UK: I Turned Myself into an AI-Generated Deathbot – Here’s What I Found! (9.2.2026)

In many ways – the fascism inherent within Zionism – is a method developed to defend Jews from outside fascism. On the face of it – these developments, as irritating as they are – do represent a type of “studied” genius. This does not mean that the religious claims of Judaism are correct – or even rational. Do not forget that the telephone was originally developed not as a means of mass communication – but rather as a method enabling living people on this plane to contact disembodied beings existing on the spiritual plane. This Christian assumption turned-out to be false – and humanity was left with a piece of technology that linked living people on this plane – regardless of distance between callers. Religious myths often serve as the starting points for advanced technological developments. I remember on the early internet (c. 2000) when people encountered one another online and acted as if we were meeting one another on the street – or in a bar – using a measured politeness. Of course, the young messed it all up because they did not know any better (it is not their fault – but our fault as elders). I suspect people cannot stand me whilst I am alive – and certainly would not like to be reminded of “me” – once I have shuffled-off this mortal coil – as Shakespeare said. My father is nearing his physical end – he knows this and is happy with it. We hate capitalism – and he said to me that all the suffering will cease with a final, outward breath. So be it.

Racist Trump is a Threat to World Peace!

UK: A Not So-Surprising History of Trump’s Racism! (9.2.2026)

This will not be the last time something like this happens – the White House has taken it down, blaming a junior staffer – which is odd as we are told Trump does all his own posting and it went up at midnight – but at least it’s not up there anymore.

But the damage has been done, whatever mask there may have been has slipped.

The test for all of us now comes in how we respond the next time it happens.

Donald Trump has not apologised for the video, shared on his Truth Social account, depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as apes, saying “I didn’t make a mistake”.

The post was deleted around 12 hours after being shared.

The US president said “of course” he condemned the racist parts of the video.

In 1973, the Department of Justice sued Donald Trump and his father for alleged racial discrimination at Trump housing developments in New York. The case was settled two years later with no admission of guilt.

The five men wrongly convicted of raping a woman in Central Park have sued Donald Trump on accusations of making “false and defamatory” statements during a presidential debate against former vice president Kamala Harris in 2024.

Mr Trump has tried to have the lawsuit dismissed, but has so far been unsuccessful.

China: Nauru’s President – David Adeang – Traces His Ancestral Roots to Kaiping, Guangdong – Reunites with Relatives – Enjoying Seasonal Lychees! (9.2.2026)

David Adeang led his family to worship his Chinese ancestors according to his hometown customs – and express his remembrance and gratitude to his ancestors. After that, the President and his party also planted a banyan tree opposite the Su’an’s residence, symbolizing the family roots. On that day, Nauruan President Adeang sat around with the villagers and ate seasonal lychees (Dragon Eyes). Adeang’s maternal grandmother – Tan Huixia (譚惠霞) – is 81 years old and in good spirits.

At the Overseas Chinese Museum in the Overseas Chinese Capital of China, Adeang and his delegation visited the “Roots in Overseas Chinese Township” Jiangmen Overseas Chinese History Exhibition, learned about the arduous and glorious entrepreneurial history of overseas Jiangmen overseas Chinese, and appreciated the profound and unique overseas Chinese culture in Jiangmen Wuyi Overseas Chinese Township.

Nauru: President David Adeang Arrives in Guangzhou for Ancestral Visit & Chinese New Year! (9.2.2026)

During the visit, Adeang will also travel to Jiangmen City, his ancestral hometown in Guangdong, to reunite with clan members and celebrate Xiaonian. He will also visit Guangzhou and Foshan, meet with provincial and municipal officials, and tour local enterprises to explore ways to further deepen practical cooperation between Guangdong and Nauru.

Most ethnic Chinese in Nauru originate from Guangdong Province. According to verification by relevant authorities, Adeang’s maternal great-grandfather hailed from Zhongxinli, Zhonggu Village, Kaiping City, Jiangmen. His ancestors migrated to Southeast Asia more than a century ago in search of a livelihood and later settled in Nauru.

Dr. Yandry Alfonso Chang, director of Medical Assistance and Medicines in the territory, reflects on this case with a mixture of professional pride and citizen concern.

Cuba: Mateo’s Story – A [Socialist] Hymn to Life in the Midst of Adversity! (8.2.2026)

The story of the doctors at the José Luis Miranda Provincial Paediatric Hospital is that of a daily triumph against adverse odds.

In front of Mateo, anaesthesiologists, surgeons, neonatologists and nurses joined in a perfect choreography of knowledge and dedication; What in any other place would have meant an unattainable bill for a humble family, here was a right exercised: complex neonatal surgery, mechanical ventilation, parenteral nutrition and 24-hour surveillance, at no cost.

However, that “no cost” contains a bitter truth: it is the result of a titanic effort by the Cuban State to sustain what is free while navigating against a tide of prohibitions.

Dad - Torbay Hospital 1.2.2026

Paignton: Hadleigh Court Care Home – Care Quality Commission [CQC] Latest Report – “Requires Improvement” – Do Not Send Your Relatives Here! (7.2.2026)

The now “all White” staff took exception to my father’s daughter in law being “Chinese” – and his two grand daughters being of mixed heritage. As old and disabled as he is, my father would get up, wash, get dressed, and order a taxi to my mother’s home to see us (here, my father expressed the will-power that saw his father land in the first wave of British troops on D-Day – and survive) – as he did not want Gee, Mei-An, or Kai-Lin subjected to the normalised racism that was now rampant in the home. As my father stood his corner – a semi-paralysed man in his 80s – the Manager of Hadleigh Court issued him with an Eviction Order – laughably asserting that he is “racist”! Recently, on a routine hospital check – the Manager of Hadleigh court refused for my father to be allowed back into the home. Hadleigh Court was assisted in this by the equally corrupt Torbay Social Services – so nothing new there. As a result of all this, my father is in Torbay Hospital with Social Services refusing to let other care homes take him – as we are a family “prone to complaining”! And that is where things stand. South Devon is a fairly backward area and so the impoverished masses are easily controlled by a few rich people and their Authoritarian lackeys. They do not like the workers standing up to their oppression – but standing up to oppression is what we do best. Do not allow your loved one to be plunged into the dungeon that is Hadleigh Court under this current Manager and staff regime. Hit the capitalists were it hurts – in the purse. It is the only pain that matters to them – as they do not care about the very real pain that their greed and racism inflicts on us. Still, we do not want sympathy from others – as we are all in the same boat – and we certainly do not want your money. We, instead, express our solidarity to every worker who is currently suffering oppression and violence at the hands of the capitalists – an oppression that has not been reduced under the rule of a right-wing Labour government. My mother – Diane Wyles – who is in her late 70s, is bravely fighting a rear-guard action against the corruption of the UK Authorities. Whave each other – tha is all that matters!
