Indirectly history has a habit of rhyming!
August 1942, the Manhattan Project was underway.
By 1944, six thousand scientists and engineers from leading universities and industrial research labs were at work on the development of the world’s first-ever nuclear weapon. Robert Oppenheimer, a physicist, headed the Los Alamos National Laboratory, the Manhattan Project’s principal research and development facility. For security reasons, the facility was located in the desert near Los Alamos, New Mexico.
Major General Leslie Groves oversaw the Manhattan Project for the US government. Private corporations, foremost among them DuPont, helped prepare weapons-grade uranium and other components needed to make the bombs. Nuclear materials were processed in reactors located in Oak Ridge, Tennessee and Hanford, Washington. At its peak, the Manhattan Project employed 130,000 Americans at thirty-seven facilities across the country.
On July 16, 1945 the first nuclear bomb was detonated in the early morning darkness at a military test-facility at Alamogordo, New Mexico. The intense brightness of the explosion’s flash was followed by the rise of a large mushroom cloud from the desert floor. House windows more than fifty miles away shattered.
Well maybe not years.
More than 3,400 tons of explosives were dropped on the city by 800 American and British aircraft killing roughly 25,000 people.
Some estimates exceed 100,000 dead, mostly women and children, comparable to the fire bombing of Tokyo (napalm bombs which were proven more effective for wooden houses in residential sections) during the night of March 9th-10th, 1945, killing over 100,000 civilians .
Both Dresden bombing and fire bombing of Tokyo roughly correspond to the Jooish festival of Purim during which mass murder of innocent women and children in ancient Persia is celebrated.
Eight square miles of the city was ruined, and the total body count was between 22,700 and 25,000 dead, according to a report published by the city of Dresden in 2010.
On 13 February 1945, British aircraft launched an attack on the eastern German city of Dresden. In the days that followed, they and their US allies would drop nearly 4,000 tons of bombs in the assault.
The ensuing firestorm killed 25,000 people, ravaging the city centre, sucking the oxygen from the air and suffocating people trying to escape the flames.
A widely accepted estimate is 35,000 killed during the 37 hours of terror. Rival claims go far higher. The German government, however, proposes 25,000 as a defensible guess. Since so many victims were immolated after the attacks, we will likely never know the precise number.
Maybe it was 250K.
Ah yes, to the victors also gets to write history, unless of course you are Herodotus and are canonizing mythical heroes such as Leonidas, therefore has a license to embellish the truth.
You can’t trust anything coming out of Germany today, given its total subjugation by the international banking cartel. There were many transient German refugees in Dresden fleeing their homes in the east who perished without any record during that night.
In Tokyo, there were no transient people during the bombing. Therefore, it was more or less clear who disappeared. It was an unusually cold night and water was already freezing in the evening. Nonetheless, many boiled to death after jumping into the river as the fires spread and there was no escape.
The irony of Hiroshima was that it was a safe place because all B29s just flew over without dropping a bomb. So much so that Christians (Hiroshima was a “mecca” of Germany missionary activities) there urged their fellows in Tokyo and other big cities to come to Hiroshima for safety.
Nagasaki has been a center for the Catholic faith since 16th century courtesy of the Portuguese. And the target was a Catholic cathedral. Coincidence? Although the narrative is that another industrial city was the target originally, I don’t believe it.
Truth is, two most “Christian” cities in Japan were targeted from the getgo.
The bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were experiments (American doctors, rushed to these two cities after Japan’s surrender on August 15th, never bothered to cure the victims, but they simply took minute note of the damages done to them) as well as a warning to the Christian world with a Pharisee message:
“Don’t mess with us. Otherwise this is what you get.”
What? You think they started planning in 1942? Developing the Atomic bomb was well conceived and discussed by senior officials long before 1942.
From what I have read is the dropping of the second bomb was more controversial due not giving the Japanese enough time to respond seeing it was 2 days later when they bombed Nagasaki.
World War II was prolonged unnecessarily because the US leaders (run by the Wall Street banking cartel) wanted to test the A-bombs on live cities. The bombs were not ready until August in 1945.
Thus unnecessarily battles were fought in the Pacific, including the Iwo-Jima battle as part of the “island hopping” and the horrific battle of Okinawa, just to give the impression that the war was not over, costing many American lives.
Thus “A-bombs saved US lives” is a blatant lie.
At the same time, Australians also had to die on Borneo fighting the remainder of the Japanese forces there.
I’m beginning to see the reason for the recent falling out of Scott Ritter with Larry Johnson, Brian Berletic, and the Duran guys:
Scott Ritter still maintains the holohoax narrative and he never mentions the Khazarian mafia in Ukraine.
Scott Ritter may be an excellent military analyst but he is just a shabbos goy.
“I am become death, the destroyer of the worlds.”
This is the culminating statement of the Pharisee satanism.
Of course, it would be very inconvenient if the Japanese surrendered unconditionally right after Hiroshima. This would eliminate the opportunity to test the other type of A-bomb.
Unlike Hiroshima, which is mostly flat, Nagasaki has many hills and valleys and the A-bomb dropped in the center of Nagasaki did not affect other population centers. This was also part of the test.
I can’t remember which one is was if it was Iwo Jima or Okinawa, but 4,500 American Marines lost in one day in a matter of hours.
I have soured a little bit on Scott Ritter especially after he trashed the Wagner Group. If anybody has been following the Africa (Nuland and France losing Territory (Ivory Coast) then they would know that Wagner and their presence in various African Nations has changed the game. Macron is looking pretty lonely these days.
But more to your point, Ritter became an opportunist by becoming a talking head OPED on the youtube circuit. He does know his military stuff but sometimes he is a little over the top in his delivery.
Roosevelt created a committee to look into the possibility of developing a nuclear weapon after he received a letter from Nobel Prize laureate Albert Einstein in October 1939. In his letter, Einstein warned the president that Nazi Germany was likely already at work on developing a nuclear weapon.
August 1942, the Manhattan Project was underway.
Do you really think they were planning on using the bomb prior to 1942???
Truman called for surrender the day after the bombing at Hiroshima but the Japanese government refused.
A few unanswered questions:
Would the United States have acted so quickly to use nuclear weapons against Europeans? Was racism against the Japanese an element in the decision?
Might the United States have exploded a nuclear bomb on an uninhabited island to demonstrate the bomb’s terrible power instead of destroying two cities?
We will never know.
And then the after effects:
Between the Hiroshima (August 6) and Nagasaki (August 9) attacks, the New York Times ran 132 news items about the bombings “but omitted or obscured anything about radiation.” In the ten months after the Nagasaki blast, the Times had 15 articles mentioning radiation, nine of them minimizing it, the rest more ambiguous. J. Robert Oppenheimer of the Manhattan Project, as an example, was quoted as saying “there is every reason to believe that there was no appreciable radioactivity on the ground in Hiroshima.”
Censorship and lies were only partially successful. The story of the poisonous effects of radioactivity unleashed by the A-bombs inevitably leaked out. Massive radiation contamination by A-bomb testing in the Pacific, which affected soldiers, test animals, and naval ships, added to the inevitable revelation of the grim realities of the nuclear age.
And when it became impossible to fully censor the story, misdirection came into play. Upbeat messaging “about the medical and biological benefits to be gained from radiation” and the “peaceful uses” of atomic power attempted to paper over the horrible burns, painful sickness, agonizing deaths, and genetic mutations caused by radioactivity.
Actually, the Japanese government did not respond to proposed unconditional surrender.
He was an emissary of the Rothschilds.
No, but had they figure out the means to do so I am sure they would have.
Rothschilds gave the US administration (Roosevelt) a green light by using Einstein, “Full speed ahead, we’ll finance it.”
The Rothschilds always hide themselves never coming to the surface. (Soros is their agent and spokesman today)
Forget racism.
The US (under Roosevelt / Truman) tried to kill off all Germans and erase Germany from the face of the earth, using anthrax.
In fact, millions of Germans (civilians and all) were killed, starved to death in the camps, run by the US troops, after the war ended.
Instead, the “Holocaust” we hear about all the time was invented in 1960s. Talking Hitler, Shapiro, And IsraHell | Real Jew News
What about Bikini Island and the people that the US Government displaced there with their nuclear tests?
