My uncle, whom I regard a genius, made a confession this
morning. That he heard of something called Unit 731 only yesterday by one of
his relatives and that it shamed him to realize that he hadn’t read up about it
nor knew about it all this time. Well that made two of us. I was at office in
front of my computer when he called and being the pedant I am, while still on
the phone, I typed Unit 731 on Google Image search. The first image was too
bloody. Too graphic and too horrifying that it looked ‘treated’. The 2nd
image practically threw me off the chair. For reasons best known to humanity I promised
myself not to paste it anywhere in my blog. But readers curious enough can check
it on their own. The image was of a woman, spread eagled, laid down on her back
with her abdomen cut open to show her intestines and a fully grown baby, with
its head engaged in her uterus.
Unit 731 was a part of the Japanese ‘Imperial’ army during
World War 2 that functioned as a covert surgical facility that did experiments
on live humans. Heard of “animal testing?” I have and I have always applauded ‘The
Body Shop” of UK for speaking and acting against animal testing while elevating
the cosmetic industry as a conscientious trade. Forget about animal testing. Will you be man
enough to watch true to life footage of human testing done by Unit 731 during
world war 2? “The Men behind the Sun” is a movie that documents the atrocities
carried out by this unit in explicit detail. The difference between a horror
film and this motion picture is that the latter is based on true incidents. In
one scene in “The men behind the sun”, a Chinese woman is bound with her arms
outstretched. Amidst her cries of pain and terror, the barbarians freeze her
arms, thaw them, freeze them again before peeling the skin and flesh off revealing
only the bones. All done while the victim was one hundred percent conscious
with her full view aimed at what is happening to her arms.
Why this torture? I read up more.. and found out about
someone called Dr. Ken Yuasa. A living culprit of the atrocities carried out in
the name of Unit 731. I leave you space to make your own judgment after reading
his piece. The man is in his 90s today and had thought of remorse!. Good for
him.
George W Bush killed the gravity of words like “Weapons of
Mass destruction” “Chemical weapons” “Biological weapons” do you remember how
he even pronounce “Nuclear”? He can only muster up to say something like “Nukiller!”
.. and Iraq became ‘Airak’ because of uncle Sam. So Just do a simple Wikipedia
search on Unit 731 and find out the real meaning of ‘Biological weapons’. You will
be damned to find out that Unit 731 had actually vivisected (surgery done on
living organisms for experimental purposes) humans without any sort of anesthesia
to provide Typhoid and dysentery bacillus in order to develop biological
weapons.
Talk about ‘Crimes against Humanity’ . Imagine what workload
would Amnesty International have had if it still operated during this time?.
Japan… oh Japan…
