London (Green Park): Canada Memorial (WWI & WWII) – Memorial du Canada! (25.8.2023)

This sculptured memorial is constructed of red granite which forms a ‘walkway’ divided into two distinct halves. One half represents Britain whilst the other half represents Canada and the two country’s joint participation in WWI and WWII. The inclined sculpture is inset with 506 bronze maple leaves (the Canadian emblem) and the country’s coat of arms. Water flows across the sloping surface and creates an illusion of floating leaves.

Tibet: US Racism Continues To Disinform and Encourage Pro-Tibetan Movement! (24.8.2023)

In high-altitude regions where people are scattered across large areas, including in Tibet, boarding schools help solve the problem of students who have to travel long distances to get to school, Wang said.

It is a practical way to centralize education resources and ensure children’s equal rights to education, he said.

He said the students are free to return home during holidays and weekends and parents can visit their children or take them home according to their needs at any time.

Traditional culture courses including Tibetan language and dances are also set up, he said, adding the students are free to wear ethnic clothes at school.

Boarding schools in Tibet are vivid examples of ways to protect human rights and cultural traditions in the region, the spokesman said.

Redux: The Fujian Sword Incident Enlarged and Explicit! (23.8.2023)

The attacker, however, travelled by bus the 179 miles between Sanming in West Fujian – to reach Xiamen in South Fujian (with Xiamen being 57 miles Southwest of Quanzhou). Fuzhou, the coastal areas and the a number of in-land places are famous for Southern Shaolin Temples and gongfu styles which eventually formed the ‘Kata’ of Okinawan Karate-Do.

Degrelle Meets Churchill ‘Myth’ – IHR Responds! (23.8.2023)

I attach the back dustcover to Leon Degrelle’s book entitled ‘Campaign in Russia – The Waffen SS on the Eastern Front’ (originally a French-language biography covering his time in the Belgian SS) – although the above reference is from the 1985 ‘English’ language rendition – published by the ‘Institute for Historical Review’.
