UK. Stolen Kent WWI Memorial Recovered & Replaced! (10.1.2026)

Although we are not Christians (we have nothing against Christianity – if only it were literally true – or that everyone took Christ serious) – but we are forever in and out of old churches seeking out “old” and “esteemed” history. Our children view churches not as alien places we should not go – but rather as the venerable search-engines of the past (when the Church was the sole preserver of data) into modern focuses of spiritual endeavour in a brutal and material world. Of course, we do not support war, especially imperialist war, but as ordinary workers ourselves, we respect the effort that each ordinary man and woman went through (including the terror of war) who were forced to served in the Armed Forces through circumstance and condition.

WWII: Did Duddington Possess a Home Guard Platoon? (19.10.2023)

I keep a website dedicated to my paternal (‘Wyles’) family name – centred on the Northants village of Duddington – where my family lived for at least the last 500 years (and perhaps longer).

The Germans wanted to use these recordings to train German Colonial Troops – after Germany had won WWI – to invade, settle and control all parts of the UK prior to British culture being usurped, wiped out and eventually replaced with German language and culture!

How the US (and Trotsky) Re-Wrote Soviet History and Reshaped the West! (23.7.2022)

The average Russian worker had never experienced such good times! Men and women were equal in every field, and children’s rights were recognised and respected! All adults over 18 years old could vote, education was free for all and truly universal! Industrial output and agricultural were booming as the Soviet State combined full employment together with scientific organisation, planning and advanced technology! Non-Europeans (including the Chinese and Koreans amongst many others, including Africans and African-Americans) frequented the schools, factories, medical centres and sporting facilitates! The Workers and Peasant Red Army employed men and women and explored many and different ways of projecting the USSR. The population expressed their gratitude and support by continuously ‘voting’ Joseph Stalin into Office (yes, the Soviet population participated in numerous and many democratic elections)!
