A Postcard from Duddington!

Sutton: Duddington 2nd Class Postcard Arrives in London After Just Two Days! (4.8.2025)

We acquired a few postcards from St Peter’s Church situated in the Deene (North Northants) countryside – on the Kliby Lane – not far from Kilby Hall. This Church dates back to 1060 CE and is no longer in regular use but is administered by The Churches Conservation Trust – which does very good work maintaining old Churches of immense historical value. This protects these old buildings from being sold-off, destroyed and built-over, etc. Another way of conserving old Churches involves what’s termed “Champing” – or old Churches converted for families and groups to stay in these old buildings overnight!

Archaeological Teams in Henan!

China: Longest Ancient City Road Discovered at 3,300-Year-Old “Yin” Capital Site! (27.12.2024)

The main roads discovered in this area are spaced 320 to 550 meters apart, while some intermediate-level roads are located about 100 meters apart. These roads are interconnected, showing clear evidence of intentional human planning, according to Niu.

Based on previous findings of archaeological excavations, it has been confirmed that the roads in the Shang capital city can be generally classified into three levels according to their width, or referred to as main roads, streets and alleys, Niu said.

Situated in Henan’s Anyang City, the 3,300-year-old Yin Ruins is the first documented late Shang Dynasty capital site in China, as confirmed by archaeological excavations and oracle bone inscriptions.

Jewish Criminality in Gaza!

Gaza: Israeli Genocide “Business As Usual”! (17.4.2024)

Earlier, at least eight Palestinian citizens were killed and others injured in an Israeli airstrike targeting vehicles in the Tuffah neighbourhood in central Gaza City.

Additionally, three Palestinians were killed and dozens injured in Israeli airstrikes north of the Nusseirat refugee camp. Occupation forces also demolished a number of residential homes north of the camp with explosives.

In northern Gaza, Israeli occupation forces continued for the second consecutive day to force all families present in the town of Beit Hanoun to evacuate, and several youths were arrested.

In a preliminary toll, the ongoing Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip has resulted in 33,843 documented Palestinian fatalities, in addition to 76,575 injuries since October 7, 2023.

China: Socialist Science to 3D Print Structures on Moon! (24.4.2023)

After Chang’e 6, the Chang’e 7 robotic probe will be sent to land on the moon’s South Pole to perform “high-precision investigations”, Wu said.

“The Chang’e 7 mission is meant to look for traces of water on the South Pole, investigate the environment and weather there, and survey the landform. The probe will carry a ‘flyby craft’ tasked with flying into pits on the lunar surface to look for ice,” the scientist said.

“Chang’e 7 will also be tasked with detecting the natural resources beneath the lunar South Pole’s surface. Mission planners are trying to assess if we can use the probe to dig into the surface and study underground structures and their composition,” he said.

In the long run, scientists will use components of the three upcoming missions — the orbiters, landers, rovers and sensors — to form the prototype of a robotic scientific outpost, which will act as a platform for international collaboration on lunar exploration, he added.

Cracker (2006): How the US Supports Terrorism! (11.2.2023)

The original series of ‘Cracker’ came to an end with a one-off ‘Special’ set in Hong Kong during the 1996 events leading to the UK handing-back the former colony to Mainland China in 1997. Ten years later, the main actor – Robbie Coltrane – was given the chance of yet another one-off episode – now involving early smart-phones and the internet! This 2006 episode is entitled ‘Nine Eleven’ and examines the US-sponsorship of international terrorism – but declared war on the very same terrorism it has supported for decades following the 911 terrorist attacks upon the World Trade Buildings in New York! Despite the US using the right-wing as a means to attack and destroy all Socialist regimes and movements – the US government provided money, arms and ammunition to the Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA) – a traditionally ‘left-wing’ movement which followed Marxist-Leninism during the 1916 Easter Uprising! Yes – the US provided the means for Irish terrorists to kill British soldiers patrolling the streets of Northern Ireland! So much for the so-called ‘Special Relationship’!
