NH #430: Nuclear Hollywood Exposed! Secret Government Film Studio Lookout Mountain Uncovered in New Book - Kevin Hamilton, Ned O'Gorman

Nuclear Hollywood exposed in new book, Lookout America! The Secret Hollywood Studio at the Heart of the Cold War, by authors Kevin Hamilton (l) and Ned O’Gorman (r).

This Week’s Featured Interview:

• We talk at length with Kevin Hamilton and Ned O’Gorman, authors of LOOKOUT AMERICA!  The Secret Hollywood Studio at the Heart of the Cold War.   Learn about the U.S. Government’s secret Hollywood studio that not only filmed nuclear above ground blasts and turned them into pro-nuke propaganda, but cranked out other images and films the government used to use to manipulate nuclear consent during the coldest of the Cold War.  It’s a whole new take on understanding how we’ve been deceived into believing what we believe about nukes.

Numnutz of the Week (for Outstanding Nuclear Boneheadedness):

Conk-a-Conca Conga! It’s James Conca pontificating and lying about nuclear in the pages of Forbes, yet again. Still. Forever. (That’s his job!) “It’s OK to if Japan Dumps Radioactive Fukushima Water Into the Ocean” — Really, James? Really?!?!??? Let’s dance a Whack-a-Mole dance with you as the mole, shall we?
