So I was reading the wiki article about "The Stand" and found this a few clicks away.

Now every single bullshit claim about "X brown-country-leader using gas bioweapons against their civilians" is far far richer

Also this, "oh oopsie we developed a nervous gas for the nazis, we were deff trying to make insecticides" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerhard_Schrader

    Utahns living in St George used to go watch nuclear testing in the desert all the time and experienced tons of fallout blowing their way. Some people are still dealing with the health effects.

    And it’s popularly believed in Salt Lake that Dugway will be used as a calibration spot for the military to test their aim before they fire missiles for real. You can hear booms in the valley every once in a while from their training missions.
