PrOP-M - Soviet Rover - 1971

USSR: The 1971 Mars 2 & Mars 3 Missions – Carried the 1st Soviet-Made “Mars Rovers” [PrOP-M]! (18.8.2026)

The USSR and Eastern Europe had been devastated by Hitler during WWII with the Soviets suffering 41 million (killed and wounded) casualties whilst large swathes of the Western USSR was materially devastated. Leningrad, of course, was reduced to starvation by the Nazi blockade (rather like what Trump II is attempting to do to Cuba). Despite suffering that material and psychological devastation – within a few short years of reconstruction directed by Joseph Stalin – the country was able to regroup and direct its resources toward space exploration, a process which sent shockwaves throughout the world of the US, a place which had suffered no material or economic damage during WWII. Make no mistake about, although Stalin passed away in 1953 – everything that unfolded in the USSR from a technological position – manifested from the groundwork laid by Stalin between 1945-1953. This dialectical preparation sustained the country for decades despites its leaders betraying Stalin and taking the country in a Counter-Revolutionary direction. Indeed, the Mars 2 and Mars 3 Soviet fact-finding missions to Mars in 1971 both carried a version of the world’s first “rover” designed to explore the area immediately surrounding the lander (or “Mars Station”). This “Device Assessing [through] Cross-Country Capability-Mars” [Прибор оценки проходимости-Марс – Pribor otsenki prokhodimosti-Mars] or “ПрОП-М” [PrOP-M] was attached to the lander via a 15 metre tethering cable (similar to the first-generation remote controls attached to TV sets and video recorders).

Soviet Binoculars & Soviet Hat

UK: Finding a Pair of Genuine CCCP Binoculars in a Local Charity Shop! (25.7.2026)

There were shops in major cities in the USSR reserved for visitors – that were designed to exhibit the best quality goods the Soviet Union had to offer. What is interesting that nowhere on this product is a price mentioned – not even on the Certificate – which makes wonder whether this device was “gifted” rather than sold. Although it is said that Soviet citizens could not afford to shop at the special tourist shops – due to the prices charged (these prices were still relatively cheap for foreign visitors – my great uncle flew from one-side of the USSR to the other for £5) this really did not matter, as Soviet citizens would receive these goods either “free” (provided by the State) or at a fraction of the price charged to rich foreigners. You can see how Western propaganda used every opportunity to “lie” about the Soviet Union and give the impression of inequality or oppression. My great uncle – a former Coldstream Guardsman – used to practice photography as a hobby, and he would regularly fly to the USSR to purchase cameras – as Soviet cameras possessed the best lenses (perfected during the Space Race). Photography in the 1950s and 1960s was a completely different beast to the contemporary equivalent.

UK: Anti-China Racism [1971] – Black & White Minstrel Show! (5.7.2026)

. Their body language became coquettish and supposedly seductive – as Asian women were viewed as something akin to prostitutes (being always available for sexual activity). Chinese people (in relatively small numbers) had been in the UK for hundreds of years – but in 1919 the British government ethnically-cleansed 20,000 Chinese from the UK (I think around the Liverpool area) as part of a post-WWI expression of British (racist) nationalism. In 1946, the Labour government expelled around 2000 Chinese people from London – effectively ending the “Chinatown” that existed in the East of that city (Docklands). It was not until 1956 that the Tory government once again allowed British-Chinese to come to live in the UK from the British colony of Hong Kong (creating the neew “Chinatown” in Gerrard Street) – this is when my Chinese grandfather – Chan Tin Sang (1924-1993) – came to the UK. In the clip above, White men are dressed-up as Black men, dressed-up as Chinese men – being neither “Black” nor “Chinese”. The White woman is yellow-facing – being neither “Asian” nor “Chinese”. As no one would employ Chinese people – they had to create jobs. Washing dirty clothes was one of their first industries – but this soon transitioned into selling their ethnic food – which became very successful.

US: Hilarious Trump Anti-Intellectualism Accuses SPLC of Perpetuating the Far-Right Racism It Exposes! (23.6.2026)

Of course, along the way, the SPLC ligned itself with opposing race issues and financed left-leaning Whites to infiltrate the very dangerous “Whites Only” far-right groups that litter the US hinterland – and report back on the terrorist activities these groups were planning and perpetuating. As the combined intellect of the Trump Administration is probably around 70 (less than a medium-sized dog) – it would have you believe that the SPLC deliberately recruited and trained White people to be racist – ad then paid them to infiltrate this “racism” into completely innocent and benign far-right institutions. What? The racism these groups advocate is not only historical – but very well-known. Indeed, this racism existed long before the SPLC was founded. What has irritated the Trump II circus is that the SPLC has added various right-wing conservative groups to its lists of the proscribed – due primarily to their gay-hate rhetoric. That and the fact the SPLC refused to eulogise the murdered Charlie Kirk. Well, you’ve got to laugh at the sheer madness of it all!

US Anti-Intellectualism is Hilarious!

China: US Should Follow UN Resolution 2758! (1.10.2025)

The resolution states that the restoration of the lawful rights of the People’s Republic of China is essential both for the protection of the UN Charter and for the cause that the UN must serve under the charter.

Recalling these words, the position paper said the UN is at the centre of the post-World War II international order.

Any attempt to challenge the resolution constitutes not only a challenge to China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, but also a challenge to the authority of the UN and the international order, it said.

Warning that “flagrantly reversing the course of history is absurd and highly dangerous”, the paper said the status of Taiwan as a part of China’s territory has never changed and shall never change.

Red Army - Gustav Wehler - Hitler's Double!

USSR: Last Secret of the Fuhrer – Why Did the Losing Nazis Need a Hitler Double? (18.2.2024)

After killing and maiming around 41 million Soviet men, women and children in the USSR, and despite the advancing Red Army losing one hundred thousand troops a week – a score had to be settled whilst the Western Allies held their forces back in the West to await developments. Hitler’s fanatical troops had to be ground-down almost street by street! Indeed, it is said by British historian – Hugh Trevor-Roper – that it was a Soviet Army Medical Unit comprised of ‘armed’ female Soviet Nurses that first made their way into the Reich Chancellery Garden. These brave women had to defend themselves from Snipers and Nazi German troops – whilst tasked with searching-out and treating any men, women or children they found – regardless of ethnicity. Proof of this lies in the fact that these women advanced ahead of the Soviet Red Army.
