What an absolute crock of America First propaganda crap from @pbsnews.org - while the yanks were gathered to photograph the surrender, the Australian #journalist Wilfred Burchett was alone on a train to Hiroshima with a typewriter and a revolver in a carriage of very angry Japanese troops... 1/2

PBS News @pbsnews.org · Aug 6

First-hand accounts of the bombing of Hiroshima, and its aftermath, emerged a year later. Journalist John Hersey brought the lasting damage to light.

In 2020, PBS News' Jeffrey Brown spoke with Lesley M.M. Blume about "Fallout," her book on Hersey and his writing about the bombing of Hiroshima.

She points out a company tax cut might increase GDP but NOT gross national income. WHy? Because the biggest beneficiaries are foreign owned companies who take the money from tax cut and leave Australia actually poorer

What we're witnessing with #Melissa is ultra rare in the history of known hurricanes in the Atlantic. This level of sustained intensity and feasting on every joule of ocean heat content without any real disruption is incredible.

Not hyperbole: Jamaica is facing a generational catastrophic event.
