Northants: King’s Cliffe Home Guard! (5.11.2023)

Even during the Churchill-generated hysteria of the 1950s – which saw the UK reactivate the ‘Civil Defence’ concept as part of the US anti-intellectual ‘Cold War’ propaganda – the Home Guard was never reconstructed. Churchill refused to trust a ‘Socialist’ entity that empowered the workers to put up a fight against the Soviet Union – a former ally of the UK! Much of this ‘Socialist’ history of the Home Guard is hidden behind a thin veneer of military officialdom, with such and such a ‘Battalion’, this ‘Company’, or that ‘Platoon’! The point is that Britain needed the working-class at its best during WWII and the Home Guard became a highly effective vehicle to realise this objective.

Ningxia: China’s Disabled People Strive to Achieve Self-Reliance! (5.11.2023)

The disabled community in Ningxia has garnered significant social attention for its impressive achievements in sports. During the recently concluded 4th Asian Para Games held in Hangzhou, athletes from Ningxia achieved notable success.

To nurture the artistic talents of disabled youths, the regional government has also decided to give a subsidy of 10,000 yuan to each of such individuals with abilities in singing, dance, opera and painting.

Ma Juan, a student from Xiji County in Ningxia, is a gifted painter who has received government financial assistance to attend an art school. All her family members are disabled due to a genetic disease.

“It is our responsibility to ensure she has the opportunity to pursue a career,” said Bai Xuegui, the county’s Party chief.

Veteran Star Medal: Alfred Gregory Wyles – WWII British Army Service [1940-1946]! (4.11.2023)

Although he joined the Royal Warwickshire Regiment – famous for its ‘Last Stand’ at Dunkirk – due to his ‘sharp-shooting’ ability he was soon transferred to the 1st Buckinghamshire Battalion (the ‘Light Bobs’) of the Oxford and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry (Territorial Army) where he was placed in an Anti-Tank Platoon. During D-Day, the ‘Light Bobs’ landed in the first-waves of Allied troops that hit ‘Sword Beach’. His Unit was tasked with fighting their way in-land ten-miles to Caen – where it was to relieve D Company of the Ox & Bucks Ligyt Infantry (Professional) – which had landed as ‘Glider Troops’ around midnight of June 6th, 1944. Due to these required military objectives – my grandfather trained with the Glider Troops around the Exeter Canal System – which resembled the canal system around Caen. Indeed, this association has sometimes ‘confused’ exactly what function my grandfather fulfilled due to him possessing a ‘Winged Pegasus’ badge!

BMA (UK): Examples of Anti-China Racism in Dad’s Army Scripts (1968-1977) – [31/10/23]

The second round-up was perpetuated by the incumbent Labour Party in 1946 – and is the reason a ‘Chinatown’ nolonger exists in East London. During this ‘purge’ – around 2,000 Chinese people were ‘kidnapped’ by the Police (usually ‘males’ on their way to work early in the morning) – and forcibly placed on ships bound for China. Those who had ‘White’ (English) partners were visited by the British Police and Social Workers and were told that they were ‘sexual deviants’ whose ‘mixed-race’ children will be taken away and placed into ‘Care’ – if any legal challenge was raised against this government-sponsored ethnic cleansing.

Lebanon: Palestinian Popular Women & Prisoner Committees in Nahr al-Bared – Organize “Stand in Solidarity” Rallies with Gaza and Prisoners! (3.11.2023)

This was achieved in the presence of the Head of the Women’s Committees in Lebanon – Imtiaz Hallaq – and a number of other important women and their companions in the Women’s Committees operating in Sector A. A speech given by the Women’s Committees was given by Manal Abdel Rahim – a member of the Women’s Committees area in Al-Bared – saluted the people of Gaza for their legendary steadfastness, endurance, determination and will-power in the face of the Zionist military war machine! This is the case despite the massacres and genocide of our people, indicating that the Battle of Al-Aqsa Flood is only the beginning of liberation and the establishment of the Palestinian State, with Jerusalem as its capital, and that victory is inevitably coming!

Russia: President Putin “Revokes” Russia’s Ratification of “Nuclear Test Ban” Treaty! (3.11.2023)

The Kremlin had stated earlier that Russia’s withdrawal from the treaty would not imply the restoration of nuclear tests.

Chairman of the State Duma Vyacheslav Volodin said Moscow had been waiting for Washington to ratify the treaty for 23 years, but the United States had demonstrated its irresponsible approach towards global security issues.

The CTBT is a multilateral agreement that bans all nuclear explosion tests conducted for peaceful or military purposes.
