Oppenheimer is part of the cultural zeitgeist at the moment and is receiving a lot of attention from the establishment media hype machine. But what is being left out of Hollywood’s latest piece of historical revisionism? Joining James today is Patrick MacFarlane of VitalDissent.com, whose new documentary, The Truth About Oppenheimer, purports to answer that question.

SHOW NOTES:
Patrick MacFarlane on The Corbett Report
I am thrilled that Corbett featured this.
I want to hear/see Patrick MacFalane’s STORY.
Popcorn and Hot dogs!…with a transcript!
Homie, can you recommend anything for bursitis? A friend is afflicted by this and I have never even heard of that thing.
Bursitis or joint pain
Topical Pain Relief
When I was working at the Sprouts Vitamin Department for over three years and seeing a hundred or more customers daily, I experimented with a lot of customers to see first-hand what works. I had the authority to unwrap products or give complimentary products to customers, with my signed note to the cashier.
Hot Pepper Cream
Here is one occasion: A fella comes in wearing short pants and complaining of his knee pain. I go to the shelf which offered an array of topical joint pain relievers, opened a package and put the cream on his knee. Within minutes he said his pain was attenuating. There were several brands of creams, but they all had a common ingredient:
Capsaicin – Hot Peppers – Cayenne Pepper.
So, basically, a person can get some powdered hot pepper and mix it with a cream or aloe to make a “homemade pain relief” which releases Substance P.

Pablo had a pdf on cayenne pepper. https://www.corbettreport.com/it-begins-canadian-gov-rolls-out-points-to-reward-good-citizens/#comment-41071 The video (since deleted) showed a guy getting kicked hard in the groin repeatedly. He could tolerate it due to Substance P. I refuse to personally test this.
DMSO (Dimethyl Sulfoxide) <–Topical – (S.O.D. & MSM orally)
This is another topical for Bursitis or joint pain. DMSO is actually a solvent, and can be used as such for industrial applications, and it easily penetrates the skin. In the chemistry of it all, DMSO is very closely related to the oral Vitamin supplement S.O.D. SuperOxide Dismutase, which also can help with joints. DMSO is also related to MSM, another oral supplement which might help joint pain.

Comfrey Herb – topical
This mix can help heal bones and joints. Besides now growing it in my garden, I have some bags of it that originated from Croatia.
Castor Oil – topical
Glucosamine
This oral vitamin supplement is often taken for bursitis. Glucosamine is a substance found in cartilage.
Omega 3 fats and a good diet are very important in order to repair joints. Herbs which reduce inflammation (e.g. turmeric, ginger, rosemary) certainly may help. ENZYME THERAPY is often used to clear away trash and reduce inflammation.

My very FIRST suggestion would be a MAGNESIUM supplement, but also Epsom Salt baths might really help. Epsom Salt is made up of magnesium, sulfur, and oxygen.

Thans HRS, I’ll endevor to provide feedback on your suggestions.
I had bursitis (“washer woman’s knee”) from a king-hit to the knee. seems the body wanted equal pay/time value to recover (1 month).
I dont have experience using what hrs recommended but have had good success with arnica based creams and “traumeel” (german made cream, may have steroids, I use it sparingly, 1-2/yr, but works in minutes, as an elder drummer w rsi its saved us when the dragon of inflamation has been roused).
a local lady blends/cooks arnica + lavender + “a few others” over low heat for a month; (“ooh aah” cream made in Maclain NSW), kid’s foot gets run over by car, 5 mins later, her cream had calmed him down. pro masseuses’ here swear by it (but soz cant see any online sales for that, I’m just promoting arnica)
Thanks, rest has been recommended but its been a while and bursitis is not going away.
vadoum,
You are right about Arnica, the homeopathic.
We sold a lot of homeopathic remedies.
Here’s a good brief overview of the many magnesium effects on the body.

“War is a racket. It always has been. It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious…It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives.
A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of the people. Only a small ‘inside’ group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few, at the expense of the very many. Out of war a few people make huge fortunes.”

You are welcome.
ejdoyle,
You make a good point with a lot of good quotes, yet I think Smedley Butler says it best. “War is a Racket” (I think I gave away over 100 copies of his Book).
Anyway, War is a Means whereby the self appointed Oligarchs can control the masses. Traditionally the Oligarchs would send the young and strong to War so that they would not revolt against them. More recently it has been used as a Means of Population Control, and a way of diverting attention away from an evil empires dirty deeds.
When the 13 Colonies in the Americas banded together in 1776 under the DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE to free themselves of the British Empire, they attempted to create a Central Government with very limited powers that could not only be strong enough to fight off outside aggressors, but allow for the existence of a free people.
Perhaps it works for a time, however it should be apparent to most clear thinking adults that the Government centered in D.C. and occupying the White House, does not work for the People. It works for Corporations and Oligarchs using unlimited powers to enslave them.
I see this as a opportunity to see what failed in what Ben Franklin called “An Experiment in self rule”, and create something better. I also believe that the Empire is imploding as a direct result of exposing it’s evil acts. For, if people of Moral character knew what they were being paid to do. they would not do it.
The Manhattan Project was Billed as something good, yet it had to be kept Secret. Hitler had similar Secret Projects as he proposed to make the world a better place.
Similarly, Bill Gates, likely thinks he is making the world a better place, yet with no concept of a one God for All People, these Oligarchs can do no real good. They all seem to fall into the failed philosophy whereby the “Means justifies the Ends”. Doing Evil is rationalized as a Means for the betterment of the collective, and thus compartmentalizing Secret Projects in order to get good people to do bad things (or contribute to it) is a must.
Are you saying Bill is trying to do good? That’s one extremely dangerous word right there, good.
@Truthseeker
Thanks for the reply.
After what I believe to be my 81 years on this planet I am not sure anymore of just what is real history or “facts.” Much of my “knowledge” has been auto didactic prior to the web. Read lots of books and had lots of coffee shop discussions with others, etc.
Now, with the recent cut and paste vocabulary and “truth” of the Internet most people are speaking much the same thoughts and ideas from which ever “tribe” with they have chosen to identify. Just look at the foolishness of the Tic Tok nonsense.
Seems like everyone has an opinion on everything that doesn’t vary much from their other tribe members and the controllers have people naming/labeling everything from generations to social/gender/political groups, etc. that assists in the agenda of separation.
Don’t know if all hope is lost as I do enjoy watching youtube “shorts” with lots of amazing folks out there.
Here are some articles by Bjorn Lomborg, who seems to go against the grain on many things mainstream.
https://nypost.com/author/bjorn-lomborg/
The propaganda is coming hot and heavy right now, as the scam is coming to an end. I have been extremely concerned about the future of Hollywood, not concerned about the communists that run it, but the millions of Americans who work in that industry. Just like Jeffery Epstein, when they no longer need a tool of manipulation/destruction, they close it down. But unlike Jeffery Epstein, who is likely living it up in some secluded resort in Israel or NZ, the closing of Hollywood will be catastrophic for millions.
I remember a few years back seeing a map of the US, it was how America would look in the year 2030, can’t find the map any more on-line, but what was most noteworthy was how much of the West coast was a no-go zone, a UN protected nature sanctuary. Since covid, we have seen the globalists use one trick after another to begin to depopulate California of its native inhabitants.
We see HUGE warehouses being built throughout Arizona and the prediction that AZ’s population will double in the next 17 years, where will all this population come from….
There is also the need to continue the destruction of jobs in America, they have moved out all the manufacturing to China, now they are working to destroy another foundation of Americanism and income source.
What is so sickening is how because of WOKISM, they have successfully made many Americans HATE Hollywood and welcome its destruction. “Go woke go broke”, was the call, and so many rejoiced at Hollywood’s misfortune. But as always Americans fall for the simplest of manipulations. Just like when people boycotted Bud Light because they used a trans in an add. How easily Americans are fooled into helping with their own destruction. I care far more about those Americans working at Bud Light, than the globalist scum who own Bud Light.
I would also mention how ridiculous the claim that Hollywood’s “recent” move towards “wokism” (see: Marxism), is based on a misguided “liberal” ideology. Hollywood, like Washington and all the other levers of control are NEVER stupid, they are evil geniuses, you simply don’t understand their goal. Their goal IS to destroy Hollywood, will all these garbage movies are meant to alienate Hollywood from the American people. Now we see these strikes, does anyone want to wager who runs those unions?
This is another 9/11, just in a different form.
Minimum subsistence wages anyone, welcome to communism in America.

15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.
17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers’ associations. Put the party line in textbooks.
20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policy-making positions.
21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.
22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to “eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms.”
25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.
26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as “normal, natural, healthy.”
35. Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.

IMO what is “so sickening” friend is the lack of ANY organized resistance beyond comment box dialog by those who claim to be “awake.”
No doubt Communism has been in America for a long time, I mean the Lend Lease program would not have happened otherwise(like China, the demons always use America to make the enemies of America).
My point is simply we are seeing the conclusion of the program, I was hoping not to see this come to pass for a few more years, but it looks like they are moving forward to empty out California now.

Obviously not a Nuke used at WTC1, nor at WTC2, nor at WTC7. Nor at the Pentagon.
The physics is a synchronized collapse caused by thermite in combination with explosives. Exactly as normal demolitions.
They seemed to have used 2x the standard amount, sending pieces of fire-fighters
over to the other buildings.
The thermite based demolition has all the evidence necessary.
All the WTC1+2 dust shows the remains of excessive thermite.
So excessive that it corroded buildings and cars around.
I don’t get the obsession to weird theories.
Feel free to explore, but I think it is to hide the real criminals.
Stay tuned.

Can Thermite pulverize concrete?
I can’t help but wonder, a few thousand years ago when they were developing steel weapons, did they use a few unsuspecting subjects to test the lethality of their newest products on?
Ectoshire Wolf
“..subjects to test the lethality of their newest products….”
I read years ago about the legend that the best swords were quenched by shoving them red hot into a prisoner, giving the best quality of blades.
Never tried it though I have made a few knives. 🙂
Interestingly enough even though it sounds like bunk, one old recipe for quenching liquid was pee, specifically from goats fed on certain foods which a chemist said WOULD have increased the nitrogen content and allegedly cooled the blade faster as the crystals form a layer that transfers heat out faster then water (which would have a layer of steam separating the blade and the water. People in ye olde dayes had plenty of time to find the best ways of doing stuff so who knows?
I once got a bit of mild steel to hold a real good edge with home made ‘super quench’ which is basically soapy water. Was a rubbish knife though OTOH it did not need to be tempered.
Yeah, but will it cut through melted butter?
Yes….and then bend like melted butter too…lol.
I feel weird saying this, I think that movie was fair. Apart from the homicide as revenge being papered over & his relationships with women being trivialized, I think Nolan made a decent picture. He began by Oppenheimer justifying the bomb with defeating the nazi’s, then when the Nazi’s surrender, they circle back and he pushes forward with defeating Japan, then they circle back again and show him say the war may have already been over when they dropped it. They also include a line about Power lurks in the shadows as the politicians plot to stab Cesar. They portrayed Truman as the asshole he was, make a line about the most vindictive people have the patience of Saints. Have the shadow casters gotten this good, or did one just slide through?
I saw the Hollywood version of “Oppenheimer” as well, and I thought that it tried to lighten the incident of him trying to poison his instructor. To me, this exposed a great flaw in his character. There was some evil in him at his core, and as he became practiced at the art of deception, he became far more dangerous. Putting him in charge of a Secret program to create a Bomb which would require deceiving very intelligent people, one should expect only evil to come from it. But then. what does the CIA do? It specializes in deception and misinformation, or as a former CIA Director once said, “We (the CIA) will know we are successful when everything the American People believe is a Lie”
Perhaps the CIA had a part in the “Oppenheimer” movie. I think the movie tried to make him look like a good guy.
I agree, they did make him look like a good guy, but that’s not what I find surprising. What I do find surprising is what the shadow casters previously spent many resources hiding, was a part of the picture. To me, It’s either a harbinger or an anomaly.
The falsely dubbed “Father of the Atomic Bomb,” J. Robert Oppenheimer: Incompetent at experimental science, a crackpot, an almost murderer, a violent genocidal psychopath & Communist — what could possibly go wrong by placing dangerous state secrets into the hands of such a miserable Marxist miscreant? https://www.realhistorychan.com/anyt-07-20-2023.html
If one were among the Oligarchs who funded the Nazi’s so that they could take control of Germany and attack Russia thus killing as many of both as possible (similar to what they did when they created the American Civil War), putting a guy like Oppenheimer in charge of making the Bomb makes perfect sense.

Here’s an unpopular opinion:
This is just my conjecture but Patrick MacFarlane saw the machine was making a movie on Oppenheimer and thought it was going to be a Matrix production puff piece on one of their own, so MacFarlane started to make a doc that debunks their propaganda before it was even released (smart), but then when he saw the movie (he says hadn’t but who spends that much time debunking the matrix and then doesn’t watch it) and noticed, shit…this thing doesn’t have many holes. FULLCONJECTURE
This isn’t a rebuttal, it’s virtue signaling
I must of spaced out when Corbett and MacFarlane discussed Tibetan Philosophy
Thank you, James, for this interview without which I would never have heard of this excellent new documentary. Thank you Patrick MacFarlane for referencing Eileen Welsome. I bought her book, “Plutonium Files” as digital download for $10.00 in 2014. I still have it on my Kindle. If you go to the Amazon link for this book today, you will find that there is no possibility of a digital download. However, if you want to buy a real-world copy, you have a choice of paying $116.98 for a hardcover or $110.39 for a paperback.
I think this is a fine example of Corbett Report #384 “The Library of Alexandria is on Fire.” Just make it too expensive for anyone to afford.
I’m going to reply to myself because I disagree with my own comment of 08/06/23. I said that the documentary was “excellent”. I still think that all the facts based on Eileen Welsome’s book were very nicely presented, illustrated and edited. HOWEVER, I can’t find enough evidence for the allegations that Oppenheimer tried (but never succeeded) in killing several people and was therefore a homicidal maniac. Too much time is spent in the documentary on political and psychological attributes that are not sufficiently sourced. I think Patrick MacFarlane would be better off cutting that part out completely unless he can find more than one or two guys telling personal stories that cannot be reliably sourced. That part weakens the documentary.
Politics and psychology aside, everyone involved in the research, development and production of weapons of mass destruction of any and all kinds have a lot to answer for.

@ zyxzevn
“What I found interesting is that the writer of “Hunting Hitler” came
across evidence for a dirty bomb that was used by the Germans on Russians.
(somewhere in the long interview)”
Could you be more specific, for in legal terms I guess this would be called double-removed hearsay evidence.. quoting the writer of Hunting Hitler (Jerome Corsi?) allegedly having found (other`s) evidence?
What exactly is this claimed primary evidence and where can it be checked?
In case you (and Corsi?) are referring to the 2005 research/book by Rainer Karlsch:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hitlers_Bombe
In it he claims 2 test detonations of miniature (100g) Uranium bombs by scientists of the German army.:
1. On 12th of october 1944 on the island of Ruegen and
2. On 4th of march 1945 in the mountains of Thuringia, near the concentration camp of Ohrdruf.
Karlsch concludes/estimates that allegedly in the latter “several hundreds” people were (accidentally) killed during the latter experiment, based on a witness`testimony who claimed to have burned bodies of some of those:
https://codoh.com/library/document/german-nuclear-wunderwaffen-in-1945/en/
Unfortunately nothing is known about either an actual number of killed or who they actually were (inmates or/and German Army/SS personnel) and especially since that particular Camp, Dachau (of which Ohrdruf was a sub-camp), at that time (March 1945) anyway unfortunately was totally ravaged by Typhus and other epidemics and thus had a “natural” death toll of up to hundreds of prisoners daily (exactly 3668 total for the month of march 1945 according to:
Dachau: 1933-45, The Official History; by Paul Berben. London: The Norfolk Press, 1975, Hardcover, 300 pages, ISBN 0-85211-009-X. Page 281), the witness-testimony evidence above is rather weak.
But regardless, personally fascinating I found, even when accepting the usually accepted toll of “several hundreds” of purely inmates due to the “atomic” explosion, is how this particular event/story was presented by the US occupying power after the war, here by Robert H. Jackson, chief prosecutor of the IMT, at the IMT Nuremberg trial 1946:
“A small village was provisionally erected, with temporary structures, and in it approximately 20,000 Jews were put. By means of this newly invented weapon of destruction [atomic bomb], these 20,000 people were eradicated almost
instantaneously, and in such a way that there was no trace left of them..”
So either this case (of 100-fold exaggerated death toll and distorted nature of the inmates and circumstances) is perhaps one the worst phenomenon of “Chinese whispers” in history or really bad faith/black propaganda by “Victors writing history”?
If interested here the general history of accidents during nuclear testing/development:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_military_nuclear_accidents
Thank you for including the link to the Committee on Open Debate on the Holocaust. https://codoh.com/
I agree that open debate is the best way to go–historically, politically, economically and scientifically. I won’t commit myself to judging the website before I read further. That way I won’t have to go back and correct myself later. However, what I have read is very interesting.
May i suggest adding the archive.org Plutonium Files book to the shownotes as it is in folkscanomy miscelaneous collection and you can download the pdf … very good quality too !

Catching up on Corbett here lately.
A few thoughts, observations on Oppenheimer in the media…
First off, I was NOT impressed by the VitalDissent video.
1) soundtrack dominated and killed narrative throughout whole presentation, spooky Halloween theme (a turn off)
2) Oppenheimer’s early misdeeds were not well supported, although I am familiar with them
I would go as far to say that these misdeeds were tangential, but mostly off-topic
3) Oppenheimer’s connections with medical experiments were NOT well supported
I nevertheless applaud the producer’s efforts into investigating this topic.
I was definitely NOT impressed with the Hollywood production.
I could not even finish watching it, it was so BAD.
The focus was ALL about the toppling of Oppie in the McCarthy Era.
OFF TOPIC. OFF FOCUS. MISDIRECT.
An excellent read, however is “Oppenheimer, American Prometheus” by Kai Bird & Martin J. Sherwin
WITH a few provisos, however.
The Good:
1) Years of scholarly research, source docs, cross-referencing to present cohesive picture
2) A glimpse into this era of pre-WWII, WWII and post-WWII
3) A genuine effort to portray Oppenheimer, the man, the polymath, his development, maturation, family life
The BAD:
1) A constant intuitive feeling of things intentionally omitted
2) Funding for this massive (years long) endeavor:
Page 599 : “Author’s Note and Acknowledgements” include:
a) Alfred P. Sloan Foundation
b) Guggenheim Foundation
c) Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars…
I worked for just under 6 years as a volunteer for a major world-accredited museum.
Space Science.
Boy did I learn a thing or two about funding, grants etc.
One of the biggest impacts of such grants is that there are things you can say and things you must NOT say.
The museum volunteer guides are fairly closely monitored for such.
As you might guess, I found myself increasingly on the wrong side of the political bureaucracy running this place.
Not to mention the political infighting amongst academics etc…
I resigned more or less in total disgust.
I would definitely recommend the reading of the book, “Oppenheimer: American Prometheus”
AND be aware of the funding, sourcing this… well: “masterpiece” … It IS quite well written!
So in spite of my criticisms of VitalDissent’s production, I nevertheless applaud the time, effort and work.
One of my biggest beefs is that the title of the work is Oppenheimer.
It should rather be something along the lines of “Medical Experimentation in America’s Manhattan Project Era”
