A very popular movie in Japan was Pride, The Fateful Moment, which shows Prime Minister General Hideki Tojo in a favorablelight. With six others, he was hanged in 1968 as a war criminal. Duringhis trial, his lawyers stated to the International Tribunal for the FarEast, the Asian version of Nuremberg Trials, that Tojo’s war crimescould not begin to approach the dropping of the atomic bombs onHiroshima and Nagasaki. The prosecutors immediately objected, andcensored their statements. That was the last time there was any officialrecognition of the atomic bomb massacres in Japan. Japanese officialshave been effectively prevented from taking any stand on this matterbecause the American military occupation, whichofficially ended in 1952 with the Treaty with Japan, was quietlycontinued. Today, 49,000 American troops are still stationed in Japan,and there is no public discussion of the crimes of Hiroshima andNagasaki.

The Secret History Of The Atomic Bomb
SUBTITLE Why Hiroshima Was Destroyed – The Untold Story
By Eustace C. Mullins
June 1998
The world was stunned to learn that India has now tested nuclear weapons. For many years, all nations have been concernedabout the proliferation of atomic explosives. Even in their distress, noone seems to be interested in the historic or the psychological recordof why these weapons were developed, and what special breed of mankinddevoted 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 inthis subject, dormant for many years was suddenly rekindled during myannual lecture tour in Japan. My hosts had taken me to the city ofNagasaki for the first time. Without telling me their plans, theyentered the Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum. I thought it would be aninteresting experience, but, to my surprise, when I walked into theexhibition rooms, I was suddenly overcome by sadness. Realizing that Iwas about to burst into tears, I moved away from my companions, andstood biting my lip. Even so, it seemed impossible to control myself. Iwas surrounded by the most gruesome objects, the fingers ofa human hand fused with glass, a photograph of the shadow of a man on abrick 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. Ittook many weeks of research to uncover what turned out to be the mostfar-reaching conspiracy of all time, the program of a few dedicatedrevolutionaries to seize control of the entire world, by inventing thepowerful weapon ever unveiled.
The story begins in Germany. In the 1930s, Germany and Japan had a number of scientists icing on the development of nuclearfission. In both of these countries, their leaders sternly forbade themto continue their research. Adolf Hitler said he would never allowanyone 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 noone working on nuclear fission. The disgruntled German scientistscontacted friends in the United States, and were told that there was apossibility of government support for their work here. As Don Beyertells 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, agreedthat the President must be warned; fission bomb tehnology was not sofarfetched. The Jewish emigres, now living in America, had personalexperience of fascism in Europe. In 1939, the three physicists enlistedthe support of Albert Einstein, letter dated August 2 signed by Einsteinwas delivered by Alexander Sachs to Franklin D. Roosevelt at the WhiteHouse on October 11, 39.”
CRIMINALS ON DISPLAY
At the Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum, photographs of two men are prominently displayed; Albert Einstein, and J. RobertOppenheimer, who developed the atomic bomb at Los Alamos laboratories,New Mexico. Also on display is a statement from General Eisenhower, whowas then supreme Military Commander, which is found in number of booksabout Eisenhower, and which can be found on p.426, Eisenhower by StephenE. Ambrose, Simon & Shuster, NY, 1983.
“Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson first told Eisenhower of the bomb’s existence. Eisenhower was engulfed by “afeeling of depression’. When Stimson said the United States proposed touse the bomb against Japan, Eisenhower voiced ‘my grave misgivings,first on the basis of my belief that Japan was already defeated and thatdropping the bomb was completely unnecessary, and secondly because Ithought that our country should avoid shocking world opinion by the use(of atomic weapons).’ Stimson was upset by Eisenhower’s attitude ‘almostangrily refuting the reasons I gave for my quick conclusion’. Threedays later, Eisenhower flew to Berlin, where he met with Truman and hisprincipal advisors. AgainEisenhower 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 thehighest level of the United States government had already sworn to useagainst Japan, regardless of any military developments. Eisenhower couldnot have known that Stimson was a prominent member of Skull and Bonesat Yale, the Brotherhood of Death, founded by the Russell Trust in 1848as a bunch of the German Illuminati, or that they had played prominentroles in organizing wars and revolutions since that time. Nor could hehave known that President Truman had only had one job in his career, as aMasonic organizer for the State of Missouri, and that the lodges hebuilt up later sent him to theUnited 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 hadpreviously corresponded with Sigmund Freud about his projects of “peace”and “disarmament”, although Freud later said he did not believe thatEinstein ever accepted any of his theories. Einstein had a personalinterest in Freud’s work because his son Eduard spent his life in mentalinstitutions, undergoing both insulin therapy and electroshocktreatment, 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 byPresident and Mrs. Roosevelt. He was soon deeply involved with EleanorRoosevelt in her many leftwing causes, in which Einstein heartilyconcurred. Some of Einstein’s biographers hail the modern era as “theEinstein Revolution” and “the Age of Einstein”, possibly because he setin motion the program of nuclear fission in the United States. Hisletter to Roosevelt requesting that the government inaugurate an atomicbomb program was obviously stirred by his lifelong commitment to “peaceand disarmament”. His actual commitment was to Zionism; Ronald W. Clarkmentions in Einstein; His Life AndTimes, Avon, 1971, p.377, “He would campaign with the Zionists for aJewish homeland in Palestine.” On p.460, Clark quotes Einstein, “As aJew I am from today a supporter of the Jewish Zionist efforts.” (1919)Einstein’s letter to Roosevelt, dated august 2, 1939, was deliveredpersonally to President Roosevelt by Alexander Sachs on October 11. Whydid Einstein enlist an intermediary to bring this letter to Roosevelt,with whom he was on friendly terms? The atomic bomb program could not belaunched without the necessary Wall Street sponsorship. Sachs, aRussian Jew, listed his profession as “economist” but was actually abagman for the Rothschilds, who regularly delivered large sums of cashto Roosevelt in the White House. Sachs was an advisor to Eugene Meyer ofthe Lazard Freres International Banking House, and also with LehmanBrothers, another well known banker. Sachs’ delivery of the Einsteinletter to the White House let Rooseveltknow that the Rothschilds approved of the project and wished him to gofull 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 Charterfor the United Nations. Several of the principals retired for a privatemeeting in the exclusive Garden Room. The head of the United Statesdelegation 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 andCromwell, whose mentor, William Nelson Cromwell, had been called a“professional revolutionary” on the floor of Congress; and W. AverillHarriman, plenipotentiary extraordinary, whohad spent the last two years in Moscow directing Stalin’s war forsurvival. These four men represented the awesome power of the AmericanRepublic in world affairs, yet of the four, only Secretary of StateEdward Stettinius Jr., had a position authorized by the Constitution.Stettinius called the meeting to order to discuss an urgent matter; theJapanese were already privately suing for peace, which presented a gravecrisis. The atomic bomb would not be ready for several more months. “Wehave already lost Germany,” Stettinius said. “If Japan bows out, wewill 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,” saidStettinius, “our entire postwar program depends on terrifying the worldwith the atomic bomb.” “To accomplish that goal,” said John FosterDulles, “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 keepthem in the war until the bomb is ready,” said John Foster Dulles. “Thatis 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 thenaked fear of all the peoples of the world, who will then bow to ourwill.”
Edward Stettinius Jr. was the son of a J.P. Morgan partner who had been the world’s largest munitions dealer in the FirstWorld War. He had been named by J.P. Morgan to oversee all purchases ofmunitions by both France and England in the United States throughout thewar. John Foster Dulles was also an accomplished warmonger. In 1933, heand his brother Allen had rushed to Cologne to meet with Adolf Hitlerand guaranteed him the funds to maintain the Nazi regime. The Dullesbrothers were representing their clients, Kuhn Loeb Co., and theRothschilds. Alger Hiss was the golden prince of the communist elite inthe united States. When he was chosen as head of the prestigiousCarnegie Endowment for International Peace afterWorld War II, his nomination was seconded by John Foster Dulles. Hisswas later sent to prison for perjury for lying about his exploits as aSoviet espionage agent.
This secret meeting in the Garden Room was actually the first military strategy session of the United Nations, because itwas dedicated to its mission of exploding the world’s first atomicweapon on a living population. It also forecast the entire strategy ofthe Cold War, which lasted forty-three years, cost American taxpayersfive trillion dollars, and accomplished exactly nothing, as it wasintended to do. Thus we see that the New World Order has based itsentire strategy on the agony of the hundreds of thousands of civiliansburned alive at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, including many thousands ofchildren sitting in their schoolrooms. These leaders had learned fromtheir master, Josef Stalin, that no one can rule withoutmass terrorism, which in turn required mass murder. As SenatorVandenberg, leader of the Republican loyal opposition, was to say (asquoted in American Heritage magazine, August 1977), “We have got toscare 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 theManhattan Project, because its secret director, Bernard Baruch, lived inManhattan, as did many of the other principals. Baruch had chosen Maj.Gen. Leslie R. Groves to head the operation. He had previously built thePentagon, 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. InOppenheimer; the Years Of Risk, by James Kunetka, Prentice Hall, NY,1982, Kunetka writes, p. 106, “Baruch was especially interested inOppenheimer for the position of senior scientific adviser.” The projectcost an estimated two billion dollars. No other nation in the worldcould have afforded to develop such a bomb. The first successful test ofthe atomic bomb occurred at the Trinity site, two hundred miles southof 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, thisseemed to be the ultimate goal of the Manhattan Project, to destroy theworld. There had been considerable fear among the scientists that thetest explosion might indeed set off a chain reaction, which woulddestroy the entire world. Oppenheimer’s exultation came from hisrealization that now his people had attained the ultimate power, throughwhich they could implement their five-thousand- year desire to rule theentire 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 aprestigious group, The National Defense Research Committee, consistingof George L. Harrison, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of NewYork; Dr. James B. Conant, president of Harvard, who had spent the FirstWorld War developing more effective poison gases, and who in 1942 hadbeen commissioned by Winston Churchill to develop an Anthrax bomb to beused 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. Hisservice on Truman’s Committee which advised himto drop the atomic bomb on Japan, added to his previous record as achemical warfare professional, allowed me to describe him in papersfiled before the United States Court of Claims in 1957, as “the mostnotorious war criminal of the Second World War”. As Gauleiter of Germanyafter the war, he had ordered the burning of my book, The FederalReserve Conspiracy, ten thousand copies having been published inOberammergau, 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 beenknown as Bernard Baruch’s man in Washington. With his Wall Streetprofits, 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 pursestrings. Now Baruch was in a position to dictate to Truman, through hisman 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 theproject. He was Lipman Siew, a Lithuanian Jew who had come to the UnitedStates as a political refugee at the age of seventeen. He lived inBoston on Lawrence St., and decided to take the name of William L.Laurence. At Harvard, he became a close friend of James B. Conant andwas tutored by him. When Laurence went to New York, he was hired byHerbert Bayard Swope, editor of the New York World, who was known asBernard Baruch’s personal publicity agent. Baruch owned the World. In1930, Laurence accepted an offer from the New YorkTimes to become its science editor. He states in Who’s Who that he “wasselected by the heads of the atomic bomb project as sole writer andpublic relations.” How one could be a public relations writer for a topsecret project was not explained. Laurence was the only civilian presentat the historic explosion of the test bomb on July 16, 1945. Less than amonth later, he sat in the copilots seat of the B-29 on the fatefulNagasaki 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 theworld. Japan had been suing for peace. Each day it seemed less likelythat she could stay in the war. On March 9 and 10, 1945, 325 B-29s hadburned thirty-five square miles of Tokyo, leaving more than one hundredthousand Japanese dead in the ensuing firestorm. Of Japan’s 66 biggestcities, 59 had been mostly destroyed. 178 square miles of urbandwellings had been burned, 500,000 died in the fires, and now twentymillion Japanese were homeless. Only four cities had not been destroyed;Hiroshima, Kokura, Niigata, and Nagasaki. Their inhabitants had noinkling that they had been saved as target cities forthe experimental atomic bomb. Maj. Gen. Leslie Groves, at BernardBaruch’s insistence, had demanded that Kyoto be the initial target ofthe bomb. Secretary of War Stimson objected, saying that as the ancientcapital of Japan, the city of Kyoto had hundreds of historic woodentemples, and no military targets. The Jews wanted to destroy itprecisely because of its great cultural importance to the Japanesepeople.
THE HORROR OF HIROSHIMA
While the residents of Hiroshima continued to watch the B-29s fly overhead without dropping bombs on them, they had noinkling 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 thePentagon and the State Department to be alert for conciliatorygestures. The General predicted that the break would come from Tokyo,not the Japanese army. The General was right. A dovish coalition wasforming in the Japanese capital, and it was headed by Hirohito himself,who had concluded in the spring of 1945 that a negotiated peace was theonly way to end his nation’s agony. Beginning in early May, a six-mancouncil of Japanese diplomats explored ways to accommodate the Allies.The delegates informed top military officials that “our resistance isfinished”. [Endquoting]
On p.359, Gar Alperowitz quotes Brig. Gen. Carter W. Clarke, in charge of preparing the MAGIC summary in 1945, who stated in a1959 historical interview, “We brought them down to an abject surrenderthrough the accelerated sinking of their merchant marine and hungeralone, and when we didn’t need to do it, and knew we didn’t need to doit, 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 totallyinfluenced by Bernard Baruch’s man in Washington, James F. Byrnes. GarAlperowitz states, p. 196, “Byrnes spoke with the authorityof-personally represented- the president of the United States on allbomb-related matters in the Interim Committee’s deliberations.” DavidMcCullough, in his laudatory biography of Truman, which was described as“a valentine”, admitted that “Truman didn’t know his own Secretary ofState, Stettinius. He had no background in foreign policy, no expertadvisors of his own.”
The tragedy of Hiroshima and Nagasaki was that a weak, inexperienced president, completely under the influence of Byrnes andBaruch, allowed himself to be manipulated into perpetrating a terriblemassacre. In the introduction to Hiroshima’s Shadows, we find that“Truman was moving in quite the opposite direction, largely under theinfluence of Byrnes. The atom bomb for Byrnes was an instrument ofdiplomacy-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 maximumexplosive effect. It devastated four square miles, and killed 140,000 ofthe 255,000 inhabitants. In Hiroshima’s Shadows, we find a statement bya doctor who treated some of the victims; p.415, Dr. Shuntaro Hida: “Itwas strange to us that Hiroshima had never been bombed, despite thefact that B-29 bombers flew over the city every day. Only after the wardid I come to know that Hiroshima, according to American archives, hadbeen kept untouched in order to preserve it as a target for the use ofnuclear weapons. Perhaps, if the American administration and itsmilitary authorities had paid sufficientregard to the terrible nature of the fiery demon which mankind haddiscovered and yet knew so little about its consequences, the Americanauthorities might never have used such a weapon against the 750,000Japanese 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 spoketo myself and bit my lip so that I would not cry. If I had cried, Iwould have lost my courage to keep standing and working, treating dyingvictims of Hiroshima.”
On p.433, Hiroshima’s Shadows, Kensaburo Oe declares, “From the instant the atomic bomb exploded, it became the symbol of allhuman evil; it was a savagely primitive demon and most modern curse…. Mynightmare stems from a suspicion that a ‘certain trust in humanstrength’ or ‘humanism’ flashed across the minds of Americanintellectuals who decided upon the project that concluded with thedropping 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 warnedby leaflets that an atomic bomb would be dropped. The leaflets LeonardNadler and William P. Jones recall seeing in the Hiroshima Museum in1960 and 1970 were dropped after the bombing. This happened because thePresident’s Interim Committee on the Atomic Bomb decided on May 31 ‘thatwe could not give the Japanese any warning’. Furthermore, the decisionto drop ‘atomic’ leaflets on Japanese cities was not made until August7, the day after the Hiroshima bombing. They were not dropped untilAugust 10, after Nagasaki had been bombed. We can say that the residentsof Hiroshima received noadvance warning about the use of the atomic bomb. On June 1, 1945, aformal and official decision was taken during a meeting of the so-calledInterim Committee not to warn the populations of the specific targetcities. James Byrnes and Oppenheimer insisted that the bombs must beused without prior warning.”
“Closely linked to the question of whether a warning of an atomic bomb attack was given to the civilian populations of thetarget cities is the third ‘article of fifth’ that underpins theAmerican legend of Hiroshima; the belief that Hiroshima and Nagasakiwere military targets. The Headquarters of the Japanese Second army werelocated in Hiroshima and approximately 20,000 men-of which about half,or 10,000 died in the attack. In Nagasaki, there were about 150 deathsamong 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 toreconcile this statement with Harry Truman’s vainglorious boast in OffThe 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 placesdevoted almost exclusively to war production.” In fact, many thousandsof 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 inon these meetings. Maj. Gen. Groves seems to have been the author of theclaim that the use of the bomb would save a million American lives–afigure 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. Grovesfigure 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 salaryfrom the War Department as the “public relations agent for the atomicbomb” published several stories in the New York Times denying that therehad been any radiation effects on the victims of the Hiroshima bombing(Sept. 5, 1945 et seq.) in which he quotes General Groves’ indignantcomment, “The Japanese are still continuing their propaganda aimed atcreating the impression we won the war unfairly and thus attempting tocreate 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 theJapanese Government.’ On August 6, 1945, American airplanes released onthe residential district of the town of Hiroshima, bombs of a new type,killing and injuring in one second a large number of civilians anddestroying a great part of the town. Not only is the city of Hiroshima aprovincial town without any protection or special militaryinstallations of any kind, but also none of the neighboring regions ortowns constitutes a militaryobjective.”
The introduction to Hiroshima’s Shadows concludes that (p.lxvii) “The claim that an invasion of the Japanese home islands wasnecessary without the use of the atomic bombs is untrue. The claim thatan ‘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 aHiroshima Pilot”, (p.9) “As part of the Hiroshima atomic battle plan myB-29 (named Jabbitt III, Captain John Abbott Wilson’s third war plane)flew the weather observation mission over the secondary target of Kokuraon August 6, 1945.” (p. 10) “After the first bomb was dropped, the atombomb command was very fearful that Japan might surrender before wecould drop the second bomb, so our people worked around the clock,24-hours-a-day to avoid such a misfortune.” This is, of course, satireon Carrington’s part. (p. 13) “in city after city all over the face ofJapan (except for our citiesspared because reserved for atomic holocaust) they ignited the mostterrible firestorms in history with very light losses (of B-29s).Sometimes the heat from these firestorms was so intense that later wavesof B-29s were caught by updrafts strong enough to loft them upwardsfrom 4 or 5,000 feet all the way up to 8 or 10,000 feet. The major toldus that the fire-bombing of Japan had proven successful far beyondanything they had imagined possible and that the 20th Air Force wasrunning out of cities to burn. Already there were no longer (as of the first week inJune 1945) any target cities left that were worth the attention of morethan 50 B-29s, and on a big day, we could send up as many as 450planes!” “The totality of the devastation in Japan was extraordinary,and this was matched by the near-totality of Japan’sdefencelessness.” (as of June 1, 1945, before the atomic bombs weredropped.) (p. 14) “The Truman government censored and controlled all thewar information that was allowed to reach the public, and of course,Truman had a vested interest in obscuring the truth so as tosurreptitiously prolong the war and be politically able to use the atombomb. Regarding the second element of the Roosevelt-Truman atomic ColdWar strategy of deceiving the public into believing that Japan was stillmilitarily viable in the spring and summer of 1945, the centerpiece wasthe terribly expensive and criminally unnecessary campaign againstOkinawa.
Carrington quotes Admiral William D. Leahy, p. 245, I Was There, McGraw Hill: “A large part of the Japanese Navy was alreadyon the bottom of the sea. The combined Navy surface and air force actioneven by this time had forced Japan into a position that made her earlysurrender inevitable. None of us then knew the potentialities of theatomic bomb, but it was my opinion, and I urged it strongly on the JointChiefs, that no major land invasion of the Japanese mainland wasnecessary to win the war. The JCS did order the preparation of plans foran 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 ofthe Okinawa campaign was exclusively related to the early Augusttimetable of the atomic bomb. J’accuse! I accuse Presidents FranklinRoosevelt and Harry Truman of deliberately committing war crimes againstthe American people for the sole purpose of helping set the stage forthe 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 atHiroshima and Nagaski was of no material assistance in our war againstJapan. The Japanese were already defeated and ready to surrender becauseof the effective sea blockade and the successful bombing withconventional weapons.”
Carrington concludes, p.22, “Truman’s wanton use of atomic weapons left the American people feeling dramatically less secureafter winning World War II than they had ever felt before, and thesefeelings of insecurity have been exploited by unscrupulous Cold WarMachine Politicians ever since.” As Senator Vandenberg said, “We have toscare the hell out of ‘em” in order to browbeat the American peopleinto 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 hadadopted an ethical standard common to the Barbarism of the Dark Ages. Iwas not taught to make war in that fashion, and wars cannot be won bydestroying 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 onMay 18, July 7, July 13 and July 16.”
Alperowitz points out, p.36, “The standing United States demand for ‘unconditional surrender’ directly threatened not onlythe person of the Emperor but such central tenets of Japanese cultureas well.”
Alperowitz also quotes General Curtis LeMay, chief of the Air Forces, p.334, “The war would have been over in two weekswithout the Russians entering and without the atomic bomb. PRESSINQUIRY: You mean that, sir? Without the Russians and without the atomicbomb? LeMay: The atomic bomb had nothing to do with the end of the warat 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 theB-29, pretending to be Dr. Strangelove, here again the principal targetwas 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 thekneeling worshippers. All of them died.” This church has now beenrebuilt, 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 werefound guilty of war crimes by an International Military Tribunal whichmet in Tokyo from 1946 to 1948. Twenty-eight Japanese military andcivilian leaders were accused of having engaged in conspiracy to commitatrocities. The dissenting member of the Tokyo tribunal, JudgeRadhabinod of India, dismissed the charge that Japanese leaders hadconspired to commit atrocities, stating that a stronger case might bemade against the victors, because the decision to use the atomic bombresulted in indiscriminatemurder.
A very popular movie in Japan today is Pride, The Fateful Moment, which shows Prime Minister General Hideki Tojo in afavorable light. With six others, he was hanged in 1968 as a warcriminal. During his trial, his lawyers stated to the InternationalTribunal for the Far East, the Asian version of Nuremberg Trials, thatTojo’s war crimes could not begin to approach the dropping of the atomicbombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The prosecutors immediately objected,and censored their statements. That was the last time there was anyofficial recognition of the atomic bomb massacres in Japan. Japaneseofficials have been effectively prevented from taking any stand on thismatter because the American military occupation, whichofficially ended in 1952 with the Treaty with Japan, was quietlycontinued. Today, 49,000 American troops are still stationed in Japan,and there is no public discussion of the crimes of Hiroshima andNagasaki.
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 thebasis of need, and which analyzed the results for future missions. InHiroshima’s Shadow, the U.S. Strategic Bombing Survey report of July 1,1946 states, “The Hiroshima and Nagasaki atomic bombs did not defeatJapan, nor by the testimony of the enemy leaders who ended the war didthey persuade Japan to accept unconditional surrender. The Emperor, thelord privy seal, the prime minister, the foreign minister, and the navyminister had decided as early as May 1945 that the war should be endedeven if it meant acceptance of defeat on allied terms…. It is theSurvey’s opinion that certainlyprior to December 1, 1945 and in all probability prior to November 1,1945, Japan would have surrendered even if the atomic bombs had not beendropped 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 FederalCouncil of the Churches of Christ in America issued a formal statementin March 1946 (cited by Gar Alperowitz):
“The surprise bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki are morally indefensible. Both bombings must be judged to have beenunnecessary for winning the war. As the power that first used the atomicbomb under these circumstances, we have sinned grievously against thelaws of God and against the people of Japan.”-Commission on the Relationof 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 theword ‘crime’ implies sin, and sin requires a consciousness of guilt. Theaction taken by the Untied States government was in defiance of everysentiment 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 WorldReport. He signed a number of stinging editorials, the first on August17, 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 timesindiscriminately against men, women and children.” On October 5,Lawrence continued his attack, “The United States should be the first tocondemn the atomic bomb and apologize for its use against Japan.Spokesmen for the Army Air Forces said it wasn’t necessary and that thewar had been won already. Competent testimony exists to provethat Japan was seeking to surrender many weeks before the atomic bombcame.” On November 23, Lawrence wrote, “The truth is we are guilty. Ourconscience as a nation must trouble us. We must confess our sin. We haveused 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 thisin a war already won or which spokesman for our Air Forces tell us wecould have readily won without the atomic bomb. We ought, therefore, toapologize in unequivocal terms at once to the whole world for our misuseof the atomic bomb.”
David Lawrence was an avowed conservative, a successful businessman, who knew eleven presidents of the United Statesintimately, 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 hisopinion, as quoted by Steve Neal, The Eisenhowers Doubleday, 1978.P.225, “Ike would never lose his scepticism of the weapon and laterreferred 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 Hiroshimaand Nagasaki was a supreme provocation to other nations, especially theSoviet Union. Moreover, its use violated the normal standards of warfareby wiping out entire populations, mostly civilians, in the targetcities. Certainly what happened at Hiroshima and Nagasaki will foreverbe 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, wefind that “The phrase ‘atoms for peace’ entered the lexicon ofinternational affairs with a speech by Eisenhower before the UnitedNations December 8, 1953.” Control of atomic energy had now given theNew World Order clique enormous power, and Eisenhower, in his farewellspeech to the American people on leaving the Presidency In Review(Doubleday, 1969), on January 17, 1961, warned, “In the councils ofgovernment we must guard against the acquisition of unwarrantedinfluence, whether sought or unsought, by the miliary-industrialcomplex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplacedpower exists and will persist.”
By failing to name the power behind the military-industrial complex, the international bankers, Eisenhower leftthe American people in the dark as to he was actually warning themagainst. To this day they do not understand what he was trying to say,that the international bankers, the Zionists and the Freemasons hadformed an unholy alliance whose money and power could not be overcome byrighteous 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 WilliamManchester, Little Brown, 1978, p.692, “In 1957, he lashed out at largePentagon budgets. ‘Our government has kept us in a perpetual state offear-kept us in a continuous stampede of patriotic fervor-with the cryof grave national emergency. Always there has been some terrible evil togobble us up if we did not blindly rally behind it by furnishing theexorbitant funds demanded. Yet, in retrospect, these disasters seemnever 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 andNagasaki. In the book, Robert Oppenheimer, Dark Prince, by Jack Rummel,1992, we find, p.96, “Back in the United States the news of the bombingof Hiroshima was greeted with a mixture of relief, pride, joy, shock andsadness. Otto Frisch remembers the shouts of joy, ‘Hiroshima has beendestroyed!’ ‘Many of my friends were rushing to the telephone to booktables at the La Fonda Hotel in Santa Fe in order to celebrate.Oppenheimer walked around “like a prizefighter, clasping his handstogether 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 Sidneyand Beatrice Webb, the founders of Fabian Socialism in England. Hebecame director of research at the newly formed U.S. Atomic EnergyCommission, with his mentor, Bernard Baruch, serving as chairman.Oppenheimer continued his many Communist Party Associations; his wifewas Kitty Peuning, widow of Joe Dallet, an American Communist who hadbeen killed defending Communism with the notorious Lincoln Brigade inSpain. Because Oppenheimer was under Party discipline, the Party thenordered 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 LichtensteinStrauss, of Kuhn, Loeb Co. Strauss was apprised of Oppenheimer’s manyCommunist associations, but he decided to overlook them until he foundthat Oppenheimer was sabotaging progress on developing the new and muchmore destructive hydrogen bomb. It seemed apparent that Oppenheimer wasdelaying the hydrogen bomb until the Soviet Union could get its ownversion on line. Furious at the betrayal, he asked Oppenheimer to resignas director of the Commission. Oppenheimer refused. Strauss thenordered that he be tried. A hearing was held from April 5 to May 6,1954. After reviewing the results, the AtomicEnergy Commission voted to strip Oppenheimer of his security clearance,ruling that he “possessed substantial defects of character andimprudent dangerous associations with known subversives”.
Oppenheimer retired to Princeton, where his mentor, Albert Einstein, presided over the Institute for Advanced Study, a thinktank for refugee “geniuses”, financed by the Rothschilds through one oftheir many secret foundations. Oppenheimer was already a trustee of theInstitute, 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 wefind that Abba Eban, the Israeli Ambassador, came to his home with theIsraeli consul, Reuben Dafni. He later wrote, “Professor Einstein toldme that he saw the rebirth of Israel as one of the few political acts inhis lifetime which had an essential moral quality. He believed that theconscience of the world should, therefore, be involved in Israel’spreservation.” 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 andresearch on the broad subject of air warfare with the object ofrecommending to the Air Force preferred methods of techniques andinstrumentalities for this purpose.” On May 14, 1948, RAND Corporationfunding was taken over by H. Rowan Gaither, head of the Ford Foundation.This was done because the Air Force had sole control of the atomicbomb, RAND Corp. developed the Air Force and atomic bomb program for theCold War, with the Strategic Air Command, the missile program, and manyother elements of the “terror strategy”. Itbecame a billion dollar game for these scientists, with John vonNeumann, their leading scientist, becoming world famous as the inventorof “game theory”, in which the United States and the Soviet Unionengaged in a worldwide “game” to see which would be the first to attackthe other with nuclear missiles. In the United States, the schools helddaily bomb drills, with the children hiding under their desks. No onetold them that thousands of schools children in Hiroshima had beenincinerated in their classrooms; the desks offered no protection againstnuclear weapons. The moral effect on the children was devastating. Ifthey were to be vaporized in the next ten seconds, there seemed littlereason to study, marry and have children, or prepare for a steady job.This demoralization through the nuclear weapons program is theundisclosed reason for the decline in public morality.
In 1987, Phyllis LaFarge published The Strangelove Legacy, The Impact Of The Nuclear Threat On Children, chroniclingthrough extended research the moral devastation wreaked on the childrenby the daily threat of annihilation. She quotes Freeman Dyson, whostated the world has been divided into two worlds, the world of thewarriors, 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, andthe children waiting to be vaporized below. This situation has notchanged.
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 fileany legal charges about the use of the atomic bombs on Hiroshima andNagasaki. Although Japanese leaders were tried and executed for “warcrimes” no one was ever charged for the atomic bombings. It was notuntil 1996 that the World Court delivered an opinion on the use ofnuclear weapons, (p.565, Hiroshima’s Shadows) “In July 1996, the Worldcourt took a stand in its first formal opinion on the legality ofnuclear weapons. Two years earlier, the United Nations had asked theCourt for an advisory opinion. The General Assembly of the UnitedNations posed a single, yet profoundly basic, questionfor consideration. It the threat of use of nuclear weapons on anycircumstances permitted under international law? For the first time, theworld’s pre-eminent judicial authority has considered the question ofcriminality vis-a-vis the use of a nuclear weapon, and, in doing so, ithas 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 useof a nuclear weapon is illegal. Although there were differencesconcerning the implications of the right of self-defense provided byArticle 51 of the U.N. Charter, ten of the fourteen judges hearing thecase found the use of threat to use a nuclear weapon to be illegal onthe basis of the existing canon of humanitarian law which governs theconduct of armed conflict. The judges based their opinion on more than acentury 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 inexistence at the time of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings. They wereillegal 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 thegeneral climate of opinion. P.258, Hiroshima’s Shadow: “The atomic bombhas deadened the finest feelings which have sustained mankind for ages.There used to be so-called laws of war which made it tolerable. Now weunderstand the naked truth. War knows no law except that of might. Theatomic bomb brought an empty victory to the Allied armies. It hasresulted for the time being in the soul of Japan being destroyed. Whathas happened to the soul of the destroying nation is yet too early tosee. Truth needs to be repeated as long as there are men who do notbelieve it.”

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 recoursefor the actions of defendant. Defendant continues to militarily occupyJapan today, with 49,999 troops stationed there, on the pretext that theSoviet Union might attack. This pretext ignores the geopolitical factthat the Soviet Union collapsed in 1989 and does not pose a threat toanyone.
4. Defendant conspired to commit crimes of genocide against the people of Japan, motivated by racial hatred and religiousbigotry.
5. Defendant violated the Hague agreements and the Geneva Convention, as determined by the World Court in June 1996, bymaking war against civilians and inflicting millions of casualties byfirebombing Japanese cities and the atomic bombing of Hiroshima andNagasaki 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 forthese war crimes.
7. Defendant also conspired to conceal from the American people the circumstances behind the commission of these warcrimes, that a small group of conspirators, refugees from Europe, cameto the United States and infiltrated the government of the UnitedStates, and in total secrecy launched the project to manufacture anatomic bomb for use against Germany and Japan. At no time during thisconspiracy were the people of the United States aware of what was takingplace, nor consulted for their approval, in violation ofrepublican’principle s and the Constitution of the United States.
8. Since World War II, defendant has conducted a worldwide program of atomic terrorism, called atomic diplomacy, toensure 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 ignoringpeace tenders from Japan since May 1945, and defendant further claimedthat the American military would suffer one million war dead whileinvading Japan, and that it was necessary to drop the atomic bombs onHiroshima, August 6, 1945, and Nagasaki, August 9, 1945. In fact, asAdmiral William D. Leahy pointed out in his book, I Was There, “theinvasion itself was never authorized.” General Dwight D. Eisenhower,Supreme Military Commander, Admiral William D. Leahy, Air force GeneralCurtis LeMay, and many other American military leaders, made publicstatements that it was not necessary to drop theatomic bombs. Political considerations dictated that it be dropped onJapan, 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 ofpostwar 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 hadbeen indignantly rejected. Albert Einstein, the physicist, wrote apersonal letter to President Franklin D. Roosevelt, August 2, 1939,recommending that this bomb be built by the United States. His letterwas hand-delivered to Roosevelt by Alexander Sachs, a Wall Streetspeculator. The atomic bomb program was directed from behind the scenesby another Wall Street speculator, Bernard Baruch, an agent of theRothschilds. Baruch selected Major General Leslie Groves as the directorof the project, and J. Robert Oppenheimer as science director of theprogram. Baruch continued to issue directivesthroughout the program, insisting to Major General Groves that the cityof Kyoto be the primary target of the atomic bombs. Military leadersopposed this selection, pointing out that Kyoto was the ancient capitalof Japan, and a religious center with more than two hundred ancienttemples. Hiroshima and Nagasaki were finally chosen, although neither ofthese cities offered a primary military target. Baruch continued todictate decisions on the atomic bomb, through the President’s NationalDefense Research Committee, chaired by Baruch’s Washingtonrepresentative, James F. Byrnes.
11. After the devastation of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, defendant perpetrated a number of outright falsehoods to avoid blame forthese massacres of civilians. The first was that the inhabitants werewarned by leaflets dropped over the city that an atomic bomb would beused. In fact, the leaflets were not dropped until August 10, after thebombs had exploded. The President’s Committee had resolved on May 31,1945 that “we could not give the Japanese any warning.” The secondfalsehood was that an invasion of Japan would be necessary if the atomicbomb was not used; this would cost a million American lives. Manyleading American military authorities state this is absolutely false.The third falsehood was that both citieswere “key military targets”. President Truman boasted in his privatepapers that “in 1945 I had ordered the atomic bomb dropped on Japan attwo 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 ofmilitary personnel. A fourth falsehood, printed in the New York TimesSeptember 5, 1945, was that the victims had suffered no radiationdamage. This story was written by William L. Laurence, the paidpropagandist for the War Department with exclusive rights to material onthe 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 complaintthat “the city of Hiroshima is a provincial town without any protectionor military installations of any kind, but also none of the neighboringregions or towns constitutes a military objective.” Observers on thescene 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, whichselected targets and analyzed the results of the bombings for thebenefit of future missions. Their report of July 1, 1946 states, “theHiroshima and Nagasaki bombs did not defeat Japan, nor by the testimonyof the enemy leaders who ended the war did they persuade Japan to acceptunconditional surrender. The Emperor, the lord privy seal, the primeminister, the foreign minister, and the navy minister had decided asearly as May 1945 that the war should be ended even if it meantacceptance of defeat on allied terms… It is the Survey’s opinion thatcertainly prior to December 1, 1945, and in allprobability prior to November 1, 1945, Japan would have surrenderedeven if the atomic bombs had not been dropped and even if no invasionhad been planned or contemplated.”
14. This proves that the destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were war crimes deliberately committed, with foreknowledge thatit was not necessary to drop the atomic bombs on these two cities. AsDavid Lawrence, founder and editor of U.S. News And World Report, wrotein his editorial November 23, 1945, “the truth is we are guilty. Ourconscience as a nation must trouble us. We must confess our sin. We haveused 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 thisin a war already won or which spokesman for our Air Forces tell us wecould 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 hasdeadened the finest feelings which have sustained mankind for ages.There used to be so-called laws of war which made it tolerable. Now weunderstand the naked truth. War knows no law except that of might. Theatomic bomb brought an empty victory to the Allied armies. It hasresulted for the time being in the soul of Japan being destroyed. Whathas happened to the soul of the destroying nation is yet too early tosee.”
16. Defendant is in violation of the Geneva Convention. Protocol 2, Scope of Application of Humanitarian Law,states: 1. “International humanitarian law is applicable tointernational armed conflicts. The international law of peace existingbetween the states concerned will thus be large superseded by the rulesof international humanitarian law…. A state can not, therefore, beallowed to invoke military necessity as a justification for upsettingthat balance by departing from those rules.”
17. IV. Humanitarian Requirements and Military Necessity. “In war, a belligerent many apply only that amount and kindof force necessary to defeat the enemy. Acts of war are only permissibleif they are directed against military objectives, if they are notlikely to cause unnecessary suffering, and if they are not perfidious.”The bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki clearly falls outside the scope ofthis ruling, being civilian targets, the bombing caused unnecessarysuffering, and defendant’s attempted justification was openlyperfidious.
18. 129. If an act of war is not expressly prohibited by international agreements or customary law, this does not necessarilymean 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 hasbeen included in the Preamble to the 1907 Hague Convention IV andreaffirmed in the 1977 Additional Protocal I as stated below, willalways be applicable. In cases not covered by the Protocol or by otherinternational agreement, civilians and combatants remain under theprotection and authority of the principles of international law derivedfrom established custom, from the principles ofhumanity, and from the dictates of public conscience. (Artl., pars. 2AP 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 thecivilian population and combatants’.” Article 48-Basic rule, “theprohibition of ‘indiscriminate attacks’.” Article 51-Protection of thecivilian population, paragraph 4, in particular “an attack bybombardment by any method or means which treats as a single militaryobjective a number of clearly separated and distinct militaryobjectives, located in a city, town, village or other area containing asimilar concentration of civilians or civilian objects” (Article51-Protection of the civilian population paragraph 5 (a) and “an attackwhich may be expected to cause incidentalloss of civilian life, injury to civilians, damage to civilian objects,or a combination thereof, which would be excessive in relation to theconcrete and direct military advantage anticipated (article51-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 FourthGeneva 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 andatrocities, conspiracy to cover up their crimes, motivated by racialhatred and religious bigotry, and having intimidated the government ofJapan and prevented them from seeking any redress for these crimes, andby defendant’s ongoing program of atomic terrorism, perfidiousfalsehoods, and their continuing conspiracy to cover up crimes ofgenocide, mass murder and undue suffering among their victims, and thatthe Court shall hear these charges, decide upon appropriate damages, andpunishment for the offenders.
Respectfully submitted,
Eustace C. Mullins
