Didn’t they already do a movie “Fat Man and Little Boy” about this, with Paul Newman playing Groves?

Yes they did.... Dwight Schultz as Oppenheimer.

“Thanos vs J Robert Oppenheimer. Epic Rap Battles of History”

Numerous books have been written on the Manhattan Project. A comprehensive and interestingly written one is “The Making of the Atomic Bomb” by Richard Rhodes.

If it’s epic, why did they drop it?

Yes, and its was a good movie. This new one is just the usual hollywood rinse and repeat. I suppose they will need to queer it up some.

And then the U.S. Government sought out and grabbed, as many German scientists as they could, that had worked for the Nazis in WWII.

If we didn't get them, the Russkies would have.

I am completely convinced you are correct.

Truth is, Google is all about input of information. That's it. You don't have to visit or use Google for them to have information about them.

That is why it is so big for the Chicoms. They have that "one camera for every two citizens" which is...input. Input of all kinds into their AI driven algorithms.

If you want a bone-chilling example, check out this video by Bill Whittle (who I regard as one of the most eloquent and on-target advocates for conservatism today) check out this video (Link takes you right to the part of the video that discusses Google-but the entire video is really worth the time):

LINK: The Stolen Election, Pt. 2: Hiding Biden Laptop Scandal Reveals More Frightening Social Plan (Video starts at 14 min in to discuss Google)

You don't sound like one of those people who NEED to check it out, but you might see validation in it.

Was Oppenheimer a Soviet Spy? A Roundtable Discussion

Much of the discussion during the meeting focused on a previously unknown Russian document obtained by the Schecters, which raised the question as to whether Robert Oppenheimer, one of the leading scientists of the Manhattan Project that developed the atomic bomb, had been a Soviet spy.

letter by Merkulov to Lavrenti Beria, the head of the Soviet atomic project, 2 October 1944

I doubt Oppenheimer had the cojones to send any useful information to the USSR during WW2. Plus security was very, very, very tight around the A-Bomb project.

After the war was another matter. This is when the USSR/Russians got supreme nuclear bomb information from their American spies such as Julius and Ethel Rosenberg and Klaus Fuchs.

Klaus Fuchs
Dubbed the most important atomic spy in history, Klaus Fuchs was a primary physicist on the Manhattan Project and a lead scientist at Britain’s nuclear facility by 1949. Just weeks after the Soviets exploded their atomic bomb in August 1949, a Venona decryption of a 1944 message revealed that information describing important scientific processes related to construction of the A-bomb had been sent from the United Sates to Moscow. FBI agents identified Klaus Fuchs as the author.

The spies who gave the USSR our atomic bomb secrets, due to their communist leanings, is fascinating. I am going to read up on this tonight.

It is interesting how these very smart/ highly edumumacted people had such great sympathies with communist USSR. Enough to give them our atomic bomb secrets, without being paid or being paid minimally. But then look what we have today, with the highly educated voting Democrat. They believe, have faith in, global warming, Cov19 vaccinations, global warming. The Russia hoax with Trump too.

By William J. Broad
Jan. 27, 2020

Last fall, a pair of historians revealed that yet another Soviet spy, code named Godsend, had infiltrated the Los Alamos laboratory where the world’s first atom bomb was built. But they were unable to discern the secrets he gave Moscow or the nature of his work.

However, the lab recently declassified and released documents detailing the spy’s highly specialized employment and likely atomic thefts, potentially recasting a mundane espionage case as one of history’s most damaging.

It turns out that the spy, whose real name was Oscar Seborer, had an intimate understanding of the bomb’s inner workings. His knowledge most likely surpassed that of the three previously known Soviet spies at Los Alamos, and played a crucial role in Moscow’s ability to quickly replicate the complex device. In 1949, four years after the Americans tested the bomb, the Soviets detonated a knockoff, abruptly ending Washington’s monopoly on nuclear weapons.

“It’s fascinating,” Harvey Klehr, an author of the original paper, said in an interview. “We had no idea he was that important.”

The documents from Los Alamos show that Mr. Seborer helped devise the bomb’s explosive trigger — in particular, the firing circuits for its detonators. The successful development of the daunting technology let Los Alamos significantly reduce the amount of costly fuel needed for atomic bombs and began a long trend of weapon miniaturization. The technology dominated the nuclear age, especially the design of small, lightweight missile warheads of enormous power.

Mr. Seborer’s inner knowledge stands in contrast to the known espionage. The first Los Alamos spy gave the Soviets a bomb overview. So did the second and third.

Yup—This movie is part of the Cabal’s attempt to change history.

Oppenheimer’s security clearance was revoked for good reason.

The usual suspects are out there trying to deny reality:

“McCarthy was right.”

Ann Coulter has been saying this for years about Tail Gunner Joe.
_________

A B-29 tail gunner was dangerous for several reasons. First and foremost, the position involved operating the defensive weapons systems on the tail end of the aircraft, which meant that the gunner was often targeted by enemy fighters.
Why was a B-29 Tail Gunner a dangerous job?
