UK: Why Museum’s Last Mummy Has Been Taken-Off Display! (14.9.2026)

When I was in Egypt during the mid-1990s, I found the local Egyptians would allow virtually anything just as long as you gave them money. In airports that served Westerners – the toilets would have no toilet-paper. Egyptian “attendants” would discreetly wait until a Westerner locked the door of a convenience and then knock on the door and offer sheets of toilet paper delivered under the door for a specified amount (usually Egyptian pound notes). This is the level of cheapness we are dealing with. Virtually anything was for sale in Islamic Egypt as the Arabs who control the country now have nothing to do with pyramid-building or the Pharaohs. We saw mummy after mummy on display as we traversed around (Egypt remains the only country where I was questioned by the Airport Authorities – and asked to explain “why” I was in a “mixed-ethnicity” marriage). Knowing what I know about the shallowness of contemporary Egyptian culture – I find the pretentious bourgeois attitude relayed below to be bordering on the laughable. Why would modern Egyptians care about the remains of a different ethnic group, whose religion they do not follow or care about? Muslims over the recent centuries have damaged the pyramids they now exploit to a remarkable degree. It is funny the BBC does mention this aspect.

Soviet Pilots with Their UK-Provided Spitfires!

UK: Debunking an Anti-Soviet Episode of the 1970s BBC Drama “Secret Army”! (13.9.2026)

The “Line” is comprised of petty bourgeois hotel, restaurant, and cafe owners, etc, and these people refuse to relate to unionised workers. The series conforms to Cold War sentiment as the Belgians are depicted as confronting the Nazi Germans and subtly resisting their allies – the Communists. And yet in reality, it was the Communists who carried-out most of the fighting, took most of the risks, and suffered the highest casualty rates. The Communist Party of France was funded and directed, in-part, from the USSR and the UK. I would say the series treads an ideological tightrope very successfully. The height of the rather silly anti-Soviet script writing appears in Series 2, Episode 2, entitled “Russian Roulette”. This story supposedly depicts two airmen (from the Soviet Red Airforce) shot-down over Eastern Germany during 1943.

From Red Moon to Vostochny: 10 Achievements of Russian Cosmonautics

USSR: 10 Achievements of Soviet & Russian Cosmonautics! (11.9.2026)

On October 4, 1957, the Soviet Union, which had just recovered from the war, amazed the world with news from the field of high technology – the Soviets, who were reproached for technological backwardness, managed to be the first in the world to launch a satellite into space. True, it was originally planned to send a more complex device into orbit, but the data that the United States would launch its satellite in 1958 forced Korolev to hurry. The mass of the Sputnik-1 spacecraft, which the American press nicknamed the “Red Moon”, was 83.6 kg, the maximum diameter was 0.58 m. It flew in space for 92 days, having made 1440 revolutions around the Earth during this time. Satellite signals could be received using ordinary amateur radio equipment, and radio transmitters worked for three weeks after the launch. Gradually, the device lost speed and burned up in the dense layers of the atmosphere.

How the disability were treated in the old days,

UK: Epsom’s Horton Chapel! (13.9.2026)

Furthermore, I cannot find any pictures online. I think most people are unaware that a) this object exists, or b) the general public are permitted into this “entrance” area of a private members club – providing they do not attempt to pass through the barriers. Either way, there used to be five psychiatric hospitals in the Epsom area (known as the “Cluster”) – which suggests that many more maladies were once considered “mental illness” – even women demanding to vote or have a say. Working-class people “getting ill” so that their labour can no longer be exploited was also considered “psychotic” between earlier and middle part of its history (it existed between 1902-1997). One such unfortunate was a former wrestler who drive an ambulance during the Nazi German bombing of London. He was wounded by shrapnel in the neck – and he was placed in the psychiatric hospital – where he wasted away. He was a British Jewish person surnamed “Solomon” – who is buried in Horton Cemetery.

EU 70 Percent Negative Views

UK: Negative EU Trivia! (13.9.2026)

Do not forget – we have to finance the jack-boots of Ukraine and Israel. All the prices in the UK are around five times higher and are causing endless damage to the fabric of UK society. This, together with mass migration, is fuelling the far-right and will lead to a probable far-right election victory. During times of economic hardship and desperation – friction between ethnic groups increases. During times of economic plenty – cultural friction reduces as people enjoy the freedom their income affords. As modern capitalism involves the boom and bust cycle – the capitalists believe that a) racism is inevitable, and b) it can be staged managed to their benefit and profit. Although the capitalists flirt with the far-right as a means to control and suppress the left – in the UK at the moment the far-right looks as if it will break-out of this control mechanism and secure political power via an election.

Cuba: The Loss Experienced on September 11th…! (12.9.2026)

I oppose terrorism on the grounds it is an Anarchic tactic – not Marxist-Leninist – that only hurts the innocent worker. A recent US academic study suggests that the US Military – since 1945 to present – has killed around 30 million men, women, and children around the world – in its quest to establish US-style economics. Much of this can be legally described as “terrorism”. In return, the US people have suffered remarkably “low” casualties and damage. During the Nazi blanket-bombing of UK cities (1939-1945) – the British lost 60,500 people (killed) with 130,000 (wounded). Remarkably, during the “Blitz” Nazi German bombing campaign (between September-May 1940) – the UK lost a staggering 30,000-40,000 – with my mother’s family being bombed-out of their native Lewisham. Today, the US is killing school-girls in Iran and is slowly attempting to destroy Cuba. The Americans, however, would have you believe that “they” are victims.
