>>/51/ Harry S. Truman was the 33rd president of The United States and a Freemason. On August 6 and 9, 1945, the nuclear bombs Little Boy and Fat Man were dropped on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, respectively. On October 19, Truman was given the 33rd degree. https://www.trumanlibrary.gov/education/student-resources/places/grandview/grandview-masonic-lodge-618 > On October 19, 1945, Truman was given the 33rd degree of the Supreme Council of the Scottish Rite for the southern jurisdiction. He is the only President to have received this distinction, which he considered with satisfaction to be the culmination of his Masonic career. Nagasaki is known for its Catholic population. https://consortiumnews.com/2023/08/09/the-very-un-christian-nagasaki-bomb-2/ https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/255054/atomic-bomb-dropped-on-nagasaki-killed-two-thirds-of-the-city-s-catholics-78-years-ago > Since the 16th century, Nagasaki has been an important center of Catholicism in Japan, initially evangelized by Jesuit and Franciscan missionaries. It is associated with Rome. https://www.tsunagujapan.com/nagasaki-the-catholic-rome-of-japan/ > In 1570, the port of Nagasaki was officially granted permission to trade with merchants from overseas, and parts of the land were given to the Jesuits. These missionaries built a number of churches in Nagasaki, which became known as the “Rome of Japan.” It is a important location in the history of Christians being oppressed in Japan over fears of cultural and political subversion. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/26_Martyrs_of_Japan https://www.nippon.com/en/japan-topics/c12903/ > The Spanish ship San Felipe, en route from the Philippines to Mexico, suffered serious damage in a series of typhoons and drifted ashore in Tosa (modern-day Kōchi Prefecture). Under interrogation, the ship’s crew responded that Spain was a world power that dispatched missionaries to convert the local population before occupying countries. This set Hideyoshi against Christianity and led to the crucifixion and martyrdom of 26 priests and believers in Nagasaki in 1597. Those concerns were apparently not without basis, given what was happening in India. https://www.goainquisition.info/2020/05/the-portuguese-and-goan-inquisition.html > At least from 1540 onwards the Portuguese destroyed all the Hindu temples in the area, over 300 of them, and stopped all Hindu worship and even popular traditions that were not directly connected with the religion. From studies by Dr. K. V. Paliwal, President of the Hindu Writers’ Forum in New Delhi, as presented in his book, Atrocities on Hindus by Christian Missionaries in Goa, many of the churches that were built in Goa were constructed on top of the remains of Hindu temples that were destroyed by the Portuguese. The code name for the first nuclear bomb test was "Trinity". https://www.afnwc.af.mil/About-Us/History/Trinity-Nuclear-Test/ > The world's first nuclear explosion occurred on July 16, 1945, when a plutonium implosion device was tested at a site located 210 miles south of Los Alamos, New Mexico, on the plains of the Alamogordo Bombing Range, known as the Jornada del Muerto. > The code name for the test was "Trinity." The next set of tests were called Operation Crossroads. https://www.history.navy.mil/our-collections/art/exhibits/conflicts-and-operations/operation-crossroads-bikini-atoll.html > Operation Crossroads was an atmospheric nuclear weapon test series conducted in the summer of 1946 at Bikini Atoll in the Marshall Islands. > The series consisted of two detonations, a low altitude test and a shallow water test. > The devices, each with a yield of 21 kilotons, were named shots ABLE and BAKER. > A planned third test, a deep underwater detonation, was canceled after the second test.
