The Path not Taken : Pax Penicillia ,1945

How different our world would have turned out to be if the selfless and open morality of the Manhattan Yellowmagic project had been the path 1945 America had continued down.

Instead it chose to turn to the selfish secrecy of the Manhattan Yellowcake project as its reigning ethos.

Japanese human germ warfare experimentation , too, becomes 'Born Secret' in the Yellowcake Pax Americana

In 1945, two possible approaches to implementing the Pax Americana lay before America : the selfish secrecy of the Manhattan Yellowcake project or the selfless openness of the Manhattan Yellowmagic project.

An early test of 1945's Pax Americana was how American's scientific establishment would handle news of Japan's truly horrific germ warfare efforts from its UNIT 731.

FDR's 'Freedom of Thought', it turns out , is "BORN SECRET" : Pax Yellowcake, 1946

From early 1941 to early 1946 is only five years but that was long enough to kill FDR's "Freedom of Thought" stone dead.

The McMahon Act said that whole classes of thoughts, even if they are thought uniquely by one person inside their head - or assembled from various information already in the public domain - are born secret and to be known only by the government.

1984's Thought Crimes had arrived in America , not in Orwell's Britain , and arrived 38 years early !

This is what happens when Pax Americana is built around the deluded groupthink (Pax Yellowcake) that the atom bomb was ever an intellectual secret and could ever remain so.
