NASA turns 66...
Kurt H. Debus, a former V-2 rocket Nazi scientist who became a NASA director sitting right next to JFK.
“Can you believe they put Nazis like me in charge?”
― Kurt Debus, 1st center director of NASA; later NASA head of the UFO desk! Upon retiring he went back to (West) Germany, became chairman of OTRAG (Orbital Transport and Rockets, Inc.), a rocket company to launch satellites. A small lunar crater on the far side of the Moon to the east-southeast of the crater Ganskiy, past the eastern limb, is named for Debus.
VP Lyndon B. Johnson met with, among others, Wernher von Braun. After that meeting, von Braun wrote a letter saying of a moon landing goal, ’We have a sporting chance. With an all-out crash program I think we could accomplish this objective in 1967-68.’ Johnson quickly reported this judgment to Kennedy, and in effect the die was cast.”
By the way...Patrick Air Force Base mentioned by Debus Management Instruction, is still active and now known as Patrick Space Force Base in Brevard County, Florida.

International Longshoremen's Association union leader Harold Daggett earned $728,000 last year from the ILA, plus $173,000 as President of a local union branch. He drives a Bentley and recently sold his 76-foot yacht, Obsession. I believe the ILA has 14 ports from Maine to Texas.
The International Longshoreman Union was founded in 1892 but by the end of World War II it was a hotbed of organized crime, communist sympathy and corruption.
Lucky Luciano, Capo de Tutti Capi of the Genoese family cut a deal with Naval Intelligence to keep "peace" in the ports during WW II. The ILA was the enforcement mechanism!
In 2008, New York and New Jersey brought in Ronald Goldstock to reform the Waterfront Commission, and he didn’t hold back. He publicly exposed numerous cases of longshoremen earning over $400,000 annually for what was described as minimal, if any, work.
Thanks to an outdated union contract, some fortunate dockworkers were even being paid for an impossible 27 hours of work per day. Ronald Goldstock was Director of the New York State Organized Crime Task Force and Professor of Law at Cornell Law School, is one of the nation's leading authorities and theorists on the subject of organized crime.
Weird how there is no wiki page on Goldstock, but plenty of mentions.
Goldstock found other types of corruption and crime and the Union was in big trouble... or was it?
Enter Harold Dagget.
Daggett, a fourth-generation longshoreman, has a checkered past. In 2004, he was indicted with three others on charges of conspiracy to commit extortion, mail fraud, and wire fraud.
George Barone, a self-confessed mafia enforcer, testified that he orchestrated the rise of Daggett—then an ILA official earning $480,000 a year—to union president in order to serve the interests of the Genovese crime family.
During the trial, one of the defendants mysteriously vanished, only for his body to be discovered weeks later in the trunk of a car parked outside a New Jersey diner. Despite the grim development, Daggett and his co-defendants were all acquitted of the charges.
It wasn't the ILA that was corrupt it was the Waterfront Commission!
Dagget didn't hide, he went on the offensive saying basically, yes the ILA is corrupt but only because the WC is bribing them.
Daggett began issuing a litteny of blistering statements, in which he defended his members’ pay and decried the commission’s “reign of terror”.
Not only did Daggett go on to lead the ILA, he has also forged powerful political ties. In 2018, the ILA persuaded Chris Christie to sign the legislation to abolish the Waterfront Commission three years after he vetoed a similar bill.
Today everyone is sharing an old Waterfront Comission report showing high salaries and corruption. But is it true? Or was it a mafia controlled WC publishing intentionally slanderous information? Maybe it was both that were corrupt?
To learn the answer and find out if the WC or ILA is guilty you'll have to read On the waterfront: the political fight over organised crime at the Port of New York
After Rudy Giuliani & crew took down the mafia racketeering, who took it over?
My late uncle was a natural born very talented and intimidating lawyer. He worked for the Genovese crime family. Had a new Cadillac every 6 months and brought me souvenirs from NY everytime he visited. My 10-15 yr old birthdays were awesome...an envelope stuffed with Benjamins! Which always pissed off my dad to no end. I figured he'd drop off a new car on my 16th birthday, BUT then he went to prison for 10 years. Disavowed by my family, barred from ever mentioning his name, certain family members disappeared and later resurfaced with a new name. For my uncle the high life ended and so did he. Even today his name cannot be mentioned. To avoid the family turmoil and potential of getting sucked into that dark underworld, it was arranged to have my file white-papered thanks to an FBI counter-intel regional director, and thereby I joined the Navy and never looked back. Never get that lucky today unless you're in a certain club of shady friends.
A little trivia nugget from my past life.
Sounds like Joe Biden is on the side of the ILA vice USMX in this strike.
Do we remember Biden in LA telling the container lines he would punch them in the nose?
You have to love this SHIP! Apparently, Daggett and the ILA do not mess around as the USMX site is down! LOL. (Last I checked)

She should of hosted tonight’s vice presidential debate.
September 10th test flights of an F-35C carrying a pair of AGM-158C LRASMs.
Note the blue bands indicate these weapons are inert.
The LRASM (Long Range Anti-Ship Missile) is a stealth air launch anti-ship cruise missile developed for the US Air Force and Navy by DARPA. They are AI-enabled ship-hunting cruise missiles that can cover hundreds of miles under turbofan power while coordinating with one another to identify and distribute high-value targets, and then deliver a 1,000-lb warhead to the most vulnerable part of a moving warship. The warhead is a WDU-42/B HE blast fragmentation penetrator.
Dropping a pair of these things off of an F-35 is cool, but dumping 45 of them at a time out of a C-17 is cooler. It’s done via palletized munitions systems developed by the Air Force Research Lab and Lockheed Martin, called Rapid Dragon.
Gotta be a sign for his near future...
More history bytes, propotainment news & drama from the Rogue happening bunker tomorrow.
As we wait in anticipation of an October genie to pop out.
