Priests call for leadership and clear decisions on same-sex blessings and clergy same-sex civil marriage

UK: House of Bishops – Men in Dresses Dither Over Same-Sex Blessings in “Living in Love and Faith” Tussle! (23.12.2025)

On Friday, the Bishop of St Edmundsbury & Ipswich, Dr Joanne Grenfell, said that she “approached Tuesday’s meeting of the House of Bishops with the voices of LGBTQI+ colleagues and friends on my heart.

“So many have written to me to ask that the House of Bishops does not forget that our work is not just part of a church process, but fundamentally affects their lives and those of their loved ones,” she said.

The Bishop quoted a recent sermon by the Dean of St Edmundsbury, the Very Revd Joe Hawes, in which he called on the Bishops to act (News, 15 December).

Decisions “cannot be paused or stalled”, Dr Grenfell said: “There are matters of justice that need attention now, particularly around ordinands and clergy in same-sex marriages.”

UK: Heidi Bachram’s Racism Exposed – as Judge Quashes Attempted Malicious & Misleading Prosecution – Brought By “Campaign Against Antisemitism”! (23.12.2025)

Like most mainstream media outlets in the UK, the Guardian routinely supports all forms of Zionist terrorism – and has said virtually nothing about the “Genocide” in Gaza – or the UN, ICC, or ICJ Judgements condemning Israel. This is the same newspaper that has encouraged the Hong Kong Rioters, agreed with their resettlement in the UK, and fully supported Neo-Nazi Ukraine and its war of aggression in Donbass. The list of Guardian working-class betrayals is endless. This being the case, and once the scene has been set, it is extraordinary that the Guardian has properly reported the Zionist CAA in its attempt to abuse an innocent Black man who tried to defend himself against “White” Jewish racism expressed against him on social media. Of course, the Judge has quashed the case – but as usual – the Zionist offender has got away with it with no punishment. Zionism was declared a form of “White Supremacy” practiced by middle-class Jews in 1975 by the UN.

China: Xinhua’s Think Tank Launches New Book on U.S. Mind Colonization, Military & Hegemony! (23.12.2025)

Published by Xinhua Publishing House, the book is a compilation of two think tank reports, namely one titled “Colonization of the Mind — The Means, Roots, and Global Perils of U.S. Cognitive Warfare” and the other “Origins, Facts and Perils of U.S. Military Hegemony.”

The report on U.S. mind colonization reveals the fact that the United States has long eroded other countries’ sovereignty through ideological penetration, undermining fairness and justice in international perceptions. The report was first released during the Global South Media and Think Tank Forum 2025 on Sept. 7.

The report on U.S. military hegemony explores the ideological roots, tools, and practices of U.S. military hegemony, as well as the damage it has inflicted on global security and stability. The report was first released on Sept. 5, 2023, and was later revised in light of the latest developments before being included in the newly published book.

UK: Media Exhibits “Anti-China” Bias in Fake News Outburst! (23.12.2025)

Waymo, owned by Google’s parent company Alphabet, which operates in San Francisco, has already started testing autonomous taxis in London.

Saber Fallah, a professor of safe AI and autonomy at the University of Surrey, told Metro that the new taxis are likely to be required to have a safety driver inside because of London’s complex road layout, making them autonomous vehicles but not fully driverless.

‘I’m pretty sure they are not going to be fully driverless. The recommendation is going to include a safety driver in the car, so it is not fully driverless,’ he said, adding that the goal of self-driving taxis is to ‘make more profit for the company by not paying drivers and not having to share their profits with the drivers.’

Denmark: Digital ID Demands Abolition of Traditional Postal Service After 400 Years! (17.12.2025)

A source close to the transport ministry insisted there would not be any “practical difference” in the new year – because people would still be able to send and receive letters, they would simply do so through a different company. Any significance around the change, they said, was purely “sentimental”.

But others have said there is an irreversible finality to it. Magnus Restofte, the director of the Enigma postal, the telecommunications and communications museum in Copenhagen, said in the event that it were no longer possible to use digital communications “It’s actually quite difficult to turn back [to physical post]. We can’t go back to what it was. Also, take into consideration we are one of the most digitalised countries in the world.”

Under the MitID scheme – Denmark’s national digital ID system, used for everything from online banking to signing documents electronically and booking a doctor’s appointment – all official communications from authorities are automatically sent via “digital post” rather than by mail.

Stalin Peace Prize

Venezuela: JULIAN ASSANGE FILES CRIMINAL CHARGES AGAINST NOBEL FOUNDATION – “TURNING THE PEACE PRIZE INTO AN INSTRUMENT OF WAR”! (17.12.2025)

A “Stalin Peace Prize” was developed in the USSR post-1945 to counter the corruption inherent in the Scandinavian Nobel Prize – particularly in light of the fact that Sweden and Norway were occupied by Nazi Germany during WWII (with many thousands of Scandinavian men volunteering for Hitler’s “SS” Divisions that killed so many millions in the Soviet Union and elsewhere). Following Khrushchev’s betrayal of Stalin in 1956 – the Stalin Peace Prize was replaced with the “Lenin Peace Prize” – with those having previously won it demeaned as receiving an award from a working-class leader the capitalist West hated. Indeed, like Portugal, Sweden (although officially “neutral” doing WWII) surreptitiously supported Nazi Germany by supplying important raw materials (such as oil) to the Hitlerite war machine. Like Amnesty International, the Nobel Prize is nothing but an instrument of capitalist aggression and imperialist war. It a typically “inverted” manner – the Nobel Prize facilitates war between human groupings – whilst ridiculously claiming it is pursuing the exact opposite of its true intention. The Nobel Prize creates the conditions for bourgeois war whilst claiming the killing it is encouraging is the genuine bedrock of world-peace. If the Nobel Prize was an individual – he or she would be detained for severe mental health issues. Sweden and Norway have absolutely NOTHING to teach the world about “peace” and the very fact that the Nobel Prize has chosen to empower the most far-right President the US has ever elected – speak volumes!
