Soviet Red Army Soldiers 1941-42!

USSR: Commemorating May 8-9 “Victory in Europe Day” 1945-2026! (8.6.2026)

We had to wait for the paints to arrive in the post – and I also acquired a box of 1941-42 Soviet Red Army soldiers which we have not yet assembled. The metal P40 aeroplane was purchased at the Imperial War Museum and was used by the US volunteers who fought for China against the Imperial Japanese before and during WWII. the families of these brave American men are still honoured and welcomed in China today. Of course, I include my English and Hakka Chinese grandparents. Alfred Wyles was in the first wave during D-Day, Arthur Gibson fought in the North Atlantic, and Chan Tin Sang fought in the New Territories in the People’s Militia. The USSR lost 41 million men, women, and children between 1941-1945 – 27 million dead and 16 million wounded. As allies of the UK – the Soviet Red Army carried-out the bulk of the fighting. The USSR was comprised of 15 countries – with Russia taking a coordinating role.

Monument to Martyrs of Overseas Military Operations Draws Endless Stream of Visitors

DPRK: Young & Old Respectfully Visit Memorial Museum of Combat Feats of Overseas Military Operations! (6.5.2026)

The images of the dedicated soldiers so brave on the hard-fought battlefields silently dwelt in their individual photos on display but it seems that the cries they let out at their last moments throwing themselves into the enemy pillboxes and committing suicide with their last bullets and grenades still resound as an echo of eternal life, moving all the visitors, young or old, to tears.

The visitors feel great emotion surging inside them, seeing the undying pictures showing what the heroes wished and desired at their last moments and realizing how they laid down their lives to save their sacred honour as soldiers of the Korean People’s Army, turning their love for their beloved parents, wives and children into their hardened will to annihilate the enemy.

Going around the outdoor captured weaponry exhibition area, they recollect with great pride the feats of the warriors who demonstrated the ideological and spiritual superiority and invincible mettle of the Korean People’s Army by inflicting merciless death on the aggressors on alien battlefields by dint of Korean-style tactics.

China urges the U.S. to stop at once the blockade and sanctions as well as coercion and pressuring of any form against Cuba

China: US Urged to Stop Blockade & Sanctions Against Cuba! (6.5.2026)

The spokesperson made the remarks in response to the U.S. move to ramp up sanctions against Cuba. Cuba has said that the U.S.’s illegal and unilateral coercive measures are reprehensible and ridiculous.

The spokesperson said that the U.S. intensification of illicit and unilateral sanctions against Cuba gravely infringes on the Cuban people’s right to subsistence and development and violates the basic norms in international relations.

I First Logged-On the Internet in 2000!

UK: Ask Jeeves Was My First Search-Engine” (4.5.2026)

My mother – Diane Wyles – gave each of her children a “Web TV” to quickly get us all online. This was a small metal box that we connected to the TV which allowed the internet to appear on the screen. We then wrote messages and asked questions via a remote-controlled keypad. All this seemed very advanced at the time – even though the dial-up was analogue and only one person could be online at a time. This was before Google cornered the market and before the bourgeoisie had developed the technology for capitalism to colonise the net and the media to swamp it with false news and disinformation. In just 25-years we lost the freedom the net gave us to defy our own national governments. The status quo has now been re-affirmed and it is business as usual.

My New English Translation of the Yijing!

UK: Honouring Richard Hunn – My Finished Translation of the Book of Change! (4.5.2026)

I was studying the reading (interpretation) of ancient and traditional Chinese ideograms with my teacher – Richard Hunn (1949-2006) – between 1989 and 2006 (as a private student). An offshoot of this was the mastering of the modern (simplified) Chinese text and its corresponding “pinyin” (spell-hear) phonetic alphabet. Since 1949, the Communist Party of China (CPC) has worked wonders reversing the 90% illiteracy-rate and turning it completely around. Today, throughout the entirety of China (a big place) around 90% of the people are literate with some elderly and/or disabled people suffering various (understandable) barriers to being able to read and write. In these cases, various literate citizens are tasked with reading and writing for these individuals – so as to ensure that all their rights are fully pursued and applied under the 1956 Socialist Constitution (and its various updates and improvements).

MOD: WWII (1939-1945) Medal Allocation for Alfred Gregory Wyles (1916-1976)

UK: How the Latest Generation Misuse the Freedom Earned By Others on D-Day! (1.5.2026)

My father’s latest post is linked to the picture of his Dad – who landed in the first wave during D-Day. The UK has collapsed and lost its way. This Labour government is the incarnation of evil – indeed it is nothing but sinister. We are expected to watch our long history and our culture collapse around us and say nothing out of fear of being persecuted by a despotic government. Well, test our mettle if you dare. he way things are going I can see a disaster upon the horizon. Fear not, for I am not afraid. It is from this defiance that hope will be reborn. All despotic regimes eventually topple. Thank you to my father who taught me to be brave, not give a damn, and always move forward! Look at the medals my grandfather won – I owe it to him to keep fighting for what is right.
