OPPENHEIMER FILM
Dear Friends, [I spliced
together two letters from Art with a few changes. –D]
As you know, the film “Oppenheimer” opens this
weekend in Fayetteville and elsewhere.
It will be at both local theaters, Razorback and Fiesta Square. It is three hours long. By now, I feel certain it will be well worth
the time. It’s based on a new biographical
book that you might want to read. I am
attaching the recent special edition of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists
with articles covering all aspects of the film.
I hope you can open it—I emailed it to myself and it worked. Since World War Two, BAS has been the top
journal related to nuclear weapons and international arms control. This film is going to make a difference.
Peace – Art Hobson

The new film Oppenheimer will
raise awareness about nuclear war
It’s a major Hollywood
production, but I think it contains little of the traditional hype or
nonsense. It seems to be a serious
effort to portray the problem of nuclear weapons within the context of the
leading nuclear bomb scientist, J. Robert Oppenheimer. It’s three hours long. The director also directed Interstellar (a
scientifically well-informed film about a trip to a black hole) and Dunkirk
(history of the historic British retreat from Europe in 1940). Kenneth Branagh, Matt Damon, and other “big
stars” are in it. Audiences who viewed
the film in advance say it has a transformative effect.

(from Dick) Wikipedia.
Oppenheimer (film) is an upcoming biographical thriller film directed,
written and co-produced by Christopher Nolan about J. Robert Oppenheimer, the
theoretical physicist who helped develop the first nuclear weapons. Based on
the 2005 biography American Prometheus by Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin, the
film stars Cillian Murphy as Oppenheimer, with a supporting ensemble cast
including Emily Blunt, Matt Damon, Robert Downey Jr., and Florence Pugh. Filming began in late February 2022 and
wrapped that May, with cinematographer Hoyte van Hoytema.

“Very Important Ukraine War
Book.”
I finally began reading a
very important book (Operation Z) on Ukraine war by Jaques Baud. In my view,
it’s the best book I know of on the subject, more so than Abelow & Medea
Benjamin. Baud is much more an expert on
the subject with a depth of insider knowledge, and his academically structured
book is overflowing with important references.
Baud is a former member of
Swiss Strategic Intelligence, specialist in Eastern Europe, head of UN peace
operations, was involved in high level Russian military & intel
negotiations after fall of USSR, and was a NATO official involved in Ukraine
after the 2014 coup, and author of multiple books.
And here is a Grayzone
interview with this very knowledgeable expert:

Oliver Stone, Exec.
Producer. Ukraine on Fire. This 2017 film weighs whether the war was
caused by Russian aggression or US interference. From the cover: “’Oliver Stone’s Ukraine on
Fire is Another Big Dent in the Western Maidan Narrative. 2014 ‘s Maidan Massacre triggered a bloody
uprising that ousted president Viktor Yanukovych and painted Russia as the
perpetrator by Western media. But was
it?” [Dick]
Also, listen to this very
important leaked audio recording of top State Department officials plotting the
Ukraine coup in 2014, working with far right Ukrainian figures Arsenyi
Yatsenyuk, Vitali Klitschko, and Oleh Tyahnybok:
