Operation Flicker was a 2009 FBI investigation into child pornography but they found out 5,200 government and military officials had viewed or downloaded such content.

That is more shocking than anything.

That's horrific, I assume they can't track or trace any of the guilty party?

Or is it a case of sweeping it under the carpet.

Lavon Affair was a botched Israeli operation to bomb Egyptian, American and British official buildings in Egypt and to blame Egypt to keep British military in Egypt. 

I feel for Egypt, the country of such history should be much more significant in Arab/Muslim region and Mediterranean/African region, but it must always remain in perpetual choas and a client state of petro Shieks because it's in immediate security zone of Israel and most populous Arab state having democracy is not some petro Shieks will like.

They have a problem for me.

If they go truly democratic you get the Muslim Brotherhood and that leads to possibly supporting Assad and Iran which is probably why their Arab Spring was crushed.

They may have trouble anyway due to hydroelectric dams being built in countries upstream in the Nile reducing  their ability to obtain sufficient usable water in the near future.

Oldest Shark in the World - 512 Year Old Greenland Shark

 

 

Yeah, but what I meant was that sharks as a species are older than rings of Saturn :P Sharks have existed on Earth for over 450 million years, whereas the rings of Saturn are estimated to have formed around 100 million years ago... In fact, sharks are also older than trees, and they have survived four of the five mass extinctions - the only animal to do so.

Operation Dropshot was a 1949 Dept of Defense plan to drop 300 nuclear and 30,000 conventional weapons on Soviet Union by 1957, but never executed due to other side also getting nukes. When Kennedy was briefed on the plan he was like wtf and reportedly said " we call ourselves a human race "
