August 15, 1935: Will Rogers died in a plane crash piloted by aviation pioneer Wiley Post. The last 41 for Freedom boat, USS Will Rogers (SSBN 659), was named in his honor. She was the only submarine named for a comedian and was commissioned on April Fools Day. Benjamin Franklin-class and the last ballistic missile submarine built before Ohio class. That's a no foolin' boomer!




August 15, 1945: VADM Matome Ugaki rejected Hirohito's announcement of surrender and posed for this photo before leading 10 planes on one of the last kamikaze sorties of the war. No ships were hit. 3 planes returned with "engine problems" while the fate of the other 7 is unknown.



After receiving word of Japan's surrender in 1945, Fleet Admiral William Halsey was still wary of kamikaze attacks so he sent this message to Third Fleet...



Ernest Joseph King (23 November 1878 – 25 June 1956) was a fleet admiral in the United States Navy who served as Commander in Chief, United States Fleet (COMINCH) and Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) during World War II. He directed the United States Navy's operations, planning, and administration and was a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and Combined Chiefs of Staff and was the U.S. Navy's second-most senior officer in World War II.

He was intolerant and suspicious of all things British, especially the Royal Navy, but he was almost equally intolerant and suspicious of the American Army. War against Japan was the problem to which he had devoted the study of a lifetime, and he resented the idea of American resources being used for any other purpose than to destroy the Japanese. After the war ended he softened up and didn't badger the British so much.


So the claimed hack of every American's social security number was released on the dark web on April 8th, the same day as the total solar eclipse. Are you kidding me? C'mon man.


Personal Data of 3 Billion People Stolen in Hack, Suit Says

I wonder what BS this will be used to justify... Digital Biometric ID tied to CBDC? "For your Safety" of course.



Oh, looky here... The US Office of Biometric Identity Management plans to "improve facial recognition technology," for minors, by collecting biometric data from immigrant children “down to the infant.”


The US wants to use facial recognition to identify migrant children as they age

I wonder how many minors under 14 as well as all teens the military/DARPA/private Corps. had collected biometric data in Afghanistan. They been beta testing & workin out the bugs for at least 10 years now. Welp, we know what's coming for all Americans, and right soon. Surely, that "database" can never be hacked. Sigh.

As I was slaving away cutting trees & hauling brush, sweating like a race horse in the hot sun, drinking a gallon of gatorade I had sitting on a tree stump, two butterflies landed on it and appeared to be drinking it. I guess this explains it...
