China: People’s Credit Evaluation System Defined! (25.9.2025)

Yes – China interfaces with the capitalist West – and generates its own wealth through trade (as Lenin and Mao suggested). To do this, the two respective banking systems, whilst remaining separate and distinct, must possess mechanisms that reflect one another – and enable efficient interaction. As China did not possess an effective credit-rating system prior to 2012 – quite often the dishonesty of feudal times raised its head as people started hunting for profit for profit’s sake – and leaving their fellow citizens behind (an illegal act within the Socialist System). Now, China has a credit-rating system that emphasises honest interaction over dishonest exploitation. Despite the deluded Western imagination inventing all kinds of delirious speculations – encouraging honesty is the only reason for the Chinese credit-rating system.

St Nicholas Church (Sutton) - Exterior

Sutton: St Nicholas Church – Stain-Glass & Stones Exhibition! (14.9.2025)

The history of England lies primarily within the grounds, buildings, and written records of its local Churches, who dealt with this information a long time before the Secular State developed – or was able to do so. The Local Authorities of Sutton possess a peculiar attitude toward local history – as if time started again in 1965 (and all previous history was wiped-out when Sutton was part of “East Surrey”) – when Sutton became part of Greater (South-West) London. Of course, for a price, Sutton Library might help you via an online enquiry – but this data is free during a personal visit. Whatever the case, always be on the look-out for local open-days and local historians.

China: Authentic Footage – PLA Great Victory March! (5.9.2025)

The PLA also liberated Hainan in 1950 (during April-May) – a sizable island off the coast of South China. After mere months in power, the CPC (via the dedicated might of the PLA) also took on (and defeated) the capitalist West when it invaded North Korea between (1950-1953). Without the development of the PLA by Mao Zedong – there would have been no Socialist Revolution in China. Ordinary Chinese men and women – who have studied the work of Mao Zedong – constitute the “Iron Wall” that is the PLA! Even President Trump stood-up and saluted whilst watching the March on a large TV screen erected in the Oval Office of the White House!

Respect for God!

North Devon: St Peter’s Church – Bratton Fleming! (26.8.2025)

This must be the most spectacular integration of religion and secularism. I never thought I would live to see the Church of England finally give-up their last line of sanctity and allow all and sundry to stay as many nights as they can afford – and do whatever they like during their stay – providing the interior of the Church is not damaged. As an academic who uses the average Church as an early form of a search-engine – I find this a fascinating opportunity – albeit slightly disturbing and a little bizarre. Theravada Buddhist Temples, of course, allow practitioners to stay within their interiors – being fed and cared for free – providing there is space. Absolutely NO money is asked for or required (a Buddhist monastic must not touch money of any type). Not all Buddhist Temples follow this idea outside of Thailand, Sri Lanka, or Laos, etc, but they should do.

Highgate Cemetery - Carrying the Red Flag!

UK Workers Carrying the Red Flag! (21.8.2025)

If the Working Class is not yet free – then carrying the Red Flag represents hope and defiance of the status quo – whilst simultaneously serving notice of the intention of the Proletariat to seize the means of production. The Red Flag is not a statement of allegiance to a (fake) bourgeois notion of nationalist belonging. The Red Flag is not a confirmation of an ethnic or religious outlook. The Red Flag is not a statement of gender or sexual orientation. The Red Flag represents much more than all these passing things. Workers are first and foremost Proletariats – as we have nothing to sell but our labour. Only after this “Internationalist” and “Collective” identity is acknowledged do things like countries, religions, identities, gender, and sexual orientation, etc, come into play.

Lovely Ketton - Perhaps We We Were an Episode of the "Prisoner"!

UK: Dialectically Walking Through the Quaint Village of Ketton (Northants)! (5.8.2025)

Recently, I spent a week in the Northants countryside. Fresh air, good food, wide open spaces, a garden, things to do, and everybody saying “hello” – and “good morning” – and meaning it! Coming from a London suburb, the general rule of thumb is “silence” – when meeting people you do not know just in case they want to rob or rape you. There is also the ever-present threat of someone you don’t know asking for “money” or “food”, etc, all things that are not allowed within cities. My children are taught to remain well-behaved by the school when meeting others – to be “quiet” so as not to attract the unwanted attention of others. Walking through the picturesque village of Ketton last Saturday (1.8.2025) was interesting, as well-meaning groups of old ladies loudly greeted us like they knew us – all ready to help at a moment’s notice – we were even invited to a Church Service within ten minutes of arriving!
