There's a recent article about early British planning (real - from National Archive material) at: https://thinpinstripedline.blogspot.com/2026/02/early-cold-war-british-nuclear.html

Professor, do you have any information as to the intended audience for this classified film? Or any information about who might have actually seen it? Ike?

I've read accounts of hearts being cut out of multiple thousands of captives on top of the great pyramid at Tenochtitlan (now called Mexico City). At that time, this project made perfect sense to those who planned the event, arranged the logistics well in advance, assigned the required numbers of personnel and gave the orders. Those leaders only did what was required for their great nation to survive & prosper, of course.

Can anyone else see some resemblances?
