Osprey Publishing is a British Publishing Company specializing in military history originally based in Oxford. Being English myself – and having been born in Oxford – I appreciate a clear-thinking and non-bias account of historical matters. The book above – Confederate Infantry [1861-1865] penned by the British experts Ian Drury & Gerry Embleton (1993) – is an extraordinary introduction to the subject of the Confederate Army in general – and the Confederate infantryman in-particular. An estimation of the Confederate causalities sustained during four-years of fighting (1861-1865) is as follows:

Confederate Casualties = 483,026

Killed in Action (KIA) = 94,000

Wounded in Action (WIA) = 194,026

Died of Diseases = 164,000

Died as Prisoners of War (POWs) = 31,000

Beyond the spiritual rituals, the festival grounds came alive with vibrant activity as local vendors showcased a wide array of goods, ranging from traditional foods and drinks to handmade crafts, clothing, and household items. The lively marketplace added a festive touch, transforming the event into not just a religious celebration, but also a vibrant community gathering.

Well-organized and secure, the event provided a safe and joyful environment for all attendees. It stood as a testament to Laos’ rich cultural heritage, while also promoting environmental consciousness and community unity.

As the glowing boats drifted peacefully down the Mekong and candlelight danced in the night breeze, the Fire Boat Festival once again proved to be a captivating blend of faith, folklore, and festivity—a timeless tradition that continues to illuminate the hearts of those who take part, year after year.

Archaeologists proved that the remains belong to a juvenile, with decorative textiles made from shells found near its head and waist – the earliest such findings ever reported in China – which offer rare insights into prehistoric cultural practices in Hainan and potential cultural exchanges with Southeast Asia.

Excavations at the Luobidong site are ongoing, trying to fully reveal the cultural significance of the site and provide a scientific foundation for both prehistoric research in Hainan and the development of the Luobidong National Archaeological Site Park.

UK: Far-Right Ideology as a “Grooming-Led” Mental Illness! (13.10.2025)

It does not help that British citizens are permitted to travel to Zionist Israel and join the military there to commit genocide in Gaza – or travel to Neo-Nazi Ukraine to fight for the Hitlerite military formations with absolutely no recriminations from the British State. On the other hand, for over a hundred years (since the 1917 Russian Socialist Revolution) the US and its Western European satellites have routinely and continuously demonised Socialism and ridiculed “love” and “compassion” – clearing all opposition to the far-right in the Western mind. This one-sided and conditioning toward the far-right intensified after 1945 and the Red Army’s remarkable victory over Nazi Germany. Being brought up in the era of the US exporting its own particular brand of anti-intellectualism, the youth of the West were erroneously taught that up was down, left was right, back was front – and all kinds of other contradictory falsehoods.

If unions still had power, there would be well-paid jobs for life. If the Local Council still possessed a legal requirement to maintain Council Houses and home every vulnerable person in need – there would be no homelessness. If the Benefits Systems still reflected the true wealth of this country, and fairly redistributed funds, there would be no poverty. If the government subsidised and controlled food pricing, there would be no starvation. If the government controlled the schools, British children would still receive a world class education and be fed properly during school-time. Furthermore, our graduates would not leave University with £30-40,000 worth of debt just as their adult lives are beginning. If the NHS was properly funded, staffed, and stocked, everyone could receive immediate world class treatment – free at the point of use.

Perhaps Turkey is doing this by supporting illegal immigration into the UK? If the boats can be caught en route – then it is an easy task to name and shame the Turkish companies behind the manufacturers of these boats. Yes – it plays into the far-right narrative – but that is because the far-right is, in this instance, is simply relaying the news, albeit for their own nefarious purposes. Why is the far-left silent on this issue – and effectively dead in the water? Is it because the far-left has burned all its bridges by remaining silent about the US-inspired Neo-Nazi regime that has been in power in Ukraine since 2014 – whilst subsequently declaring Russia’s response to it as “Imperialist”. With a track record like that – the far-right – like a broken clock – is going to be right twice a day just be default! Meanwhile, Starmer is so unpopular that Labour has completely lost the plot – with this episode being so stage-managed it is ridiculous! Imagine not knowing where a product is made in today’s 24-hour capitalist society – where every bean is accounted for!
