The Empire of Japan killed and tortured up to half a million people in Northern China, conducting unbelievably horrific experiments as part of the Unit 731 operation, from 1937 to 1945. Victims included the infant children resulting from r*pes carried out by personnel on captives they referred to as "logs."
This is how the US handled the perpetrators after the war (from Wikipedia):

The list of things rich men will do and overlook to prevent communism from impacting their international investments is infinite.

People defend dropping the atomik bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki by saying Japan committed war crimes in Nanjing or elsewhere, making it sound like the US did it in the name of justice for Koreans and Chinese, but then you learn afterwards the US pardoned the Japanese scientists who tortured and experimented on Chinese civilians in exchange for data. America did not care about civilians in East Asia, if they did they would've punished the war criminals instead of punishing all the civilians (including Koreans) that were in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

How are there not riots in the streets?
Looking back on 2023:
We know our education system is bunk and that NASA was started with help from a literal 1940s Nazi. We know this country was built on genocide, bigotry, and the backs of immigrants & slaves.
We know we're colonizers, we know our first President's teeth were made of a combination of his slaves' teeth and wood. We know the last President ran his campaign off sexual assault jokes.
We know the first time the Confederate flag was ever in the US Capital was on January 6th, 2021. We know approximately 50% of white medical trainees think black people have higher pain tolerance (especially black women).
We know black people are more likely to get bitten by police dogs and are more likely to get death sentences instead of life in prison like their white counterparts committing the same crime. We know you can predict if you'll be a victims of police brutality based on where past lynchings have happened & the amount of money a you make in a year.
We know that America helped cover up Unit 731 and gave the "scientists" immunity. We know that America has been at war for more time than not and we know school shootings are so "old news" that the news doesn't even cover most of them anymore.
We know the United States has an unusually high homeless population and that 40% to 60% of homeless people in the United States have jobs. We know the United States isn't opposed to human experimentation and we know that slavery is illegal unless you're in prison.
We know prisoners are used to fight fires for free, we know some prisons have cotton farms for the prisoners to work on for free. We know 1 in 5 people on death row are innocent and that police are known to fake/plant evidence and to assault witnesses & suspects that don't give them what they want to hear.
We know judges are more likely to give death sentences than life in prison when they're hangry (I'm NOT joking) and police were originally militias paid for by rich people to get their runaway slaves black. We know we are one of the most, if not the most, dangerous "developed" countries in the world.
Why do we perform non consensual surgeries on (intersex) babies right out of the womb without the parents' permission, but we make consensual surgeries (gender affirming care) illegal? Why is gender affirming care (plastic surgery, masculine voice classes) only legal and normal for cis people?
Why do we let people who are one foot in the grave sign our death certificates? Why do we let people who clearly have dementia run one of the globe's superpowers? Why are we letting the oldest bigots in the country decide our future?
So why are there not riots in the streets? When did we become so complacent to our own demise? Why do we deny the ship is sinking when we are up to our knees in water? What is wrong with us? Are we pathetic or broken or wrong in a way that is incomprehensible to us? Why are we pretending everything is normal?
Why are there not riots in the streets?

Chemistry in anthrax
Tumblr media
The 2001 anthrax attacks, also known as Amerithrax occurred in the United States over the course of several weeks beginning on September 18, 2001, one week after the September 11 terrorist attacks. Letters containing anthrax spores were mailed to several news media offices and to Senators Tom Daschle and Patrick Leahy, killing five people and infecting 17 others.
Anthrax is an infection caused by the bacterium Bacillus anthracis. It can occur in four forms: skin, lungs, intestinal, and injection. The skin form presents with a small blister with surrounding swelling that often turns into a painless ulcer with a black center. Due to its high fatality rates, anthrax was used as a biological weapon. For instance, the Unit 731 anthrax experiments involved infecting prisoners, primarily Chinese prisoners of war and civilians, deliberately with infectious agents, and exposing prisoners to bombs designed to penetrate the skin with infectious particles. All types of anthrax infection can be treated with antibiotics and effectively reduce mortality.
Ciprofloxacin is one of the drugs approved and recommended by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to prevent anthrax.

春日神社、芝山
Inscription on memorial to the war dead at Kasuga Shrine, Shibayama, Chiba Prefecture, donated to the shrine by Ishii Shiro.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I think I might get the dubious honour of being the first person to post about this in English. The small town of Shibayama, literally next door to Tokyo's Narita Airport, under its former name of Kamo was the hometown of Ishii Shiro and his family, and during the war years he recruited a large number of people from the village to work at Unit 731 in the interests of maintaining loyalty and secrecy. Today little trace of that history remains, unsurprisingly, but at a small local Shinto shrine named Kasuga Shrine we find one piece of literal hard evidence, in this inscription on a memorial stone for war victims which clearly states it wad donated to the shrine by Ishii Shiro.
The big text reads 忠魂碑, approximately "for the consolation of the loyal spirits", and then in the smaller text on the left we clearly see 醫學博士石井四郎, "professor/doctor of medicine Ishii Shiro" (the first two characters are unsimplified forms of 医学, this was almost certainly erected long before the end of ww2.).
Photos are mine from when I went to have a look around immediately after arriving into Narita Airport one day.

Unit 731: How to Uncover One of The World's Worst War Crimes
The horrors of Unit 731 were almost lost to history. The US covered up Japan's war crimes for the chance to get ahold of Japan's research. Research that was compiled due to Japan's human experimentation. Japan's human experiments were an "open secret." The experiments were so rampant and wide spread that many of Japan's Universities used such methods.
The research was useless. It was torture for the sake of torture. Even if they "discovered" something, it would still be inaccurate due to the victims being starved, dehydrated, and maimed. The "discovery" wouldn't apply to healthy citizens.
Due to the scientists/researchers handing over their "research" to the United States, Douglas MacArthur was able to hand the perpetrators full immunity. They should've met the rope. They wouldn't have statues and monuments currently standing in Japan in their honor.
The details of Unit 731 are horrifying. There were zero (0) survivors.
Videos of the horrors of Unit 731 are gaining popularity, however, if you went up to someone on the street and asked them about Unit 731, chances are they'd ask you, "What's Unit 731?"
youtube

Many of the perpetrators were not only let off scot free, but were rewarded prolific careers. The are monuments and statues of them in Japan. People who committed war crimes have monuments in their honor. Japan didn't even acknowledge Unit 731 until 1988. They did not apologize for what happened. The body count of Unit 731 is heavily speculated because they would "label" their prisoners. They were tattooed with a number. However, when the prisoner would die, the number the deceased was "labeled" with would be reused.
To clarify, the Japanese government was well aware of Unit 731. The Japanese government funded war crimes.
Here's some articles and books.

Searching for performance art
Hi! This is my first post and is going to be my main post where I explain what I’m looking for but I will definitely post a short version
So:
I remember a video of a play where a few “military officials“ were in front of the stage while a doctor was experimenting on a patient. The all reacted a different way to the sounds from the doctor, like one was crying, one was ignoring it and they would kind of dancing/sway with the noises? Towards the end of it all a doctor came out of the patients stomach. So it was an art performance, sort of like the blue man group and I’m thinking it was supposed to be about Unit 731, where Japanese soldiers would experiment on Chinese soldiers and even their own military. Could completely be a different event though, I just know it’s referencing something. Plus it was completely live, like a ?host? talked to the “surgeon”. I doubt this was a performance in English. I want to say Japan because of their history but it was definitely around Asia. It didn’t took too old, I would be willing to say the 2000s, maybe even early 2010s. Thanks for reading all this, any help is welcomed!

The US Covered Up Japan's Worst Warcrime. Here's How.
This is an important video and I’m posting it here in case the youtube algorithim doesn’t do Tim’s video any favors. 
I’ve known about the comfort women given my own state’s past during WWII but to see and contextualize the war crimes that were covered up by Japan because USA got greedy with potential new bioweapons to use against the Soviet Union (and to be fair they were also doing the same thing to the USA) - it’s horrible and it should be a story that is told, even though it doesn’t have a satisfying ending.

The experiments of Unit 731
The experiments of Unit 731
++++++CONTAINS GRAPHIC IMAGES++++++++++ We have all heard about the experiments conducted by the Nazis during World War 2, but relatively little is know of the experiments by the Japanese Imperial Army.

"The second main target of recent criticism — the mention of 'violence perpetrated against and by African Americans' — occurs in a section of the standards focused on Black communities since Reconstruction. It cites the 1906 Atlanta Race Massacre, the 1919 Washington, D.C. Race Riot, the 1920 Ocoee massacre, the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre and the 1923 Rosewood Massacre." - Tampa Bay Times
WOW that sure is a lot of massacres! I wonder why someone would resist that! Sure is a MYSTERY.
Seriously, what's next, "Hitler wasn't sooooo bad" "Unit 731 was finnneeee actually" "School shootings build characteeerrrr" ????? As someone who had a teacher who not so low-key supported slavery in 6th grade in Tennessee, this shit make me SEETHE
When are people going to figure out that CTR is just accurate history? When are we going to be taught about Heartbreak Day in school? We aren't even taught about Unit 731 in school, which was happening at the SAME TIME as WW2???? I learned about Unit 731 THIS YEAR. I am OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL
