Just stop already! You are embarrassing your entire family with this garbage.
German scientists discovered fission using uranium in the late 1930s. This news spread throughout the physicist community pretty quickly. Edward Teller (eventual father of the hydrogen bomb) informed Einstein that the Germans could use this discovery to create a nuclear bomb.
This is when Einstein wrote his famous letter to President Roosevelt conveying that we needed to apply this knowledge to conceiving a nuclear bomb before the Germans could. This was when The Manhattan Project was initiated in Manhattan, NY, hence the name, and eventually Los Alomos, NM was chosen as the site of research and testing of the A-bomb. Oppenheimer was chosen to head the program.
If we wouldn't have conceived the A-bomb, the Germans eventually would have. Thank God that we were able to apply that knowledge to a bomb earlier than the Germans. Otherwise you and I might not be typing these posts right now. At very least we would probably be speaking German..
If you've never seen this documentary, I highly recommend it. It is fascinating. Previously classified video of the entire evolution of the nuclear program was declassified sometime in the 90s, and this documentary was later done. The most interesting documentary I've ever watched..

This thread is starting to go off the rails....thought this might help.
I don't know, Operation Northwoods, which has been documented and was proven to have been sanctioned and approved by several high-ranking US gov't officials, called for terrorist attacks by the CIA on the American people and blamed on Cuba, including high jacking and bringing down a US airliner.
Got all the way up to the president before he put the kibosh on it, so it's not like it's totally inconceivable.
That said, I'm not a believer in the inside job conspiracy.
mercy.

I said CONspiracy, not CORNspiracy“Phantom penalty” in the Corey Dixon punt return against Florida State in the 1994 National Championship game.
Hey man, I start threads, I don’t actually read themI think you are 4 pages too late.
"Path to Paradise" movie. We were warned they would try again. Haunting words at the end.
I suppose 9/11 Truthers and people who think JFK was killed by the Mafia and radical Cubans are examples of left-wing conspiracy theories that I think are a lot of fun to read about, but knowing full well they are mostly bunk. The JFK assassination was weird and probably had more moving parts than we currently know about, but I don't think it goes very deep. 9/11 Truther stuff is all complete B.S.
The thing that makes the jfk most talked about conspiracy theories is 1 Dallas police screwed up and let Oswald get killed had no trial, 2 it was filmed by different people in different locations. The latest one that a secret service agent was hungover and accidentally shot the president while riding in a car
and also the nonsensical explanation in the Warren Report, magic bullet, autopsy, etc
fun conspiracy: CIA Operator George H W Bush was the trigger man in the Kennedy assassination
Even funner: George W Bush and Hillary teamed up to take out JFK Jr.

If I could learn the truth about any one conspiracy rhen I’d probably pick the JFK assasination. As far as 9-11 goes I don’t think the government had anything to do with but I do think thatvthey knew something was going on.
IMDB quote about Path to Paradise: "The incredible story of the events leading up to the bombing of the World Trade Center in New York and the capture of the terrorists. The amazing thing is that the FBI had an informant among the terrorists, but refused to pay him $500/wk for more information." Good grief, sadly sounds exactly like what the government would do.
You forgot h w bush flying a sr 71 to Iran to negotiate a deal that they wouldn’t release the hostages until after the election
Is that a conspiracy or is that mainstream accepted history at this point?
it's both.. conspiracies take place all the time. when they're proven, they're no longer theories, but remain conspiracies nonetheless.
Head in the sand indeed. I think your tinfoil hat is fitting just a little too tight right now..
you can ignore reality but you cannot ignore the consequences of ignoring reality
Speaking of reality, ever thought about living in it?
... Mayor Pete is a heterosexual, however, his campaign believes he has a better chance of winning the Democratic nomination as a homosexual

Who is living in reality, someone who acknowledges that 52 story building fell into its footprint without being hit by an airplane or someone who ignores the fact that a 52 story building fell without being hit by an airplane?
I mean, what the heck happened there? If you have an explanation for a building falling down like that.. i mean.. do tell.
Large, unsupported spans of floors, 7 hours of flames, failed sprinklers then cascading failures of support structures. The building had 2 buildings next to it collapse causing damage and starting the fires. Steel doesn’t have to melt to structurally fail, as it heats it expands and weakens, so no, it didn’t melt and collapse, but a raging fire over 7 hours eventually heated the structure until it failed.
Nah. But I did hear claims that Bush blew up the levies and flooded New Orleans. Actually really did hear that on Msnbc.
