in this alone, and among many other of your actions, you have clearly made an invaluable contribution to America and the healing between all people. mat this continue to move into the minds and hearts of us all.
Having a President with morals and a willingness to talk about the crimes of our unelected world leaders and do something about it would be wonderful, no doubt. I wrote a song about...
HIROSHIMA
Somebody had the idea that it would be okay
to build a bomb that could blow a whole city away
so, they set aside their hearts and they set about the task
a few knew they would rule the world, they didn’t have to ask
A secret city in the hills of Eastern Tennessee
To make the poison heart of the bomb they didn’t need
Their patriotic workers would be sacrificial lambs
But they were just a tiny drop of the blood upon their hands
Hiroshima hear me now as sure as I’m alive
I don’t agree with what they did in 1945
The last battle of war was over by April
and the generals knew the war was at its end
But they had to see how many people they could kill
A slaughter they can’t morally defend
The bombing raids were in full swing by the month of May
Fire-bombing Japan’s cities with impunity
From little Tinian Island near the coast of Japan
While in defense Japan could not even raise a hand
Hiroshima hear me now as sure as I’m alive
I don’t agree with what they did in 1945
Early morning August 6th Enola Gay
Lifted off with Little Boy hidden in her bay
To one of the two cities that had been saved
For their special event so depraved
At 8:16 AM it exploded 2000 feet above Shima Hospital
yes, it disintegrated everybody there
The pilot said “It was all impersonal.”
Said they had to drop the bomb on Hiroshima
Said they’d save a half a million lives
But that was just another of their many lies
and a 140,000 there were vaporized
Hiroshima hear me now as sure as I’m alive
I don’t agree with what they did in 1945
There were GI’s held at Hiroshima and Nagasaki too
If you think it mattered you don’t know them like I do
The power hungry wealthy elite mad men of the West
Have the biggest bombs and their bombers are the best
And still today our country will not own up to the fact
That we blew off two whole cities nearly off the map
To impress the Russians that we would not sit still
for socialism had to go, see how many we can kill.
And one bomb exploded over Shima Hospital, that reminds me of Gaza and Israel's attacks on the hospitals as well. Same tactics and mindset and the propaganda of clean just wars.

You describe the mindset very clearly and honestly. It reminds me to always separate elites and population. Thanks.
Now apologize to the Japanese, American sailors, and inhabitants of Hawaii for Pearl Harbor which there is evidence was a set up.
I have addressed that incident elsewhere but happy to talk about it again. Everything of the last hundred years of lies must go
