This con job was all new to me until very recently – I just never really thought about it. It’s a massive can of worms, but even I can tell that the old video footage is fake, and a quick look around online (not on Google though, because that search engine is less than forthcoming on this subject) rapidly has atom bombs looking as real as moon landings. Holy crap we are a gullible public.
Hiroshima, Japan 1945 – odd how the ruins look very similar to Dresden or Tokyo (see below) which were just obliterated using regular bombs…
The death tolls from each of these bombings are very unclear, but they were all horrifying, with Dresden possibly the worst. The post war cancer rates however, are more evident. (Also see below)
Dresden Germany
Nagasaki Japan
Hiroshima Japan
Tokyo Japan
Post WW2 cancer rates in Japan are a lot lower than Germany, and far lower than (nuclear free) New Zealand
This is all pretty complex, and cancer rates online are manipulated until the cows come home, but cancer death rates in Nagasaki and Hiroshima do not appear to be any higher than the rest of Japan, (although finding any reliable figures on cancer rates by city in Japan is not easy) and the cancer rates in Japan on a whole, are comparatively low.
The highest cancer rates are Denmark #1 (possible causes include high smoking rates, and reportedly high levels of depression, but there seems to be some other missing factors here), with New Zealand close behind at an appalling #4 (possible causes include water fluoridation, high rates of vaccinations, high use of pesticides, and high rates of obesity), USA (all the NZ factors, in theory at even worse levels, plus additional radiation – how NZ can rate worse than USA is downright suspicious) and meanwhile Japan is one of the lowest in the developed world at #51 (despite in theory having had two major cities destroyed by nuclear bombs). Very odd…

There are quite a few videos on YouTube about the nuclear bomb con but most of them are either poor quality or really long and boring.
This 10 minute video is one of the more watchable ones.
