The Manhattan Project Bomb You Haven’t Heard Of

One atomic bomb was detonated in a test explosion. Two more bombs were deployed over Hiroshima and Nagasaki. That left a mysterious fourth bomb in the U.S. nuclear arsenal.

Two atomic bombs nicknamed Little Boy and Fat Man were detonated over Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945, effectively ending World War II. The U.S. had rushed headlong into the development of the bombs, trying to develop the unprecedented nuclear weapons before the Nazis did, and succeeded.

Manhattan Project scientists built at least four bombs—Little Boy, Fat Man. the Gadget, and Thin Man. The first three made it to fruition, and the first two became the only atomic bombs ever deployed in war. Thin Man never saw the light of day.

How to the Atomic Bombs Were Built

There are two different ways to build an atomic bomb. One is gun-type assembly, in which a hollow, sub-critical (less mass than needed to sustain a chain reaction) fissile “bullet” is shot at a solid supercritical (able to sustain a chain reaction) core. The bullet strikes and compresses the core, fission happens, and the bomb explodes. This type of assembly is relatively simple in design, involving one thing being shot at another.

The second type of assembly is a bit more complex. Implosion-type assembly involves a hollow sphere containing an intricate arrangement of high explosives and detonators, surrounding a solid fissile, but not yet supercritical, core. The high explosives are detonated in such a way that the blast wave compresses the core to a supercritical density. This causes fission, which makes the bomb explode.

Thin Man was a gun-type weapon designed to use plutonium as fuel. But scientists found that the reactor-produced plutonium available at the time contained too many impurities, causing a greatly increased spontaneous fission rate—meaning that the fuel would pre-detonate and blow itself apart while trying to attain criticality, rather than after. It would be putting the nuclear cart before the horse. So the bomb was scrapped, and focus turned to Little Boy.

The Third Story: What Really Killed Millions While We Argued About Lab Leaks

An Essay

Section 1: The Perfect Misdirection

There exists a magician's trick so elegant that even those who suspect deception remain trapped within its design. The trick has three parts: show the audience a frightening virus from a Chinese wet market, then reveal it might actually be from a laboratory leak, all while concealing the third truth—there was no virus at all. This was an operation against the world.

The genius of this misdirection lies not in what it reveals but in what it conceals through revelation itself. While the world debates whether spike proteins cause myocarditis or cross the blood-brain barrier, whether they persist for weeks or months, whether they shed from the vaccinated to the unvaccinated, no one asks the fundamental question: what if these proteins were never produced at all? The debate itself becomes the deception, a masterpiece of narrative control that captures believers and skeptics alike in an endless argument about ghosts.

Consider how perfectly this binary trap functions. Those who accept the establishment narrative worry about a naturally occurring virus jumping from bats to humans. Those who question it focus on gain-of-function research and laboratory origins. Both sides accept the fundamental premise—that there is something spreading, something infectious, something to fear. Neither side examines whether the entire foundation might be fabricated, whether the deaths attributed to a virus might have resulted from the response itself, from protocols and treatments that killed while everyone looked elsewhere for an invisible enemy.

The spike protein serves as the perfect phantom menace. Vaccine advocates proclaim these proteins create immunity. Critics warn they cause devastating injuries. Both sides marshal evidence, cite studies, debate mechanisms. Yet as Stefano Scoglio discovered when he demanded direct isolation of spike proteins from vaccinated individuals, no one has ever found them. Every study uses laboratory-created "recombinant" proteins. The entire discourse revolves around something that exists only in computer models and test tubes, never in the bodies of those injected.

This represents perhaps the most sophisticated psychological operation ever conducted. It weaponizes fear bidirectionally—the vaccinated fear the virus, the unvaccinated fear the vaccine's spike proteins. Everyone remains terrified of invisible particles that don't exist while the actual crime proceeds unnoticed: the injection of undeclared elements designed for purposes that have nothing to do with immunity, the murder of patients through ventilators and toxic drug combinations, the transformation of society through manufactured crisis.
