 Debunking the Holocaust Hoax

 Author:  Topic:  Posted:
Jun 07, 2002
 Comments:
It seems hard to believe that less than 60 years ago we were naive enough to believe everything our government told us without question. It is even harder to imagine that today forces still exist in Washington who will stop at nothing to prevent the dissemination of pure, unadulterated Truth. It is time for the outrageous lies propagated for the past half century to be put to rest, and time for the real story behind one of the United States' greatest cover-ups to be told. We at Adequacy have uncovered incontrovertible proof that the so-called Nuclear "Holocaust" in Hiroshima and Nagasaki was in fact staged in a California movie studio.

The Enola Gay and &Pilot&
The Enola Gay and her "pilot"

By Summer of 1945 it had become apparent to Harry S. Truman and the rest of the US military leadership that they were not going to be able to defeat Japan the same way they crushed Germany. For starters, the Russians weren't very interested in helping them this time around. Adding to this was the difficulty of landing an invasion force on Japanese shores. Sure, there were similarities between crossing the English channel and crossing the Sea of Japan, but when the commanders took a closer look they realized that the Korea Strait was a whole bunch bigger than the Strait of Dover. Further, the military hadn't even gotten around to stocking the Korean Peninsula with US armed forces yet. There appeared to be no reasonable way to conquer the island nation.

Over on the other side of the battle line, Emperor Hirohito was getting a might bit sick of the war. The way he saw it, Japan's future would be better served by focusing on the rapidly developing field of consumer electronics than it would by dominating the Asian Pacific militarily. He was also running out of Kamikaze pilots. In late June he secretly met with Truman in Honolulu to craft a plan.

Little Boy & Fat Man
Little Boy (left) and Fat Man (right)

Hirohito was ready to surrender, but there was the issue of saving face. He knew his countrymen would never accept the idea that they had simply made a bad decision, so he and Truman came up with a way to make it appear that the Japanese surrender was completely justified. Under the influence of stiff cocktails, they invented a preposterous scientific theory involving splitting invisible particles in such a way that the resultant explosion was thousands of times more powerful than TNT. Then they would tell the world of 2 bombs being loaded with these invisible particles and then dropped on Japanese cities, completely "destroying" them in the process. As a final touch they named the project after the Manhattans they were drinking.

All of the above is not simply idle speculation on our part. We have uncovered concrete proof that the "bombings" of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were faked.

Destroyed Factory

In the picture above you see a destroyed factory, ostensibly located in Hiroshima and destroyed by an "Atom" bomb if we are to believe the photographer. However, utilizing highly specialized photographic analysis software previously only available to the CIA, we have discovered that this photo was not taken in Japan at all. The enlarged detail below reveals it to be set in a city on the opposite side of the Pacific:

Yes, the photo is a fake. Based on a detailed review of shadow angles and the location of the sign in the background it is plainly apparent that this shot was taken on Warner Brothers' Lot 5 in Hollywood California.

When we further investigate the Hollywood connection other irregularities start to crop up. As we all know from our history classes, the pilot of the plane Enola Gay was a man named Paul Warfield Tibbets, Jr. According to his biography, Tibbets was an Air Force man and a pilot through and through. Surely a man such as this would have no connections with the myth-making in Hollywood, right? Wrong. As we can plainly see from the Internet Movie Database, Paul Tibbets is in fact a longtime Hollywood insider. Pilot? No, but he plays one in Government hoaxes!

The Atomic Bomb Memorial Dome
The alleged Atomic Bomb Memorial Dome, surrounded in "ruins"

Noted World War II historian and Hollywood pundit Elenchos offers further insight into how the movie industry works, and how we can use this knowledge to further unveil this conspiracy:

[A]ll the names [are obviously] made up. Fat Man? Little Boy? Please. What kind of names are those for bombs? Or Tibbits. Absurd. And the "Sea of Japan"? That's like one of those placeholders you see in a movie script that sometimes never get replaced. You see them when the credits roll: "2nd woman", "Cashier in Department Store". I've heard rumors that in the original plan, the names Hiroshima and Nagasaki were just "Major Industrial Seaport" and "Second Major Industrial Seaport". You sometimes still see these titles used, in places where they neglected to replace them with the names they later made up for the "destroyed" cities.

Over in Japan the government was making its own magic. The image you see here is the Atomic Bomb Memorial Dome, allegedly taken shortly after the bombing in Hiroshima. This stark photograph is supposed to convey the devastation in that city with the one standing building embodying the strength and hope Hiroshima retained. This was a clever bit of trickery on the part of the Japanese, but recently unveiled archived items prove that this shot, like the one done in Hollywood, is a fake.

Several years ago a group of Japanese school children from Tokyo were on a field trip in Osaka visiting some of the many national treasures that city holds. At one point a few of them became separated from their group and wandered into a little-used basement portion of the building they were in. Behind a mysteriously unlocked door they discovered the smoking gun: They found one of the scale models that was used to create the fake devastation photos.

Scale model used to create fake photos
Scale model used to create fake photos

When the students attempted to alert others to their find they were quickly hushed by the government. Unfortunately, the proverbial cat had already escaped form his sacked confinement and people began to ask questions. Japanese officials managed to avoid the issue for months by brushing it off as "paranoid delusions", but eventually the demand became too great for them to ignore. In an attempt to quiet the restless public, a great ceremony was scheduled to be held at the Dome itself in Hiroshima to mark what was supposed to be the 50th anniversary of the bombing there. Press from around the world was invited.

When the event arrived the press was present in full force, enticed at the possibility that the 50 year long lie would be revealed. Remarkably though, there was indeed a dome, looking much like it did in the old pictures. The conspiracy advocates were set back and unsure of where they stood until a Hiroshima resident leaked the photo below in late 1999. The Atomic Dome was in fact new, as demonstrated by the construction scaffolding which surrounded it only a few short years ago.

New dome with scaffolding


After years of dedicated research we have finally uncovered the incontrovertible proof and been able to make the duplicity of the US and Japanese governments publicly known. Unfortunately we are not afforded the time to savor our accomplishments. The holocaust hoax was not an isolated incident, but merely one occurrence in a long and ongoing string of deceit. Even as you read this, US "military forces" are purportedly engaging in "battle", in a country allegedly "full of caves", while only a few hundred miles away two other "countries" are hovering on the brink of yet another "nuclear holocaust", supposedly because they disagree on a chunk of mountainous terrain named after a Led Zeppelin song. Knowing of past deception is not enough. The world's leaders are playing at dangerous games which affect us all, and it is our duty to seek out the truth and expose those who would invent "facts" in order to further their own aims.

waited until the last minute and sent a few token forces in the general direction of Japan. When the Japanese surrendered, he took advantage of being one of the "victors" to claim the Sakhalin Islands for the Soviet Union.

Why on earth would we drop bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki just because "Russia" "wanted" to defeat Japan? Are you some sort of dirty revisionist or something?

Since we know the film industry was in on it, it's easy to understand how this happened. "LAND" was removed from the sign so that "HOLLYWOOD" would be barely seen in some photographs, then put back for a few years. It was later removed in a ploy to make us skeptical observers look like hoaxers! Come on now, don't tell me you're so gullible you don't think the authorities can remove a few painted bits of metal overnight and put them back the next day. They could have simply used helicopters to lift the letters out.

the so-called "radiation sickness" is the product of massive Hollywood (coincidence? I think not) brainwashing of the masses. Actually, radiation is entirely beneficial, prolongs life, increses potency, and promotes hair growth. "Real" radiation sickness would increase the longevity of the population to the point that they would reproduce themselves into mass starvation; thus the government-hollywood axis of conspiracy has agreed to promulgate this mistaken belief. The power of the media is well demonstrated in those persons being treated for cancer with radiation, who ACTUALLY DEVELOP the alleged symptoms, in spite of there being no real reason to do so. Clearly, if radiation were dangerous as the conspiracy alleges, we wouldn't be treating cancer patients with it!!!
This demonstrates how we develop the symptoms we are told we will, not those which are actually resultant from the phenomenon in question.

Hiroshima did happen. I read a book on it once in grade 9, so it must of happened.
What then could of prompt this blatent delusion and outrageous lie? Adequacy has a history of very exact, yet controversial articles; so we can write off any attempts by the editors of spreading disinformation, and therefore the article must be a grand delusion.

When you consider that the general populace of Adequacy is made up of American jingoists, the cause behind this delusion becomes clear as Mexican well water. Simply, after 40 years of revising the reasons to drop the A-bomb on the innocent Japanese, the American public, of which Adequacy represents, has realized that the act was simply barbaric and unnessecary. How ironic that, "the greatest country in the world" is the only one to use man's most horrific weapon. The cognitive dissonance that arises from this contradiction produces a guilt so overpowering, that a massive delusion has been subconsciously created to absolve the reponsibilities of America's bloody and atomic past.

We can only hope the guilt surrounding the Slave Trade can be dealt with in a more healthy and constructive manner, or America is in for a long scizophrenic decline into the morrass from which she arose.

Ok: 3 questions for good ol' zikzak:

One: Did the CIA really have access to Photoshop before the public?

Two: Have you ever read any documentation on nuclear physics? Einstein's equation E=mc2 (energy equals mass times the speed of light squared) proves that you can generate a tremendous amount of energy from only a small amount of mass.

Three: If Truman and Hirohito named the project after the Manhattans they were drinking, then why did the Manhattan Project begin under Franklin D. Roosevelt?

Conclusion: Mr. zikzak must get his misinformation in line with history before he tries to dupe the rest of the Adequacy readers.

by First Incision on Sat Jun 8th, 2002 at 04:42:00 PM PST
You claim that this "E=MC^2" equation "proves" the atomic bomb. What exactly does this prove? It's just a couple of letters and numbers. Assuming that all this documentation on nuclear physics (real scientists call it "literature," by the way) supports "E=MC^2" as valid, that does not prove that the construction of such a bomb was feasible in the 1940's.

And of course they are going to say the Manhattan Project started during the Roosevelt administration. No one would believe you could construct a magic bomb in less than a few years! A multi-year history for a secret government agency full of scientists would not be the hardest part of faking an atomic holocaust.

Have you ever read any documentation on nuclear physics? Einstein's equation E=mc2 (energy equals mass times the speed of light squared) proves that you can generate a tremendous amount of energy from only a small amount of mass.

Proves? Come on, so you can use E=mc^2 to better estimate, say, kinetic energy of an object by calculating the increase in its mass as the function of its velocity, but really, do these fancy physics in any way "prove" that you can "generate" energy from mass?

It's like saying that you can generate infinite energy by singling out quarks - scientist's only conclusion would be that quarks can not be singled.

In exactly the same way, the irrefutable debunking of the little "evidence" we have about use of atomic "bombs," done by such a trustworthy source as Adequacy, and considering the fact that empires like USA and USSR would doubtlessly use such a power were it available to them, indicates without doubt that "atomic bombs" are infeasible, and their "existence" is only a myth.

I truly hope that Adequacy helps you not to be deluded into believing lies based on the so-called "scientific arguments," such as those that imply possibility of "converting" mass into energy.

Come on now people. Anyone who believe this has watched a few too many X-Files episodes.
The atom bomb was developed by many famous physicists worked on the A-Bomb, including Richard P. Feynman. Ever heard of him? As well as a little known person named Albert Eintstien. Both of these great minds had a part in the creation of the bomb, and to think that these two would be "in" on this "great conspiracy" is just madness.
Why is it that nuts like this always try to disprove an act that was done by their own country against a group of people? Why don't they ever try to diprove things that were done to their own country? Why not try to disprove that September 11th didn't happen. Or maybe Pearl Harbor didn't happen either. It's very easy to look at an event like the dropping of the A-Bomb, and say it didn't happen, simply because your own people/country didn't directly see the results.

for the definition of what the original author is refering to. A holocaust in the nuclear sense would be A holocaust, not THE Holocaust that is capitalized and a proper noun in history. Nobody has to ask what you're talking about when you say The Holocaust, as the author did. Were you to say A holocaust, one would have to ask you to specify the specific incident. Thanks. Later.
