Internationalism is the Essence of Wwomens' Right!

Dzud (Frozen): Mongolia & China Celebrate International Women’s Day! (8.3.2024)

“Women hold up half the sky in poverty alleviation. In fact, women hold up half the sky in every one of our families and in every sphere of society, especially in Mongolia,” Chinese Ambassador to Mongolia Shen Minjuan said at the reception.

Shen expressed her hope that in the Year of the Dragon, which symbolizes auspiciousness, all women will enjoy good health and happiness, and bilateral relations will see greater development.

BMA (UK): Why the Workers Should “Shake the Spear!” (7.3.2024)

I suspect there must be a constructive “rejection”. What comes next is not written in stone. What comes next is unwritten. It could be that an intelligent worker – that is an oppressed entity who can read and write – can infiltrate the culture of the oppressor and work to bring it down from within. This is an important observation as the “lessening” of oppression in one part of society – may well relieve the burden of suffering inflicted upon oppressed individuals somewhere else within society. As the choice of dialectical development is essentially infinite, in theory there is no limit to the objectives that can be achieved. Things are not simple – but neither should there be a “fear” that limits expression.

Indian Victims of Japanese FGascism!

The Historical Materialism of ‘Empire of the Sun’! (23.2.2024)

When the captured Westerners – who had lived the most opulent of lives within a starving China – were placed in austere Prisoner of War Camps, their pretences to physical and spiritual superiority came crashing down after a week on half-rations. Belief in a Christian God meant absolutely nothing – as in such filth and deprivation – illness, injury and lack of nutrition reduced everyone to exactly the same level of desperation, hopelessness, and depression. Many Europeans, whilst undergoing just a little deprivation of the luxury and deference they were used to – fell into a stupor and a type of memory loss from which they never recovered. The victory and dominance of the Imperial Japanese in China (and throughout Asia) was in reality a defeat of European racism. The Imperial Japanese proved to the Europeans they had replaced, that through the fascism of Nippon, a non-White people could be just as dominant and racist. What the White people had inflicted on the population of Asia – the Japanese inflicted upon the defeated Europeans.

The Mighty Okinawan Lion!

Ryukyu: Studying the ‘Okinawa’ Name! (22.2.2024)

I was asked about the history and meaning of the name ‘Okinawa’ and ‘Ryukyu’ – both Japanese in origin – but premised upon older Chinese ideograms. At the above link, there is my research regarding the forensic study of the ideograms involved and my conclusions premised upon these findings. The term ‘Okinawa’ appears to be a post-1872 CE construct – at least in regard to the forming of the Japanese Prefecture of that name. Generally, Chinese literature does not use this term – but prefers the far older ‘Lu Qiu’ designation which dates back around 1500-years.

Greenway House - Torquay

The British Imperialist Crimes of Agatha Christie! (29.12.2023)

As matters stand, the National Trust charges around £35 for a family of four to look around the interior of the house – but does not want the general public to know that anyone can walk around the gardens and exterior of the house free of charge. This explains why each visitor is requested to ‘Book’ a parking-space prior to being permitted to look around the house – and some of the Staff in the house act in a bizarre and suspicious manner when ‘guests’ (which might not be ‘paying’ to enter the house) gravitate toward the front-door of the mansion! Let’s face it, if all these stolen artefacts were given back to their rightful owners – the National Trust would be showing paying visitors around rooms containing only British-made table and chairs!
