It Was Neither Right Nor Necessary to Nuke Japan

General Dwight Eisenhower on learning of the planned bombings: “I had been conscious of a feeling of depression and voiced to [Secretary of War Stimson] my grave misgivings, first on the basis of my belief that Japan was already defeated and that dropping the bomb was completely unnecessary, and secondly because I thought that our country should avoid shocking world opinion by the use of a weapon whose employment was, I thought, no longer mandatory as a measure to save American lives. It was my belief that Japan was, at that very moment, seeking some way to surrender with a minimum loss of ‘face’.”

Admiral William Leahy, Truman's Chief of Staff: “The use of this barbarous weapon…was of no material assistance in our war against Japan. The Japanese were already defeated and ready to surrender because of the effective sea blockade and the successful bombing with conventional weapons.”

Major General Curtis LeMay, 21st Bomber Command: “The war would have been over in two weeks without the Russians entering and without the atomic bomb…The atomic bomb had nothing to do with the end of the war at all.”

General Hap Arnold, US Army Air Forces: “The Japanese position was hopeless even before the first atomic bomb fell, because the Japanese had lost control of their own air.” “It always appeared to us that, atomic bomb or no atomic bomb, the Japanese were already on the verge of collapse.”

Ralph Bard, Under Secretary of the Navy: “The Japanese were ready for peace, and they already had approached the Russians and the Swiss…In my opinion, the Japanese war was really won before we ever used the atom bomb.”

Brigadier General Carter Clarke, military intelligence officer who prepared summaries of intercepted cables for Truman: “When we didn’t need to do it, and we knew we didn’t need to do it…we used [Hiroshima and Nagasaki] as an experiment for two atomic bombs. Many other high-level military officers concurred.”

Fleet Admiral Chester Nimitz, Pacific Fleet commander: “The use of atomic bombs at Hiroshima and Nagasaki was of no material assistance in our war against Japan. The Japanese were already defeated and ready to surrender.”

How to Recruit Coeds to Destroy Civilization

Since the 2024 election, commentators are no longer afraid to say the unsayable: White, college-educated women are among the most foolish and stupid on the planet. John G. Roberto labels them indoctrinated, "socialist useful idiots." Beanman19701 describes them as "the gift that keeps on giving" to every leftist cause, because their support will be perpetual, unthinking backing for the left.

Now the Queen of Leftist Philanthropy explains how she became a useful idiot for Klaus Schwab and the global left mafia. Nicole Shanahan - ex-wife of Google co-founder Sergey Brin, former running mate of RFK Jr., and someone who personally signed nine-figure philanthropy checks - just revealed how she and the other Silicon Valley college-educated-white-women were tricked, recruited and used.

"I don't think many of the tech mafia wives realize,” says Shanahan, “they were used to set the groundwork for what Klaus Schwab calls The Great Reset.

Their money especially was being conscripted ...

Memo to the Global Mainstream Media from the New York Times: Stop Lying About Ukraine:

It has long been understood that the New York Times is the public voice of the American intelligence establishment, and that American media takes its cues from the Times on what should or should not be reported. In 2025, the Times stopped lying about two aspects of the Ukrainian war, and the about-face has shaken the world. On March 9th, the Times admitted that it was America which made war against Russia, for decades, falsely pretending that Russia was an aggressor against Ukraine. This previous narrative was fake war propaganda all along.
