Brave Spanish Fire-Fighters!

Spain: Brave Fire Brigade Saves Historic Combined Mosque-Cathedral from Blaze! (9.8.2025)

“That allowed them to know all the entrances, the hallways, where they could hook up their hoses,” he said

Forensics police were at the scene to try to determine the cause of the fire.

ABC and other newspapers reported that a mechanical sweeping machine had caught fire in the site.

The site was built as a mosque — on the site of an earlier church — between the 8th and 10th centuries by the southern city’s then Muslim ruler, Abd ar-Rahman, an emir of the Umayyad dynasty.

After Christians reconquered Spain in the 13th century under King Ferdinand III of Castile, it was converted into a cathedral and architectural alterations were made over following centuries.

UNESCO designated the building a World Heritage Site in 1984, calling it “an architectural hybrid that joins together many of the artistic values of East and West and includes elements hitherto unheard-of in Islamic religious architecture, including the use of double arches.”

The Far-Right Views Sexual Deviancy as a "Revolutionary Act"!

On Why the Far-Right “Vets” It Membership! (9.8.2025)

They want to persecute gay people who do not support the far-right – just as they want you to join them in demonising paedophiles when half of their membership carries a conviction for paedophilia! Fifty-years ago – the far-right targeted mixed-race relationships, five hundred years before that it was witches, and so on and so forth. Far-right groups are not the Police, not the medical fraternity, and not the Courts. These groups of voluntary association possess no legal or lawful power whatsoever, and do not need to vet anyone. No one should pass their personal details to these groups – they are morally and intellectually unsound. The leaders know, quite possibly from their own pasts, that the fascist movement is riddled with sex offenders! Do not let your children any where near these people. Imagine pretending to be a “Police Force” just to stop the degenerate reality of your own membership from becoming publicly known! Nazis and their ilk are sexual deviants – or potential sexual deviants. Understand this and act accordingly.

China Manned Moon-Shot!

China: Socialist Manned Lunar-Landing Set for 2030! (8.8.2025)

The lunar lander, named Lanyue, which means embracing the moon, consists of both a landing module and a propulsion module. It is a newly developed spacecraft designed to support crewed missions to and from the moon.

It will be used to transport two cosmonauts between the lunar orbit and the lunar surface — and will carry a lunar rover and other scientific payloads. After landing, the lander will serve as a life-support centre, an energy centre and a data centre, offering assistance and serving as a base for the cosmonauts’ stay and activities on the moon’s surface.

Noting that the test was complex with a long cycle and technical challenges, the space agency said the success represents a breakthrough in research and development in terms of China’s manned lunar exploration programme.

UK: Labour “Homelessness” Minister “Resigns” for “Mistreating” Her Own Renting Tenants! (8.8.2025)

The poor, Black, White, Brown, or Yellow – are all being treated with the same level of brutal oppression. No wonder the bourgeoisie hates the DPRK so much – it builds ultra-modern flats and houses – and then gives them out “free” to its own population. Although anyone can live in the DPRK, there is no mass immigration designed to serve the needs of predatory capitalism! As I have said before, voluntary “Internationalism” is not the same as enforced “Multiculturalism”. It is not Rushanara Ali’s ethnicity that is the cause of this (Islam rejects usury), but rather her class. The point is that non-White British people can easily make money by buying property and then renting it out to whomever they choose – thus bypassing the usual barriers of racism which keeps them “shut-out” of mainstream British society. There was a time when the Guardian would have reported on this using a vigorous left-leaning dialectic. Those days are long gone.

Chinese Science - Space Hospital Could Look Like This!

China: Futuristic Space Hospital Being Designed! (7.8.2025)

The Shenzhen University of Advanced Technology and the Shanghai Engineering Centre for Microsatellites recently signed a cooperation agreement to jointly establish a space hospital in the future. This project aims to enhance astronauts’ health and expand in-orbit medical monitoring and life support capabilities.

The future space hospital will make breakthroughs in fields such as aerospace, medicine and biology, and conduct cutting-edge research in space life and health support. It will also prepare research on non-astronauts space travel, interstellar exploration and other space health support needs, the China Science Daily reported Wednesday.

Japan: 80 Years on – Reckoning with War Remains Unfinished! (7.8.2025)

The voices underscored a national memory shaped more by the narrative of victimhood than by a full reckoning with the causes and consequences of war, which offered a glimpse into how Japan remembers and forgets its wartime past.

While the physical scars of nuclear devastation are meticulously documented in museums and memorials, Japan’s aggressive wartime conduct is conspicuously muted in both public discourse and state education.

Outside the official ceremony, anti-militarist demonstrators gathered near the atomic bombing site. Their placards decried Japan’s growing defence budget and the possibility of nuclear “sharing” with the U.S.

They were kept outside the formal event by riot police, while right-wing activists tried to drown them out with loudspeakers.
