2024 Shogun Series

Shogun: Exposing & Resisting Disney-fication! (7.3.2024)

On the other hand, if US-born (Asian) actors – pretending to be a) Japanese and b) medieval – presses your buttons then this show is definitely for you. An extra treat is in store if you like random White (European) people pretending to be a) English, and b) Elizabethan. The fact Japan is currently (and deliberately) pumping nuclear waste into the South China Sea has much to do with the manner in which this mini-series has been received. This happens at a time when Japan continues to antagonise China by refusing to acknowledge internationally recognised boundaries – whilst not apologising for WWII atrocities! A positive US decreed media consensus has declared this piece of parody (and Eurocentric mimicry) to be universally a ‘great success’.

BMA (UK): Why the Workers Should “Shake the Spear!” (7.3.2024)

I suspect there must be a constructive “rejection”. What comes next is not written in stone. What comes next is unwritten. It could be that an intelligent worker – that is an oppressed entity who can read and write – can infiltrate the culture of the oppressor and work to bring it down from within. This is an important observation as the “lessening” of oppression in one part of society – may well relieve the burden of suffering inflicted upon oppressed individuals somewhere else within society. As the choice of dialectical development is essentially infinite, in theory there is no limit to the objectives that can be achieved. Things are not simple – but neither should there be a “fear” that limits expression.

Korean People's Army!

DPRK: Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un Inspects Major Operation Training Base in Western Area! (7.3.2024)

To contain the constant threat of the enemies with overwhelming force, successfully control even the slightest attempt to ignite a war and correctly carry out the important mission in contingency, our army should always make more exact demands on itself in keeping with the aspect of changing and developing modern warfare and steadily intensify the actual war drills aimed at rapidly improving its combat capabilities for perfect war preparedness, he said, underscoring the need for the units at all levels of the entire army to dynamically usher in a new heyday of intensifying the war preparations in line with the requirements of the prevailing situation.

Archery as an Ancient Art!

Daoism: Archery in the Central Plains! (5.3.2024)

Indeed, as a distinct body of rituals – Confucianism is older – with Daoism developing later. The problem is that historical elements of both ideologies exist within China’s early history. These elements eventually diversified into specific and distinct schools of thought – that seem ‘different’ in practice (which they are) – whilst sharing similar or identical concepts. Term ‘道’ (Dao) exists in Confucian thought as well as in the musings of Laozi and Zhuangzi! Above is my short research paper on the ‘中’ (zhong1) ideogram in relation to archery and ‘hitting the target’.

Gazans Numbed to Israeli Genocide!

Palestine: Business As Usual for Fascist Israel! (4.3.2024)

Therefore, when reporting on this issue – it becomes something of a skill choosing ‘when’ and ‘what’ to publish – without falling into the trap of ‘trivialising’ Zionist mass-murder through ‘repetition’. Whilst I ‘adjust’ US English into British English (Xinhua) – I find myself having to ‘collect’ and ‘save-up’ the macabre Israeli massacres for such a time when their ‘group’ presentation becomes ‘meaningful’ – beyond the usual drone of the background noise that defines the (amoral) international news machine (within which – a greater ‘death’ count – results in a ‘higher’ income). I refuse to accept the flawed capitalist notion that ‘Genocide’ should equate to ‘Commerce’.

Well Done George Galloway!

Rochdale: George Galloway’s Victory Speech! (3.3.2024)

However, the ‘London Recruits’ who travelled to fight the Apartheid in South Africa during the 1970s – was a British ‘Communist Party’ initiative – one of the few post-1945 initiatives that advocated directly opposing certain extreme elements of the Bourgeois Establishment. Khrushchev’s betrayal of Stalin during 1956 (and 1961) caused all kinds of divisions throughout the International Communist Party. I think that before he committed himself to the Bourgeois Labour Party – George Galloway was a Communist. Indeed, most of the videos of Galloway expressing pro-Communist ideas have subsequently been removed from the internet. The ‘new’ Galloway is Islamic-bigotry friendly – and whilst he works to eradicate gays and trans from society – he might grant you one or two Socialist attributes and reforms. He might even throw you a football to keep you quiet. Only the call to prayer will disrupt the game – but only if the local clock is working on the Town Hall!
