Our Declaration for Lasting Peace in 2015
; Staring at the utopian story of 63 years after the end of Occupied Japan
August 6, 2015, HiroshimaMore than 200,000 vivid lives were thrown into the death in a split second. The intentional
nuclear attack brought the solar-like super high heat wave and the gigantic blast beyond
description to this massacre at Hiroshima and Nagasaki cities. Preceding this disaster morethan 100,000 people running around to escape died in only one night through the flamescaused by great many large incendiary cylinders dropped in Tokyo residential areas by many
US-Bombers. More than several 100,000 lives were lost to other continual air-raids all over
the Japanese cities. (Have a moment of silence please!) The atomic bombings and such carpet
bombings constituted war crimes undoubtedly, breaking international law which wascommitted on innocent Japanese non-combatants mainly in merely half a year till August,1945. Even 70 years after, those people who have survived from such a heinous atrocities by
the two Atomic Bombings are unable to escape from anguish and fear in their bodies andemotions until now. Our fathers, mothers, brothers and sisters could not, the people who wereexposed to unlawful attacks could not, have removed from the bottom of their heart; thecriticism, resentment, mortification and humiliation experienced at that time.
The late Masuji Ibuse, the novelist described the scene when Hiroshima collapsed and fell
into ashes. “Around Sorazaya-cho, they found the fire blaze licked these district. Various
shapes of dead bodies were scattered. Upper parts of the body had burned into bone. Only
one hand and one leg are left in its own shape barely and the remainder is skeleton. The
surroundings filled with awful stench emitted from these human’s bodies everywhere.”1) InNagasaki, a record shows “some are dying, some just between life and death are groaning in
pain, and strong ones are attending casualties very enthusiastically. Among 780 people,
more than 150 people were in fairly good condition at first, but in the next 10 days, people
started dying one after another and finally, just about 20 people survived.”2) The people who
experienced the same ordeal understood that this horrible landscape was the mirror of theheinous action of the attackers themselves. Under this extreme circumstance, while “peopleendured shrieking in agony and scariest hell of sleeping alongside corpses in the utmost
humble manner,”3) people ascending to heaven left a cry of “please do retaliate… Mr. Soldier,”a voice from their very final state of mind. But just 9 month later, a report said in Nagasaki“we can see now numbers of reconstructed housings, busy market with many people,1

wrecked cathedral, and a girl with bandage on her head.”4) You helped each other underthat Hell, kept your dignified and indomitable spirit, acted in the manner of orderly deeds
and then opened up the base for reconstruction in such a short time. We shall express oursincere gratitude and pay our deepest respect to you. We are now blessed with the prosperity
as your posterity.

We will engrave in our mind your volition and thorny path andtribulations firmly. And we hereby politely bow our heads and say “We thank you from thebottom of our hearts.”
But now, there are the facts that we do not have to forget. Seven years of our occupied
period which removed the freedom of speech in Japan hid the true story of the war crimes.
The shouts from the spirit of the victims have been silenced. And all the truth from the war’s
outbreak, then the Atomic Bombings and to our defeat, had turned into just stories made up
by the occupation forces themselves. They kept hiding their crime of inhumane actions, but
only accused Japan. 63 years since the end of occupation, a phrase “Do not let the war
memory be gone!” is now heard everywhere in Japan. What exactly was the truth about thewar? Can we really say that the 70th year after the war is our own anniversary?
In 1944, an English Ministry statement noted “The general perceptions are that the U.S.
was forced into the War but this is an extremely false representation of history. The U.S. haveprovoked Japan into the war extreme harshly, which led Japan to have no choice but to attack
Pearl Harbor.”5) A man who was a U.S. Representative at the time of the war’s start had
published about his experiences in the political world later saying that “President Rooseveltand Secretary of State Cordell Hull issued an ultimatum secretly to Japan with clear
intention.”6) He then added “Japan only got to choose either one from suicide of the states,surrender, or to start the war. When the facts began to leak out that the U.S. Government did
not warn the garrison of Pearl Harbor even though they received advanced information on theattack, pro-war faction members in the Roosevelt administration started drastic actions toconceal various facts including such an ultimatum.”6) Charles Augustus Lindbergh who isfamous for his transatlantic flight wrote in his diary “December 8th; the Japanese surprise
attack should not surprise me, because we Americans had actually been instigating Japan tostart the war for many weeks.”7) *1 It is widely known that the U.S. had already “entered thewar from the backdoor before Pearl Harbor” after all.
The Asian Continent at the last stage of the Qing Dynasty was the territorial competitive
target of the great world powers including Japan. The U.S, which was lagging behind, later
jumped into the race under the slogan of “Open Door and Equal Opportunity Policy.” In those2

days Manchuria, the birthplace of the Qing Dynasty, was a well known area in the reportpresented to the League of Nations as “there are many features without an exact parallel inother parts of the world.____ They are, on the contrary, exceedingly complicated, and only anintimate knowledge of all the facts, as well as of their historical background, should entitle
anyone to express a definite opinion upon them.” 8) The U.S. tried to initiate a blatant advanceto The South Manchuria Railway, the company which Japan took over from Russia after theRusso-Japanese War, but the negotiation between Japan and the U.S. broke down. And that
became one of the underlying causes for the Great War between Japan and the U.S. later. At
the Conference in Potsdam during WWII, “Truman intended to make Japanese surrender
without any support from the Soviet Union by developing nuclear weapons to a successfullevel; Churchill intended to stop Soviet Union’s advance to the middle of Europe by hastening
the Atomic Bomb drop; Soviet Union intended to join the war to obtain profit while the U.S.
and U.K.’s interest started to wane at the later stage of the war…”9)*2 All these facts suggestthat the U.S. and U.K just tried to protect themselves from the Soviet Union’s advancement
at the expense of Japan with the Atomic Bomb.” The war demand more serious politicaltactics for the countries involved than during the ordinary times. The U.K. made a war
declaration to Germany against its advance into Poland, but started to ask for help from theU.S. when the situation became tougher withdrawing from Europe’s main land and leaving
Poland as it were. In spite of President Roosevelt promise to stay out of war which was a main
factor in order to be elected as The U.S. President successfully, he actually supplied military
assistance to the Chinese Nationalist Party by abandoning the pledge to be a neutral power,with covert tactics to instigate the Japanese to start a preemptive attack. This is the true
picture of the Great War, U.K. shook hands with the Soviet Union which had terminated theexistence of Poland by making an agreement with Germany; the U.S. lured the Soviet Union
to break its nonaggression pact with Japan by dangling dividends in front of its eyes; theSoviet Union took this bait; these are just the scenes showed that the almost all the usual
nations possess their own dishonesties.
After the Occupation of Japan, the Supreme Commander MacArthur soon formed aworking group including no Japanese and no constitutional experts to produce an “impromptu
Constitution draft” under his supervision. It was then translated by American staff andJapanese bureaucrats who were bound to the GHQ’s intention. And the Occupation Army
dispatched Japanese former soldiers to the Korean War ignoring “Un-recognition of the rightof belligerency of the state” after the enforcement of this Constitution. The clauses of3

“Freedom of speech, press and all other expression,” “No censorship shall be maintained,” and“The secrecy of any means of communications” were all ignored and the GHQ initiated strict
control and censorship of all the press and publication, and private letters were opened. The
stipulation of “No person shall be held criminally liable for an act which was lawful at thetime it was committed” was also completely crushed at the Tokyo and Yokohama Trials.
Spreading a utopian story of justice by winners, Japanese and none of the ‘Allied Forces’
members were judged for war crimes… they were executed along with an overriding theConstitution which was invented by winners. This Constitution still working and the current
Construction could be described as filled with falsehoods from the beginning. Therefore, it isbeyond being dishonest and rather comical for the constitutional scholars who only repeat theword unconstitutional (Constitution itself is deformed) about a bill aiming to deal with thedangerous situation towards destruction of international order continuing in Eastern Europeand waters in East Asia, and instead propose utterly no suggestions what path our country
should take. Do you really expect China to stop their aggressive distortion of the international
order if the falsely self-proclaimed “Atomic Bomb Survivors Represents” voice against theinherent right of collective self-defense to the Prime Minister? The comic magazines as aneffective educational book of peace “Barefoot Gen,” who encourages people to worship Atomic
Bomb victims because that Atomic Bomb ended the war is an obvious insult to the bomb-shell
victims all over Japan. We must now overcome the “Failure of 70 years of anti-nuclear peace
activities” which is the result of both the 63-year dazzle from the unilateral story created by
the victors, and antiquated Constitution which has bound the people’s mind still now. Ourpeace is achieved only when we recover the mental connection with our ancestors, squarewith the reality happening in the international politics, and be determination to establish asystem and the resolution in order to protect ourselves upon our honor as an independent
country. And to prevent ever repeating such an illegal error!
