DPRK: Comrade Kim Jong Un Receives Greetings from Palestinian President on 81st Liberation Anniversary! (17.8.2026)

You can see the issue. Most in the West do not understand the minutiae of what is happening in Palestine – and mistakenly believe their is a united front. As an aside, the only organisation that attempts a broad united front is the “Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine” (PFLP) headquartered in Lebanon. Meanwhile, PA, whilst collaborating with Israel locally (a point that angers Hamas-supporters), backs the “Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions” (BDS) campaign that seeks to economically isolate Israel by encouraging ordinary people in the West not to give their money to Israeli-supporting businesses. PA, therefore, the organisation that has praised North Korea below, advocate collaboration with Israel locally – whilst encouraging those living outside the Middle East to wage an economic war against Israel. Yes – PA complains continuously about the ill-treatment of Palestinian prisoners and the violent behaviour of Israeli-settlers – but does very little about it in practical terms.

US: When Imagination & Fact Collide – Who Controls the Narrative? (16.8.2026)

Although there are great Black thinkers – those promoted simply for the colour of their skin – are not qualified to hold such a high office. Apparently, there have been at least four Black female Professors at Harvard in recent years exposed for being fantasists – who were indulged and empowered by the White community. The above video covers the case of “Kerri Greenidge” whose book – The Grimkes – was pulled from the shelves due to its content being deemed academically “untrue” (Greenidge was subsequently sacked from her role as Professor). Prior to this, without the establishment apparently checking its content – unprecedented praise was heaped upon this tome from all directions. After being exposed – the author responded by declaring all criticism of her work to be “racist”. Here is a rare example of a tenured Professor being “sacked”. I know standards have slipped over the years in our former colony of the US – but really?

Police are appealing for information about the armed robbery at Tesco Express in Bowmont Square, Bicester.

UK: Local Oxford Supermarket Reports “Zen-Like” Crime – As Man “With No Shoes” Commits Armed-Robbery! (16.8.2026)

16/08/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

The suspect is described as a white man with pale skin, a scruffy black beard and a local accent. He is around 5ft 9in tall and was wearing a black puffer jacket with the hood up, grey jogging bottoms and white socks, but no shoes.

Officers are also trying to trace four people who were inside the store at the time of the robbery.

They are described as a white man with short brown hair wearing a red and blue sports jacket, a woman believed to be in her 50s who was around 6ft tall and wearing a grey sweater, and two younger girls who checked on the victim after the incident.

A spokesperson for Thames Valley Police said: “If you think that these people could be you or if you were in the area at this time and remember seeing a man walking with white socks and no shoes, please get in contact.”

St Paul's Commemorative Coin - 15.6.2026

UK: Climbing the Dome – Surviving the 528-Steps of St Paul’s Cathedral! (16.8.2026)

16/08/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

In fact – although one of the centres of the Church of England (CofE) – there seems to be an element of “Sadomasochism” to it all. As if those Church Authorities watching enjoy the spectacle of the fee-paying faithful (yes – you have to “pay” to voluntarily submit yourself to this madness) – or non-faithful (as the case may be) – inflicting pain upon themselves (a form of self-flagellation). It is the design of this building possesses a nasty side in its design. Who knows – when the Cathedral is closed the Church Fathers might draw pleasure by climbing the steps themselves. Of course, like all things “CofE” – the entire place, although of historical and archaeological importance, is subject to capitalist free market forces. The over-priced gift shop reduces Christianity to fluffy toys and cut book-marks – all over-priced – of course. I suspect that if you actually asked a question about religion – nobody working in there could answer it. Still, history is history, and other than the excessive steps – the history entwined in the stone-work of the building was good for the children to enjoy. At the entry point – the clerk shouted that there was no photography – but then said we could photograph anything we wanted to. So, we never quite worked-out what the rule was – and recorded everything we could see. Finally, when we got to what we thought was the top – it turned out there was actually over another hundred steps to go! In the video I say we had climbed the 528 steps – but I think there was around another 140 to go!

UK: Winchester Residents Attempt to “Ban” GAIL’s [Pro-Israeli] Bakery! (16.8.2026)

Sponsored by Palestine Solidarity Winchester, the petition also attacks GAIL’s majority owner, Bain Capital, which it describes as a “vocal supporter of Israel” with investments in Israeli technology and cyber-security firms.

Two public objections have been lodged with the city council over GAIL’s planning proposals.

A spokesperson from Winchester City Council said: “The use of the building as a bakery doesn’t require planning permission, as the previous use and planned use are both classed as retail shops.

“The Council has received applications for the installation of signage and for alterations to a listed building which relate to the use of the building, and these are under consideration.”

UK: Burnham’s Labour Continues “Stealth Shutting-Down” of Socialist NHS – as Prostrate Cancer Treatment Cut! (15.8.2026)

15/08/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

The shutting-down of a “free at use” NHS requires the New Labour government to keep encouraging the importation of migrant labour – whilst simultaneously bleating-on in Parliament that it is trying to “do something about it”. Do you know, I was part of the “LEXIT” (hard-left) “left Out of the EU” campaign for precisely this reason. Many unions backed LEXIT as did many non-White British workers – as this is NOT about race – but ALL workers’ rights! In many meetings I saw, non-White (British) workers gave speeches about how unfamiliar foreign communities had sprung-up, took-over areas, and aggressively competed for housing and work. Why? Just so our Socialist system can be dismantled and sold to the US? I met some of these new arrivals and by and large they were good people – the victims of post-1991 (Soviet-collapse) capitalism (the US again). Most told me that life was good under the Soviet system – but now it was terrible under capitalism. The US has injected far-right ideology into Eastern Europe to prevent what it fears will be a resurgence of Soviet Socialism. We should be “comrades” and not “competitors”! Without properly funded and empowered unions all over Europe (the EU must go) – the workers are reduced to scrambling individuals fighting desperately for scraps from the master’s table.
