According to these Stanford and MIT professors[1][2], later released docs show that it was known that it was well-known that the main condition the Japanese wanted was that no harm would come to the emperor and that Truman finally signaled he would abide by this only after the two bombs were dropped.
Please change "Jewel Voice Broadcast" to Hirohito surrender broadcast, per the revent move of that page (because Jewel Voice Broadcast is, it turns out, a 2006 Wikipedia user-spawned neologism).

Quoting the article:
"while General Anami, General Umezu, and Admiral Toyoda insisted on three further terms that modified Potsdam: that Japan handle their own disarmament, that Japan deal with any Japanese war criminals, and that there be no occupation of Japan."
The source under number 102 is Richard B Frank's book, and taking a look at the pages cited I feel the need to ask, how it can be cited as a source, when, after taking look at the pages specifically citied, and a bit further, the author doesn't specifically cite where they got their own information? I understand there is a list of works cited at the end of the book, but how is one supposed to understand what specifically is cited by the author for that information out of many different sources the author used. It feels to me that Richard B. Frank's work isn't the best example of a credible source since it can't be bothered to present the reader with a source for such claims while it's something presenting itself as an analysis. ~2025-31740-40 (talk) 19:44, 6 November 2025 (UTC)Reply
I would like to know how I can basically wake up the world into this garbage. I know about operation paperclip Pope Pius the 12 giving passage to the Nazis for the race to the Moon reverse engineering with Lockheed Martin, the three spheres Terry and reverse engineering and the surrender of Japan his was and is so sad that the world was split into three Powers and basically evil. One end up winning and is still winning with Trump and the elite that run the world. The 1% while the so-called 1% is false, which is probably 1% of that. 1% is actually controlling the world with musk. They're not going to space for studying rocks. Please get back to me as I want to wait the world up to the reality of our world or the end of our world as it I think will happen sooner rather than later. ~2025-37320-64 (talk) 15:09, 1 December 2025 (UTC)Reply
