With all the fantastic work this forum has brought forth in regards to the 9/11 'eyewitnesses' I thought it might be interesting to start looking into some of the atomic bomb 'eyewitnesses'.
I've only done a little research so far but thought I'd share the laughable case of Professor Shoji Sawada.
Shoji is a Theoretical Particle Physicist at Nagoya University except, well, he isn't.
Amongst his work is his discovery that the real effects of radiation from Hiroshima & Nagasaki had been 'covered up'. He helped show that rather than being completely unaffected by the radiation exposure caused by their Atomic bombing's the people of those blighted cities in actual fact suffered twice as many birth effects as compared with the rest of Japan's population.
I'm sure he's done a whole load of other interesting work.No allowance was made for exposure to fallout or rainout because it was stated there was none. Infact, heavy 'black rain' containing Uranium oxide particles and highly radioactive fission products fell over a wide area extending to 5km to the west and northwest of the bomb blast.
This Uranium - which remained decades later in the soil as a long term marker of the weight of fallout - was measured by my friend Prof Shoji Sawada and colleagues in 1983, and published in the Journal of Radiation Research in the paper 'Uranium isotopes in Hiroshima black rain'.
His later paper 'Cover-up of the effects of internal exposure by residual radiation from the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki' was published in the Journal Medicine, Conflict and Survival in 2007.
The black rain contaminated all three groups. So the apparent weakness of the effect from gamma way exposure has a simple explanation - it was overwhelmed by a much stronger effect from the black rain.
Thus the NIC 'controls' were not true controls at all, because all were exposed to the 'black rain', which caused far greater long term health damage. As Sawada (2007) writes:
"The effects of internal exposure due to intake of tiny radioactive particles are more severe than those of external exposure, explaining the difference between the official criteria and the actual state of the survivors."
More interesting still is the 'fact' that Shoji is an atomic bomb witness & survivor...
As a 13-year-old, Dr Sawada experienced the US nuclear attack against Japan from his home, situated just 1400 metres from the hypocentre of the Hiroshima bomb.
Here's his story...
When the atomic bomb was dropped I was 13 years old. I was sick on that day, then at the moment of the bombing I was sleeping at home, about 1,400m from ground zero. Therefore I did not see the flash of the heat ray nor feel the shock wave of the blast...
... My mother said that she was unable to move, that her legs were caught between big beams or pillars. I
tried with all my might to pull away these beams or pillars. But it was far beyond my ability. I called out
in vain to adults for help, but those wounded could do nothing more than find a safe place for
themselves. During rescue work of my mother I asked her “Is this a big earthquake?” She said, “No, a
huge bomb exploded very close to our house.”
I did not notice the fires at first, but it was spreading gradually. At the instant of the atomic bomb
explosion, everything to burn caught fires but was smoldering for a while. When I told my mother of the
approaching fires, she told me, “ You should survive, you should become a good person by studying
well.” Though she could not see the fire, which was growing stronger, she said, “That’s enough, never
mind your mother. Get away from here!”
I hesitated in leaving my mother. But when a large fire storm arose, my mother said, “Get away right now.” It seemed faint, but it was strong, and so I could decide to leave without her.
As I escaped, I said,
“Forgive me, mother!”
That was the last conversation I had with my mother.
