Danny Lemoi - Fake Drugs!

US: How Danny Lemoi Killed Himself Via the US Far-Right [Anti-Intellectual] Movement! (5.4.2025)

Socialism is ignored – capitalism is embraced. Although science is correct, the average US citizen cannot afford to penetrate the pay-wall that separates a humanity in need – from humanity that possesses the knowledge and skill to put right the many ailments and diseases that torment the human mind and body. No money equals no treatment. Millions of Americans live with acute and chronic pain every day of their lives – blaming themselves for having no money or not being able to afford the relevant treatment. Americans die of starvation surrounded by food, Americans die of exposure surrounded by clothing and housing, Americans die of ignorance surrounded by educational institutes, and Americans die of medical neglect surrounded by hospitals and medical clinics. Although the US is a very rich country and possesses every single element needed for a continued and sustained good-life – perhaps two-thirds of the US population is excluded from this wealth through poverty. This poverty is a product of the inherent injustice and inequality inherent within the US capitalist system. One-third of the US population leads a parasitic (privileged) existence – living-off the labour and surplus profit earned by the other (impoverished) two-thirds.

Sutton Cemetery - Qingming 2025!

UK: Qingming (清明) [2025] – “Sweeping & Cleaning the Grave” of the Chinese Ancestors! (5.4.2025)

At both times of the year the graves are repaired and made new – whilst one or two of the favourite things are provided – such as a glass of brandy and a cigarette. Some Chinese families – although not ours – make paper clothing which is burnt at the graveside in Autumn – alongside “Spirit Money” – or pretend banknotes, etc. Others take real food which is placed on a table in hygienic containers – offered as an oblation – and consumed later. Our two daughters used clothes and cleaning sprays to remove the dirt and shine the stone exterior of the graves. The bright flowers are then cut to fit into the holders. We often bring a flag of China and Buddhist pictures and statues. Today, I also carried a Ch’an Dao Martial Arts Association badge and a pair of Nunchaku. We lit six incense-sticks – three for each grave – and bowed-down three-tips (clapping the hands three-times). We have been performing these rituals since the early 1990s in the UK.

CSA Oliver Hardy - Confederate Army

CSA: Oliver Hardy’s “Confederate” History! (5.4.2025)

The comedy duo – “Laurel and Hardy” (Stan Laurel being from the UK) still make millions of people laugh all the time. It would seem that like many people living in the Southern States, the family of Oliver Hardy were originally from England. I find the Confederacy to be a complex period of US history – often misrepresented by prevailing narratives. It is as if the dominant narrative-writers want to hide something that was present in the South between 1861-1865 – but which is inconvenient to know today. My own view is that there was Revolutionary dialectics in operation that could have led the US in an entirely different direction. I find that this observation is just as unpopular with neo-Confederates as it is with the Federal government in Washington DC!
