Is this the Greatest Crime in Human History?

Within the first two to four months of the bombings, the acute effects killed 90,000–166,000 people in Hiroshima and 60,000–80,000 in Nagasaki, with roughly half of the deaths in each city occurring on the first day.

Makes my stomach turn.

Pure Evil.

May everyone responsible for the manufacture and deployment of weapons of mass destruction on this planet burn in hellfire for eternity.

Why Hiroshima Was Destroyed by Eustace Mullins

And this belongs somewhere:

"I don't see any reason to be tasteful about Auschwitz. It's baloney, it's a legend. Once we admit the fact that it was a brutal slave labour camp and large numbers of people did die, as large numbers of innocent people died elsewhere in the war, why believe the rest of the baloney?" Irving said.

He added, "I say quite tastelessly, in fact, that more women died on the back seat of Edward Kennedy's car at Chappaquiddick than ever died in a gas chamber in Auschwitz."

He went on, "Oh, you think that's tasteless, how about this? There are so many Auschwitz survivors going around, in fact the number increases as the years go past, which is biologically very odd to say the least. Because I'm going to form an Association of Auschwitz survivors, survivors of the Holocaust and other liars, or the ASSHOLS."

(David Irving)

Japanese have a rather odd mentality.  IMO, it's a product of the combination of a collectivist culture and a lousy (Prussian style education) school system.

According to an article on the current Fukushima situation written from the perspective of Hiroshima, some survivors of Fukushima will face ostracism in Japan like the survivors of Hiroshima did.  Believe it or not, there is only one anti-nuclear group in Hiroshima, and many Japanese don't see a connection between Hiroshima and Fukushima - some quotes:

What may seem surprising right now is that the population of Hiroshima, admittedly 800 kilometres to the south, is not up in arms over what is happening at the Fukishima reactors.

There are few demonstrations in the streets, no mass movement against the nuclear industry, no finger pointing in the media...

It was the graduation ball for a local university.

I approached a group of them and asked how they were feeling about the Fukushima nuclear situation.

Were they furious with the government for letting this happen? Did they want heads to roll? Would they draw on their city's history to speak out about the nuclear threat?

"The source of the radiation was completely different," one girl said. "It was a bomb dropped, not a natural disaster like what happened in Fukushima. Our parents do not see a relationship between the two."

The consensus here was that the situation and the danger from radiation was not the same and that "we all have to work together" to get over the current disaster...

Kiyoshi Kajiwara, my white-gloved taxi driver who told me that he was eight when the bomb went off (his 17-year-old sister was never found), said I was right to try to talk to the mayor(of Hiroshima)

Was he surprised that the mayor didn't want to talk to me?

Not in the least. He cracked a smile: "Japan's nuclear industry is very big, and very powerful. Politicians are very aware of how nuclear energy powers the factories that create jobs."

It is estimated that 20 per cent of the people living in the Fukushima district have jobs linked to the troubled nuclear facility...

I remind Sakamoto that here we are standing right underneath where the bomb went off in 1945 and yet Japan is using nuclear reactors.

"Right now if we did not nuclear power plants," she says, "there would be no electricity, no lights, no trains."

She sighs. "I cannot say if that is evil or not. It is a difficult question. I know many people were exposed to radiation at the power plant site. But on the other hand many people get electricity from their sacrifices, right?"...

I met Keiko Ogura, an English-speaking survivor of the bomb at the officer of an organization called Hiroshima Interpreters for Peace.

Finally I had found an anti-nuclear power group in Hiroshima.

For her part, Ogura is openly defiant, furious with government and industry representatives who continue to push for more nuclear power plants.

She is also very worried about an issue that no one else here seems to be talking about: That those who have just been chased from their homes by radiation may soon be chased from mainstream Japanese society.

It happened after the bomb dropped in 1945.

Men did not want to marry survivors, known as hibakusha, because they believed that their babies would not be healthy.

Hibakusha literally means "explosion affected people" and in this close-knit society it is a highly judgemental term with far-reaching consequences.

"Many people will suffer whether or not they have been exposed to radiation," she says.

As she takes her leave, to meet with other A-bomb survivors and talk to schoolchildren at a museum, she says she prays that the Fukushima situation will not hurt more people.

Soon she will be off to her weekly protest demonstration outside the Chugoku power company headquarters in Hiroshima, which is just steps from the Peace Park.

Today the protestors are handing in a petition asking the company to stop building more plants.

"You never know what can happen," she says.

The crime is the bankers' system.  Hiroshima, Nagasaki, depleted uranium, agent orange, Dresden, etc. just the harvest.

The modern theory of the perpetuation of debt has drenched the earth with blood, and crushed its inhabitants under burdens ever accumulating. -Thomas Jefferson

The crime is the bankers' system.  Hiroshima, Nagasaki, depleted uranium, agent orange, Dresden, etc. just the harvest.

Which would not happen if the rank and file didn't cooperate.  The "system" is only half the equation.

Andie, are you suggesting that the public has essential details at their command and knowlngly alllows the bankers to rape, pillage, and plunder the planet?

I don't recall any public leaders advocating for a different system other than Kennedy, Lincoln, Pound, McFadden, Jackson and a maybe one or two others who were murdered, shot at, poisoned, or jailed.  Hitler has been recast as the ulitmate symbol of evil even though he correclty diagnosed the problem and took serious action to remedy.

It's like people blaming "you Americans" for the "America's foreign policy."  The man on the street has no clue that the mainstream media systematically lies, that the eudcation system has been perverted, the food system, etc.. 

Andie, are you suggesting that the public has essential details at their command and knowlngly alllows the bankers to rape, pillage, and plunder the planet?

That's a little simplistic.  Most situations are more complex than that. 

For example, a corrupt workplace like Goldman Sachs, or Congress.  Some know it's corrupt, and don't care as long as they are getting what they want. Some benefit, even though others are being driven out for political reasons, etc. Sort of go on grazing like a troupe of antelope whose one member got attacked, dragged off and eaten by a lion. They won't intervene because they are morally lazy and moreover, intervention MIGHT mean that they will lose their special concessions.  Hell, they might even get killed. And they're right. 

Standing against corruption takes some cajones.  Citizenship requires a certain responsiblity. Most people don't bother.  Thankfully, a small percentage do.
