Cathay Pacific Dismisses Crew Members Accused of Discriminating Against Non-English Speakers! (23.5.2023)

Most of the Flight Attendants I interacted with were young and older women from Hong Kong, the Philippines, Malaysia and Indonesia – and although NOT all were ethnic Chinese – all were ‘Asian’ and all had to be able to speak ‘English’ and ‘Cantonese’ (the dialect of the Chinese language spoke throughout Guangdong province, Hong Kong and various other areas of Asia outside of geographical China) – regardless of their own ethnic language. What the Cathay-Pacific Staff did NOT have to do was speak fluent ‘Putonghua’ (what the West refers to as ‘Mandarin’) the language spoken throughout Mainland China – as the business model at that time was toward the ‘West’ – and NOT toward ‘China’! Times have changed – and given that China is now an economic powerhouse – it is true that within the modern business climate just as many ethnic Chinese people from Mainland China (and elsewhere) use the Airline as Westerners – and that this change in business demographic toward the Chinese Mainland should be recognised by the British ‘Swire’ (family which still maintains a controlling shareholder stake in the business) – and reflected in the training of its Staff! The Cathay-Pacific Staff members who ‘discriminated’ against ‘Putonghua’ speakers on the flight concerned – hsve been ‘sacked’ – and I suspect this process was carried-out in a language they could ALL fully understand!

Transgender Studies: Interesting Academic Information! (14.5.2023)

This is a selection of reliable (academic) articles pertaining to the US and UK regarding the objective study of ‘Transgenderism’ and/or ‘Transsexuality’ – with a bias toward the US. I have checked the links to ensure each is working properly, and have assessed the efficacy of each research paper. The data should be ‘objective’ and its scientific interpretation ‘impartial’. This type of study is important so as to avoid ‘political’ bias (of whatever orientation) and to construct a sound ‘material’ basis for the study of this subject. We know that this subject ‘exists’ – and we need to establish ‘why’ and in so doing ascertain the ‘direction’ of this trend. This process requires ‘detachment’ from the more ’emotive’ reactions seen within certain sections of society – and to approach this subject as a Doctor might approach any other element of physical and psychological health.

US Amti-Intellectualism and the “Myth” of Abraham Lincoln’s Anti-Racism! (1.5.2023)

“I will say then that I am not, nor ever have been in favour of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races, [applause]—that I am not nor ever have been in favour of making voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people; and I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the white and black races which I believe will for ever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality.” Abraham Lincoln

German Authorities ‘Allow’ Neo-Nazi Ukrainians to Attend Buchenwald Concentration Camp Memorial! (11.4.2023) 

The actions in memory of multinational Concentration Camp prisoners are NOT “racist” and cannot be made to appear so! Anything can be called “anti-democratic” today – often distorting the very essence of the definition of “democracy”! And yet this is what we have been told, “We have carefully studied your web pages and social media channels and have come to the conclusion that statements that contradict the goals of our Foundation regularly appear there,” the Buchenwald Administration stated as a reason for the refusal. Of course, this is just a “front” – with the real reason being that the “German-Russian Brotherly Souls” has resolutely maintained its good relations with Russia and has not bowed to international pressure to pursue an opposite path! It would seem that it is this “Solidarity” between Germans and Russians in the face of US pressure which is frightening the Authorities at Buchenwald!

DPRK: Racial Discrimination – Chronic Disease of US! (29.3.2023)

The discriminative acts against the nonwhite people occurring every day in the U.S. clearly demonstrate to the world that the U.S. society is the breeding ground of human rights obliteration and barren land of human rights.

Martin Luther King who was the leader of black people in the U.S. once said that they wish the racial discrimination will soon be terminated forever in the U.S. society and this country will awaken sometime and truly realize his admonition that it is a self-evident truth that all people are equal. Half a century has passed since then, but his desire still remains as a desire.

All the facts prove that racial discrimination is an inevitable consequence of anti-popular social system of the U.S. and in the U.S. – the “exemplary human rights state” short before explosion – genuine human rights can never be ensured.

Xinhua Commentary: US Makes Mocks Democracy and the ‘Voice of the People’! (30.3.2023)

The Brookings Institution concluded in a 2022 report that the once proud American democracy is facing a systemic crisis and is accelerating its decline. The impact is spreading to all fronts in domestic politics, the economy and society, posing a mortal threat to the legitimacy and health of capitalism.

In addition, the U.S. elections are actually the “game of the rich.” This was vividly illustrated by the 2022 midterm elections, which had a price tag of more than 16.7 billion U.S. dollars, breaking the 2018 record of 14 billion dollars, as found by Reveal, an online platform tracking the flow of political donations in the country.

The nature of American politics has become increasingly apparent as money-driven, with power being concentrated among the wealthy and politicians serving their own interests.

The proverbial phrase “All roads lead to Rome” reminds us that every country has the right to chart its own course. Unfortunately, the United States has often caused tragic outcomes by attempting to impose its own form of democracy on other nations.

The American style of democracy has not only been seriously questioned domestically but also gained notoriety overseas, and the second “Summit for Democracy” is just another U.S. tool to maintain its hegemony.
