1954 - The United States exploded a nuclear weapon on Bikini Atoll. People lived there until 1946 when the US military told them they had to leave, as their home was "chosen" to be nuked. SMH

    It was a thermonuclear hydrogen bomb.

    "Castle Bravo was the code name given to the first U.S. test of a so-called dry fuel thermonuclear hydrogen bomb device, detonated on March 1, 1954 at Bikini Atoll, Marshall Islands, by the United States, as the first test of Operation Castle (a longer series of tests of various devices). Fallout from the detonation, intended to be a secret test, poisoned the islanders who inhabited the test site, as well as the crew of "Daigo Fukuryū Maru" ("Lucky Dragon No. 5"), a Japanese fishing boat, and created international concern about atmospheric thermonuclear testing."

      done on purpose to damage human health, magnetosphere being damaged effects pineal gland, they first learned this from geomagnetic storms. Why whales beach themselves.

      On top of that, check out the concrete dome. They destroyed that entire environment so they could test blowing up people.

      How did those people get there?

      Are they not better off living in civilization?

      Bikini is in the middle of nowhere.

      So if somebody came to your house and told you you had to move because you’d be better off living somewhere else (a place that they had chosen for you) you’d be totally OK with that, right?

      Imposed relocation disregards personal preferences and undermines autonomy.

      Yes. That sounds great.

      The US military shipped the natives to a smaller island where they suffered starvation conditions.

      I doubt that.

      Would a government website be credible enough for you? pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

      "The subsequent half-century exodus of the Bikini people included a 2-y stay on Rongerik Atoll, where near starvation resulted, and a 6-mo sojourn on Kwajalein Atoll, where they lived in tents beside a runway used by the U.S. military. In 1948, they were finally relocated to Kili, a small, isolated, 200-acre island owned by the U.S. Trust Territory government. Numerous hardships have been faced there, not the least of which was the loss of skills required for self-sustenance."
