#Repost @4biddenknowledge with @repostapp γ»γ»γ» IT'S IN OUR FOOD!!! #OperationTeaPot #1955. The US Military tested nuclear devices on American soil, knowing that the fallout would kill Americans. Teapot was authorized by President #Eisenhower on 30 August 1954. These devices were tested for a broad variety of tactical weapon applications, including air defense (AD) and anti-submarine warfare (ASW). Several new primaries were tested for a new generation of lighter and more compact (Class "D") thermonuclear weapons to be fired in 1956 during #OperationRedwing. Teapot released some 24,500 kilocuries of radioiodine (I-131) into the atmosphere (for comparison, Trinity released about 3200 kilocuries of radioiodine). This produced total civilian radiation exposures amounting to 41 million person-rads of thyroid tissue exposure (about 11% of all exposure due to continental nuclear tests). This can be expected to eventually cause about 13,000 cases of thyroid cancer, leading to some 650 deaths. Why do I care??? Because my uncle did 2 Tours in Vietnam and survived, 20 years NYPD and survived, retired in #Nevada and got #ThyroidCancer. From the same country that he fought for. That's why. #4biddenknowledge
