## Resource

Michael Palmer is a scientist who authored a superb book called Hiroshima Revisited , in which he conclusively argues why the US could not have dropped atom bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Instead, he claims the cities were bombed in the same way Tokyo and Dresden were—through conventional firebombing campaigns. His excellent 2022 discussion with me, about this, can be found on my website . Now, he has returned to explain why nuclear weapons, as a whole, don't exist. He says the entire narrative is a form of fear-based propaganda, designed to manipulate the public and advance the agenda of one-world governance. 💸 Please support my work and help me remain independent. I'm constantly under attack. There are a bunch of ways to show your support, and they're not all financial.
