“In order to understand the mindset behind such actions, one must first understand why wars are fought in the first place. Christian Rakovsky, a founder of Jewish Bolshevism and one of the architects of World War II, was very clear on why that war was fought.”
By Mike Stone — (henrymakow.com)
August 6 is the anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima. We’re told that 80,000 people, mainly women and children, were killed instantly, and another 50,000 died soon after.
August 9 is the anniversary of the bombing of Nagasaki. We’re told that 70,000 people, mainly women and children, were killed instantly, and thousands more died afterwards. (Some credible researchers say that neither Hiroshima nor Nagasaki were hit with an atom bomb, but with a combination of napalm and mustard gas.)
Hiroshima and Nagasaki were both civilian targets with no military value whatsoever. And Japan had offered to surrender weeks before. Yet we went ahead and bombed them anyway in order to kill as many people as possible.
That’s the way the United States military fights its wars. It’s a style of warfare we’ve been following since the 1860s when General Richard Sherman, under the direct orders of Abraham Lincoln, had his men rape, murder and molest women and children, burn down farms and cities, and slaughter every horse and farm animal they could find. That strategy worked so successfully, our military has used it in every war since then.

These days we get accusations of genocide but never the benefits of really doing it, which include fun. This has to stop
All proposed, organized, and lead by the Semitic group that has all its holidays celebrating its genocides upon others, none of whom are allowed to mention it. Jews.
Capital Criminals Need Capital Punishment!
Walt Rostov was born a Russian Jew and he grew up in NYC. He was an atheist and a socialist, which means that he was probably a communist at heart as well. However, thee is no evidence that he was very influential in the fire bombing of Dresden, or the fire bombing of Tokyo, or the nuking of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. As for Dresden, history tells us that it was the decision of the Brit, Author Harris. However, from all of the atrocities committed in WWII, it appears that they dramatically increased after the Americans entered the war, following Sherman’s “total war” theory endorsed by Lincoln which was aimed at breaking the spirt, or the will, of the enemy. Sherman famously bombarded Richmond with US artillery, killing women and children. The main US philosophy before the Civil was mainly based on what they called “common sense”, in which the rulers of the nation believed they could trust the sense of the common people to guide them, which of course was a view very much based on the US being the champion of democracy. However, the Civil War put a damper on that view, and the leading philosophy became that of American Pragmatism, essentially advocated by Charles Peirce (1839–1914) and William James.(1842-1920). In a nut shell what American pragmatism came down to was the concept that if something worked then it must be true and good. It faith worked the it must be true. What they did not see was the kind of American pragmatism evolving with the decline of Christianity and moral limits. As for war theories, the US is a military state. Its higher echelons are indoctrinated not with Christian values, but mainly with the idea of “productive war theory”. Somewhere along the line after the Civil War, their DoD, or DoW, saw just how pragmatic Sherman’s idea of total war was, and that the key to winning a war was to hit the citizenry in an effort to destroy the spirt and will of the enemy in their wars.
There was no need to nuke Japan. The justification was supposedly that the casualties incurred in invasion would be enormous. This is nonsense – the country was subject to naval blockade and Allied aircraft roamed at will. The people were starving and the factories out of raw materials. All the Allies had to do was wait.
Mike Stone, too stupid to understand what WAR means. The guys a moron.

Any and all japanese war movies depict what actually happened in japan. All of their military was gone and they were starving. The “atom bombs” were fire bombs. No japanese movie shows “atom bombs”. It’s always fire bombs – that is, hundreds of individual bombs that rain fire when they land and explode – not one great big bomb and everyone instanly dies. Then there’s the photos of the aftermath. They all show burning, not everything being incinerated – women with burnt off faces but their cotton dress intact.
The human race is so indoctrinated to believe everything their owners tell them and have forgotten – if they ever knew – how to use their own eyes and brains.
Depends on your point of view. From now time, it seems like it was unnecessary. The Japanese were losing bigly, so why bomb them with Fat Man or Little Boy? But in the very southern part of the Japanese islands was Okinawa and a lot of dead Marines, and most of the ones left saying thank God because an invasion of Japan would have been very, very bloody and it would have been their blood. It’s all in a book called “With the Old Breed” an eye-witness, participant’s account of the melee. My ju-jutsu instructor was there too. He said it was very unpleasant. “At the age of 18, I saw all the horrors imaginable in two months of fighting.” He was a demolitions man. He rolled barrels of gasoline into caves and on the enemy. The atom bombs saved lives, too, both American and Japanese, maybe, I hope.
That was no nuke, Japan cities were firebombed, since nukes have been faked all along. Stop promoting that crap.
Japan was able to conquer the West only after losing communism; it was all a meticulously planned scheme.
Yes, only if Japan loses the war can communism conquer the West; it was all a meticulously planned scheme.

There were no “atom bombs” dumbass.
@ FRED B, ANONYMUS
there was no need for Dresden,Hiroshima,
Nagasaki on end of war . it was just military
burocratic automatism machinery . this
machinery developed over 5 years were not
to stop . like any burocratic machinery over
years is very difficult to stop . and we here
today in Europa are now in THE SAME
SITUATION unless there is a mass standup
+ a mass VOTE STOP . but nothing in view .
Putin is the only political leader with sane
brain in Europa . but taking hit after hit from
Nato + Ukras HE IS TOO SOFT WITH HIS
ENEMIES !
we will pay for jew shnorrer Zelensky + Satanjahu .
There are lots of photos of films of the A-bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and long before any AI. Also, as for injuries between the devastating fire bombings of Tokyo and those of the A bombs you ought to first look at the symptoms. Nuclear radiation sickness is real. You don’t get nuclear radiation sickness as at Nagasaki and Hiroshima from fire bombing. Also, a truthful and non-propaganda account of what happened in Nagasaki is by Dr. Takashi Naga, in his famous book, “The Bells of Nagasaki”. He was a survivor of the bombing. He was a radiologist working at the time at the Nagasaki University Hospital. He died sometime after the blast of radiation sickness, as did most of the victims who survived the areal blast.
For an A bomb all you need is sufficient enrichment (“concentration of uranium”) for enough critical mass that with a high-energy, nuclear “catalyst” such as plutonium inserted, you then get the sudden chain reaction instantly releasing most of the energy in a near-simultaneous breaking down the uranium atoms. Otherwise, without the catalyst, and without care, you just get a meltdown like at Chernobyl and Fukushima.
People who do not believe in nuclear bombs are much like those who are either unable or who don’t want to sift evidence and connect the dots for a thing we call “the truth”, like all of those patriotic Americans still believing in the moon landings, and that 9/11 was committed by Arabs. The detachment process makes them unsteady and nauseous disturbing the equilibrium of their ways. Then there are the other kind of who have become so burned with fallout from so many psyops and hoaxes that they are skeptical and mistrustful of virtually everything. You see them as the ones who deny the existence of both fission & fusion bombs, or even the existences of viruses, and many of them even believe that the Covid (SARS-CoV-2) virus was not real, and that it was not a US bioweapon made to be more aerosol friendly from its predecessor SARS-CoV-1.
Why did the Americans use the A-bomb when the war was already over and they knew the Japanese had already agreed to all of their terms of surrender? There are multiple reasons and the main one was most likely because the US military by the time WWII was winding up was the primary decision maker. As Germany, the UK, Russia, the US had become increasingly ruthless and amoral as the war wore on, the fact is that increasingly ruthless and amoral people and ideas took command of the nations. Most certainly the US military bosses wanted to demonstrate to the Soviets that not only did they have the bomb but also they would not hesitate to use it, should the Soviets want more of Europe.
Also, a number of US military specialists were very influential in experimenting with the A-bomb droppings. Hiroshima was a bomb fixed to go off at ground level, while the the one over Nagasaki was timed to go off in the atmosphere above the city. No doubt, they wanted to see with the Nagasaki blast if they could kill as many people as at Hiroshima but without causing as much damage to buildings and infrastructure. The American later went on the developed neutron bombs to do just that.
@ Fred B
Nukes are fake. Zero proof that they exist. The so-called radiation burns were just burns from fire. Japan began cleanup and rebuilding of Hiroshima and Nagasaki immediately. We’re told that Plutonium and Uranium radiation have a half-life of thousands of years. So, we are to believe that Japanese disregarded the danger and rebuilt cites on top of a radioactive wasteland? Pattern of destruction of both cites is identical to dozens of other Japanese and German cities that were firebombed at end of WW2. Uniform pattern of destruction, no damage radiating outward from a center point as should have been the case. There should have been a bald spot and crater where even the ground should have been vaporized.
You’re all over the place in your comment. You admit moon landing and 9/11 deceptions, but then accuse those who question veracity of Covid and nukes as crazy ‘deniers’. Use of that term denier immediately taints your credibility and identifies you as potential disinfo, limited hangout operation.
@Markie
Despite deferring from you on a certain issue, I have to agree with your first paragraph. There are so few of us in the world who realise this, but consensus doesn’t equal truth. Both Makow and Stewart have had access to the information posted in comments over the last decade. As alternative journalists they have ossified into almost mainstream commentators… Maybe its their age. I also think there is a certain “top-table” snobbishness whereby “top-table” website convenors take a superior view to commenters. Indeed Stewart scarcely joins in debates here but to scold wearing and the like…
But having said that I believe there are more people led astray by their egos and narcissism than straightforward bad faith. In the case of Fred B, I sometime read his shorter post. He makes sense on many things, but I think a bad faith disinformationalist would KNOW to write more succinctly. I equate Fred B’s post with the scroll button. And Fred B, please forgive me, I believe you are one of the good guys. Indeed MOST regular commenters post in good faith…

Sam Crawford, one of the six generals running Japan after WWII claims 2000 were killed at Hiroshima and was told to play up the numbers. Another witness, the American Major Alexander Seversky observed the aftermath of Hiroshima and said:
“In Hiroshima, I was prepared for radically different sights. But, to my surprise, Hiroshima looked exactly like all the other burned-out cities in Japan. There was a familiar pink blot, about two miles in diameter. It was dotted with charred trees and telephone poles. Only one of the cities twenty bridges was down. Hiroshima’s clusters of modern buildings in the downtown section stood upright. It was obvious that the blast could not have been so powerful as we had been led to believe. It was extensive blast rather than intensive. I had heard of buildings instantly consumed by unprecedented heat. Yet here I saw the buildings structurally intact, and what is more, topped by undamaged flag poles, lightning rods, painted railings, air raid precaution signs and other comparatively fragile objects. At the T-bridge, the aiming point for the atomic bomb,
I looked for the “bald spot” where everything presumably had been vaporized in the twinkling of an eye. It wasn’t there or anywhere else. I could find no traces of unusual phenomena. What I did see was in substance a replica of Yokohama or Osaka, or the Tokyo suburbs – the familiar residue of an area of wood and brick houses razed by uncontrollable fire. Everywhere I saw the trunks of charred and leafless trees, burned and unburned chunks of wood. The fire had been intense enough to bend and twist steel girders and to melt glass until it ran like lava – just as in other Japanese cities. The concrete buildings nearest to the centre of explosion, some only a few blocks from the heart of the atom blast, showed no structural damage. Even cornices, canopies and delicate exterior decorations were intact. Window glass was shattered, of course, but single-panel frames held firm; only window frames of two or more panels were bent and buckled.
The blast impact therefore could not have been unusual. Then I questioned a great many people who were inside such buildings when the bomb exploded. Their descriptions matched the scores of accounts I had heard from people caught in concrete buildings in areas hit by blockbusters. Hiroshima’s ten-story press building, about three blocks from the centre of the explosion, was badly gutted by the fire following the explosion, but otherwise unhurt. The people caught in the building did not suffer any unusual effects.”

Of course some detail has to be given when arguing a point. The thing to do is give enough without being tedious and allowing the genuine enquirer to look for him or herself. Bob Smith used to leave excellent comments on the phony nukes issue…
Robert Faurisson said, “No holes, no holocaust”. I say, “No Hiroshima atom bomb, no nukes.”
Hiroshima is the key to unravelling this BS…

” Led astray by ego and narcissism more than straightforward bad faith”
Agree that ego, fear, and denial can be an impediment to discerning the truth. Liberating oneself from the matrix requires courage and humility, most of the proles have neither. However, I have a hard time believing that is the case with Fred B or anyone else commenting at this site. Most here have Red Pilled themselves on myriad other issues, so cognitive dissonance should not be a hindrance when it comes to overcoming a deception that previously was accepted as fact. As you stated, the evidence is obvious and easily accessible to disprove nukes. It’s hard to believe that Fred B is incapable of going down the rabbit hole when it comes to nukes, like the rest of us have done thousands of times with other issues.
I also left a response a few days ago to Fred B, regarding the legitimacy of Covid, which he also defends as legit, even though there is ample evidence to the contrary. Other types of infections that occur routinely, flu, colds, etc. were simply rebranded as Covid. The testing was invalid and eventually admitted to be so during scamdemic, as is typical within the satanic ritual of playing both sides, Promoting Covid as real, while revealing the deception at the same time. Up to 80% of people that ‘tested positive’ were claimed to be asymptomatic and up to 95% had mild symptoms. That’s the tell right there, for those astute enough to recognize the game. That a type of SARS pneumonia that Covid was claimed to be, could result in 95% of those infected with little or no symptoms is absurd.
