ARE NUCLEAR WEAPONS A MYTH? DO ATOM BOMBS SIMPLY NOT EXIST?
This short (50 second) extract is taken UNALTERED from a 1946 supposedly informational US nuke film on the results of an atom bomb test. THIS IS THE WAY THE FILM WAS SHOWN ORIGINALLY - IT IS NOT NEGATIVE, AND NOT PROCESSED IN ANY WAY. The film showed mock buildings and mannequins set up in the Nevada desert. Various themes - flash, blast, radiation, painting things white, shelters, concrete and block buildings, suction following blast - are present here. This extract looks strange and has clearly used black and white film as a negative. (Not so easy with colour film - the sequence was dropped in later editions). [My source for DVD was Historical Archive Corporation, Anderson, SC. Fair use]

  • @nameofthepen Oh wait, let me downgrade to your level of argumentation: I don't like what you have to say so you're a mouth-breathing burger chef. Instead of talking about the topic at all, I'll just call you a big ole dummy. Yeah, great strategy. *Eye-roller, right there.

  • @blingerninja - Remember:  "Do you want fries with that, sir?"

  • @blingerninja - Well, I've seen enough of you to know that you better learn to master this phrase:

    “Do you want fries with that?”

  • @blingerninja - your eloquence is impressive.

    I will accord your comment the attention it deserves. (yawn)

  • @nameofthepen No, no he doesn't, fucktard.

  • @rerevisionist - sorry; should be U235 of course.

  • @rerevisionist - I made a mistake here; true solarisation is where there's intense light. (Focal Encylopedia of Photography, 1960). The Sabattier effect is what I meant (and what is simulated by image processing software).

  • @BarneySaysHi - Barney, hi! Yes, that's the story. But global warming, swine flu, etc are stories too.

    I only started to doubt it on considering the total amount of neutrons supposedly given off by U238. Something like a handful, as it were - in fact much lass since most of any atom is empty space. Is it possible that so much radiation can be generated? Think about it.

    There's also the half-life issue: for example U238 's half life is a few billion years - it's hardly radioactive at all.

  • @rerevisionist

    Just because you never met the victims of the radiation poisoning doesn't mean they never existed.
