Project PANDORA-BIZARRE – Initial Test Results 20 December 1966 // NSA memo Disclaimer.


“There is no question that penetration of the central nervous system has been achieved, either directly or indirectly into that portion of the brain concerned with the changes in the work functions and the effects observed.”
— ARPA Deputy Director — Memorandum (December 20 1966)

Havana Syndrome — Microwave Weapons : Project PANDORA

I found the NSA memo disclaimer a few years ago buried on a NY Times PDF document server. It's still there, 1-page PDF. I assume a NYT journo was doing a story on Havana Syndrome and filed a FOIA on the NSA.

Atari purchase for Christmas on this day in 1981.


From 1980, the VCS has only four front switches and a capital-letters logotype. The Atari 2600, a video game console released by Atari in 1977. Originally called the Atari Video Computer System, the system was the most popular gaming console of the late '70s and early '80s. This model is the "Woody" unit with woodgrain and 4 front switches that is the most common and iconic of the various 2600 models.

Rick Maurer's port of Taito's Space Invaders, released in 1980, is the first VCS game to have more than one million copies sold—eventually doubling that within a year and totaling more than 6 million cartridges by 1983. It became the killer app to drive console sales. Versions of Atari's own Asteroids and Missile Command arcade games, released in 1981, were also major hits. Each early VCS game is in a 2K ROM. Later games, like Space Invaders, have 4K. The VCS port of Asteroids (1981) is the first game for the system to use 8K via a bank switching technique between two 4K segments.

Saturday morning cartoons got scrapped for Atari + MTV. LOL.
$211 in 1981 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $732 today.
