Since there aren’t any extraterrestrials , what was happening in the summer of ‘52 to warrant a distraction of fear porn?
IT WAS FUCKING ELECTION YEAR.
Dwight D Eisenhower and Adlai Stevenson were ruling it out campaigning. How does the military get their guy into office? The first republican to win since 1928? And escalate the Cold War with Russia? And keep the Korean War running?
Americas 1952 president was the military machine man for the job!
