June 8, 1794: Maximilian Robespierre inaugurated the French Revolution’s new state religion, known as the "Cult of the Supreme Being". This day was designated as the first day of national celebration of the Supreme Being. Every locality was ordered to hold a commemorative event.

King Louis: Who must go?
Robespierre: You.
Guillotine chopping sound.
Robespierre: Who goes next?
The Revolution: You.
Guillotine chopping sound.
7 weeks later Robespierre was executed for the execution of more than 17,000 "enemies of the Revolution". Maximilien Robespierre "the Incorruptible" and the deist Cult of the Supreme Being was and is quite the historical controversial character to this day.
However as the great American Author Mark Twain said:
“THERE were two “Reigns of Terror,” if we would but remember it and consider it; the one wrought murder in hot passion, the other in heartless cold blood; the one lasted mere months, the other had lasted a thousand years; the one inflicted death upon ten thousand persons, the other upon a hundred millions; but our shudders are all for the “horrors” of the minor Terror, the momentary Terror, so to speak; whereas, what is the horror of swift death by the axe, compared with lifelong death from hunger, cold, insult, cruelty, and heart-break? What is swift death by lightning compared with death by slow fire at the stake? A city cemetery could contain the coffins filled by that brief Terror which we have all been so diligently taught to shiver at and mourn over; but all France could hardly contain the coffins filled by that older and real Terror—that unspeakably bitter and awful Terror which none of us has been taught to see in its vastness or pity as it deserves.”
― Mark Twain, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court
June 8, 1949: Eric Blair, writing under name George Orwell, publishes Nineteen Eighty-Four in the UK. One of Lee Harvey Oswald's favorite books. Orwell’s futuristic novel depicts a totalitarian tyranny ruled by "Big Brother" and supported by a secret police using mass surveillance. More broadly, Orwell shows how facts are manipulated by governments. Can you imagine such a story becoming reality?! Surely can't ever happen here in my lifetime says me back when I read it in the 80s.

Along with X-Ray Specs and Sea-Monkeys, the Polaris Nuclear Sub was a common ad in comic books of the 60s and 70s. Kids who managed to scrape together $6.98 received a stack of cardboard that could be assembled into something resembling a 7 foot submarine. The sub, which would disintegrate upon contact with water, included a rudimentary periscope and rubber bands to launch toy missiles and torpedoes. I wonder how that "10 Day Free Trial" worked out?

Imagine being given the spark of sentience to be an autonomous moving creation and then being forced into a life of servitude to deliver bags of processed food groceries & junk food to people unable to stop poisoning themselves 24/7 until your last circuit dies.
