A Saturday Morning Trip to the Honey-Shop!

The Galmpton “Honour System” – Walking to the Honey-Shop on a Saturday Morning! (30.8.2025)

Having stayed in Galampton a number of times now – my parent’s house is full of various medical paraphernalia – we noticed a sign (one of many) outside a beautiful brick-work #(chocolate-box) cottage – advertising local honey. Although this sign is a permanent fixture, we were never quite sure if the honey is available all year round – and we did not want to bother the owners. I could just imagine a startled villager as their sedate and isolated cottage is over-ran by a loud South London family – and their two-dogs!

Trump Tariff Destroying World Commerce!

US: Amazon’s Plan to Display Tariff Costs – “Hostile & Political Act” – White House Declares! (30.4.2025)

Responding to a report of the planned Amazon move, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt on Tuesday called the move a “hostile and political act.” She made the remark during a press briefing with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.

“Why didn’t Amazon do this when the Biden administration hiked inflation to the highest level in 40 years?” Leavitt asked.

She urged Americans to “buy American.”

Earlier Tuesday, Punchbowl News reported that Amazon intends to display the tariff costs imposed under President Donald Trump’s administration as part of each product’s price.

China: Enhanced Co-Operation with Eire Announced! (18.2,2025)

During his visit, Wang also met with Ireland’s Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Simon Harris.

China Regulates CCTV

China: New Rules Regulating Installation and Usage of Image-Collection Devices! (12.2.2025)

The far-right in the West perpetuates the myth that non-White (non-European) people are psychologically and physically “inferior” (White Supremacy ideology) – and that this “inferiority” manifests on the physical plain as “accidents” and wanton “violence” caused through deliberate incompetence. This ideology is accompanied by the equally false idea that “accidents” and “violence” do not happen in White (or European) society (except Russia – whose population is the target of a similar racist ideology). The Chinese Authorities have been made aware of the weakness in the regulation of CCTV operating in China – and the dangers this holds for Chinese individuals Inside and outside of China (as well as the security of the Chinese nation) – and has carried-out reforms regulating the usage of CCTV cameras – as well as the images and footage such devices collect.

Huey Newton - Revolutionary Suicide

Email: Huey Newton – Notes on “Revolutionary Suicide”! (7.2.2025)

The sheer weight of White exploitation cannot be ignored in any of its guises (slave masters or cult leaders). Similarly, the habit of the White Establishment playing-down the weight of the power it possesses is yet another problem. When at school in 1970s UK, we were taught (even then) about the so-called “Golden Triangle”. We were told that British workmen constructed huge trading ships that sailed the world. Furthermore, British sailors manned these ships and brought great riches to our island nation. More than this, these same ships “visited” Africa and “acquired” slaves which were secured in the hold by chains made in Sheffield (the Sheffield factories employed tens of thousands).

PRC Tariffs Announced!

China: Plans to Add Counter-Tariffs on US Products Announced! (5.2.2025)

Luo Zhiheng, chief economist at Yuekai Securities, said China should resort to effective countermeasures against any tariff threats by the White House, while optimizing domestic policies and anchoring market expectations.

“Based on the experiences gained during the first Trump administration, China can utilize measures such as imposing additional tariffs and export controls to counter trade threats from the U.S.,” Luo said.

He added that China should continue to broaden the list of sanctioned goods and entities, and increase Beijing’s negotiation leverage with Washington.

Given heightened global uncertainties, China should scale up the intensity of its fiscal and monetary policies, actively expand domestic demand to counter any potential downturns in external demand, and steadily push forward high-level opening-up, expand networks with trade partners and diversify its trade portfolios, Luo said.
