The Hermetica and Human Imagination! (3.6.2024)

In the Egyptian Hermetica, for instance, the god Toth (often through the commentary of Hermes) equates thinking about distant places (by imagining different physical environs in the mind) was exactly the same in principle as the individual travelling to these destinations – despite nothing physically taking place. Imagining structures in the mind, for Toth, was tantamount to creating something from nothing (every creationist story), and achieving movement without going anywhere. All theistic and psychedelic traditions make ample use of the ability to “imagine” – whilst the argument continues to as the proper relationship of the imagination to the physical world.

China Focus: Foreign Scientists Thank China for Sharing Lunar Exploration Opportunity! (3.6.2024)

The lander of the Chang’e-6 spacecraft also carried an instrument, called Negative Ions on the Lunar Surface (NILS), developed by the ESA/Sweden to the moon, which will be used to detect negative ions and study the interaction between plasma and the lunar surface.

Neil Melville-Kenney, NILS technical officer of the ESA, said the CNSA’s initiative to invite international partners to participate in the Chang’e-6 mission is very much appreciated by the international community.

“It’s a very impressive mission, a very ambitious mission. So we are very pleased to be a part of it. And the collaboration has gone very smoothly. Now we are waiting for the payload to be turned on so that we can get our first data,” he said.

“It’s very important to have international cooperation for space exploration. I think space exploration encourages us to consider our planet as one and our people as one. And it’s important that we work together as we start to explore the solar system more and more. Together we can achieve greater things,” he added.

Socialism NOT Nationalism!

On How the Bourgeoisie Weaponises Immigration! (2.6.2024)

Such groups are traitors seeking to materially enrich themselves with promises of free houses, cars, school-places, money, and jobs – all elements of British society now denied to British citizens born or naturalised in the UK. Whereas the right will always oppose immigration regardless of its origin – the left must be very careful In its distinguishing of the issue at hand so that the matter can be dialectically rectified. Many ethnic Chinese people living in the Britain reject the Tory policy of resettling thousands of Hong Kong rioters in the UK – but this voice is ignored as being part of the general bourgeois policy of demonising ALL Chinese opinion accept those which supports the US! Simply accepting ALL immigration on the grounds that it might be “racist” to criticise it in anyway ignores the bourgeois-generated problem that exists. Opposing fascism disguised as migration – is an attack upon fascism – and should not be used as an excuse for an attack upon the principle of migrants or migration itself.

UK: Labour Party “Hides” Friends of Israel List! (1.6.2024)

Israeli embassy front group Labour Friends of Israel has deleted its public list of “Parliamentary supporters” ahead of the UK’s upcoming general election on 4 July.

The deletion appears to be a way to protect pro-Israel Labour candidates from electorial challengers on their left flank.

But copies of the list made as recently as 5 April are still available on internet archives. You can also read a full copy of the most recent list at the end of this article.

It seems likely that the list will be updated and republished later this year after the election.

Labour Friends of Israel did not respond to a request for comment.

The deletion came to light on Monday when right-wing Labour lawmaker Jess Phillips denied in a posting on X (formerly Twitter) that she was a “member” of the group or had “taken money.”

“I’m not a member of LFI I don’t know what being a member even is,” she wrote. It is unclear whether Phillips is denying having taken money from Labour Friends of Israel or from the Israel lobby generally.
