Half-Penny from 1966

Brixham: Coins in the Wall! (2.4.2026)

Administrative matters aside – I notice the above “interior” wall looks as if it used to be an “external” wall – as it looks weather-beaten and worn. Furthermore, in the UK, builders often leave a coin featuring the year any renovations were carried-out as a form of “good luck”. Usually, we find these coins under floor-boards, carpets, and lino, etc. Sometimes they are lodged between wooden joints or under various structures. In this wall, the coins seem cemented on the outside of the wall. There is a 1966 half-penny, and a 1960 three-penny. When I was first at school in the early 1970s – these coins were still in use. The old half-penny would today possess the buying power of £5 – whilst the three-penny bit could buy about £30s worth of goods. This was before the UK joined the EEC (1.1.1973). Prior to this, a British pound was comprised of 240 pence – afterwards it was deliberately devalued to just “100” pence. What a disgrace all this was!

The Traitor Shi Ping! Do Not Associate With Him!

China: Counter-Measures Imposed Against Seki Hei! (8.9.2025)

This story is only for those diasporic Chinese eyes that are hostile to Socialist China. Despite supposedly possessing no formal education – Shi Ping suddenly graduated from a University the CPC sent him to – for free. In Japan, Shi Ping is known by the Japanese-name of “せきへい” (Sekihei). He sides historically with Imperial Japan – and spends his time writing articles that “deny” Japanese War Crimes. He even lectures on the same subject, but here’s the irony – whilst not being ethnically “Japanese” – Shi Ping receives continues anti-China racism for not being Japanese! This is the very anti-China racism that led to Japan’s wartime atrocities in the first-place!

The Beatles: Revolver Super Deluxe 5 CD Box-Set! (11.6.2025)

This is a new stereo mix, sourced directly from the original four-track master tapes. The technology has produced a stunning clarity of sound – with the help of cutting edge “de-mixing” technology developed by Peter Jackson’s WingNut Films Productions Ltd. Included is the GRAMMY Award-winning original album artwork created by Klaus Voormann, the Super Deluxe CD and vinyl house a beautiful book featuring Paul McCartney’s Foreword, an introduction by Giles Martin, an essay by Questlove, and insightful chapters by Kevin Howlett. I read somewhere that Peter Jackson wanted specifically to use the technology he developed to update and synchronise the sound-tracks to all his Lord of the Rings films. As these films were produced well-over a decade and years a part – the technology improved as they filmed. Now, the older sound-tracks can be brought into line with the latest – increasing the quality and viewing experience. Peter Jackson was adamant that he only wanted to work on “Revolver”. Listening to the original “mono” proves just how spectacular The Beatles actually were. By comparison, “stereo” seems lazy!

British Inspired Massacres!

Indonesia “Too Close” to China – British Government Incited an Anti-Chinese Massacre! (26.5.2024)

Soe Tjen Marching is a lecturer at the School of Oriental and African Studies at the University of London. Her father was persecuted and imprisoned by the Indonesian military. She said that the actions against the Chinese in 1965 “led to a large extent to generating lethal levels of suspicion and discrimination between Chinese and non-Chinese Indonesians. Therefore, the British government urgently needs to apologize.”

Tabor’s Steve Alston said his organization was “appalled that the UK government is involved in a disinformation campaign that incites violence”. Tabor is an NGO that monitors Human Rights issues in Indonesia. Alston said: “Faced with this evidence, the UK government must now commit to launching an investigation by an independent prosecutor and completing it within 18 months.”

How The Beatles Changed Everything – Except Capitalism! (2.5.2023) 

Lennon followed Ono to New York, and this decision cost him his life. Not only this, but it cost him his credibility by becoming mixed-up with the Bourgeois libertines of that scene! One such character that Ono introduced him to was ‘David Peel’ – a former member of the US Army – who after his Honourable Discharge masqueraded as a street artist and countercultural guru! He can be seen ‘duetting’ with GG Allin as he sings a song advocating the sexual abuse of young children – a performance YouTube is quite happy to host – whilst it blocks any serious attempts to present genuine history, Israeli War Crimes and left-wing political rhetoric, etc. David Peel is interviewed calling for John Lennon to be President – whilst simultaneously agitating for the destruction of Disco music (?) an important component of Black cultural identity in the 1970s!

Ian MacDonald: Revolution in the Head – Extracts Featuring Marx & Mao! (18.4.2023) 

Imperial Japan initiated military violence against the people of China between 1931-1945. This was a fascist expansion that spread throughout Asia and even threatened the US! I am told that around 60 million men, women and children were killed and wounded during these terrible years throughout China – a number that includes Europeans. A fact often ignored is the part that Yoko Ono’s family played in this era. Her family were ardent ultra-nationalists who supported this racist war. Yoko Ono defied the ‘racist’ attitudes of her family by entering into a relationship with a ‘White’ foreigner. Indeed, when touring Japan during 1966 (and before meeting Yoko Oni) – The Beatles would encounter this evil face of Japanese racism when they played the Budokan! Ultra-Nationalists in Japan threatened the life of The Beatles if they played in a sacred arena – as their ‘Whiteness’ threatened to spiritually ‘pollute’ the arena usually reserved for the devout practice of Japanese martial arts! Yoko Ono may have defied her parent’s anti-Western racism – but she definitely retained their attitudes pertaining to anti-China racism! All the evidence points to Yoko Ono attempting to ‘cure’ John Lennon of his infatuation with ‘Maoism’ (and of course, ‘May Pang’)!
