On this 80th Anniversary of Hiroshima (August 6) and Nagasaki (August 9), let us revisit the evidence as detailed in a recent publication (May 11, 2025) by Dr. Michael Palmer (Author), Dr. Franklin Stahl (Foreword), titled:
Hiroshima Revisited:
The evidence that napalm and mustard gas
helped fake the nuclear bombings1
helped fake the nuclear bombings1
A summary of the book can be found at The Duke Report (Reference Library2), a portion of which reads:
Hiroshima Revisited by Michael Palmer, MD scrutinizes the prevailing narrative of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings by systematically analyzing physical, medical, and historical evidence. Palmer constructs a detailed alternative chronology of events, exposing the mechanisms, motivations, and outcomes that shaped the public understanding of the so-called atomic age.The Duke Report summary concludes with:
Unveiling the Historical Premise
Palmer asserts that the destruction witnessed in Hiroshima on August 6, 1945, and Nagasaki days later, resulted from an operation employing conventional weapons, incendiaries, and chemical agents, rather than nuclear devices. He traces the origins of the atomic narrative to a convergence of wartime secrecy, postwar propaganda, and selective presentation of scientific data. The book launches with a careful assessment of the timeline: the discovery of nuclear fission in 1938, the subsequent development of uranium enrichment technologies, and the ostensible Manhattan Project achievements.
He frames his inquiry by engaging the doubts voiced by early nuclear physicists such as Werner Heisenberg, who found the reported rapid progression from theory to a deployable atomic weapon highly implausible. Palmer investigates the pace of scientific progress within the Manhattan Project, referencing documented trial-and-error experiments, late-stage uncertainties in bomb design, and the technical obstacles to achieving bomb-grade uranium enrichment by 1945.
Enduring Impact and Call to InquiryFor anyone wishing to re-examine narratives and foundational stories, you will find The Duke Report3 and his Reference Library4 an unmatched resource.
Palmer concludes by challenging readers to approach historical narratives with skepticism and analytical rigor. He advocates for transparency, open debate, and the restoration of empirical inquiry in the assessment of major world events. He calls attention to the risks inherent in the uncritical acceptance of official stories and underscores the need for independent verification in science and history alike.
He presents Hiroshima Revisited as a catalyst for re-examining foundational stories of the modern era. The book stands as a detailed case study in the interplay of evidence, authority, and belief—a structural invitation to re-evaluate the history and meaning of the atomic age.
