China: Boost to Psychological Protection of Children in Difficulty! (24.9.2026)

Beyond strengthening existing programmes, new services, including care programmes for children with autism and assessments of family guardianship arrangements, will be established with stepped-up efforts, Hu said.

He also highlighted the primary-level role in child protection. China currently has about 42,000 “child supervisors” at the township and subdistrict levels and 550,000 “child directors” and workers at the village and community levels.

Hu described them as “strong guardians” of children in difficult circumstances and said their training would be expanded to include mental health screening, safety risk assessments, mandatory reporting and home visits as required components, strengthening their ability to identify and respond to risks facing children.

Six Die Worhipping Tree Branches at Tribal Karam Festival!

India: Tree-Worship Remains Statistically the Most Dangerous Religion in Bharat!

Five of the deaths were reported in Bokaya village and the other in Nani Jharia hamlet. Jharkhand celebrated Karam, one of the biggest tribal festivals after Sarhul, on Tuesday.

The festival concludes with the immersion of a branch of Karam tree that was worshipped during the festival. Palamu Superintendent of Police Kapil Choudhary said an eight-year-old boy had drifted deep into the Koel river during the immersion ceremony in Bokaya village.

Four people jumped in to rescue him, and all of them drowned, he said. The bodies have been fished out of the river and sent for post-mortem, he added.

The deceased have been identified as Amit Kumar Thakur (22), Nitish Kumar Singh (18), Vishal Paswan (16), Raja Singh (12) and Hemant Kumar Singh (8).

In Nani Jharia village, 16-year-old Simpi Kumari drowned after she slipped and fell into a pond during an immersion ceremony there.

Taliban Schools Out-Law Unauthorised Smiling

UK: “Taliban-Style” School Discipline Comes to Somerset! (18.9.2026)

It is a primitive culture that equates “literacy” with “rebellion”. In Somerset, “lack of freedom” is illogically equated with “literacy”. Creative expression is equated with a “deviation” from the norm – but whose “norm” are we talking about? A disadvantaged working-class child will continue to be a disadvantaged working-class child – even if their personal freedom is compromised. The “weight” of society is already balanced against them. No. Like the brutality of the Taliban – the Somerset Solution is designed all crush freedom of expression. Of course, the justification for all this suffering is that it allegedly “does the children good” – but surely – this is a form of child abuse. Not all children will be high-achievers or geniuses. Nature (and evolution) is just not like that. The lumpen proletariat (of which I am a part) are “average” in achievement – but this is precisely how humanity has developed. It is the “group effort” that matters – and not usually the antics of an individual whose “behaviour” (UK spelling) does not equate to the well-being of the collecive.

Young people with physical and visual impairments will have greater opportunities to participate in sport through the expansion of the ISPORT programme into ISPORT+.

Malta: ISPORT+ EXPANDS OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOUNG PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES! (12.8.2026)

The initiative, launched four years ago through a collaboration between The Malta Trust Foundation and the Malta Paralympic Committee, initially focused on children with visual impairments. Under a renewed partnership, ISPORT+ will now broaden its sporting and coaching opportunities to include young people with physical disabilities.

Marie-Louise Coleiro Preca, founder and chair of The Malta Trust Foundation, said the aim was to reach as many children and young people as possible and help them discover their potential through sport. She highlighted the confidence, happiness and sense of achievement gained by participants over the past four years.

UN: War Crime Report – Zionists Deliberately “Targeting” Palestinian Children at School! (5.8.2026)

Although PA is said to support Socialism – it has lost ground amongst ordinary Palestinian people due to its perceived and actual cooperation with Israeli Forces. As it conforms to Israeli dominance – PA is seen as being privileged by the West. This has led to widespread campaigns of non-tax paying across Palestine – and other civil disobedience campaigns. The US and Israel simply diverts funds to PA to prevent it from collapsing. It is a shame as PA, instead of following a neutral position – has actually adopted an antagonistic stance toward Hamas – and to be quite frank – comes across as completely compromised at times. Historically, of course, Socialist movements have resorted to armed conflict – so the position of PA is peculiar to say the least. Even if PA disagrees with Islamic-inspired militancy – it does not have to disagree with armed self-defence in principle. As matters stand, the US-backed Israeli Forces routinely break International Law – committing war crimes and crimes against humanity. As the UN has ruled – Israel is committing “genocide” in Gaza and it is doing this in-part by deliberately targeting Palestinian school-children.

Science Fiction that "Thinks"!

UK: The Genius of Terry Nation’s “Survivors” Series! (4.8.2026)

If you watch, read, or listen, to Terry Nation’s “Survivors” (1975) – you will see civilisation suddenly collapse due to a type of flu that is spread around the world via jet-liners (international travelling being a relatively new phenomena for the masses at the time). The USSR existed then and the US was engaged in a “Cold War” with it at the time (it turns out that illnesses are no respecter of political ideology). The US laughably believed that the Soviets possessed a “weather-altering machine” and would use it to usher-in a new ice-age. To this end, the US government ordered the British government (something of a US lap-dog at the time) to put-out the false propaganda that an “ice-age” was coming! The BBC made disinforming series about this whilst academics happily conformed despite all the data denying this assertion. This was the fake climate change argument of the day – and individuals lost their career when denying it.
