I seem to recall Buzz Aldrin took a trip down to Antarctica a few years back for godknows what reason, but had to be evacuated as a medical emergency when he had a heart issue. Have also heard the rumours about deeply buried ancient tech base.
He also tweeted "Wevare all in danger. It is evil itself" with a picture of a pyramid in Antarctica. He deleted it but it was screenshot. And then he has a "medical emergency" and need to be evacuated?
I actually am glad you brought this up. I know the line of thinking and it’s never made sense to me. The explanation is that physically you can use the rotational force of earths rotation - how does this negate the force of gravitty?
Pythagoras theorem says you should spend about 9511 m/s to do that, so launching from equator to polar orbit would have about 100 kg less payload than launching from pole - the difference is way lower than the error margin of this reasoning (and, most probably, you’re ok with orbit which is not polar, but close to polar).
The gain really isn’t massive one way or the other - logistics is the concern folks at Johnson Space center told me when I inquired about this. Basically a retrograde orbit is actually favorable for a lot of stationary orbit matters as it allows a swiping across the earths surface as well as the earth rotates and a north to south orbit takes place.
Once again it’s not impossible and those with undiluted resource capacity - why not?

First place John Kerry went when he assumes a new office. He goes there each time.
Think about it.
If you wanted to make a break away civilization where would you go?
If you wanted a secret space station where it was easiest to exit the atmosphere and launch without anyone seeing where would you go?
A hell of a lot points to Antarctica.
Easiest to loan launch? Do you know anything about orbital mechanics? The poles are literally the most penalized launch points on the planet
