THE TRUE MANHATTAN PROJECT

 

 

THE TRUE MANHATTAN PROJECT

The entrance of America into WW2 in Europe against the Nazis on behalf of England is now alleged to have actually started in early 1941 before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.  The USG had formed a lend-lease agreement with England in March 1941 after war England declared war on Germany in September 1939 when Germany invaded Poland.  England had invaded Iceland and turned it over to the US to use as a military base.  In April 1941 the US destroyer Niblock fired 3 depth charges against a German U Boat which actually started a secret war in the North Atlantic with Nazi Germany.  Hitler had been reluctant to enter into a war with the US but was frustrated by the US assistance of England with massive shipment of supplies.Back-channel deals were made midpoint through the war with Nazi Intel for a settlement agreement.  The German military would surrender, but the Nazi party would share it massive assets that it had stripped from countries it attacked, invaded and occupied and from the Jews and dissidents sent to death camps.  It would also share its plutonium that it successfully processed from uranium (later to be used in the Atomic bombs dropped on Japan) and its rocket technology, other advanced weapons technology such as TV guided cruise missiles, and anti-gravity craft.

And it would share all this and it’s ready made world wide spy network which they claimed to have completely infiltrated Russia, if the USG would agree to bring thousands of its key intel and scientists over to the US, offer them jobs in defense and Intel, provide opportunities to become US Citizens, and most important of all allow them to continue using South America and Antarctica as bases of operations to serve as “consultants” and praetorian guard for certain dictators and at least one very large US Corporation importing certain yellow fruit from South American (known as the “octopus” or the “company”, the original network of private spies which the CIA was later based on.

 

Upshot-Knothole Grable, a test carried out by the U.S. military in Nevada on May 25, 1953. A 280mm nuclear shell was fired 10km into the desert by the M65 Atomic Cannon, detonating in the air, about 500 feet above the ground, with a resulting 15 kiloton explosion.

THE USG WAS COMPROMISED AT THE HIGHEST LEVELS BY RUSSIAN MOLES WHO WERE ABLE TO OBTAIN THE MANHATTAN PROJECT SECRETS AND THERE IS AMPLE EVIDENCE TO SUGGEST THAT 9,000 US SOLDIERS (POWS) WERE CAPTURED BY RUSSIAN SOLDERS (TAKEN FROM GERMAN PRISON CAMPS TO RUSSIAN GULAGS FOR HARD LABOR, MEDICAL EXPERIMENTATION, TORTURE AND MURDER, AND THE US MILITARY HIGH COMMAND KNEW THIS AND ALLOWED  IT WITH THE EXCEPTION OF GENERAL GEORGE PATTON WHO OBJECTED AND WAS ASSASSINATED FOR IT.

During WW2 the secrets of the Manhattan Project were rumored to have been stolen by Russian moles placed deep and high inside FDR’s administration including Harry Hopkins, and it was alleged that the Russians were provided this information along with certain war products during lend lease shipments by military cargo aircraft.  It has been rumored and alleged that General Eisenhower, the Allied Commander, knew full well that approximately 9,000 US GIs were captured by Russian soldier who overran some Nazi prison Camps, and allowed the Russians to keep these US POWS, after which they were allegedly taken to Russian Gulags in Siberia and used for extreme labor and horrible medical experiments, both usually fatal.  One American soldier escaped to tell the story but could  get little traction in the American mainstream media.  It was rumored that FDR made some twisted back-channel deals with Stalin and gave up far too much to the Russians.  When General George Patton objected and raised the alarm he was shunned.  It is rumored that he was planning on returning to the US and running for President, which he had a fair chance of winning since he was so popular.Truman’s advisers convinced him that Patton had to be sanctioned and Army Intel was tasked with the Assassination.  Those first offered refused and eventually someone agreed.  The rest is history.  General Patton was shot in the neck with a rubber bullet through the window of his staff car which was supposed to kill him, but failed.  While in the hospital he was allegedly poisoned.

NAZI INTEL CAPITALIZED ON SOVIET INFILTRATION OF THE USG AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL DURING THE LAST PART OF WW2 AND ALLEGEDLY USED THIS AS A MEANS TO FURTHER INFILTRATE AND HIJACK AMERICAN INTEL

Later as the Rosenbergs were implicated to have been involved in providing advanced nuclear secrets to the Soviets by Richard Nixon, Gehlen who ran the  Nazi intel network brought in under Operation paperclip, convinced US War Dept (now Defense Dept) that the administration of FDR and Truman had been infiltrated by Russian moles and major changes would have to be made to provide corrective action.  This really moved up the Cold War several notches and is rumored to have allowed Nazi Intel to have deeply infiltrated and perhaps taken control of the War Dept and the Shadow Govt which evolved soon after the Roswell UFO flap and two other nearby UFO crashes about the same time.

NAZI INTEL APPEARS TO HAVE HIJACKED AMERICAN INTEL AND IS ALLEGED TO HAVE SERVED AS CUTOUTS AND SERVANTS OF THE CITY OF LONDON AND THE LARGE WALL STREET BANKS

Thus Nazi Intel appeared to have hijacked the US Shadow Govt and American Intel and was allowed this power as long as it served as useful cutouts for the large Wall Street Banks by working to hep start and maintain perpetual police action, undeclared wars around the world, maintain powerful dictatorships in South America thus protecting the Octopus and asset stripping of South America, and assisted in the raising of large amounts of off the books funds from black operations such as illegal narcotics and weapons trafficking.

Following the July 26 Potsdam Declaration, where Allies outlined the terms of surrender for Japan and promised "inevitable and complete destruction" of Japan if they failed to comply, preparations were secretly under way to make use of the newly-tested Atomic Bomb. Here, the first nuclear device to be used as a weapon, codenamed "Little Boy", rests on trailer cradle in a pit, ready for loading into the bomb bay of the "Enola Gay" in August of 1945. (NARA) #

22

The U.S. B-29 Superfortress bomber "Enola Gay" took off from Tinian Island very early on the morning of August 6th, carrying "Little Boy", a 4,000 kg (8,900 lb) uranium bomb. At 8:15 am, Little Boy was dropped from 9,400 m (31,000 ft) above the city, freefalling for 57 seconds while a complicated series of fuse triggers looked for a target height of 600 m (2,000 ft) above the ground. At the moment of detonation, a small explosive initiated a super-critical mass in 64 kg (141 lbs) of uranium. Of that 64 kg, only .7 kg (1.5 lbs) underwent fission, and of that mass, only 600 milligrams was converted into energy - an explosive energy that seared everything within a few miles, flattened the city below with a massive shockwave, set off a raging firestorm and bathed every living thing in deadly radiation. At the time this photo was made, smoke billowed in a column 20,000 feet above Hiroshima while smoke from the burst had spread over 10,000 feet at the base of the rising column. (NARA) #

Starting in 1942, the U.S. government began quietly acquiring more than 60,000 acres in Eastern Tennessee for the Manhattan Project -- the secret World War II program that developed the atomic bomb. The government needed land to build massive facilities to refine and develop nuclear materials for these new weapons, without attracting the attention of enemy spies. The result was a secret town named Oak Ridge that housed tens of thousands of workers and their families. The entire town and facility were fenced in, with armed guards posted at all entries. Workers were sworn to secrecy and only informed of the specific tasks they needed to perform. Most were unaware of the exact nature of their final product until the nuclear bombs were dropped on Japan in 1945. Photographer Ed Westcott (the only authorized photographer on the facility) took many photos of Oak Ridge during the war years and afterwards, capturing construction, scientific experiments, military maneuvers, and everyday life in a 1940s company town (where the company happens to be the U.S. government).
