USSR: Grover Furr Explains the Link Between Putin, Stalin and Trotsky! (4.2.2024)

Of course, Franco was armed by Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy – whilst the USSR rallied the International Working Class (via the Communist Party). These brave men and women made their own way to Spain and fought and died in the ‘International Brigades’ – under the protection and care of the Soviet Union whilst their own countries considered them ‘criminals’. Even the Bourgeois tractor – George Orwell – joined an anti-Soviet ‘Anarchist’ Brigade! The point is that Grover Furr correctly states that the US, UK and France (even during 1940) would rather have fought with Nazi Germany against the USSR – than with the USSR against Nazi Germany! Joseph Stalin was the genuine hero of the International Working-Class – and Leon Trotsky the worst type of International Traitor!

Email: Tariq Ali and Churchill – Beware Trotskyites Bearing Gifts! (21.12.2023)

The post-1945 UN, of course, was heavily influenced by Joseph Stalin at its beginning – hence Tariq Ali’s attack upon it. Tariq Ali is actually discussing the pre-existing ‘League of Nations’ – rather than the UN – but this is all part of his ‘entryist’ strategy that misleads as it informs. As a secular Muslim he automatically takes the Palestinian side – which is an expression of the inherently ‘racist’ attitudes that exist within Trotskyism (hence Ali’s anti-China views). The argument against Israeli fascism is one of the asymmetric application of International Law – and should not involve the arbitrary application of ‘race’ or ‘religion’.

Lewisham: Locating the Now Lost “Horton Street”! (25.11.2023)

During September, 1940, Nazi Germany unleashed its ‘Blitz’ attack on London! The Luftwaffe dropped thousands of tonnes of bombs on East London – as Hitler sought to destroy the physical bodies of the British working-class (thus preventing them from joining the British Arm Forces) – and to destroy the morale of those who were left! Not only this, by bombing various targets in the UK – using conventional Bomber-Aeroplanes and unconventional Flying Bombs (the fabled ‘V’ or ‘Vengeance’ weapons) Hitler attempted to rip the infrastructure of the UK from beneath the feet of its inhabitants! In the 18 months of intense blanket-bombing – a tactic Hitler had perfected in Spain during the Civil War (1936-1939) in that country – around 70,000 British people were killed!

Imperial War Museum: How a WWII British Anderson Shelter Saved the Lives of My Family! (26.10.2023)

There were different types of government-provided air-raid shelters issued during WWII. However, the version depicted here – is very close to that issued to my mother’s family (surnamed ‘Gibson’) who lived in Lewisham, South London. During September, 1940, the Nazi Germany ‘Luftwaffe’ blanket-bombed East London and killed and wound thousands of British people. During the entire 18-months of the ‘Blitz’ – the Luftwaffe inflicted 40,000 casualties in London and 70,000 all across the UK! My family lived in a three-storied house in Fordyce Road – with a generation living on each floor.

Kent: Chislehurst Caves! (7.10.2023)

As something of a hobby that its becoming ever more prominent and important as I get older – I have penned an article about the local Home Guard Unit (the 54th Kent Battalion) which operated in the area – that will be published shortly on a dedicated historical website. This Home Guard Unit had the unexpected duty of ‘Policing’ the exterior of the caves and ensuring that law and order was maintained by the thousands of evacuees who turned-up. There was also the issue of ensuring that there was no trouble between the locals and the newly arrived – as Britain is rife with regional conflicts! A positive gained from this influx meant that there was plenty of men and women available to join and assist the Home Guard – making this area one of the best manned of the Civil Defence Authorities! Remember – the Home Guard was premised upon Socialist principles!

WWII: My Tribute to the Excellent British ‘Home Guard’ (LDVF) and Some of My Published Work! (6.10.2023)

My maternal (‘Gibson’) family used to live in Lewisham, East London – until they were bombed-out by Hitler during the Blitz of September 1940 (the Blitz would go on to kill 70,000 British people between 1940-1941 – with 40,000 deaths in London alone). The Gibson family were then evacuated to the ‘Forest Hill’ area of Oxfordshire – due to them having a ‘nephew’ living in the area. In 1983, a book focusing on local history was commissioned entitled ‘Forest Hill with Shotover – A Portrait (1983)’. This was published by the ‘Forest Hill Women’s Association’. The Story of my grandfather – Arthur Gibson – and his family arriving in the area is recorded on Pages 28-29
