the root of the word bikini
 
it comes from the bikini islands in the pacific...100.000+ people live there and it was the location of the US nuclear tests...the bikini island specifically was the first place to get nuked...the USA absolutely shit on their country in the most horrendous possible way...the people of the islands were used as guinea pigs to study the effects of radiation on the human body...they were given radiation laced drinks and were forcefully moved to radiated areas to live by the US government...they are now the most irradiated people on the planet...recently the islanders pleaded with greenpeace to move them to a safer location because the US government would not stop the tests and denied to move them...the rainbow warrior moved them to safety to an uncontaminated island...operation exodus...google it...the islanders ran out of appeal money to get compensation for the utter destruction of their land...google "jelly fish babies marshal islands"...human babies that resemble jelly...thanks USA!...

anyway, the term bikini was coined for the swimsuit because the swimsuit was such a bomb shell at the time and also a symbol of kindness of the USA towards the weak...nice...

great documentary about the destruction the USA brings to the asia pacific region:

The ancient Roman Villa Romana del Casale (286–305 AD) in Sicily contains one of the earliest known illustrations of a bikini

But amazingly, you're right that the name was inspired by the Bikini Islands

You're so full of shit.

Yes, the swimsuit is named for the atoll (which is ironic because they were very modest in their attire), and the US conducted atomic tests there, but not on the people. The atoll is currently uninhabited (with the exception of a small number of caretakers), though marine life appears to be thriving there, now. And, the displaced residents were financially compensated when it became apparent they would not be able to return.

But yeah, whatever, the US is bad. Come back when you have some new material.

pimpmaster9000 06-15-2019 09:34 AM
No they were not compensated...the poor people ran out of money to sue the nuclear bomb droppers...sure the USA gave a few pennies here and there, but the natives who live there are the most radiated people on the planet...the USA literally used them as guinea pigs...watch the documentary...

I see your confusion. The "inhabitants" in the video don't live on Bikini. They live on Rongelap Atoll - roughly 100 miles away.

Quote:
1946: United States Navy evacuates Bikini Atoll Islanders prior to nuclear weapons tests.

March 1, 1954: United States detonates 15-megaton hydrogen bomb (Castle Bravo test) unaware that fallout will reach Rongelap.

March 3, 1954: US evacuates Rongelap inhabitants to Kwajalein Atoll. Islanders have vomiting, diarrhea, skin burns, and some later experience hair loss.

1955-1957: Internally displaced Rongelapese inhabitants repeatedly request permission from the US Government to return to their atoll.

1957: Atomic Energy Commission declares Rongelap safe for re-habitation. US scientists note: "The habitation of these people on the island will afford most valuable ecological radiation data on human beings."[5]

1958: Rates of Rongelap miscarriages and stillbirths twice the rate of unexposed women. [6]

1963: First thyroid tumors begin to appear.

1971: Independent Japanese medical team invited by Rongelap magistrate denied permission[who?]to visit by US citing "visa problems."

1976: Report finds 69% of Rongelap children who were under 10 in 1954 have developed thyroid tumors.[citation needed]

1984: Marshall Islands senator Jeton Anjain requests evacuation assistance from Greenpeace.

1985: Rainbow Warrior makes three trips to evacuate the Rongelap community to Majetto and Ebeye islands in Kwajalein Atoll.

1986: Nuclear test compensation approved,[who?] setting aside a $US150 million trust fund.

1989: United States Department of Energy determines Rongelap safe for habitation.

1994: Independent scientific study[who?]finds that depending on dietary restrictions, 25 to 75% of Rongelap population would exceed the 100 mrem maximum annual exposure limit set.

2000: Marshall Islands government submits Change of Circumstances petition asking for significantly more compensation than the $US150m.

2005: Bush Administration determines it has no legal responsibility to provide additional nuclear test compensation.

2007: The Nuclear Claims Tribunal awards Rongelap more than $1 billion as fair damages for its land damage claim, however, since the $US150m trust fund is almost completely depleted this compensation can never be paid.[clarification needed]

2009: United States government reasserts its position that it has satisfactorily compensated Rongelap victims.

There is no confusion...you nuclear dumped the living shit out of their world...its better to live 100km from chernobyl than where they live...the poor people spent all compensation money on appeals and the USA did a "USA" and fucked them over...the USA used them as human guinea pigs...they got pennies in "compensation"...

In May 1946, fashion designer Jacques Heim from Paris released a two-piece swimsuit design that he named the Atome.[3] Like swimsuits of the era, it covered the wearer's navel, and it failed to attract much attention. Clothing designer Louis Réard introduced his new, smaller design in July.[4] He named the swimsuit after the Bikini Atoll, where the first public test of a nuclear bomb had taken place only four days before. His skimpy design was risque, exposing the wearer's navel and much of her buttocks. No runway model would wear it, so he hired a nude dancer from the Casino de Paris to model it at a review of swimsuit fashions.[5]

Due to its controversial and revealing design, the bikini was accepted very slowly by the public. The swimsuit gained increased exposure and acceptance as film stars like Brigitte Bardot, Raquel Welch, and Ursula Andress wore them and were photographed on public beaches and seen in film. In many countries the design was banned from beaches and other public places.[6]

The minimalist bikini design became common in most Western countries by the mid-1960s as both swimwear and underwear. By the late 20th century it was widely used as sportswear in beach volleyball and bodybuilding. There are a number of modern stylistic variations of the design used for marketing purposes and as industry classifications, including monokini, microkini, tankini, trikini, pubikini, and skirtini. A man's single-piece brief swimsuit may also be called a bikini.[2] Similarly, a variety of men's and women's underwear types are described as bikini underwear.

thanks USA!:thumbsup


The female population of the Marshall Islands have a sixty times greater cervical cancer mortality than a comparable mainland United States population.[62][better source needed] The Islands populations also have a five time greater likelihood of breast or gastrointestinal mortality, and lung cancer mortality is three times higher than the mainland population.[62][better source needed] The male population on the Marshall Islands lung cancer mortality is four times greater than the overall United States rates, and the oral cancer rates are ten times greater

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/bikini

Etymology
From French bikini, named after the place name Bikini, from English Bikini, the name of the atoll where the United States tested nuclear weapons in July 1946; it was reckoned that the bathing suit would cause as much excitement as a nuclear bomb. This name was originally from German Bikini, the colonial name of the atoll as part of German New Guinea, and this was derived from Marshallese Pikinni.

It wasn't too difficult to dig.

yes but the word is also a testament to the cruelty of the USA towards the weak...

you know exactly that I was referring to the USA and you know exactly that you used them as a nuclear dumpster and human guinea pigs...there is not a shred of doubt in your mind that the US gov did this and it is amusing to me that you play dumb...

And you - by which I mean you personally - cannot admit when you're wrong. You misunderstood your own video - not realizing that they were talking about unexpected fallout 100 miles away. We provided for the Bikini islanders, and have tried to provide for the people of Rongelap, too. Despite the risks, they wanted to go home, and we reluctantly have respected that. (They don't have to. Did you know the Marshallese are free to come to the US to live and work without a VISA? And Pell grants are available for them to go to university. Many of the younger generation who come here have no desire to go back - apparently they like Arkansas. https://www.sierraclub.org/sierra/20...ds-marshallese )

People and Events on Rongelap Atoll

On On March 1, 1954, the United States conducted a nuclear test on Bikini Atoll in the northern Marshall Islands code named Bravo that led to widespread fallout contamination over inhabited islands of Rongelap, Ailinginae, and Utrōk Atolls. Prior to Bravo, little consideration was given to the potential health and ecological impacts of fallout contamination beyond the immediate vicinity of the test sites. A total of 64 people living on Rongelap Atoll (including people residing on Ailinginae Atoll at the time of the blast) received significant exposure to "fresh" radioactive fallout and had to be evacuated to Kwajalein Atoll for medical treatment. The Rongelap community spent the next 3 years living on Ejit Island (Majuro Atoll) before returning home to Rongelap in June 1957. However, growing concerns about possible long-term health effects associated with exposure to residual fallout contamination on the island prompted residents to relocate again to a new temporary home on Mejatto Island on Kwajalein Atoll in 1985. The people of Rongelap are still resident on Mejatto today although parts of the community have split off to live on Ebeye Island (Kwajalein Atoll) and Majuro Atoll.

The Rongelap community has always expressed a strong desire to return to their ancestral homeland. Through the Rongelap Resettlement Act, the United States Congress approved and continued a 1996 resettlement agreement between the United States and the Rongelap Atoll Local Government, and extended distribution authority for 10 years to advance resettlement. As a part of the 1996 resettlement agreement, a Phase I resettlement program was initiated in 1998. The United States Department of Energy, the Rongelap Atoll Local Government, and the Republic of the Marshall Islands have since signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU, 1999) outlining shared provisions in support of resettlement. Under this agreement, scientists from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory were tasked with developing individual radiation protection monitoring programs for resettlement workers and to verify the effects of the remedial actions.

Resettlement of Rongelap Atoll

Phase I resettlement of Rongelap Island is nearing completion. Rongelap Island now boasts a host of modern-day facilities including electrical power, a freshwater supply, a modern field station, paved runway, a number of bungalows for accomodating tourists and other visitors to the island, a whole-body counting facility and adjoining health physics laboratory, and a large concrete pier.

The remedial actions adopted under the Rongelap Resettlement Program are based on recommendations provided by scientists from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. The remediation technique being employed is referred to as the combined option and involves replacing contaminated surface soil in the community-village area, where people spend most of their time, with a layer of clean crushed coral fill and adding potassium chloride fertilizer to the surrounding agricultural fields. Limited soil removal and addition of coral fill reduces external exposure to gamma/beta radiation as well as inhalation exposure to radioactive contamination in the air that people breathe. The addition of potassium fertilizer to the agricultural areas competitively blocks cesium-137 uptake into plants, especially into the fruits of the main subsistence crops such as coconuts. It is expected that addition of potassium fertilizer on Rongelap Island will reduce the ingestion dose from cesium-137 to about 30 % of the pretreatment level and, at the same time, help support plant growth and increase the productivity of plants (see related information under Bikini Atoll).

After living in exile for nearly 2 decades, the prospect that the people of Rongelap will soon return to their ancestral homeland is an important milestone in the history of the Marshall Islands Program. Moreover, the Rongelap resettlement program is among the first in which a local government has engaged the United States Department of Energy to develop shared provisions to monitor the return of the population.

Reducing External Exposure

Contaminated soil around the proposed community center on Rongelap Island has been replaced with a layer of clean crushed coral to reduce external exposure to cesium-137 and other sources of penetrating radiation present in the underlying soil. The initial phase of this work was completed in March 2001. A detailed in-situ gamma monitoring survey of the entire community area was conducted in May 2001. Additional in-situ gamma surveys were carried out in 2006 to assess external gamma exposure rates around homesites. The results of these studies clearly show that the combination of limited soil removal and addition of crushed coral fill is very effective in reducing external gamma exposure rates. The clean surface layer of coral also has the added benefit of reducing potential exposures from inhalation and ingestion of plutonium and other long-lived radionuclides present in the soils.
