No.10: Chapter 9: Did the Atomic Bombing of Japan
Prevent a “Staggering Number” of Deaths?

“Many have asked whether it was necessary to drop the bomb, and from studying this period for 25 years, I would say without this bomb, an invasion of Japan in November 1945 would most likely have gone forward and cost the lives of millions.” (p. 275)

For someone who has studied this issue for 25 years, Rigg’s statement show very poor understanding of this issue surrounding the use of atomic bombs and does not go beyond commonly held myths.

Herbert Hoover, the 31st President of the United States, left behind a large volume, Freedom Betrayed. In this book he writes:

In May, Lune and July, 1945, Truman refused to take notice of the Japanese white flags. Truman was not obliged to Roosevelt’s “Unconditional Surrender” folly. It had been denounced by our own military leaders in Europe. Peace could have been with Japan only one concession. That was the preservation of Mikado who was the spiritual as well as secular head of the state. His position was rooted in a thousand years of Japanese religious faith and tradition. And we finally conceded this after hundreds of thousands of human lives had been sacrificed. (Freedom Betrayed) (p.881)

Rigg’s assertion, which does not doubt that the invasion of Japan planned for November 1945 was “absolutely necessary” and resulted in “millions of casualties” is extremely narrow-minded, one-sided, and foolish and does not grasp realities – hard to believe coming from a #scholar” who has been considering this issue for 25 years!

“The number of people killed by two atomic bombs pales in comparison to what could have been, and, in many respects, what Japan had already been doing throughout its rule.” (p. 275)

Rigg entirely justifies the nuclear attack on Japan, arguing that “140,00” victims in Hiroshima and “70,000” victims in Nagasaki were insignificant compared to 30 million Asian victims slaughtered by Japan. As I demonstrated it through eight chapters, 30 million is a complete fake. He committed a crime of fabricating false figures as well as of using it for his justification of atomic bombing crime. I would like Rigg to hear Herbert Hoover’s conscientious words on the atomic bombing:

“The seventeenth wandering of American statesmanship was Truman’s immoral order to drop the atomic bomb on the Japanese. Not only had Japan been repeatedly suing for peace but it was the act of unparalleled brutality in all American history. It will forever weigh heavily on the American conscience. (Freedom Betrayed) (p. 882
