Castle Bravo

And instead of having 100 to 200 people dying, we are looking at a death toll of about 100,000 people, right, on the order of 100,000 people.

And then the third explosion I'm showing to you here is called Bravo Bomb, Castle Bravo.

It was a U.S. so-called nuclear weapons I really dislike the term tests because these were full-blown nuclear explosions.

This was done in the Bikini Aptol in the Marshall Islands.

But Britain's victory is really short-lived there because within a month, the United States had detonated Ivy Mike, which was another enormous weapon.

And then on March 1st, 1954, came Castle Bravo at the Bikini Atoll.

Yeah, this was 15 megatons.

That's roughly a thousand times more powerful than the Hiroshima bomb.

Book two being The Iron Codex, which is set during the Cold War era in the 50s.

And it's centered around the Castle Bravo fusion bomb detonation in the Bikini Atoll that the US did in 1954.

And then book three, The Shadow Commission, is a paranoid conspiracy thriller in the style of Three Days of the Condor.

that's centered around the Kennedy assassination and sort of a bid by power players behind the scenes, shadowy players known as the Shadow Commission, who are moving pieces around and killing people off in a bid to seize global control from the black magic perspective.

For many, many years, we exploded particularly massive thermonuclear weapons in the atmosphere.

And we know from the Castle Bravo explosion that my colleague Jeff Cruikshank from Australia has written about extensively, along with MJ12Logic, There is clear evidence that a UFO was disrupted by that explosion and fell into the ocean and was retrieved by the United States.

And that was probably the moment when the United States realized that a nuclear explosion, the incredible emanation of electromagnetic energy by those explosions, can in some way disrupt the gravity field or whatever the propulsion field is of these alleged craft.

So yes, beyond any shadow of a doubt, we've realized that nuclear weapons can have an impact on not just non-human intelligences, but possibly interdimensionally as well.

It is no use, Charles, pretending I'm not hard hit.

Ah, you can learn more about this by joining us in Episode 2, Thermonuclear Epiphany and the Child of Terror, where we trace Churchill's post-war crusade from his famous Fulton Iron Curtain speech to the shock of a 15-megaton Castle Bravo H-bomb test and his ultimate epiphany that safety will be the sturdy child of terror and survival the twin brother of annihilation.

Churchill understood remarkably early that nuclear energy might transform both warfare and international politics.

Yet Britain's initial scientific advantage could not compensate for its limited industrial resources or for Churchill's costly hesitation when Roosevelt first proposed a joint project.

Okay.

Ivy Mike, Castle Bravo.

Ivy Mike? What the fuck? [laughs] The first H-bomb.

Yeah, do the first, uh, hydrogen bomb, 7.4, uh, mega- is it megatons? Yeah.

And that's where Godzilla enters the story.

Lucky Dragon No. 5 was a tuna fishing boat that got hit by Castle Bravo fallout in March 1954.

The crew suffered acute radiation syndrome.

One man even died, becoming the first recorded hydrogen bomb victim.

Eisenhower first.

Ike really did go dark for a few hours one night in Palm Springs, and nine days later, Castle Bravo went off.

The dentist is in the surgeon general's file.

The medic is one man's memory.
