SEOUL, Aug. 27 (Xinhua) — The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) has reopened its borders to its citizens staying abroad, a major step to ease its anti-epidemic border control measures, the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported Sunday.

The State Emergency Epidemic Prevention Headquarters issued an announcement on Saturday, saying DPRK citizens abroad “have been allowed to return home,” considering the eased worldwide pandemic situation.

Those returned will be put under proper medical observation at quarantine wards for a week.

The DPRK was among the first countries to impose strict border control since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020.

London: St James Palace! (25.8.2023)

We had to head South-West from Trafalgar Square around 0.6 miles toward Buckingham Palace. Our intention was to show the children – Mei-An and Kai-Lin – how the soldiers carry-out their duties in an orderly and well-organised manner. Although the frontline ‘Guards’ had been drawn back away from the crowds decades ago at Buckingham Palace – I knew that the general public could still get reasonable close at the nearby St James Palace – but on the day of our visit – the soldiers were not to be seen in their usual places! Indeed, most were absent except for the side-gate which is used for the main entrance (pictured above) – but even here – the soldiers had been pulled-back behind the metal fence and away from the public.

London (Green Park): Canada Memorial (WWI & WWII) – Memorial du Canada! (25.8.2023)

This sculptured memorial is constructed of red granite which forms a ‘walkway’ divided into two distinct halves. One half represents Britain whilst the other half represents Canada and the two country’s joint participation in WWI and WWII. The inclined sculpture is inset with 506 bronze maple leaves (the Canadian emblem) and the country’s coat of arms. Water flows across the sloping surface and creates an illusion of floating leaves. Situated to the rear of the Canada Memorial is Buckingham Palaces,

Central American Parliament Dismisses Taiwan Presence for PRC Official! (23.8.2023)

It has again proven that the attempts by Taiwan’s Democratic Progressive Party authorities to solicit external support for “Taiwan independence” are doomed to fail, said Zhu Fenglian, a spokesperson for the State Council Taiwan Affairs Office.

Reiterating that there is only one China in the world and Taiwan is part of China, Zhu said that the one-China principle is a consensus in the international community that has the overwhelming support of the people and represents an irresistible trend of the times.

USSR: Highest Tribute of Respect Paid to President FD Roosevelt [1882-1945]! (21.8.2023)

(Indeed, during 1918 – British and German troops fought side by side in Revolutionary Russia – both armies attempting to kill Lenin – whilst their comrades continued to ‘kill’ one another in the mud of France and Belgium). Werth also seems to be discussing different phases of this ‘international’ intervention of Revolutionary Russia – referring to the conflict as happening between 1918-1921, 1919-1920 and 1919-1921, etc. This (unexplained) demarcation demonstrates just how difficult and complex this invasion was – despite Werth referring to it as ‘half-hearted’. This ‘half-hearted’ Western invasion of Revolutionary Russia cost the lives of 10.5 million Russians (and Russian-allied) people in what was to later become the ‘Soviet Union’ (a political integration of 15 countries).

Richard Baxell and the “Bourgeois” Revisionism of the International Brigades Memorial Trust (UK)! (19.8.2023)

19/08/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

To this end, Richard Baxell is NO different to David Irving – although the former still awaits a trial for ‘Proletariat Holocaust Denial’! Alas, this trial will only happen when the working-class seizes the means of production – then we can hold all these ‘liars’ accountable for the false propaganda they have been spreading the decades! Getting some of our history correct – whilst deliberately falsifying other aspects will NOT be a viable defence! People like Baxell (and organisations like the IBMT) are guilty of denying the ‘Working-Class Holocaust’! Once we realised that the IBA was a ‘White’, bourgeois establishment catering toward ahistorical revisionism and fascistic apology – we left pretty smartish! The Chinese members of my family were made to feel uncomfortable with the manner they were ‘starred’ at when we turned-up for commemorations. Imagine that – one of the greatest anti-fascist (working-class) movements in British history being infiltrated by the very racist attitudes the British heroes of the past were fighting to put a stop to!
