China: Paralyzed Patient Undergoes First “Invasive Brain-Computer Interface” Surgery at Tongji Medical College! (14.8.2026)

The patient, identified by the pseudonym Hu Damin, has been bedridden for two years following a spinal cord injury. Doctors implanted eight ultraflexible electrodes into her motor cortex. Each electrode, dozens of times thinner than a human hair, can capture neural signals linked to her intention to move.

The BCI system is designed to bypass the damaged spinal cord and translate brain signals into commands for devices such as computer cursors, smartphones and wheelchairs. Through rehabilitation training, doctors hope to help her regain fine motor functions in her upper limbs.

The implanted device is reportedly China’s first high-throughput BCI product capable of recording single-neuron-level signals and has been recognized as an innovative medical device by the National Medical Products Administration.

Gazza Scores A Beautiful Goal For Gansu Tianma in His First Game!

China: 26-Years Ago – Paul Gascoigne – Played Four Football Games & Scored 2-Goals In-Front of 30,000 Fans in Gansu – Then Suddenly Left! (13.8.2026)

The above article is full of hope and love for Paul Gascoigne and the “Gansu Divine-Sky Horses” – the struggling Chinese football team Gazza was contracted to play for. Gazza’s playing career spanned 19-years between 1985-2004. Many English football stars – as they are so much more skilled than the average footballer – tend to play abroad for a time in their latter career before taking jobs as coaches, trainers, and media commentators, etc. Gazza avoided most of this and experienced very public battles with addiction and psychological issues. This is all a matter of public record. As Gazza suffered endless injuries as his body aged rapidly (compounded by the effects of alcohol) – his options for foreign playing were highly limited. In many ways, Gazza was lucky for the opportunity China gave him – and to this day he has never uttered a word of gratitude. This is the way things are – and there is reason to sugar-coat it. Watching the films of Gazza at his peak – there is no doubt he was one of the best players in the world. Even at the other end of his playing-career – the Chinese people were grateful he had chosen to play in their country. I think the BBC paid Gazza for an exclusive documentary about his time in China. It could be that he stayed long enough for the BBC cheque to clear before leaving – and never intended to stay in China – or help their football game develop.

India: Fascist BJP [Anti-China] Racism Displayed in “Anti-Intellectual” Tome! (13.8.2026)

If this is what these idiots are writing in English – what are they writing in Hindi? These Western “wannaby” Hindu-fascists and Neo-Nazis – about 10% of the Indian population (those that can read and write) – live in gated communities but deceive the illiterate 90% of India into mistakenly thinking that karma is their dharma! No. Being the anti-intellectual lapdog of the US is not a good look (just look at the highly negative attitudes Westerners have to Indian migrants) – but these degenerates are so inverted in their outlook that they are not even aware of just how stupid they look to the rest of the world. Even the ridiculous author of this piece admits (in the last paragraph effectively contradicting his own assertions) – that the Indian Army – (that is the Army of India – his own country) – “denies” any and all allegations he has just made in the body of the article. The reality is that the 90% of illiterate India desperately need a Socialist Revolution to throw-off the yoke of US Imperialism and the utter stupidity of Hindu Nationalism. Meanwhile, the BJP morons better hope and pray that the PLA does not really come over the border and teach the Indians yet another “1962-Style” military lesson once again!

China: Fewer Marriages – But More Divorces in First-Half of 2026! (13.8.2026)

This laid the foundation for the vibrant and prosperous China we see today. This is why the one-child policy has been relaxed – as China now possesses the wealth and infrastructure to give each new born child (male or female) a strong “Socialist” education! Of course, the capitalist West does not like this – as it sees this as a challenge to its “profit-seeking” model. This is why the West seeks to infiltrate China and destroy its independence through a racialised greed and selfishness – the two-pillars of predatory capitalism. Whilst perpetuating the lie that there are not enough women in China – the US encourages Chinese women outside China (in fact – all non-White women) to participate in pornography and amorous behaviour on and offline – all for easy money paid for by White men sat in the basement of their parent’s home. No. the CPC is correct and its policies protect the men and women of China. The West can perpetuate as many racist lies as it wants – this will not blunt the success of China – or take-away the rights Chinese women now possess. Any Chinese woman who sides with the West against China – is a “traitor”!

UK: Weird News from England – Paul Carr Prevents “FA” Bringing Chaos to “Walking-Football”! (13.8.2026)

There is a movement within the WFA to have closer ties with the UK’s “Football Association” (FA) which regulates the highly lucrative (standard) professional and amateur versions of the game. The FA exists to commercialise and exploit the game of football – and Paul Carr (and his supporters) are afraid that if the FA are allowed to penetrate the internal workings of Walking Football – it will commercialise the game and change its character completely. For instance, players could end-up being paid – and teams forced to make “foreign” signings – so that Walking Football ceases to be “local”. In support of Paul Carr’s resistance to this intended FA merger – FIWFA stated that WFA Referees (who oppose this merger) had left that organisation (the WFA) and instead joined FIWFA as a protest. WFA issued a statement denying any such defection had taken place – and Paul Carr – as FIWFA President (interpreting the WFA declaration to be “false”) “banned” all UK WFA teams from the upcoming (2026) European tournament (to be held in Spain). What to make of all this? In one sense, Paul Carr appears to be arguing with himself – but of course – this is not the case. As “President” of FIWFA he is arguing with his subordinate colleagues in the WFA – who appear to be attempting to undermine his authority by pushing ahead with unwanted FA negotiations. Although some papers are trying to present Paul Carr as a bigot due to his political affiliations – it is clear from the content hosted on the FIWFA website that the game is truly international and multicultural.

UK: Family Event – Partial Eclipse in South London! (12.8.2026)

In 1999 – the year of the last partial-eclipse in the UK – I think it happened about 10am in the morning and got really dark (or at least dusky). Today, the birds became quiet as the sun shrank and the shadows slowly lengthened. This all happened over a 50 minute time period between 18:10hrs-19:00hrs. We even had a cup of tea and ate a cake whilst sat in the garden! Even one of our cats knew something unusual was happening. Of course, we were not sure how dark it would get – as in Central Europe the sky went completely dark.
