Or as expansive. The unit of doctors who tested bio warfare
on
the Chinese and vivisected people never was charged.
Wrong on both counts. The Japanese Bio warfare division kept very
good
records and targeted not only prisoners but villages in it's study of
spreading diseases. Indeed, if the US hadn't maintained a news blackout
That's what I meant by testing on the Chinese. They infected the
wells of villages and recorded the results.
They tested dozens of different methods of infecting villages with all
sorts of different diseases. When they had the ceramic flea bombs working
they sent observers into the villages to round up everyone around the
bombsite, and the moment the first one showed signs of infection, they
vivasected them on the spot.
about bombs Japan was sending across the pacific with balloons, they
would
have send the next wave with ceramic bombs packed with fleas infected
with
Bubonic Plague. But Japan didn't believe that the US would keep a threat
like the balloons a secret, so they falsely beleived that all of them
were
destroyed over the pacific.
I knew about the balloons and the black-out (with the history
channel blurb it'd be hard not to). However, as they required the use of
the jet-stream, I don't think the fleas would survive. Besides, the
master
plan of the Japanese was to use them to set fire to the forests of the
U.S., turning the west coast into an inferno. That was one of the odd
ideas of the Japanese that the west was a tinderbox waiting for a
match. Of course, Roosevelt had the odd idea that the Japanese were
deathly afraid of bats, and that we could air drop them above major
outposts prior to invasion.
Oh, insects are prety tough. I'm not saying the program would have
worked, but the weapons were all in the works, and the US was certain that
would be their next attempt. Which is why behind the secrecy they made
Biowarfare preperations all across the east coast.
The reason none of the doctors were charged was because their
commander
made a deal with the US army, and got them immunity from prosecution in
exchange for putting the US ahead of Russia in the field of germ warfare.
So it wasn't as expansive, as was my point. Politics go in the
way of justice. I'm not saying it was the wrong decision, but they
weren't
charged, much like the German rocket scientists. The difference is that
the German scientists usually didn't actually commit war crimes.
Well, in terms of there being a single location rather than a series of
camps, your right. Of course that one location cut a massive swaith of
death an misery across the Chinese population and it's effects lasted well
after the end of the war. (Part of the dissassembly process was to release
the rats they were using to breed fleas infected with Bubonic Plague and
other diseases.
The difference is that there were a large number of Nazi Death and
concentration camps, but the Nazi's tried to keep them seperated from their
viscinity. Wheras there was only the one Japanese Biological research
compound, but it spread it's pain and misery wide and far.

Beware of organizations that proclaim their devotion to the light without
embracing, bowing to the dark; for when they idealize half the world they
must devalue the rest.
