It's no secret that the American military is a fairly messed-up institution.

Despite that sullied reputation, it may come as a shock to many to learn that, in 1966, the American military accidentally dropped four atomic bombs on Spain but managed to minimize the incident to the extent that it's been virtually washed clean from history. A mixture of savvy PR from the US government and patchy reporting from international media means that most of us don't even know it happened.

So here's what happened: on January 17, 1966, a US B52 bomber collided with a refueling aircraft in Spanish airspace. The crash meant that four hydrogen bombs were dropped. Two hit the ground at speed, imploding and releasing plutonium into the soil of the Andalusian town of Palomares. Meanwhile, parachutes were deployed on the other two bombs. One hit the ground without detonating and the other landed in the Mediterranean Sea still intact. It wasn't until late last year that America agreed to clean up the resulting contamination and ship the soil back to the US, where it will probably end up in Nevada.

How did America cover it up?
These events are called "broken arrows." That's the code name when the US government loses or breaks a hydrogen bomb. This guy in John Woo's film Broken Arrow says, "I don't know what's scarier—losing nuclear weapons, or that it's happened so often there's actually a code name for it."

Wow.
The US admit to 32 of these "broken arrows." Eric Schlosser, an investigative journalist, estimates 100 for the 1950s alone, and for the US Air Force alone, claiming that the Navy and Army failed to keep track. The template for US defense in the case of a "broken arrow" is to deny, and if people find out, to minimize. This means they forever belittle the event of Palomares in their reports—"tiny little village," "sleepy." Journalists were using these demeaning, trivializing discourses, too. They were shot right through all the narratives.

Easy, no one gave a fuck, because it wasn't an act of aggression. You don't have to cover up when a black shoots a black. It isn't reported because no one fucking cares.
>>
Why do people in Andalusia not speak about it more today?
People with financial interests in the area—wealthy people, landholders who still have agriculture there—they don't want their migrant farmworkers to know they are harvesting soil that contains plutonium. Nowadays, there's also a tourism industry, and the proprietors of those venues don't want visitors to know that thousands of barrels of hot soil were filled and then shipped away for burial. Actually, not all of it was shipped away—some of it was left there and buried; a literal coverup.

It's just a little nuclear waste spill, no nuking.

They can't even show some pics of mutants or cancer patients because not even the plants and cows care about it.

This thread is evidence that JIDF and others successfully infiltrated this board.

Christ, when was the last time you saw a redpill thread????!!!??? When I started lurking /pol/ a couple of years ago, there always at least ten different redpill threads helping the goyim learn about the Jews, the Synagogue of Satan, Zionism, globalists, White genocide, Frankfurt School, cultural Marxism, communism, etc.

/pol/ has been infiltrated and we're losing...this thread is one more example.

It wasn't covered up, the fuck?

The bombs weren't even nuclear, and no one on ground died. The only deaths were in the airplanes.

Still contaminated the area with plutonium, in fact the contamination's probably worse then if the bombs had gone off properly because none of the fissile material was consumed in the explosion, it all went into the environment. It'd be like setting off a dirty bomb.

They didn't even detonate. How is that "nuking"?
