After nuking Japan, US gov't lied about radioactive fallout as civilians died

from Geopolitical Economy Report · host Ben Norton

After dropping two atomic bombs on Japan in August 1945, top US government officials lied to the media and Congress, claiming there was "no radioactive residue" in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, that Japanese reports of deaths due to radiation were "propaganda," that civilians did not face "undue suffering," and that it was "a very pleasant way to die."
