Starbucks Declares “Buy or Leave” – as Israeli “War Crimes” Boycott Kicks-In! (15.1.2025)

15/01/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

Below, as an example the BBC refers to the Israeli “Genocide” in Gaza as the Israeli-Gaza War” – as if Gaza is a country (rather than a small area of occupied Palestine) that benefits from equal political support and possesses an armed force equivalent to that being armed and funded by the US, UK, and EU! Ordinary Palestinians “volunteer” to resist the Israeli aggression whilst lightly armed, and for no pay. This article briefly mentions a “boycott” vaguely linked to the Israeli “Genocide” – but tries to negate this association by suggesting “price rises” are the reason Starbucks sales have plummeted since the beginning of the Israeli aggression of October 2023. In fact, photographs of IDF soldiers returning from murdering innocent Palestiian men, women, and children – and holding “free” Starbucks coffees – has caused worldwide revulsion!

London: Broken Biscuits and Paternalistic Capitalism: Was the Bermondsey Biscuit Factory a Worker’s Paradise or is the Truth Less Sweet? (13.1.2025)

The first female clerks, responsible for typewriting invoices and the telephone exchange, were employed in 1885. The new hires may have been surprised to find the company brochure had a dedicated ladies’ section called ‘Matters Feminine’. However, the suffragettes would not have been too impressed with its content. Topics mainly included cooking, family and fashion.

‘It is all very well for a man to smile at the feminine love of clothes, and dismiss them as being of very little importance in life. Women know better. Husbands, who profess not to admire fashions, are not slow to complain at the dowdy appearance of their wives,’ read one passage.

In the following decades, many of the women employed found promotions were very much possible. Anne Edwards, who got a job as a clerical assistant in 1957, wrote: “Brilliant employers, they paid for me to attend Pitman’s College to extend my shorthand skills. They monitored my progress, my typewriting skills and promoted me from junior to manager’s secretary in the same department. I loved working there.”

The Zionists Are Committing Genocide in Gaza!

Gaza: “Fatah” or “Pseudo-Fatah” – That is the Question! (12.1.2025)

12/01/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

This is how Zionist-fascism works. This is really an extension of how the US Intelligence Agencies function. Take reality, distort it, and then slowly bring the victims round to your way of thinking – predatory capitalism, liberal democracy, and extreme militarism. Be careful when you encounter pages such as this. Always take a step back and consider the situation. Take a breath and look at the situation from many different angles and perspectives. I am getting old now, and have a lifetime of experience to draw upon – but the young must be careful. Discerning correct dialectical trends from false dialectical trends is the entire point of a progressive education. The bourgeois know this and therefore continuously attempt to confuse matters and sully the water. Be careful and pick you way through life in a considered manner. Become leaders and guide others in the correct direction!

UK Charity Regulator – “Unlawful” for British Charities – to Fund-Raise for Israeli Soldiers! (10.1.2025)

10/01/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

On Thursday, the Charity Commission issued a warning against Chabad Lubavitch Centres North East London and Essex Limited after the charity received 180 complaints for raising money for a soldier fighting for the Israeli army in northern Israel.

In October 2023, Chabad Lubavitch Centres North East London and Essex Limited set up a fundraising page for a soldier stationed in northern Israel.

The page, which was eventually removed in January 2024, raised approximately £2.280. From that amount, Chabad sent £937 to an individual soldier.

The trustees were unable to account for how those funds were spent. But the charity told the Charity Commission that the remaining funds were spent on non-lethal military equipment purchased by the trustees and sent to the same soldier in Israel.

How Great Britain Assisted the Formation of the Confederate Post Office [1861-1863]! (8.1.2025)

08/01/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

The internationally-known London, England printing firm of “Thomas De La Rue & Co.”, prepared plates and stamps for the CSA until a Southern firm was found to take over the work. That firm, Archer & Daly, began producing stamps in 1863. The US blockade of as many Confederate ports as possible often meant that British ships carrying supplies from London, the UK, or the British Empire to the Confederacy – were often intercepted via acts of piracy on the high seas by the US Navy – with the goods confiscated and/or destroyed. The US government was continuously irritated by the continuous (undeclared) British support for the Confederacy – which for at least two-years extended into the realms of Post Office support! Of course, many of the best weapons the Confederate Army possessed were supplied by the UK. The Postmaster General of the Confederate Post Office Department (POD) – John Reagan (whilst traveling with President Jefferson Davis) – was arrested on the 8th May 1865, and imprisoned at Fort Warren in Boston Harbor. Reagan was pardoned and released from prison almost two years later. Jefferson Davis “refused” a Pardon (on the grounds that he had done nothing wrong) – and was subsequently released anyway.

ICC: Eire Joins South Africa’s “Genocide” Case Against Israel! (8.1.2025)

08/01/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

Following today’s Cabinet meeting, the Tánaiste said:

“There has been a collective punishment of the Palestinian people through the intent and impact of military actions of Israel in Gaza, leaving 44,000 dead and millions of civilians displaced.

“By legally intervening in South Africa’s case, Ireland will be asking the ICJ to broaden its interpretation of what constitutes the commission of genocide by a State.

“We are concerned that a very narrow interpretation of what constitutes genocide leads to a culture of impunity in which the protection of civilians is minimised.

“Ireland’s view of the Convention is broader and prioritises the protection of civilian life – as a committed supporter of the Convention, the government will promote that interpretation in its intervention in this case.

“Intervening in both cases demonstrates the consistency of Ireland’s approach to the interpretation and application of the Genocide Convention.”
