The value tanked under nationalization, Champion had insider info on all of America's rail assets and their timed return to private hands. Here is a video about their surprisingly pro employe mag with a note about its overseas distribution by the state department as a model of the US way of life 4/4

In 65 my grandfather was president of Champion's paper division under the leadership of Karl Bendetsen author of executive order 9066. Karl also ran all of America's railroads when they were nationalized from 50 to 52 after which he joined Champion which was a heavy investor in railroad bonds 3/4

Very cool and relevant to the genealogical research im doing into my grandfather. He was involved in cold war intelligence and a lot of the oddness in his business career makes sense if he was a NOC or witting asset of some sort.

Loitering munitions is an interesting advancement but someone needs to pick up Gerald Bull's mantle. Nothing says king of battle like a 1,322 pound payload going 600 miles using 9 metric tons of propellant.

The Novels's of E Howard Hunt as a Roman à clef for covert funding mechanisms. Dietrich novels encode proprietary funding as villain plots matching real covert structures: layering, shells, covers. Near-total across the series. #booksky @zachsdorfman.bsky.social @wylienewmark.bsky.social

Perplexity.ai explaining why it its unethical to and wont provide TATP explosive synthesis instructions and then lying about ever having done so.
