China: Exhibition Held at Palace Museum Highlights Artworks Created by Disabled Artists! (21.11.2025)

When my article “The Invalidation of the Worker” was printed in the far-left British Press – many responses were from Union representatives stating how naïve I was to think that People with Disabilities should be treated with “Equality” and possess equal “Access” to the wealth a capitalist society possesses and has to offer. In other words, the leaders of the working-class in the UK were of the opinion that Person with Disabilities should resign themselves to a life of terminal unemployment, poverty, and exclusion. And that was coming from the left! The right-wing and far-right approach simply talked of “removing” the problem – whilst being very careful not to explain exactly what they meant. Even so-called “Communists” thought the Disabled were surplus to requirement – ignoring the fact that Disabled people helped to assemble tanks in the beleaguered factories of Stalingrad.

Nazi German Propaganda - British Free Corps

USSR: Foreign Waffen-SS Units Fighting for Nazi German During WWII! (15.11.2025)

After-all, WWII was a war of diametrically opposed ideologies. Even Jews (and Muslims) – amongst many other religious and ethnic groups – served in the Wehrmacht and SS formations. What follows is a full list of Waffen-SS Units that were formally established and recruited members into the Nazi German Army (some individuals, such as the Catholic Irish – did join the Nazi Germans [at the behest of the Vatican] – primarily in unofficial SS formations – or were distributed into other groupings due to time constraints and conditions on the ground). This is a list of SS Units that non-Germans could join (out of the hundreds of thousands of British POWs held during WWII – only “54” dared to join these enemy Units. They were tried and sentenced to death after the war). Furthermore, ethnic Germans born and/or living outside Nazi Germany were permitted to form their own SS Units.

The Mobile Gallows of Rutland!

Buddhist-Marxism Alliance (UK) – Mobile Gallows – and How a Judicial Hanging Works! (29.10.2025)

Generally speaking, the Hangman will leave the body hanging for one-hour before the back of the neck is “measured” to prove the bones are separated. Immediately after the Execution is complete – all involved head to the Prison Canteen where they eat a special slap-up breakfast – a celebration that the Will of the State has been successfully carried-out. The Hangman then must return and take-down the body – which is stripped naked and washed before being re-dressed in burial clothing. The deceased body is then placed in a cheap wooden coffin and buried somewhere in the prison grounds in an unmarked grave – whilst the Chaplain carries-out all the relevant duties and procedures. The “Prison Number” of the inmate is inscribed on a secret map recording the location of the grave – kept only in the Governor’s Office. In the UK Judical System – the body of a convicted and executed felon belongs permanently to the State – and can never be given back to his or her family.

Heavy Horses Toil the Dust!

Rutland Farm Park – The Visit! (28.10.2025)

Unlike the City Farms or the bigger commercial entities – the atmosphere is relaxed. Indeed, a cadre of very alert geese provide the security detail – patrolling the grounds and showing the guests which way to travel in and out of the park! I remember once reading in a book at school (a very long time ago) that Celtic people used to live on the top of mountains and hills – and that it was geese (and not dogs) that used to warn the inhabitants of any approaching strangers! Geese “honk” really loud, and are physically brave, being willing to protect their owners with their lives! Brave little fellows they are!

St Peter & St Paul Church - Market Overton

Market Overton: Visiting St Peter & St Paul Church! (28.10.2025)

Culture is an interesting thing – as it often changes and switches. When Henry VIII abolished the Roman Catholic Church in the UK in 1534 (Act of Supremacy) – followed by the Dissolution of the Monasteries – these were tremendous Revolutionary acts that must of shocked the entire population. Even before this, Henry V annulled all foreign-owned abbeys and monasteries (as many English church establishments had been given as gifts to ecclesiastical authorities in other countries) – bringing them into the ownership of the English State. Perhaps the Revolutionary writing was on the wall. Still, out of all this, the “Anglican” (Protestant) movement development – and most of the churches in the UK today are “Protestant” (the Catholic Church was only permitted back into the UK during the early 20th century – but it remains very much a minority religion).

17th Century Safe - Old Wooden Safe - Built In2o Bedroom Wall!

Market Overton: 17th Century Wooden Safe – Built into Bedroom Wall! (26.10.2025)

Anyway, I digress. This morning, and for the first-time in decades, I heard a local Parish Church ring the church-bells – summoning the faithful to worship on this crisp Sunday-morning! I am literally sat in the epicentre of history! Probably far more so than usual. As you can see above – in the bedroom I am frequenting – there is a wooden safe built into the wall. The wood does not seem that secure to me – and I know I could easily place my fist through the door – it seems that thin (not that I would do such a thing). Years ago (in Hong Kong) when I had to punch objects whilst holding an egg in the palm (which had to remain “unbroken”) – the objects I had to hit were far more “stout” than this structure. I cannot not discern any writing on the casing of the safe – but such a craftsman’s signature might be immediately adjacent to the inner wall structure.
