Inside the Tunnels

UK: Inside the London’s Abandoned Tunnels – Under Clapham South Northern Line Tube Station! (3.3.2025)

Despite the difficult circumstances, in an oral history played out loud to visitors, Margaret reminisces fondly about her time in the shelter.

“I had a wonderful time,” she explains. “I was an only child, and I made friends. We used to rush up and down the tunnels.

“People were all in the same boat down there. It was a great leveller. Whether you were rich, poor or whatever you were. If you were homeless.

“People were very kind to each other, much more than they are now. It’s funny isn’t it, that it takes a war to do that.”

After the end of the conflict, the shelters continued to be used as cheap hotel accommodation costing three shillings a night, equivalent to £4 today.

Guests at Clapham South included those who arrived in Britain from the Caribbean as part of the Windrush Generation.

But in 1956, after a fire at the Goodge Street station shelter, the Government decided to abandon the tunnels.

Today, they are mainly used as archive storage, although the tunnels under Clapham Common once housed a hydroponic farm.

For anyone who wants to check out the shelter themselves, new dates for the ‘Hidden London’ tour were released earlier this week, with tickets costing £38.

China’s Mars Rover Data Suggests Existence of Ancient Oceans on Mars! (3.3.2025)

If an ocean once existed in this region, climate changes could have trapped large amounts of water in the form of subsurface ice, which holds great potential for future Mars base water resources, significantly reducing the cost of construction and maintenance.

Fang emphasized that the ancient oceanic sediments preserve records of Mars’ climatic history. Studying these sediments could help people understand how the planet transitioned from a warm, wet world to a cold, arid one. This knowledge could guide efforts to terraform Mars into a long-term sustainable human habitation, according to Fang.

Fang mentioned that Zhurong landed in the southern part of Utopia Planitia in mid-May 2021. It is equipped with a subsurface penetrating radar to explore underground structures and potential water ice deposits.

Neo-Nazi Ukraine: Zelensky is a War Criminal – Arrest & Try Him! (2.3.2025)

The Klitschko brothers went on to dominate at light-heavy and heavy-weight – winning and defending world titles. Both men made millions out of boxing and had retired long before the US-backed (Neo-Nazi) “Maidan” uprising in 2014. By the time the Neo-Nazism they believed in gained power – both men were active in local politics – with Vladimir being elected as Mayor of Kyiv (I say “elected” with tongue in cheek – as the first edict of the Maidan Junta was to abolish liberal democracy and any form of voting – with no election happening since that day to this). As far as I am concerned, the Klitschko brothers are War Criminals who should be arrested and subject to a War Crime Trial. Their boxing record should be expunged and all their titles cancelled – with their wealth confiscated as being the product of Neo-Nazi atrocities. Furthermore, this action should be enacted toward ALL active and retired Ukrainian boxers – including “Oleksandr Usyk” the current heavy-weight champion who has won close fights due to the action of corrupt boxing judges. Arrest these judges as well.

Support the USSR - and Russia!

Russia’s Fight Against the Glorification of Neo-Nazism! (1.3.2025)

The “collective West”, in particular the countries of the European Union, where all the above-mentioned violations occur on a systematic basis, has abandoned its last attempts to cover up its refusal to support the resolution with absurd justifications about freedom of assembly and speech and has spoken out against international efforts to combat aggressive manifestations of racism and xenophobia.

The position of Germany, Italy and Japan, whose vote against the resolution is a dangerous trend, deserves condemnation. taking into account the “black” pages in the history of the 20th century of these states and makes one think about how sincere they are in their repentance for the numerous war crimes and crimes against humanity , as well as genocide, committed during the Second World War.

Evidnce of Fire-Making in China!

China: Evidence of 7000 Year-Old Fire -Starting Discovered! (1.3.2025)

Additionally, a circular groove, likely used for tying a rope, was found on one end of the fireboard, suggesting it was designed for easy carrying or hanging.

The Caoyangang site, spanning over 80,000 square metres, has unearthed a wealth of items beyond the fire-making tools. More than 3,000 items, including pottery, bone tools, wooden objects, animal remains from deer, pigs, cattle, dogs, and various birds, and aquatic plant remains, have been discovered at the site.

These findings show a vivid picture of the daily lives and aesthetic sensibilities of the ancient people who once thrived in the region, archaeologists said.

Battle of Chancellorsville

CSA: Would a Confederate Victory Have Led to a Socialist Revolution? (28.2.2025)

However, the Southern ideas of honour and their so-called aristocratic thinking were overblown and these ideas actually sometimes played to the South’s benefit, as the men in the South followed natural leaders and often times appointed them on their own (via popular vote). All too often, in the North, Officers were often political appointees – desk-bound Officers who hadn’t seen a battlefield in years – or ever. Or men who simply bought their way into a General’s uniform. One of the more stereotypical views of the South was the aforementioned backward, backwoodsman. Think about that for a moment. Yes – a significant portion of the Confederate Army was poor, uneducated, and illiterate. Some left-leaning historians have said  – with some accuracy – that the poor Whites of the South had more in common with the slaves – than they did with the leading families who owned most of the land and the fabulous estates like the fictional “Tara” in Gone With the Wind.
