How the US Government Kept Oak Ridge a Secret

(YouTube link)

Oak Ridge, Tennessee, was founded as a secret nuclear research facility for the Manhattan Project. My mother's family lived in East Tennessee already, and my grandfather got a job as a day laborer in Oak Ridge. He didn't ask questions, because people who asked a lot of questions didn't last long there. -via Digg

If you're interested in the history of Oak Ridge, you might want to read the story of John Hendrix, a mystic from East Tennessee who died in 1915. The story is not quite as believable as the video above, but it is interesting.              


My first boss worked at Oak Ridge. He never said much about it just basically mentioned he worked there in passing. We worked in a research lab and so I figured it was a research facility of some sort where he worked as a young man.

My father invented nerve gas during the 50s. He and his co-workers continued together on other projects. They talked about it freely during the 60's. Not much to say after it was all over.

I had a chemistry professor who was in charge of judging the purity of Uranium isotopes after the centrifuges of Oak Ridge. He described in detail how it was done.

A brilliant chemist one told me at a ACS meeting how he invented a jet fuel that allowed planes to fly at 70,000+. I now know the source of "Chem Trails."

My experience is that such information is freely available. Not many people will understand and appreciate. These are just few cases where I could. How many more did I miss?
