Qi Ying Hao - Qing Dynasty Ship - 1848

China: Qing Dynasty Ship – “Qi Ying Hao” [耆英号] – First Modern Chinese Vessel to Visit the West – and Never to Return! (11.3.2024)

The purpose of the “Qi Ying Hao” voyage is not very clear – based upon the extant information available. Certain information suggests that the driving force behind the scenes was a British business group. These investment capitalists intended to have a Chinese sailing ship sail around the Cape of Good Hope – and then sail to the United Kingdom – as a symbolic gift for Queen Victoria!

According to researchers, the “Qi Ying Hao” was secretly sold to the British in August of 1846, because at that time China had legal restrictions that prohibited the sale of ships to foreigners. In order to keep it secret, all the British people changed into Chinese clothes and a Chinese person was temporarily appointed as the Captain. He also used the ship as his personal yacht – and sailed the boat from Guangzhou to Hong Kong.

Facts About the Americas! (11.3.2024)

This re-forestation caused a mini-ice age across Europe which was felt in the UK during the early 1800s (recorded as “festive events” eventually featured upon Christmas Cards depicting frozen rivers, snowy landscapes, smiling snowmen and children sledging, etc). These events are still remembered to this day a good thing on UK Xmas cards – with no knowledge as to ‘why’ this happened. Of course, overtime, and with the arrival of more Europeans – this subsumed land was re-cleared of its foliage (to accommodate this further “White” settlement) causing the climate to readjust – relieving the mini-age ice. The Americas are not just the post-1865 CE ‘Federal’ Association of the ‘United States’ that currently occupy a large part of North of America.

My Shakespeare “Complete Works” Editions! (10.3.2024)

The first was in 1992 – purchased from a local WH Smiths in a place called ‘Tiverton’ in East Devon (I believe during the time that my Irish grandmother – Gladys Kilmurray – was very ill and when her British daughter and American grandchildren were visiting the UK from Seattle, US) – whilst the second was acquired from The Works in Torquay High Street in 2007 (five-years after my family had uprooted and migrated to the South Coast). Both are superb editions with the first being easy to carry around whilst the latter is a very large, impressive and “Grand” Limited Library Edition – designed as a “Reference” copy only NOT to be borrowed or moved about (it is far too heavy for that)! The first is compact – whilst the second is lavishly illustrated and easy to read.

Israel is a Mass-Murderer of Gazan Civilians!

DPRK: U.S. Branded as Accomplice in Zionist Massacre of Gazan Civilians! (10.3.2024)

At the UNSC meetings on the Ukrainian and Syrian issues, etc., the U.S. failed to attain its sinister purpose because of a permanent member state’s exercise of its veto. So the U.S. held a plenary meeting of the UN General Assembly, at which it incited collective pressure while talking about the “irresponsibility”, and even cried out for depriving a permanent member state of its position as a permanent member state.

But the situation has changed due to the Middle East situation last year.

The indiscriminate military attacks of Israel are killing many Palestinian civilians even at this moment, and Gaza Strip has been turned into a slaughterhouse and living hell.

The international community is being stunned by such horrible humanitarian tragedy and even its allies are turning their backs on the U.S. patronizing Israel.

Flight MH370 Awaits Detection!

Flight MH370: 10 Years On – Malaysia May Renew Search! (9.3.2024)

In July 2018, the Malaysian government released a more than 800-page report, noting that the evidence led to an “incontrovertible conclusion” that it was under manual control, and it was deliberately flown out into the Indian Ocean. Until the wreckage is found, it will remain unknown as to who was at the controls of the Boeing 777 during that time. Loke, who was also transport minister at the time, described it as the final and full report.

On condition

Nearly four years after the release of the report, Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said during a March 4 state visit to Australia that he would be “happy to reopen” the search for the missing MH370 “if there is compelling evidence”.

No So Much Spiders From Mars - But Bullshit from Prague!

Czech Republic in Space: How Jaroslav Kalfař Falsified History! (8.3.2024)

This book mimics the ’Socialist’ science fiction works of the Polish (genius) Stanislav Lem – whilst rejecting the ‘Socialist’ progression his work represents. Both the book and the film lull the audience into a false ‘Socialist’ accepting paradigm – space is conquered through Socialist Science – but then bursts this bubble by having the Czech Cosmonaut ‘advertise’ a cleaning agent “live” from his Space Capsule! Capitalist and exploitative through and through – but it gets far worse. The father of the Cosmonaut is described as an ‘Informant’ of the Communist Party (rather than a ‘defender of the people’ – what he really was)! The father is punished, his son (the Cosmonaut) is punished – as are various other members of his family – but by whom? Supposedly by the masses of the Czech Republic – masses who were members of the Communist Party and benefitted directly from its egalitarian policies!
