PrOP-M - Soviet Rover - 1971

USSR: The 1971 Mars 2 & Mars 3 Missions – Carried the 1st Soviet-Made “Mars Rovers” [PrOP-M]! (18.8.2026)

The USSR and Eastern Europe had been devastated by Hitler during WWII with the Soviets suffering 41 million (killed and wounded) casualties whilst large swathes of the Western USSR was materially devastated. Leningrad, of course, was reduced to starvation by the Nazi blockade (rather like what Trump II is attempting to do to Cuba). Despite suffering that material and psychological devastation – within a few short years of reconstruction directed by Joseph Stalin – the country was able to regroup and direct its resources toward space exploration, a process which sent shockwaves throughout the world of the US, a place which had suffered no material or economic damage during WWII. Make no mistake about, although Stalin passed away in 1953 – everything that unfolded in the USSR from a technological position – manifested from the groundwork laid by Stalin between 1945-1953. This dialectical preparation sustained the country for decades despites its leaders betraying Stalin and taking the country in a Counter-Revolutionary direction. Indeed, the Mars 2 and Mars 3 Soviet fact-finding missions to Mars in 1971 both carried a version of the world’s first “rover” designed to explore the area immediately surrounding the lander (or “Mars Station”). This “Device Assessing [through] Cross-Country Capability-Mars” [Прибор оценки проходимости-Марс – Pribor otsenki prokhodimosti-Mars] or “ПрОП-М” [PrOP-M] was attached to the lander via a 15 metre tethering cable (similar to the first-generation remote controls attached to TV sets and video recorders).

Marxist Internet Archive - Trotskyite

Email: Is the “Marxist Internet Archive” Trotskyite? (18.8.2026)

That is all they do – mimicking their master – Leon Trotsky – who was a Zionist. Now, on the practical side, a free text and eBooks is a free text and eBook – a material reality the masses can benefit from without falling pray to Trotskyite grooming. Let these traitors move around the catalogue and place this text here and that text there – who cares – we are on to them. We can dialectically benefit from the texts the MAI host by a) exposing Trotskyism, and b) generating genuine Revolutionary forces. With regards my own experience, some years ago I acquired the Collected Works of Stalin in hardback and was busy checking whether MAI was correctly listing his works.

US: Trump Vows to “Break Wynd” Over AI Row! (17.8.2026)

She said that when she was found guilty, she was “hit with a wave of grief” because she realised her peers “just didn’t get” the danger she believes is posed by the race to superintelligence. But she was beginning to feel “vindicated” as more prominent figures like Sanders were speaking out. She is now braced for the prison experience of an orange jump suit, “horrible food, dirt [and] you can’t sleep”. She has been previously jailed for short periods related to her decades of political activism over causes including Nicaragua, nuclear disarmament, western Sahara and Palestine.

Her message to the chief executives of OpenAI, Anthropic and Meta, which also reported a security incident with its model, was “regain your humanity”. Kaufmyn said her target audience was ordinary people “and the message being: stop the progress of this technology. Let’s get a global ban on the race to superintelligence.”

Prof Stuart Russell, a leading AI academic at the University of California at Berkeley and president of the International Association for Safe and Ethical AI, gave evidence in Kaufmyn’s defence. He claimed OpenAI’s activities “pose an unacceptable risk”, alleging it had deployed AI systems with inadequate safeguards. He said that further development of these systems “must be conditioned on rigorous guarantees of safety, which are currently unavailable”.

You can see the issue. Most in the West do not understand the minutiae of what is happening in Palestine – and mistakenly believe their is a united front. As an aside, the only organisation that attempts a broad united front is the “Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine” (PFLP) headquartered in Lebanon. Meanwhile, PA, whilst collaborating with Israel locally (a point that angers Hamas-supporters), backs the “Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions” (BDS) campaign that seeks to economically isolate Israel by encouraging ordinary people in the West not to give their money to Israeli-supporting businesses. PA, therefore, the organisation that has praised North Korea below, advocate collaboration with Israel locally – whilst encouraging those living outside the Middle East to wage an economic war against Israel. Yes – PA complains continuously about the ill-treatment of Palestinian prisoners and the violent behaviour of Israeli-settlers – but does very little about it in practical terms.

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?

Police are appealing for information about the armed robbery at Tesco Express in Bowmont Square, Bicester.

UK: Local Oxford Supermarket Reports “Zen-Like” Crime – As Man “With No Shoes” Commits Armed-Robbery! (16.8.2026)

The suspect is described as a white man with pale skin, a scruffy black beard and a local accent. He is around 5ft 9in tall and was wearing a black puffer jacket with the hood up, grey jogging bottoms and white socks, but no shoes.

Officers are also trying to trace four people who were inside the store at the time of the robbery.

They are described as a white man with short brown hair wearing a red and blue sports jacket, a woman believed to be in her 50s who was around 6ft tall and wearing a grey sweater, and two younger girls who checked on the victim after the incident.

A spokesperson for Thames Valley Police said: “If you think that these people could be you or if you were in the area at this time and remember seeing a man walking with white socks and no shoes, please get in contact.”
