^The Beirut explosion was an Israeli micronuke attack. It was meant to send a signal to Hizbollah and other Arab nations. The fertilizer stored provided a perfect cover for their attack, they had complete deniability. We also know it was a bomb because Trump revealed it in one of his more notable moments of Washington outsider candor.
The twin tower explosions also might have been Israeli micronukes, 1 in each tower. The buildings were loaded with nanothermite, but that alone wouldn't have created the symmetrical mushroom explosion pattern in which large steel beam flew out, projected at very high speeds.
Another very strong argument for the existence of nuclear weapons is that they have been a remarkably good tool for dissuasion, the reason why conventionally stronger countries like India don't invade Pakistan, or why the US didn't dare attack Russia back in the 00s when it was a lot weaker than today.
Yes, the Beirut event was certainly a missile carrying a payload of considerable firepower, but who is to say that there weren't explosives at the storage already which merely amplified it? I think we are in agreeance on 9/11, for the most part, however when you say "micronuke" are you implying that these are explosive warheads based off of quantum mechanics involving splitting the atom, or another type of ordinance? There is no question that the powers that be have ballistics with tremendous explosive capacity, but there are so many different possibilities for creating explosions of incredible destructive magnitude. The British RAF alone manufactured over 40 "Grand Slam" bombs, each one weighing 22,000 lbs and having the destructive power of 10 tons of TNT combined with Amatol. These explosions were enormous in themselves. It seems like its time to explain these other types of bombs. I will go into more than just the "bundle of TNT" because I think more details are needed here, even from my standpoint.
The first that comes to mind is ANFO, or ammonium nitrate fuel oil, widely used in mining, produces a large volume of gas when detonated. This one is possible for Beirut and "nuke" testing. C-4, or composition-4 a plastic explosive made of RDX (don't be googling this or you'll be under surveillance for sure) aka cyclo-trimethelyene-trinitramine, plasticizer, and sometimes rubber, which results in a precise explosion for demolition work (definitely 9/11 applicable). C-4, if in a controlled setting, could create a mushroom-cloud shape with the right shaping and containment.
Then there's Semtex, made from RDX & PETN, also with plasticizers and stabilizers, which is more 9/11 applicable than C-4 because it's known to be less prone to accidental detonation (in which case it could have been installed weeks or months earlier). Semtex could be molded and shaped to create a visually-striking explosion resembling a mushroom cloud.
Then there's regular dynamite, but also tannerite, a binary explosive made from ammonium nitrate and aluminum powder, but requires a high-velocity impact, like a bullet or some kind of pressure trigger, to detonate. It does have a blast but not the shockwave effect, so unlikely for Beirut or 9/11 or "nuke" testing. There is also Hexogen, which is primarily used by militaries and non-military groups for shape charges, enough of this could produce the shockwave seen in the Beirut event.
Then you have one that no one ever seems to mention, and this is where the demolition specialists come in. Utilizing a combination of certain high explosives, like ammonium-nitrate based mixtures, which produce large fireballs and plumes of smoke, as well as Fuel-Air Explosives (FAEs) which disperse a cloud of fuel that is either liquid or powder into the air and ignite it resulting in significant fireballs and shockwaves, together would produce a visually impactful and impressive explosion. For the public viewings, in the pictures I posted it is clearly non-nuclear, but for the effects on the films, they used pyrotechnics. The visuals one can create with this artform are endless.
For those who don't know, FAEs are also known as thermobaric weapons, a type of explosive that relies on the atmospheric oxygen to enhance the blast effect.
I can think of a dozen other explosive materials but none of them would apply to the scenarios of duping the public or creating a singular collective blast powerful enough to either display the alleged heat, light, and shockwave capabilities which are erroneously given to the Hollywood bomb.
Your geopolitical analysis is inquisitive, but it falls short of understanding the world order set up in 1945. Nothing has been the same since before then. This is one world order, one world government, even in its still ongoing birthing pangs of assimilating cultures and erasing borders, and because it was built on the bodies of billions, it is as representative of corruption and deception on the outside as it is of rotten flesh and soulless husks on the inside. There is one money system that runs this world at the top, and one tribe that benefits from the collective misery of all, and the actions of all state actors ultimately serve the end goals of this small group.
From the Titanic to 9/11 the public has been fed one pantomime after another. If one accepts that FDR had foreknowledge of the bombing at Pearl Harbor, that maybe one might want to leave room for the possibility that his propaganda machine, the largest at that time, might have created the myth of atomic bombs. After the war, Operation Dominic in the Yukon, as well as Operation Greenhouse were all heavily built up as part of this propaganda.
The next time one hears a politician justifying the invasion of a country based on the idea that they supposedly have weapons of mass destruction, which we may hear again soon, realize that they are not only lying about the other country possessing weapons of mass destruction, they also may be lying about the very existence of weapons of mass destruction, which they know nothing better of. The military-industrial complex finds it convenient to perpetuate the myth of nuclear weapons to exploit the American people. Does anyone here expect the ransacking of trillions of dollars from the American people is to cover up something legitimate and true?
What needs to be debated now is the idea of atom splitting. This has not been addressed yet. What is apparent from Heisenberg's own statements after hearing about Hiroshima and Nagasaki, was that the (((Manhattan Project))) team encountered fundamental limitations in their understanding of quantum physics. The theoretical predictions of nuclear fission reactions deviated significantly from experimental results, preventing the successful development of a working atomic bomb.
And with the evidence from Dr. Palmer's work, it is apparent that this endeavor faced insurmountable technical challenges in the construction of the necessary components for a bomb. Critical technologies, such as the development of a reliable detonator or the production of fissile material, proved far more difficult than anticipated, as they did not have the enriched uranium ready until 1947.
If anyone is hellbent in believing that man has the power to destroy the earth with the push of a button, and the only reason it hasn't happened is because of the coordinated geopolitical military arms standoff and the excuse of the notion of Mutually Assured Destruction, then I would reassess your faith. Man, if given that power, would have already ended all life in our own folly. The idea that all supposedly nuclear-armed nations fear their own nuclear destruction too much to try to destroy another, and so we live in perpetual nuclear peace in a world of continuous conventional war begets questioning. When convincing your enemy or your public, you've got them achieving the same ends. It's both out in the open and contained at the same time. They are so secretive about all their other weapon systems, HAARP, Directed Energy, Rails, Coils, and other Kinetic weapons, "Rods from God" weapons. 'Nuclear weapons' are for sure weapons of propaganda, designed to fill the public with fear. The Hollywood bomb hoax thrives on secrecy, one of its main purposes is to create an apparent need for extreme secrecy within the government and the MIC.
One of the main purposes for the creation of the myth of nuclear weapons was the rise of the secret services. FDR's additional $500 million dollar budget he bestowed upon the project in 1942 also was a huge profiteering venture, but to what end? Huge industrial facilities were commissioned and built without any significant evidence a deliverable bomb was possible. There always was doubt that nuclear fuel could be produced in sufficient quantities whilst maintaining a pure product. Though Plutonium may exist in theory, it is likely that it can only be produced in trace quantities but not in sufficient quantity or purity to establish what it's attributes are, knowing that would be required for a bomb. The qualities of plutonium are highly convenient, not only is it highly fissionable, but also castable and machinable, qualities that were improved by alloying plutonium with gallium, although other elements were tried (gallium also supposedly lowers the susceptibility of plutonium to corrosion).
The explosions were mostly created using large towers of hundreds to thousands of tons of TNT. A short time before the trinity test, they detonated one such tower of 108 tons of TNT, the trinity test was a larger test of around 1,018 tons. How big is this explosion? How big one perceives it to be depends on how far the perception of its distance is to the viewer, and what there is to compare it to. The myth of the blinding light that supposedly makes nuclear bombs different from conventional bombs is achieved using floodlighting, mirrors, or burning magnesium within the explosion itself. Most witnesses were never actually seeing these blinding lights, as they were often told to cover their eyes and turn their backs. Often the illusion was reinforced with protective goggles and clothing. The footage is generally put together using footage of smaller explosions without anything in the shot to provide size comparison, mixed with footage of the sun, sunsets, and clouds using time-lapse photography. There is little to no unedited footage provided to the public, and almost all of the footage has cuts, to shots of observers or shots illustrating the supposed destructive force, and back again to footage of the developing aftermath of the explosion, and then away again, and back again. So the public does not see a nuclear explosion, complete as one continuous sequence. The FAEs could easily be mistaken, up close or from far away, for much larger or mythical nuclear bombs.
@RedLagoon Yes, as for the underwater tests, for "Operation Crossroads" it was first Abel, and for the video earlier in the thread, it was specifically Baker at Bikini Atoll, a similar but slightly different explanation can describe the effects we are seeing in the video, provided that the video is not a production of Lookout Mountain Studios. The supposed purpose of Operation Crossroads was to "test the effect of nukes on military hardware". I will first go with the premise that the video is a real explosion for this explanation, but what we are seeing is not the result of an Mk-3 plutonium bomb, which is what allegedly detonated underwater there. The first test, Abel, supposedly dropped from a plane, was likely a large conventional bomb. Baker, the much larger explosion, was large amounts of submerged explosives, and the effects seen could be achieved by the following:
The way in which the Baker explosion was likely done was with a large enough amount of tonnage of a mixture of TNT and ammonium nitrate to create an explosion with a shockwave large enough to vaporize the water. The explosive device would need to be designed to initiate a symmetrical explosion placed at a specific depth beneath the water surface. This explosion would create a shockwave that travels through the water, and as this wave interacts with the water, there would be an upward movement of water, the formation of a visible cloud or plume, and the creation of a gas cavity would appear. The collapse of the gas cavity, simulating the bubble pulse, results from the dynamic interaction of the explosion with the water.
Understanding the properties of explosives, shockwave dynamics, and its interaction with water is not a very simple ordeal, to those without the experience. Other than TNT & ANFO, the other two possibilities for creating this kind of large blast would involve using either large quantities of "Composition B" (basically just TNT & RDX) or augmenting it with amounts of Detonation Cord, a flexible explosive cord consisting of a core of high explosives.
The second explanation surrounding the footages, both Operation Crossroads, among the other US ventures, as well as the Soviet films, would be involving the methods used by Lookout Mountain Studios, which I could describe in vivid detail and accurate film terminology but would have to be another post as it will be quite lengthy.
