Rand Corporation's Israel-Arab War Games (1967)

"So, in May, I was in the United States, as I told you. In May 1967, I was in California… By the way, I was visiting the Rand Corporation, and they were playing a war game over there: Israel vs. the Arabs. At some point, the game got to a point where Israel dropped a nuclear bomb on the Arabs. I don’t know whether it was based on CIA estimates or on Rand’s own estimates. They asked me about it and I didn’t tell them anything. And then I got a message from [redacted] to return to Israel immediately" (IDF Brigadier General Yitzhak Yaakov & Dr. Avner Cohen, 1999).

"'Yicha,' as he was called, was head of the IDF's weapons research and development program; a memoir he published during retirement had him convicted of handing over of secret information without authorization" (haaretz.com, 2013).

"Think Tanks - Billions for Brainwork: A fascinating new industry, devoted to solving "other people's problems" by the application of sheer intelligence (condensed from New York Times): Two retired generals sat in the "Red Room" and talked quietly about launching a surprise bombing raid. The electric calendar on the wall of the map-lined room showed the date: June 9, 1975. The battleground was Asia. A war game was being played at RAND Corp., the "think tank" generally credited with helping to shape U.S. military strategy for almost two decades. The games room lay behind a foot-thick bank-vault door in the basement of one of RAND's two modern oceanfront buildings in Santa Monica, Calif. Two smaller rooms, marked "Red Army" and "Blue Army," were linked to the games room by foot-square swinging panels called "Judas doors." Inside these small rooms, opposing Red and Blue officers planned their battlefield strategies for that future June 9, then passed their battle plans through the Judas doors to RAND game controllers, who evaluated the casualties and damage suffered by each side. Finally, the Red and Blue commanders were called in, separately, to learn what they had wrought in the latest of a series of "RAND wars" that have been fought every weekday for almost 20 years. Games are just one of the 200 research projects at RAND, best known of the proliferating U.S" (Reeves, 1967).

The longest bombing run in history: The B-2 "Spirit of America" logged 44 hours of flight time and five aerial refuelings to bomb Afghanistan from Missouri. October 8-9, 2001.

Born in the 17th century, the man dubbed the saviour of Stonehenge, who first realised its solstice alignment, an early archaeologist who preserved and documented many of Britain’s Neolithic megalithic monuments, correctly realised they were pre-Roman and led some of the first proper excavations of Indo-European barrows. William Stukeley FRS FSA was an occultist, freemason LARPing as a druid!

Originally an Anglican clergyman, his antiquarianism led him to a career as a pioneering archaeologist. This fascination with the past cannot be separated from his unusual religious beliefs. He was a Freemason, influenced by Pythagoreanism and Neoplatonism. but believed that this was consistent with the beliefs of the ancient Druids who he thought had acquired the True Religion of monotheism from Phoenician traders in antiquity.

In 1722, he founded the Society of Roman Knights, devoted to the study of Roman era Britain. The Knights each took a name from the Celtic period, Stukeley's was "Chyndonax"

This should be mandatory signage everywhere in the world

En route to Avebury in 1721, in the Kennet valley he felt the need of a geological map
“I have often wished that a map of soils was accurately made, promising to myself that such a curiosity would furnish us with some new notions of geography, and of the theory of the earth, which has only hitherto been made from hypotheses.” The greatness of his work is based on this tendency towards maps, plans and drawings as in the precision of his drawings of Stonehenge and Avebury.

WS correctly perceived that the innumerable barrows dotted about southern England were of pre-Roman origin by their situation in relation to the Roman roads, either jutting over them or by their lack of proximity to them. He also correctly attributed many of the southern hill forts to the earlier Belgics, rather than the Romans.
William Stukeley first travelled to Stonehenge in early summer of 1719 with Roger and Samuel Gale. He wrote at the time

“The Wiltshire downs, or Salisbury plain, (as commonly call,d) for extent and beauty, is, without controversy, one of the most delightful parts of Britain. But of late years great encroachments have been made upon it by the plough, which threatens the ruin of this fine Champlain, and all of the monuments of antiquity thereabouts...And however I succeed in accounting for these wonderful works: at least. I shall be instrumental in preserving their memory, in giving just drawings of them.” Stukelev's book 'Stonehenge A Temple Restor'd to the British Druids' was first published in 1740.

Stukeley spent many weeks in the next five years accurately measuring, observing and recording. He concluded that Stonehenge was not of Roman origin as others supposed but that the measurements, in cubits, suggested an earlier civilisation. He believed it was a Temple to the Ancient Druids, built by immigrants from the near east, possibly Phoenicians, who had entered this country by the Promontorium Herculaneum, Hartland Point.

His belief that Stonehenge was built c. 500 BC and that Phoenicians were involved was wrong, but indeed it was built by people originating in the Near East (Anatolia), more like 2500 BC, although they had nothing to do with Druids or Phoenicians. His guesswork is still very impressive based on the limited resources at his disposal. Stukeley's accurate drawings of Stonehenge are still used by archaeologists to this day.

Dr.Stukeley is best known as the first person to discover the alignment of the stones with the midsummer and midwinter solstices. He also named the group of two upright stones topped by a horizontal lintel as a 'trilithon' (from the Greek for 3 stones). With Edmund Halley, the astronomer, he proposed that the builders of Stonehenge had aligned the stones with the magnetic north.

"Scientists aboard China’s Tiangong space station have discovered a brand-new strain of bacteria never seen on Earth. The unexpected find triggered a maximum alert due to concerns over how the microbe might behave in the sealed space environment. Researchers say the strain has adapted to survive extreme conditions like radiation and microgravity."

Retro Bindery Backers

As we’re rapidly approaching full operational status for the Death Star bindery, we’re going to need to figure out the print runs for THE ILIAD and THE ODYSSEY. So, sometime next month, we’re giving everyone the chance to back the bindery at the same price as the original backers who have made the whole thing […]

"“There was once a great President that the American people loved. He opposed Israel’s nuclear program. And then he was assassinated,” Greene posted on X as she defended her dissatisfaction with President Donald Trump’s weekend strike on Iran. Greene’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment asking for clarity on the remarks.

"In the early 1960s, Kennedy was an ardent opponent of Israel’s nuclear program, worried it was a serious proliferation risk, according to declassified documents published in 2016 by the National Security Archive. At the time, Kennedy insisted that Israel permit periodic inspections to mitigate the danger. Israel has remained ambiguous about whether it has a nuclear program.

"Wild conspiracy theories have proliferated in the years since Kennedy was assassinated in 1963, but both the FBI and the Warren Commission, a presidential commission set up to probe Kennedy’s killing, found that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in the murder."

He’s Just Helping the Economy

What an odd thing to say! How can Russia be charged with “aggravating Britain’s migrant crisis” when a) mass immigration is good for the economy, b) refugees are always welcome, and c) diversity is strength? Russia is aggravating Britain’s migrant crisis to overwhelm border defences and sow division in the nation, security sources have claimed. […]
