Chongqing: China Remembers 140th Anniversary of General Stilwell’s Birth! (10.8.2023)

As a consequence, the presence of Stilwell reminds the world of a more enlightened time in US foreign policy. The ‘Stilwell Museum’ is situated in ‘Chongqing’ – whilst ‘Stilwell Town’ is to be found at the Qinglong section of the Yunnan-Guizhou Highway. Chongqing was formerly part of South-East Sichuan province until 1997 (when it became an ‘Independent Municipality’) – whilst Qinglong county is located in the South-West of Guizhou province. Therefore, the ‘Stilwell Museum’ and ‘Stilwell Town’ are situated around 422 miles apart and should not be confused. Remember, so stubborn and difficult to defeat was the Kwantung Army of Imperial Japan – that the US requested that the Soviet Red Army should intercede and enter North-East China during late 1945 – which it did to great military success! By 1950, the US was rewarding this Soviet sacrifice by broadcasting propaganda lies stating the Red Army had committed endless ‘atrocities’! The Chinese people, of course, have the utmost respect for the USSR and its defeat of Imperial Japan – as once again it was the Soviets that saved the world from fascism!

Manifesto of the Communist Party By Karl Marx & Friedrich Engels [1848] – Text & Speech! (6.8.2023)

Those with abilities should help those without abilities – and ALL should be lifted-up together! This is a dialectically pivotal text which sparks-off all further dialectical development in the human mind. My children, for instance, although NOT trapped in any form of ‘dogma’ – academically perform regularly in the top 5% of the country (UK) – simply because of the effect of the associated brilliance of the thought forms of Marx and Engels! Therefore, it is not just the theoretical content that is important, but the manner in which the content is derived, constructed and presented. The way in the content unfolds! It is a method of continuous, pristine creativity! It is the essence of Communist ‘Futurism’ – as Vladimir Mayakovsky once observed!

PRC: Mainland Student Group Arrives in Taiwan Region! (17.7.2023)

The trip is scheduled to include stops in Taipei, Taichung, New Taipei, Hsinchu and Hualien.

On Saturday evening, Ma Ying-jeou held a dinner reception to welcome the group. He said the visit is the most important event to boost exchanges between young people on both sides in recent years.

He also expressed his hope that cross-Strait tensions could be eased and cross-Strait exchanges fully resumed to benefit people on both sides.

Between late March and early April this year, Ma took a group of Taiwan students to the mainland and had discussions at three universities, during which he repeatedly expressed his hope that teachers and students from mainland universities could visit Taiwan on an exchange basis.

People’s Daily (English) on Telegram! (10.7.2023)

The Dictatorship of the Bourgeoisie is quite often ‘brutal’ at times – with the Tyranny being changed every four or five years! Imagine that form of highly exploitative ‘freedom’! We are conditioned to ‘choose’ those who will exploit us – and we are brainwashed to view this as constituting ‘freedom’! One way of breaking up this conditioning is to read widely and open the mind to new experiences and different ways of viewing things! As an English writer once wrote – ‘We read to know we are not alone!’ (attributed to CS Lewis – from his ‘An Experiment in Criticism’)! China – and the Chinese people – have come along way in a very hostile world. As Westerners – if we really believe our civilisation to be of noble stock – then surely we should assist another noble people in a similar way!

The Case for Abolishing the False Construct of ‘Whiteness’! (6.7.2023)

DNA tests of this clan has apparently demonstrated a genetic link to this area. Obviously, the Vikings had not yet arrived in Eastern Europe around 1,700 BCE – and would not do so for around another 2,000 years! Whoever these people were who migrated into India as ‘Aryans’ – they were NOT Western or Northern Europeans. This proves that the idea that the ‘Aryans’ were ‘Europeans’ is a myth. They may well have been some type of Central Asian with a typical ‘light’ complexion routinely found in the Far East – although examples of these indigenous people still exist within Eastern Russia (a collection of different people who look ‘Chinese’).
