Everest: How PRC Climber – “Xu Jingzeng” [许竞曾] – Located the Body of – Andrew Irvine – in 1960! (24.12.2024)

There is still a chance. The camera they carried with them at the time was not found. Perhaps Irvine’s body will be found one day, which may solve this century-old mystery.

I saw an article on the Internet reporting that Chinese mountaineer Xu Jingzeng once said that he had seen Irvine’s body at 8,300 meters on Mount Everest in 1960. Yesterday, a netizen commented in my previous article that the documentary about the Chinese climbing Mount Everest in 1960 mentioned that they found the bodies of foreign climbers during the climb.

In 1960, the Chinese completed the first ascent of Mount Everest from the north slope. Before that, there were only a few climbing records, including Mallory in 1921 and 1924. It is indeed possible that they found Irvine’s remains, but no one paid attention to these things at the time, and they were lost in history again.

Oxygen & Y-Fronts!

Mount Everest: Oxygen, Spoons, Y-Fronts, Mallory & Irvine – My Xmas Address! (24.12.2024)

As the “Nationalists” had taken over China in 1911 – there is absolutely NO negative anti-China tropes at any point in the English narrative – either in the early 1920s – or from the contemporary author, which is incredible when you consider the “Nationalists” destroyed the five-thousand year-old Imperial System! The “Nationalists” evolved away from their original leftwing base (under Sun Yatsen) – and morphed into a pro-Japanese, and pro-capitalist entity – chopping-off the heads of thousands who disagreed. Tibet was part of China then as of now – but Mallory discusses only the Office of the Dalai Lama being the Authorities the British had to negotiate with (whilst in reality this Office continuously liaised with Beijing). When British explorers visited Buddhist monasteries without permission from Lhasa – the Dalai Lama (the 13th I believe) would summon the offending Abbot (Head Monk) to Lhasa to have his eyes plucked-out using the old trusty “Ceremonial Spoon” (first offense) in private. If he persisted in his criminal behaviour (defined as “promiscuous compassion”) – he would be “skinned alive” (second offence) in public – with his dead body NOT hacked-up and fed to the vultures.

Puyi Loved the USSR!

When the Last Emperor of China Applied to Join the Communist Party! (14.2.2024)

On August 19th, 1945, Puyi was in a Waiting Room attempting to escape on a flight to Japan from the Shenyang Dongta Airport (situated in Manchuria – Northeast China). Together with Japanese Officials and a number of Imperial Japan’s Kwantung Army Generals – Puyi was captured by members of the Soviet Red Army Parachute Regiment (with NKVD Elements) – a Special Force despatched for this very important military operation! Many Soviet POWs had been captured by the Nazi Germans and sent to Manchuria – where they were illegally experimented upon by Unit 731 of the Imperial Japanese Army. Such Soviet prisoners were boiled alive, frozen to death, vivisected, castrated, and used in experiments testing various illnesses, gases, and munitions of all kinds. These Soviet men and women suffered alongside millions of Chinese people and other Asians – including a smaller number of Westerners. Despite the evil perpetuated by the machinations of Japanese fascism – the soldiers of the Soviet Red Army treated Puyi (and his Imperial Japanese allies) very well. Indeed, an NKVD Operative politely enquired of Puyi (in the Mancherian language), ‘Your Majesty – are you the Emperor of China?’

The Use of the Cavalry Lance (‘Pike’) and the Red Army (1924) 

In general, the combination of today’s ‘unusual’ cavalry soldier with this type of horse is very far, unfortunately, from the image that is desirable or associated with a ‘traditional’ cavalryman. Meanwhile, a ‘pike’ (or ‘lance’) is good only in the hands of an excellent rider, sitting on an excellent and well-trodden horse! History sufficiently proves (through a number of examples) that in the absence of these two vital attributes – the pike is only a burden that rushes into battle without finding any effective use for itself!

Soviet History: The Embalming of Lenin’s Body – Fact and Fiction (1924)

He looked the part and put his money where his mouth was – which is an ironic observation for a Socialist great leader of humanity who had absolutely no interest in amassing of personal wealth (as is normal for his capitalist counter-parts). Part of the US-led demonisation of Joseph Stalin (for which there is no reliable objective evidence) exists to sully his good name amongst the working-class and turn their affections toward the traitor Leon Trotsky (a collaborator with fascism and supporter of the capitalist status quo). Modern Russia, today, as a bourgeois (capitalist) country now allows this typical of hypocritical debate prevalent in the West. This means that the ‘true’ (verifiable) narrative of Soviet history is presented alongside the false narratives of Trotskyism and US anti-intellectualism – as if the latter two categories are of ‘equal historical worth’ to the first (and only) ‘legitimate’ category. In other words, fact and fiction compete for influence and deliberate ‘lying’ is accepted as a legitimate means of historical interpretation and understanding. The point of this ‘process’ is to ‘disinform’ the masses and generate a ‘false’ impression about Soviet history. To remedy this, I have carefully read through and assessed a number of Russian-language texts – and translated the relevant extracts into reliable English.
