from Free The Rabbits · host Joel Thomas
42: Jack Parsons: Moonchildren of The Demon Core - The demon core was a sphere of plutonium that was involved in two fatal radiation accidents when scientists tested it as a fissile core of an early atomic bomb. It was manufactured in 1945 by the Manhattan Project, the U.S. nuclear weapon development effort during World War II and was the planned third atomic weapon on Japan before the ultimately surrendered. Join Joel on his quest to understand the machinations of the third nuclear bomb and its possible connections to the occult. He looks at the life of Jack Parsons who was involved with the Manhattan Project which eventually spawned the Demon Core. Joel looks deeper into Parson's connection to Aleister Crowley's Moonchildren and if the Trinity Tests were an attempted to create one in New Mexico. Lastly, Joel looks at the fatalities involved with the criticality of the Demon Core and if there is more than just faulty mishandling of the bomb or of they were trying to use it for something more nefarious.Buy Me A Coffee: DonateWebsite: https://linktr.ee/joelthomasmediaFollow: Instagram | X | FacebookWatch: YouTube | RumbleMusic: YouTube | Spotify | Apple MusicFilms: merkelfilms.comEmail: [email protected] by: merkel.mediaProduced by: @jack_theproducerINTRO MUSICJoel Thomas - Free The RabbitsYouTube | Apple Music | SpotifyOUTRO MUSICJoel Thomas - Plato’s CaveYouTube | Apple | Spotify
