Today's chuckle published May 24, 1965 in the Carlsbad Current of Argus, New Mexico:




Here's a document that a friend found at the Eisenhower Library: Ike's AG, William P. Rogers (1913-2001) points out the issue of compensating shadow government standby officials who won't take office until after the apocalypse.



FRANK STANTON: President of CBS, Inc. from 1946-1971. Chairman of the RAND Corporation from 1961-1967. Instrumental in bringing about the 1960 Kennedy-Nixon televised presidential debate. One of four senior CBS executives present at the pitch session for "Gilligan's Island." (Yes, the 60s tv series) Face-to-Face with Frank Stanton




The assignment:

March 6, 1958

Dear Mr. Stanton:

It is always possible that the United States might need suddenly to mobilize resources for a maximum national effort. Although it is my devout hope that this will never happen, the national interest requires that against that possibility we achieve and maintain a high state of readiness.

I am delighted to know of your willingness to serve as Administrator of the Emergency Communications Agency in the event that a national emergency would compel its formation, and, accordingly, I hereby appoint you such Administrator effective upon activation of the agency. As Administrator, you will, in the performance of your duties, be subject to the direction, control and coordination of the Director of the Office of Emergency Resources, and you will receive such compensation as the President may hereafter specify. Your tenure as Administrator-designate or as Administrator shall be at the pleasure of the President.

In the event of an emergency, as soon as you have assured yourself, by any means at your disposal, that an Emergency Communications Agency has been activated, you shall immediately assume active direction of that agency and its function. This letter will constitute your authority.

I have requested the Director of the Office of Defense Mobilization to communicate with you regarding any planning activities in connection with the creation of and activation of an Emergency Communications Agency.

Until such time as an Emergency Communications Agency may be created, I am certain that you will treat your designation as Administrator as classified information and that you will impress upon any staff you select to assist you that their designations are to be treated similarly as classified information.

You have my deep appreciation of your acceptance of this vitally important assignment.
Sincerely,

Dwight D. Eisenhower


Mr. Frank Stanton
President

The candidates did not disappoint, especially in regards to the secrecy clause. Frank Stanton, the last living member on Eisenhower’s list, only spoke about the emergency plans fifty years later; at the age of ninety-six, in a 2004 telephone interview, Stanton mentioned that were it not for the inquiry, he would have never mentioned the program. He is the only member of the E10 to discuss the emergency agencies publicly. Compared to leaks coming out of many different classified programs over the years, this level of secrecy, for such a duration, is nothing short of exceptional.

Eisenhower’s Shadow Government - Every Appointee received same letter. These men were known as "The Eisenhower Ten" for Continuity of government (COG) aka part of the "Deep State."

Another document from the Eisenhower Presidential Library: Theodore F. Koop (1907-1988), creator and first host of CBS News "Face The Nation", accepting the role of standby censor for the US government.

Dutton was the Assistant to President Kennedy who discovered the existence of the Eisenhower Ten letters and notified McGeorge Bundy. Bundy's Skull & Bones nickname was "Odin" and was the Pentagon's point man for the Manhattan project.



"Went a little bit frantic." HoJo's Watergate lookout Alfred C. Baldwin III (June 23, 1936 – Jan 15, 2020) testified on live television today in 1973. The fun part starts at about the 20 min. 20 sec. mark:

LOL!

I seem to remember Camille Paglia once pointing out in one of her lectures that if a Roman general tripped on a doorstep on the eve of a battle, he'd call it off.

Dr. Paglia has been warning about the decline and corruption of the modern humanities for decades, and she is a serious critic of the postmodern ethos that currently dominates much of academia. Although she is a committed equity feminist, she firmly opposes the victim/oppressor narrative that dominates much of modern American and British feminism. She has been a professor at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, Penn since 1984. Jordan Peterson interviewed her in 2017. Super charged high energy lady, if you can keep up. WoW!
