I'm not a nuclear physicist or any kind of physicist for that matter, but to think these weapons don't exist is absurd. What happened to 2 Japanese cities? Did they just drop a big load of dynamite? In the Western United States, there are hundreds of craters from testing, what caused those?
No, sorry. It's not just a scare tactic, those things are all too real.

Or the photos of a US battleship standing on end before it immediately sunk during the Baker test at Bikini Atoll.

Just to add to what everyone else has said... looking at conspiracy website and youtube videos is in no way research.

Yes, it is, if one is careful.
In fact, in some cases, YouTube videos and conspiracy websites are the only way to get at the truth, unless one has direct contacts in person who can fill one in on what's really going on.

thanks for your input. thats why i've started this discussion. i am happy to be educated by others who maybe have better insights, knowledge. i know this is a highly controversial theme.
In Hiroshima I was prepared for radically different sights. But, to my surprise, Hiroshima looked exactly like all the other burned-out cities in Japan.
There was a familiar pink blot, about two miles in diameter. It was dotted with charred trees and telephone poles. Only one of the cities twenty bridges was down. Hiroshima's clusters of modern buildings in the downtown section stood upright.
It was obvious that the blast could not have been so powerful as we had been led to believe. It was extensive blast rather than intensive.
I had heard of buildings instantly consumed by unprecedented heat. Yet here I saw the buildings structurally intact, and what is more, topped by undamaged flag poles, lightning rods, painted railings, air raid precaution signs and other comparatively fragile objects.
At the T-bridge, the aiming point for the atomic bomb, I looked for the "bald spot" where everything presumably had been vaporized in the twinkling of an eye. It wasn't there or anywhere else. I could find no traces of unusual phenomena.
The destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki appear not to be the result of one large explosion, but rather the result of a fire-bombing campaign comparable in pictures to Tokyo's fire-bombed remains. Hiroshima and Nagasaki also never experienced anything like the hundreds or thousands of years of radiation predicted by nuclear scientists, in fact, vegetation began growing within a month after the bombing, and the Japanese people began rebuilding almost immediately! Some nuclear physicists even claim nuclear weaponry fraudulent based solely on the technical impossibilities of fission material not to be incinerated before triggering the necessary nuclear chain reaction.
If you're so sure in this assumption, then why don't you go to Fukushima and/or Chernobyl and see for yourself. Seriously. If you went there and were able to prove its a scare tactic, THAT would really get peoples attention and give you a tremendous amount of credibility.
Hey Barb, radiation increases come from non-nuclear explosions as well, there was an increase in Hiroshima and Nagasaki for a while as well but flowers began growing within a month and people repopulated and rebuilt the areas immediately without any long-term problems. The pictures of Japanese people burned is consistent with fire-bombing like happened in Tokyo and Dresden for example... they are clearly burn victims, not nuclear bomb victims. Don't get me wrong, I am as disgusted and outraged as anyone about what American weaponry has done to Japanese, Iraqis, and other peoples all over the world! That doesn't mean it went down exactly how they told us it did though. Peace
Actually I have a hard time to imagine that this is a hoax in that manner that nuclear weapons do not exist. I think the headline is misleading. In my opinion the do exist but the hoax is about the consequences of the radiation. It does not really take this much much time until you reach a level where everything is growing back and you can live there again.
