Thank you for making these videos public.
When I was a kid, they were still testing weapons above ground in Nevada. We were told never to eat snow in Tennessee. I always did. I guess that explains a few things.
When were you a kid? I live in tennessee and it’s surprising to hear that radiation particles would go that far, especially over all the mountains dividing the states between Nevada and Tennessee.
@@mymyrrah those particles traveled around earth, several times over.
@@rulerofomicronpersei8 I’ve done some searching and it’s crazy how much those tests affected the entire Earth. Steel had to be taken from old battleships because it was too radioactive.
We know definitively from this eye opening documentary who the real "savages" were and still are in the Marshall Islands. John Pilger you are a truly incredible gift to humanity. I am very grateful for all that you do. Much love!
I really like learning about History of things! Thank you for sharing! 😊
It's great isn't it 👍
“Learning”? As told by “them” lol Shameful and stupidly.(not you).
💯
Another MUST of this series.
The legend is back

Na man....the atomic blast made sponge bob 😄
A member at my church was on one of these ships that watched the detonations. He ended up getting multiple cancers and passed last year because of it.
No disrespect intended but that means he died in 2021, this would have been taped in the 1940’s almost 80 years ago meaning your friend lived for many many decades and was probably past the life expectancy anyway based on his age probability. He has to die of something and dying of something 80 years after exposure (if in fact he really did die of cancer directly atributable to these operations ) is really a good trade off
Sure. Keep on lying😂
@@rapman5791 I agree! He had a long and fulfilling life. He had a lot of awesome stories from his war days and life in general. I just wish he hadn't had to suffer with so much cancer.
I understand the reason but it will never be the same again
History? Not one word about Godzilla. 😛
Seriously. Excellent video. Thanks for sharing. I'll spend some time going through this channel. Just now discovered it.
We had to learn about radiation's effects somehow but man, at what cost?
Excellent.
Very interesting to hear the perspectives in the film.
Yes thank you. Produced by University of Washington. I know it well. My doctors are there. Born & raised. Interesting
Marshall Islander people were the " lab"..
No they weren't. The only time they got badly contaminated was during the castle set of tests, bravo especially.
@@scrappydoo7887 Yes . I am in Eeoica with them .
@@MitzvosGolem1 excellent for you. What I said is still correct.
@@scrappydoo7887 Thanks... Cancer from nuke is fun .. And they admitted giving it to us ..
Asshole
@@scrappydoo7887 No offense intended, but you are being a bit naive. The AEC and the military knew full well that fallout could end up in more locations than they would publicly admit. The risk of collateral damage was calculated and considered acceptable because if and when it happened, there would be valuable data obtained. Look up information concerning the Nevada tests and the "Downwinders". The AEC used some pretty underhanded methods to gather statistics on the long term effects of fallout and the resulting increases in low level background radiation. One of the things discovered was that only a small increase, above the natural background level, is needed to have increased rates of cancer and other health problems.
Nice
US Navy: Our ships can handle a nuclear bomb just fine, just hose them off and they are good to go. Oops!
What about the reality of EMP's??
What about them? Specifically I mean?
The reality is, you can’t do jack squat about them, once those explode, it’s game over, period.
1:52... 'controled energy' by whom???

"As you can see the islanders live peaceful, almost idyllic lives. So we're going to nuke the place. America, f*ck yeah."
💯🤝🏻
Sometimes I pinch myself and ask, 'Was I really born to such a depraved country to do these things to our beautiful planet and its people, its creatures?'
Ooooooooooh
Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?....
😁

Soaking it up. ,, all. Death.
Radiation isn't anywhere near as lethal as people in the public tend to believe. You have to be really quite heavily exposed for it to kill you and later cancers are only a big issue with certain radiation types and certain isotopes
@@scrappydoo7887 I don't know what you've been reading, but there's alot you clearly don't understand.
@@scrappydoo7887 You are misguided in you opinions on atomic energy.....
@@danielcruz8347 no I'm not.
@@booklover6753 please educate me. I wasn't going to sit typing an essay for all of the UA-cam intellectuals so I gave a brief description of the facts. They are facts.
Only God can love man....
I mean look at us ....
More documentation of how awful our species is.

@@dudup7633 that’s fair.
@@borninvincible You had it right the first time, I like how people like him think it's just the United States that did bad things went in fact. It was definitely japan china russia as well.
@@DarthVader-1701 well to be fair the US is and has been far more destructive than China, Russia, DPRK, Iran, or any other country that America tries desperately to make the enemies.
@DuduP The USA was pretty mild compared to totalitarian regimes. The USA is merely authoritarian today.
History of shame.
True ! And the world need to know
@@cor2250
Yes, absolutely right.
