NUCLEAR AGE PRIMER
During the late 1950s and early
1960s the biggest-ever open-air nuclear explosions in human history, conducted
by the U.S. and the Soviet Union, caused a type of worldwide 'nuclear autumn' as
'aged' radioactive fallout that fell from the stratosphere via large
convection weather systems contaminated arable areas - and thus the global food supply -
and led to the radiological poisoning of hundreds of millions
of persons. The chief danger in this 'aged' fallout was strontium-90, a
chemical analog to calcium, which
was scattered across the northern and southern hemispheres and made it into all living things.

An infant mortality - global fallout link?
'These observations indicate a common maternal-fetal cause such as an economic or environmental factor...[yet] there are no clear economic correlates...[and] no universal
change in nutritional management of pregnant women is apparent...Among environmental factors is the rise in exposure to strontium-90 resulting from atmospheric weapons
testing, which has been closely correlated, both geographically and temporarily, with excess fetal and infant deaths from 1950 to 1964....This and other hypotheses
should be developed and tested to determine the cause of this important loss of life.' 'After 1951 in England and Wales mortality increased, reaching a maximum deviation from the previous exponential fall in 1967...The same general pattern occurred in the United States...[which] reached a maximum deviation from the previous exponential fall in 1966...'

This strontium-90 that still resides in the tissues and bones of all things is the root of our global cancer epidemic and a persistent menace behind many genetic, immunological and neurological disorders. Reputable scientists such as the late Linus Pauling and John Gofman have argued, using science and reason, that the death toll from this 'global fallout' will, at the minimum, fall within the range of a small holocaust.
The 'nuclear project,' which began in the late 1930s, continues to this day as 'nuclear powers' endeavor to expand and improve their tools of nuclear-military domination while at the same time improving their propaganda machine, which is purposed with keeping the wool pulled over our eyes and portraying its own and only its own nuclearism as rightful.
It may seem unthinkable that such a huge crime against humanity has occurred and gone unnoticed. But a civilization is like a person. And if a person can be tempted by corruptible power or greed, commit sin, bury guilt, and hide the truth from others, then a civilization can likewise easily and shamelessly hide the truth of its sins committed in the pursuit of power or greed from others.

'The
greatest irony of our atmospheric nuclear testing program is that the only
victims of U.S. nuclear arms since World War II have been our own people.'
