CSA: How Jefferson Davis Offered “Freedom” to the Native Americans! (2.12.2025)

Indeed, the voluntary and determined presence of Indians in the Confederate Infantry defied all Northern attempts to paint the South as culturally backward. The North had never succeeded in convincing the Indians to be happy about their own genocide – but here was the Confederate South treating the Indians as fellow “human-beings” – and making way for their warriors to serve alongside White Men in the frontlines. On the official front, the Confederacy formed a specific Indian Regiment led by General Albert Pike. During the Civil War, he commanded the Confederacy’s Indian Territory, and raised troops in this area – and exercised Field Command in at least one battle (although Watson mentions his name – and Indian troops – a number of times). After the South lost the Civil War – the North simply carried-on its pre-war policy of genocide – depicting the Indians as “savages” and wiping their pro-Confederate struggle from the history books.

China: BBC “Editing Scandal” Deepens Credibility Crisis! (15.11.2025)

The controversy erupted after The Daily Telegraph revealed an internal BBC memo showing that an October 2024 Panorama episode, Trump: A Second Chance?, had stitched together two segments of Trump’s speech on Jan. 6, 2021, delivered more than 50 minutes apart. The edit created the misleading impression that Trump was directly urging supporters toward the Capitol riot, sparking public outrage and prompting The New York Times to label it as the BBC’s “worst crisis in decades.”

UK: DNA-Tests Prove British Descendants in Kenya! (3.10.2025)

Somehow the post-1945 UK governments have ditched and demonised Socialism – and managed to breed a whole new generation of young people drawn toward fascism. Yes – the spread of the British Army involved mass-murder on the one-hand – and mass-rape on the other, with the occasional consenting relationship thrown into the mix. In Hong Kong, for instance, the British Authorities outlawed “race-mixing” on the grounds that (according to them) neither community (the “White” British or the “Chinese”) would accept the off-spring of such interactions. Furthermore, the guidebook continued, the children of such couplings will forever be “confused” as to which race they belong. So there you have it. Confusion and alienation. In fact, young British soldiers routinely fell in love with local Chinese women – and many mixed-race babies were the result. The soldiers would then leave – and never see their lovers or children again. These children were brought-up as Chinese by the Chinese – and that was that. I suspect this model of British command and control was repeated all over the empire – as we can see here in Kenya – although this ruling is only the tip of the iceberg. As to whether there is any relations in this case to how slaves were treated – I cannot say. If ALL the descendants of British colonisers were brought to the UK – the current migrant crisis would pail in significance!

A Tribute to Walter Rodney!

A Tribute To Walter Rodney – Why Are We Assassinating Our Greatest Thinkers? (13.9.2025)

Once that “something” is resolved – the label of “Whiteness” will disappear. As a label, we all inherit certain responsibilities regarding its symbolism. Blatant or shallow “reaction” is very common – but it is not helpful. Adolf Hitler is the arch-reactionary and his disorganised intellection is no answer to the historical crimes of the capitalist ideology. In this sense, we are ALL victims in the broad sense. In the narrow sense, victims and oppressors are identified. Where should the lens of visibility focus? Even within Whiteness there are internal victims and oppressors (every girl and woman reading this will understand what is written). The middle class oppresses the working class, the rich crush the poor, and so on. Then, the White monolith imposes its collective will beyond its own geographical boundaries – upon those who are not “White”.

Duddington Plaque Contains Our "Wyles" Ancestors!

Northants: Duddington [Area] War Memorials – Digitalised! (1.8.2025)

We have been travelling around Duddington and the surrounding area – research genealogical information for the local surname “Wyles”. Whilst carrying-out this vital historical investigation – we decided to gather data pertaining to the often forgotten War Memorials and Rolls of Honour. We include four such projects that we have completed this week (we are thinking of extending this to any area we find old Churches containing War Memorials).

Gee Wyles - Covid Star Medal for Bravery 2020-2021

NHS: Gee’s “Covid Star” Medal for Bravery! (18.7.2025)

Of course, when medals are issued en masse like this, as also seen at the end of WWII) it often takes some time before the medals are a) made, and b) presented to the recipients. Gee’s work record and demeanour under pressure were assessed and found “suitable” for the awarding of the “Covid Star” during 2022. Since that date, we have been patiently waiting to receive the physical object – and hold it in our hands. Gee volunteered to work with NO protective-clothing or equipment on the NHS frontline saving human-lives in the UK – so I would say she has earned the right to be called “British”! Gee showed more English-grit than the “White” keyboard warriors sat behind their computer screens concocting all kinds of stupid and anti-intellectual nonsense! These very bad and poor examples of “Englishness” will never know the “grace under pressure” that people like Gee exhibited during a National Emergency. Indeed, Gee saved their ungrateful lives.
