Overlevenden
van de atoomaanval op Hiroshima (hibakusha) hebben gisteren de herdenking van de atoomaanval op die stad, 73 jaar geleden, gebruikt om de wereld op
te roepen een verbod in te stellen op kernwapens.
De
burgemeester van Hiroshima, Kazumi Matsui stelde volkomen
terecht dat de kans op een atoomramp groot is gezien de toestand in
de wereld, zeker als je het aantal van 14.000 kernkoppen (!!
knettergek!) over de wereld in gedachten houdt……….
Matsui
riep zijn regering op om het verdrag tot de ban van kernwapens te
tekenen, dit verdrag werd vorig jaar door een aantal VN leden getekend. De International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons
(ICAN), heeft voor haar inzet de Nobelprijs voor de Vrede
ontvangen……
Let
op, hier gaat Nederland weer ‘een mooie rol spelen’: Nederland heeft
dit verdrag niet getekend, onthield zich niet van stemming, maar
stemde als enige tegen, de VS kernwapens zouden nodig zijn voor ozne
veiligheid…… ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! Hier de tekst die
daarover te vinden is op de site van ICAN: The
Netherlands, which hosts US nuclear weapons on its
territory, participated in the negotiation of the UN Treaty on
the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons but voted against its adoption on
7 July 2017. It was the only nation to do so.
It claims that US
nuclear weapons are essential for its security.
Kortom
voor de zoveelste keer staan we publiekelijk voor paal en dan durven
de Nederlandse reguliere media Rutte de hemel in te prijzen als een
geweldig staatsman…… ha! ha! ha! ha! ha!*

massavernietigingswapens te verbieden:
Hiroshima
Survivors Call for Nuclear Weapons Ban 73 Years After US Bombing

(CD) — While
European and Iranian leaders work
to salvage the
Iran nuclear deal after President Donald Trump withdrew the
United States in May and reimposed his
first round of sanctions on Monday, activists, surviviors, and
Hiroshima Mayor Kazumi Matsui marked the 73rd anniversary of the U.S.
dropping an atomic bomb on the Japanese city by calling for the total
elimination of the world’s nuclear weapons.
“Today,
with more than 14,000 nuclear warheads remaining, the likelihood is
growing that what we saw in Hiroshima after the explosion that day
will return, by intent or accident, plunging people into agony,”
Matsui warned in a “moving” peace
declarationdelivered
at a “somber”
ceremony in Japan on Monday.
Sharing
statements from hibakusha,
or those who survived the American bombing in 1945, the mayor
continued:
The hibakusha,
based on their intimate knowledge of the terror of nuclear weapons,
are ringing an alarm against the temptation to possess them. Year by
year, as hibakusha decrease
in number, listening to them grows ever more crucial.
One hibakusha who
was 20 says, “If nuclear weapons are used, every living thing will
be annihilated. Our beautiful Earth will be left in ruins. World
leaders should gather in the A-bombed cities, encounter our tragedy,
and, at a minimum, set a course toward freedom from nuclear weapons.
I want human beings to become good stewards of creation capable of
abolishing nuclear weapons.”
[…]
Another hibakusha who
was 20 makes this appeal: “I hope no such tragedy ever happens
again. We must never allow ours to fade into the forgotten past. I
hope from the bottom of my heart that humanity will apply our wisdom
to making our entire Earth peaceful.” If the human family forgets
history or stops confronting it, we could again commit a terrible
error. That is precisely why we must continue talking about
Hiroshima. Efforts to eliminate nuclear weapons must continue based
on intelligent actions by leaders around the world.
Nuclear
deterrence and nuclear umbrellas flaunt the destructive power of
nuclear weapons and seek to maintain international order by
generating fear in rival countries. This approach to guaranteeing
long-term security is inherently unstable and extremely dangerous.
World leaders must have this reality etched in their hearts as they
negotiate in good faith the elimination of nuclear arsenals, which is
a legal obligation under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.
Furthermore (NNPT), they must strive to make the Treaty on the Prohibition
of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW) a milestone along the path to a
nuclear-weapon-free world.
Matsui
also urged the Japanese government to join the historic United
Nations treaty
to ban nuclear weapons,
which was adopted by dozens of nations last year and earned
the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN) a Nobel
Peace Prize. Replicas of the award and diploma are
on display at
the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum until Monday, and next will be
sent to Nagasaki, the city the U.S. bombed three days later.
ICAN
turned to Twitter on Monday to share Matsui’s words and urge all
nations to join the U.N. treaty:
Mayor Matsui spoke of the hopes of #Hibakusha (survivors) for a nuclear-free world & the importance of memory: “If the human family forgets history or stops confronting it, we could again commit a terrible error. That is precisely why we must continue talking about Hiroshima.”
This Peace Declaration paints a painfully vivid image of the devastation of a nuclear bomb, but also reminds us that there is reason for hope: the #nuclearban provides a path to a world free of nuclear weapons, and all nations must join the Treaty → nuclearban.org
Paul
Kawika Martin, senior director for policy and political affairs at
the U.S.-based group Peace Action, said in a statement,
“Besides paying respect and commemorating the lives lost in the
atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, marking the anniversaries
offers the world an opportunity to reflect on the threat still posed
by nuclear weapons, and more importantly, an opportunity to organize
for their reduction and elimination.”
“As
the only country to ever use nuclear weapons in war,” Martin
continued, “and as a signatory to the Nonproliferation Treaty, the
United States has both a moral and legal obligation to negotiate in
good faith with other nuclear-armed nations for the reduction and
elimination of the world’s nuclear arsenals, including our own.
Unfortunately, the Trump administration is instead moving forward
with plans to spend $1.7 trillion adjusted for inflation on nuclear
weapons over the next three decades.”
Several
other activists and anti-nuclear organizations used social media on
Monday to remember the bombing and demand that every nation work
toward outlawing such weapons:
73 years ago today, the United States dropped an atomic bomb called “Little Boy” on #Hiroshima in Japan. 100,000 to 180,000 people were killed out of a population of 350,000.#NeverAgain • cnduk.org/hiroshima-naga…
Right now as you read this, men like Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin threaten every city on Earth with nuclear weapons that’d make Hiroshima look like a campfire — and one day, sooner or later, these weapons will be used. Unless we eliminate all of them. Everywhere. #globalzero
Meanwhile,
students at Fukuyama Technical High School in Japan have unveiled a
virtual reality experience that enables users to see Hiroshima on the
day of the bombing. Their hope is that the VR project will discourage
future use of nuclear weapons.
“Even
without language, once you see the images, you understand,” Mei
Okada, one of the students working on the
project, told the Associated
Press.
“That is definitely one of the merits of this VR experience.”
Got to meet these amazing Japanese students during my latest trip to Hiroshima that are using VR to recreate Hiroshima atomic bombing to share a message of peace. (from @AP) apnews.com/91622445eac44e…

====================================
Hier nog een artikel met video’s gisteren gepubliceerd op Brasscheck TV, hierin wordt onder meer gesteld dat andere bombardementen, zoals die op Tokio, meer slachtoffers eisten, echter de gevolgen voor de overlevende slachtoffers na de aanvallen op Hiroshima en Nagasaki, waren (en zijn) voor de overlevenden vreselijk en onvergelijkbaar:
THE
HIROSHIMA LIE
THE
REAL REASON JAPAN SURRENDERED
WHAT
HAPPENED AFTER THE WAR
On
this day in 1945, the US military under the direction of President
Truman dropped a nuclear bomb on a civilian target killing over
80,000 people instantly.
Was
the attack on Hiroshima a military necessity?
No
and here’s why.
Two
facts:
1.
In terms of death and destruction, the Hiroshima nuclear attack
wasn’t the biggest attack on a Japanese city. The conventional
fire bombing of Tokyo killed far more.
2.
The Russians were poised to mount a massive invasion.
The
Imperial Family agreed to surrender because they were advised that
while the Japanese military might be able to hold off an American
invasion, it could not withstand a combined US and Russian attack.
By
the way, what was Japan fighting for?
To
line the pockets of the Imperial Family, the richest family in Japan.
That’s it.
They
planned the war, they ordered the war, they profited from it and they
were willing to sacrifice the civilian population to carry out their
goals.
For
example, billions of dollars worth of stolen gold and valuable art
(much of it scouted out years in advance) was shipped directly to the
Imperial compound in Tokyo. None of it has been returned.
As
a condition for surrender, the Imperial Family was allowed to remain
in power unpunished and they remain in power today.
Can
you imagine what would have happened to those murderous, thieving
bastards if the Russians had gotten to them first?
But
as always, the US government was ready to make a “deal” – in
this case to have a base to fight Communism.
After
the war, the US government also protected – and hired – veterans
of Japan’s Unit 731.
You’ve
heard of Nazi medical atrocities, but the Japanese program was
exponentially larger and its crimes were largely covered up with the
help of the US government which wanted access to the data and the
practitioners.
* Terzijde: zonder de kabinetten Rutte hadden we er veel beter voor gestaan, minder werklozen, geen giga huurverhogingen…. Huurverhogingen die ervoor hebben gezorgd dat nu een groot aantal mensen bijna continu in de financiële problemen zitten, enz. enz. (vanmorgen werd nog bekend gemaakt dat het leven duurder is geworden, de grootste oorzaken: de huurverhogingen per 1 juli jl. en de prijsverhoging van fossiele brandstoffen….)
