April 5th is National Nebraska Day. Named in honor of the Cornhusker State, the Virginia-class pre-dreadnought battleship USS Nebraska (BB-14) had one of the most unusual camouflage schemes ever applied to a U.S. Navy ship.




In simplified figures, for every $100 spent for the U.S. War Program in 1942: $23 went to planes; $21 went to tanks, guns, and ammo; $12 went to transport equipage; $10 went to naval ships; $9 went to factories; $8 went to bases; $5 went to merchant ships; $4 went to food exports; $3 went to pay; $1 went to housing; and $4 went to miscellaneous war expenditures. "The 30 million school children of the nation accounted for approx one and one-half million tons of scrap metal, or about 100 pounds apiece." "In the fall and summer of 1942, cars were being moved out of auto graveyards at the average rate of 450,000 a month." Other salvage drives initiated during 1942 also produced spectacular results. America made scrap a household word and built new stockpiles of rubber, copper, tin, paper, silk and fats... By the end of the summer of 1942, American metal-working manufacturing plants had practically completed the change-over from production of normal peacetime products to production of combat material and the other goods and supplies needed to win this mechanical war." You best get busy Europe if you want to beat Russia. Meh, it's a lost cause.

As of the most recent estimates for 2025, the number of American children (ages 0–17) in the United States is approximately 73.1 million. More than the entire population of the UK. I don't believe we could pull off what those folks & kids did back in 1942. Call it a day and we'd all just die.



The Manhattan Project officially started on August 13, 1942 and in that above linked report there is of course no mention of uranium, plutonium, atomic nor any nuclear facilities. The total cost of the Manhattan Project is often cited as $1.89 billion in 1940s dollars ($23 billion today). For context, the project’s cost represented about 0.4% of the U.S. GDP at the time (GDP was around $223 billion in 1945) and consumed roughly 1–2% of total U.S. military spending during the war, which exceeded $300 billion overall. These funds were appropriated through secret congressional allocations, often buried under vague budget lines to maintain secrecy, with oversight from the War Department under General Leslie Groves.

The origins of MKULTRA can be traced to a memo dated April 5, 1950, when DCI Roscoe Hillenkoetter signed off on Project Bluebird, which evolved into Artichoke and eventually MKULTRA. This DCI would go on to become a big hit among UFO & NICAP fans.

April 4, 1958: Cheryl Crane (14), daughter of actress Lana Turner, stabs to death organized crime figure Johnny Stompanato, her mother's boyfriend, in self-defense; crime later ruled a "justifiable homicide."


There is considerable belief within Hollywood insiders that Lana did the deed and threw her daughter under the bus knowing she would skate. Cheryl at the time of her birth, suffered near-fatal erythroblastosis fetalis due to her mother's Rh-negative blood. Perhaps that is why after EIGHT marriages, Lana only had one child.


First Contact Day and The International Day of Conscience!




Wonder of the Worlds was published in 2005 by Lost Continent Library (Walter Bosley's publishing house), is the first in a trilogy of novels featuring secret agent Harry Houdini facing off against a Martian invasion in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In the first installment, Wonder of the Worlds, Nikola Tesla, Mark Twain and Houdini pursue Martian agents who have stolen a powerful crystal from Tesla at the historically pivotal 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago. Along for the ride aboard Tesla's airship are other historical figures, reporters Lillie West and George Ade, as well as Kolman Czito, Tesla's assistant.

On the journey to the Red Planet, the adventurers are treated to a hidden history of conflict between the Earth and Mars, as well as Tesla's stunning knowledge of geophysics of the two planets. Upon arrival on Mars, the team pursues the crystal deep into the underground civilization ruled by Kel, the mad emperor determined to subjugate Earth with the power of the crystal.

Ha. I'd suggest we know now, and have for a long time.




Trump hands the baton to Macron. I seriously doubt it...



Trust is gained in drops and lost in buckets.

What is taught to senior military leaders at our nation’s War Colleges is that a nation’s power emanates from four areas:

- Strength of diplomacy
- Strength of economy
- Strength of its military
- Strength of truthful public information.

All combined to determine power on the global stage.
