The Moral Legacy of Hiroshima and Nagasaki Comments
(4) N.B.: The
“Jean-Paul Marat quote” is not from Jean-Paul Marat himself, but
is drawn from Peter Weiss's 1963 play “The
Persecution and Assassination of Jean Paul Marat.” We regret
the mix-up. Here is the correctly attributed quote: "Completely
in charge in their marble homes and granite banks from which they rob the
people of the world under the pretence of bringing them culture, Watch out,
for ... they'll send you out to protect their gold in wars whose weapons,
rapidly developed by servile scientists, will become more and more deadly
until they can with a flick of the finger tear a million of you to pieces." Peter Weiss (1916-1982), German writer, painter and artist who adopted Swedish nationality
(quote from his 1963 historical play “The
Persecution and Assassination of Jean Paul Marat.” New
War Crimes
Posted, Saturday, August 12, 2010 8:50 am You say:"It seems that military man
Eisenhower was more ethical than Freemason small-town politician Harry S.
Truman regarding the fateful decision." There
were quite a few military men in the USA who opposed the war crime. Even
General MacArthur did so. When Gen. MacArthur is more moral than President H.
S. Truman, you know Truman is seriously messed up inside. Truman had no
redeemable qualities and should have swung on the end of a rope like his
fellow nazi war criminals did. Hayate New
War and Morality
Posted, Thursday, August 12, 2010 1:12 am In war, one seeks to destroy the enemy as
efficiently and quickly as possible. Unfortunately, “morality”
has no place on the battlefield. Ultimately, it always boils down to their
victory or yours – a terrible, but necessary choice if you are to
survive. Karloff New
What About the Japanese?
Posted, Tuesday, August 10, 2010 12:15 am As a WWII veteran who lost many friends during the
war, I am at a loss as to why there is so much objection to the use of the A
Bomb. There were Japanese accounts of mobilization of the entire population
of Japan ready to fight to the death against the assault on mainland Japan by
the allies. My suggestion is for those who think the Japanese were ready to
surrender might want to take a look at some of the battle films showing the
resolve of the people to fight the enemy to the death. Further, to think that
once the secret of nuclear fusion was out, that rogue nations like Russia,
Korea and others did not see the power they would command with ownership of
the plans. We are losing the war, because, as Obama says,
“We are not a Christian Nation.” We are a society that has embraced
the Seven Deadly Sins and no longer adhere to the Ten Commandments, so
convert or be doomed. Mike New
An Act of Infamy
Posted, Tuesday, August 10, 2010 8:31 am A very timely piece on the bombing of Hiroshima and
Nagasaki. I agree that was an act of infamy and as you say a
"stain" on the USA's reputation that it may never recover from. But rather than redress these outrageous acts they
just seem to go on their imperio/fascist ways. I am very concerned at what
they intend for Iran and its potential for a tragic misstep that could
imperil us all. The crazed eugenicists or should I say eugenicysts may
somehow be able to justify such a misadventure that the world does really
need to "vanish" a few people from this crowded planet ! Chris New
