His family lived near Pruitt-Igoe, the famously neglected public housing complex in St. Louis, which is where the toxic aerosol spray was located. Classic case of "let's use the darkies as guinea pigs". The government admits that it was spraying a chemical which only simulates the dispersal of a radioactive isotope, but evidence suggests that they were actually using the real thing.
Some time after the experiment began, the government ran a drive for kids in St. Louis to send in their baby teeth "to see if they were growing strong bones 😇". Because Strontium-90 accumulates in your teeth, this would've been a convenient cover story for measuring its dispersal, since the bioassays could be analyzed in conjunction with the kids' addresses. He talks about that in this interview.
it’s way more ethical when the radiation exposure is intentional and then covered up
I could see how someone could feel more unsafe with a minuscule chance of an uncontrolled nuclear disaster than a strong chance of someone of a different ethnicity being intentionally radiated.
the relevant thing to bring up is that America is constantly losing or dropping nuclear bombs by accident https://listverse.com/2014/11/03/10-times-the-military-accidentally-dropped-nuclear-bombs/
no no, nuclear... commies.. soviet?? thats SCARY BAD. i literally dont even know who covid 19 is
Unimaginable terror inflicted into someone just entering this world.
I hope that the people in charge of the US military and intelligence apparatuses someday understand the true extent of the harm they’ve inflicted on this world, and they’re forced to reckon with whatever vestigial consciences they have.
Unfortunately I doubt they will ever 'understand' because I don't think they are capable of empathy in any capacity to begin with. All we can do is hold them accountable, preferably by removing their non-empathy forming genes from the pool permanently
The sharp increase in the rate of birth defects like that in Iraq since the American war of terror there is absolutely unconscionable. Someone at a hospital in Fallujah posts them to Twitter. Very much NSFL and always fills me with renewed anti-imperialist rage :amerikkka:
very much I will give you whatever you want just make this go away energy. Which was very much the correct reaction
I mean say what you want about the anti-communism, but this guy has been interviewed multiple times talking about how he wanted to make a show about a broken government system failing to handle a crisis to make people think about climate change. Of course this is read by dumb fucks as “America good.”
I don't understand this comment or how it's relevant. Whose anti-communism are you talking about? Karol Markowic's? What is read by people as "America good"?
Presumably Craig Mazin, the creator of the Chernobyl miniseries
Oh, I see now. I thought he was saying that @gumby4christ wanted to be a TV producer and that therefore we probably shouldn't believe his claims as they're likely made up for publicity.
Edit: I was thrown off because he said "this guy", even though Craig Mazin isn't mentioned or pictured in this tweet.
Hey remember when the US secretly snd illegally laced the food of Special Ed students with radiation to see if it cured them?
We have literally dozens of books about the shit the US did with radiation testing
There’s so many bodies from the Manhattan Project that get totally forgotten about from scientists being irresponsible to the janitor getting exposed to the government intentionally irradiating people just to see what would happen, harvesting bodies and refusing to tell families about it.
A science channel youtuber started highlighting this stuff just to discuss the dangers of radiation and stuff but these stories are easy to pull out and just fucking wild.
Kyle Hill. His vids are aimed at a younger audience for the most part, but his series on nuclear accidents are a very different tone and are really well done.
If the Chernobyl HBO series came out this year, people would've called it anti-American for depicting the Soviet Union effectively dealing with a crisis
what was that one tweet that said all documentaries about COVID should start with Chernobyl coming out and journalists smugly proclaiming it would never happen in the US?
