UK: Shetland Organisation of Knitters “Shocked & Saddened” by Representation in Channel 4 “Game of Wool” Show! (7.11.2025)

Small patterns in Fair Isle are referred to as “peerie patterns”, but Leask has said they “would never” refer to them as “peeries”.

“That’s never been used by a Shetlander,” she said.

“A lot of Shetlanders have said they have never even heard of that.”

Leask described the misinformation in the show as “frustrating”, and said knitters locally spent a lot of their time having to clear up similar confusion with visitors to the isles.

SOK worries now that Game of Wool will have a further damaging effect on misinformation around Shetland knitting.

“The SOK are having to stand up for ourselves,” Leask said.

“The term Fair Isle is going to be lost. Fair Isle is being used when what they are making is not Fair Isle. It’s appropriation.”

And she also railed against Game of Wool as a whole, calling the first challenge – to knit a Fair Isle tank top in 12 hours – “just unrealistic”.

UK: More Climate-Change Tomfoolery – Enjoy the “Sun-Ray” Shield! (30.5.2025)

AIRA is an ongoing project of Tory-inspired anti-intellectualism. Below is a propaganda article that is theoretically absurd, false, and completely unworkable – and yet it is being presented as “true” to our youth. This is the inverted thinking of the bourgeois writ-large. I have checked with my scientific colleagues (who cannot be named due to the threat of cancel culture) who state that this is sheer child-like lunacy. A small barrier cannot block-out sun-rays to any noticeable or significant extent. Still, do not take my word for it, do your own research. Of course, you will initially get caught in the affirming processes (like telling you religion is literally “true”) – but this is like being diverted with the glitz of capitalist wealth – dig a little deeper and the disgusting under-belly will be become apparent. I am lucky as I am in a position to expose bourgeois corruption – but you must protect yourself from any establishment backlash. This is the price of free-thought – which must be charished.

China: US Allegations [& Reports] of Cyber-Attacks – Firmly Rejected! (17.1.2025)

Shen Yi, a professor at Fudan University in Shanghai and a leading expert on cyberspace governance studies, said, “U.S. intelligence agencies have a typical behavioural pattern in hyping cybersecurity governance and national security issues, which is fabricating facts using false and inaccurate information, and fabricating so-called cyberattacks by other countries.”

The objective is to hype security threats and create anxiety, Shen added.

Earlier this month, the U.S. Department of the Treasury sanctioned a Beijing-based cybersecurity company, accusing it of helping Chinese hackers infiltrate U.S. telecommunication systems and conduct surveillance.

Neo-Nazi Ukraine: Exploring the Issue of “North Korean” Troops in Russia! (25.11.2024)

North Korea’s Foreign Military Aid strategy has historical roots, and is perfectly normal for that country. During the Vietnam War, North Korea sent a Fighter Squadron to support its Communist ally North Vietnam; during the 1973 Arab-Israeli War, North Korea sent Pilots to fly Egyptian fighters; during the Iran-Iraq War, North Korea sent Military Instructors to support Iranian troops. Along with Cuba, North Korea supported the People’s Liberation Army of Angola against the Apartheid Regime of South Africa; North Korea has also provided military aid to other African countries, including Mozambique and Zimbabwe.

Masada: Roman Siege Ended in Just ‘2-Weeks’ – Not ‘3-Years’ – Debunking Zionist Propaganda! (14.9.2024)

Until recently, popular narrative suggested that the Roman army found it very difficult to take the Masada fortress, standing as a symbol of Jewish heroism in modern Israel.

For many years, it was assumed that this siege, one of the final moments of the First Jewish-Roman War, took nearly three years, but researchers have begun to challenge this belief.

Previous studies provide insights into the quantity of earth and stones a Roman soldier could move in a single day.

There are also records that about 6,000-8,000 soldiers participated in the siege of Masada.

Using this information, scientists could calculate how long it took them to build the entire siege system which included eight camps and a stone wall surrounding most of the site.

“We found that construction took merely about two weeks,” Hai Ashkenazi, another author of the study, said.

“Based on the ancient historical testimony it is clear that once the assault ramp was completed, the Romans launched a brutal attack, ultimately capturing the fortress within a few weeks at the most. This leads us to the conclusion that the entire siege of Masada lasted no more than several weeks,” Dr Ashkenazi said.

China: Uygur Women Hit Hardest by US Sanctions on Xinjiang! (1.9.2024)

Asked if the company would consider laying off its Uygur employees in exchange for the revocation of U.S. sanctions, Dai Tian, general manager of the Urumqi base at Xinjiang Middle Hoshine, said: “No. Absolutely not. We won’t lay off any ethic employees. They have been making contributions to the development of our company, how could we abandon them?”

“We even invested more in Xinjiang after the sanctions,” Dai said, adding that Hoshine has been adjusting its production structure and tackling technical challenges in response to the sanctions.

“We see safeguarding the great unity of our nation as our social responsibility. ‘Forced labor’ was merely an excuse to suppress the development of Chinese high-tech companies and to disrupt China’s social stability and unity. So we should be even more united, and focus on developing and strengthening ourselves,” Dai said.
