Description
For those well-versed in the history of the so-called “Korean War”, the crimes committed by the U.S. imperialists in killing and maiming hundreds of thousands of Koreans is very clear. They split the peninsula, egged on Syngman Rhee’s anti-communist crusade to the north and supported the assault of the southern puppet forces as early as 1949 in firing more than 20,000 shots into Hwanghae province. Though less known is the germ warfare committed by the American forces in Korea, in an attempt to wipe out both the Chinese and Korean forces as well as the Korean people. In early 1952, a group of 33 Chinese scientists went to Korea to investigate the allegations made by the DPRK government and Chinese People’s Volunteers, and in doing so they examined 1,165 pieces of evidence and interrogated over 150 witnesses. Their findings resulted in a total of 804 incidents up to that point of American aircraft dropping weapons of germ warfare. The report they wrote concerns what these materials were, how they were disseminated, what insects and other creatures were released, locations of these incidents, etc. It reveals the findings on each of the following found diseases — plague, cholera, anthrax and other germs causing gastro intestinal infections as well as crop-infecting bacteria. In Chapter VII, three U.S. prisoners of war state their knowledge surrounding the germ warfare. Though this report only speculates on this aspect, it has since been confirmed that the U.S. imperialists also used knowledge obtained from Unit 731 and employed Japanese war criminal Shiro Ishii in germ warfare against Korea.
This report has long been out of circulation and was highly suppressed in the United States and other Western countries, therefore NEPH is excited to put it back into print after many years. The crimes which U.S. imperialism committed against the colonized countries, including Korea, cannot be forgotten. The Korean people fought valiantly against the enemy and forced them to sign a peace treaty in 1953, the terms of which U.S. imperialism has violated ever since by having military forces in south Korea. At a time when the U.S. imperialists are aggressing on every country, attempting to make them submit to its superpower dictate, the resistance of the people must know what they are up against — an enemy that will stop at nothing, even extermination, to wipe them out.
