+This is Hacker Public Radio Episode 4,412 for Tuesday 1 July 2025.
+Today's show is entitled Parkinson Tribles Story, the prisoner of Unit 731.
+It is hosted by Semla's M. St. Louis and is about 20 minutes long.
+It carries an explicit flag.
+The summary is, first three minutes, trailer, followed by the full show, an original audio
+drama.
+I'm so thankful that we have Hacker Public Radio.
+Thanks all you are responsible for it.
+World War II was a war that no one expected to happen.
+But who expects a war anyway?
+Man has lived in war.
+It is envy.
+It is a desire for power.
+It is a desire for money.
+It's never a good motivation.
+One of the first conflicts that marked this moment in history was the Second Sino-Japanese
+War.
+That is the war between Japan and China.
+When the Japanese invaded this region, Manchuria, in the long war against China, we did
+not expect the brutality that we and the world witnessed.
+I did not expect it to come in my lifetime nor to be captured, to participate in it firsthand.
+But he is living through it.
+What is he referring to?
+Well, one of the most horrendous buildings occupied by the Japanese in China was called
+Yonet Hiro Ishii, named after its leader, a doctor and lieutenant general.
+Another name given to it was Unit 731.
+These units conducted, but the days are filled with activities, experiments on logs, degrading
+biological deaths on human subjects.
+We don't want to say that there was any scientific purpose.
+We have no connection with the progress of science for water purification, but this was
+a suitable disguise to ideologically hide the construction that was already physically
+well hidden and isolated.
+If there had been any survivors, what would they tell?
+We've done it.
+We created Parkinson triply a single episode, coming now, the account of the prisoner who
+survived, or have he.
+Now that you've got the trailer, I hope you have a good show.
+Thanks in advance for listening.
+The epidemic prevention and water supply department, or the prisoner of Unit 731.
+This account was found in the records of Parkinson triply, of Russian polish origin.
+He was recruited by doctor Shiro Ishii for helping in experiments at Unit 731.
+But a legitimate opportunity to stay alive, which ultimately proved false, for reasons
+he did not expect.
+What we will hear now is his writing, unadded, except that, for organization, we will name
+the three parts that he composed as follows.
+One in production, two activities, and three in the bargain.
+The author goes back, reflects, and then advances again in his organization.
+But what he brings, ultimately, is one in production.
+Thank God we know that from the beginning, man has lived in war.
+It is envy, it is a desire for power, it is a desire for money, it's never a good motivation,
+but purely selfishness.
+I arrived at the department a week ago, and although I have no desire to collaborate
+with what happens here, I know enough to realize that it is impossible to leave this place
+free.
+In the Japanese invaded this region, Manchuria, in the long war against China, we did not
+expect the brutality that we, and the world, witnessed it.
+A few years ago, after the end of the Great War, several countries signed the Geneva Protocol.
+Although it only prohibits the use of chemical weapons, biological and affixiating agents,
+etc., we believed.
+This agreement on prohibitions would mean more, that it would signify a general humanization
+of combat methods on land, sea, and air, when there might be another Great War.
+I did not expect it to come, in my lifetime, nor to be captured, to participate in it firsthand.
+Two achievements.
+As I said, it has only been a week since I started sleeping here, but the days are filled
+with activities, experiments on logs.
+After they was the worst day, because, despite being one of the most popular torture among
+scientists, and much discussed, I dreaded every second of having to see this someday.
+I saw.
+One of the operation commanders in my section, placed me alongside a lieutenant responsible
+force calling.
+First, two prisoners, the logs, were immobilized, tired tubars in the cold outside without protection.
+Others did this, I simply watched.
+They were far enough apart that they could neither talk nor see each other.
+We then accelerated the freezing process in some parts of their bodies.
+On the adult log, we poured water on his hands, using a bucket.
+After they petrified, we moved to his arms.
+The child log was Chinese, possibly a son of fighters from what I understood.
+He was intermittently submerged from the waist down.
+After what must have been an hour, we took them inside, still separated, to finalize observations
+meticulously noted by the officer's aids for the scientific purposes.
+We immersed the frozen or partially frozen limbs in tanks of water at 40 degrees Celsius
+for varying times that I didn't check to assess how the body would respond in reviving
+the parts we had numbed.
+Blood began to circulate again in the small log, the fantastic recovery of youth, but mobility,
+effects and pain seemed irreparable, no-noteless.
+The adult log was left without any success, for future notes on conditions and how long
+it would take until necrosis sat in on his limbs.
+I thought I would suffer more from this sight, the first time I had been so directly part
+of a view.
+I believe the picket logs mark experience it, who knew that screaming or begging, you'd
+be futile.
+Thus they suffered my action in a parent peace, which spared me greater trauma.
+1.
+Another part of introduction.
+I could list more of what is done here, but it's all being very well recorded by those
+who have lived and breathed this air for much longer and with far greater competence.
+Therefore, eventual reader to whom this pages may someday reach, I will move on to my final
+words about what I can understand from what I have been given to live.
+May my friends and family know that I love them and that I never wished to do them
+harm.
+And the content of all this here, as I say, is officially recorded in the official papers
+for everyone's full knowledge.
+When someday they come to be opened or discovered, thus I limit myself in my words.
+When Japan captured me like another per civilian, I imagined a quicker end for me.
+When they made me understand that they would take me to the water distribution and the
+epidemic prevention center with the famous doctor and military Shiro Ishii, I thought of myself
+as a future-forced laborer, chosen because of my career in health inspection in China.
+None of this proved true.
+I was selected by chance, an attractive victim who, upon living home without looking around,
+was an easy prey for this murderers.
+They had no idea who I was and still have no interest in knowing.
+They are satisfied to have a foreign guinea pig of non-Chinese ethnicity to add a different
+color to this prison.
+One nation, that is what they provoke, that is what they deserve.
+Knowing that from the beginning there have been wars and war among brothers gratuitous
+that, and cries of pain, is somewhat comforting.
+When we know there, we know there is an omniscient being who speaks the truth and not
+only prepares us for everything that is to come, but personally cares for each one of us.
+It is true, missionaries spoke to me about him, blessed be they, who have long been
+away from this region.
+Today is the eighth day, and they do not want to leave knowing that I might get used
+to this way of life.
+We have no connection with the progress of science for water purification, something general
+wishy, truly developed, I give him credit for that.
+These lectures at the unit refer to the method as a mission given by God, but also, and
+mainly, talk about the main reason for some tests on logs, to create biological weapons
+using plague, intracts and others, to weaken and annihilate tens of thousands of emits.
+According to him, we are being successful, both in research and in development, and effective
+deployment of weapons in combat and bombings.
+I insist on thinking it's political rhetoric and that there hasn't been enough time yet
+to create something so effective as to start near epidemics through the air.
+Still his semblance, his face, transmits pure madness, being alone within a room shall
+be worse than death.
+Those inoculated with pathogenic agents and open while still alive for scientists to
+examine the disease's action on their organs, would confirm my impression.
+3.
+The Bargain
+When I arrived at this place that resembles a prison more than anything else, I thought
+it would be my end, dying incarcerated.
+I have never been a man of much hope, which is why I was incredibly surprised by the
+absurd story told by the missionaries.
+It would have been easier to be imprisoned than to be a killer.
+I am a killer, part of all days, and I no longer want to be.
+They will not let me leave, not now.
+There's nowhere to go, we are isolated.
+However, I will live tomorrow.
+If I can disguise myself, my body, as a dead body, naked among the discarded dead logs.
+Until my friend's truck arrives, he can take me close to the disposal valley from where
+a few more kilometers walking, and this is no, we will lead me to a border, still free.
+Otherwise, if before that I am unmasked, I will meet a swift end, in which God willing,
+I will no longer hurt anyone.
+In exchange for our conversation, I taught my friend about my pages, and he became very
+interested in what they might contain.
+Yes, these pages, after all, personal sayings, are like gold, when only atrocities are
+spoken of, and when we only live true death.
+It was a bargain, he gives me freedom, and they give him these pages.
+I will tell where I hid them when you let me go near the disposal valley, then they
+are yours.
+I hope they are valuable for your mind, my victorious friends.
+May angels watch over you and protect you.
+I may remain lost, along the way, weak, and stay behind.
+If I do not find freedom, make sure all my friends know that I love them, and never
+wished them harm.
+Only good.
+The information contained in this account is true, with key references listed in the description.
+The character, Parkinson Tribly, is fictional, with no reflection on a reality, his speech
+and persona were created as an entry ticket into this true story.
+The department where we place it, Parkinson is Unit 731, which was officially designated
+as the epidemic prevention and water distribution department of the Quantong Army.
+At least 3,000 victims of experiments, died at Unit 731, without any survivors, from
+mid-1937 until the end of the World War II on September 2, 1945.
+It suggests 200,000 to 300,000 deaths, as a result of biological weapons developed
+at Unit 731 and elsewhere.
+A final paragraph by Tribly was found written differently on the margins of the field pages.
+It isn't clear where it should fit into the report, but it's presented here simply
+as it is.
+Quantong Army
+Therefore, my appeal or rather without being dramatic, my humble observation to my reader
+that I wish to share from my heart with you who wait.
+Know that what is seen can never be unseen, what passes through our senses for just one
+second and enters our mind will remain there forever.
+Please make the best use of this information.
+And here is the end, thanks for coming until here.
