Strategy Gone Awry: Revisiting the US Air Raids on Japan

The United States dominates the world in airpower. Behind the birth of the US Air Force is a little-known story about the deadly firebombing campaign against Japan at the end of World War Ⅱ. NHK combed through audiotaped interviews with 246 senior Air Force officials, including the leader of the air assault on Japan, Gen.Curtis LeMay. The interviews reveal how an "ideal" strategy designed to cause minimal civilian casualties ultimately went awry, and gave way to attacks with incendiary bombs that claimed some 400,000 Japanese lives.

Essentially, more of the same BS we've heard of since... the use of 'precision' bombs... to prevent loss of civilian lives.. using the new B-29 bomber program that cost a little more than the Manhattan Project or so it is said here - $3billion, so a low level army air force general with his career/ego on the line.. in need of victory... but his bombers are no where near successful...single digit 'success' rate.. though about the same as in Europe they say here... (no mention of the fact that many factories in Europe weren't bombed on purpose, given American connections to them)... The major reason seems due to the then unknown element of the 'jet stream'... add in the weather and the nature of how the industry was spread out, and the limits of air power was quickly shown, but with egos on the line, sooner or later, the 'job' gets done.. change of command (reminded me of American Civil War)... .with firebombing or terror bombing... .though it seems an important push was to end the war with this tactic to prevent any sharing of the 'success' with the Army's planned invasion. So, same incompetence.... low skill levels... not much different than Europe in the first few years as America wasn't prepped for war with anyone other than low tech and trusting 'Indians' or small Central American nations with much less force projection than we had then... not much has changed.

PS.... forgot to mention one point, valid or not, that the guy in charge of the War Dept said in his files/biblio, that he decided in favor of the nucs to prevent the continuation of this firebombing campaign, which has plans to target most of the rest of the cities down to 10,000 population base....
 
Another similarity for the war in Europe... seems more of the real history on this guy keeps showing up lately... same pattern everywhere, though no mention of his banking connections in this article: http://www.thetruthseeker.co.uk/?p=164838

The Real Churchill
[...]
Churchill even brainstormed dropping tens of thousands of anthrax “super bombs” on the civilian population of Germany, and ordered detailed planning for a chemical attack on six major cities, estimating that millions would die immediately “by inhalation,” with millions more succumbing later.

But Churchill’s greatest war crimes involved the terror bombing of German cities that killed 600,000 civilians and left some 800,000 injured. Arthur Harris (“Bomber Harris”), the head of Bomber Command, stated, “In Bomber Command we have always worked on the assumption that bombing anything in Germany is better than bombing nothing.”

Churchill brazenly lied to the House of Commons and the public, claiming that only military and industrial installations were targeted. In fact, the aim was to kill as many civilians as possible. Hence the application of “carpet” bombing in an attempt to terrorize the Germans into surrendering.

Professor Raico described the effect of Churchillian statesmanship: “The campaign of murder from the air leveled Germany. A thousand-year-old urban culture was annihilated, as great cities, famed in the annals of science and art, were reduced to heaps of smoldering ruins. . . .” No wonder that, learning of this, a civilized European man like Joseph Schumpeter, at Harvard, was driven to telling “anyone who would listen” “that Churchill and Roosevelt were destroying more than Genghis Khan.”

According to the official history of the Royal Air Force: “The destruction of Germany was by then on a scale which might have appalled Attila or Genghis Khan.” Dresden was filled with masses of helpless refugees running for their lives ahead of the advancing Red Army. The war was practically over, but for three days and nights, from February 13 to 15, 1945, British bombs pounded Dresden, killing as many as 135,000 people or more in three days. After the massacre, Churchill attempted to disclaim responsibility; even casually saying “I thought the Americans did it.”

The terror bombing of Germany and the killing of civilians continued as late as the middle of April 1945. It only stopped, as Bomber Harris noted, because there were essentially no more targets left to be bombed in Germany.

In order to kill a maximum number of Germans, Winston Churchill dismissed politics or policy as a ‘secondary consideration,’ and on at least two occasions said that there were “no lengths of violence to which we would not go” in order to achieve his objective. In fact, he said this publicly in a speech given on September 31, 1943, and again in the House of Commons, on February 27, 1945, when unbelievable lengths of violence had already taken place. If Hitler had uttered this phrase, we would all cite it as more evidence of his barbarism. Yet, when Churchill utters it, his apologists palm it off as the resoluteness required of a great statesman, rather than describing it as an urge for mass, indiscriminate murder.

Of course, Churchill supported the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which resulted in the deaths of another 200,000 civilians. When Truman fabricated the myth of the “500,000 American lives saved” to justify his mass murder, Churchill felt the need to top his lie: the atomic bombings had saved 1,200,000 lives, including 1,000,000 Americans. It was all just another of Churchill’s fantasies.

Yet, after all this slaughter, Churchill would write: “The goal of World War II [was] to revive the status of man.”
[...]

Same mindset no matter the empire in question... they all think alike. Here's another nice little quote from that article as illustration:
[...]In 1919, as Colonial Secretary Churchill advocated the use of chemical weapons on the “uncooperative Arabs” in the puppet state of Iraq. “I do not understand the squeamishness about the use of gas,” he declared. “I am strongly in favor of using poison gas against uncivilized tribes.” Some year’s later, gassing human beings to death would make other men infamous.

An example of Churchill’s racial views are his comments made in 1937: “I do not admit that a great wrong has been done to the Red Indians of America or the black people of Australia. I do not admit that a wrong has been done to these people by the fact that a stronger race, a higher-grade race, a more worldly wise race, has come in and taken their place.”

In Churchill’s single-minded decades-long obsession with preventing a single hegemonic power from arising on the European continent that would pose a threat to the British Empire, he failed to see that his alliance with Stalin produced exactly that. “As the blinkers of war were removed,” John Charmley writes, “Churchill began to perceive the magnitude of the mistake which had been made.” Churchill is alleged to have blurted out after finally realizing the scale of his blunder: “We have slaughtered the wrong pig!”

But it was too late. For decades Churchill worked for the destruction of Germany. Yet only after Stalin had devoured half of Europe did this “great statesman” realize that destroying the ability of Germany to act as a counterbalance to Russia left Europe ripe for invasion and conquest by a resurgent Russia.

There's blood on the hands of each of these countries. The war crimes carried out during World War II by Japan, Germany, US, UK leave none of them innocent. The emperor was allowed to live and remain emperor; who knows what happened to Hitler; Churchill, FDR, Truman were heroes; and the regular people suffered and died by the millions.
 
To the victors go the spoils... such as being acclaimed as 'heroes'... part of the show as Rome loved their parades same as we do on tv these days... the pomp and circumstance, only it's lost its luster and few in the audience pay attention much, if any at all... which makes repeating the show easier, but less fruitful.... putting their bodies in chains doesn't let you control their minds... all that dumbing down and doping up just makes the fruit rot... and their minds drift away in fantasy, stupidity or banality. The "West" won... so their evil acts were given the revisionist treatment that made them heroes... a drug that has mostly worn off, again, the dumbing down and doping up afteraffects... and the current imperial wars lack that old "je ne sais quoi" of the old times like here in WW2... we can't remake "Casablanca", can we? the wars aren't arranged 'right' to make us look good... not that the MSM hasn't tried, along with Hollywood, but it's all been for naught.... low level programming... not very effective... those characters in Casablanca can't be portrayed today as they were back then... especially the female lead.... being essentially told what to do... makes her look bad these days.. very weak... We are the bad guys, which makes our hero status hard to maintain to anyone paying attention... so the films glorifying our imperial 'support the troops' and their wars get marginal treatment... given Oscars like the infamous White Helmets... but any box office success is very short lived... thus the increased M&A activity towards the NWO that doesn't need nor like real competition except within the clubhouse.

Hard for most people to think of how all of these guys were essentially on the same side... of the SG and all their 'deep state' minions setting up the game... from the Bolsheviks to the Nazis, and all the imperial types in between like Churchill and Roosevelt who behaved the same... Most articles I've read seem to imply that the Japanese Emperor wasn't really in power... more of a figurehead, after those decades of military revolt against being belittled, downgraded etc... and after the war, then given the same treatment as usual... 'the show must go on', and that means 'staying the course'... utilize the existing memes/figures/setups in any country with a whitewash of 'new and improved' while 'old and traditional'... like the Church did during the Crusades... rebranding we call it today... but same game as usual.... just a resetting of the pieces on the chessboard for a new game.

The same mindset of our terror bombing was rather new to me... and done as a result of failure to perform in any other manner of 'success'.. so when the egomaniacs/psychos etc start to fail in their promises, they resort to the 'tried and true' means of 'success'... genocide... or more terror bombing in these cases, as it really wasn't the extermination of a race being sought, just unconditional 'victory'... .and then all the evils of the previous loser is brought in-house for our guys to make use of... and the same practices are always there... the mindset of those developing technology to achieve control, domination and 'victory'... it's interesting to see the similarities everywhere... it seems the only real difference is the level of technology... and didn't the C's say or imply the same regarding Atlantis? Imagine the same types with much, much greater technology? And wasn't that the problem or weakness of those peoples crusaded against? the prey to the predators? they simply didn't know/understand what they were up againt... dealing with.... like the Native Americans... how isolated they were in terms of being here in 'Purgatory'... thus the unbelievable shock of their rebirth into our world.

I mentioned the NHK documentary because it's harder to come across English languaged versions of such historical articles/films that aren't completely propagandized... as NHK, like most state media (PBS) has been 'taken over' in recent years... to stop any complaints... views that differ... such as in Kenya recently: https://www.blacklistednews.com/article/63341/kenya-govt-turns-off-tv-stations-airing-opposition.html

Again, like every other STS aspect, it's the same script everywhere... and Obama got his Nobel Prize for his assistance in Kenya with the CIA... his mom's old employer... etc... like Trumpy today... same script... interesting.
 
Just got around to watching this documentary "Synagogue of Satan"... heard some of it... but it's really rather telling that most of the leaders, Roosevelt, Stalin and Churchill, and apparantely even Hitler, were all Jewish... even if 'crypto'.... same as BTC today, no? ;)
