The Felix Project finds more than half of working families using food banks

UK: The Felix Project – More Than Half of Working Families Using Food Banks! (12.12.2025)

It has resulted in The Felix Project seeing even more demand from food banks for help, Rachel Ledwith is Head of Community at The Felix Project, she said: “These results clearly show that things are not getting better for families across London. It is appalling that more and more parents can only put food on their table because of a food bank and so many are being forced to skip meals, send their children to school hungry and cut back on other things to cover their essential food bills. The Felix Project rescues as much food as it can, this year we are on course to give out the equivalent of 35 million meals, but this is not enough to satisfy demand. That is why we are launching our The Empty Plate Emergency Appeal and asking people to show their support.”

China: Brain-Computer-Interface Gives Hope to Paralyzed People! (12.12.2025)

“For example, if a patient sees a flame and wants to move away, that ‘wanting’ signal is captured by the chip and converted into a command to move the hand,” he added.

While the foundational BCI research began decades ago in the West, Chinese teams are now rapidly advancing the technology.

In July 2025, Nature reported that “China is rising swiftly in the field of brain-computer interfaces”, with devices that even outperform Elon Musk’s Neuralink project in certain aspects.

“Although China does not have as long a research history in the field as the United States, development is extremely fast,” Qu said, noting China’s advantages in medical infrastructure and its population scale for testing.

Patients’ hopes lifted

The BCI device developed by Shanghai StairMed is particularly remarkable. With 64 electrodes — each only 1 percent of the width of a human hair — it is one of the smallest and least invasive implantable BCIs in the world. The first male recipient has already used it to play chess and video racing games.

Power to the People! Maduro Leads the Way!

Venezuela: “Don’t Worry – Be Happy!” – Worker-President Maduro Defies Trump is Extraordinary Display of Humanitarian Leadership! (11.12.2025)

All these States resisted and opposed the fascism of Zionist Israel (which serves to de-stabilise the Middle East in favour of US interests) – so it was important for both Tel Aviv and Washington to put an end to this collective resistance. Meanwhile, wherever there is oil and Socialism – the US must steal the former and destroy the latter. This is what the military build-up around Venezuela is all about. An invasion of Venezuela will not hinder the US-control of illegal drugs around the world – but probably stimulate its trade. It is important for Washington that its own poor are kept in a drug-induced stupor that prevents any meaningful engagement in the physical world – and thus prevents the development of any type of effective Socialism. This is how the “Land of the Free” manipulates the freedom of the people it holds power over. Maduro has it right – throw scorn at ALL fascist power! We, the people, possess the world in our hands!
