"Arizona, noon, on the 7th of June, When they highballed over the pass, Bulldog Mack with a can on back, And a Jaguar haulin’ ass." Truck driver "Rubber Duck" was passed by a hottie in a Jaguar, which led to a run in with a state trooper.






Buried in this Congressional record vol. 103, Part 7, page 8559, Friday June 7, 1957 we read:




June 7–10, 1966 — New York City: US Army Releases B.globigii into NY Subway System. The US Army releases Bacillus globigii into the tunnels of the New York City Subway system during peak travel hours as part of a field experiment on the vulnerability of subway passengers in New York City to covert attack with biological agents.

New Jersey Law Will Limit Access to Government Records


D.C. Circuit rules that under FOIA the CIA does not have to release original text of a key Able Archer 83 record that was posted in a State Department history and then deleted from the State Department's website.

CHILDS , Circuit Judge: In 1983, during the Cold War, Leonard H. Perroots, then an Assistant Chief of Staff for Intelligence in the United States Air Forces in Europe, allegedly recommended a course of action to his Commander
in response to an elevated alert status demonstrated by the military forces of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (“Soviet Union”), which helped avert a nuclear crisis.

Subsequently, in January 1989, Lieutenant General Perroots wrote an End of Tour Report Addendum (“Perroots Memo”) to detail the “chain of events” from 1983 to help the U.S. Intelligence Community learn lessons “as relates to our [Indications and Warning] capability and exercise planning.” JA250, JA278.

Approximately thirty-two years later, a non-governmental research institute known as The National Security Archive (“Archive”) submitted a Freedom of Information Act (“FOIA”) request to the Central Intelligence Agency (“CIA”) seeking disclosure of the Perroots Memo. The CIA produced the Memo’s cover letter but did not provide any further substance of the Perroots Memo’s text. Thereafter, the Archive sued the CIA seeking to compel disclosure of the Perroots Memo under FOIA. The district court granted summary judgment in favor of the CIA because the Archive conceded that the response was justified under FOIA Exemptions 1 and 3, 5 U.S.C. §§ 552(b)(1) and (6), and the CIA had not waived its right to claim the exemptions. Nat’l Sec. Archive v. CIA, C/A No. 21-2857, 2022 WL 5062523, at *5 (D.D.C. Oct. 4, 2022). The district court denied the Archive’s motion to amend judgment as well. Nat’l Sec. Archive v. CIA, C/A No. 21-2857, 2022 WL 18493099, at *1 (D.D.C. Nov. 16, 2022). The Archive appeals both decisions. Upon de novo review, we affirm.

The Silver lining is that National Security Archive has preserved the key "Perroots memo" warning of danger of Able Archer 83 and neither CIA nor State can ever put this "historical toothpaste" back in the tube:

U.S. Air Force, Lt. Gen. Leonard H. Perroots, Letter, "End of Tour Report Addendum," January 1989

Some say The Internet is forever but I think that is coming to a close.

Able Archer War Scare “Potentially Disastrous”



Manhattan Project symbol of the Los Alamos laboratory, designed by George T. Beyers...

First trade edition (preceded only by a mimeographed version prepared for the press). Signed on the front free endpaper and on the half title by 25 of those involved in the production and destruction of the first atomic bomb.

We have been able to confirm that at the first 19 of these individuals (and likely the other 6 as well) were part of the 'Project Y' team at Los Alamos. Mounted inside the front cover is a 3x3" printed label with the symbol of the Los Alamos Laboratory, designed by George Beyers, head of security at Los Alamos. This is the symbol for "Project Y", code name for the laboratory that designed and fabricated the first atomic bomb. We can locate only one other mention of this symbol on any related artifact or document.

Ever wonder the depth of the lagoon for "Gilligan's Island"?


Only 4 feet! It was located at CBS Radford Studios in Studio City. Shooting on the "deserted" isle had to pause whenever traffic on the Ventura Fwy got too loud. "If you watch the opening shot of the titles closely, you’ll notice that as the Minnow leaves port in Hawaii, there are several flags flying at half-mast behind it. That’s because this shot was filmed on the day of John F. Kennedy’s assassination."

The Mystery behind why a EA-18G “Growler” Electronic Warfare Aircraft with Electromagnetic Attack Squadron 130 (VAQ-130) also known as the "Zappers" was spotted in May onboard the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN-69) in the Southern Red Sea, with a Helicopter Kill Marking has been solved. A U.S. Navy Official revealed earlier today that during one of the Strike Operations over Yemen, a EA-18G attached to the Eisenhower utilized a AGM-88E Advanced Antiradiation Guided Missile (AARGM) to destroy a Houthi Mi-24/35 “Hind” Attack Helicopter while it was on the ground in Western Yemen.

The Diabolical Apocalyptic Research Projects Agency is preppin for another (novel) manufactured crisis...


DARPA is interested in technology and implementation solutions that would enable an industrial base (defense and commercial) to rapidly (in less than 30 days) address unanticipated crisis needs (greater than 10 times baseline production) with minimal impact to day-to-day operations and rapidly (less than 30 days) return to normal operations at the conclusion of a crisis. Examples of potential crisis demands may include a natural disaster, pandemic, or armed conflict.
