China Commemorates Anniversary of War Against Japanese Aggression [1931-1945]! (18.9.2023)

About 3 km from the museum lies the Beidaying (Northern Grand Barracks) site that the Japanese troops bombarded. It officially reopened to visitors as an exhibition hall after renovations at the end of 2021.

Through more than 400 historical photos, over 200 relics, electronic maps, scene restorations, panoramic sand tables and other modern techniques, visitors can revisit the history at the exhibition hall.

Wang Lei, a resident of Shenyang, who lives near the former site of the Beidaying Site, said, “There were a few ordinary bungalows here, but now the site has been turned into an exhibition hall. It is very important to remember the history of the war. We should let young people know that this is the place where our national calamity occurred.”

Japanese Scholar: “Truths in History Needs to be Told to More People!” (18.9.2023)

According to Matsuno, Japan’s WWII-related records have been transferred to the National Archives of Japan (NAJ) by the Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare, while some diplomatic and military-related documents are kept by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Defense.

Every once in a while, the NAJ would release batches of newly processed historical materials, among which Matsuno spotted the recently discovered documents.

The researcher pointed out that even when new materials are made available, they can remain obscure without substantial expertise and research skills, as searching for information using keywords like “Unit 731” or “epidemic prevention unit” yields little results.

Emails: St Kilda – Ancients British Celts, WWI, WWII, Human and Animal Tragedy! (17.9.2023)

Research suggests these people had lived on this isolated island for around 2000 years – as they spoke a very old Gaelic language mixed with the odd word of Latin and Norse! The island was attacked once by an Imperial German U-boat during Spring 1918 (which fired 60 artillery rounds at a British Telegraph Station) near the end of WWI. During WWII, after all the indigenous Celts had gone – my maternal grandfather – Arthur Gibson – (when serving in the Royal Navy on the Minesweeper – HMS Beaumaris Castle) was ordered onto the island of St Kilda (Hirta) after an aeroplane full of US Servicemen (who were returning home after fighting in Europe) -crashed into the high mountainside with no survivors.

DPRK: King Charles III of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland Sends Congratulatory Message to Comrade Kim Jong Un! (15.9.2023)

This Parliament achieved by inventing the idea of a ‘Constitutional’ monarch – essentially generating a civil service position – or ‘Officer’ – employed by Parliament and fulfilling the role of a completely powerless monarch! In this way, many ‘Royalists’ were satisfied and stopped all conspiracies to re-establish an absolute monarchy – and were even allowed to hunt-down and ‘murder’ nearly ALL previous representatives of Parliament who had served Cromwell, won power and ‘executed’ the last absolute British monarch! This trickery was bolstered by the ‘pretense’ that the ‘British Army’ – which only follows the orders of an elected Parliament – still ‘fights’ for a totalitarian monarch! Furthermore, although the British (Bourgeois) Parliament makes and enforces the ‘Law’ – this ‘Law’ is laughingly said to be enforced by the so-called ‘Crown Prosecution Service’!
