Review: The Country Girls of Atomic City


August 6, '66: Lucy/Luci Baines Johnson (same initials lol) born 6 days prior to the Roswell event got married on the 21st anniversary of Hiroshima, which caused quite a stir as the wedding was broadcast live on TV.


In April 2010, Johnson was diagnosed with Guillain–Barré syndrome. AFAIK, she is still alive.


August 6, 1969: the Senate approved the controversial Safeguard U.S. Army anti-ballistic missile (ABM) system designed to protect the U.S. Air Force's Minuteman ICBM silos from attack, thus preserving the US's nuclear deterrent fleet. Passed only with the tie-breaking vote of Vice President Spiro Agnew. When it was finally built, only the Grand Forks AFB site became operational, and then only for less than four months (October 1975-January 1976). Another colossal waste of taxpayer dollars. Good 'ole swamp creature Spiro.



Behold, the broken Pyramid of North Dakota:  (48.590623, -98.357114)

The USA's only operational ABM (anti-ballistic missile) site, built within the constraints of the ABM Treaty with the USSR, and operational very briefly in 1975. This central complex includes launch silos for 30 Spartan missiles, 16 Sprint missiles, and a Missile Site Radar (MSR). Five remote sites include four other Sprint missile fields, 10-20 miles away, with a combined total of approximately 54 Sprint missiles, plus one Perimeter Acquisition Radar (PAR) site, 25 miles away. $6 billion dollars to build the complex and after just less than one day at full operational service, the Dr. Strangelove complex was shut down after a vote by the US House of Representatives. They deemed the facility to be ineffective; there was also concern that, because of its location, fallout from destroying missiles in that area could have unintended consequences. Funny, not funny.

Makes ya wonder what pyramids or cloaked deathstar they have up in Space, where we can't see.?

In 2012 it was auctioned off for $530,000 to the Hutterite Colony of Forbes, North Dakota. Hutterites aka Hutterian Brethren (German: Hutterische Brüder), are a communal ethno-religious branch of Anabaptists, who, like the Amish and Mennonites, trace their roots to the Radical Reformation of the early 16th century and have formed intentional communities.

In the 1994 Leonard Nimoy film "Holy Matrimony", Havana (Patricia Arquette) is on the run from the law and hides in a Hutterite community in Alberta, Canada, led by Wilhelm (actor Armin Mueller-Stahl).

In 2020, portions of the property including the Pyramid were sold to the Cavalier County Job Development Authority (CCJDA) for $462,900.

In July 2022, data center developer Bitzero Blockchain Inc. (NetZero, WEF, ESG-driven ~2 yr-old company) acquired the pyramid from the CCJDA in order to restore and renovate the complex and convert it into a data center, with a slated $500 million going into the project. Local news story

Microsoft invested $150 million in Apple on August 6, 1997. It saved Apple's ass from bankruptcy...or was it something else?

"Giving money to a smaller company (to keep them in business) does NOT prove you are NOT a monopoly." Quote from the best short techno docu I've seen on this case:



M$FT offered me a job in 1998 with all the perks. I turned them down and went with an even bigger corporate monster.
