Yellow Submarine: Heinz Edelmann’s Anti-Beatles Attitude! (13.4.2023) 

Heinz Edelmann’s depiction of The Beatles consists of the lower part of the body being larger than the upper part of the body – this is the basic contradiction that is responsible for creating the dramatic effect. The lower part of the body (from the waist down through the legs to the feet) is ‘feminised’ through the hourglass type angles used. At the time, this was very unusual but fits-in very well with today’s gender-aware society. Perhaps it is an allusion to the ‘non-binary’ reality of contemporary identity (male, female, intersex and asexual, etc). Whether Heinz Edelmann intended any of this is a matter open to debate. His ‘Nazi’ attitudes would suggest not. My view is that the ‘Blue Meanies’ are in reality the British Police Service which was busy in the late 1960s launching ‘drugs raids’ against all and sundry (including against John Lennon and Yoko Ono)! As the British Police ‘confiscated’ the cannabis herb (and prevented it from being smoked) – they were referred to as the ‘Blue Meanies’! As it is not politically correct to speak about the British Police in negative terms – the real identity of the ‘Blue Meanies’ has to remain ‘hidden’ and ‘obscured’ from today’s youth!

Israel Launches Airstrikes on Syria in Response to 2 Rocket Attacks! (9.4.2023)

The unusual rocket attacks came amid days of escalating violence on multiple fronts. The Israeli army on Thursday and Friday struck southern Lebanon and Gaza Strip as Israel accused Hamas and other militant groups of being responsible for firing dozens of rockets at Israel.

The latest tension was triggered by Israeli raids of the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound, during a sensitive holiday time as Muslims were observing the holy month of Ramadan with prayers at the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound and Jews were commemorating the Passover holiday.

Over the past years, Israel has conducted a shadow war in Syria, with numerous airstrikes aimed at Iranian targets or weapons convoys belonging to Hezbollah, an Iran-backed Lebanese group. However, the Israeli-Syrian border has remained largely calm.

The Golan Heights is a disputed territory that Israel seized from Syria in the 1967 Middle East war and annexed in 1981, in a move not recognized by most of the international community.

Philippines: Why the Vatican Ordered Attacks on The Beatles! (7.4.2023) 

In many ways this story of The Beatles exemplifies the era (and contradictions) inherent in the 1960s! There were definitely Revolutionary (dialectical) forces in operation not just in the West – but throughout the world! Paul McCartney would pen a song entitled ‘Back in the USSR’ (about a Cold War Soviet spy returning from service in the US – where he understood just how ‘bad’ life is for the average person living under capitalism) and John Lennon would write a song entitled ‘Revolution’ – and record at least 18 versions of it within which he ‘might’ or ‘might not’ support a violent ‘Revolution’ depending upon how he felt on the day!

Victor Lewis Smith – Smashing Things to Pieces! (28.2.2023) 

Although I find what he was doing a demonstration of the Britain I love – the natural left-wing ‘freedom of thought’ and ‘expression’ I was brought up with – I recently watched a a video of a young man in his twenties in the UK describe the ‘Gay Daleks’ sketch as being ‘fascist’! This reminds me of those deluded young people who think US hegemony (and EU bigotry) equal ‘Internationalism’ – and that totalitarian conformity (as decreed by the US system) represents the highest form of individual freedom! These lost souls carry flags featuring Che Guevara next to flags of the EU – and stupidly believe that they are being ‘Revolutionary’! Such people are unable to think for themselves and understand that Neo-Nazi Ukraine is the enemy, and that Russia is fighting these Hitleresque forces once again – sacrificing its people for the containment of fascism! Victor Lewis Smith may not have been a ‘Communist’ (who knows?) but at least he exercised his ‘freedom of thought’ and did not compromise!
