Undergrounders discuss the 5G Network and ask if humanity will still be around for 6G
The 5G network. And is it anything to worry about? (and will humanity still be around for 6G?!) These are quandaries we’ve put to members of our Underground Knowledge global discussion group on Goodreads.
Put simply 5G (Fifth-generation wireless) is the latest iteration of cellular technology, engineered to greatly increase the speed and responsiveness of wireless networks. And, as TechRadar.com explains,”5G networks are the next generation of mobile internet connectivity, offering faster speeds and more reliable connections on smartphones and other devices than ever before… The networks will help power a huge rise in Internet of Things technology, providing the infrastructure needed to carry huge amounts of data, allowing for a smarter and more connected world.”
As for 6G, the tech nerds tell us it’s terahertz-based wireless network which is expected to be available for commercial use in about 10 years.
It all sounds fairly harmless, doesn’t it? Well, not according to Undergrounders. Some of our Underground Knowledge group members are tech nerds, not to mention scientists and others of their ilk, and it turns out many of them have reservations about 5G and where the whole Fifth-generation wireless thingy is heading.

Readers taken into world’s deepest caves in ‘Underground Bases’
★★★★★ “This is book #7 in the Underground Knowledge Series and follows the same quality research and gathering of information as the other Underground books…After reading it, I’m left speechless and with only one thought: If truth really is stranger than fiction, then this book would be the poster child.” –Amazon Customer
In Underground Bases, book seven in our Underground Knowledge series, we advise readers that most underground bases most are built inside or directly above natural, pre-existing cave networks; and in our blog of October 26 we listed examples of some of these networks. Now we turn our attention to the extensive underground cave system known as Craighead Caverns, in Sweetwater, Tennessee.
The mysterious Lost Sea inside Craighead Caverns…
In the following excerpt from Underground Bases, we take our readers inside Craighead Caverns and we visit New Mexico’s Lechuguilla Cave, which is another example of the scale of underground cave systems:
According to Wikipedia, Craighead Caverns are “best known for containing the United States’ largest and the world’s second largest non-subglacial underground lake, The Lost Sea. In addition to the lake, the caverns contain an abundance of crystal clusters called anthodites, stalactites and stalagmites, plus a waterfall.”

Antisemitism and undermining of the truth of the Holocaust were motivators for book
★★★★★ “First-rate contribution to an important topic.” –Holocaust survivor Peter Kubisek
Our latest non-fiction book Debunking Holocaust Denial Theories is the result of the disturbing trend within some sectors of society to deny, diminish or otherwise undermine the historicity of the Holocaust – that cataclysmic event that saw the extermination of some six million Jews (as in the ethno-religious group of people) by the Nazis before and during World War Two.
Flashback to January 1945…The entrance to Auschwitz concentration camp.
Besides the obvious groups like white supremacists, neo-Nazis and elements of Islamic and Christian fundamentalist communities, there is perhaps one group in the 21st Century more responsible for perpetuating the myth that the Holocaust never happened or has been vastly exaggerated: conspiracy theorists.
We can speak with some authority regarding this as, besides being filmmakers and novelists, we have written a series of controversial non-fiction books that have led to us being loosely labeled conspiracy theorists. This despite the fact…

New release novel “a tale that pleads to be a film,” according to Amazon Hall of Fame Top 50 reviewer
Amazon reviews for THE DOGON INITIATIVE (The Deniables, Book 1) can be viewed at: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07NKTD515/
“A novel of epic length, THE DOGON INITIATIVE proves once again that the Morcans are a very fine writing team. This is a tale that pleads to be a film…Highly recommended.” – That’s Amazon Hall of Fame Top 50 reviewer Grady Harp’s take on the new release action-thriller by Lance & James Morcan, the authors of nine published novels.
Excerpts from Grady’s Amazon review follow:
The Morcans know how to deliver intrigue, both on scientific subjects and most assuredly on suspense thrillers. They invite us in with their moody Prologue which in addition to giving us insight in the tale to follow allows us to appreciate some fine African ‘history’. ‘The first full moon of the rainy season was a momentous occasion for the Dogon people of Mali. It marked the day, many countless moons ago when, according to legend at least, Moussa Diarra, one of their ancient forefathers, discovered…
