The Cover-Up Story of Fort Prince Of Wales Star Fort
There is a very strange fort located in Canada's unforgiving remote north, on Hudson's Bay. What makes the fort strange, aside from its shape, are the very odd facts surrounding the fort. For example, Fort Prince Of Wales took 2 generations to build, more than 40 years, yet at it's very first battle they gave up without firing 1 shot ? Wait till you hear why.....

1960s Churchill Manitoba - Fort Churchill - Rocket Range - SAC
Early 1960s Churchill, Manitoba, Canada
In 2013 I transferred from VHS to digital these 8mm film home movies taken by Tom Collins (RCAF) and his wife Pat while he was stationed with his family at Fort Churchill in Churchill, Manitoba, which is on the western shores of Hudson Bay. I did the transfer as a retirement gift.
One of their kids, Sandy, the yougest girl in the home movies, who retired in 2013 from her career with Ontario Hydro, was best friends with my wife Tracy, from when they met in High Scool, in North Bay, where 28 U.S. nuclear strike BOMARC missles were deployed during the 1960s to early '70s, Canada's reward for cancelling and destroying our AVRO ARROW Supersonic Interceptor/Bomber.
Tragically Sandy (Collins) Audette passed away one year ago from cancer. We all unbearably miss you Sandy.
These home movies show daily life in and around Churchill in the early 1960s, but also plus a few surprises for most people. One really scary one, in my opinion.
Most Canadians have probably heard of Hudson Bay and Churchill Manitoba, the Polar Bear Capital of the World, even if they don't know where it is, and of the Beluga Whales there, and the nearby old Hudson's Bay Company post, maybe some even know of the Churchill Rocket Range.
What most 'civilian' people, including Canadians, probably don't know is that for a few years in the late 1950s and early 1960s, a very hot time during the Cold War, ( google Cuban Missile Crisis ).
Churchill Manitoba was a U.S. SAC Mole Hole, one of 6 in Canada, for the U.S. Strategic Air Command Nuclear Strike Forces.
Nor do most know that a squadron of Canadian CF-100 interceptors was also stationed there, nor that the alleged non-military scientific rocket research on 'Aurora Borealis' (Northern Lights) was in fact purposed to fighting World War III.
As was the technology of Canada's first orbital satellites, the Allouette I and II.
Which for those who know anything about the whole subject, should realize that stationing a squadron of CF-100s to patrol the Arctic was total insanity, that their use of up there proved yet again.
It was already well known and well proved that those CF-100s were not at all suited to the job. Which is why Canada decided to build the AVRO ARROW and did such a marvelous job of that plane it exceeded requirements by light-years and beat practically everything else in the skies of the day including everything the Soviets and Americans had. It could still outfly a lot of stuff today even without further improvements and more powerful versions.
So, instead the Arrow was destroyed and replaced by BOMARC Missles, which required the support of CF-100s, which were not up to the job. THEN the BOMARCs were scrapped too because neither were they.
The perceived enemy, the Soviet Union and it's allies, knew all about Churchill. The only people the secrets were being kept from was -
the rest of us.
Indeed, everything about the public's perception of Churchill Manitoba since 1942 till even as late as the 1980s, has been a U.S. military fabrication to keep us from knowing what really went on there.
Even the Dene Chipewyan 1st Nations group that lived there, some still do, was re-located from their original homes at Duck Lake to further the fabricated public illusion and perception. Thirty percent of them died of home sickness and starvation as a direct result of that re-location.
Doubt me ?
Watch Tom's home movies, then read the following webpage, and google for more info.
or read the webpage then watch the home movies, your choice.
I hope it scares you, like it scared me. Is there anything of what they, the global military industrial complex, tell us that we can trust, of the past, or the present, or the future ?
I very much doubt it.

A Journey from Prince of Wales's Fort in Hudson's Bay to the Northern Ocean
First off, I'm going to apologize, only once - here -, for my accent and pronounciation which sadly we'll have to live with as I'm not a native English speaker. I hope it won't deter you from, and instead may serve as an encouragement to readers to work on (or co-produce with me, let me know!), the auditory representation of Hearne's great work 'A Journey from Prince of Wales's Fort in Hudson's Bay to the Northern Ocean'.
On 1 July 1767 Hearne chiseled his name on smooth, glaciated stone at Sloop's Cove near Fort Prince of Wales where it remains today. In the years following, Hearne would journey into the far northern interior of Canada three times in search of a mine which was said to contain a vast store of copper.
In absence of an audiobook I decided to put work in making one myself. These video's serve me personally as a motivation to complete this project step by step.
Although some work is put into the visuals I present along with the audio, I do not mean to put too much effort into them.
Working with the setting of Assassins Creed 3 seemed most fitting because the location, in North America, and season offer the closest parallels with the setting in which Hearne's journeys took place.
I'm very much interested in your feedback, positive or negative, preferably constructive! Likes and/or comments are greatly appreciated.

Train from Winnipeg to Churchill, Canada - Feb 2017
This was part of a Natural Habitat tour to Churchill. 2 Days/Nights on the train. The train goes very slow- it was somewhat fast right after Winnipeg but got quite slow the further North we got, due to the condition of the tracks. Many times we were going backwards, I guess moving to a siding or changing tracks. We made a lot of stops too.

Living in the west for some also meant doom. Life was never easy you had to grow your own food build wells and travel via horseback. These pioneers buried within this cemetery raised cattle, fruits, vegetables on the ranch which also provided a means for other pioneers to survive who traveled the Emigrant trail found in this region.
