WWII Home Guard Emplacement - Waverly Abbey - Farnham

UK: WWII Home Guard Fort Revisit – Waverly Abbey – Farnham! (23.5.2026)

Perhaps a platoon (30-men), or a “section” (10-men) would have manned this small fort. There was a small artillary gun at the front together with a machine-gun – whilst others defended the walls via “murder-holes” in the centre of the walls or high-up from the Parapet (Merlons) and Battlement. A team would man the front gun(s) – whilst the other soldiers would be positioned on the outside and inside of the “zig-zag” structure. The enemy would have to advance past Embrasures blasting with vicious fire-power. When entering the interior (over the dead bodies of the exterior guard) the enemy would be met with sharply changing brick structures all defended round blind-corners. The interior guard would fall back to the rear of the front-gun to make a final stand. The heavy guns would be destroyed to prevent capture. These young and old men (and some women) formed static infantry formations designed to stand their ground and buy time for the regular army to reach the location.

Prolonged Bed-Tilt Tests Effects of Gravity Upon Body!

China: Cosmoonaut Research & Training Centre Seeks Bedridden Volunteers for Up to 70,000 Yuan – No Mobile ‘Phones – Exclusions Apply! (8.5.2026)

Volunteers will be randomly assigned to either a control or exercise group and will remain in bed for about 15 to 30 days, with the total period not exceeding 60 days.

Participants must stay in either a six-degree head-down or head-up bed position while eating, sleeping and undergoing medical tests. Those in the exercise group will also complete scheduled daily workouts.

Researchers use the head-down position to mimic the redistribution of body fluids and reduced muscle activity experienced by cosmonauts in space.

The study aims to examine effects on cardiovascular function, bone density and muscle loss, and to test countermeasures for long-term missions.

Modern Russia & North Korea are Staunch Allies!

Russia: Korean People’s Army [as of 2024-2025 – 10 Months] Lost 101 Casualties in Kursk! (26.1.2026)

It is worth mentioning that the DPRK and Russia officially signed the DPRK-Russia Treaty on Comprehensive Strategic Partnership in 2024.

The treaty stipulates that when one of the two sides is at war due to armed aggression by an individual country or multiple countries, the other side shall immediately mobilize all means at its disposal to provide military and other assistance in accordance with Article 51 of the Charter of the United Nations and the laws of North Korea and Russia.

Based on this clause, North Korean forces were strictly limited to Russia Kursk Oblast to perform tasks within the territory, to avoid direct involvement in the Ukrainian mainland operation in Donbass.

Palestine is a mirror of our struggle against occupation and colonialism

PFLP: Colombian President Gustavo Petro: “Palestine Mirror of Struggle Against Occupation & Colonialism!” (16.11.2025)

Religion is a major contributing factor to all world conflicts (be it Judaism, Christianity, or Islam). Support for one side other another should not be taken to automatically imply siding with the religion of that preferred side. Under Biden, for instance, Colombia appeared untroubled by America’s official Russophobia and its support for Neo-Nazi Ukraine – but since the advent of Trump II’s overt and pronounced anti-Colombian racism at home (ICE) and abroad – perhaps this has switched the pendulum firmly in the other direction. Who knows? The Vatican has longevity and even got away with supporting Mussolini and Hitler before, during, and after WWII!

CSA Flyer Calling for Naval Volunteers!

CSA: Confederate Navy – Black & Foreign Workers! (15.10.2025)

The CSA Navy was primarily tasked with defending the waterways leading from the coastal areas (and the open sea) into the Southern hinterland from attack by the Union. The secondary mission was to venture out into the coastal areas and the open sea to attack any approaching Union ship. The problem with this latter requirement is that once CSA ships were drawn away from the protection of CSA estuary and coastal batteries – the Confederate ships were often sitting ducks. This being the case, and given that stocks of new iron were low, the secondary objective was only rarely exercised. Of course, Confederate submarines did do some surprising damage to Union shipping – but this technology was still new, quite often unreliable, and usually deadly to its own crew. Despite being side-lined in favour of the CSA Army – the CSA Navy (and those who administered it) did an extraordinarily good job against incredible odds. African-Americans, both free and still in slavery, assisted the CSA in its naval requirements.
