The Democrats, with President Lyndon B. Johnson in the White House following the assassination of John F. Kennedy, were headed for an election-year battle with Republican presidential candidate Barry Goldwater, a fierce and outspoken conservative. The Democrats had hired a New York advertising firm to help them in their campaign. Among the ad men enlisted was Tony Schwartz who believed that negative sentiment associated with a particular candidate could be more powerful in persuading voters than positive ones.

1984 COLD WAR POLITICS - REAGAN SPEAKS WHAT IS REALLY ON HIS MIND BRIEFLY CAUSING THE COLD WAR TO WARM UP
United States President Ronald Reagan,
|
On August 11, 1984 while running for re-election,
was preparing to make his weekly Saturday radio
address on National Public Radio. As a sound
check prior to the address, Reagan made the
following joke to the radio technicians:
My fellow Americans, I am
My fellow Americans, I am
- pleased to tell you today that I've signed legislation that will outlaw Russia forever. We begin bombing in five
- minutes.
- The joke was a parody of the opening line of that
- day's speech-
- today I signed legislation that will allow student
- religious groups to begin enjoying a right they've
- too long been denied — the freedom to meet in
- public high schools during nonschool hours, just
- as other student groups are allowed to do.
Contrary to popular misconception, this microphone
gaffe was not broadcast over the air, but rather
gaffe was not broadcast over the air, but rather
leaked later to the general populace. But the Tokyo
newspaper Yomiuri Shimbun reported in October
newspaper Yomiuri Shimbun reported in October
1984 that the Soviet Far East Army was placed
on a full scale
alert after word of the statement got out, and that
the alert was not withdrawn until 12 hours later.
An unnamed aide to US Representative Michael
Barnes (D-Md.) confirmed that the Pentagon was
aware of the alert. There was no report of any
change in the DEFCON level for the United
States.
Though this was not the first time Reagan had joked
prior to giving a speech or address, the Soviet
official news agency, TASS, condemned the joke,
declaring that "The USSR condemns this
unprecedented and hostile attack by the US
President" and that "this kind of behavior is
incompatible with the great responsibility borne by
heads of nuclear states for the destinies of their own
people and mankind
The quip became the basis for a song titled "Five
Minutes," as well as "A is for Atom (B is for
Bomb)" by Monte Cazazza's band The Atom
Smashers, both of which began with a clip of the
recording. Personally i remember living in NYC at
the time and the Anti-Reagan faction went to town
over this plastering huge black and white posters of
Reagan and the words of the gaffe. Along with this
the Blossoming Punk Rock scene on the Lower East
Side used it for song material
The Cold War during Reagans presidency was
revived and the arms race and Nuclear War fear
was there ,Some of the great movies on Nuclear War
were filmed during this period "Threads" Englands
dark vision and " The Day After" the U.S. version
and the new advent of the MTV music video
channel had a great variety of Reagan caused
Nuclear War videos like "World Destruction"
Afrika Boombata's and Johnny Lydons (ex Sex
Pistol Singer) Look at Nuclear War. This continued
until the Berlin Wall came down a few years later.
Reagan was the last of the great Cold War
Presidents who adverted and detered Nuclear
Confrontation on their watch.

(1963) POLITICAL PROPAGANDA - EITHER A WORLD FOR ALL GOD"S CHILDREN OR WE MUST DIE- LBJ ELECTION COMMERCIAL
"These are the stakes! To make a
world in which all of God's children
can live, or to go into the dark. We
must either love each other, or we
must die."
LBJ LETS AMERICANS KNOW THAT WE MUST MAKE A WORLD FOR ALL OF GODS CHILDREN OR GO IN TO THE DARKNESS, AND DIE, AND THE WAY WE WILL DIE IS SEEN IN THE END OF HIS COMMERCIAL AS A NUCLEAR BLAST LIGHTS UP THE SCREEN WITH THE SOUND OF THE DETONATION FOLLOWING IT.......THAT HORROR THAT HE FORECASTS AGAINST THE BACKDROP OF A NUCLEAR DETONATION THAT IS SEEN IN THE REFLECTION OF A LITTLE GIRLS EYE (WHO IS REFERRED TO AS DAISY OR THE DAISY GIRL) AS SHE IS COUNTING DAISY PETALS AND AS SHE COUNTS A MALE VOICE TAKES OVER AND COUNTS DOWN WHAT SOUNDS LIKE A NUCLEAR MISSILE LAUNCH. IT IS VERY SERIOUS AND SHOCKING IN ITS IMAGERY AND ALSO ITS WORDING. THIS WAS 1963 SO THIS WAS A LITTLE HEAVY FOR ITS DAY, BUT SO WERE HIS OTHER CAMPAIGN COMMERCIALS SHOWING THE KLAN OR OUT OF CONTROL HIPSTERS AND LONG HAIRED DRUG FUELED YOUTH TEARING UP AMERICA. ALL OF THESE VERY IMAGE HEAVY COMMERCIALS THAT CALLED FOR STRAIGHT GOD FEARING AMERICANS TO COME OUT AND VOTE FOR HIM THE STAKES HAVE NEVER BEEN HIGHER.
THIS HAS TO BE ONE OF THE SCARIEST ELECTION BIDS I HAVE EVER SEEN.....WELL SOME OF RONALD REAGAN'S ELECTION ADS AND QUOTES ARE ALSO KINDA SCARY TOO, BUT JOHNSON RODE THE CUBAN MISSILE CRISIS OUT WITH KENNEDY AND THAT WAS THE CLOSEST WE HAD COME TO A HOT WAR WITH THE SOVIETS. SO AFTER KENNEDY WAS ASSASSINATED AND JOHNSON WAS SWORN IN AS PRESIDENT HE TOOK ON THE BURDEN OF THE COLD WAR ,SO IF HE SAYS IN A ROUNDABOUT WAY THAT IF YOU DON'T COME OUT AND VOTE FOR ME WE ARE ALL GOING TO MARCH TOGETHER INTO A NUCLEAR APOCALYPSE THAT MIGHT OF BEEN A GOOD REASON TO VOTE FOR THE GUY. SCARY SHIT, IT IS MOST DEFINITELY A CLASSIC COLD WAR MEMORY AND HE WAS ELECTED, AND EVEN STILL SOME AMERICANS WERE MARCHED OFF IN TO THE DARKNESS..IT WAS CALLED VIETNAM

BROOKHAVEN NATIONAL LAB " LAND OF COLD WAR SECRETS "
BROOKHAVEN NATIONAL LAB COLD WAR YEARS THE RADIATION GUINEA PIGS SUFFOLK COUNTY RESIDENTS AND MARSHAL ISLANDERS |
BROOKHAVEN NATIONAL LAB WAS PART OF THE PACIFIC ATOMIC TESTS ALTHOUGH THE BIKINI ATOLL TEST THEY DENY BEING PART OF IT. THEIR AREA OF STUDY WAS RADIATION AND ITS RESULT ON PEOPLE AND AGRICULTURE. EVEN THOUGH THE REPORTS STATE BROOKHAVEN WAS NOT PART OF THE TEST THAT DOSED PEOPLE DURING THE MARSHAL ISLAND TEST WHERE SOMEONE SCREWED UP THE YIELD OF THE TESTS POWER. THE TEST DISINTEGRATED THE ENTIRE ISLAND INCLUDING THE 5 FOOT CONCRETE OBSERVATION POSTS OR WHERE TESTS WERE FILMED, LUCKY FOR BROOKHAVEN THE FALLOUT CLOUD WAS VERY LARGE AND CAUGHT THE CREW OF A JAPANESE FISHING VESSEL LUCKY DRAGON GIVING BROOKHAVEN SUBJECTS TO STUDY AND BEING UNLUCKY FOR THE INNOCENT PEOPLE WHO DIED FROM THAT RESULT, THE FALLOUT WAS ACTUALLY PIECES OF THE ISLAND LAGOON AND CORAL REEF PLUS THE VERY LARGE STEL BUILDING COMPLEX & FACILITIES ON ANOTHER AREA AWAY FROM THE TEST AND THAT WAS VAPORIZED AND THAT RAINED DOWN ON THE CREW CAUSING EXTREME PAIN AND DEATH FROM THE FALLOUT THE CREW HAD RADIATION BURNS,ETC AND BNL USED THEM FOR ALMOST 40 YEARS, BESIDES TRAVELING TO TESTS BNL CONDUCTED HUNDREDS OF FALLOUT SIMULATIONS ON AGRICULTURE ON THE PROPERTY. AND HAD OTHER ATOMIC WAR SIMULATIONS LIKE THE GAMMA FIELDS. GAMMA FIELDS ARE LARGE AREAS OF WOODS OR FARM WHERE A TELEPHONE POLE HAS A BOX CONTAINING A VERY DEADLY RADIATION LIKE PLUTONIUM ATTACHED TO THE TOP. THE WOODS BELOW SIMULATE THE POST ATTACK CONDITIONS AFTER A ATOMIC ATTACK, THE LAB IS SURROUNDED BY HOMES AND STORES WHERE 45 YEARS EARLIER THE AREA AROUND THE LAB WAS DESOLATE POTATO FIELDS. ACCIDENTS THAT CAUSED RADIOACTIVE STEAM TO BE RELEASED AND THOSE DOWNWIND OF IT GOT DOSED. THESE ACCIDENTS WERE ALWAYS FOLLOWED UP BY LAB OFFICIALS CLAIMING NO HIGH LEVEL OF RADIATION WAS RELEASED. HMMMMM THAT DOESN'T EXPLAIN THE CANCER CLUSTER IN A AREA OF 15 MILES. THIS CANCER IS NOT A COMMON CANCER YET IT THRIVES AROUND THE LAB?? COULD BNL BE TESTING HUMANS WITH RADIATION AND THAT ANSWER IS YES. IT HAS NEVER BEEN ADMITTED BY BNL BUT IT HAS OCCURRED IN OTHER LABS LIKE BROOKHAVEN. BROOKHAVENS COLD WAR MISSION WAS THE STUDY OF ATOMIC BLAST FALLOUT AND ITS EFFECT ON AGRICULTURE AND HUMANS. BNL WAS PRESENT AT THE NEVADA TEST SITE BLASTS, AND PACIFIC HYDROGEN BOMB TESTS THE FACT THAT ACCIDENTAL RELEASES OF RADIATION WHERE A COMMON OCCURRENCE DURING THE 1980s ANYONE UNLUCKY TO BE DOWNWIND GOT DOSED.THE IMAGE OF BNL USING HELICOPTERS WITH CROP DUSTING RIGS TO SPRAY SIMULATED FALLOUT (RADIATION+WATER+FOOD DYE)ONTO SIMULATED FARMS AND OTHER AGRICULTURE IS SCARY SINCE WIND WOULD BLOW THAT DOWNWIND THE OTHER THING I FOUND WAS DURING THE 1950-60s THE LAB USED THE AREA WOODS TO DO TESTS .YEARS LATER A FENCE AND A HIGHWAY CAME ALONG BUT DURING SOME DIRT BIKE RIDING WE FOUND OURSELVES UNDER A FADED SIGN STATING "DANGER RADIATION" THIS AREA WAS NOT LAB PROPERTY DID THEY DO SOMETHING PEOPLE LIVING ON THE LAND SHOULD BE CONCERNED ABOUT IS IN THEIR BACKYARD? I BROUGHT THE SIGN TO THE LAB DURING A OPEN HOUSE THEY ACTUALLY TRIED TO TAKE IT AND WOULD NOT DISCLOSE ANY INFORMATION CONCERNING PAST TESTING OFF LAB PROPERTY. I CAN REALLY UNDERSTAND WHY THE LAB IS A PRIMARY SOVIET ICBM TARGET>
BELOW NEWSDAY LONG ISLANDS NEWSPAPER INVESTIGATED THE TESTING OF RADIOACTIVITY ON HUMAN SUBJECTS BY BROOKHAVEN NATIONAL LAB DOCTORS AND SCIENTISTS. USING THE MARSHAL ISLAND RESIDENTS AND UNCOVERED THE TRUTH THAT BROOKHAVEN USED HUMAN SUBJECTS AS GUINEA PIGS TO TEST THE EFFECTS OF RADIOACTIVE FALLOUT CONDITIONS POST BLAST. THIS STUDY WATCHED AS THE RADIATION LEFT BY THE FALLOUT WORKED ITS WAY INTO THE FOOD CHAIN THAT THE ISLANDERS WERE EATING. WORSE, THEY ALLOWED MORE RADIOACTIVE EXPOSURE TO THE ISLANDERS NEVER WARNING THEM AND NEVER REVEALING THE TRUTH.
BROOKHAVEN LAB HAS MANY NOBEL PEACE PRIZE WINNING WORK ALTHOUGH THEY ACTED LIKE WAR CRIMINALS EXPOSING HUMANS TO DEADLY RADIATION KNOWINGLY.
For 43 years, doctors at Brookhaven National Laboratory were in charge of the medical care of residents of the remote Marshall Islands in the Pacific who had been exposed to radiation from nuclear bomb blasts set off by the United States during the Cold War. Newsday's investigation shows the lab knowingly allowed hundreds of island residents to live on contaminated islands so that American scientists could study the flow of radioactivity through their bodies for "scientific and military concerns." BNL also convinced some 100 Marshallese residents to have highly questionable thyroid surgery -- paying each person $25,000 to secure their cooperation -- often without their fully informed consent. After living on their contaminated islands from 1957 to 1985, the population of Rongelap fled, convinced that they were being lied to by the BNL team. They now live hundreds of miles away from their homeland. Now the Obama adminstration and the U.S. Congress will have to decide whether to pay $1 billion in damages awarded to Rongelap by the Nuclear Claims Tribunal in 2007.
Brookhaven Statement on Marshall
Islands
August 22, 2009
In 1956, the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) turned to Brookhaven National Laboratory to continue a program of medical evaluation and care of Marshall Islanders accidentally exposed to radioactive fallout following a U.S. nuclear weapons test at Bikini atoll on March 1, 1954. Brookhaven Lab was not involved in the weapons test.
On that day, according to government reports, the wind shifted unexpectedly toward inhabited atolls just before detonation and the explosion produced higher amounts of fallout than predicted. As a result, Marshallese on the atolls of Utirik, Rongelap, and Ailinginae; American servicemen at a weather station on Rongerik Atoll; and Japanese fishermen on the vessel Lucky Dragon were all exposed to high levels of radiation.
In the aftermath of this disastrous accident, the AEC and Department of Defense dispatched an emergency medical team to the area and then continued follow-up visits. Over the next two years, several Naval physicians from that team joined the staff at Brookhaven Lab, leading to the 1956 AEC request that Brookhaven take over the medical program.
Robert Conard became head of the program, and he and colleagues made trips to the Marshall Islands every year to treat radiation-related illnesses, collect samples for laboratory analyses, and measure radiation levels in the environment. Study results were shared in scientific journals. Twenty years later, when the Department of Energy (DOE) came into being in 1977, Brookhaven was asked to maintain the program under contract to DOE.
The program ended for Brookhaven Lab in 1998. Today, DOE continues to provide annual medical screening to the Marshallese at medical clinics in the Marshall Islands and in the United States.
DOE reports annually to Congress on the health care program for the remaining members of the Marshallese population exposed to radiation resulting from the 1954 Bikini nuclear weapons test.

Nuclear 911
Nuclear Accidents aka "Broken Arrows"
Since 1950, there have been 32 nuclear weapon accidents, known as "Broken Arrows."
A Broken Arrow is defined as an unexpected event involving nuclear weapons that result in the accidental launching, firing, detonating, theft or loss of the weapon. To date, six nuclear weapons have been lost and never recovered. Now, recently declassified documents reveal the history and secrecy surrounding the events known as "Broken Arrows".
There have been 32 nuclear weapon accidents since 1950. Six of these nuclear weapons have been lost and never recovered. What does this say about our defense system? What does this mean to our threatened environment? What do we do to rectify these monumental "mistakes"?
Using spectacular special effects, newly uncovered and recently declassified footage, filmmaker Peter Kuran explores the accidents, incidents and exercises in the secret world of nuclear weapons.

NEW YORK FEMA TARGET LISTING 1990
New York
At the bottom of this page is the 1990 FEMA nuclear target map for New York. It was just a conceptual map about the nuclear threat. Even an all-out nuclear war - did not by any means mean that every site would be hit. For some states VERY FEW and POSSIBLY / PROBABLY NONE of the sites will be hit but others may have some very significant targets. Because circumstances have changed since 1990 some of the targets in many of the maps should be removed and possibly there are others that should be added.
Besides nuclear weapons there can be various radiological and other weapon hazards within your state and radiological threats may come from outside your state.
1. Nuclear power plants (think Chernoybl) for one. When the power, technology and personnel may not be available to maintain the plants - there is no telling what may happen to / with them.
2. The same applies to the storage of used nuclear fuel which presently has to be kept cooled and maintained.3. Then there might somewhere be a stockpile of nuclear weapons. 4. Storage concerns should not be with just nuclear weapons but also with biological and chemical weapons. 5. There may just be hazardous stores of industrial chemicals that are no longer being maintained and protected. 6. There can be armories and warehouses of weapons and explosives that could fall into dangerous hands. 7. Whatever may be added to this list - needs to be identified and dealt with. | |
And we haven't even mentioned EMP. Weapons exploded at high altitude for the sole purpose of creating EMP could turn off the lights in America. Permanently. Or in any case it could take a very long time to turn them back on - if you can imagine life without electricity.

(1968) USAF SURVIVE TO FIGHT ATOMIC WEAPON HITS ADC BASE JETS SCRAMBLE INTERCEPT SOVIET ATTACKERS
THIS IS A CLASSIC UNITED STATES AIR FORCE TRAINING FILM THAT IS BASED ON SURVIVABILITY OF USAF BASE OPERATIONS IN THE CONTINENTAL UNITED STATES AFTER A NUCLEAR ATTACK,BASES LIKE THIS ONE WERE SCATTERED THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES DURING THE COLD WAR PERIOD THE AMOUNT OF PRESSURE AND RESPONSIBILITY THESE MEN HAD HAD HANDLING NUCLEAR WEAPONS THAT WERE USED ON INTERCEPTOR AIRCRAFT ,THE # AM SCRAMBLES INTO THE WINTER NIGHT NOT KNOWING IF THIS WAS FOR REAL AS BASE AIRCRAFT PEELED OUT LAUNCHING IN PAIRS SC REAMING INTO THE WINTER NIGHT WAITING FOR WORD OF WHAT WAS GOING ON. THE AIRMEN AT THESE BASES KNEW ANY ATTACK ON THE US THEY WOULD BE AMONG THE FIRST TO KNOW AND FIRST TO GO WHILE THE COMMUNITIES OUTSIDE THE GATES NEVER KNEW HOW CLOSE THEY WERE TO WAR AS THE BASES WENT TO DIFFERENT DEFCON LEVELS, THIS WAS NOT INFORMATION FOR THE PUBLIC.
THE FILM STARTS AT NIGHT AND THE SAC AIR DEFENSE COMMAND LAUNCHES ITS F-101 INTERCEPTOR AIR CRAFT AND PREPARES TO RIDE OUT A NUCLEAR STRIKE AS CONFIRMATION OF INCOMING MISSILES IS CONFIRMED. THANKS TO A CLIMATE OF GUARDED DEFENSE THE AIR FORCE BASE IS ABLE TO BUILD DEFENSIVE AND SHELTER FACILITIES TO SURVIVE AND FIGHT AND AS A NUCLEAR DETONATION IS CONFIRMED ON BASE THE AIR FORCE BEGINS TO DEAL WITH THE PROBLEMS SO ITS AIR WING CAN COME BACK AND RE-ARM AND RE-FUEL A GREAT SUBJECT THAT U.S. MILITARY FORCES HAD TO PLAN FOR AND TRAIN AND THIS FILM SHOWS WHAT THEY EXPECTED, THE REAL QUESTION IS IT REALISTIC IN ITS EXPECTATION?
THE ONE THING IS THAT IT IS PRICELESS THAT THE USAF MADE THIS TRAINING FILM AND ITs QUOTES LIKE "HAVE NO UMBRELLAS,IF IT STARTS TO RAIN WE WILL LET YOU KNOW." AND "YOU CALL US BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T WE WILL BE CALLING YOU" WEIRD,.. BUT STILL GREAT PROPAGANDA!FILMED AT A SAC AIR DEFENSE INTERCEPTOR BASE LOCATED IN OXNARD, OXNARD AFB CALIFORNIA 1967 THIS IS BASICALLY WHEN CLOSING OF SAC ADC BASES WAS GOING ON ALL OVER (SUFFOLK COUNTY AFB LONG ISLAND NEW YORK) RESPONSIBLE FOR THE NYC AREA FOR MOST OF THE COLD WAR.DURING 1968- EARLY 1970s MOST OF THESE AIR FORCE ADC UNITS WENT OVER TO FIGHT IN VIETNAM AND THAILAND AS FORWARD AIR CONTROL AND MUNITION LOADERS FOR USAF STRIKE PLANES USING IRON BOMBS INSTEAD OF ATOMIC MUNITIONS BOMBING NVA BASES AND NORTH VIETNAM AND THE ADC PILOTS AND BACKSEATERS WENT OVER ALSO, TO ME THESE GUYS REALLY SERVED THEIR COUNTRY PLUS ONE AND DESERVE BIG RESPECT , MY HATS OFF TO THE USAF AIRMEN OF ADC/SAC AND VIETNAM/THAILAND/LAOS
DEFCON THE ULTIMATE NUCLEAR WAR SIMULATION
NYC EMERGENCY BROADCAST PLEASE STAND BY FOR OFFICIAL INFORMATION (1980-1984)
USAF/SAC AT DEFCON ONE AND CONFIDENCE IS HIGH! "EXECUTIVE DESCISION" USAF'S NUCLEAR POSTURE
PROBABLY THE MOST TELLING STORY OF USAF MIGHT AND POWER AS WAR IS UNLEASHED ON THE AGRESSOR NATION WHO IS LATER IDENTIFIED TO BE THE SOVIET UNION, THE STOCK FOOTAGE OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS BEING DROPPED BY B-47 STRATOJETS and B-52 BOMBERS ARE FROM ONCE CLASSIFIED USAF NUCLEAR TEST OPS. MOST OF THIS ENTIRE FILM IS FROM CLASSIFIED WARPLANS AND SPECIAL OPERATIONS, THIS HOMAGE TO SAC AND STRATEGIC AIR COMMANDS DEDICATION TO MISSION IS A JEWEL AND FROM A TIME WHERE THE WORLD WAS A TINDERBOX READY FOR SOMEONE TO STRIKE THE SPARK AND IGNITE A WORLDWIDE NUCLEAR CONFLAGRATION WHERE LIFE MOST LIKELY WOULD OF WENT THE WAY OF THE DINOSAUR AND ONLY MILLIONS OF YEARS LATER A FOSSILIZED REMAINS OF MAN WOULD BE DISCOVERED BY THE NEXT GENERATION THAT CAME FROM THE ASHES OF THE OLD, THIS FILM IS NOT KNOWN IF IT WAS EVER SEEN OR VIEWED OTHER THAN A HANDFUL OF HIGH RANKING USAF OFFICERS, SEE THE DESCRIPTION AND INFORMATION FROM THE NUCLEAR VAULT.COM
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"The Power of Decision" may be the first (and perhaps the only) U.S. government film dramatizing nuclear war decision-making. Commissioned by the Strategic Air Command in 1956, the film has the look of a 1950s TV drama, but the subject is the ultimate Cold War nightmare. By the end of the film, after the U.S. Air Force has implemented war plan "Quick Strike" following a Soviet surprise attack, millions of Americans, Russians, Europeans, and Japanese are dead. The narrator, a Colonel Dodd, asserts that "nobody wins a nuclear war because both sides are sure to suffer terrible damage." Despite the "catastrophic" damage, one of the film’s operating assumptions is that defeat is avoidable as long as the adversary cannot impose its "will" on the United States. The film’s last few minutes suggest that the United States would prevail because of the "success" of its nuclear air offensive. Moscow, not the United States, is sending out pleas for a cease-fire.
The conviction that the United States could prevail was a doctrinal necessity because Air Force leaders assumed the decisiveness of air power. The founding fathers of the U.S. Air Force came out of World War II with an unshakeable, if exaggerated, conviction that the strategic bombing of Germany and Japan had been decisive for the Allied victory and that air power would be crucial in future conflicts. (Note 1) The film’s title: "Power of Decision" embodies that conviction. The title itself is a reference to a 1948 statement by General George C. Kenney, the Strategic Air Command’s first commander-in-chief: "A war in which either or both opponents use atomic bombs will be over in a matter of days...The Air Force that is superior in its capability of destruction plays the dominant role and has the power of decision." (Note 2) A confident statement made by one of the characters, General "Pete" Larson, near the close of reel 6 flows from that assumption: the Soviets "must quit; we have the air and the power and they know it."
The story begins with Colonel Dodd, standing in the underground command post of the "Long Range Offense Force" (oddly, the Strategic Air Command is never mentioned by name). Dodd discusses the Force’s strike capabilities, its mechanisms for keeping track of its strategic assets, and its war plans. That hundreds of bombers, based in U.S. territories and overseas bases, are ready to launch at a moment’s notice is the "surest way to prevent war." Dodd does not think that the Soviets are likely to strike, but if deterrence fails and the Soviets launch an attack, "this is what will happen."
What "happens" is the initial detection by U.S. air defense network of the approach of Soviet bombers over the Arctic Circle. That leads to General Larson’s decision to launch the SAC alert force under plan "Quick Strike"; airborne and nuclear-armed alert bombers fly toward the Soviet periphery, but stay at position until they receive an attack order (this was the concept of "Fail Safe" or "Positive Control" although those terms were not used in the film). About an hour after the alert force is launched, General Larson receives reports of attacks on U.S. bases, followed by more information on Soviet nuclear attacks on cities and military bases in Japan and Western Europe. "That does it," General Turner (one of Larson’s deputies) exclaims. He soon receives a call on the red phone from the Joint Chiefs, who with the President, are in a protected command post. The president has ordered the execution of "Quick Strike," releasing bombers and missiles to strike the Soviet Union. This simultaneous bomber-missile "double punch" is aimed at "all elements of [Soviet] air power" [bomber bases] along with "war making and war sustaining resources," which meant strikes on urban-industrial areas and urban populations. To depict the undepictable, the film’s producers use stock footage of nuclear tests and missile and bomber launches.
Once it is evident that the Soviets have launched a surprise air attack, Colonel Dodd observes that "By giving up the initiative, the West must expect to take the first blow." This statement is not developed, but for Air Force planners, "initiative" meant a preemptive attack or a first strike. By the early 1950, senior military planners and defense officials had begun considering the possibility of pre-emptive attacks on the basis of strategic warning; that is, if the United States intelligence warning system collected reliable information on an impending Soviet attack, decision-makers could approve strikes against Soviet military forces to disrupt it. Consistent with this, Strategic Air Command war plans assumed "two basic modes" for executing strike plans [See Document One below]. () One was retaliation against a surprise attack; the other "plan was based on the assumption that the United States had strategic warning and had decided to take the initiative." The SAC strike force would then be "launched to penetrate en masse prior to the enemy attack; the main target would be the enemy’s retaliatory capability."
In the last part of reel 6, Air Force intelligence briefings review the destruction of the Soviet military machine, including destruction of air bases, weapons storage centers, and government control centers, among other targets. "Target M," presumably Moscow, has "been destroyed" by a nuclear weapon which struck 300 yards from the aiming point. The Soviet attack has done calamitous damage to the United States, with 60 million casualties, including 20 million wounded, but evidence was becoming available of the "success" of the U.S. air offensive. The Soviet Air Force has been reduced to a handful of aircraft, it had stopped launching nuclear strikes outside of its territory, and SACEUR [Supreme Allied Commander Europe] reports the "complete disintegration of resistance" by Soviet ground forces. Moreover, cease-fire requests are coming in from the Soviets. In this context, General Larson’s certainty that the "Soviets must quit" conveyed prevailing assumptions about the value of strategic air power.
Around the time when "The Power of Decision" as being produced, a statement by SAC Commander-in-Chief General Curtis LeMay made explicit what was implicit in Larson’s observation. In an address before the Air Force’s Scientific Advisory Board in 1957 [see Document Two], LeMay argued that U.S. strategic forces could not be an effective deterrent unless they were "clearly capable of winning under operational handicaps of bad weather and no more than tactical warning." And by winning, LeMay said he meant "achieving a condition wherein the enemy cannot impose his will on us, but we can impose our will on him." Larson’s statement about control of the air dovetailed exactly with LeMay’s assumptions about winning.
Little is known about the production and distribution of "The Power of Decision," or even if it was actually shown. According to the history of the Air Photographic and Charting Service for January through June 1957, on 28 May 1956, the Strategic Air Command requested the service to produce the film, which would be classified Secret. SAC leaders may have wanted such a film for internal indoctrination and training purposes, to help officers and airmen prepare themselves for the worst active-duty situation that they could encounter. Perhaps the relatively unruffled style of the film’s performers was to serve as a model for SAC officers if they ever had to follow orders that could produce a nuclear holocaust. In any event, the script for "Power of Decision" was approved on 10 May 1957 and a production planning conference took place on 29 May 1957. The contract productions section of the Air Photographic and Charting Service was the film’s producing unit.
The next step was to find actors with security clearances because even the synopsis of the film was classified secret (although later downgraded to "official use only"). As the Air Force was not in the business of hiring actors, the production unit engaged the services of MPO Productions, a New York-based firm which produced commercials and industrial films. [References to MPO, Inc. are on the index cards and on "The End" frame at the close of reel 6]. What happened next, when the work on the film was completed, SAC’s assessment of the project, and whether, when, or where the film was shown, cannot presently be determined, although the information may be in the living memories of participants or viewers from those days.

PROPAGANDA No.2 "Your New Sound Of Freedom"
USAF/DEFENSE NUCLEAR AGENCY (1970) MEETING THE TERRORIST THREAT- GUARDING USAF NUCLEAR FACILITIES
- Meeting the Terrorist Threat, Produced by the Defense Nuclear Agency - Early 1970's - 7:30 - Color - Since the emergence of the terrorist threat, the U.S. Governments concern about the possible terrorism against nuclear facilities has intensified. This video is a dramatization. It shows how the Government has responded to this threat.
The video depicts nuclear security activities at an early nuclear storage site and how a small unarmed force of intruders easily enters under the security fence surrounding the site. The protective force subdues the intruders easily. In another scene, a well-armed terrorist team enters the base and kills a roving patrol with a well-placed sniper. Security forces finally overcome the terrorists after a superior counter-force arrives.
On a third entry, a terrorist team enters the site under the cover of a fellow terrorist, hidden in the forest, armed with a heavy machine gun. This terrorist team reaches and penetrates a storage igloo after the roving patrol is killed, and the rapid response force is destroyed. However, the terrorists do not escape. When the superior security force appears with helicopter support and an armored personnel carrier, the terrorists, including the machine gunner, are killed.
Since this film was made, the Department of Energy (DOE) has constantly improved the training and tactics of the security forces at each installation as well as the in-place security systems. With its modern day posture, it would be highly improbable that a small group of armed individuals could forcibly enter any DOE facility and escape with a nuclear weapon or any special nuclear
