July 7, 1957: a 63-foot Redstone missile is hoisted into position for display in New York's Grand Central Terminal. To this day, there is a hole in the ceiling near a gold-leaf depiction of the constellation of Pisces that marks the spot where cables secured the missile.

July 7, 1965: The 1st episode of the BBC TV series Tomorrow's World was broadcast. It examined new and possible future developments in science and technology. It ran for 38 years until it was cancelled in early 2003 and last episode aired July 16 2003. The Tomorrow's World title was revived in 2017 as an umbrella brand for BBC science programming. The show was created by Glyn Jones to fill a half-hour slot in the 1965 BBC summer schedule. Jones and his wife conceived the show's name the night before the Radio Times went to press.



Here's a clip from Tomorrow's World, originally broadcast December 28, 1966

CBS News: "The bizarre ordeal happened at around 6 a.m. when airport officials say that a man experienced a 'mental health crisis,' while inside of Terminal 4. At some point he 'became irate' and ran out onto the  airfield, which prompted a response from LAPD officers." Mostly peaceful early morning jog.

"Deus vult" = God wills it. Many want to be part of a feel-good crusade, such as saving the planet from scary climate-change. This is especially alluring to the uneducated. Once indoctrinated, and like the religion-driven Crusades, killing others was a necessary means to an end.




"There is a wonderful time coming. But because it begins in the night, there are many that shall not see it, because of their sleep and great drunkenness; yet the sun will shine to the children at midnight."
Jakob Boehme (1575-1624) ‘The Teutonic Theosopher’
