It Could Just Be True!

UK: The Red Menace Makes It Through Another Year! (30.5.2026)

My birthday is just two-days after that of my late father. The allegation in the above text could well be true. Fight everything, question everything, and accept nothing. It is a good start. I remember as a kid working it out for myself that the supposedly left-wing comic – Alexi Sayle – was in fact a traitor to the cause when he decided to endorse capitalist advertisement! Later, I further realised that if you do not conform somewhere, then the system you oppose will permanently exclude you. The net permitted a certain re-balancing – but just look at how the capitalists have colonised it and turned everything into mindless adverts and paywalls. Keep you powder dry and tinder in good order. It is all about timing – and getting away with it. This is a small envelop of opportunity – so use it well. Meanwhile, my deceased father is lying in state – and what an awful state of Care Home, NHS, and Social Services neglect it is. Untreated ailments, sores, injuries – and so on.

Mao Zedong in USSR (1949)

USSR: Mao Zedong Celebrates Joseph Stalin’s Official [1949] 70th Birthday! (21.5.2026)

The 1878 Register of Infant Births kept in the Orthodox Episcopal Church of Gori City (Georgia) states (on page 33): “On December 6th, Gori resident and peasant Vissarion Ivanovich Dzhugashvili and his legal wife Ekaterina Gebrienovna gave birth to a son, Joseph”. This reference is taken as Stalin’s “actual” or “material” birthdate by many historians – although the former Catholic monk – Joseph McCabe – runs with the official date (explained below) which I find curious as he might well have had contacts who could have accessed the Church Records in Georgia. One reason might be that the politicised “Church” was viewed as acting hand-in-glove with the bourgeois (or “feudal” State in the Russian context) and therefore part of the problem that must be overthrown (that is, shifted from “public” to “private”). In this sense, who cares what the Church records? As the Secular State is primary (as the vehicle through which “Socialism” is achieved that leads to “Communism” and the dissolving of the State) – it should decide material reality and its manifestation.

Homo Lomgi - Chinese Ancestor!

China: New [Evolutionary] Finding May Rewrite Human Family Tree! (26.9.2025)

The reanalysis further pushes back the divergence time of modern humans — Homo sapiens — whose ancestors are estimated to have lived in Africa around 500,000 years ago, Neanderthals, who lived between 24,000 and 130,000 years ago in Europe, and Homo longi, a species closely related to Denisovans, who thrived from 30,000 to 285,000 years ago across Asia and are the cousins of Neanderthals.

Mementoes and certificates on the wall at Singh's house in Punjab

India: Fauja Singh [ਫੌਜਾ ਸਿੰਘ] World’s “Oldest” Marathon Runner [Aged 114] – Dies After Hit-and-Run! (15.7.2025)

In 1941, the Sikh Police Officers who served the British Authorities in Hong Kong turned on their employers and assisted the imperial Japanese to commit all kinds of atrocities against the British and ethnic Chinese locals. The Sikhs were then “expelled” as a distinct ethnic group from all British Armed Forces for the duration of WWII. Yes – the Sikhs took the side of fascism during WWII – whilst rejecting any form of secular Socialism. Later, individual Sikhs who had settled in England were allowed to join the British Military – but never again were groups of Sikhs allowed to form ethnic-specific military units. There is talk of a “People’s Party” in the main article – but if this is left-wing is open to debate – as the far-right is currently stealing virtually all left-wing ideas terminology in its drive to inflict fascism once again upon the world

Bashplemi Tablet - Georgia

UK: Georgia’s Undeciphered “Bashplemi Tablet”! (10.4.2025)

The next idea is that it might be a votive offering created as an act of worship – then thrown into a lake – to placate some type of pre-Christian deity. Of course, Georgia is not a Celtic area – with the (non-Celtic) Pagan Vikings not arriving until in the region until around the 8th-9th century CE (around four centuries after the arrival of Christianity). The problem with this idea is that if the people of Georgia were advanced enough to read, write and technologically produce such a stone tablet (using at least two-types of drill) – why go through all this effort just to throw the finished product into a local body of water? Perhaps the tablet was dropped into the lake by mistake. Either way, the tablet contains 60 discernible characters – 21 of which are unique – whilst 39 are repeated.

Mouldy Old Oranges!

China: Mouldy Old Oranges & the Groucho Marx-School of News Reporting! (26.3.2025)

A social media user on the Chinese platform RedNote discovered the white fungal growth on an apple she had bought from a month earlier. She then posted a photo of it online, which soon attracted thousands of likes, including a Xu Rongju, a doctoral student at the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Kunming Institute of Botany.

The institute believed that this is very rare and has research value so it decided to purchase it. The institute identified the growth on the apple as Schizophyllum, also known as the splitgill mushroom – a type of fungus with fan-shaped caps.
