Dead Texts Take Flight
posted 08/19/2010, 12:27 AM (Jeffrey A. Tucker) [Category: History] The Mises Institute has made available many previously obscure or out-of-print books. Now students take for granted the living existence of these texts, and that is the highest compliment we could receive.
Jacob Hornberger, founder and president of the Future of Freedom Foundation, discusses the enduring myth of nuking Hiroshima and Nagasaki to save the lives of countless U.S. soldiers, how FDR’s rejection of conditional surrender prolonged the war in Europe and the Pacific, how the US empire kicked into high gear after WWII, why purposely killing civilians is a war crime unless the Air Force does ...

Nagasaki bombing survivor recounts her experience
posted 08/09/2010, 5:21 PM (NJ.com) [Category: History] PRINCETON TOWNSHIP -- In three days, it will have been 65 years since the United States dropped the second of two atomic bombs on Japan, an event that devastated the city of Nagasaki where Yasuko Ohta worked as a 15-year-old student.
Ohta, now 80, was just 1.3 kilometers -- less than a mile -- from ground zero at Nagasaki when the atomic bomb detonated.
The unimaginable destructive force of the bomb has shadowed Ohta throughout her life and she suspects the effects ... (more)
The Hiroshima Myth
posted 08/06/2010, 6:31 PM (John V. Denson) [Category: History] Every year during the first two weeks of August the mass news media and many politicians at the national level trot out the "patriotic" political myth that the dropping of the two atomic bombs on Japan in August of 1945 caused them to surrender, and thereby saved the lives of anywhere from five hundred thousand to one million American soldiers, who did not have to invade the islands. Opinion polls over the last fifty years show that American citizens o... (more)
The man who bombed Hiroshima
posted 08/06/2010, 6:31 PM (Anthony Gregory) [Category: History] The man who flew the plane that dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima passed away last week at the age of 92. Paul Warfield Tibbets, Jr. did not die from war wounds or violently at the hands of other people, years before his time. He died in hospice care, in a bed, from heart problems and strokes.
In stark contrast, the more than 100,000 civilians who were killed at Hiroshima 62 years ago were burnt, melted, vaporized, in an apocalyptic act of warfare. Many died painful deaths over... (more)

'My God, what have we done?' - the commander of the 'Enola Gay'

"As the bomb exploded, we saw the entire city disappear," said Commander Robert Lewis. "I wrote in my log, 'My God, what have we done?'"

The discovery of reporter George Weller's firsthand account of conditions in post-nuclear Nagasaki sheds light on one of the great journalistic betrayals of the last century: the cover-up of the effects of the atomic bombing on Japan.

Flashback: Hiroshima, the pictures they didn't want us to see
posted 08/06/2010, 6:30 PM (Fogonazos) [Category: History] The Atomic Bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki killed about 250.000 people and became the most dreadful slaughter of civilians in modern history. However, for many years there was a curious gap in the photographic records. Although the names of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were incised into our memories, there were few pictures to accompany them. Even today, the image in our minds is a mixture of devastated landscapes and shattered buildings. Shocking images of the ruins, but where were the victims?

Libertarianism in Ancient China
posted 04/16/2010, 10:17 PM (Murray N.

Roughly, the Legalists, the latest of the three broad schools, simply believed in maximal power to the state, and advised rulers how to increase that power. The Taoists were the world's first libertarians, who believed in virtually no interference by the state in economy or society, and the Confucians were middle-of-the-roaders on this critical ...

Did the CIA test LSD in the New York City subway system?
posted 03/17/2010, 5:43 PM (New York Post) [Category: History] On Nov. 28, 1953, Frank Olson, a bland, seemingly innocuous 42-year-old government scientist, plunged to his death from room 1018A in New York’s Statler Hotel, landing on a Seventh Avenue sidewalk just opposite Penn Station.
Olson’s ignominious end was written off as an unremarkable suicide of a depressed government bureaucrat who came to New York City seeking psychiatric treatment, so it attracted scant attention at the time.

The mass murder committed by the communists has been almost completely erased from modern history. Communism today is commonly portrayed as rebellious, anti-establishment, and 'cool.'

Update: With the way things are developing the question I am asking myself is; is this talk of not panicking, staying calm etc., just a way to have the virus actually spread further or is it being done as some sort of "war of the worlds" type psychological test on the public testing the possibility of some similar future scenario? At this point I do not know, I am personally leaning towards this being overblown and not a real threat, it is hard to say for sure though as we are being bombarded with mixed messages. I do know regardless of how this plays out I would not touch any so-called vaccine with a 50 foot pole. I would recommend people be cautious though as there is certainly no harm in exercising reservation, the prospect of this being a bioweapon is unfortunately a very real possibility.
