How the Imperial War Museum Relegated the “Black Experience” of WWII to a Back Corridor! (26.10.2023)

When we entered a back corridor – slightly disheartened by the shallowness of the IWM coverage of WWII from an ordinary British and Chinese perspective – we were astonished to find that a ‘Black’ British art exhibition – regarding WWII – had been consigned to an ‘out of the way’ place! The corridor is both bare and bleak – the sort of place one (momentarily) traverses through to get to another place – or perhaps rest for a moment to get one’s bearings. In no civilised way should this location be interpreted as ‘suitable’ for an art exhibition – as it reeks with Eurocentric disdain! Such is the contemporary IWM and the disjointed face it shows to a general public it intends to fleece in its gift shops!

Alexander Werth [Part I]: Russian Arctic Convoy PQ-16 – Middlesborough (UK) to Murmansk (USSR) – Merchant Navy Ship “Empire Baffin”! (2.9.2023)

The Russian Arctic Convoy, PQ-16, sailed from Iceland to the Soviet Union in late May 1942, providing vital military and civilian aid amid attacks by Nazi Germany. The fleet comprised British, American, and Allied ships, including the Empire Baffin that Alexander Werth traveled on for four weeks as recorded in his book ‘The Year of Stalingrad’. This account, along with further research, allows for a timeline to be reconstructed for these events, however, full details are limited due to the secrecy required during wartime. Convoy PQ-16 consisted of 36 Merchant Navy vessels, some armed for self-defense, and a number of Royal Navy ships acting as protection. Werth’s account also mentions controversial language used to describe the African-descendent members of the Merchant Navy crew.

DPRK: Korean Central News Agency Final Investigative Report – Black US Soldier “Travis King (트래비스 킹에)” – “Illegally” Entered Sovereign Territory! (28.9.2023)

According to an investigation by the relevant agency of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, Travis King confessed that he “illegally” trespassed into the territory of the “DPRK”. When asked “why?” he carried-out this action – Travis King stated that US society is “unequal” and premised upon “discrimination”. After experiencing continuous inhumane abuse and racial prejudice within the US Army and disillusionment with American society in general – Travis King claims he decided to take the action he did.

The relevant agency of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, after considering all the details, has decided to “Deport” Travis King – as he is a “Serving” American soldier who illegally entered the territory of the DPRK (for “Reasons Unknown”), in accordance with the laws of the DPRK.

Ghana: President Urges UN to Consider Reparations for Slave Trade! (22.9.2023)

“Reparations must be paid for the slave trade,” Akufo-Addo said to an eruption of applause.

“No amount of money will ever make up for the horrors, but it would make the point that evil was perpetrated, that millions of productive Africans were snatched from the embrace of our continent, and put to work in the Americas and the Caribbean without compensation for their labor,” he said.

He also called for the illicit flow of funds from Africa to be returned to the continent.

While the current picture on achieving the Sustainable Development Goals “is not very bright,” Akufo-Addo expressed the hope that “it is within our capacity to turn things around.”

A good start would be to make the needed changes to the structures of the United Nations, “then we can rebuild trust and reignite global solidarity,” he said.

US: 2022 All-Time “High” Suicide Rate – “Not Biden’s Fault”! (28.8.2023)

Karen Cassiday, a clinical psychologist and managing director of the Anxiety Treatment Centre of Greater Chicago and past president of the Anxiety and Depression Association of America, said the pandemic was detrimental to the overall mental health of people in the US. She advised anyone who needs it to seek help.

Historically, “the norm for any population is to show some impairment in mental health when a mass event occurs, such as famine or war”, she said. “After six months most people adapt, and the general population returns to its normal pre-event level of mental health.”

However, in the case of the pandemic, this did not occur. “The pandemic had several unique characteristics that lent themselves to triggering anxiety, depression. Anxiety disorders do not go away on their own. They can be readily treated.”

Sutton: Commemorative Mural Remembering Two Sets of Twins “Kyson & Bryson” and “Leyton & Logan” – Collingwood Recreation Ground! (14.8.2023)

Meanwhile, I was told that the four bodies were laying on the road with signs of life still present whilst local hospitals ‘refused’ to take responsibility – citing Tory government Covid-19 guidelines. Apparently, the Tories issued a ‘D’ Notice which automatically prevented any further reporting on this matter – a turn of events which explains why no further details about this incident has occurred in the media. Furthermore, I was told that ALL photographs and video footage of the bodies lying on the road have been ‘seized’ and ‘destroyed’. I suspect this has been an operation designed to down play the racism of the reporting and the insanity of the Covid-19 guidelines which prevented four seriously ill children from receiving treatment.
