<div style="float: none; font-family: verdana, tahoma, arial, san-serif; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.3em; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;">Here, in summary, are the primary facts. As you read this, remember that the U.S. government not only amnestied those involved in the following war crimes, but <a href="http://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2005/08/15/national/u-s-paid-unit-731-members-for-data/#.UizY7GRoRns" style="font-weight: bold; outline: none;" target="_blank">paid them</a> for the information they could provide, and in some cases hired them.</span></div><div style="float: none; font-family: verdana, tahoma, arial, san-serif; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.3em; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;">The decision was made by the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the State Department, and possibly the new CIA and the new president, Truman. The idea for the deal was prompted by General Douglas MacArthur, military doctors at Ft. Detrick, and officials in the U.S. Chemical Warfare Service.</span></div><div style="float: none; font-family: verdana, tahoma, arial, san-serif; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.3em; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;">It was famously decided that all that you are about to read now would be kept as “top secret,” not to be released outside “intelligence channels.” And it wasn’t… for about 35 years.</span></div><div align="center" style="float: none; font-family: verdana, tahoma, arial, san-serif; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.3em; padding: 0px;"><a href="http://knowthelies.com/files/images/2/military-Unit-731-japanese-army-invaded-china.jpg" style="font-weight: bold; outline: none;"><span style="background-color: white; color: black;"><img alt="military-Unit-731-japanese-army-invaded-china" class="resize400wide" height="437" src="http://knowthelies.com/files/images/2/military-Unit-731-japanese-army-invaded-china.jpg" style="border: 0px; height: auto; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; width: 400px;" width="639" /></span></a></div><div style="float: none; font-family: verdana, tahoma, arial, san-serif; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.3em; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;">From the time the Japanese Imperial Army occupied Manchuria (in the early 1930s) until the end of World War II, its special <a href="http://www.fepow-community.org.uk/arthur_lane/html/biological_warfare_unit_731_in.htm" style="font-weight: bold; outline: none;" target="_blank">Unit 731</a>, and dozens of associated units, engaged in wide-scale lethal experiments on biological and chemical warfare, including the use of poisons for assassination purposes and the wide-scale use of herbicides.</span></div><div style="float: none; font-family: verdana, tahoma, arial, san-serif; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.3em; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;">These experiments were conducted on thousands of prisoners, estimates ranging from 3000 to 20,000 POWs and civilian prisoners. The exact number may never be known.</span></div><div style="float: none; font-family: verdana, tahoma, arial, san-serif; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.3em; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;">Many of these prisoners were experimented upon without anaesthesia and by way of vivisection. The prisoners at the central Unit 731 facility at Pingfan in Manchuria were incinerated in crematoria after the military doctors were done with them.</span></div><div style="float: none; font-family: verdana, tahoma, arial, san-serif; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.3em; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;">As I recently was able to derive by <a href="http://valtinsblog.blogspot.com/2013/08/japanese-wwii-torture-document-eerily.html" style="font-weight: bold; outline: none;" target="_blank">research into Soviet documents</a>, some of the prisoners — called “marutas” or “logs” by Japanese researchers and military officials – sent for lethal experimentation by Unit 731, Unit 100, and like facilities were military or intelligence agency prisoners who could not be trusted to remain silent about the torture they had received from Japanese interrogators.</span></div><div style="float: none; font-family: verdana, tahoma, arial, san-serif; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.3em; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;">As did the Nazis, Japanese researchers conducted experiments on malaria, syphilis, and on freezing. (Japanese and German collaboration on these programs was likely closer than previously thought.)</span></div><div style="float: none; font-family: verdana, tahoma, arial, san-serif; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.3em; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;">Male prisoners were forced to rape female prisoners in order to inoculate them with venereal disease. Other prisoners were forced to stay outside in sub-zero temperatures, as part of Japanese military frostbite experiments.</span></div>

(An academic book on the subject was<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Guests-Emperor-Secret-History-Japans/dp/1591143772" style="font-weight: bold; outline: none;" target="_blank">published</a> by Naval Institute Press a few years ago.)</span></div><div style="float: none; font-family: verdana, tahoma, arial, san-serif; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.3em; padding: 0px;"><strong style="background-color: white;">Large-scale Use of Biological Weapons in War Was Covered-Up</strong></div><div style="float: none; font-family: verdana, tahoma, arial, san-serif; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.3em; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;">But the experiments were only part of the crimes, as the Imperial Army implemented the use of the bacteriological weapons against the Chinese and Soviets during World War II, killing, according to recent estimates, somewhere between a <a href="http://www.upi.com/Science_News/2013/08/06/Evidence-linked-to-Japanese-germ-warfare-against-China-in-WWII/UPI-22671375827795/" style="font-weight: bold; outline: none;" target="_blank">quarter</a> and <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/1989/09/19/opinion/l-get-the-pentagon-out-of-biological-warfare-tested-in-manchuria-799589.html" style="font-weight: bold; outline: none;" target="_blank">half-a-million</a> people with plague, typhoid, and other diseases, and leaving others <a href="http://www.dontow.com/2009/04/japans-biological-and-chemical-warfare-in-china-during-wwii/" style="font-weight: bold; outline: none;" target="_blank">injured for life</a>.</span></div><div style="float: none; font-family: verdana, tahoma, arial, san-serif; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.3em; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;">Japan bombed cities with specially constructed bacterial bombs, as part of a plan that included well-poisonings, the release of infected rats and fleas (bred specially for the purpose), and other forms of mass inoculations.</span></div><div style="float: none; font-family: verdana, tahoma, arial, san-serif; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.3em; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;">After World War II and the blanket amnesty for all the BW researchers, who were led by Kwantung Army Lt.

According to <a href="http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/world/archives/2006/08/12/2003322863" style="font-weight: bold; outline: none;" target="_blank">Nationalist Chinese sources in Taipei</a>, approximately 700,000 chemical munitions were left abandoned in China after World War II.</span></div><div style="float: none; font-family: verdana, tahoma, arial, san-serif; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.3em; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;">The Chinese government says that approximately 2,000 people still die each year from encounters with such ordinance.
