Murder at camp Delta

Murder at Camp Delta

2006. Sergeant Joseph Hickman is on his flight to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The U.S has set up a detention camp there to detained people and has been in operation since January 2002. Now, Sergeant Hickman is planned to be deployed here for roughly a year working as Security Guard. At first, everything seems normal. Besides the constant shouting from the detainees and the guards, not to mention that this place has been focus regarding Human’s Rights in 2003 because of Detainees going on Hunger Strike. Other than that, everything’s fine. Not for long. Sergeant Hickman was patrolling with his Squad when they decided that the heat and the sunlight are unbearable and went off-course their usual path to find some shades. They did find some shades and something else too. A building that isn’t presented anywhere on the official map of the entire camp. Well, that’s strange, why would the higher ranking hide something like this from them. He tried not to think about it other than just an abandon one but something odd about it seems to raise even more questions. Questions build up more and more and finally, on the night of June 9 2006, a white van exited the camp and headed off to where Sergeant Hickman knows the building is. A few hours later at midnight, the white van returned and headed straight to the clinic. A few hours later, reports of 3 dead detainees spread all over the camp. The 3 detainees were reported to have, supposedly, committed suicide but something about that felt wrong to Sergeant Hickman and that begins his search for the truth about this camp, and the secret behind the secret operation in the mysterious building.

Great book, the chapters are short, the storytelling is good, and my understanding of Guantanamo detention camp tripled and my knowledge of how horrible human can be expanded. This is a certified 9/10 books, 5 for storytelling, 3 for CIA involvement and 1 for Subway because there’s only 1 Subway on the island.

The Camp Squeah Experience (day 1)

Image
 Hello everyone.  I went on a 3 days camping trip at Camp Squeah with my class. Camp Squeah is a camping place 177 km north-east of Vancouver, it took 2 hours of driving to get there and it was a long trip but the view made up for it. Then there's my friend. There were an estimate total of 60 loud and energetic children on the bus so it was very loud and make it hard to concentrate on anything at all. I also consumed a sandwich every time the bus passed by a scene worth admiring. In total I consumed 2 sandwich because there were only 2 in the bag. When we arrived at camp, it was approximately 11:30 so everyone was hungry. They fed us a grilled cheese sandwiches and tomatoes soup. Then everyone went into the main lodge and the camp director, pretty sure his name was Nick, showed us how the camp works. Here's the breakdown: There's an inaccessible pool, a playground, cabins, a haunted church, a gym, an archery range a bathroom, activity courses and a field. Just to name a few...

The battle of Stalingrad

  The Battle of Stalingrad The Battle of Stalingrad, fought between August 23, 1942, and February 2, 1943, during World War II, is considered one of the most significant battles in history. It pitted the Axis powers, primarily Germany, against the Soviet Union, with the city of Stalingrad as the epicenter of the conflict. This battle and siege of the city was one of the deadliest battle in World War 2 history, over 1 million casualties on the Soviet Union side alone. The siege/battle raged for approximately five months and in those five months, there was a lot of learn on both side. For the German side, they learned the valuable lesson of to not invade the Soviet Union during the Winter, something that the French learned 130 years prior to the battle. But despite the Soviet Union emerging as victorious, was the 1.2 million death worth the trade? Was Stalin's order to hold the city using all forces available necessary to win the battle? And what about the decision of not letting the...

The Greater Vancouver Regional Science Fair experience

  The Greater Vancouver Regional Science Fair Hello again. So recently, I got into the Greater Vancouver Regional Science Fair or the GVRSF. I trust that you know where Vancouver is located and what a science fair is. If not, then there’s a reason. Anyhow, the whole thing was 3 days long and there was a lot of talking as you might expect. But we need to run that back, back 6 weeks ago when the science fair at my school happened. As a final test/exam in science, we need to make a project based on a question we came up with. I was partnered with my friend, Ethan, and together we come up a question. The requirement is that the question has to be answered using scientific research and it has to be related to science. So we got to work. The first part is to think of a question. I know that there are websites that give great suggestions for topics to do science fair on but I’ll say that 95% of those ideas are used at least once before. Also we wanted something original, a question th...
