    0800012 - Operation Ivy, Parts 1 and 2 - 1952 - 1:02:30 - Pacific, Color, Sanitized -
    "The island of Elugelab is missing!" President Eisenhower heard this short report on the Mike shot in Operation Ivy from Gordon Dean, Chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission. Mike was the first full-fledged hydrogen bomb to be tested.
    The island where the device was detonated was vaporized. The hole Mike left was big enough to accommodate several pentagon-size buildings and deep enough to hold the Empire State Building. Mike's yield was an incredible 10.4 megatons, signaling the expansion of the nuclear arsenal from fission to fusion, the same process that occurs in the Sun.
    The detonation of the Mike device was the climax of an intense debate over what would be the nation's correct response to the startling news in 1949 that the Soviet Union had detonated a nuclear weapon. Many wanted the U.S. to develop the means to produce and field a large number of fission bombs of varying yields which could be used for tactical purposes. Others believed that the country should institute a crash program like the Manhattan Project to develop a Super weapon based on the idea of forcing together or fusing light atoms with a fissile device to produce enormous amounts of energy.
    After a bitter fight among scientific, government and military officials, the President opted for a crash program to demonstrate the Super bomb, now called a hydrogen or thermonuclear weapon. Many designs were evaluated and rejected until the Mike proposal came along. This concept involved the cooling of hydrogen fuel to a liquid form, near absolute zero, and fusing the hydrogen nuclei into helium using the atomic bomb as a trigger.
    The Mike device was a 22-foot-long, 5-foot-diameter cylinder housing canisters of liquid hydrogen fuel. These canisters were surrounded by the atomic trigger. The Mike shot occurred on October 31, 1952, and as scientists watched from 40 miles away as the mushroom cloud rose into the stratosphere, the second generation of nuclear weapons was born.
    Mike was followed on November 15, 1952, by the King shot, the largest fission device ever tested. It was an implosion bomb, but with an advanced warhead that enabled it to produce 500 kilotons of power.

    My grandfather was on the USS Rendova in this scene. He witnessed both the Mike and King blasts. I have documents from the military outlining exactly how much radiation he was exposed to and everything. It's absolutely incredible to think that at 4:20 when the narrator pans over to the Rendova that my granddad was on that ship....at that exact moment....waiting to see the largest explosion man kind had ever seen.

    40:50 Something not often talked about is the creation of the film strip used to create this move. The chemicals used to make film depend an the expected amount of light that will be used. The light generated by this blast would be changing very fast. So fast that the photographer needed to start the film at exactly the right moment and the chemicals used differ from one frame to the next.
    The problem was, the light levels could not be accurately known before the blast, so they just guessed, which is why the film fades in and out.

      The film has an emulsion. The emulsion has a relative film speed that depends upon the size of the silver halide crystals in the film and sensitizing agents used in the film manufacture. Instrumentation cameras are automatically controlled. There is a range timing system that starts the cameras at a predetermined interval before the event. This is done for the motion picture cameras as the film roll in the camera has a certain weight and inertia and cannot start instantaneously. The camera speed has to be ramped up to its maximum which also determines the frame rate. There are several controls for exposure and that includes the lens F/stop and the exposure interval for each frame (exposure time). Generally, when the exact illumination is not known, many cameras are used with different exposure settings for each camera. There are also other exposure controls that have been invented for recording atomic tests. One example is a dual-pane camera window. The space between the panes of glass has a specific type of metal wire grid and the internal space is also under a vacuum. When the bomb goes off, the light causes heat in the wires and they evaporate creating a vapor deposition neutral density filter proportionate to the light intensity.

      @Thane Mac
      Fundamental energy of the universe? How can you explain that statement?
      And while your at it - what fundamental explanation do you have as to how this fundamental 'energy came into being?
      We all know that energy has to come from some source. Man can produce no energy unless he uses his intelligence with materials present that have been somehow provided for him by what or whom?
      Where did that intelligence come from? Intelligence does not come from some explosion. Intelligence is a very very complex functional ability, capacity. It can produce chaos or order depending on the motivation and ideals within that intelligence.
      I use the phrase devolution as I did in part for the follo wing reasons:
      The Evolutionary idea is that mankind is improving, going upwards to ever increasing and better levels of conduct and behaviour and knowledge and wisdom, and understanding, more and more light and truth and ..... etc etc.
      Man's knowledge base is exploding on a multitude of levels. No question about that!!
      The prophet Daniel was told by Michael the archangel that Many shall run to and from (travel with increasing speed), and knowledge shall be increased (exponentially) - Daniel 12:4. These events are happening before our eyes at increasing regularity and intensity.
      But knowledge without self control, knowledge without justice and mercy and compassion, knowledge of "stuff" without humilty before God who gives us breath and all good and right things to enjoy, leads to pride, selfishness, madness, destruction and chaos.
      The idea of a 50 megaton explosion from a detonated bomb, may be clever - may be powerful (all that) but that does not make it good or morally right, or helpful.
      Of course the Evolutionary idea makes no room for absolute moral standards. Because the process of "evolution" is said to be ongoing, as are the values of society based on that idea.
      Evolutionary ideas allow for the termination of children - people, in the womb if it doesn't fit the indivdual agenda.
      Evolutionary ideas allow for mimicry of the sexual behaviour of animals by mankind - seeing we have 'evolved' from the animal creature. "It isn't wrong, IT'S JUST 'DIFFERENT" - ....because there are no fixed and unchangeable values in the evolutionary model.
      Evolutionary ideas allow for mass genocide of people groups, ethnic groups. And this is all supposed to be quite acceptable and reasonable, and ANYTHING THAT CONTRADICTS THAT EVOLUTIONARY MODEL IS CONSIDERED DISCRIMINATORY AND AN OFFENCE TO SOCIETY AND MUST BE SILENCED.
      There is nothing good from the detonation of a bomb that can produce 50 megatons of explosive power.
      It only shows that man is not ascending to higher levels of wisdom and justice and compassion and mercy, and humilty, and common decency.
      He is spiralling down.
      Yes, it is fascinating to watch from the safety of one's PC or phone long after the event.
      But it doesn't help solve a marriage on the brink of busting up. Or help the innocent little children who are ripped out of their parent's arms - one or both, and thrown on the streets or into orphanages, or some othe renvironment.
      It doesn't give hope for those contemplating suicied.
      It doesn't deal with personal guilt and shame after someone has just committed some grievous crime - like pedeophilia, or murder, or even guilt brough on for those 'little' misdemeanors.

      It doesn't help feed the hungry or clothe the naked, or give lasting peace to the troubled mind.
      Yes, such an explosion is powerful and stunning and whatever else, but it does not produce order - only chaos.
      But apparently , so the story goes, some great unexplanable, unimaginable BIG Bang - EXPLOSION of unimaginable power some unimaginable billions of years ago produced order, intelligence, and hope and love and kindness and mercy to say nothing of the EXTREME complexities in the structure and operation of the very brains, eyes, lungs, hands, blood flowing through the bodies (etc, etc) of those who make such destructive devices. THAT is some miracle.
      Order out of chaos just happend without intellignce? No. Evolutionary progress? No.
      Society influenced by evolutionary ideas is devolving. And people who follow such ideas are digging a biger and bigger hole for themselves.
      But there is Hope and there is a better Way. There is an absolute Truth. There is a better and satisfying Life.
      His name is JESUS.

    CHAPTER SIXTEEN
    I will give you two visions and let you interpret them. Anyone would be pretty blind that could not see the handwriting on the wall, and who it was that sold us out to the Reds.
    A VISION FROM THE LORD
    On July 18, 1923, God gave me a vision.
    A very high levee had been built along the Atlantic Coast of the United States. I climbed to the top of the levee, and saw the ocean as a cesspool of filth. I said, "This is foreign element." While on top of the levee, I asked, "Will this wall be able to hold that ocean from flooding the United States?" I tested the levee. It was as tough as buckskin.
    A person appeared beside me, and said, "That levee represents the Constitution of the United States, and our religious freedom. If no one tampers with it, it will hold that ocean of foreign element out."
    As I turned around, I could see the various states in the United States as small acreage’s. Then I saw two men, each leading a party. Those men went to the flagstaff and loosed the rope with which our flag was hoisted. They did not pull the flag down, but slowly it began to move down. I saw those two men go to the City of New York and talk with a man. Then they went to meet him in Savannah, Georgia. He was elected President of the United States. As he took his office, I saw strange things.
    This man was to have more power than any other President. Extra offices were set up in all the capitals of the different states.
    My attention was again drawn to our flag. I said to the man by my side, "Let us go and defend the flag, and keep it from coming to the ground."
    As we came down off the levee and reached the ground, we began to bog down in the mud. I asked, "What does this mean?"
    The man who was with me said, "It is an under-seepage of that cesspool, seeping through our government."
    The going was hard. Finally, there appeared a slimy filth on the ground. We turned, and looked back toward the levee. The man who had become President of the U. S. A. was digging a large tunnel to the levee. I said, "Oh, look! He is tampering with the levee, and will cause that ocean to come in on us!"
    As I tried to get the people to see the hole in the levee, he covered it with a camouflage, and people would not believe my report.
    That man was destroying our Constitution. I saw him go to the White House four times to be President. He dug so nearly through the levee that one big charge of explosive would blow it through. He fixed the explosive, and from it ran a fine wire to the White House. In the center of the levee he put two large doors. He had them so constructed that it took pressure from the ocean side to open them. Then he placed a large, ugly machine near the outside, and covered it so that it was very hard to he seen. When he went into the White House the fourth time, he said, "I will yet set off the explosive." He did, and disappeared. A few years later, when the pressure of the ocean came against it, that big machine started the opening of the camouflaged gates, and the ocean began pouring in on us.
    I then saw those two men come back to their parties, and each had a flag. One was a red flag with a handsickle and a machinist's hammer in it. The other, a black flag, with a bundle of arrows and an axe, bound with a band. These two parties began persecuting the Christians, and put them to death. The ocean and these two parties with strange flags ruined the churches, and killed the Christians. This will come to pass; then shall the end be.
    A REVELATION FROM THE LORD
    In the year of 1931, I was in a meeting in Topeka, Kansas. After preaching one night, I went to where I was rooming with Brother Ira Eisenhower. We sat down in the front room. Brother Eisenhower was tuning in the news on the radio, when I had this vision. It was like looking at a moving picture.
    I saw a very dark cloud come over the Rocky Mountains. As it came, I saw a flash of lightning, and the dust rolled back. The wheat crops were almost ruined. I saw hundreds of cattle and hogs lying dead. I then saw the lightning strike east of the Mississippi River, and floods and disaster followed. The clouds became very large, and moved over Italy, and the lightning struck there. I saw an army from Italy go into Ethiopia.
    Then the great cloud spread over Europe. The lightning struck in Germany, and an army from there started a war which involved most of the country. It went into Czechoslovakia and Poland, then to England, France, Belgium, Holland, Wales, Finland, Russia, Japan, and China. Then the lightning hit our islands of the Pacific, and we went into war as allies with our worst enemy.
    I saw Italy, Germany, Japan, and Finland subdued. I saw the United States giving to Russia, until Russia became the fear and dread of the nations. I saw a Foreign Aid Program set up that made Russia rich and powerful, while we became weaker and poorer. I saw the north part of Korea given to our enemy, Russia. I saw China fall to the Reds, then a battle in South Korea, that our leaders would not permit to be won. I saw another leader rise up in the United States. He did not wholly follow the full plan of the other, neither did he follow the American way. I saw great unrest and a dearth come in the United States.
    People's hearts grew faint as world powers continued to organize. A great darkness covered the earth, Christianity was greatly forsaken, and there was a great falling away. A terrible army came with Russia, to go into Palestine. Meanwhile, things in America were getting worse -- changes in government planning, and becoming more corrupt because of betrayers of our original form of government. (Russia has many foreign agents at work in the U. S. A.)
    Finally, one laboring party rose up against another, one city against another, and the few saints were bitterly persecuted, and many were put to death. Suddenly, a great trumpet was blown. The remaining saints were caught away, and the terrible destruction of God's wrath brought distress in the nations.
    I came out of the vision, and we (Brother Eisenhower and I) went to prayer. We wept, cried and prayed. Finally these words came to me:
    "America has seen her best days. These things will soon come to pass; then the end will be."
