Japan getting nuked in WW2…


Here are the facts:

 The Japanese civilians were drafted by the Japanese military into service to defend the nation against an invasion by the American forces...

In practical terms the entire population was in a state of war against our forces as demonstrated in the invasion a few months earlier of Iwo Jima, where the Japanese fought to the last man...and were many of the civilians killed themselves instead of surrendering to our troops. In that battle that lasted from February 19 – March 26 of 1945, the casualties were horrendous. People today are shocked by our losses in Iraq of about three thousand men in 7 years, but in 36 short days in Iwo Jima we lost 6,821 dead and  19,217 wounded. The Japanese losses were even higher, 17,845 to 18,375 dead.

So with this in mind, we now also known that the Japanese had fortified the entire island of Japan, and that the fighting would have cost millions of lives… think of it, house to house fighting, millions of Japanese fighting an invasion force of about 2 million Americans... etc, etc, etc. It would have been horrible!

So in effect the death of those tens of thousands of Japanese DID save millions... calculations using our dead ratio of Japanese to American showed that it would cost about 1 million American casualties.... never mind the Japanese side.

So with those numbers Truman was right on... the lesser of two evils, Japan was not going to surrender easily...

And even AFTER the two bombs were dropped, there was a coup by the Japanese military to stop the Emperor from surrendering, and to go on fighting known as The Kyūjō Incident...did you know that kids?

They almost succeeded… they wanted to go fighting until the end even AFTER the nuke bombs, but luckily the Emperor managed to sneak a recording of his surrender speech and the nation surrendered. The military plotters then committed suicide...


Truman made a very hard decision but that in the end saved millions... and we should thank him for it...war is never easy, or clean cut.

"The Way..." the real teachings and life of Yeshua

Image
(picture) The face of Yeshua as extracted from the image imprinted on the Shroud of Turin by the Resurrection. You are looking at the real face of Yeshua. (picture) An example explaining what people need to know about the Shroud of Turin. It is a negative image, just like in the old days of photography, when we had a film from which images used to be developed/extracted onto photographic paper. Same thing with the Shroud of Turin. There is NO pigmentation, paint, oil, etc on it. The image is the result of the sudden burst of energy made by the energy process of the Resurrection, imprinting the full image of the body of Yeshua unto the material. "The Way..." the real teachings, and life of Yeshua The Christianity many people follow today is wrong, a direct result of rewrites by many people with political intentions throughout history, beginning with people like Paul who never even knew Yeshua, and afterwards by the Romans. Yeshua's main teachings were ab...

The 45 Points of the Communist Manifesto for America.

(The more informed you are about what is happening to the United States, the better prepared you will be...) 1. U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war. 2. U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war. 3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength. 4. Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war. 5. Extension of long-term loans to Russia and Soviet satellites. 6. Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination. 7. Grant recognition of Red China. Admission of Red China to the U.N. 8. Set up East and West Germany as separate states in spite of Khrushchev's promise in 1955 to settle the German question by free elections under supervision of the U.N. 9. Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the United States has agree...
