Moses Roper - Escaped US Slave!

Email: Stamford Mercury [October 1839] Remembering English Civility and the Case of Escaped African-Slave – “Moses Roper”!

The village my father comes from is in this area of Northamptonshire (Duddington) – where the Wyles family has lived since 1500 and before. When visiting Stamford Library in 2009 on a research trip – I acquired this article – originally stored on microfilm. Here is the story of Moses Roper – an African slave who escaped from the US and made his way to England – where he was given his freedom and an education. Of course, none of this makes up for slavery, but given the crimes we have committed against Africans, every ray of light matters!

Rolling Stone: The Horror of the Israeli Killing Field in Gaza! (18.8.2025)

Earlier this week, as President Donald Trump attempted to enforce a ceasefire between Israel and Iran, reports emerged that dozens of Palestinians — as many as 50 — as well as three aid workers, were killed by IDF gunfire while awaiting aid in Southern Gaza. Similar massacres are taking place on a near daily basis.

“They talk about using artillery on a junction full of civilians as if it’s normal,” one military source told Haaretz of a meeting they attended with leaders of the IDF’s Southern Command. “An entire conversation about whether it’s right or wrong to use artillery, without even asking why that weapon was needed in the first place. What concerns everyone is whether it’ll hurt our legitimacy to keep operating in Gaza. The moral aspect is practically non-existent. No one stops to ask why dozens of civilians looking for food are being killed every day.”

Markers of the callousness in the IDF’s operations within Gaza continue to elicit shock after more than a year of brutality. One source who spoke to Haaretz indicated that the militarized aid operation in his region of Gaza has a name: Operation Salted Fish.

China Hold US Accountable for Human Rights Abuses!

China: Report on 2024 US Human Rights Violations Released! (18.8.2024)

I have assisted the clarification of this Report by removing all the obvious usage of “American English” – replacing such errors with correct “British English”. On the face of it, it seems counter-productive to criticise the US System whilst using a deficient US interpretation of the English language to do it. Life is full of ironies – and to be fair – the original version of this vitally important text was written in the Chinese language. Long story short – the US is a war-mongering country – not a peace-loving State! America’s Human Right’s Record is appalling. This is partly due to the fact that the US uses Human Rights violations as a normal part of its foreign policy – knowing full-well that it controls the political system that could do something about it – but which is never allowed. Zionist Israel follows in the shadow of US Human Rights violations – together these two regimes will be remembered as amongst the very worse humanity has produced. Even more so – as neither regime looks like stopping its Human Rights abuses anytime soon.
