So great. I lived there as a child in the 1960s. Being so far from our school, we were bussed in in a military van. At the time I hated it because I was so far from my friends, but looking back on it, that was a wonderful time in my life. I was so sad when I hear it had been demolished. :(

the ending was so powerful, really makes me think about the passage of time and where the world is going

I first heard about Camp X after reading about Igor Gouzenko. He defected to Canada 🇨🇦 and his family apparently lived at Camp X for some while.

Nice. History I didn't know about until recently. Camp X and hydra station linking to WW2 layer on krypto sculpture. Obfuscation with history layers. Similar the light dark play of luxor and Germany. German history I had no clue about until recently. The city during WW2 was being remodeled after luxor. So much rich history. That they keyed parts of the cipher is wild and mind melting. So much information in So little. Unpacking is a chore, but with checks and directions, it becomes clear. There are a lot of WW2 things I never knew about before. Alexander Y station, good fish/phish, typeX, ect... Thank you for sharing the video and history.

I close my eyes Remembering a sun ( O, U substitution K2 underground ) (son ) setting on a lake In a time That no longer seems real.
A reference to Churchill painting. A work of art. To go with Churchill bunker Underground location. From open text K0. Nice interplay.

Confident my dad was there. He was a MacGyver type of guy. Right age, curcumstance, and visited mom & sister from somewhere and had transportation issues sneaking back into some military base with no consequences from guard. Is a story told by older siblings.

There is a new firearm shop in Ontario named Camp X. 😀 I am glad that there are still people who try to commemorate the forgotten history.
By the way, where can I find the 2014 movie "Camp X"? All I found was "Camp X-ray" which is an American movie. 😞

Where's PPCLI and RCMP? Something called School 191 from Sherbrooke, QC all hush hush!

Thumbs down for epilepsy inducing visual effect that is unnecessary: the difference between contemporary images and historical images is already sufficient.
