New short video (1:53) by yourmajezty, put on Youtube on 23rd August 2011.

Quite a few voiceover comments will be familiar to people here, but new material (in my view) is:
(1) Suggestion that rocket trails were intended to make the explosion look bigger. (Another version is the trails were a sort of measure of blast - if so they failed miserably as they never got moved).
(2) San Francisco as a wooden city which burned after the earthquake (1906, not 1989), as a comparison with burning in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, both largely wood, like many other Japanese towns at the time.
(3) Several video trick claims, including one (thumbnail above) where there's a distance view of a bomb with people suspiciously arranged along the bottom of the photo. The middle-distance people are from a different image, the voiceover states. I haven't heard the claim in this form before, though FirstClassSkeptic found photos of this type - see the thread on 'Lookout Mountain' https://nuke-lies/www.nukelies.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=209
. . . There's a similar claim about a tidal wave NOT appearing to the left of a supposed underwater blast. I think he's making the point that there's a presumably faked image of a wave or tsunami coming straight to the camera; why isn't it circular, so there'd be a similar wave over to the left, and right?
(4) To be fair, also, the costing issue gets a mention, though it's not really quantified - we're talking about materials and manpower wasted on such a vast scale it's hard to discuss.

I wish the voiceover said "nuclear" and not "nucular" though.

Thanks to yourmajezty for letting us know about his new video!

[Lies All Lies]

yeah I was gonna mention I noticed in alot of the Nuke Lies atomic blasts that the foreground is short and then a long away distance shot is sitting on top of the foreground which is like a smaller image and maybe that is a far distance shot into the distance with the SUN sitting on that horizon where the upper image (distance shot with horizon and sky) meet the foreground (ground level camera with props / people).
That way the SUN can be at the center screen and like a atomic bomb going off somewhere on the ground out in the distance.

I wish the voiceover said "nuclear" and not "nucular" though.

He says it the way most Americans say it. Maybe the way I say it, I don't know; I don't pay any attention to myself talking.

[FirstClassSkeptic]

I would like to see him give more detail about why the streaks are the result of 'flash bombs'. And what are 'flash bombs'? Are they the photoflash bombs that I posted about?

[1] Rockets - a film voiceover said these rockets were intended to show blast - they were released just before the 'bomb', and presumably the trails were supposed to veer away wildly from the blast. But that's just one story. I'm sure they aren't photoflsh bombs.

[2] 'Nukular' - I vaguely remember an episode of Cheers - the 'Woody' character had made some speech off-camera and said in an embarrassed way, "Did I really say nucular??" or similar. It happens here, too!

[FirstClassSkeptic]

That's what lancelot1954, or some such name, said on youtube, that the rockets were there to gage the blast. He said they were launched just before the blast. He had a name for them, which I can't recall. I asked him to point out a video to me that showed the rockets being launched just before the blast. He couldn't think of any and couldn't remember having seen such a film, but he was convinced that he had, and just couldn't remember. "I saw so many during training' sort of thing. He was the guy that claimed to have been trained for seven years, or so, in nuclear weaponry and physics. Remember him?

I think it's a trail of napalm where they spray napalm up in the air to get a ball of fire. Probably from several flame throwers at once.

The 50 second black-and-white (or tinted) clip inserted into post-1945 supposed nuke test films shows a lot of small ignitions or smoke/fire pillars of some sort. (It's in my not very popular pair of videos). It sounds the same sort of thing as you're saying.

Thinking about it, what you say makes sense. If rockets were launched, judging at least by fireworks, they'd take a few seconds to get up into the sky. Even if they were launched when the main flash, or white-out, was started, they'd likely be still going after it. They don't seem to be regularly spaced around, either, or some would be on the nearside of the blast.

By the way, do you know where the photo yourmajezty used, came from? I'm seen similar ones. I'm wondering how sound he is about the middle distance (coloured red in that clip) being photographically different from the closer and further bits.

[rerevisionist]

yourmajezty's picture is from Operation Desert Rock, in the 'Buster Jangle' series. I'm pretty sure his image is of 'dog' (it followed 'Charlie').



Here's a Wiki photo, as used by yourmajezty. It's not very clear, but certainly there's a suspiciously large number of out of focus blobs far out in the middle-distance. (Use Ctrl+ to enlarge it): ---



Here's a bigger relatively high definition online photo, from Wiki, not the same as yourmajezty's, of what is claimed to be the same event---


The whole series looks implausible to me, but I'm not sure yourmajezty is right is his assessment of the middle distance soldiery. They could be genuine, but the explosion fake and superimposed. Or the explosion might be genuine; but it doesn't begin to look nuclear.
