DPRK: Hypersonic Missile Successfully Test-Fire! (15.1.2024)

The test-fire was aimed at verifying the gliding and (controlled) manoeuvring characteristics of intermediate-range hypersonic warhead and the reliability of newly developed multi-stage – high-thrust – (solid-fuel) engines.

The test-fire was successfully conducted.

The test-fire never affected the security of any neighbouring country and had nothing to do with the regional situation.

The Missile Administration explained that the test is a part of the Administration and its affiliated Defence Science Institutes’ regular activities for developing powerful (deterrent) weapon systems. (End)

UN: South Africa’s Excellent “Genocide” Case Against Zionist Israel! (15.1.2024)

Furthermore, in pursuing this US-friendly policy – Qatar is acting in support of Zionist Israel whose US-supplied Airforce and missiles routinely ‘bomb’ the Syrian hinterland on a regular basis – and have done so for some years! Qatar is not alone in supporting Zionist Israel in Syria whilst opposing Zionist Israel in Palestine – as Turkey and Saudi Arabia are currently pursuing a similar US-friendly (anti-Socialist) foreign policy trajectory in Syria. How would these countries respond if Palestine became ‘free’ and declared itself an Arab Socialist Republic – just like Iran? Interesting food for thought and an interesting story recorded in Max Blumenthal’s book entitled ‘The Savagery of Violence’. Of course, I am no stranger in criticising Qatar and Al Jazeera – as my usual function is to counter Al Jazeera’s continuous attack upon Communist China – which is a staple of its ‘fake’ news coverage regarding the PRC!

Karate Kid Movie [1984] Blu-Ray – “Mr Miyagi” Reconsidered! (14.1.2024)

The authors of the film ‘Karate Kid’ (1984) had a paradox to overcome. On the one hand they wanted a traditional ‘Okinawan’ Karate-Do master – who at the same time had NOTHING to do with Okinawa either before or during WWII! This entire idea is racist and disrespectful to the hundreds of thousands of Okinawan men, women and children who died being trapped between the Imperial Japanese Army and the invading US Marines – and those who died fighting the Americans or were murdered by US troops after surrender. Of course, many thousands of Okinawan women and girls were raped by US troops once captured. Although Mr Miyagi had to represent everything ‘martial’ that defines Okinawan history – including its stand against the invading US Forces – he also had to be completely ‘detached’ from everything ethnically ‘Okinawan’ so as not to disturb the Eurocentric sensitivities of the average US audience!
