Tens of Thousands of Koreans Forced to Work in Japan!

DPRK: Press Statement – Association of Korean Victims of WWII Forcible Drafting and Bereaved Families! (14.3.2025)

14/03/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

Hundreds of B-29 large bombers of the U.S. forces flew into the sky over Tokyo and Osaka of Japan on March 10 and 13, 1945, the end of the Pacific War ignited by the Japanese imperialists, made massive air raids while dropping incendiaries and other bombs at random.

At that time the Japanese imperialists kept Koreans in custody in groups, claiming that Koreans who had been subjected to subhuman maltreatment and humiliation, dangerous and toilsome labour could escape in the confusion of air raids. As a result, many Koreans died an accidental death.

According to “Study of War Responsibilities” No.53, the organ of the Japanese Data Center for War Responsibilities, on the damage of Korean people in the large-scale air raids on Tokyo, the war victims are 41 300 and the death toll will far exceed 10 000.

Hackman Latest – Santa Fe Police Call-In “Dog Voice Therspists” to Crack Case! (5.3.2025)

The Police have engaged Dog Voice Therspists – experts in a type of K-9 body and sign language – to communicate with the two surviving dogs to see if any information can be gleamed from their memory of events. It is early days and the process is slow – as it appears that the dogs belonged to Betsy – and prefer to communicate in Hawaiian-Japanese. The two experts currently available specialise in American-English and face an up-hill battle. The latest report suggests that both dogs assert that their grandparents do not know the grandparents of the translators – and therefore it would be impolite to share any intimate information regarding their owner – or the non-Japanese man she chose to live with. We will keep you updated as more information becomes available.

China: Manned Lunar Programme Adnvances for 2030 Moon Landing! (4.3.2025)

After reaching their pre-set orbital positions, the Lanyue lander and the Mengzhou vessel will rendezvous and dock. Two crew members will enter the lander, which will then undock and descend toward the lunar surface for an engine-assisted soft landing.

On the moon, the cosmonauts will drive a Tansuo rover to carry out scientific tasks and collect samples. Upon completion of their assignments, they will return to the Lanyue module, which will fly them back to their spaceship waiting in lunar orbit.

In the final stage, the astronauts will carry the samples into the Mengzhou spacecraft, which will then undock and carry the crew back to Earth.

To prepare for the challenging adventure, China has selected its fourth group of cosmonauts, who are currently training for lunar landing and surface operations.

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

03/03/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

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.

Cuba: Soviet “Operation Anadyr” [1962] – and Red Army Casualties! (25.2.2025)

25/02/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

On a more practical level, the 50,000 Soviet military and civilian personnel that were sent to Cuba, when preparing for the deployment, where issued with fur-hats, balaclavas, and skies, etc, together with arctic equipment – to fool the US Intelligence community. Instead of traversing to the cold north-east – the Soviet Red Army was in fact deploying to the tropical south-east. Following the 1956 betrayal of Joseph Stalin by Nikita Khrushchev (playing to the Western and Trotskyite hatred of genuine Marxist-Leninism) – the authentic Socialist processes and institutions of the USSR were robust and possessed strength in-depth. The destruction of the 1917 October Revolution in the USSR would take just 36-years to achieve (1956-1991). In the 1960s it was the USSR that aided Cuba and not Socialist China (Mao Zedong had condemned Khrushchev and upheld the good reputation of Joseph Stalin) – a stance which led to the Sino-Soviet Split (1956-1991). Cuba could have requested help from China – but chose not to at the time. A position condemned by numerous Maoist groups – such as the Workers’ Institute in the UK.

During his speech, the Defense Attaché, Captain 1st Rank Valery N. Zubarev, thanked their Cuban friends for their efforts to preserve the Mausoleum where the remains of Soviet soldiers who died fighting in Cuba rest, and highlighted the special and friendly nature of their bilateral relations. In his speech, the Head of the Directorate of Educational Institutions of the FAR, Brigadier General Juan Antonio Sánchez Fabré, highly valued the solidarity and assistance provided to the Island by the USSR since the first days of the triumph of the Cuban Revolution, as well as recalled the contribution of the USSR (and Russia) to the creation of the professional army of the Cuban Republic.
