US: 2022 All-Time “High” Suicide Rate – “Not Biden’s Fault”! (28.8.2023)

Karen Cassiday, a clinical psychologist and managing director of the Anxiety Treatment Centre of Greater Chicago and past president of the Anxiety and Depression Association of America, said the pandemic was detrimental to the overall mental health of people in the US. She advised anyone who needs it to seek help.

Historically, “the norm for any population is to show some impairment in mental health when a mass event occurs, such as famine or war”, she said. “After six months most people adapt, and the general population returns to its normal pre-event level of mental health.”

However, in the case of the pandemic, this did not occur. “The pandemic had several unique characteristics that lent themselves to triggering anxiety, depression. Anxiety disorders do not go away on their own. They can be readily treated.”

China: British Museum – “No Idea” How Much Loot It Possesses – Or Where It Might Be! (28.8.2023)

The Admonitions of the Instructress to the Court Ladies collected in the British Museum is the closest copy of the prestigious Chinese painting by Gu Kaizhi. It is one of the most famous collections of the museum. It was plundered from the court of the Qing Dynasty during the Siege of Beijing by the Eight-Nation Alliance in 1900.

There are very few tri-colored Luohan statues of the Liao Dynasty in the world and those collected in the British Museum were stolen overseas from the Yixian County, Hebei Province.

The British Museum has refused to return the cultural relics over the years mainly on the grounds and basis of the British Museum Act, which was amended by the British Parliament in 1963 and basically prohibits the museum from returning any of its collections.

The British leading human rights lawyer Geoffrey Robertson QC said “The trustees of the British Museum have become the world’s largest receivers of stolen property, and the great majority of their loot is not even on public display.”

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. What Chinese people are protesting about is the apparent ‘lose of control’ – rather than the violence – which was not much of an issue.

Qinghai Prohibits Illegal Crossing Uninhabited Areas for Exploration Following Fatalities! (23.8.2023)

Furthermore, the statement particularly underscores that without proper authorization or reporting to relevant authorities, no individual or organization shall organize tourist groups under the pretext of exploration, crossing, or scientific research to venture deep into natural conservation areas. In the event of getting stranded, the full cost of rescue operations will be borne entirely by the involved individuals and groups.

Travelers should carefully assess their routes, and pay attention to weather forecasts, geological hazards, and traffic conditions while also maintaining ample reserves of supplies and ensuring vehicle maintenance, which is essential to ensure the safety of the journey, said the statement.

Fujian: May 23rd Incident!

Fujian: The May 23rd “Chopping” Incident Explained! (22.8.2023)

I have added a post regarding an extraordinary event that happened recently in China (click on the above link)! This all evolves around ‘Influencers’ and the pettiness of the Internet! Bear in mind that until 1911 – the Chinese people psychologically and physically inhabited a feudal system which maintained a rigid law and order through the management of an often brutal Justice System that seldom forgave and always meted-out the severest of punishments! Chinese culture is deeply rooted in martial practice and self-control – but here we see a complete loss of the latter and inappropriate application of the former!

USSR: The Vatican and Hungary’s 1956 “Neo-Nazi” Uprising! (22.8.2023)

In 1956, however, just eleven-years after the end of WWII and a Holocaust which had seen the fascist Hungarisns purge their country of hundreds and thousands of Jewish people, urged on by the US – the former soldiers of the (fascist) Hungarian Army took to the streets (together with their young converts) – and attempted to destroy the Socialist System and re-establish a pro-Western, pro-capitalist – totalitarian system that was anti-Russian and anti-Soviet! Within Socialist parlance this was clearly an attempt at a counter-Revolution – but all over the internet (and within faulty Western discourse) this fascist uprising is referred to as a ‘Revolution’. Does this sound familiar? It should do – as it is exactly the same policy that Obama unleashed in Ukraine in 2014! This is how Alexander Werth explains these events:
