Secret weapon announced: Giant Brain

Massachussets, Pensylvania

The era on human thinking is all over. Human has been able to play the role of God himself and produce a machine that can think!

Not so advanced thinkin though than human thinking, but the baby is born and it is called The Giant Brain. Scientists though call it ENIAC. The name comes from the words Electronic Numerical Integrator And Computer. That brain we now have may perhaps end all the world wars and smaller wars in no time. The first tasks scientists and enginees gave to this machine brain was to calculate the tables of ballistics for the army. It could do it thousand times faster than a man with electomechanical calculator.

The power that our new brain gives us makes our government invincible in any circumstances. By reproducing that machine we can operate all over the world. It is not an easy task to make such electonic brains, but every effort to avoid any future world war is worthwhile in these modern times. Anywhere, where there is capability to get 17,468 vacuum tubes, 7,200 crystal diodes, 1,500 relays, 70,000 resistors, 10,000 capacitors and skilled personnel to do some 5 million hand-soldered joints there is a possibility to create that kind of brain.

Any of our hostile counties may never have the desing documents of this valuable and wonderful machine. It is not easy for anyone to steal the brain itself, because it weighs 30 short tons (27 t), and it is about 8.5 by 3 by 80 feet (2.6 m × 0.9 m × 26 m), took up 680 square feet (63 m2). It demands about 150 kW of power to operate.

It is now obvious that anything is possible in our modern times when there are scientists who can make thinking machines. The machine may perhaps help the scientists and engineers to design new ways to use atom energy in a constructive way, like giving energy for our growing cities and turn the darkness of the night to the brightness of the day. Perhaps the machine brain is teaching us someday -perhaps even during next 50 years - to turn this earth to a paradise and send some colonies to the moon to spread out our american values and world peace.

Because of that brain's massive capability to think it is said, that the people of the world don't need really many of those machines. It is estimated that only 4 of those machines give enough brain power to solve any problems of the human race, including wars, famine, economic crises and penicillinium production against all bad diseases.

The easiness of the scientists and engineers to build that machine though makes us consider, is it possible that nazis had something like that, but evidently they did not, because there are no traces of such macines in the ruins of Germany or post war intelligence has not revealed anything like that Giant Brain of ours, said mr. "X " (anonymous for obvious reasons) when we tried to interview him when we were allowed to see that Giant Brain in action. Scientists programmed it as a pratical joke to give the right results of Ascott horse races. I am convinced that the result is right and after two weeks those scientists are millionaires. That machine looks so impressive and the results seened to be accurate. But let's wait a few days and see what happens.

The happiest thing is that The Era of Wars is now totally over, let me say! How cool is that!

Opinion: Allied Intelligence Failure Still to be Addressed

Mr. Editor,

Since I first started subscribing to Truth Today a few years ago, I have been delighted to see that your paper is not afraid to tackle the controversial issues of the day. I was therefore emboldened to write you about an important issue regarding the state of the Allied intelligence during the late world war.

In 1945 Allied intelligence toiled overtime to find out the workings of the overextended Nazi war machine. Early that year, after what has since been called the Battle of the Bulge, it started to look as if German resources were being rerouted from the defence of the Western front: key units would disappear from the line, others would be weaker than anticipated, reconnaissance photos would find airplanes going missing etc. Even industrial plants were being dismantled and moved elsewhere.

Rather than accepting the obvious - that this was due to the massive losses the Germans were taking in the East and the successful Western air campaign - Allied intelligence cooked up the curious theory that there was a-building a German "National Redoubt", a stronghold in which the Nazi leadership, with fanatical SS troops, would be making their bloody last stand. Now, of course, we know that there was no such thing: the estimates given to General Eisenhower and the Allied High Command seem to have been half guesses and misunderstandings and, indeed, half pure fantasy.

As a war correspondent in the ETO, I had the possibility to discuss the issue with the late General Patton, the man at the spearhead of the Allied advance into Germany. Most everyone knows that Patton would have been highly willing to make a beeline for Berlin and to take the fight to the heart of the Nazi Reich. But not many people have been personally able to experience how furious the late General was for the fact that he was ordered to lead his Third Army into Southern Germany in pursuit of a chimera among the Alpine passes while Soviet armies were fighting to conquer the Nazi capital.

General Patton could wax very poignant on this issue, and without his untimely death, he would have surely made a big stink of it back home. There was no impregnable Nazi "Festung" in the Alps, nor were Patton's troops able to discover German "wonder weapons" in Austria or the Czech industrial areas. More to the point, such fantastical things have not been found anywhere on this Earth.

No official investigation into the matter has been made. As the tensions between the US and the USSR grow daily, I think the people in the US would be more than entitled to know exactly why Eastern Germany was abandoned by the Western Allies, only to be gobbled up Joseph Stalin.

I remain, &.

A bit long post, sorry, but I just could not pack Wangernumb's message into a shorter form without losing key points and still keeping the "opinion" style. Questions raised about US intelligence: maybe only the location of the fortress was wrong? Ties in with the German weapon developments in the South as well as the conspiracy theories into Patton's death. Is Wangernumb writing in earnest, or is this just a part of a US government disinfo campaign? You decide. ;-)

Volkswagen makes an amfibi car?

Many people have wondered the new productions of that brand new car type that comes from Wolfsburg, Germany. The beetle formed car called Volswagen is getting more and more attention in everyday use of european cities.

All the broken bridges and ruined streets of the cities are not preventing that beetle to run safely and comfortably and there are rumours that this type of car with the motor that is cooled by air is suitable for extreme arctic or even antactic temperatures. But that is perhaps only advertising, because the german automobile industry must get attention and sell millions of cars if they intend to provide jobs for all the people that need it in post war Germany.

Let's see if this new beetlebug can survive the next 3 years to the 50's, because it is not easy when american cars factories are so effective with their production lines. I doubt it.

Contact lost with survey ship

From "The Manchester Guardian", 5th August 1946

According to sources at the Admiralty, the Royal Navy has lost radio contact with the polar survey ship HMS Franklin. The ship is thought to experience technical trouble due to especially adverse weather conditions. According to the Royal Navy, the last communication from the ship was received six days ago, when it was located about 150 nautical miles south-east of Cape Crozier, Ross Island.

According to experts, however, the ship is equipped with the latest in radio technology, and as of press time the Royal Navy has not been able to fully explain the continuing silence.

The Franklin, a Halcyon-class minesweeper with a complement of 80 was recently refitted at Belfast for operations in the polar sea. It is tasked with a geographical and geological survey of the coastal areas of Ross Island and the crew is expected to gain further knowledge of the meteorological and electromagnetic conditions in the area. According to the Admiralty, the mission of the Franklin is not connected with the expected American Antarctic expedition.

HMS Franklin is the first Royal Navy ship to visit Antarctic waters since 1943. According to the Times, some irony might be found in the fact that the ship, named after the Arctic explorer Sir John Franklin is missing in the polar area almost exactly 100 years after the Franklin expedition was lost in the Canadian Arctic.

The Antarctic Triangle

There is a place near Antarctic where ships and aeroplanes are suddenly disappearing. It is thought that it is some anomaly on earths magnetic field that makes the compasses go wild there and the aeroplanes and ships to get lost on the souhern waters near Antarctica.

There has been no evidence of radio rtansmissions before the sudden disappearings that thre are icebergs floating nearby.

Even the birds including penguins lose their ability to know the directions when swimming in those southern oceans there.

There is so much that modern science can not explain. Captain Haddoc observed the southern horizon with his binoculars and told our reoorter that he has seen many peculiar starlike objects rising up in to the sky. He told too that those were no zeppelins nor any human made aeroplanes. Those lookes like saucers and they could make z-shaped movements before the clouds hide those flying objects.

Norwegian "Ghost Rocket" a Soviet Test?

Affiliated Press, Oslo

The Norwegian government denied yesterday any knowledge of a rumoured rocket crash in the Arctic Spitzbergen area. The denial comes after a US-based newspaper, the Daily Examiner, published an article by Dotty Kilgallen claiming that a "ghost rocket" such as has been sighted over Sweden in the last year, has been found in the area and is currently under investigation by an Anglo-American science team headed by General James Doolittle (U.S.A.F. ret.).

According to Norwegian government spokesman Bjarne Noe, no evidence of a crash has been recovered by the local authorities. Noe, however, said that the Norwegian installation in the northern town of Tromsoe has recently registered several Soviet rocket tests in the Arctic area. Noe went on to say that there was a "near certainty" any reports concerning rockets or aircraft in the north were in reality caused by unfortunate Soviet activity in the region.

A curiously similar incident this week in South America, near the Argentinian Tierra del Fuego was previously attributed to "a misunderstanding" by the Argentinian authorities and the US Navy. It is said the current prevalence of such reports is likely due to the continuing press coverage of the unidentified Swedish "rockets" in Scandinavia.

ISO makes us equal?

In february this year the organisaton ISO was founded. It's primarily concern is to provide international standards worldwide. There is some rumours though that the overall standardisation can make our lives dull and grey and stop all creativity and artistic freedom in the future.

The grim ghost of standardisation has though played a big role in mlitary industry and helped the allied to conquer the world and overcome nazis because they could produce better aeroplanes and bombs and vehicles in mass production.

Rising countries of the ruined Europe may have some big help if they standardise everything and start to use common language, english or esperanto. It is not so sure that the standardisation can lead to the everyday livings changes that dramatic though. The headquarters of the organisation is in Switzerland.

The name ISO is a bit critisized because some may think it means Imperialistic Stupid Order rather that International Standardisation Organisation.

Sport events 1947

Finnish athlete Tapio Rautavaara made his trial on javelin and that that is hardly promising much succes for the next years Olympics in London. The earlier finnish Olympic champions 1932 Matti Järvinen and 1936 in Berlin Gerhard Stöck hardly get any more followers to their magnificent victories.

It may be best that mr. Rautavaara concentrates on his career as a singer and in enetertainment business than trying to get succes in athletics.

When interviewed what to do next mr Rautavaara said: "Oh how small are the pieces of my bread, and spread around places in the world" (finnish: Oi kuinka pieninä palasina onkaan mun leipäni maailmalla". Then he went back to play his guitar and smile his shy smile.

U.S. Navy denies sighting of "Flying Saucers" during Antarctic operation

The rumoured sightings of "Flying Saucers" above the Antarctica during a training and exploration mission, called “Operation Highjump,” were firmly denied by U.S. Navy officials today.

The rumours were reported to have originated from letters sent home by a soldier serving on icebreaker Northwind, describing his experiences during guard duty. In the letters the soldier reported to have witnessed “peculiar lights in the sky” soon followed by the alleged “flying saucers”. According to descriptions, the objects were “very large” and moved in a "V" formation at the height of about ten thousand feet.

In a telephone interview, an officer of U.S. Navy commented: “There is reason to suspect that the sighting was a figment of imagination motivated by poor weather conditions and taxing environment. None of the other personnel – on Northwind or otherwise – witnessed anything out of the ordinary.”
