Seems like a significant day!!


August 24, 1968: Operation Canopus was the codename of the first French two-stage thermonuclear test. It was conducted by the Pacific Carrier Battle Group (nicknamed Alfa Force) at the Pacific Experiments Centre near Fangataufa atoll, French Polynesia. The test made France the fifth country to test a thermonuclear device after the United States, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom and China. Foreign assistance: Purchased heavy water from Norway to make tritium. Suspended from a tethered balloon 1,706 feet above the atoll, the device exploded with a yield of 2.6 Megatons.

It now appears—for the first time in history–that a country has broken the peaceful-use pledge. It also appears that a second country may have broken it, that a third is threatening to break it, and that the civilian exports of a fourth—possibly made without the pledge—have gone freely into bombs. The culprits are, respectively, Israel, France, India, and Norway. Israel has been making plutonium with Norwegian heavy water for more than 20 years and, according to recent evidence, putting the plutonium into bombs; India has been making plutonium with U.S. heavy water for about the same period and is threatening to put that plutonium into bombs. Norway has exported heavy water that France has used to build a thermonuclear arsenal. If these countries can undermine the pledge and avoid the consequences, there is no reason why others will not do the same.


France built the reactor and extraction plant secretly in the Negev desert, at a site called Dimona. There is no doubt that France meant to allow Israel to make nuclear weapons. Francis Perrin, high commissioner of the French atomic energy agency from 1951 to 1970, so admitted in an interview published on October 12, 1986, in the Sunday Times of London. Perrin said that after World War II, the United States agreed to allow the French scientists who had worked on the Manhattan Project to apply their knowledge at home, provided they kept it secret. “We considered we could give the secrets to Israel provided they kept it to themselves,” Perrin recalled in the interview. He confirmed the construction of the reactor and the extraction plant, and the cooperation on weapons design. The transactions and their related documents are presented in detail in La deux bombes (1982), a book by the French journalist Pierre Pean.

To understand the transfer of heavy water to Israel, several points must be kept in mind:

    The reactor at Dimona is Israel’s only means of making plutonium, and plutonium is Israel’s primary nuclear weapon material. Dimona also is the only facility in Israel that uses heavy water in metric ton quantities. When Dimona opened in 1963, the world’s main heavy water suppliers were the United States and Norway. Israel was producing heavy water only in laboratory quantities. Therefore, it was physically impossible to start Dimona without U.S. or Norwegian heavy water.

    France and Canada also possessed heavy water in the early 1960s, but Canada has never exported any heavy water to Israel, and all of France’s heavy water had been imported previously from the United States and Norway. France pledged not to re-export it without permission. Thus even if Israel had received a secret shipment from France, the water would have been diverted illegally from U.S. or Norwegian stocks, giving Israel no right to use it.

    Therefore, all the heavy water Israel imported for Dimona must have come initially from the United States and Norway.

    Reactors like the one at Dimona lose only about .5 per cent of their heavy water each year. So if U.S. or Norwegian heavy water went to Dimona in 1963, more than 85 per cent of it is still there today.

France’s Stunning News

On May 22, 1980, the French national assembly received a remarkable document from the commission on national defense and the armed forces. The commission reported that France was making tritium in two reactors called Celestin I and Celestin II. According to the French government’s nuclear agency, Cogema, Celestin I went critical—that is, achieved a chain reaction—on May 15, 1967, and Celestin II on October 30, 1968. Cogema noted that the reactors were making tritium “used for thermonuclear armaments.” Tritium produces fusion in thermonuclear bombs and is bled into the core of fission bombs to boost or vary their yields. The report disclosed that the reactors were cooled and moderated by heavy water. That was stunning news because when they were started, France had no heavy water of its own to put into them.

Lengthy story continues: Heavy Water Cheaters

The 1998 film Godzilla uses the "Canopus" test as the basis for the origin of the mutated monster. However, the footage in the movie is actually of the United States "Baker" Test, part of Operation Crossroads in 1946. This was the famous underwater nuke detonation you see in many movies.


August 24, 1814: British troops led by Major-General Robert Ross invaded Washington, D.C. during the War of 1812. The Burning of Washington ensued, with British forces setting fire to key government buildings, including the White House and Capitol. Less than four days after the attack began, God decided to save Washington and drive out the British troops by sending a heavy thunderstorm, possibly a hurricane and a tornado which extinguished the fires, though it caused further destruction, but it did send the British packing back to their storm beaten ships. The British occupation of Washington only lasted for roughly 26 hours. This event marked a significant episode in the war, leaving the US capital in ruins. Today, some delusional wacky traitors believe the J6 insurrection circus was worse.

Moral Pieces, in Prose and Verse (1815) by Lydia Sigourney

THE CONFLAGRATION AT WASHINGTON.

WHAT sounds are these, that on the hollow blast
Of startled midnight reach the list'ning ear?
They seem like shouts of conquest, join'd with shrieks
Of mad despair, and the confusion wild
Of those that fear or fly. And see the flames
In spiry columns burst thro' wreaths of smoke
Redd'ning the brow of night. O scene of woe!
That pile superb, whose lofty dome arose

With pomp and pride, aspiring to the skies,
Whose spacious halls once shone, with all that art
Or wealth could give, to dazzle and adorn,
A blazing pyramid of fire is seen.
Now its last ray illumes the glowing heavens,
Darts, sickens, and expires. What ruthless hand
Could spread the flames of vengeance, thus to blast,
Destroy, and desolate. Embers conceal'd
Of hatred and disunion, cherish'd long
By treachery's secret breath, and madly fir'd
By the wild torch of rashness, sprung to life.

Eternal Justice saw, and was incens'd;

And suffer'd them to rage; and lo! the flame
Has caught our fairest domes; it burns—it spreads,
And who shall quench it? Or with pow'rless strain,
Or hand so weak as mine, shall dare to paint
The horrors of that scene? The costly pile
Sinking in sheets of fire, and clouds of smoke;
The haste of flight, the agony of fear;
Pale apprehension, shuddering regret,
And misery, and tears? Ah! who shall bear
These shameful tidings, to our distant foes,
Nor shrink with anguish at his Country's wound?
Who, to the nations of the earth, shall tell
Her infamy, who once with noble front
Rank'd high among them? Who of all her sons
Can bear to gaze upon her eye, and say,
"Thy beauty is destroy'd, thy strength is slain?"
And when in future days, with downcast eyes,

Around these blacken'd walls they lingering stray,
And trace the mouldering ruins, and exclaim,
With pausing wonder, "Tell us, why was this?"
The burning blush will dye the hearer's cheek,
Grief chain the tongue! Then let oblivion's veil
In deepest folds forever shroud the scene!
Snatch the recording pen, from him who seeks
To make memorial of his country's shame;
From her stain'd annals rend the page unblest;
Break off th' unfinished lay; bid memory sleep,
Or hide her tablet from a future age.

Yet Oh! my Country! Who can hide thy loss?
Forget thy wounds, or mitigate thy woe?
Around is darkness, and within is pain;
Then let us look above! There is a ray
That gleams from thence, an angel voice that cries,
"Lift up the eye of faith; there yet remains
"Hope for the righteous; for the weary, rest;
"For the oppressor, vengeance." Still there reigns
A Judge Supreme, whom nothing can elude.
And though his step is sometimes on the deeps,
Shrouded in darkness, all his ways are peace,
Are wisdom, truth, and mercy. Tho' his throne
Is canopied with clouds, yet the meek eye,
Now drown'd in tears, and dim with mists of time,
Shall see, at last, its base was ever fix'd
On righteousness, and everlasting love.

In 1855, John D. Rockefeller got his first job. He was 16, making 50 cents a day bookkeeping. 2 years later...

August 24, 1857: Panic of 1857 - NY branch of Ohio Life Insurance & Trust Company failed, setting off one of the most severe economic crises in U.S. history. Stocks plunged, along with banks & businesses across nation and the collapse of Railroad Farm Mortgage (RRFM) bonds, led to depression lasting 3 years until beginning of Civil War.



Many panicked and fled finance. But not 18-year-old Rockefeller. He learned that speculation destroys far more wealth than it builds. He survived the calamities of the Civil War, financial crises of 1873, panic of 1893 & 1907, and Wall Street Crash of 1929.


August 24, 1923: The Somerset, Pa., PTA is bitterly divided over a proposed school dress code banning short skirts and bobbed hair. "Flappers" walk out of the meeting, chanting:
"I can show my shoulders,
I can show my knees.
I’m a free-born American
And can show what I please."




August 24, 1923: A.C. Nielsen Co. is founded in Chicago by 25-year-old engineer Arthur C. Nielsen to do product research on generators and conveyor belts. The firm soon expands into broader industrial and consumer market surveys, with a sideline on measuring radio audiences.

In 1946, Nielsen Co. invents the Audimeter, a device that can be installed in radios to record and transmit data on what stations are being heard. This transforms the ratings profession, which had relied on mail and phone surveys to find out what Americans were listening to.



Audimeters are placed in the sets of willing participants, selected to represent a cross-section of households. In 1950, Nielsen acquires Hooper, previously the leader in radio ratings; the meters are then adapted to measure TV sets, an even more lucrative source of ratings. From 1952 and through the '50s Nielsen expanded with U.S. headquarters building by 60% and going worldwide, opening offices in Netherlands, New Zealand, Belgium, Germany, in 1954 Nielsen Station Index Service formed to provide local market TV audience measurement in U.S., European central operations facility in Switzerland (1955), Ireland, Sweden, Canada, and France...and continues expanding through the 60s.

Nielsen Ratings, or "the Nielsens," are make-or-break for the networks for much of the 20th century. The fracturing of TV in the digital era makes it impossible for any one index to rank shows, but Nielsen remains a going concern as it tracks both traditional and streaming TV.

August 24, 1995: Microsoft released Windows 95. I miss those beautiful BSOD's. Not!



That video is from a sales team event in Hawaii that predates the launch.
The Windows 95 kickoff was hosted by Jay Leno at Microsoft headquarters. Leno even drove a mouse car. Along with millions spent for "Start Me Up," celebrities were hired for the launch. It was a $300 million marketing campaign. As for the Windows 95 startup sound...Brian Eno was hired to compose music that was inspiring, universal, optimistic, futuristic, sentimental, emotional...and 3.25 seconds long. Microsoft ended up selling an estimated 1 million copies within the first 4 days. And 40 million copies in the first year.

LOL, note the Bob Lazar poster in this Win95 start-up clip:

At the time, less than 10% of U.S. homes had online access.
