President Putin: Russia to Safeguard International Fairness & Justice with China! (23.9.2023)

He said that faced with a complex international situation, the world is rapidly moving toward multipolarity, economic globalization is progressing against headwinds, unilateral actions are unsustainable, and hegemonism is not popular. As permanent members of the UN Security Council, China and Russia bear important responsibilities for promoting global development and progress. Both sides need to strengthen their multilateral strategic cooperation, protect their legitimate rights and interests, and make new efforts to promote the international order toward fairness and justice.

The two sides also exchanged views on the current international and regional situation. On the Ukraine issue, Putin reiterated Russia’s willingness to resolve it through dialogue and negotiation.

During his visit to Russia, Wang Yi also co-chaired the 18th round of China-Russia strategic security consultation, attended a meeting between high representatives of China, Russia and Mongolia on security issues, and met separately with Lavrov and Jadamba Enkhbayar, secretary of the Mongolian National Security Council.

Making Sense of Homo Naledi – Emails & Notes! (22.8.2023)

For some reason, the US freelance team dealing with this find are deliberately providing disinformation when rhetorically describing their finds (in an apparent attempt to boost financial gain through the encouragement of sentimentality). The mainstream academics featured in the above video – are correct in their criticism and approach. The ‘No Hypothesis’ must predominate if reliable ‘objective’ science is to be established, maintained and developed. The opposite is the ‘Yes Hypothesis’ found in religion and dogmatic philosophy and ideology. Merely believing that something ‘exists’ (or ‘operates’) in the physical world does not make it so. Simply ‘desiring’ or ‘wanting’ something to be a certain way in the interior of the mind – does NOT make it so in the (outer) material world (developed through cause and effect) in any way!

The Politics of ‘Privilege’ – Saving White, Middle-Class Women from Russell Brand! (20.9.2023)

Well, perhaps Russell Brand can help us to understand this grave injustice through the agencies of alienation, the accumulation of unbridled (and ‘non-talented’) wealth and the limitless indulgence of media-supported sexual decadence! Alternatively, his father – ‘Dan’ – can help by taking this opportunity to remind us that the UK is over-run by migrants (?) and that beautiful Mother Russia (my words – not his) is currently killing tens of thousands of Ukrainians (his word – not mine) ‘Neo-Nazis’ (finally – just my words)! With such campaign advice emanating from Tavistock Wood – Russell Brand’s former Talent Agency – what could possibly go wrong?

UK: British Museum Faces Renewed Calls to Return Cultural Relics! (7.9.2023)

“They are the subject of loot. They were illegally taken out of the country,” Tijani said. He demanded the British Museum give back the Benin Bronzes, which British forces took in 1897.

“It is irrespective whether they are safe there. That is not an issue. The issue is that these are stolen artefacts, and they should be returned to Nigeria to the communities that they belong to,” he added.

Bell Ribeiro-Addy, chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Afrikan Reparations, threw light on the “insulting ridiculousness” of the British Museum’s refusal to return artefacts to their country of origin on security grounds.

“One of the most insulting reasons that they’ve given is that the other countries that these items belong to would either not be able to take care of them or they are likely to be stolen,” she said. “But you’ve got people in this country putting them on eBay.”

China: British Museum – “No Idea” How Much Loot It Possesses – Or Where It Might Be! (28.8.2023)

The Admonitions of the Instructress to the Court Ladies collected in the British Museum is the closest copy of the prestigious Chinese painting by Gu Kaizhi. It is one of the most famous collections of the museum. It was plundered from the court of the Qing Dynasty during the Siege of Beijing by the Eight-Nation Alliance in 1900.

There are very few tri-colored Luohan statues of the Liao Dynasty in the world and those collected in the British Museum were stolen overseas from the Yixian County, Hebei Province.

The British Museum has refused to return the cultural relics over the years mainly on the grounds and basis of the British Museum Act, which was amended by the British Parliament in 1963 and basically prohibits the museum from returning any of its collections.

The British leading human rights lawyer Geoffrey Robertson QC said “The trustees of the British Museum have become the world’s largest receivers of stolen property, and the great majority of their loot is not even on public display.”
