On that one I have to disagree. The early nukes were real and were witnessed by various reputable scientists. One of my professors, Richard Feynman, not only worked on the Manhattan Project but was present at early tests, and he described the explosions. In particular, the nukes emit ultraviolet and gamma rays that no conventional explosive gives out. And the use of Geiger counters shows right away the sites were radioactive.
Also there is a LOT of evidence that atomic explosives are real. Basically any of our nuclear power plants could blow up if it were not for elaborate preventatives in the mechanisms. Everyone in the power industry knows it, nuclear sub technicians know it.
A final proof that bombs blew up is that the sites were and are radioactive. A conventional bomb would not do that nor create the special radioactive isotopes that only a nuke could make. In fact, the damn early air bursts contamimated the globe with radioactive cobalt. After they learned better, they started putting tests underground.
I'm not taking a hard line with this. But I believe we definitely don't have the full story, as to the development and use of nuclear bombs. Perhaps they tested some which were somewhat real early on. Or maybe all tests were faked, one way or another. Many intelligent and reputable physicists believe the Apollo Moon landings were exactly as NASA said they were, for example. I'm sure there are ones who even observed the rocket take-offs first hand and never doubted that they brought those astronauts to the moon.
There is plenty of documentation from the atomic bomb tests which are essentially manipulated photos, film shots from impossible angles (i.e. from within the blast zone, looking back at a house being destroyed, which in fact essentially looks like a minature being blown up), flimsy wooden structures still standing, after the explosions, too close to the test area, etc.
The 2 bomb drops in Japan were likely actually napalming of those largely wooden structured cities, by 66 air force planes documented to be in Japan at the time. Witnesses described being surprised how much the aftermath looked like the aftermath of a firebombing and not like some new phenomenon. People survived unscathed in the basements of wooden structures and had no radiation sickness when they emerged. A 40-year study of thousands of Japanese who survived the alleged atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki found radiation exposure did not cause genetic damage that could lead to human mutations. Pictures of so-called radiation burned bodies could equally be bodies that have been chemically burned by napalm.
Clem, I respect you so I am not attacking and will not attack you. But I have to disagree on the nukes being nonreal because I have deep scholastic connections in the physics community from which I know a lot related to nuclear weapons that I very much trust to be true.
I totally agree that many things are manipulated and have been for government reasons
Okay, so:
Makow:
I read Makow daily and have for many years. Some of what he posts is valid and on target. Some is speculative but credible. However, some guest columnists are way off base and not to be trusted. The Brabantian material very much diverges from reality. There is zero question whether the explosions produce radioactive materials that no conventional explosives can produce. Nukes produce radioactives of both the short-term isotope kind, and isotopes with longer lifetimes. After all a-bomb tests one can immediately detect short-term isotopes that did not exist before in the area. There is no other way they can exist than as products of a nuclear explosion. Interestingly, after the 9/11 event there was radioactive tritium in the area that could not have come from anything but a mini-nuke.
Mathis:
Mathis is a smart guy but he builds wrong models underlying his explanations. He is an intelligent but messed up guy.
A key flaw in his explanation here is that MANY of the ships bordering the explosion had to be scrapped and mothballed because they became radioactive, again from isotopes synthesized by the explosions. This really invalidates his conclusions.
Renegade:
Partly leverages off Brabantian, and claiming napalm and conventional explosives caused all the burning damage is partly bad physics. First of all, the blast energy was higher than conventional materials. Second, Hiroshima became radioactive, AND Japanese suffered radiation burns, not just conventional burns.
Finally, I have some technical knowledge about nuclear weapons and I assure you they are real and not a story made up to fool the public, or even the Germans who had their own bomb research. The basic technology use in some of the bombs even killed a scientist in a lab accident that is well documented where he accidentally caused a sub-critical reaction that did not explode fortunately but which created a radioactive burst that killed him.

The technology is real. Even a civilian, with the right materials, could create a very low yield gun-type atomic bomb.
You don't seem to like those sources I linked above, but really, they are not original researchers, merely relaying and summarizing the research of others (without attribution in the case of Mathis, I believe).
Original researchers are listed below, also for anyone interested in this topic who wants to read more extensively about it:
