HOW ENLIGHTENING!
Operation Paperclip
As World War II was entering its final stages, American and British organizations teamed up to scour occupied Germany for as much military, scientific and technological development research as they could uncover. One enlightening discovery—recovered from a toilet at Bonn University—was the Osenberg List: a catalogue of scientists and engineers that had been put to work for the Third Reich.
In a covert affair originally dubbed Operation Overcast but later renamed Operation Paperclip, roughly 1,600 of these German scientists (along with their families) were brought to the United States to work on America’s behalf during the Cold War. The program was run by the newly-formed Joint Intelligence Objectives Agency (JIOA), whose goal was to harness German intellectual resources to help develop America’s arsenal of rockets and other biological and chemical weapons, and to ensure such coveted information did not fall into the hands of the Soviet Union.
One of the most well-known recruits was Werner von Braun, the technical director at the Peenemunde Army Research Center in Germany who was instrumental in developing the lethal V-2 rocket that devastated England during the war. Von Braun and other rocket scientists were brought to Fort Bliss, Texas, and White Sands Proving Grounds, New Mexico, as “War Department Special Employees” to assist the U.S. Army with rocket experimentation. Von Braun later became director of NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center and the chief architect of the Saturn V launch vehicle, which eventually propelled two dozen American astronauts to the Moon.
Operation Highjump 1946
In 1929, Admiral Richard E. Byrd established naval outposts on the Antarctic coast. After several expeditions to Antarctica, in 1946, Byrd organized the U.S Navy’s Operation Highjump, which put more than 4,000 people and numerous ships and other craft into the area of the Ross Sea. In an early TV interview, Byrd said that there was land as big as the CONUS that had never been explored. The ice walls at Antarctica were 200-300 feet high!
Operation Deep Freeze 1955-1956
The International Geophysical Year 1957–58, or IGY, as it was known, marked a turning point in Antarctic exploration. With the IGY, science would become the primary focus of the U.S. presence in Antarctica. Preparing for the IGY, the U.S. Navy launched Operation Deep Freeze 1 in 1955-56 to prepare logistics and basing support in advance of the scientific work. During the IGY, which lasted 18 months, forty nations collaborated to advance world knowledge in myriad scientific disciplines. This international cooperation eventually led to the creation of the Antarctic Treaty in 1959 signed by nearly all nations. No unescorted tours are allowed in Antarctica. It is off-limits to civilians. Did they find the dome?
NASA 1958
Just prior to the Antarctica Treaty, Werner Von Braun (A Nazi war criminal from Operation Paperclip) was made director of our National Aeronautics and Space Administration with the goal of beating the Soviets in the Space Race. NASA provides us with nearly all information of a scientific nature. The “founding fathers” of NASA were anything but Christian!
Project Mohole 1958-1966
In 1958 the U.S. took the lead (against the Soviets) with the launch of Project Mohole. Located near Guadalupe in Mexico, the operation saw a team of engineers drill through the bed of the Pacific Ocean to a depth of over 600 feet. However, eight years later their funding was cut, and Project Mohole was abandoned. The Americans never got to the mantle. The Soviets eventually drilled down 7.5 miles before they abandoned their efforts. The pictures in our text books depicting the inner Earth are based on guessing! (We didn’t even have to drill to get pictures of the core elements of Mars and other planets.)
Operation Fishbowl 1962
This was part of another program named Operation Dominic (of the Lord) and it consisted of high altitude nuclear bombs being exploded over Johnson Island in the Pacific Ocean. The name “Fishbowl of the Lord” seems to be significant. During this time, the Soviets and the USA were in a Space Race and a Missile Race Where they trying to find the boundaries of the Lord’s Fishbowl!
The Moon Landing 1969
The USA claims to have landed three men on the Moon with Apollo 11 using technology that couldn’t match that of today’s cell phone. According to Astronaut Don Pettit, We would go back to the Moon in a “nano-second” if we could, but we lost the technology and it would be a “painful” process to build it back. How convenient! The NASA website explains that the latest project, Orion spacecraft, is built to take humans farther than they’ve ever gone before. Orion will serve as the exploration vehicle that will carry the crew to space, provide emergency abort capability, sustain the crew during the space travel, and provide safe re-entry from deep space return velocities. Orion will launch on NASA’s new heavy-lift rocket. They also explain the major problem of the Van Allen Radiation Belts that future space flights will have to deal with in the future exploration of “deep space” where the Moon is. This was not a problem in 1969, but now it is a serious threat to our astronauts. Did you know that Neal Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin presented the Prime Minister of Holland the gift of a Moon-rock? Turned out it was a piece of petrified wood.
