Meme Scholar with Madness (PhD)

[EndtheMadnessNow]

Assistant to the director of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission (AEC; abolished by congress in 1974 and in 1977 became Department of Energy (DOE)), Charter Heslep, author of a maddeningly elusive doomsday draft script, died July 29, 1963.

THE DOOMSDAY SCRIPT

"For several months our staffs have been discussing the possibility of prepositioning at the Classified Location a suitable script for general broadcast immediately in the event of an emergency. We have also inquired as to the feasibility of prepositioning a recorded message which could be broadcast under specific circumstances."
- Excerpt from a government memorandum dated April 22, 1960...



Unfortunately, the attachment with the "prepared...text" that is so prominently called out by the document’s author is nowhere to be found. AFAIK, it's never been found.

The man so notably mentioned in the document as the writer of the sample emergency "text" is a Richmond, Virginia native named Charter Heslep. Heslep, at the time of the memo, was the Chief of the Program Review and Analysis Branch of the Atomic Energy Commission’s Division of International affairs based in Germantown, Maryland. Before the doomsday scribe’s lengthy employment began with the AEC in 1949, he worked in news reporting and editing capacities for the Washington Daily News, NBC, the Mutual Broadcasting System and Congressional News Quarterly. During World War II he served as the chief radio news censor for the U.S. government.



During Heslep’s career with the AEC, he witnessed a number of atomic tests and received the strange souvenir "diplomas" (see below) to prove it. In April 22, 1952 on the edge of Yucca Lake in Nevada he helped execute the world’s first televised atomic detonation. And in 1955 and 1958 he coordinated press coverage for the Atoms for Peace Conferences in Geneva, Switzerland.




Millions of Americans who turned on their televisions on April 22, 1952, expecting to watch their favorite soap operas and game shows instead saw quite a change in programming. Rather than "Search for Tomorrow" or "Strike It Rich", mushroom clouds flickered across black-and-white television screens throughout the country in the first live nationwide broadcast of a nuclear test...the 31 Kt "Charlie" test, airdropped device, was detonated about 3,500 feet over Area 7 of Yucca Flat of Operation Tumbler-Snapper:



Note the vid is about as clear as most of those UFO videos, but at least you get to hear the shockwave bang.

Operation Tumbler-Snapper consisted of 8 nuke tests called "shots".

The tactical maneuver at shot CHARLIE was conducted by the following units:

• 2nd Battalion, 504th Airborne Infantry Regiment, 82nd Airborne Division, Fort Bragg, North Carolina
  
• Company B, 167th Infantry Regiment, 31st Infantry Division, Camp Atterbury, Indiana
  
• Company C, 135th Infantry Regiment, 47th Infantry Division, Fort Rucker, Alabama
  
• Tank Platoon, 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment, Camp Carson, Colorado
  
• Engineer Platoon, 369th Engineer Amphibious Support Regiment, Fort Worden, Washington
  
• Medical Detachment (augmented), Sixth Army, numerous Sixth Army posts.
  

Air Force:
140th Fighter-Bomber Group (Provisional) and elements from 140th Fighter-Bomber Wing, Clovis Air Force Base, New Mexico.

The shot CHARLIE observer program had 535 participants within 4 miles of ground zero and the tactical maneuver consisted of about 1,675 participants comprising of five activities:

• Observation of the shot
  

• Psychological testing
  
• Movement to objective
  
• Inspection of an equipment display
  
• Airborne exercise

July 29, 1955: Arthur S. Flemming advised Eisenhower Chief of Staff Sherman Adams that the Greenbrier ("White Sulphur Springs") West Virginia had been selected as the emergency relocation (COG) site for the U.S. Congress. Construction would not begin until late 1959.



The "General Paul" referenced in the memo is Lt. Gen. Willard Stewart Paul (February 28, 1894 – March 21, 1966) who was with the Office of Civil Defense in 1955.




July 29, 1996, China conducted its 45th and final nuclear weapon test, an underground explosion at the Lop Nor Nuclear Test Base (yield was ~1-5 kt). This was also the last nuclear test by any permanent member of the UN Security Council. Two months later, China signed the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty (CTBT).

Of the 44 States included in Annex 2 required for entry into force of the CTBT, all have signed with the exceptions of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK), India, and Pakistan. Five of the 44 Annex 2 States have signed but not ratified the CTBT; they are China, Egypt, Iran, Israel, and the United States. The United States and China are the only remaining NPT Nuclear Weapon States that have not ratified the CTBT.

Meanwhile, billion$ continue to flow into the nuclear weapons program.


I see Frank Luntz is trending, again. He got so filthy rich off advising Republicans on how to ruin the country that he has done some very peculiar things with his mad money.

Another proof meme that what the Church Committee found in the 70s concerning paid disinfo agents being on staff of major news media is still true.


It is not your job to think, citizens. That is our job!
