Hi Andy and readers,
Uh uh, 'twasn't "Shot Mike" that scared the hell out of the Yanks, it was
the FIRST one, Test Alpha. The yield far surpassed all expectations, but
was deemed a failure since it went off well above the optimum altitude
and only created a hole in the sky. The awesome one was Bravo that went
off under water surrounded by a bunch of old battleships set for the
scrapyard. Since the series ran alphabetically, Mike was one of the last
in fact and it proved to be a rousing success even if it did no direct
damage. It was an ionospheric burst designed to disrupt radio
communications but ended up doing much more. I guess you can say it was
scary because it knocked out power grids all over the Pacific Rim from
California to Australia and northward to Japan. Hmmm, EMP just isn't the
way to go if you want to kill HF propagation, so now the Americans have
Project HAARP in Alaska and the Russians have another somewhere in
Siberia. Sure, you can blow holes in the ionosphere easily by beaming a
few megawatts at 14Mhz skyward and it's cheaper too.
Now it's been said that the Aussies have some "social issues" with the
Abos over Britains testing down under, but nothing compared to the mess
the US created with the Bikinians. What got shoved under the carpet after
they were relocated (Bikini is forever uninhabitable) is that they got
fallout from the tests and have health problems as a result, all down the
generations. In that respect they're a ruined people, and to make matters
worth the islands they now reside on are naturally uninhabitable, they
simply cannot support themselves since little grows there. The US
taxpayers have supported them all along by shipping them food to keep
them alive, a continual drain on us and one huge embarrassment to boot.
Now don't you think they could have been relocated to habitable islands
or just left alone and the desert islands used for testing? No, of course
not, the government almost never does anything that makes sense and we
all know that "military intellegence" is an oxymoron, with the mphasis on
MORON.
Now if you want to REALLY get scary, look into the technical reasons why
Hiroshima and Nagasaki were chosen for targets rather than some out of
the way military installations or even manufacturing centers. I'll give
you a hint, those cities were deliberately held as virgin population
centers while we were bombing the hell out of the rest of Japan. Think in
HUMAN terms and you can't help but weep, mourn for the innocent.
