Around 50,000 Lived in Cahokia at its Peak!

Cahokia: Native Americans Lived in Cities – Climate Change NOT Responsible for Demise! (9.8.2024)

Natural climate change has always happened – and is happening now – with the caveat that certain Environmentalists now suggest that the agency of human behaviour also contributes to the process of climate change. Indeed, it has become stylish in certain quarters for climate change (natural or unnatural) to be blamed for environmental alterations that cannot be readily or conveniently explained. Until recently, the dominant hypothesis – presented as fact – was that the ancient (Pre-Colombian) City of Cahokia (located in the region of St Louis) had disappeared in the 1200s (13th century) exclusively due to climate change. New academic research, however, has provided reliable (objective) academic evidence that climate change was not partially (or entirely) responsible for the demise of Cahokia.

Dr Li Yan - Shot By US Law Enforcement - 2022

US: Law Enforcement Shoot-Dead “Li Yan” [李艳] – Leading Chinese Academic! (14.6.2024)

In the UK, unarmed Police Constables routinely disarm knife-wielding suspects everyday within hurting or killing these individuals. Only very rarely does a fatality occur. Li Yan speaks in heavily accented English – but it is clear that she thinks she is under attack by men impersonating Police Officers. In her mind she is defending herself with a knife. Although she has paid far more in tax to the US Government than she owed in rent – the Police Officers shot her dead without a second thought. For Chinese people reading this – remember that the West advocates greed over collective responsibility – and White dominance over the rights of non-White people. Being rich and successful will only grant you a partial defence from this State-sponsored murder! Li Yan was an expert in the development of medicine.

Anti-Zionist Protests - US!

US: UC Irvine Academic Workers Join Strike Over Suppression of Pro-Palestinian Protests! (6.6.2024)

The union’s members voted last month to authorize a strike to protest the university’s controversial response to pro-Palestinian demonstrations on campus, which they said has caused unsafe work conditions and violated their free speech rights.

The first UC campus that stood up and withheld labor was UC Santa Cruz where academic workers walked off the job on May 20. The walkout spread to UC Los Angeles and UC Davis on May 28, and further expanded to two more campuses, UC San Diego and UC Santa Barbara, on Monday.

Pro-Palestinian demonstrations have been spreading at colleges and universities across the United States amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict in Gaza. Hundreds were arrested in crackdowns on pro-Palestinian protests and encampments on UC campuses across the state. Around 50 people were arrested on May 15 during police crackdown on a pro-Palestinian protest encampment at UC Irvine.

Ningxia: China’s Disabled People Strive to Achieve Self-Reliance! (5.11.2023)

The disabled community in Ningxia has garnered significant social attention for its impressive achievements in sports. During the recently concluded 4th Asian Para Games held in Hangzhou, athletes from Ningxia achieved notable success.

To nurture the artistic talents of disabled youths, the regional government has also decided to give a subsidy of 10,000 yuan to each of such individuals with abilities in singing, dance, opera and painting.

Ma Juan, a student from Xiji County in Ningxia, is a gifted painter who has received government financial assistance to attend an art school. All her family members are disabled due to a genetic disease.

“It is our responsibility to ensure she has the opportunity to pursue a career,” said Bai Xuegui, the county’s Party chief.

China: More Measures Called for to Boost Births! (11.8.2023)

Citing data from the World Health Organization and recent surveys, Feng said that about one in seven couples across the globe have fertility issues. In China, the number of couples affected by infertility is rising and now accounts for 12 to 18 percent of the total.

While advancing treatments and technologies, he noted that it is essential to attach significance to ethical concerns and risks involved with some associated procedures.

Lu, the fertility doctor, said: “Worldwide, the public’s knowledge of fertility is low. People tend to be overly optimistic about the outcomes of assisted reproductive technologies, but overlook the economic and time costs involved in such procedures.”

Lu suggested strengthening education on fertility health, so as to help young people make appropriate fertility plans and decisions and reduce the incidence of infertility.

When US Muslims UNITED With the Far-Rght to Ban Pride Flags! (19.6.2023)

This left of centre attitude does not take into account the ‘change’ in circumstance some of these communities undergo – or the fact that the far-right trades off of these changes (pointing-out the perceived ‘injustices’)! Of course, this debate hinges on all the elements comprising ‘advantage’ and ‘disadvantage’! What happens when the balance tips the other way? Whereas Black, Hispanic, Latino, Indigenous, Asian and Abiogeny people have had to tolerate White rule over the centuries – what happens when a non-White section of the White-dominated multicultural community comes into a position of political dominance? Well, Gay Pride Flags are banned, of course! Just imagine what will happen if a British community is democratically ‘infiltrated’ by a group of Neo-Nazi Ukrainians – and they vote to ‘ban’ British celebrations surrounding WWII Commemorations! It would become a ‘crime’ to oppose Hitler!
