UK: Gypsy News – the Battle of Friendless Lane! (9.4.2026)

. Another issue stemmed around the difference between ethnic Gypsies and those people from the settled community who simply declared themselves a “Traveller”. This was followed by an influx of Irish Gypsies and Gypsies from Europe, and so on. A few years ago, when I was in regular contact with the Gypsy Council, and had just publish an article about Gypsies who served in the Soviet Red Army – I was attacked by an Irish youth from a nearby Traveller community that had took-over a park. I say “attacked” – but as a trained martial artist and a law abiding citizen, I simply “moved out the way” of this short kids punches – which made his friends laugh and pull him away. Obviously, I did not grass, but I suspect the entire encounter is on the Sainsbury car-park CCTV. It is a sad state of affairs all round. Some of these people are violent and obnoxious because of the things that have been done to them in the past – this must be understood – but the prejudice aimed at Travellers is breath-taking! No other disadvantaged group wants anything to do with them. You will not see BLM or Palestine Solidarity turning-up to protest their treatment or demand their rights. Physical violence does not bother me – it is an occupational hazard – but for many others the shock of it far too much to take, and around it goes.

Cuba Helps Jamaica!

Cuba: How – “Jorge” – Helped the Health & Well-Being of Jamaican Inhabitants! (8.4.2026)

I think this is typical of the hypocritical attitude of theistic religion, which is entirely selfish and self-serving. Bear in mind that Iraq was a secular Socialist State when it fought an 8-year war with Islamicist Iran (1980-1988). Politicised religion always acts this way. Whilst Neo-Nazi Ukraine is supported by the Catholic Church – Russia’s effort is backed by the Orthodox Church (I once encountered an Orthodox Priest at the Soviet War Memorial in London a few years ago – and had the feeling that I had experienced “pure evil”). This induced derision is exactly what politicised religion specialises in manufacturing. Trump is killing Cuba and Iran has been quite happy to falsely associate its Islamacist militancy with Cuba’s struggle when under attack by the West – but when Iran achieves the political upper-hand – Cuba’s (secukar Socialist) struggle is thrown in the bin. This is because theistic belief systems view secular Socialism as an attack on the literal accepting of religious teachings. Mark my words and learn from this. Israeli violence is entirely derived from its politicised religious beliefs – as the Israeli State also detests secular Socialism and acively works against it. Indeed, this would be an area of agreement between Iram, the US, and Israel. In another incarnation, Iran could be yet another Saudi Arabia!

BJP Fascist Ideology as Deficient as Ever!

India: Fascist BJP Formulates Cheap Way of “Defending” Its Borders! (7.4.2026)

It was the British that artificially divided India into India, and Western and Eastern Pakistan (basically North India hacked-off as a means to disempower a post-imperialist India – involving a thousand miles of Indian territory inbetween). The BJP are Hindu fascists who mimic the Vatican in its attempt to amass wealth and control the Indian people. China’s PLA humiliated the Indian Army in 1962 – and I believe at the time it possessed a “White” (British) General in overall Command. Nothing much has changed except the rise of Hindu racism which has replaced Hindu philosophy and theology. Institutional “lying” has replaced “Dharma” and “Karma” – with high caste prejudice permeating the political scene. As the BJP kowtows to the US – its population is kept impoverished and highly ignorant as to the means of understanding reality – even their religious reality. The lunacy of the ideas contained in this article are ridiculous – and the fascist Indians behind this do not possess the intellectual ability to even see it. They think this idea is “clever”.

US Material Losses!

China: US Military Aircraft Losses in Aggression Against Iran! (7.6.2026)

Iran, despite the sanctions preventing it from trading, building-up wealth, and importing resources, developed its missile and drone forces over many decades. Iran is now using-up all these supplies whilst the US is destroying the infrastructure of Iran – that very same infrastructure which built the missiles in the first place – no infrastructure – no missiles. On the face of it, these US losses are only significant from the perspective of the US (and Israel) rarely losing their expensive warplanes during the asymmetric wars they start. The only exception I can recall is the events of 1973, which involved the USSR secretly providing the Palestinians with sophisticated surface-to-air missiles. These Soviet missiles destroyed the Israeli Airforce in around 20 minutes during the Yom Kippur War. The problem was that a United Arab Army lost to the Israelis on the battlefield.

China: The Origins of Complex Life Pushed Back to Before the Cambrian! (6.4.2026)

Associate Professor Fan Wei, a leader of the group, says, “After years of fieldwork, we finally found several sites with the right conditions where animal fossils are preserved together with abundant algae.”

Unlike most Ediacaran sites, where organisms are preserved as impressions in sandstone, the Jianchuan fossils are preserved as thin carbon-rich films. This is type of preservation is more typical of famous Cambrian sites such as the Burgess Shale in Canada.

This exceptional preservation reveals anatomical details rarely seen in Ediacaran fossils, including feeding structures, digestive systems and organs used for movement.

Associate Professor Ross Anderson, a co-author of the study from the Oxford Universities Museum of Natural History, says, “Our results indicate that the apparent absence of these complex animal groups from other Ediacaran sites may reflect differences in preservation rather than true biological absence.”

“Carbonaceous compressions like those at Jiangchuan are rare in rocks of this age, meaning that similar communities may simply not have been preserved elsewhere.”

How Ogham Was Aligned with the Greci-Roman Alphabet.

Eire: Speaking [and Writing] the Irish Tongue! (6.4.2026)

She was also taught English at school by brutal school-masters. The children were beaten until they learned the English words – and this was by Irish teachers. As far as I am aware, Irish is a spoken language that was first written down in Ogham (lines pressed into the edges of clay tablets before firing – or engraved along the edges of standing stones – and known as the tree alphabet). Later, the sounds of Irish were transliterated into the received Greco-Roman alphabet – but this development was a contrivance – so that the invading English could understand what the Irish were saying. It would seem that the modern Irish learn to speak their language as normal – but now write it down using a foreign alphabet (English). Not only is this the case, but it would seem that a “French-like” accent (termed a “fada”) is used in modern Irish literature – such as over an “á” and other letters. Adding this mark – or taking it away – alters the sound of words and therefore the meaning of words. I suppose it amounts to “context” – but regarding literature (that is – the written word of modern Irish). As I cannot speak, read, or write “Irish” – I’m busking at the moment. My claim to fame is that my paternal grandmother (Gladys Kilmurray) could speak Irish – and that when her family members came to the UK to attend her funeral – they spoke Gaelic to one another and English to us. They seemed surprised that we could not speak Irish – but Nana was always reluctant to speak it in England due to the racism she used to receive for being “Irish”. Now, the racists would have believe the Irish have been “White” all along.
