UK: Canada Must be a “Country” – Its Troops Attacked Witley & Epsom in 1919! (27.2.2025)

What makes his death significant is that his murderer was never really brought to justice and that some in authority supported this for political reasons.

The “riotous mob” was in fact more than 400 soldiers on the rampage and the words “found death” on his gravestone were used rather than murdered.

Why was this? It was 10 years later that Sergeant Green’s murderer, when arrested in Canada on another offence, admitted his guilt.

By then Scotland Yard was not really interested and a prosecution was never considered. What caused this apparently callous action and why was justice not pursued as vigourously as we might have expected?

Throughout the Great War, many troops from the British Empire had fought with distinction. Canada produced about 600,000 men from 1914-18, taking 210,000 casualties, with over 56,000 dead.

They were awarded 63 Vicoria Crosses. The awesome Vimy Ridge memorial in northern France bears testimony to their bravery and loyalty during that dreadful period.

However, when war ended in November 1918, many troops, easpecially those from overseas, expected to be de-mobbed and repatriated as quickly as possible. Unfortuanely this did not happen.

In fact de-mobilisation plans had been in the Government’s thoughts since 1917.

War Secretary Lord Derby thought that in order to help the country’s economy, the most skilled workers should be released first into the key industries.

However these were the very workers who had been the last to be conscripted and the unfairness of this caused small scale mutinies within the British Army in Calais, Folkstone and London.

This inequitable system was changed by the new Minister of War – a certain Winston Churchill – in January 1919.

He decided men should be de-mobbed on the basis of age, length of service and number of wounds received. This in effect was a “first in- first out” policy.

This worked well for British troops, but Dominion troops were left hanging around for months. In March 1919 disgruntled Canadian troops rioted in Rhyl and this was repressed only after a number of men had been killed.

Cuba is Not Alone!

Havana: In the Face of the Imperialist Onslaught – Cuba Will Win! Statement of the Revolutionary Government! (21.1.2025)

This new act of aggression by the United States government against the Cuban people shows, once again, the true, cruel, merciless objective of these and so many other measures of siege and suffocation, which are applied against Cuba for the purpose of domination. It is a reaction of impotence in the face of the inability to bend our will and in the face of the respect, sympathy and support that the Revolution inspires among the peoples of the world.

The economic blockade, its reinforcement and the new aggressive measures will continue to weigh, with a very damaging effect, on our economy, the standard of living, the potential for development and the legitimate dreams of justice and well-being of the Cuban people, as has been the case in recent years.

"My father met Norman Bethune in Spain during his recovery from battle injuries. Influenced by him, my father aspired to come to China, where he met my mother and later had me," said Michael Crook, chairman of the International Committee for the Promotion of Chinese Industrial Cooperatives. His parents, David and Isabel Crook, played an important role in training a large number of foreign-language professionals for China. "The spirit of Bethune has not faded with time; instead, it has been widely inherited and carried forward in both China and Canada," said Hu Jinqiang, director of the North China Military Martyrs Cemetery. Hu noted that today Bethune is not just a name but a symbol of internationalism, humanism and selfless dedication. "We commemorate him to inspire more people to remember history and carry forward his spirit."

This year marks the 85th death anniversary of Bethune, who died of blood poisoning at the age of 49 on Nov. 12, 1939 in China while aiding the Chinese people in their fight against Japanese aggression. His remains were relocated to the cemetery in 1953.

The commemoration began at 10 a.m., with participants bowing before the surgeon’s tomb and presenting flower baskets.

Hong Kong - US & Canada to Stop Medding!

China: US & Canadian Politicians – Stop Meddling in Hong Kong’s Judiciary! (21.11.2024)

“This act of double standards is a serious blasphemy against the spirit of the rule of law and a gross violation of the principles of international law such as non-interference in internal affairs,” the spokesperson said.

Since the implementation of the national security law in Hong Kong, Hong Kong’s political ecology has been purified, social order restored, the spirit of the rule of law demonstrated, the business environment improved. The HKSAR government has operated efficiently, a growing number of global investors have come to Hong Kong, and Hong Kong’s status as an international financial centre has been strengthened, the spokesperson said.

UK Joins Germany in Opposing UN Vote Banning Neo-Nazism!

UN: “Lest We Forget!” – UK, US, France, Germany & Fascist Ukraine Oppose “Ban” on Neo-Nazism! (13.11.2024)

Of course, 116 countries voted in favour of the document, 54 countries voted against it, including the USA, Canada, Ukraine, the UK, Germany and France (all those countries currently arming and politically supporting Zionist Israel’s genocide in Gaza). Despite a new “Labour” government in the UK – it is very much business as usual for the capitalist warmongers. The US has been supporting Neo-Nazism since the Obama-days – so nothing new there also! Neo-Nazi Israeli, whilst propagating the “Zionist” variant of fascism in the minds and bodies of its citizens – opposed all non-Zionist versions of fascism by “supporting” the UN Resolution!

US Criminality Worldwide!

US Criminality: Global Cyberattacks & Espionage Uncovered! (15.10.2024)

The method is usually used in attack operations against other countries’ telecommunication and network operators. When the NSA gains control of the targeted telecom network operator’s system, it is able to monitor the target’s cellphone communication content. In the attack against Northwestern Polytechnical University in Xi’an, Shaanxi province, the internet service provider located in China was compromised by the NSA with the “supply chain” attack method. As a result, the telephone calls and internet activities of the victims were tracked by the NSA in real time.

Such an extensive surveillance program requires a substantial annual budget, and with the explosive growth of internet data, the demand for funding is bound to rise, the report said, adding that this is one of the main reasons that the U.S. government, in collaboration with its intelligence agencies, devised and promoted the “Volt Typhoon” operation.
