Shrub Ox Evolved Outside North America!

China: North American Shrub Ox Fossils Discovered in Eurasia! (24.10.2024)

Phylogenetic studies show that shrub oxen formed a sister group with musk oxen, indicating a closer evolutionary relationship between the two compared to other bovidae. 

“Building on previous research, we expanded our study to include Quaternary musk oxen and concluded that their evolution can indeed be divided into two groups: high-horned and low-horned species. These two groups migrated from Eurasia to North America during the Late Early Pleistocene to Early Middle Pleistocene, and the Late Middle Pleistocene, respectively,” Bai stated.

This research provides new material on the diversity and evolution of musk oxen and is significant for understanding faunal exchanges between Eurasia and North America during the Quaternary period.

Moon South Pole Samples!

China: Researchers Reveal Chang’e-6 Lunar Samples Composition! (18.9.2024)

The Chang’e-6 mission, however, marks the first time humanity has ever successfully collected samples from the Moon’s far side, returning 1,935.3 grams of precious material.

The landing site for this sampling mission was located in the South Pole-Aitken basin on the far side, specifically at the edge of the Apollo impact crater, an area where the lunar crust is extremely thin, potentially revealing primordial materials from the early impact basins. Particle analysis shows a bimodal distribution of grain sizes, indicating that the samples may have undergone mixing from different sources.

The study indicates that the Chang’e-6 samples contain not only basalt that records the history of volcanic activity on the Moon, but also non-basaltic materials from other regions.

Philosophy: The Public Thought Experiment – “Man or Bear”? (15.5.2024)

A prime example of an academic who does operate freedom of thought is Grover Furr. Like myself, he has examined and seen through the lies and distortions which the West uses to interpret the history of the Soviet Union and the purpose of the ideology of Socialism. This corrective has important implications for Cuba, Vietnam, China, North Korea, and Laos, as well as all those left-leaning regimes throughout the world (many operating in Central and South America). Developing a three-dimensional state of mind only comes about by the purposeful adopting of “thought exercises” (a type of role-playing) which allows the thought processes to expand into directions they would not necessarily extend into. In a very real sense, this is arguing for argument’s sake. Examples of this might include arguing for the ideology of Adolf Hitler, or make a case for the Zionist invasion, occupation and settlement of the entirety of Palestine. What is argued for must be “shocking” to those who have no choice but to conform and constructively act.

New Moon Map!

China: World’s First High-Definition Lunar Geologic Atlas Published! (22.4.2024)

He mentioned that China’s upcoming Chang’e-6 mission is expected to collect samples in the Apollo Basin within the South Pole-Aitken Basin on the far side of the moon, which means materials ejected from ancient terrain may be collected in the process. “Our map can provide a macroscopic geologic background to improve the purpose and efficiency of the sample research,” Liu explained.

The compilation of this map was an immense task, which required the organization and cooperation of many well-informed researchers over many years to be able to achieve a consistent and complete result, commented Gregory Michael, a senior scientist from the Free University of Berlin in Germany.

“This map, in particular, is the first on a global scale to utilize all of the post-Apollo era data. It builds on the achievements of the international community over the last decades, as well as on China’s own highly successful Chang’e program. It will be a starting point for every new question of lunar geology, and become a primary resource for researchers studying lunar processes of all kinds,” Michael added.

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.

Darwin Had Read Das Kapital!

Buddhist-Marxism Alliance (UK) – When Darwin Read Marx! (24.2.2024)

A large sign said ‘NO Photography’ – but I politely enquired as to whether I could snap a ‘small’ picture – and was given a cryptic permission. Many (deceptive) Trotskyites state that Darwin never opened the book – but I saw with my own eyes that the pages had been both ‘cut’ and ‘opened’. Interestingly, the correspondence between Darwin and Marx (discussing their respective theories) are not yet publicly available. I am told this might be because of the positive attitude Darwin expressed about what Marx had to say.
