Rainbow Missile Silo Vision

-photo by DC Gregory C.2015-

As this event started Deeling was already preparing to photograph this missile silo by the side of the road, a live relic of the 60's secret "Holding The Public Hostage To Annihilation" dictum detailed in the 2012 book THE MISSILE NEXT DOOR

Saturday April 4th, 2015

We were up earlier watching the Red Moon eclipse. Then on the way home from Bozeman driving up I-15 shortly before sunset, along the Missouri River, towards Ulm, Montana, we witnessed a truly amazing real life personal observation in the region of "Ohtahku", the same general area where another unusual April thunderstorm hit during a Peace Pipe Ceremony when the First Peoples Buffalo Jump State Park was blessed and consecrated, as told elsewhere on this website and blog.

True story Blood Red Moon day evening:

While traveling north between Cascade and Ulm, as we came up the rise to the top of the ridge before Ulm, a rainbow rose out of the armed nuclear missile silo just to the right of, and really close to, the freeway. The Rainbow proceeded through the whole valley over a matter of minutes as we traveled along in gentle rainstorm. It bathed all in the path of its glorious prism like a tornado of color. You could see the end of the rainbow all the time as its bottom glow permeated buildings, trees, the sand dunes, the river, everything. It was a visual smudging of violated sacred ground.

We followed it for 5 minutes or so while "Crow Testament" played in the car (off the Ghost Town Sound lp that was already running). As we made the turn through Ulm and up the next hill the mystic rainbow crossed the freeway where another car had stopped to witness the end of the rainbow that then kissed the cliffs as it slowly panned along the last remnant slice of the world's largest buffalo jump and, in a micro-second, disappeared. This area is the site of the Plains Indians largest summer's end gatherings of all tribes, massive in scope, that went on for centuries.

This rarity ranks with the rainbow lightning we witnessed shooting from the tops of thunder clouds into the upper atmosphere for hours driving back from Glacier Park with Grandma Dorothy 20 or so years ago. That event is referenced in the Ghost Town Sound lp song "Summer Is Comin' " in the quick line "Rainbow lightning shoots stratosphere".

World One Radio features Ghost Town Sound

Doug Wendt's pioneering reggae commercial radio program MIDNIGHT DREAD returned with new, nightly midnight over-the-air and internet broadcasts on World One radio in May 2012. The ground-breaking reggae radio program is back with scarce and fresh selections, all based in the classic, progressive, roots rock reggae fashion that first made MIDNIGHT DREAD influential and popular. Doug's 21st century version of his show also includes several episodes of his GHOST TOWN SOUND Radio specials, an outgrowth of his new live band of the same name where the red, black, and white unite in a unique blend of Reggae, Dub Poetry, Native American and Western styles. GHOST TOWN SOUND Radio also airs often at noon in Wendt's BEST OF ALL WORLDS programs on the bay area's only full-time World Music station KECG, public radio in El Cerrito, California.

KECG's current Station Manager/Educator Corey Mason was inspired by Doug's long-running and highly successful Kennel Club World Beat VJ shows in San Francisco to create a full time world music radio station known as World One Radio. Mason's vision for the East Bay radio outlet only recently reached complete fruition. World One also carries Doug's NATIVE SON RISING, music by and for indigenous peoples, now in its 12th season, at 6am every day. KECG has made major improvements in its two towers' signals at 88.1FM in El Cerrito and 97.7FM in San Pablo in order to more fully cover the bay area's inner rim. It's also finally started streaming globally, online through the Listen Live button at worldoneradio.org or directly via Shoutcast.com by searching worldOneradio.

24/7/365, that's World One Radio featuring kultimultural musics with a message for all generations, curated thoughtfully by real deejays, acting locally, rippling globally. Perhaps the world's only true full time radio station to actually feature all the world's music united in word, sound, power, and place. Songs from GHOST TOWN SOUND can be heard through-out all programming.

Doug's every day of the year show times on World One:
Native Son Rising: 6-7am Pacific Time
Best of All Worlds: Noon-1:30pm Pacific Time
Midnight Dread: Midnight-1:30am Pacific Time
