his first broadcast to his people. It was an "acceptance of the Potsdam Declaration"--not a surrender per se. The copy of the broadcast, (before delivery) was hidden somewhere in the palace to keep it from the Japanese War Lords, who wanted the war to continue and planned to destroy it.
Does anyone know where it was hidden?

AFAIK the recording was rushed to the NHK as soon as it was made. That's why the attempted coup failed. When the die-hards forced their way into the palace one of the chamberlains advised them that they were in the wrong place if they wanted to destroy the recording. The chamberlain persuaded them not to kidnap the emperor. By that time Tokyo police had arrived in force and engaged the rebels and most have them were killed or killed themselves. So it was Tokyo PD and the persuasive chamberlain who made sure the broadcast took place as scheduled.

No it shows weakness in humans! Is someone says God told them to kill their children that is a mental problem God does not ask us ever to kill children, in old testament it was asked but God gave him a way out this was a test of faith! God gave Jesus so that we don't have these issues he was the sacrifice for man there is nothing left to be done it has already been accomplished on the cross! There was a man here were I lived was Atheist he killed his son because he could not be with him anymore! Mental illness knows no bounds Christians Atheist and Agnostic are all subject to it! Question does that show weakness in our beliefs? No it shows that only by grace and mercy are we forgiven! You can tell which voices in your head are from God by do you have peace! does the voice tell you to do something that is against what God has given us?
