Censored Nagasaki Bomb Story Found
EccentricAnomaly writes "In 1945 journalist George Weller snuck past the American occupying forces and became the first American Journalist to see the devastation left by the atomic bomb that fell on Nagasaki. His story infuriated MacArthur, who had it quashed. The Japanese paper, Mainichi, has now published Weller's account. CNN has a story discussing how it was found." From the Mainichi article: "As one whittles away at embroidery and checks the stories, the impression grows that the atomic bomb is a tremendous, but not a peculiar weapon. The Japanese have heard the legend from American radio that the ground preserves deadly irradiation. But hours of walking amid the ruins where the odor of decaying flesh is still strong produces in this writer nausea, but no sign or burns or debilitation."

If something is so important that you feel the need to post it on the internet... It probably isn't that important.

And so long as you let your plants live, you are providing oxygen for the flame that the soldier uses to burn that child.
This is the best conspiracy theory/nut ravings that I have heard in a long time. Kudos.
Or it could have been hormesis - turns out, the correct, small dose of radiation can actually be benificial
