Israel: Bill to Allow Execution of Palestinian Prisoners by Hanging! (14.1.2026)

Prisoners sentenced to death would be held in complete isolation, with visits restricted exclusively to authorized personnel. Details of executions would be published on the Israel Prison Service’s website, while the identities of those carrying out the sentence would remain confidential.

Since the start of Israel’s genocidal war, the regime has sharply escalated its violations against Palestinian detainees, particularly those from the besieged Gaza Strip, including starvation, torture, sexual violence and systematic denial of medical care.

Late last month, a report by leading Palestinian prisoner advocacy groups said Israel was committing a “systematic genocide” against Palestinians held in Israeli detention,

Plugging in a microwave does not make a room a flat, a judge has ruled

UK: Judge Johns KC – “A Room Cannot Be Turned into a Flat Simply by Plugging in a Microwave!” (1.1.2026)

The owners also challenged that decision, but judges at another tribunal ruled in the council’s favour again, according to the Local Democracy Reporting Service.

Judge Johns KC said a room could not “be turned into a flat simply by plugging in a microwave.”

He added there was “no relevant storage, no food preparation area” and that planning laws were supposed to “protect people in the occupation of their homes, not to encourage them to cook their own meals”.

Despite the second rejection, the company has now sought to appeal the verdict.

A hotel spokesman said the building stopped housing homeless people about two years ago.

Paul Wells, the council’s Conservative portfolio holder for licensing, said the authority was “delighted” with the ruling, which “sets a precedent for all local authorities that want to improve housing standards for residents”.

“Our teams worked exceptionally hard to achieve this result and deserve real credit,” he added.

Court highlights a raft of errors in High Court judgment after wife hid more than 70% of her wealth in pre-nuptial agreement.

UK: Court of Appeal Overturns Ruling Upholding Pre-Nuptial Agreement – Due to Wife’s ‘Fraudulent Non-Disclosure’! (3.8.2025)

The ruling marks a rare appellate intervention in the context of pre-nuptial agreements. Lady Justice King stressed that the court’s conclusion should not be seen as undermining Radmacher, nor as any shift in the law: “So long as there is no statutory scheme, Radmacher will continue to bind this court. […] Pre-nuptial agreements are about the autonomy of the parties to determine for themselves what should be the fair outcome in the event that their marriage fails.” However, the judge continued, where the parties themselves set out a disclosure regime in the agreement, any deliberate misrepresentation of that disclosure – particularly when induced by one party – is liable to vitiate the agreement. “[W]ilful or fraudulent breach of that agreement […] is entirely different from the position in Radmacher,” she concluded.

TCM is Highly Regulated in the PRC!

China: Hou [侯] Family Sentenced for Fake TCM Treatment – Full Story! (18.2.2025)

There is a tradition within Chinese culture of “Master to Disciple” transmission of spiritual, medicinal, and martial culture (I know – as I have been a recipient and beneficiary of it). This still occurs within the Chinese diaspora – and it still happens in Mainland China – but with the caveat that modern China requires a rigorous professional approach when it comes to medicine and selling treatments to the public. TCM has been aligned with the educational standards of modern medicine – both of which are available to Chinese citizens. In fact, there are entire hospitals dedicated to TCM within which all the staff are university-educated. Mainland TCM doctors also have surgeries throughout the West – and are often not cheap to consult (although some offered “free” treatment to Westerners during the Covid-19 Pandemic). Regardless, a number of law-abiding citizens in China disagree with what the Hou family has experienced via the PRC Judiciary.

Suspect is "Asian" Male!

How the US Media Covered Death of Zhuang Menghan [庄梦涵]! (14.2.2025)

Investigators said a man had arrived with Zhuang at the condo the night before on Feb. 3., and there is video of the same man exiting the condo through the second-story bedroom window on the afternoon of the day she was discovered.

During a Thursday news conference, investigators released a photo of the man they hope to identify and locate. Modica said he couldn’t confirm if the suspect is a CalArts student or not.  Homicide investigators believe that people in the area may have seen this person of interest.

“It is clear this is not a random act of violence, and Menghan somehow knew the person of interest, evidenced by bringing that person into her apartment,” Modica said.

The Case of Judge Tracie Hunter! (12.7.2023)

This lady possesses the education and status that working-class people do not – and has been able to defend herself in a manner that the average worker would be unable to do. She has stood her moral ground when the entire ‘White’ system was against her! Today, the KKK, White Lives Matter, the Aryan Brotherhood and the New Patriot Movement, etc, (all comprised of a small bigoted ‘White’ minority from South Texas), have replaced the noose for collective physical and online action!
