Library of Congress“Dead Horse of Confederate Colonel; both killed at Battle of Antietam,” by Alexander Gardner

CSA: Piles of Thread-Bare Confederates at Antietam [Sharpsburg] – Notes on Their Sacrifice! (31.1.2025)

The Union Army paid the farmer $1 per dead Confederate body and the farmer made $60 out of the deal. He dug a new well in a different place for the cost of $2 – making a wartime profit of $58. No one knows the names of these Confederate soldiers – and if it was not for a report being made by the Union soldiers concerned – no one would know about these men today. Of course, there was great bravery on both sides – but the spin placed on the war by the winners has skewed how the Confederacy is viewed today. These Confederate men (and boys) advanced into the Union fire with the utmost discipline and determination. They believed 100% in their cause – which was for the freedom of their individual countries (termed “States”). At the time, this war was not only about slavery – but has been made ONLY about slavery since 1865. Many believed the federalisation of the United States was a betrayal of the 1776 War of Independence – and nothing short of a great evil!

Disability in Ancient Egypt!

Disability History Month: British Museum – Eight Histories of Disabled People in Ancient Egypt! (18.12.2024)

Disabled people have always been present and active in society. Many specialists and experts around the world have started to investigate representations and lived experiences of disability and care in the past through archaeology and museum collections. The objects and remains highlighted here demonstrate some of the stories we are uncovering and hint at the discoveries that might be made in the future. We hope that these stories will demonstrate to everyone that disabled people have always existed and been part of the story of humanity, and empower disabled people to see themselves in history, and to continue making it, thousands of years into the future.

Bristol Mass Grave - 2024

Bristol Housing Site: Disturbing Mass Grave Uncovered! (24.10.2024)

During that period, foreign fighters, largely sailors captured during conflicts with France, Spain, Holland and the early United States were held there and, it would appear, often died there.

Significantly the site’s use for this pre dates the creation of the Norman Cross camp in Huntingdonshire, which is sometimes described as the world’s first purpose built prisoner of war camp.

In the 19th century it was then used as a hospital, including in 1832 when Bristol was hit by a cholera outbreak and in 1837 it was turned into a Victorian Workhouse, which were kind of like homeless shelters but notoriously brutal, providing people with food and shelter in exchange for manual labour.

It’s thought the remains are likely to date from each of these three periods.

A statement sent to Greatest Hits Radio by housing developer Vistry, says research on the remains will “contribute to understanding of Bristol’s social and economic history”.

This Print of the Turin Shroud is a Big Seller!

Catholic Church Hijacks “Science” – Wraps It in a Turin Shroud! (21.8.2024)

A Catholic friend of mine once said that if the Turin Shroud was real – it would be locked-up securely in the deepest vault the Vatican possessed – rather than being displayed on a wall of an old Church situated down an Italian back-street! I suspect he is right as the Roman Catholic Church never gives-up the chance of acquiring as much worldly wealth as possible whilst lending its support to fascist regimes around the world. If a burial cloth really did exist that was used to bury the physical body of Jesus Christ around 33 CE – then there would be a tangible piece of evidence that the man now known as “Jesus Christ” did really exist in the physical world and was not a fabrication of Greek travellers who thought they might like to be a part of the “Chosen Ones”. Yes – Jesus Christ was illiterate, and his direct disciples were shepherds and fishermen – they were also people of Jewish religious and cultural origin. Why is there no early text relating to Jesus Christ in the Hebrew language – the language of his ethnicity?

Manchester Airport: Attempted Arrest Footage! (28.7.2024)

The question is whether the actions of the Police were lawful and legal? The civilian suspects are not innocent and the above footage is damning – doing their cause no good whatsoever. However, even if the behaviour of the suspects was violsnt and threatening, does this mean that the Police can do anything they want? The answer is no. Just as soldiers and NHS staff – both employees of the government (as Civil Servants) – are expected to conform to strict levels of discipline – so are serving Police officers.

Chinese Language Media Hide the Face of the Victim Out of Respect!

London: Horse of the King’s Guard “Bites” Chinese Tourist – British Vlogger “Laughs”! (21.7.2024)

The tourists are attracted by the pomp and ceremony attached to the methods of combat last practiced on the battlefield around 150 years ago! The British Royal Family are actually protected by the armed Royalty and Specialist Protection (RaSP) Unit of the Met Police – which includes the Royalty Protection Group (Special 0perations 14) and Specialist Protection Command (Special Operations 1) – SO14 and SO1. These men and women are highly trained, do not stand-out – and will shoot a suspect dead in seconds if the need arises – needless to say no photographs are allowed. This is a very different reality to modern soldiers having to obey government orders by dressing-up in old uniforms and posing for tourists – tourists who are then (racially) criticised for daring to approach! Apologies to this injured woman and her associates. The British Army has high standards of discipline – standards which were not upheld during this incident.
