TETC #7 (Reissue): War Propaganda Never Changes

TETC #7 (Reissue): War Propaganda Never Changes
Ace and Dean-O

This is a reupload of the TETC episode about the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, originally published 8 Aug, 2022. The original description from that episode follows:

Ace and Dean-O, on the 77th anniversary of the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, discuss the (largely) untold story of the Truman administration’s tragic decision to incinerate and poison hundreds of thousands of civilians. Other topics include the pernicious effects of propaganda and new information surrounding the killing of Breonna Taylor.

The late Justin Raimondo’s piece on the bombings can be found here.

The 1946 Strategic Bombing Survey, linked in the above referenced piece and commissioned by the Truman administration, can be accessed directly here.

The most important excerpt from the document reads:

“…certainly prior to 31 December 1945, and in all probability prior to 1 November 1945, Japan would have surrendered even if the atomic bombs had not been dropped, even if Russia had not entered the war, and even if no invasion had been planned or contemplated.”
