This is off the normal topics line but one that might be of interest.
August 8th is the 60th anniversary of the dropping of the second atomic bomb on Japan and as a result, effectively ending the Second World War.
Now if any of you have children, no matter how old they are (
mine is 23 ) ask them about Nagasaki and Hiroshima and see how many of them don’t have the slightest clue as to what you are talking about.
Mine didn’t know about it and she took both History and Geo. in High School.
What are they teaching our kids?

Agree totally, how many nowadays also know about the New World Order, One World Govt, One World Religion, corruption of the food chain & pharmaceuticals
and Chemtrails & HAARP?? Also the devastating effect of the depleted uranium used in US ammunition & the illnesses of their tr0ops & birth deformities in the ME from its use & the givt coverup whilst Johhny pumps the hands & hugs the leaders of other nations which hate us!
Most comfortable in their debt ridden situation or too busy beavering away to keep up with it whilst the noose tightens.

Closer to
home - how many people know we were the "proud" hosts of a series of atomic bomb explosions in
the desert at
Maralinga about 50 years ago? We were told to be proud that out country could contribute to the fight against communism, but somehow they never told us about all the servicemen that were required to get themselves covered in fallout, to look at the explosions from close up, fly aircraft through the cloud etc in the cause of science. (As if they did not have enough data on the effect on people in Japan!)
And they forgot to tell us about the day the wind changed and the radioactive cloud drifted over
Adelaide too. Bit of a problem for the locals in the western deserts too - efforts to "clear them out" were a bit sporadic.
Lots of interesting history we don't hear a lot about.

Yep know about the nuclear testing in
the desert, Dirk Hartog Island was another one wasn’t it.
I always laugh when a country builds a nuclear bomb and they are like, Right now we have built it we have to
test it to see if it works.
Nuclear testing what are they testing.
Right anything in 15KM radius terns into dust, 15 to 80KM’s anything in this area isn’t happy and outside of this you can get really sick. What more do you need to know.
