This week, Granger and AntMan revisit a decades-old prediction that’s resurfacing online — an MIT study from 1972 claiming society could collapse by 2040. The two dig into what that actually means, what the researchers got right and wrong, and how changing population trends might be shaping the future faster than we realize. From the idea of socialism as a global “solution” to declining birth rates and the rise of technology, the conversation moves from history to the present day. Granger shares stories from his travels, including a talk with a Venezuelan Uber driver, as they unpack why grand theories about saving the world always seem to ignore human nature. But the heart of the episode isn’t fear — it’s faith. Granger points back to Scripture, reminding listeners that no matter what predictions come true, God’s plan doesn’t change. Whether the world lasts another fifteen years or a thousand, our mission remains the same: to live for Christ and share His gospel in the time we’re given.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Hoover History Lab held Thinking Historically: A Guide to Statecraft and Strategy, a book talk with the author, Francis J. Gavin on Thursday, October 02, 2025 from 4:00 p.m. - 6:30 p.m. PT in the Shultz Auditorium, George P. Shultz Building. It seems obvious that we should use history to improve policy. If we have a good understanding of the past, it should enable better decisions in the present, especially in the extraordinarily consequential worlds of statecraft and strategy. But how do we gain that knowledge? How should history be used? Sadly, it is rarely done well, and historians and decision-makers seldom interact. But in this remarkable book, Francis J. Gavin explains the many ways historical knowledge can help us understand and navigate the complex, often confusing world around us. Good historical work convincingly captures the challenges and complexities the decisionmaker faces. At its most useful, history is less a narrowly defined field of study than a practice, a mental awareness, a discernment, and a responsiveness to the past and how it unfolded into our present world—a discipline in the best sense of the word. Gavin demonstrates how a historical sensibility helps us to appreciate the unexpected; complicates our assumptions; makes the unfamiliar familiar and the familiar unfamiliar; and requires us, without entirely suspending moral judgment, to try to understand others on their own terms. This book is a powerful argument for thinking historically as a way for readers to apply wisdom in encountering what is foreign to them. FEATURING Francis J.

Descripción para YouTube (AMADAG TV): ¿Qué haría un coche autónomo si tuviera que decidir entre atropellar a un grupo de personas o sacrificar a sus propios pasajeros? ¿Y si en ese grupo hay un niño, un anciano… o incluso un perro? En este episodio de AMADAG TV, exploramos uno de los dilemas más polémicos y fascinantes de la inteligencia artificial: el experimento Moral Machine del MIT. Una iniciativa que planteó millones de situaciones reales a personas de todo el mundo para descubrir cómo tomamos decisiones éticas cuando se trata de la vida y la muerte. Pero esto va más allá de la tecnología. Hablamos de moral, ética, sesgos, cultura y naturaleza humana. ¿Es lo mismo lo que consideramos “bueno” en España que en Japón o en América Latina? ¿Juzgarías igual a alguien de tu grupo que a un extraño? ¿Y por qué a veces las personas más éticas cometen actos inmorales? En este vídeo descubrirás: Cómo funciona el experimento Moral Machine y por qué sus resultados sorprendieron al mundo Qué decisiones morales tomamos dependiendo de la cultura, la edad o el rol social Qué revelan los monos capuchinos sobre nuestra percepción de la justicia El papel de la obediencia, el anonimato y la presión del grupo en nuestras decisiones Por qué deberíamos desconfiar de nuestra propia moral y apostar por la ética Además, te contamos cómo los sesgos culturales, el favoritismo intragrupo y nuestras emociones pueden distorsionar nuestras decisiones más importantes. Y lo más inquietante: ¿qué pasará cuando esas decisiones las tomen las máquinas? Si crees que tienes una brújula moral clara, este vídeo puede hacerte replantear todo. Porque la moral humana, cuando se mira de cerca… tiene más agujeros que un colador. Prepárate para cuestionarlo todo.

Majdnem zsidó – Virág Gulyás története antiszemitizmustól aktivizmusig | MÓKA Podcast Amerikából   Mi történik, ha egy magyar balettintézeti növendék egyszer csak zsidó ügyekért kezd el kiállni Amerikában? Hogyan lesz valaki a saját előítéleteiből építkező, elismert közéleti szereplő? És milyen lehet zsidónak tűnni, de nem annak lenni – miközben az egész világ az identitásodról vitázik?   Ebben az őszinte és sokszor provokatív beszélgetésben Virág Gulyás volt a vendégem – aktivista, előadó, blogger, a „Majdnem Zsidó” („Almost Jewish”) brand megalkotója, aki ma New Yorkban él, de Budapesten kezdte pályafutását klasszikus balett-táncosként.  

Episode 357 of RevolutionZ presents chapter six of The Wind Cries Freedom plus some personal discussion of publishing priorities and reader/listener choices. From the oral history, Andre Goldman describes his path from academic to organizer and in doing so reveals how a campus boycott became a disciplined, scalable movement. His story has no lone hero; it's built on strategy, solidarity, and a culture that turned participation into a mark of maturity rather than a fringe stance.Along the way Andre refers to lessons he took from reading about the 1960s without romanticizing them: expand with intention, consolidate gains, and keep your organizing transparent if you want participatory democracy to be more than a slogan. Miguel draws out his take on how students in their time exposed militarized research, how campus workers reshaped demands toward shared governance, and how inter-campus coordination converted isolated protests into a coherent force. When administrators leaned on repression, “safety” threats, and prestige, the movement focused on raising the real costs of such behavior—documenting abuses, repeatedly returning stronger, and persistently building sympathy beyond the campus.The biggest obstacle, Andre reports, was not tactical but psychological. Potential allies often agreed on facts and ethics but clung to the belief that victory was impossible or irrelevant. So, to dissent was pointless. Andre uses his experiences to describe the origins of that learned powerlessness and to show how movements undid it by linking small wins to a bigger strategy,, asking questions that stir conscience, and modeling a vision others want to join. Does Andre's discussion of a future struggle as part of this oral history provide provocative, useful insights for campus organizing, anti-militarism, democratic governance, and beating cynicism in our time? Does it reveal what concrete steps, courage, and discipline can accomplish together? If so, I think Miguel and Andre would say okay, in that case refine the insights, adapt them to your many varied situations, beat Trump and militarism. If not, I think Miguel and Andre would say, okay, generate your own more useful insights. If Andre's stories and the lessons he took resonate for you, or even more important, if you think it would resonate for others, perhaps share the episode with a friend who thinks “nothing ever changes,” and perhaps even attach a comment with a lesson you feel you can take into your next action, or a proposed lesson which you instead think is confused or mistaken and needs to be improved or replaced. In other words listen, but then engage.Support the show

Immer weniger Gletscher in der Schweiz. Das heisst auch: Immer weniger Wasser im Sommer. Wie damit umgehen? Und: Reportage aus dem indischen Spiti Tal, das vom Rückgang der Gletscher betroffen ist. Zudem: Gravitationswellen, was hat man in den letzten zehn Jahren alles gelernt? 00:00 Schlagzeilen 00:42 Pestizide in Schweizer Bächen: Neue Messungen der Eawag zeigen immer wieder hohe Konzentrationen, die Wasserorganismen schädigen können. (Angelika Kren) 04:20 Meldungen: Lebensgrosse Felsgravuren in der Wüste haben den Menschen vermutlich den Weg zu Wasserstellen gewiesen / Zum Tod von Jane Goodall 07:48 Zehn Jahre Forschung an Gravitationswellen: Vor zehn Jahren machten US-Forscher eine bahnbrechende Entdeckung: Sie konnten erstmals Gravitationswellen nachweisen. Dies wurde verglichen mit dem Moment, als Galileo Galilei im 17.Jahrhundert sein Teleskop zum Nachthimmel richtete - und unter anderm das schwache Licht der Eismonde des Jupiters einfing. Gravitationswellen - sind anders geartet als Licht - und sie gehen auch vor allem von nicht-leuchtenden Objekten aus. Albert Einstein hatte diese neuartigen Wellen zwar schon lange vorhergesagt. Doch ihre extrem schwachen Signale zu messen, das gelang erst im Herbst 2015 am Ligo-Observatorium in den USA. Die damals registrierten Gravitationswellen waren eine Art fernes Echo – einer gewaltigen Kollision von zwei massereichen schwarzen Löchern weit weg von der Erde. Mit solchen Messungen werde sich das bisherige Wissen über schwarze Löcher und allgemein übers Universum um Dimensionen erweitern, hiess es damals. Und heute? Was hat man tatsächlich Neues gelernt in den ersten zehn Jahren Gravitationswellenforschung? (Anita Vonmont) 14:10 Schwerpunkt: Gletscherschwund und Wasserverfügbarkeit Himalaya: Auch im Himalaya schmelzen die Gletscher und sorgen für trockenere Sommer. Das hat Auswirkungen auf die sowieso schon eher karge Ernte in den höher gelegenen Gebieten, wie zum Beispiel dem indischen Spiti Tal. (Nicole Graaf) 22:25 Schweiz: Die Schweizer Gletscher haben gemäss der neusten Erhebung in den letzten zehn Jahren einen Viertel ihres Volumens eingebüsst. Und seit 1970 sind bereits über 1000 Gletscher verschwunden. Das bedeutet auch bei uns mittelfristig weniger Wasser vor allem im Sommer. Noch ist die Schweiz aber erst wenig darauf vorbereitet. So werden unsere Stauseen im Winter jeweils fast geleert, weil wir den Winterstrom brauchen oder verkaufen wollen – statt das Wasser für die Sommermonate zurück zu halten. Und auch der Wasserverbrauch ist im Gesamten nicht klar erfasst – es ist nicht bekannt wie viel etwa Industrie und Landwirtschaft aus den Flüssen und Seen nehmen.

Today's Headlines: President Trump has formally declared the U.S. to be in an “armed conflict” with drug cartels, invoking war powers and ordering military strikes on Caribbean boats the administration labels as “terrorist organizations.” Lawmakers in both parties are skeptical of the legal basis but—shocker—seem unlikely to act. Meanwhile, the government shutdown has left 750,000 workers unpaid or furloughed, and the White House is now threatening permanent firings with help from Project 2025 architect Russell Vought. Shutdown propaganda even seeped into federal employees' auto-replies, which were forcibly edited to blame Democrats. The Energy Department axed $7.6 billion in clean energy grants, conveniently targeting states that voted for Kamala Harris. The administration also sent nine universities—including Vanderbilt, MIT, and Brown—a “compact” demanding they overhaul admissions, freeze tuition, and abolish certain departments in exchange for federal funds. Elsewhere, the FDA approved a generic version of the abortion pill mifepristone, sparking predictable outrage despite it being a routine process. Yom Kippur was marred by a deadly terror attack at a synagogue in Manchester, where two worshippers were killed and the attacker was shot dead. And finally, Commerce Secretary Howard “Laughin'” Lutnick, a former neighbor of Jeffrey Epstein, suggested Epstein blackmailed powerful men with videos, casually detonating months of damage control efforts with a single podcast appearance.

Nem a külpolitika a 2026-os választás legfontosabb kérdése, de ettől még sok választó döntését befolyásolhatják a geopolitikai folyamatok és a politikusok ezekre adott reakció. A Vétó stúdiójában Bálint és Kamilla Pap Szilárddal, a Partizán szerkesztőjével vitatja meg a kampányt potenciálisan befolyásoló külpolitikai eseményeket, konfliktusokat. Lesz szó a kormány Ukrajnával kapcsolatos kommunikációjáról, Magyarország és az Unió kapcsolatáról, a külpolitikai irányváltás lehetőségeiről, és arról, hogy mit köszönhetünk Donald Trumpnak. De a belpolitika sem marad ki teljesen, a Vétó csapata Lázár János és Orbán Viktor “vitáját”, a felfokozott közhangulatot és a Tisza jelöltállításának elhalasztását is elemzi a stúdióban.Élő Vétó Kisvárdán: https://partizan.funcode.hu/events/132074Pap Szilárd Substack oldala: https://koztes.substack.com/ Legyőzted a populista erősembert?

Ein Burschenschafter besetzt das zweithöchste Staatsamt in Österreich: Walter Rosenkranz. Wie der politische Aufstieg des FPÖ-Politikers begann – Folge eins unseres Podcasts über die rechten Männerbünde. Deutschnationale Männerbünde, deren Mitglieder Fechtkämpfe austragen: Burschenschaften wirken aus der Zeit gefallen. In Österreich allerdings sind Verbindungsmänner tief in die Politik vorgedrungen. Dutzende Mitglieder schlagender Studentenverbindungen sitzen für die rechtsradikale FPÖ im Parlament. Und seit 2024 ist mit Walter Rosenkranz ein rechter Burschenschafter österreichischer Nationalratspräsident – das zweithöchste Staatsamt. Übernehmen rechte Verbindungsmänner die Macht in Österreich? Wie gefährlich ist ihr Einfluss auf die Politik? »Inside Austria« durchleuchtet in dieser Serie die Netzwerke der Burschenschaften: Ein Team von SPIEGEL und STANDARD zeichnet nach, wie Walter Rosenkranz vom »Fuchs« in einer Burschenschaft zum Nationalratspräsidenten aufstieg. Ein ehemaliger FPÖ-Politiker berichtet über seine Zeit in einer schlagenden Verbindung. Und eine umstrittene Burschenschaft gibt einen Einblick in ihr Verbindungshaus mitten in Wien. Zu Wort kommen außerdem Expertinnen und Autoren, die seit Jahren zum Verbindungsmilieu recherchieren. In Folge eins erzählen wir, wie Walter Rosenkranz als junger Student zur umstrittenen Burschenschaft Libertas kommt. Und wir treffen einen Aussteiger aus einer schlagenden Verbindung.

In dieser ungewöhnlichen aktuellen Ladylike Podcast-Folge geht's ordentlich rund – mit Maßkrügen, Tracht und dem ganz speziellen Zauber (und Wahnsinn) des Oktoberfests. Für Nicole ist es das allererste Mal auf der Wiesn, und Yvonne sorgt dafür, dass es ein unvergessliches wird. Vom bayerischen Kulturschock am Frühstückstisch über Fahrgeschäfte und Bierpreise bis hin zu echten Wiesn-Geheimtipps – alles ist dabei.Mit viel Humor und einem Hauch von Selbstironie berichten die beiden von schwindelerregenden Achterbahnen, kuriosen Outfits, der magischen Wirkung von Maßbier – und natürlich dem legendären „Kotzhügel“. Warum dort gleichzeitig gekotzt, gevögelt und geplaudert wird, wie es sich anfühlt, im Dirndl durch München zu laufen, und wie es endete, als drei Maß im Spiel waren: Das alles erzählen Yvonne und Nicole so unterhaltsam, als wärst du mittendrin.Ein ehrlicher, feucht-fröhlicher Blick auf Sex, Liebe, Erotik und Rausch im Festzelt – mit einer klaren Botschaft: Tracht ist kein Kostüm, der Biergarten ist der bessere Zeltplatz, und wer ohne Schlüpfer kommt, muss mit allem rechnen.Hört rein und erfahrt, warum das Oktoberfest mehr ist als Bier und Blasmusik...Habt Ihr selbst erotische Erfahrungen, eine Frage oder Story, über die Yvonne & Nicole im Ladylike-Podcast sprechen sollen?

Myriad checks 48 cancer-causing genes, with 11 linked to breast cancer risk.Your risk isn't just in your genes. Family history, lifestyle, and even tiny DNA markers all play a role. So using tests like the MyRisk® test and Tyrer-Cuzick score or IBIS model can provide more information.Knowledge is power. Knowing your risk can lead to early screening and prevention strategies.Alcohol is a major, often overlooked cancer risk factor. Even one drink a day can significantly increase breast cancer risk.Timestamps:00:00 Introduction05:23 Genetic testing criteria and insurance coverage11:40 Importance of genetic testing for breast cancer risk16:29 Breast cancer screening recommendations and guidelines20:22 Data privacy concerns and benefits of testing24:48 Future of genetic testing and personalized medicine28:57 Advice for maximizing doctor visits and insurance31:33 How to get the MyRisk® genetic testDr. Gina Campbell's Key Takeaways:

When does comedy become more than a laugh? Ben Mangrum of MIT joins RtB to discuss his new book, The Comedy of Computation: Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Obsolescence (Stanford UP, 2025), which in some ways is organized around “the intriguing idea that human knowledge work is our definitive feature and yet the machines we are ourselves made are going to replace us at it.” Comedy has provided a toolbox (Charles Tilly calls them "collective repertoires") for responding to the looming obsolescence of knowledge workers.John's interest in Menippean satire within science fiction leads him to ask about about the sliding meanings of comedy and its pachinko machine capacity; he loves the way Ben uses the word and concept of doubling,; Ben explains how the computer may either queer (in an antisocial way) or get assimilated into romantic heteronormative pairings. John asks about Donna Haraway's 1985 A Cyborg Manifesto and teh way it denaturalizes gender roles and the way new technological affordances (from the Acheulean axe that Malafouris discusses to the Apple watch) redefine human roles. Ben delves into the minstrelsy pre-history of the photo-robots going as far back as the late 19th century. They unpack the distinctively American Leo Marxian optimism of The Machine in the Garden (1964) that spreads back as far as the proto-robots like The Steam Man of the Prairies(1868) and good old Tik-Tok in the Wizard of Oz novels. John asks about double-edged nature of Ben's claim that comic “genericity provides forms for making a computationally mediated social world seem more habitable, even as it also provides Is for criticizing and objecting to that world." First you get description says Ben--and then sometimes critique. John asks about the iterability of the new: how much of what seems new actually New New (in the sense of that great 1999 Michael Lewis book, The New New Thing)? Mentioned in the episode: The Desk Set a play William Marchand and a movie starring Katherine Hepburn. How might a computer be incorporated into the sociability of a couple?

This week's guest is Dr. Angi Acocella, a Research Scientist here at MIT's Center for Transportation & Logistics and a key member of the MIT FreightLab.   Angi was last on the Freightvine in the fall of 2021 - 4 years ago - when she was a doctoral student.   A lot has changed over that time and after a post-doc in the Netherlands, Angi is back at MIT doing great research exploring shipper-broker-carrier relationships within the full truckload industry.  For this conversation, I have asked Angi to describe some of her more recent work to include the idea of Ghost Lanes, Network segmentation and transportation portfolio management, Predicting truckload market cycles, and, finally, the idea of whether shippers and carriers are Elephants or Goldfish.  That is, do they remember how they were treated in one part of the business cycle after the market turns - or not.  All of Angi's work is both theoretically rigorous and immediately applicable to actual transportation procurement and management.   Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Kevin Werbach interviews Heather Domin, Global Head of the Office of Responsible AI and Governance at HCLTech. Domin reflects on her path into AI governance, including her pioneering work at IBM to establish foundational AI ethics practices. She discusses how the field has grown from a niche concern to a recognized profession, and the importance of building cross-functional teams that bring together technologists, lawyers, and compliance experts. Domin emphasizes the advances in governance tools, bias testing, and automation that are helping developers and organizations keep pace with rapidly evolving AI systems. She describes her role at HCLTech, where client-facing projects across multiple industries and jurisdictions create unique governance challenges that require balancing company standards with client-specific risk frameworks. Domin notes that while most executives acknowledge the importance of responsible AI, few feel prepared to operationalize it. She emphasizes the growing demand for proof and accountability from regulators and courts, and finds the work exciting for its urgency and global impact. She also talks about the new chalenges of agentic AI, and the potential for "oversight agents" that use AI to govern AI.  Heather Domin is Global Head of the Office of Responsible AI and Governance at HCLTech and co-chair of the IAPP AI Governance Professional Certification. A former leader of IBM's AI ethics initiatives, she has helped shape global standards and practices in responsible AI. Named one of the Top 100 Brilliant Women in AI Ethics™ 2025, her work has been featured in Stanford executive education and outlets including CNBC, AI Today, Management Today, Computer Weekly, AI Journal, and the California Management Review.

Október elsejétől drasztikusan lecsökkentették a Rudas Gyógyfürdőben a női nap idősávját. Kinek jó ez? A nőknek biztosan nem. Vendégeink: Szalai Edit, Jagielska Marzena és Iványi Kriszta, három törzsvendég. Bővebben: 00:00:20 - Boldog Tyúkólévfordulót! 00:01:30 - Beszélgessünk arról, hogy akkor mi is az a női nap! 00:03:00 - A budapesti fürdőzés több szempontból is különleges, és ezt a kultúrát a fürdőzők teremtik meg. 00:05:40 - A szeparált fürdőzés sokkal relaxáltabb légkört teremt 00:09:40 - Előbb lehet a férfi napról hallani, mint a nőiről… 00:12:25 - A keleti kultúrákban és a nyugatiakban is megjelenik az igény a nőiesség diszkrét megélésére. 00:15:40 - Elhaltak a női közösségek. 00:18:20 - Négyszáz pucér nő elárasztotta Budapestet egy közös ügyért. 00:21:35 - Eleve sokan azért nem mernek elmenni egy női napra, mert fogalmuk sincs, milyen az, és mit kell ott csinálni. 00:24:30 - Mit csinál az egyszeri turista a törökfürdőben? 00:27:50 - Egészségügyileg sem mindegy, hogy miben vagy egy törökfürdőben. 00:29:10 - A hideg víz az értékes víz. 00:31:15 - Fürdőzni egyébként rendszeresen érdemes - ha hagyják. 00:34:15 - Úgy hűlsz le, hogy közben azt érzed, hogy felmelegszel - ez maga a fürdőkultúra! 00:38:15 - A női napoknak óriási szerepe lehetne a test elfogadásában 00:41:30 - A fürdőben a közösségi élmény és az elfogadás a meghatározó. 00:45:30 - Mintha a magyar nők mégsem lennének olyan fontosak, mint a turisták. 00:48:10 - Egy nyereséges cég hoz kívülről anyagi megfontolásúnak tűnő döntéseket. 00:51:50 - A kulturális örökség védelmére kellene fordítani részben a turisztikai bevételt. 00:52:40 - Meddig él a hely szelleme az autentikus közönsége nélkül? 00:55:50 - Magyarország belső tengeréhez az itt élők alig-alig tudnak hozzájutni. 00:57:10 - Magyarországon az egészségügy betegségekkel foglalkozik. A fürdő olyan hely lenne, ahol az egészségvédelemnek jut szerep. 00:58:25 - 2006-ban még volt érdeme petíciót indítani. Ötleteket várunk! 01:02:45 - És... alig várjuk a 11 fokos vizet (de még aludjunk azért erre egyet). Hasznos infók: Facebook-csoport, könnyen dekódolható névvel: Rudas női nap.

In our last episode of the season (season 2 is in the works), we look at MIT's Media Lab, which long dazzled the public with its bold ideas and groundbreaking projects. But behind that reputation was a secret: much of the lab's funding traced back to Jeffrey Epstein. Read Noam Cohen's reporting: https://www.wired.com/story/for-jeffrey-epstein-mit-was-just-a-safety-school/For a transcript of this episode: https://bit.ly/campusfiles-transcripts To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

The Epstein scandal exposed how deep corruption runs, but higher academia mostly slipped away untouched. Despite Epstein having offices at Harvard, donations to MIT, and close ties with professors, universities escaped the same scrutiny that crushed others. They played dumb, claimed ignorance, and hid behind words like “research” while pocketing predator money. Meanwhile, they still preach ethics and morality to the rest of us, acting like they're society's conscience while proving they'll side with cash over principle every single time.For working-class folks, the double standard is glaring. Ordinary people get hammered for the smallest mistakes, while billion-dollar institutions with political connections remain untouchable. Justice isn't blind; it looks straight at the bank account before moving. The universities knew what they were doing, yet faced no real punishment. Until someone has the guts to drag academia into the same light as everyone else, it's on us to keep the pressure on, to not forget, and to make sure their role in this rotten system never gets buried.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Danielle Rapson, HBS alum and Co-founder and COO of Mantel, joins Climate Rising to explain how her company is developing a novel molten-based carbon capture system for hard-to-abate industrial sectors. Danielle shares the story of how Mantel spun out of an MIT lab, what sets its technology apart from existing amine-based carbon capture, and why the economics of steam reuse are critical to its efficiency. She also discusses how Mantel's early projects in pulp and paper and oil refining are shaping its path to commercialization, and what policy and regulatory incentives—like 45Q and Canada's carbon tax—mean for scaling carbon removal solutions. This episode is part of our alumni series, which also features Eric Adamson, Robotics Executive at Oishii and co-founder of Tortuga AgTech, and Hui Wen Chan of Crusoe, which uses stranded energy to power AI data centers.

Hey guys, what you are about to listen to is an extremely graphic episode that will contain many scenes of gore, rape, human experimentation, honestly it will run the gambit. If you got a weak stomach, this episode might not be for you. You have been warned.  I just want to take a chance to say a big thanks to all of you guys who decided to join the patreon, you guys are awesome! Please leave a comment on this episode to let me know what more you want to hear about in the future. With all of that said and done lets jump right into it.   Where to begin with this one? Let start off with one of the major figures of Unit 731, Shiro Ishii. Born June 25th, 1892 in the village of Chiyoda Mura in Kamo District of Chiba Prefecture, Ishii was the product of his era. He came from a landowning class, had a very privileged childhood. His primary and secondary schoolmates described him to be brash, abrasive and arrogant. He was a teacher's pet, extremely intelligent, known to have excellent memory. He grew up during Japans ultra militarism/nationalism age, thus like any of his schoolmates was drawn towards the military. Less than a month after graduating from the Medical department of Kyoto Imperial University at the age of 28, he began military training as a probation officer in the 3rd regiment of the Imperial Guards division. Within 6 months he became a surgeon 1st Lt. During his postgraduate studies at Kyoto Imperial university he networked successfully to climb the career ladder. As a researcher he was sent out to help cure an epidemic that broke out in Japan. It was then he invented a water filter that could be carried alongside the troops.   He eventually came across a report of the Geneva Protocol and conference reports of Harada Toyoji as well as other military doctors. He became impressed with the potential of chemical and biological warfare. During WW1 chemical warfare had been highly explored, leading 44 nations to pass the Geneva Protocol or more specifically  “Protocol for the Prohibition of the Use in War of Asphyxiating, Poisonous or other Gases, and of Bacteriological Methods of Warfare”. Representatives from Japan were present at this conference and were involving in the drafting and signing of the Geneva Protocol, but it was not ratified in Japan at the time. Ishii's university mentor, Kiyano Kenji suggested he travel western countries and he did so for 2 years. Many nations were secretive about their research, but some places such as MIT were quite open. After his visit Ishii came to believe Japan was far behind everyone else in biological warfare research. After returning to Japan Ishii became an instructor at the Imperial Japanese Army Medical School. Japan of course lacked significant natural resources, thus it was a perfect nation to pursue biological weapons research. Ishii began lobbying the IJA, proposing to establish a military agency to develop biological weapons. One of his most compelling arguments was “that biological warfare must possess distinct possibilities, otherwise, it would not have been outlawed by the League of Nations.”   Ishii networked his way into good favor with the Minister of Health, Koizumi Chikahiko who lended his support in August of 1932 to allow Ishii to head an Epidemic Prevention Laboratory. Ishii secured a 1795 square meter complex at the Army Medical College. Yet this did not satisfy Ishii, it simply was not the type of work he wanted to do. The location of Tokyo allowed too many eyes on his work, he could not perform human experimentation. For what he wanted to do, he had to leave Japan, and in the 1930's Japan had a few colonies or sphere's of influence, the most appetizing one being Manchuria. In 1932 alongside his childhood friend Masuda Tomosada, Ishii took a tour of Harbin and he fell in love with the location.   During the 1930's Harbin was quite a cosmopolitan city, it was a major trading port and diverse in ethnicities and religions. Here there were Mongols, Russians, Chinese, Japanese, various other western groups in lesser numbers. Just about every religion was represented, it was a researcher's paradise for subjects. Ishii sought human experimentation and needed to find somewhere covert with maximum secrecy. He chose a place in the Nan Gang District of Beiyinhe village, roughly 70 kms southeast of Harbin. It was here and then he began human experimentation. One day in 1932, Ishii and the IJA entered the village and evacuated an entire block where Xuan Hua and Wu Miao intersected. They began occupying a multi-use structure that had been supporting 100 Chinese vendors who sold clothes and food to the locals. They then began drafting Chinese laborers to construct the Zhong Ma complex to house the “Togo Unit” named after the legendary admiral, Togo Heihachiro. The Chinese laborers were underpaid and under constant watch from Japanese guards, limiting their movement and preventing them from understanding what they were building, or what was occurring within the complex. The complex was built in under a year, it held 100 rooms, 3 meter high brick walls and had an electric fence surrounding the perimeter. One thousand captives at any given time could be imprisoned within the complex. To ensure absolute secrecy, security guards patrolled the complex 24/7. Saburo Endo, director of Operations for the Kwantung Army once inspected the Togo Unit and described it in his book “The Fifteen Years' Sino-Japanese War and Me”, as such:   [It was] converted from a rather large soy sauce workshop, surrounded by high rammed earth wall. All the attending military doctors had pseudonyms, and they were strictly regulated and were not allowed to communicate with the outsiders. The name of the unit was “Tōgō Unit.” One by one, the subjects of the experiments were imprisoned in a sturdy iron lattice and inoculated with various pathogenic bacteria to observe changes in their conditions. They used prisoners on death row in the prisons of Harbin for these experiments. It was said that it was for national defense purposes, but the experiments were performed with appalling brutality.The dead were burned in high-voltage electric furnaces, leaving no trace.    A local from the region added this about the complex “We heard rumors of people having blood drawn in there but we never went near the place. We were too afraid. When the construction started, there were about forty houses in our village, and a lot of people were driven out. About one person from each home was taken to work on the construction. People were gathered from villages from all around here, maybe about a thousand people in all. The only things we worked on were the surrounding wall and the earthen walls. The Chinese that worked on the buildings were brought in from somewhere, but we didn't know where. After everything was finished, those people were killed.”    Despite all the secrecy, it was soon discovered prisoners were being taken, primarily from the CCP and bandits who were being subjected to tests. One such test was to gradually drain a victim of blood to see at what point they would die. The unit drew 500 cc of blood from each prisoner every 3-5 days. As their bodies drew weaker, they were dissected for further research, the average prisoner lasted a maximum of a month. Due to the climate of Manchuria, it was soon established that finding methods to treat frostbite would benefit the Kwantung army. Ishii's team gathered human subjects and began freezing and unfreezing them. Sometimes these experiments included observing test subjects whose limbs had been frozen and severed. The Togo team reported to General Okamura Yasuji, the deputy commander in chief of the Kwantung army from 1933-1934 that the best way to treat frostbite was to soak a limb in 37 degree water. According to the testimony of a witness named Furuichi at trial done in Khabarovsk , “Experiments in freezing human beings were performed every year in the detachment, in the coldest months of the year—November, December, January and February. The experimental technique was as follows: the test subjects were taken out into the frost at about 11 o'clock at night, compelled to dip their hands into a barrel of cold water and forced to stand with wet hands in the frost for a long time. Alternatively, some were taken out dressed, but with bare feet and compelled to stand at night in the frost during the coldest period of the year. When frostbite had developed, the subjects were taken to a room and forced to put their feet in water of 5 degrees Celsius, after which the temperature was gradually increased.”   Sergeant Major Kurakazu who was with Unit 731 later on in 1940 and taken prisoner by the Soviets in 1945 stated during the Khabarovsk trial , “I saw experiments performed on living people for the first time in December 1940. I was shown these experiments by researcher Yoshimura, a member of the 1st Division. These experiments were performed in the prison laboratory. When I walked into the prison laboratory, ve Chinese experimentees were sitting there; two of these Chinese had no fingers at all, their hands were black; in those of three others the bones were visible. They had fingers, but they were only bones. Yoshimura told me that this was the result of freezing experiments.”   According to Major Karasawa during the same trial Ishii became curious about using plague as a weapon of war and captured plague infected mice to test on subjects in the Zhong Ma Complex “Ishii told me that he had experimented with cholera and plague on the mounted bandits of Manchuria during 1933-1934 and discovered that the plague was effective.”   According to Lt General Endo Saburo's diary entry on November 16th of 1933, at the Zhong Ma complex “The second squad which was responsible for poison gas, liquid poison; and the First Squad which was responsible for electrical experiments. Two bandits were used by each squad for the experiments.  Phosgene gas—5-minute injection of gas into a brick-lined room; the subject was still alive one day aer inhalation of gas; critically ill with pneumonia.  Potassium cyanide—the subject was injected with 15 mg.; subject lost consciousness approximately 20 minutes later.  20,000 volts—several jolts were not enough to kill the subject; injection of poison required to kill the subject.  5000 volts—several jolts were not enough; aer several minutes of continuous current, subject was burned to death.”    The Togo Unit established a strict security system to keep its research highly confidential. Yet in 1934, 16 Chinese prisoners escaped, compromising the Zhong Ma location. One of the guards had gotten drunk and a prisoner named Li smashed a bottle over his head and stole his keys. He freed 15 other prisoners and of them 4 died of cold, hunger and other ailments incurred by the Togo unit. 12 managed to flee to the 3rd route army of the Northeast Anti Japanese united Army. Upon hearing the horrifying report, the 3rd route army attacked the Togo unit at Beiyinhe and within a year, the Zhong Ma complex was exploded.    After the destruction of the Zhong Ma complex, Ishii needed a better structure. The Togo unit had impressed their superior and received a large budget. Then on May 30th of 1936 Emperor Hirohito authorized the creation of Unit 731. Thus Ishii and his colleagues were no longer part of the Epidemic Prevention Institute of the Army Medical School, now they were officially under the Kwantung Army as the Central Epidemic Prevention and Water Purification Department. Their new HQ was located in Pingfan, closer to Harbin. Their initial budget was 3 million yen for the personnel, 200-300 thousand yen per autonomous unit and 6 million yen for experimentation and research. Thus their new annual budget was over 10 million yen.    Pingfan was evacuated by the Kwantung army. Hundreds of families were forced to move out and sell their land at cheap prices. To increase security this time, people required a special pass to enter Pingfan. Then the airspace over the area became off-limits, excluding IJA aircraft, all violators would be shot down. The new Pingfan complex was within a walled city with more than 70 buildings over a 6 km tract of land. The complex's huge size drew some international attention, and when asked what the structure was, the scientists replied it was a lumber mill. Rather grotesquely, prisoners would be referred to as “maruta” or “logs” to keep up the charade. Suzuki, a Japanese construction company back then, worked day and night to construct the complex.    Now many of you probably know a bit about Unit 731, but did you know it's one of countless units?  The Army's Noborito Laboratory was established (1937) The Central Epidemic Prevention and Water Purification Department of the North China Army/ Unit 1855 was established (1938)  The Central Epidemic Prevention and Water Purification Department of Central China/ Unit 1644 (1939)  Thee Guangzhou Epidemic Prevention and Water Purification Department of South China Army/ Unit 8604 (1942)  The Central Epidemic Prevention and Water Purification Department of the Southern Expeditionary Army/ Unit 9620 (1942).    There were countless others, detachments included Unit 1855 in Beijing, Unit Ei 1644 in Nanjing, Unit 8604 in Guangzhou, and later Unit 9420 in Singapore. All of these units comprised Ishii's network, which, at its height in 1939, oversaw over 10,000 personnel.   Victims were normally brought to Pingfan during the dead of night within crammed freight cars with number logs on top. They were brought into the building via a secret tunnel. According to a witness named Fang Shen Yu, technicians in white lab coats handled the victims who were tied in bags. The victims included anyone charge with a crime, could be anti-japanese activity, opium smoking, espionage, being a communist, homelessness, being mentally handicap, etc. Victims included chinese, Mongolians, Koreans, White Russians, Harbin's jewish population and any Europeans accused of espionage. During the Khabarovsk trial, Major Iijima Yoshia admitted to personally subjecting 40 Soviet citizens to human experimentation. Harbin's diversity provided great research data. Each prisoner was assigned a number starting with 101 and ending at 1500. Onec 1500 was reached, they began again at 101, making it nearly impossible to estimate the total number of victims. Since the complex had been labeled a lumber mill to the locals, most did not worry about it or were too afraid to do so. The prison's warden was Ishii's brother Mitsuo who made sure to keep it all a secret.    Ethics did not exist within Ishii's network of horrors. Everything was done efficiently in the name of science. Pingfang was equipped for disposing the evidence of their work in 3 large incinerators. As a former member who worked with the incinerators recalled “the bodies always burned up fast because all the organ were gone; the bodies were empty”. Human experimentation allowed the researchers their first chance to actually examine the organs of a living person at will to see the progress of a disease. Yeah you heard me right, living person, a lot of the vivisections were done on live people. As one former researcher explained "the results of the effects of infection cannot be obtained accurately once the person dies because putrefactive bacteria set in. Putrefactive bacteria are stronger than plague germs. So, for obtaining accurate results, it is important whether the subject is alive or not." Another former researcher said this “"As soon as the symptoms were observed, the prisoner was taken from his cell and into the dissection room. He was stripped and placed on the table, screaming, trying to fight back. He was strapped down, still screaming frightfully. One of the doctors stuffed a towel into his mouth, then with one quick slice of the scalpel he was opened up." Witnesses of some of these vivisections reported that victims usually let out a horrible scream when the initial cuts were made, but that the voice stops soon after. The researchers often removed the organ of interest, leaving others in the body and the victims usually died of blood loss or because of the removed organ. There are accounts of experiments benign carried out on mothers and children, because yes children were in fact born in the facilities. Many human specimens were placed in jars to be viewed by Tokyo's army medical college. Sometimes these jars were filled with limbs or organs but some giant ones had entire bodies.   Vivisection was conducted on human beings to observe how disease affected each organ once a human dies. According to testimony given by a technician named Ogawa Fukumatsu “I participated in vivisections. I did them every day. I cannot remember the amount of people dissected. At first, I refused to do it. But then, they would not allow me to eat because it was an order; gradually I changed.” Another technician Masakuni Kuri testified  “I did vivisection at the time. Experiments were conducted on a Chinese woman with syphilis. Because she was alive, the blood poured out like water from a tap.”   A report done by Shozo Kondo studied the effects of bubonic plague on humans. The number of subjects was 57 with age ranging from toddlers to 80 years old with mixed gender. The study used fleas carrying plague that were dispersed upon the local population in June of 1940 at Changchun. 7 plague victims were Japanese residents. The report stated the plague spread because of lack of immunity by the townspeople. Subjects' survival time ranged from 2-5 days, with only 3 surviving 12, 18 and 21 days. The subjects were infected with Glandular, Cutaneous or Septicemic plague, but most had the Glandular variety.     In addition to the central units of Pingfang were others set up in Beijing, Nanjing, Guangzhou and Singapore. The total number of personnel was 20,000. These satellite facilities all had their own unique horror stories. One was located in Anda, 100km from Pingfang where outdoor tests for plague, cholera and other pathogens were down. They would expose human subjects to biological bombs, typically by putting 10-40 people in the path of a biological bomb. A lot of the research was done to see the effective radius of the bombs, so victims were placed at different distances. At Xinjing was Unit 100 and its research was done against domesticated animals, horses particularly. Unit 100 was a bacteria factory producing glanders, anthrax and other pathogens. They often ran tests by mixing poisons with food and studied its effects on animals, but they also researched chemical warfare against crops. At Guangzhou was unit 8604 with its HQ at Zhongshan medical university. It is believed starvation tests ran there, such as the water test I mentioned. They also performed typhoid tests and bred rats to spread plague. Witness testimony from a Chinese volunteer states they often dissolved the bodies of victims in acid. In Beijing was Unit 1855 which was a combination of a prison and experiment center. They ran plague, cholera and typhus tests. Prisoners were forced to ingest mixtures of germs and some were vaccinated against the ailments. In Singapore after its capture in February of 1942 there was a secret laboratory. One Mr. Othman Wok gave testimony in the 1990s that when he was 17 years old he was employed to work at this secret lab. He states 7 Chinese, Indian and Malay boys worked in the lab, picking fleas from rats and placing them in containers. Some 40 rat catchers, would haul rats to the lab for the boys to do their work. The containers with fleas went to Japanese researchers and Othman says he saw rats being injected with plague pathogens. The fleas were transferred to kerosene cans which contained dried horse blood and an unidentified chemical left to breed for weeks. Once they had plague infected fleas in large quantity Othman said "A driver who drove the trucks which transported the fleas to the railway station said that these bottles of fleas were sent off to Thailand." If this is true, it gives evidence to claims Unit 731 had a branch in Thailand as well. Othman stated he never understood or knew what was really going on at the lab, but when he read in 1944 about biological attacks on Chongqing using fleas, he decided to leave the lab. Othman states the unit was called Unit 9240.  As you can imagine rats and insects played a large role in all of this. They harvested Manchuria rat population and enlisted schoolchildren to raise them. In the 1990s the Asahi Broadcasting company made a documentary titled “the mystery of the rats that went to the continent”. It involved a small group of high school children in Saitama prefecture asked local farmers if they knew anything about rat farming during the war years. Many stated everybody back then was raising rats, it was a major source of income. One family said they had rat cages piled up in a shed, each cage built to carry 6 rat, but they had no idea what the rats were being used for. Now hear this, after the war, the US military kept these same families in business. The US army unit 406 which was established in Tokyo to research viruses wink wink, would often drive out to these farms in their american jeeps collecting rats.  Getting fleas was a much tricker task. One method was taking older Chinese prisoners and quarantining them with clothes carrying flea or flea eggs and allowing them to live in isolated rooms to cultivate more fleas. These poor guys had to live in filth and not shave for weeks to produce around 100 fleas a day. Now Unit 731 dealt with numerous diseases such as Cholera.  Some experiments used dogs to spread cholera to villages. They would steal dogs from villages, feed them pork laced with cholera germs and return them to the villages. When the disease finished incubating the dogs would vomit and other dogs would come and eat the vomit spread it more and more. The dogs were also stricken with diarrhea and the feces spread it to other dogs as well. 20% of the people in villages hit by this died of the disease. Former army captain Kojima Takeo was a unit member involved in a Cholera campaign and added this testimony "We were told that we were going out on a cholera campaign, and we were all given inoculations against cholera ten days before starting out. Our objective was to infect all the people in the area. The disease had already developed before we got there, and as we moved into the village everyone scattered. The only ones left were those who were too sick to move. The number of people coming down with the disease kept increasing. Cholera produces a face like a skeleton, vomiting, and diarrhea. And the vomiting and defecating of the people lying sick brought flies swarming around. One after the other, people died." I've mentioned it a lot, Plague was a staple of Unit 731. The IJA wanted a disease that was fast and fatal, Cholera for instance took about 20 days, plague on the other hand starts killing in 3 days. Plague also has a very long history of use going back to the medieval times. It was one of the very first diseases Ishii focused on. In october of 1940 a plague attack was conducted against the Kaimingjie area in the port city of Ningbo. This was a joint operation with Unit 731 and the Nanjing based Unit 1644. During this operation plague germs were mixed with wheat, corn, cloth scraps and cotton and dropped from the air. More than 100 people died within a few days of the attack and the affected area was sealed off from the public until the 1960s.  Another horrifying test was the frostbite experiments. Army Engineer Hisato Yoshimura conducted these types of experiments by taking prisoners outside, dipping various appendages into water of varying temperatures and allowing the limbs to freeze. Once frozen, Yoshimura would strike their affected limbs with a short stick and in his words “they would emit a sound resembling that which a board gives when it is struck”. Ice was then chipping away with the affected area being subjected to various treatments, such as being doused in water, exposed to heat and so on. I have to mentioned here, that to my shock there is film of these specific frostbite experiments and one of our animators at Kings and Generals found it, I have seen a lot of things in my day, but seeing this was absolute nightmare fuel. If you have seen the movie or series Snowpiercer, they pretty much nail what it looked like.  Members of Unit 731 referred to Yoshimura as a “scientific devil” and a “cold blooded animal” because he would conduct his work with strictness. Naoji Uezono another member of Unit 731, described in a 1980s interview a disgusting scene where Yoshimura had "two naked men put in an area 40–50 degrees below zero and researchers filmed the whole process until [the subjects] died. [The subjects] suffered such agony they were digging their nails into each other's flesh". Yoshimuras lack of any remorse was evident in an article he wrote for the Journal of Japanese Physiology in 1950 where he admitted to using 20 children and 3 day old infant in experiments which exposed them to zero degree celsius ice and salt water. The article drew criticism and no shit, but Yoshimura denied any guilt when contacted by a reporter from the Mainichi Shimbun. Yoshimura developed a “resistance index of frostbite” based on the mean temperature of 5 - 30 minutes after immersion in freezing water, the temperature of the first rise after immersion and the time until the temperature first rises after immersion. In a number of separate experiments he determined how these parameters depended on the time of day a victim's body part was immersed in freezing water, the surrounding temperature and humidity during immersion, how the victim had been treated before the immersion ("after keeping awake for a night", "after hunger for 24 hours", "after hunger for 48 hours", "immediately after heavy meal", "immediately after hot meal", "immediately after muscular exercise", "immediately after cold bath", "immediately after hot bath"), what type of food the victim had been fed over the five days preceding the immersions with regard to dietary nutrient intake ("high protein (of animal nature)", "high protein (of vegetable nature)", "low protein intake", and "standard diet"), and salt intake. Members of Unit 731 also worked with Syphilis, where they orchestrated forced sex acts between infected and noninfected prisoners to transmit the disease. One testimony given by a prisoner guard was as follows “Infection of venereal disease by injection was abandoned, and the researchers started forcing the prisoners into sexual acts with each other. Four or five unit members, dressed in white laboratory clothing completely covering the body with only eyes and mouth visible, rest covered, handled the tests. A male and female, one infected with syphilis, would be brought together in a cell and forced into sex with each other. It was made clear that anyone resisting would be shot.” After victims were infected, they would be vivisected at differing stages of infection so that the internal and external organs could be observed as the disease progressed. Testimony from multiple guards blamed the female victims as being hosts of the diseases, even as they were forcibly infected. Genitals of female prisoners were infected with syphilis and the guards would call them “jam filled buns”. Even some children were born or grew up in the walls of Unit 731, infected with syphilis. One researcher recalled “one was a Chinese women holding an infant, one was a white russian woman with a daughter of 4 or 5 years of age, and the last was a white russian women with a boy of about 6 or 7”. The children of these women were tested in ways similar to the adults.  There was also of course rape and forced pregnancies as you could guess. Female prisoners were forced to become pregnant for use in experiments. The hypothetical possibility of transmission from mother to child of diseases, particularly syphilis was the rationale for the experiments. Fetal survival and damage to the womans reproductive organs were objects of interest. A large number of babies were born in captivity and there had been no accounts of any survivor of Unit 731, children included. It is suspected that the children of the female prisoners were killed after birth or aborted. One guard gave a testimony “One of the former researchers I located told me that one day he had a human experiment scheduled, but there was still time to kill. So he and another unit member took the keys to the cells and opened one that housed a Chinese woman. One of the unit members raped her; the other member took the keys and opened another cell. There was a Chinese woman in there who had been used in a frostbite experiment. She had several fingers missing and her bones were black, with gangrene set in. He was about to rape her anyway, then he saw that her sex organ was festering, with pus oozing to the surface. He gave up the idea, left and locked the door, then later went on to his experimental work.” In a testimony given on December 28 by witness Furuichi during the Khabarovsk Trial, he described how “a Russian woman was infected with syphilis to allow the scientists to and out how to prevent the spread of the disease.  Many babies were born to women who had been captured and become experimental subjects. Some women were kidnapped while pregnant; others became pregnant aer forced sex acts in the prisons, enabling researchers to study the transmission of venereal disease   Initially Unit 731 and Unit 100 were going to support Japan's Kantokuen plan. The Kantokuen plan an operation plan to be carried out by the Kwantung army to invade the USSR far east, capitalizing on the success of operation barbarossa. Unit 731 and 100 were to prepare bacteriological weapons to help the invasion. The plan was created by the IJA general staff and approved by Emperor Hirohito. It would have involved three-steps to isolate and destroy the Soviet Army and occupy the eastern soviet cities over the course of 6 months. It would have involved heavy use of chemical and biological weapons. The Japanese planned to spread disease using three methods; direct spraying from aircraft, bacteria bombs and saboteurs on the ground. This would have included plague, cholera, typhus and other diseases against troops, civilian populations, livestocks, crops and water supplies. The main targets were Blagoveshchensk, Khabarovsk, Voroshilov, and Chita. If successful the Soviet Far East would be incorporated into Japan's greater east asia co-prosperity sphere. Within Kantokuen documents, Emperor Hirohtio instructed Ishii to increase production rate at the units, for those not convinced Hirohito was deeply involved in some of the worst actions of the war. Yet in the end both Emperor Hirohito and Hideki Tojo pulled their support for the invasion of the USSR and opted for the Nanshin-ron strategy instead.    On August 9th of 1945 the Soviet Union declared war on Japan and invaded Manchuria. In response, the Japanese government ordered all research facilities in Manchuria to be destroyed and to erase all incriminating materials. A skeleton crew began the liquidation of unit 731 on August 9th or 10th, while the rest of the unit evacuated. All test subjects were killed and cremated so no remains would be found. The design of the facilities however, made them hard to destroy via bombing, several parts of the buildings left standing when the Soviets arrived. While most of the unit's staff managed to escape, including Ishii, some were captured by the soviets. Some of these prisoners told the Soviets about the atrocities committed at Pingfang and Changchun. At first the claims seemed so outrageous, the Soviets sent their own Biological Weapons specialists to examine the ruins of Ping Fang. After a thorough investigation, the Soviet experts confirmed the experiments had been done there. The real soviet investigation into the secrets of Unit 731 and 100 began in early 1946, thus information was not readily available during the Tokyo Tribunal. Both the Americans and SOviets had collected evidence during the war that indicated the Japanese were in possession of bacteriological weapons though. Amongst the 600,000 Japanese prisoners of war in the USSR, Major General Kiyoshi Kawashima and Major Tomoio Karasawa would become essential to uncovering the Japanese bacteriological warfare secrets and opening the path to hold the Khabarovsk trial. The Soviets and Americans spent quite a few years performing investigations, many of which led to no arrests. The major reason for this was similar to Operation Paperclip. For those unaware, paperclip was a American secret intelligence program where 1600 German scientists were taken after the war and employed, many of whom were nazi party officials. The most famous of course was Wernher von Braun. When the Americans looked into the Japanese bacteriological work, they were surprised to find the Japanese were ahead of them in some specific areas, notably ones involving human experimentation. General Charles Willoughby of G-2 american intelligence called to attention that all the data extracted from live human testing was out of the reach of the USA. By the end of 1947, with the CCP looking like they might defeat Chiang Kai-Shek and the Soviet Union proving to be their new enemy, the US sought to form an alliance with Japan, and this included their Bacteriological specialists. From October to December, Drs Edwin Hill and Joseph Victor from Camp Detrick were sent to Tokyo to gather information from Ishii and his colleagues. Their final conclusion laid out the importance of continuing to learn from the Japanese teams, and grant them immunity. The British were also receiving some reports from the Americans about the Japanese Bacteriological research and human experimentation. The British agreed with the Americans that the information was invaluable due to the live human beings used in the tests. The UK and US formed some arrangements to retain the information and keep it secret. By late 1948 the Tokyo War Crimes Trial was coming to an end as the cold war tension was heating up in Korea, pushing the US more and more to want to retain the information and keep it all under wraps.  With formal acceptance, final steps were undertaken, much of which was overseen by General Douglas MacArthur. On May 6, 1947, Douglas MacArthur wrote to Washington that "additional data, possibly some statements from Ishii probably can be obtained by informing Japanese involved that information will be retained in intelligence channels and will not be employed as 'War Crimes' evidence.” Ishii and his colleagues received full immunity from the Tokyo War Crimes Trial. Ishii was hired by the US government to lecture American officers at Fort Detrick on bioweapons and the findings made by Unit 731. During the Korean War Ishii reportedly traveled to Korea to take part in alleged American biological warfare activities. On February 22nd of 1952, Ishiiwas explicitly named in a statement made by the North Korean FOreign Minister, claiming he along with other "Japanese bacteriological war criminals had been involved in systematically spreading large quantities of bacteria-carrying insects by aircraft in order to disseminate contagious diseases over our frontline positions and our rear". Ishii would eventually return to Japan, where he opened a clinic, performing examinations and treatments for free. He would die from laryngeal cancer in 1959 and according to his daughter became a Roman Catholic shortly before his death.  According to an investigation by The Guardian, after the war, former members of Unit 731 conducted human experiments on Japanese prisoners, babies, and mental patients under the guise of vaccine development, with covert funding from the U.S. government. Masami Kitaoka, a graduate of Unit 1644, continued performing experiments on unwilling Japanese subjects from 1947 to 1956 while working at Japan's National Institute of Health Sciences. He infected prisoners with rickettsia and mentally ill patients with typhus. Shiro Ishii, the chief of the unit, was granted immunity from prosecution for war crimes by American occupation authorities in exchange for providing them with human experimentation research materials. From 1948 to 1958, less than five percent of these documents were transferred to microfilm and stored in the U.S. National Archives before being shipped back to Japan.
