October 29, 1929: "Black Tuesday" happened. This was the day the Wall Street Stock Market suffered its most devastating fall. It was followed by the "Great Depression" And the Dust Bowl of the 1930s, which had a huge impact on trade and international upheaval around the world. End of the world times I tell ya. But, somehow we're still here.

October 29, 1956: TIME magazine. Maria Callas, La Divina ("the Divine one") (born Maria Anna Cecilia Sofia Kalogeropoulos; December 2, 1923 – September 16, 1977) mistress to Aristotle Onassis before he married Jackie Kennedy. In 1957, while still married to Giovanni Battista Meneghini, Callas was introduced to Greek shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis at a party given in her honor by Elsa Maxwell, the original party girl.

October 29, 1956: The Suez Crisis aka Second Arab–Israeli War, aka the Tripartite Aggression (in the Arab world) and as the Sinai War, officially begins as Israel invades Egypt's Sinai Peninsula. The Israelis are joined by the Franco-British forces two days later, which attack near the Suez canal zone. The war lasted nine days resulting in a military victory for the Coalition, but a political victory for Egypt as they maintained control of the canal.

October 29, 1969: "Lo" and behold: SkyNet inception.
The 1st computer-to-computer link was established on ARPANET, the precursor to the Internet. The first successful connection on ARPANET was made between SRI (Stanford Research Institute) programmer, Bill Duvall, and UCLA student programmer, Charley Kline.
First ARPANET IMP log: the first message ever sent via the ARPANET, 10:30 pm PST on 29 October 1969 (6:30 UTC on 30 October 1969). This IMP Log excerpt, kept at UCLA, describes setting up a message transmission from the UCLA SDS Sigma 7 Host computer to the SRI SDS 940 Host computer.

The initials "CSK" in the log stand for Charles S. Kline. Charley was the first person to ever login to a remote host via the ARPANET. His supervising professor was Leonard Kleinrock. Here is a video of Kleinrock showing the original IMP LOG: "The First Internet Connection".
Kline typed the command "login," but initially the SDS 940 crashed after he typed two characters. About an hour later, after Duvall adjusted parameters on the machine, Kline tried again and successfully logged in. Hence, the first two characters successfully transmitted over the ARPANET were "lo".

Kleinrock's work and the birth of the internet were also captured in a 2016 Werner Herzog film, “Lo And Behold: Reveries of the Connected World.”
"Ford to City: Drop Dead"
In a speech before the National Press Club on October 29, 1975, President Gerald Ford denies the near-bankrupt New York City a federal bailout, prompting the New York Daily News to run the infamous "Drop Dead" headline the next day. Wild West days in NYC...
The Pentagon doesn't appear to employ graphic artists, but it still tries. On October 29, 2020, U.S. Cyber Command’s Cyber National Mission Force—a DoD team that “ensures commanders can maintain the freedom to operate in the cyber domain”— tweeted a meme of a Soviet bear dropping a Halloween candy bucket full of malware. Candy labeled with words like “X-Agent,” “XTunnel,” and “ComRat” flew from the poor bear's candy basket. Thanks to a Freedom of Information Act Request filed by Runa Sandvik, a senior advisor for Norway’s Armed Force Cyber Defense, we have a 23 page report detailing Cyber Command’s creation of the image.

The FBI posted what appears to be part of its file (mostly from its Los Angeles field office) on actor Donald Sutherland. The most interesting memo addresses an entrapment case set up by LAPD agent provocateur James Jarrett, who planted weapons on Sutherland's then-wife Shirley and activist Donald Freed. One of the frightened babies referenced here would have been actor Kiefer Sutherland.

FBI File: Donald Sutherland Part 01
The FBI surveillance led directly to Sutherland being placed on an NSA watch list during the production of the surveillance thriller Klute:
In early 1971 while Donald Sutherland was wrapping up filming on Klute, a movie about surveillance, he was likely being spied on by the NSA, which had added him to its Watch List at the request of the FBI.

The earliest hell house may have been created by Trinity Assembly of God in Dallas Texas. It was popularized by Rev. Jerry Falwell in the late 1970's. The concept was picked up in 1992 by Keenan Roberts. His first Hell House was in Roswell, NM. Since then, he has become a pastor of the Abundant Life Church in Arvada, Colorado. He sells "Hell House Outreach" kits to other churches. Included is a 263 page manual which covers "everything from media publicity to casting and costume."
The first known hell house was set up in Lynchburg, Virginia, beginning production in 1972, and was called the "ScareMare".

From 1995, the concept was promoted and adapted by Keenan Roberts, originally of Roswell, New Mexico, who started a Hell house in Arvada, Colorado. Since that time, Hell houses have become a regular fixture of the Halloween season in parts of the United States. Roberts remained active in the Hell house ministry by providing kits and directions to enable churches to perform their own attractions. As of 2023, a package of hell house scripts and scenes was being sold for $479.
