Black Thinking is Underfire!

US: When Imagination & Fact Collide – Who Controls the Narrative? (16.8.2026)

Although there are great Black thinkers – those promoted simply for the colour of their skin – are not qualified to hold such a high office. Apparently, there have been at least four Black female Professors at Harvard in recent years exposed for being fantasists – who were indulged and empowered by the White community. The above video covers the case of “Kerri Greenidge” whose book – The Grimkes – was pulled from the shelves due to its content being deemed academically “untrue” (Greenidge was subsequently sacked from her role as Professor). Prior to this, without the establishment apparently checking its content – unprecedented praise was heaped upon this tome from all directions. After being exposed – the author responded by declaring all criticism of her work to be “racist”. Here is a rare example of a tenured Professor being “sacked”. I know standards have slipped over the years in our former colony of the US – but really?

Battle of Newton Station

CSA: Battle at Newton Station – April 24th 1863! (1.7.2026)

Although I am no fan of the right-wing (racist) actor – John Wayne – the 1959 film entitled “The Horse Soldiers” covers the so-called “Battle at Newton Station” which unfolded on April 24th, 1863 – and took place in Mississippi. This involved the penetration of the South in the Western Theatre by Col. Benjamin Grierson (1826-1911) and his Union Cavalry Unit. The idea was to commit acts of terrorism and sabotage toward the CSA and its train network – so that it could not easily transport troops and supplies around the country. As Cavalry acted as a light and highly mobile infantry – these troops often turned-out to be highly effective in this role. The clip I have added above is from the film “The Horse Soldiers” and depicts Confederate troops arriving by train at the station and launching what they thought to be a surprise attack. From what records survive, it is said that the CSA lost around 25 men – but this number could have been higher. I am told that Confederate charges like this – from trains – did take place on more than one occasion. 

Jazz Fusion in the Confederacy

CSA: Jazz – An Interesting Assessment of “Black Freedom” in the Post-Confederate Period! (4.6.2026)

He had come from the British colony of the West Indies – and was surprised to observe how cognitively undeveloped the slave population was in America. In the West Indies the British had established “Re-Education Camps” which all former-slaves had to be held within. They were daily taught how to read and write, how to count, and how to civilly interact with one another (and other people). They were taught cleanliness and hygiene, etc. This included medical understanding and religious practice (Protestant Christianity). When each individual successfully passed all the sets tests and examinations – they were declared a “Free Citizen” and released into general society. Another way of gaining this status was to join the British Army and serve in Africa for the UK government. Men who survived 20-years gained British Citizenship and the right to settle in England as an Englishman – a great honour. Jefferson Davis wanted a phased reduction and abolition of slavery once the sovereign status of each State had been decided. He certainly had no intention of extending or preserving the institution – but you can see from the above quote that the North preserved slavery well into the 20th century – but gave it a thin-veneer of a faux “freedom”. Just as Davis promised the Native Americans their own country – he promised all Black men who supported the Confederacy “Freedom” and “Citizenship”. Because the North did not bother to transition the former slave populations – America is today riddled with all kinds of sociological ills. As matters stand, a “forced” assimilation does not seem to be working.

CSA: Celebrating the Confederate 1862 “Liberation” of Maryland from Lincoln’s Tyranny! (19.5.2026)

I am blessed to have been born a free Englishman. British academics are the best in the world when not under duress from oppressive governments. I have piles of English books written fairly about the Confederacy – a movement I believe would have led to a “Socialist” North America if it ha prevailed. The CSA would now be supplying the Comrade-State of Cuba (instead of killing it through sanctions), rewarding a Socialist Cina, Vietnam, Laos, Venezuela and Iran – whilst blockading what is left of the Federal States for their greed and belligerence toward Socialist States. The Native Americans would have their own Independent country in what is now the Western United States – free of Eurocentric interference – whilst the State of Israel would be in a remote area of Brazil with “Zionism” being outlawed as a form of Jewish-derived “White Supremacy” (see the 1975 UN Resolution) and the subsequent ICC and ICJ Declamations regarding the Zionist Genocide in Gaza, Lebanon, and Iran. South Africa would be rewarded for holding Israel accountable for its Crimes Against Humanity and Trotskyism (as a right-wing attack on Marxist-Leninism) would be an imprisonable deviation. Thank you to the Confederate soldiers who gave their lives in pursuit of a higher freedom!

Prussian Knot - Colonel Confederate Hate!

CSA: Gifted Cap & T-Shirt! (26.4.2026)

Yesterday, I received a replica “kapi” hat with the rank of “Colonel” signified by the gold braid and Prussian-knot. I do not understand these ranks but assume that it has something to do with the German participation in the American Civil War. On top of this I am wearing a grey T-Shirt that humorously records all the battles fought by General Robert E Lee as he guided the Army of Northern Virginia in and out of the Northern (Federal) States. It is a historically accurate list with one or two battles I have not heard of before. The Confederate States is a fascinating time in US history and much of it is obscured and/or misrepresented. British military historians tend to be more level-headed about the reality of the Confederate States and the reasons it fought against the North.

Vietcong Tunnel Fighter - AK-47 & Folded Bayonet

Email: Material [Military] Science & Religious Belief! (30.3.2026)

The Americans learned in the 1770s that there is a material reality to warfare and that this has nothing to do with religion. The Americans developed better cannons to kill as many English Red Coats “at a distance” – so that their inexperienced “volunteer” force could better handle these tough working-class Englishmen hand-to-hand. The evidence suggests that the brutal discipline practiced by the Red Coats still made this process very difficult and very different to the films. The Red Coats carried-on marching in formation despite significant losses – each soldier doggedly “locking forward” and never to the left and right (which often involved huge holes in the lines). Interestingly, both the Union and Confederacy sought to replicate these levels of bravery in their own respective armies – one of the reasons I find this era of history to be quite fascinating. What the Confederacy lacked in material support – it more than make-up for this deficiency in the personal bravery of its soldiers. Of course, soldiers can hold a religious view that assists them in bearing the hardships associated with war (the Imperial Japanese Forces of WWII is often cited as an example – the “Kamikaze” for instance) – but the Soviet Red Amy possessed NO official religion during WWII – and yet its soldiers prevailed over the ruthless material science fielded by Nazi Germany – and the religiosity of the Japanese. America can be defeated but this is usually on the political level – as resistance to war amongst the voters becomes greater than the will to pursue the war.
