The United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) - IDF Crime!

UNIFIL: Peacekeeping Force Lodges Protest – Israeli Troops Destroy HQ Surveillance Cameras!

UNIFIL spokesperson Candice Ardell said in a statement that Israeli troops had, since Friday, destroyed all cameras facing the Menghi road at the mission’s general headquarters in Naqoura.

The cameras were positioned solely to monitor the UNIFIL compound’s immediate area, ensuring the security of its peacekeepers, Ardell said.

Ardell said UNIFIL had conveyed its serious concern to the Israeli army and would submit a formal protest.

The incident comes amid broader regional hostilities involving the United States, Israel and Iran, as well as repeated recent incidents affecting UNIFIL positions in southern Lebanon.

Brixham Scaffolding - the Structure Remains Strong!

Brixham: Final Scaffolding Report! (4.4.2026)

It is logical to assume that “71 Mount Pleasant Road” (second floor which we are renting) and “71a Mount Pleasant Road” (First Floor) was probably all the same building being referred to in the “Conveyance” document of 1920 – affixed to wall of the back bedroom. This was a substantial building of four (or five) floors (in the UK the 1st floor equates to the Ground Floor in the US – yes – we exported our culture but apparently not our counting) – excluding any basement. We think that once the (limestone) quarry was finished and used-up – the land was sold for housing. However, the quarry proper (which spread over some miles) was not officially closed until 1969 – although obviously not in this exact location – which must have finished earlier (the quarry is said to have existed for 300-years).

Brixham: Framed 1920 Conveyance Deed – Kai-Lin Helped Me Read It! (3.4.2026)

Today, such people are “preserved” as a “right” – as their presence helps us understand our own human history (the Celts – my ethnicity – used to strip naked, get drunk, and cover themselves in shit before a battle). But I digress. In the bedroom our two daughters are occupying – the above legal document has been “framed” and hung on the wall for all to see and admire. Indeed, until, this morning, none of us had actually noticed it. In 2026, this second-floor building (“71a” is beneath us) is termed “Rock Hopper” – and this is the name used in all the advertising literature. The back yard is a narrow strip of land – but I suspect that “71” and “71a” were originally one and the same dwelling. The steep rock-face at the end of the garden turns-out to be the edges of an old quarry – whatever that was used for – probably prior to these houses being built on a steep and narrow hill (incline).

UK: Weird News from England – Graveyard-Shift Nearly Kills Council Worker! (3.4.2026)

If this is not an April Fool’s news-article – it probably should be. It has been reported on the BBC – but I am not too sure – as it is so relentlessly ridiculous. On the other hand, things like this occur throughout the UK due to cost-cutting, lack of training, privatisation, and a general lack of care and attention. When I was young, and being trained to work on factory equipment, the older man who was training us as teens – told us a story about an inattentive worker who shut his testicles in a drawer. We believed at the time, as most of us were around 16-years old and had only just left home. We were all stood in grey overalls trying to work it all out. Driving a sit-down lawn-mower near a steep drop – or manoeuvring it across a not too strong (and obviously under-pressure) brick-wall holding in tonnes of bone-infested soil, seems to me to be a very stupid thing to do. If the story is true – then it is only by luck that no one was walking down the street at the time. Of course, we used to be sacked for life-endangering stupidity – but in today’s world – the worker is compensated and rewarded. In the old days, the deficient worker would be re-trained and moved away to work somewhere else – where nobody knew him. This is how the workers placated the management and bourgeoisie. I wouldn’t be surprised if this worker was not given his own rural church – and a sit-down mower to drive round all-day to his heart’s content – with a fire-engine and ambulance standing by – just in case!

Shroud of Turin: Latest “Science” Continues to Prove Cloth Not “Supernatural”! (2.4.2026)

Even the Catholic Church declared the Shroud of Turin “Fake” in the Middle Ages – but the modern Vatican likes to play the guessing-game in a dishonest attempt to convince rationally thinking people that the sky-spirit it a) generates and b) venerates – is objectively “real”. What else would you expect from an institution that openly and surreptitiously supports fascism and Nazism, etc? Indeed, the Catholic Church has spent far more of its resources on safely relocating Nazi German War Criminals “out of Europe” – than it has proving the Shroud to be literally real – this fact alone demonstrates the priorities of the Vatican. What does the latest “scientific” research tell us about Jesus? Fasten your seat-belts – it’s going to be an exhilarating ride. To date, the Church can confidently confirm the following about Jesus – the “Christ”.

Cuba: The Socialist Ambulance Service – The Sound of Life! (1.4.2026)

When you dial 104 on the phone, on the other end of the line not only operators answer. They answer stories. And, in Ciego de Ávila, these stories have not been written for more than a decade: that of a deceased on board an ambulance.

Reimundo Pineda Estrada, a graduate in Nursing – and in Economics – in charge of Human Resources at the Regional Ambulance Base of Ciego de Ávila, says it with the confidence of someone who knows every statistic, every route, every man and woman who makes up the Integrated Medical Emergency Service (SIUM) in the province, of which he is the founder.

“So far we have not had any loss of human life during the transfer to the healthcare centers,” he says. And the phrase, said like this, without fuss, weighs like an ingot. Because behind that statement there are ten years of statistics, two decades without a final sigh inside a mobile unit, with thousands of patients transferred within the province and outside it.

Ten years in more than 6,000 square kilometres of Ávila’s geography – and beyond the limits of the province – figures that no medical report can fully reflect.
