April 18, 1906: Xerox was founded in Rochester, New York as the Haloid Photographic Company by Joseph C. Wilson. The Xerox 914 photocopier introduced to the public on September 16, 1959, on TV, transformed office work by making info easy to share. For that reason, Admiral Thomas H. Moorer (1912-2004) said:
"The Xerox machine is one of the biggest threats to national security ever devised," says retired Admiral Thomas Moorer. "Even if documents are numbered and accounted for, it is easy to slip one out over lunch and copy it quickly."

In the 2017 film The Post, Daniel Ellsberg, portrayed by Matthew Rhys, is seen using a Xerox 914 to copy the Pentagon Papers.
Admiral Moorer was implicated in a spy ring within the White House during the Nixon administration, but never prosecuted.
April 18, 1947: Operation Big Bang aka Operation British Bang, the largest non-nuclear man-made explosion of that time, destroys bunkers and military installations on the North Sea island of Heligoland, Germany. After the war, the victorious Britons wanted to erase the Zapatistan of the Nazis off the map. The monstrous 7400 tons of surplus World War II explosives & ammunition detonation succeeded, but the island remained.
On April 18, 1945 the Royal Air Force commenced a bombing raid on Heligoland with about 1,000 bombers after the approximately 2,500 inhabitants were evacuated by the Wehrmacht garrison. In order to deny the uninhabited islands to the Germans as a potential naval base, the British began preparations to blow up the bunkers and military installations on Heligoland in 1947.
Exactly two years after the bombing raid, the Royal Navy detonated the bomb. The British stacked about 4,000 torpedo heads, nearly 9,000 depth charges and over 91,000 shells of various calibres. The blast was set off by British engineers aboard HMS Lasso from a distance of about 10 miles. The British staged this blast for the German public; attendance was mandatory and there was a separate brochure about it.
The tremors could be felt in Cuxhaven, 43 miles away. Around 20 journalists watched directly from a ship. Depending which journo one believes the enormous cloud rose about 5 miles and according to other sources, half mile into the air. Judge for yourself in video below. The explosion shook the island base to a depth of several miles.

Aftermath::
The island survived the blast, but the southern tip of the island, the rubble of which makes up today's Mittelland, was blown away. Parts of the cliff also collapsed, and many craters were created. The harbour facilities and coastal protection walls remained intact, and the surviving civil air raid shelters today attract up to 10,000 tourists annually. The only building to survive the blast was the flak tower, today's Heligoland Lighthouse. The detonation could be registered seismographically in Germany and used to study the Earth's crust. In 1952, after protests by the residents, the people of Heligoland were allowed to repopulate the island. Today, on the anniversary of the demolition, a memorial service is held in the civil defence bunker.
Today, Germany's only offshore island is a tourist paradise with hotels, white beaches and seals. Helgoland belongs to Schleswig-Holstein state of Germany and attracts almost 500,000 visitors per year. For the approximately 1500 Helgoland, the anniversary of the demolition is a day of remembrance, which many celebrate with a service in silence - in the still accessible part of the old civil protection bunker.
Kaboom!!!

If these kids were Palestinian they’d be using this as justification to bomb an elementary school in Gaza. War is hell but this is insane in this day. I guess it's going to be another long war or not, as Ukraine may cease to exist very soon when nobody left to fight. Well, it's not 'secret' anymore...

The Ukraine war has been a propaganda war for 3+ years. Difficult to know what to believe, but the EU leaders prefer it go on & on for years. Installing peace keeper troops in Ukraine while at same wanting to use $200+ billion in seized Russian assets to rearm Europe means in the eyes of Russia they do NOT want the war to end. Insane.
