The National Museum of Nuclear Science, and History located at 601 Eubank, in Albuquerque New Mexico is a brilliant place to take the family on a Sunday. The museum is both patriotic, and critical when it comes to other countries.

The museum is divided into 20 exhibits which include very informative information about nuclear science in the past, present, and the future. The convenient layout of the museum allows you learn about nuclear science in exactly that order, the past, the present, and then the future. First is the study of the atom, before the atomic bomb was ever discovered, and the American masterminds behind it all. You then move on to the history leading up to the creation and use of the atomic bomb and the countries that became involved in World War ll.

The World War ll exhibit, along with the Manhattan Project/Trinity and its Legacy exhibits are particularly interesting to me. In the World War ll exhibit it explains that the United States was in a race to complete the first Atomic bomb. It also clearly states that everyone failed except for us. Don’t get me wrong, the exhibit is beyond informative and very eye appealing, but every piece that explains the atomic bomb projects in other countries is negative. For example, the German section of the exhibit emphasizes that Germany was winning in the race for creating the atomic bomb but failed drastically because it wasn’t a priority, and there was a lack of resources. The German section of the exhibit also offers informative information about the cruel Adolf Hitler, and the ever-so-awful Holocaust. The Japan section also is portrayed in a negative way, stating that the Japanese had an atomic bomb program at the same time that we had the Manhattan Project, but of course, we beat them to it. This section also includes gruesome details of Japanese Military Aggression including the Rape of Nanking, Pearl Harbor, and the Japanese Internment Camps. The Manhattan Project is in it’s own section, apart from the negative depiction of the making of the atomic bomb in other countries. The Manhattan Project and Trinity and its Legacy exhibits are probably the most positive exhibits in the entire museum, they’re godly. It is filled with propaganda and includes information of how life in Los Alamos was during the Manhattan Project. It also praises J. Robert Oppenheimer for his success in creating the bomb that effectively ended World War ll. Go America!

Another reason I believe that the Museum is pro-American is because of the exhibits Fat Man and Little Boy & Hiroshima and Nagasaki. First off, the two bombs that dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki are the title of the exhibit by their smart nicknames, but is very informational and provide outstanding visuals including “Gadget” which was the code name given to the first atomic device tested. The Hiroshima & Nagasaki  exhibit on the other hand, is exceptionally small and only offers minimal information.

Iran ’s emerging empire

By: Charles Krauthammer

While Iran’s march toward a nuclear bomb has provoked a major clash between the White House and Congress, Iran’s march toward conventional domination of the Arab world has been largely overlooked. In Washington, that is. The Arabs have noticed. And the pro-American ones, the Gulf Arabs in particular, are deeply worried.

This week, Iranian-backed Houthi rebels seized…

Thank you. 

You've help to radicalize me and further push me to the left.
