permissible if they are directed against
military objectives, if they are not likely to cause unnecessary suffering, and
if they are not perfidious." The bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki clearly
falls outside the scope of this ruling, being civilian targets, the bombing
caused unnecessary suffering, and defendant's attempted
justification was openly perfidious.
18. 129. If an act of war is not expressly prohibited by international
agreements or customary law, this does not necessarily mean that it is actually
permissible. The so-called Martens Clause, developed by the Livonian professor
Friedrich von Martens (1845-1909) delegate of Tsar Nicholas II at the Hague
Peace Conferences, which has been included in the Preamble to the 1907 Hague
Convention IV and reaffirmed in the 1977 Additional Protocal I as stated below,
will always be applicable. In cases not covered by the Protocol or by other
international agreement, civilians and combatants remain under the protection
and authority of the principles of international law derived from established
custom, from the principles of humanity, and from the dictates of public
conscience. (Artl., pars. 2 AP 1; see also Preamble pars. 4 AP II)
19. Protocol I—Part IV. Section i. "....the obligation of the Parties to
the conflict to 'at all times distinguish between the civilian population and
combatants'." Article 48—Basic rule, "the prohibition of 'indiscriminate
attacks'." Article 51—Protection of the civilian population, paragraph 4, in
particular "an attack by bombardment by any method or means which treats as
a single military objective a number of clearly separated and distinct military
objectives, located in a city, town, village or other area containing a similar
concentration of civilians or civilian objects" (Article 51—Protection of the
civilian population paragraph 5 (a) and "an attack which may be expected to
cause incidental loss of civilian life, injury to civilians, damage to civilian
objects, or a combination thereof, which would be excessive in relation to the
concrete and direct military advantage anticipated (article 51—Protection of the
civilian population, paragraph 5 [b]).
20. Protocal I—Part IV, Section 1. "Protection of civilians from
arbitrary and oppressive enemy action, outlined in 1899, and later in 1907, was
expressed in its most complete form in the Fourth Geneva Convention of 1949,
which is now supplemented by this Protocol.
WHEREFORE, the plaintiffs respectfully move this Court to hear these charges
of conspiracy to commit war crimes and atrocities, conspiracy to cover up their
crimes, motivated by racial hatred and religious bigotry, and having intimidated
the government of Japan and prevented them from seeking any redress for these
crimes, and by defendant's ongoing program of atomic terrorism, perfidious
falsehoods, and their continuing conspiracy to cover up crimes of genocide, mass
murder and undue suffering among their victims, and that the Court shall hear
these charges, decide upon appropriate damages, and punishment for the
offenders.
