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’).

Wagner PMC: Belarus Brokers “Peace” Deal – Zelensky Issues Confused Denial! (24.6.2023)

President Zelensky’s Office in Kyiv has sought a high-level diplomatic clarification (and confirmation) regarding who it is that Russia is actually fighting! This confusion has arisen as the forces of Wagner PMC ‘invaded’ Russian territory – apparently declaring war on Russian bureaucratic corruption in the military! Zelensky has not been used to playing second fiddle to Yevgeny Prigozhin – and issued a bizarre ‘Address to the Nation’ within which he ‘denies’ being ‘gay’ and a ‘drug’ addict! He also states that technically, Wagner PMC has penetrated further into Russia than Nazi Germany did during the early 1940s!

Putin: “Only Homosexuals Lose 1000 Men a Day and Complain About It!” (24.6.2023)

Apparently, this homophobic comment anger Yevgeny Prigozhin to such a degree that after a month of resting, rearming and refitting, he ordered an invasion of sovereign Russian territory to ‘teach’ Putin a lesson! So far, two Russian helicopters have been shot-down by Wagner PMC – which has successfully taken over control of the Regional Military Headquarters in Rostov – as well as the nearby Military Airfield! In response, many in Russia are shocked by this development, with Rostov being sealed-off and encircled by the Russian National Guard!
