Excerpt:

Today, every inhabitant of this planet must contemplate the day when this planet may no longer be habitable. Every man, woman and child lives under a nuclear sword of Damocles, hanging by the slenderest of threads, capable of being cut at any moment by accident or miscalculation or by madness. The weapons of war must be abolished before they abolish us.

But to halt the spread of these terrible weapons, to halt the contamination of the air, to halt the spiraling nuclear arms race, we remain ready to seek new avenues of agreement, our new Disarmament Program thus includes the following proposals:

    First, signing the test-ban treaty by all nations. This can be done now. Test ban negotiations need not and should not await general disarmament.
    Second, stopping the production of fissionable materials for use in weapons, and preventing their transfer to any nation now lacking in nuclear weapons.
    Third, prohibiting the transfer of control over nuclear weapons to states that do not own them.
    Fourth, keeping nuclear weapons from seeding new battlegrounds in outer space.
    Fifth, gradually destroying existing nuclear weapons and converting their materials to peaceful uses; and
    Finally, halting the unlimited testing and production of strategic nuclear delivery vehicles, and gradually destroying them as well.

13 months later, the Cuban Missile Crisis brought the world to the brink of disaster. And US nuclear bomb tests were detonated for 31 years afterward.

JFK went on to say:

We shall propose further cooperative efforts between all nations in weather prediction and eventually in weather control. We shall propose, finally, a global system of communications satellites linking the whole world in telegraph and telephone and radio and television.

President John F. Kennedy's address before the General Assembly of the United Nations.


Sept 25, 1961: AG Robert Kennedy says "there is no question" that President Kennedy is prepared to use nuclear weapons to maintain the allies' position in Berlin." SecDef McNamara reportedly said the same.




Sept 25, 1961: Damn those Russkies! Fallout Readings Above Normal.




Sept 25, 1961: Bomb-Resistant Armed Forces Institute of Pathology Prepares for Nuclear Attack Duties. "This grim view is shared by Lt Col Vernon S. Oettinger in charge of civil defense emergency plans, who feels "We might well be the only medical facility in the entire Washington area." Standing aloof from the rest of the elegant Walter Reed campus, Building 54 was, to borrow (and maybe misuse) Vincent Scully’s term, a "sacred mountain" inspired by the Soviet threat. Behold, brutalist architectural style.


Building 54 still stands at Walter Reed, a perverse but impressive monument to the challenges of building for a world in which atomic attack seemed possible and yet still survivable.


Sept 25, 1964: TIME magazine "THE NUCLEAR ISSUE"




Safe to say A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE will have a lot of Football action for OCTOBER SURPRISE. The writer almost has a perfect surname in the context of the movie.






In select theaters October 3 in the UK, globally October 10 and on Netflix October 24.



"I hereby declare the games of the Third World War officially open."


Hegseth orders rare, urgent meeting of hundreds of generals, admirals

Probably just restructuring and forced retirements/firings, which must scare the Pentagon more than war. WWIII's already in full swing, with the Venezuelan and Iranian fronts expected to light up before year's end.


Oh, another bear warning...
