    I can't wait to get a copy of this book. I've put it on my wish list at Half-Price Books.

    What's the matter with you guys? It must all be true, it's in his book. Publishing must make it true and besides I've seen it said on the internet, it has to be true.

    Doesn't it?

    Maybe?

    Just a little teeny bit?

    oh, pulp fiction.

    I wouldn't pay for his book...They would need to pay me to read this Toro Crapo.

    I believe you are correct and he's even funnier when he starts trying to tell all that the Japanese were ready to fold their tents and surrender before the atomic bomb missions.

    Mike wasn't scared off.

    He does Drive-by idiocy post on AHF. Rarely does he hang around to defend his position. Sometimes he does, but not often.

    As far as speculative scenarios are concerned, however, I still find Jules Verne unsurpassed.

    I've cited several sources. Did you read the Villa-Wilford article or Wilford's book? I cited the FBI memos and told you where you can find them. Villa and Wilford discuss several specific Japanese intercepts.

    But none that say what you claim. That renders them useless for supporting your claim.

    Sources? Let's see...
    Where are these Japanese intercepts & G2 decrypts? They would be your source. What we have here is Person A telling Person B, Person B told Person C who apparently wrote it down, or perhaps told Person D, who then wrote it down.

    Not to mention, it was not a code "word" for the Japanese to attack, but a code "phrase" - Climb Mount Niitaka. Oooops! If he got that wrong, what else did he get wrong?



    Thorpe-Poorten is not mutually corroborating. For it to be mutually corroborating, Thorpe would have gotten the same evidence from another source...He did not. Poorten was his source. Further, please provide the Japanese intercepts & Dutch decrypts of these intercepted transsmission/cables. Another case of Person A telling Person B.


    I could go on, but it will not convince you that all you are doing is parroting hearsay.

    Same crap Mikey pulls with his Japanese ready to surrender posits

    Paraphrasing . . .

    "The Japanese were ready to surrender and Truman knew it!"

    "how did he know?"

    "There are messages!"

    "Show me."

    "Well, there's this <and a long quote>"

    "But that's not an actual message is it? Shall I point you to an actual message?"

    "no, because this is what the message says."

    But Mikey, you're cutting out whole paragraphs. Mikey, how come you only quote half the message? What about the other half that distinctly and positively says there will be no unconditional surrender?"

    Are you going to make me point to where you do this sort of dodge? You know I can - this does nothing for your credibility except toss it in a hole.

    If you have documents, let us see them in their entirety, you know, scans of originals and pdfs. Don't tell us what someone else says they have seen but do not have. Please don't point us in the direction of Wilford, he is as reliable as my cat. This is all the circumlociting on which the conspiracy business thrives.

    I don't think its a coincidence that MTG and Marjorie Taylor Greene have the same initials. They must be the same person.
