August 18, 1959: Bureau of the Budget Director Maurice Stans (March 22, 1908 – April 14, 1998) told the National Security Council (NSC) he had been briefed by the Navy on the Polaris program and informed that when operational, its 45 submarines with 29 always at sea "could destroy 232 targets, which was sufficient to destroy all of Russia." Stans asked why, if Polaris "could do this job," we needed more than 1,300 SAC bombers, plus hundreds of overseas bases, IRBMs, and ICBMs. Navy officials said "that was someone else’s problem." Polaris was expected to cost $7-8 billion with annual operating costs of $350 million.

Polaris Missile memo
The US nuclear triad was not an intentional creation. The term originated in the 1970s as a post-hoc justification for an accidental artifact of the Cold War, born of inter-service rivalry, uncoordinated and arbitrary decisions, rivalry among the brass, contractor competition, and pork-barrel politics. And the beat goes on & on.

Letter Accepting Resignation of Maurice H. Stans
Banker, accountant, & African Wildlife Foundation. "Foundations"!
He served as deputy director of the Bureau of the Budget from 1957 to 1958, and director of the Bureau of the Budget from 1958 to 1961, still under Eisenhower. He joined the Nixon administration as secretary of commerce from 1969 to 1972. In 1961, Stans was one of the founders of the African Wildlife Foundation. He was convicted on multiple counts under the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 that were revealed during the larger investigation into the Watergate scandal. He was acquitted in April 1974 in a New York federal court. According to testimony at the Watergate hearings, Mr. Stans was asked once for $50,000 for a purpose that seemed possibly irregular. Later, when he was asked what the money was for, according to the testimony, he replied, "I don't want to know, and you don't want to know." - WaPo Obit, April 15, 1998
August 18, 1958: on Runit Island, the United States conducted its 43rd and final nuclear test at Enewetak Atoll. "Fig" tested a device which evolved into the W54—the smallest and lightest US fission bomb ever deployed. The yield was mere firecracker at 20 tons (.02 kilotons).
Of the 35 nuclear tests in Operation Hardtack I, four were surface burst shots: Cactus, Koa, Quince and Fig. These tests took place from May to August 1958, all at the Enewetak Atoll. Over 130 tons of soil from the Nevada Test Site had been shipped in and was placed at surface zero of the Fig test. 30 minutes post detonation, radiation measurements at the blast site reached over 10,000 Roentgen/hr. 500 R/hr will kill you within days to 2 weeks. The tiny island is a nuclear waste dump of the Hardtack tests housed in a concrete silo with a concrete dome cap, off limits to the public, and possibly leaking.
Office of Naval Research's Floating Instrument Platform (FLIP) 1962-August 2023 was one of the Navy's more unusual vessels, designed to transition from a horizontal to vertical position to serve as a stable experimental laboratory in rough seas.
The video commemorating 50 years of continuous service to the scientific community. The 335-foot research vessel, owned by the Office of Naval Research (ONR) and operated by the Marine Physical Laboratory at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California, conducts investigations in a number of fields, including acoustics, oceanography, meteorology and marine mammal observation. It resided at the Nimitz Marine Facility pier (Scripps) in Point Loma until being towed away to be scrapped on August 4, 2023. Wild, never seen anything like it!

The UFO grift seems to pay very well. Maybe we should rebrand as the Rogue Disclosure Network and all become millionaires and buy a private island. Anyhow, horrible view, imo...
