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,
the 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
their 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 forwarded
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
Nagasaki 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
skepticism 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 military-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."

Cast of Characters:
The House of Rothschild; international bankers who made enormous
profits during the nineteenth century, and used their money to take
over governments.
Bernard Baruch: New York agent of
the Rothschilds who at the turn of the century set up the tobacco
trust, the copper trust and other trusts for the Rothschilds. He
became the grey eminence of the United States atomic bomb program
when his lackey, J. Robert Oppenheimner, became director of the Los
Alamos bomb development, and when his Washington lackey, James F.
Byrnes, advised Truman to drop the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and
Nagasaki.
Albert Einstein; lifelong Zionist
who initiated the United States' atomic bomb program with a personal
letter to President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1939.

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. Baruch
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. Protocol 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 Protocol 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. Protocol 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.
