In 1989, COG whistleblower Fred Westerman sued FEMA for documents. The judge granted FEMA's motion for summary judgment. Whatever documents Fred was after have long since been destroyed as part of FEMA's records retention policy. cc:

Artist John Van Hamersveld talks about his cover design work on The Jefferson Airplane's CROWN OF CREATION (1968). The photographs of the bandmembers were taken by Hiro [1930-2021]. The mushroom cloud image came from the government, but it is not of the Hiroshima bomb explosion.

According to the Edward Beach biography "Beneath the Waves" by Edward Finch, Beach was such a fan of the Bob Newhart routine, "The Cruise of the USS Codfish," that he would play it over the PA system of the USS Triton during NATO exercises. cc:

Paperwork from wife killer and Sculthorpe Air Base master sergeant Marcus Marymont's [1921-2000] personnel file. At one point in his military career, he was assigned to the Armed Forces Special Weapons Program (AFSWP) for a year. If 'pilonidal cyst' sounds familiar, it is due to Rush Limbaugh...

Just got this guy's military personnel record. He was in an intelligence unit at Sculthorpe Air Base. Probably thought he had the whole situation wired.

Amateur thespian Marcus Marymont murdered his wife at Sculthorpe Air Base in 1958 and was sentenced to life. Yet somehow he managed to get out in July of 1967 - six years before his original parole eligibility date. He quickly remarried and resumed his acting career...
