Review: Superb, But Very, Very Long - This superb book on Oppenheimer can be recommended for all, but with a significant caveat. First, it is very, very long—the equivalent of approximately three volumes. I bought it about a year ago and read it in fits and starts, because it is a slow read. It is not a dull read, but rather a dense read. It examines RO’s life in endless detail, on pages dense with text. The focus is squarely on RO’s life, not exclusively on his science, in part because of the complexity of that life, including his many political entanglements. His (self-described) fellow-traveler activities, particularly in his early life, up until the loss of his security clearance (but continuation as Director of the Institute for Advanced Study) are an important part of his life, and thus they occupy a great deal of the text. For those who are principally interested in the Manhattan Project and the development of nuclear weapons this may prove to be distracting. This is a full biography, not a selective one. The research is deep and extensive, the writing very workmanlike, the illustrations very helpful, but remember—in for a dime, in for a dollar. When you pick up this book you are making a significant commitment. I faced the challenge by reading it when I was between shorter books.
Review: Compelling Reading: An Important Conversation of Our Values as a Society - The phrase, "The Story of Our Time" is emphasized within the title of one main bonus feature included with the purchase of Christopher Nolan's film, "Oppenheimer". I wish to declare that a dramatization of the life of J. Robert Oppenheimer in and of itself, is not equivalent to "The [Entire] Story of Our Time," however - due to manifold complications veiled within higher dimensionality not currently understood by the majority of the global population. "The [Elaborate] Story of Our Time", involves the existence of one sub-Rosa transnational Fourth Reich Deep National Security State Illegal Secret Government, of which has been disclosed by numerous individuals. I believe it is prudent to express how each one of us, as sentient manifestations in consciousness, plays an imperative role within establishing a collective framework of what people recognize and / or experience, as reality. The following statements are attributed to the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS) and the International Consciousness Research Laboratories (ICRL): "Inspired by a profound experience of personal discovery, Apollo 14 astronaut Dr. Edgar Mitchell created IONS in 1973 to explore the interplay between scientific knowledge and inner knowing. Today, IONS has the world’s largest team of multidisciplinary scientists conducting research on frontier topics in consciousness and its impact in our lives." "The International Consciousness Research Laboratories (ICRL) is a consortium of individuals from all walks of life, united within a shared passion: understanding consciousness for a better tomorrow." STAR, LLC has implemented various copyrighted research, including a comprehensive explanation of reality, within their 8-slide presentation, "Cosmos: The Holographic Conscious Universe". Author Paola Leopizzi Harris first released the relevant publication, "Trinity – The Best-Kept Secret: Meticulous Research Reveals How 'Alien' Technology Has Been Concealed" with coauthor Jacques F. Vallée in 2021, the title of which correlates with the founding atomic weapon test, in the Tularosa Basin of White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico on July 16, 1945. J. Robert Oppenheimer's attributed citation of the phrase, "Now I am become Death, The Destroyer of Worlds." from the Bhagavad Gita in 1945, is critical. Earth has experienced steadily increased interest from enlightened extraterrestrial civilizations since the time of the Trinity test, due to the destructive nature nuclear weapons invoke upon higher dimensionality within a veiled construct of quantum physics – the reality of which has been withheld by rogue operatives within a transnational Military Industrial Complex, intent on maintaining an archaic petrodollar-based geopolitical structure, that has brought our civilization and planet towards the brink of biosphere collapse within unnecessary climate and energy crises and various other atrocities. For this reason, authentic Extraterrestrial Vehicles (ETVs) have shown interest at times around incorporated nuclear weapons facilities; yet in no way, do these visitors pose as "threat(s)"! It is therefore important to learn to recognize the need to incorporate acute discernment, in our naivety… we cannot necessarily trust corporate mainstream media outlets, because of Intelligence Community infiltration. In truth, a psychological warfare program was unleashed in the late 1940s / early 1950s, based upon the corrupt desires of the Military Industrial Complex, against enlightened extraterrestrial civilizations; this is why almost all "national security" interests / corporate mainstream media representations of extraterrestrials have and continue to condition homo sapiens (humanity, who share 98.8% of DNA with chimpanzees, who are known to form groups in warring against one another), to "fear the unknown" / all things "alien" within what is referred to as, deceptive Indication & Warning(s) {I & W [False Flag (Military terminology)]} scenarios. Transcendental meditation, as utilized within various pursuits including but not limited to prayer, utilizes higher capacities of the sentient mind, which have historically been miscategorized as the stuff of science fiction, or that of which may merely be available to a few gifted "psychics". Please witness the following, eluding to the reality of quantum physics: "When a thought of war comes, oppose it by a stronger thought of peace. A thought of hatred must be destroyed by a more powerful thought of love… If you desire with all your heart, friendship with every race on earth, your thought, spiritual and positive, will spread; it will become the desire of others, growing stronger and stronger, until it reaches the minds of all men…" Excerpted from the compilation "Paris Talks"; "The Pitiful Causes of War, and the Duty of Everyone to Strive for Peace" – 'Abdu'l-Bahá, October 21st, 1911 Additional resources include but are not limited to the following: Secrets of Power, Volume I - The Individual Empowerment vs. The Societal Panorama of Power and Depowerment, by Ingo Swann Secrets of Power, Volume II - The Vitalizing of Individual Powers, by Ingo Swann Phenomena - The Secret History of the U.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Interesting, but long
*by J***N on December 26, 2025*

Was good read to learn more about Oppenheimer & was well researched, but the post war years & Congressional story went on way too long/needed some serious editing down at that point.
