Some of my FB friends will find this interesting but not surprising. Its a bit overblown given the nature of the site but the underlying story is there... The US has been a world leader in many things, propaganda is just one arena seldom raised in that context... You might wonder why most Americans, after Hiroshima, accepted the new nuclear dangers so readily, even as atomic bombs led to hydrogen bombs and the world’s stockpile of warheads mounted on intercontinental ballistic missiles expanded from mere dozens to thousands. An important factor was the active suppression of vital information about radiation effects and other nuclear dangers by the Pentagon and other U.S. agencies. This cover-up extended even to Hollywood. This is a cautionary tale, one that has been buried for decades, on the official censorship—by the Truman White House—of a major Hollywood film on the bombing of Hiroshima. And the tale goes beyond censorship: it involves the outright falsification of major historical facts. - See more at: whowhatwhy/2014/03/09/bombing-hiroshima-got-hollywood-makeover/#sthash.5g5fMYiC.dpuf whowhatwhy/2014/03/09/bombing-hiroshima-got-hollywood-makeover/
