UK: Ancient DNA Reveals West African Ancestry in Early Medieval England! (4.1.2026)

04/01/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

Archaeologists have analysed the DNA of two unrelated individuals buried in seventh-century-AD cemeteries on the south coast of England, revealing that they both had recent ancestors, likely grandparents, from West Africa.

During the Early Middle Ages, England saw significant migration from continental northern Europe. Historical accounts describe the settlement of Angles, Saxons, and Jutes, who gave their names to the Anglo-Saxon period and perhaps the country itself. However, the extent of movement from further afield was less clear.

“Migration and its direction, scale and impact have been much debated in European archaeology,” state the authors. “Archaeogenetic research can now provide new insight, even identifying individual migrants”.

After months of mystery around the disappearance of the panels, two media organizations — the Jewish Telegraphic Agency (JTA) and online media Dutch News — this month published emails obtained through a U.S. Freedom of Information Act request showing that Trump’s DEI policies directly prompted the commission to take down the panels.

The White House did not respond to queries from AP about the removed panels.

The American Battle Monuments Commission did not respond to queries from AP about the revelations. Earlier, the ABMC told the AP that the panel that discussed segregation “did not fall within (the) commemorative mission.”

USSR: The Legal Status of Foreign Workers! (13.10.2025)

The above Soviet laws explain how a Socialist State behaves toward those unknown or unfamiliar individuals who enter into its socio-economic (geographical) space. Soviet law founded by Lenin and Stalin should be studied and put into practice wherever we live – regardless of what economic system we have to live within. This is the power we all possess. The capitalist system can do whatever it wants in the outside world (until we over-throw it) – but it cannot alter the inner terrain of our minds – if we choose to arrange it in a certain orientation. We do not have hate we choose not to. We can all be Socialist and Communists “here and now” – and do not have to rely on any external entity.
