Far-Right Attack on Black Statue!

St Thomas NHS Hospital: Fascist Desecration of “Mary Seacole” Statue! (15.8.2024)

Essentially, the situation comes down to this. The adherence of fascist ideology lack self-control. The fascists lack the ability to think good and clear thoughts and to act in a decisive and constructive manner. The irregular functioning of their thought processes is manifest in the illogical movements of their bodies. All sense of logicality is lost from start to finish. Such individuals are NOT happy with the present moment they exist within – and want to tear down the familiar. Like all religionists – the fascist thinks that a different world exists beyond that which can be experienced every day – and that a special person will emerge from the masses (a new Hitler, Mussolini or Hirohito) that possesses an innate (religious-like) ability to put all things right and remove all unwanted people (and signs of their presence) from society.

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.
