Atomic Cover-up Arrives from PBS
Reprinted with permission from Greg Mitchell’s newsletter Oppenheimer: From Hiroshima to Hollywood.
I revealed that this was in the works awhile back, but now happy to report that my recent award-winning film “Atomic Cover-up” has just been launched by PBS via their national main web site (PBS.org) and all of their apps for phones, Apple TV etc. It will also begin appearing over PBS stations this weekend, in different areas on different nights. This is the “short” version of the film (27 minutes) which focuses on the American side of the story, but you can also find the 52-minute feature, see below. The companion book of the same name is still available, of course, as a paperback and e-book.
Watch the film via PBS site link above or here:
This means that in my late-career switch to film, all three of my docs have come to PBS since 2022, the other two being “The First Attack Ads: Hollywood vs. Upton Sinclair” and “The Memorial Day Massacre.”
‘Collateral Damage’ Is a Confession, Not an Excuse
“Civilians are not collateral damage,” the World Health Organization’s Regional Office for the Eastern Mediterranean tweeted (or whatever it’s called now on X, formerly Twitter) on October 27. “Patients are not collateral damage. Health staff & health facilities are not collateral damage. Children, women & men sheltering in health facilities are not collateral damage. International Humanitarian Law must be respected.”
WHO is obviously referring to events in Gaza. Unfortunately, the statement goes both too far and not far enough.

Hold Your Wallets! New Speaker’s Ukraine Aid Views ‘Evolving!’
From today’s Ron Paul Liberty Report:
Here they go again! New US Speaker of the House Mike Johnson was chosen to replace a Speaker McCarthy over McCarthy’s determination to continue dumping billions into Ukraine. Not one week into his Speakership, however, Johnson’s views have “evolved” and now he favors more money to Ukraine… and a war in the Middle East!

Israel, America, and Going ‘Massive’
Reprinted from Bracing Views with the author’s permission.
In the immediate aftermath of the 9/11 attacks on America in 2001, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld knew exactly what to do: “go massive.” Al Qaeda’s “shock and awe” attacks were an opportunity for the Bush/Cheney administration not only to strike against “terror” but against Saddam Hussein and Iraq, possibly even Iran, even though those countries had no role in 9/11. Here’s how Rumsfeld put it:
“Hard to get good case [against Iraq]. Need to move swiftly. Near term target needs – go massive – sweep it all up, things related and not.”
‘Never Again for Anyone’: Jewish Protesters Demanding Gaza Ceasefire Arrested in Grand Central Station
As Israel intensified a war that’s already killed more than 7,300 Palestinians and displaced a majority of Gaza’s residents, hundreds of Jewish American protesters and allies were arrested after taking over New York’s Grand Central Station Friday evening for a sit-in demanding an immediate ceasefire.
Chanting slogans including “no more weapons, no more war, ceasefire’s what we’re fighting for” and “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” human rights defenders took over the station’s Grand Concourse, while others hung banners reading “Never Again for Anyone” and “Palestinians Should Be Free” from the stairway to the East Balcony.
