According to the very limited portions of this highly classified report permitted to be commented on by various ministries, the American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) was published as ASA X3.4 in 1963—uses a 7-bit binary code to represent text and other characters within computers, communications equipment, and other devices—was based on the earlier teleprinter encoding systems—and was actually designed for use with teletypes.
One of the first users of ASCII encoding, this report details, was the IBM AN/FSQ-31 SAC Data Processing System, which was the United States Air Force command, control, and coordination system for the Cold War nuclear weapon holding Strategic Air Command (SAC)—was likewise used in the ITT 465L Strategic Air Command Control System, which was the network of computer and communication systems for command and control of Strategic Air Command combat aircraft, refueling tankers, ballistic missiles—as well as the Cold War era IBM 4020 Military Computer—all of which received ASCII encoded nuclear weapon launch orders through the United States Air Force’s first high-speed data communications network Automatic Digital Network (AUTODIN) deployed in 1962.
The Cold War years of 1962 and 1963 when the US Air Force deployed AUTODIN using ASCII encoding for authorizing the release of nuclear weapons, this report continues, were the most perilous in modern human history because of the failed 1961 invasion of Cuba by rogue elements within the Pentagon and CIA known as the “Bay of Pigs” fiasco—a failed invasion said to have caused President John Kennedy to say he “wanted to splinter the CIA. in a thousand pieces and scatter it to the winds”—did see President Kennedy forcing CIA Director Allen Dulles and his entourage, including Deputy Director for Plans Richard M. Bissell Jr. and Deputy Director Charles Cabell, to all resign—all of which was followed by the October Crisis of 1962 (aka Cuban Missile Crisis) that brought the world to the brink of a nuclear holocaust.
In the midst of the October Crisis of 1962, this report further details, the Pentagon presented to President Kennedy their war plan called “Operation Northwoods”—a plan that called for the Central Intelligence Agency or other US government operatives to both stage and actually commit acts of terrorism against American military and civilian targets to be blamed on Cuba and cause a war, and many believe included a nuke strike on Washington D.C.—that President Kennedy not only outright rejected, he then ordered that the nuclear launch codes be changed despite objections from the Strategic Air Command—after which President Kennedy had Defense Secretary Robert McNamara “basically force” the new nuclear launch code system on senior US military commanders—but then saw these US military commanders shockingly giving themselves their own private nuclear launch code of the 8-digit number 00000000—that was followed by President Kennedy being publically executed on 22 November 1963 before he could expose these crimes and rally the American people around him.
Wow- just wow! Good to know because I spent most of 4th grade in the school hallway hunkered under my dads marine issued blanket with a half gallon water bottle waiting for nuclear strikes from Cuba ( New Orleans) not that we’d have survived?
And then JFK was murdered the next year- Catholic area— lots of crying— met Jim Garrison in person years later and my adult son took a college course in Conspiracy/Warren report in the mid 90’s in Louisiana
