China: Humanoid Robot Beats – Usain Bolt’s – 100-Metre World Record Time! (24.8.2026)

24/08/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

Let’s face, a “robot” is basically a car manifesting its fast manoeuvrability via “two-legs” – instead of wheels. A standard car, depending upon the skill of the driver, should be able to easily beat the fastest of humans. A human-body lacks the mechanical ability to accelerate from 0-60mph in five-seconds – on the grounds that it has not been an evolutionary necessity. The idea that an artificial machine, just because it has been given the moulded externality of a “human-shaped body” – does not mean it has any genuine relationship (or connection) to a “biologically-functioning” human-body. What is the difference between a “robot” and a “drone”? Answer – the ability to “flight”. And that’s about it. What’s next – parachuting? Rock-climbing? Diving? It is an interesting gimmick and I suspect the CPC might be using ths technology to intimidate the US by proxy – as these “funny little fellows” might be used as expendable infantry soldiers in a future war of self-defence against US aggression.

Gazza Scores A Beautiful Goal For Gansu Tianma in His First Game!

China: 26-Years Ago – Paul Gascoigne – Played Four Football Games & Scored 2-Goals In-Front of 30,000 Fans in Gansu – Then Suddenly Left! (13.8.2026)

The above article is full of hope and love for Paul Gascoigne and the “Gansu Divine-Sky Horses” – the struggling Chinese football team Gazza was contracted to play for. Gazza’s playing career spanned 19-years between 1985-2004. Many English football stars – as they are so much more skilled than the average footballer – tend to play abroad for a time in their latter career before taking jobs as coaches, trainers, and media commentators, etc. Gazza avoided most of this and experienced very public battles with addiction and psychological issues. This is all a matter of public record. As Gazza suffered endless injuries as his body aged rapidly (compounded by the effects of alcohol) – his options for foreign playing were highly limited. In many ways, Gazza was lucky for the opportunity China gave him – and to this day he has never uttered a word of gratitude. This is the way things are – and there is reason to sugar-coat it. Watching the films of Gazza at his peak – there is no doubt he was one of the best players in the world. Even at the other end of his playing-career – the Chinese people were grateful he had chosen to play in their country. I think the BBC paid Gazza for an exclusive documentary about his time in China. It could be that he stayed long enough for the BBC cheque to clear before leaving – and never intended to stay in China – or help their football game develop.

FIFA: Solidarity at Regional Level Crushes Gianni Infantino’s “Pro-Zionist” Plans – Football Will Not Be Sold to Israel! (1.8.2026)

All the ingredients are there for radical left-wing politics – but of course – this collective bargaining power has been used in a very specific manner. In Europe, for instance, an elite top-tier player (before tax) can earn something in the region of £525,000 a week or an annual (yearly) salary of £27,300,000 (even after tax – this is a substantial amount). Obviously, this is not your average worker and the amounts are obscene when you consider a Nurse will yearn around £25,000 a year (after tax). Still, that is the world of predatory capitalism. Amateur (grass-roots) football in England sees eleven men turn-up every weekend and play for 90 minutes – for free. Add to this how expensive ticket prices are to attend Premier League games live (£75 per match on average) or about the same to watch each match on live-TV – and it is clear that the business of football empowers a very small section of the working-class – at the expense of the material well-being of the lumpen-proletariat. I have heard stories told of men out of work spending their dole money not on feeding their families – but instead attending a 90-minute game. The fans fuel the game – but so does business investment – and here in lies the crux of the matter with FIFA. Exploiting the workers to enrich a few workers is just part of the beautiful game. Business does its part as popular players boost brand sales – and brand sales raise the value of popular players. These players are not building time machines, perfecting space travel, or finding a cure for cancer – but are kicking around a ball full of air – as a leisure activity. It has been said that like religion – football is like an opium of the masses – but it does not have to be that way. Ironically, whilst paying for their National Squads, players do not receive their huge domestic salaries (there may be a nominal fee per match – around £2000 – which in the case of England is donated to charity) – although they will obviously benefit from the publicity regarding their ongoing sponsorship deals. It is the profitable association with success and glamour which fuels this lucrative machine. Still, it would appear that Players’ Unions (which have no moral qualms exploiting their fellow working-class) draw the line at openly associating themselves with the murderous regime of Israel and its genocidal policies in Gaza (and elsewhere). good for them. Zionism is racist – just look at how poorly Iran (and other Islamic countries) were treated at the 2026 World Cup!

A video of a wicket during Saltburn's win over Norton in the North Yorkshire and South Durham Cricket League has gone viral for an alleged incident of cheating

UK: Weird News from England – Saltburn Cricket Club ‘Clicking’ Scandal Goes Viral! (29.7.2026)

Anyone who knows cricket – will understand that there is a lot going when the ball is being bowled. Add to this the players talking, shouting, running about, and the noise from the crowd and the general environment, as well as the weather conditions – I would say it is impossible to a) make a loud enough noise to fool the Umpire (simulating a leather ball is hitting a wooden bat), whilst b) doing this so as not to make it obvious you are attempting to cheat. There is now a viral investigation where cricket enthusiasts are watching past videos of Saltburn CC games – to see if the alleged fielder is regularly doing this. A recent video can be seen on the BBC coverage of this story – and it looks to me like a mannerism – but I could be wrong. More evidence is needed. Apparently, despite being local cricket, numerous videos are available of Saltburn CC playing matches – but failing that (the situation may not be obvious whilst filming at a distance) – the players might have to be interviewed and a confession extracted if this matter is to be resolved. There is another possibility. As Saltburn CC seems to be doing rather well for itself – has it fallen victim to malicious intent from an unknown cause?

Telesur: 2030 FIFA World Cup Welcomes First Six Confirmed Nations! (23.7.2026)

The three European hosts -Spain, Portugal and Morocco- will serve as principal organizers of the event, following the co-hosting model applied in the 2026 North American edition. This marks the first World Cup to be held across two confederations simultaneously, and the first in Africa since South Africa 2010.

Morocco will host the tournament for the first time, becoming the second African nation to organize a World Cup. Portugal also debuts as a host country. Spain, meanwhile, returns as organizer after the 1982 edition.

The South American leg pays tribute to the 100-year anniversary of the inaugural World Cup. Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay will host one match each at historic venues: the Monumental Stadium in Buenos Aires, the Centenario Stadium in Montevideo -site of the 1930 final-and the Osvaldo Domínguez Dibb Stadium in Asunción. These three matches will kick off the respective group stage campaigns of each national team before the competition moves entirely to the European and African main venues.

Our Girl Cat Asks "WHY" Is It England Cannot Defend a Lead?

US: FIFA World Cup England 6-4 France – Bronze-Medal Final! (19.7.2026)

Interestingly, this is how Argentina plays – by pushing all their strikers up into the opponent’s half – even substituting midfield and defensive players for even more strikers! England did not go that far – but the effect was similar. If you can dictate the pace and where the game will take place – you can “hide” the weaknesses in your team. Obviously, at half-time, the French coach re-set the approach of the French team – and they came out attacking England’s shaky defence (they got round the back)! We know this worked as they quickly scored “4” goals and put England under intense pressure until substitutions could be made that soldified the formation. Although never drawing equal – it was close – and England had to work hard to score two-more goals! Was Tuchel right to play this England side? Well, probably “yes”. The French could have scored “4” goals against England’s a-team – and England might not have had an answer to any of it! England could have gone 4-0 down and stayed 4-0 down! Instead, an inspired choice of fresh and highly motivated English reserves caught the French totally by surprise! The “4” goals England scored gave a sevurity blanket against the French avalanche – when it came – and come it did! We already had the goals in the bag – but had to work to stop it getting any worse – or throwing away the first-half lead! Many thought that England and France should have been in the final – and were the best two sides. We got our final in the end and can proudly hold our heads up high with a well-earned third-place in the world. One-day, we will regain the top spot in world football – the game England invented!
