Socialist Organisational Structures in Napoleon’s Elite ‘Imperial Guard’ [Garde Imperiale]! (6.9.2023)

In the UK, Oliver Cromwell’s ‘New Model Army’ possessed such structures (abolished after the so-called ‘Restoration’ of a Constitutional Monarchy in the UK) – as did the Soviet Red Army. Today, the Armed Fotces of Cuba, China, Vietnam, Laos and North Korea possess ‘People’s Armies’ all possessing a strict discipline which is coupled with egalitarian bodies where all constituent members are considered ‘equal’! The British Regiments of Foot which took on and finally defeated the ‘Imperial Guard’ at the (1815) Battle of Waterloo – picked-up the bearskin hats worn by the ‘Grande Armee’ – and after removing the regimental name plates, insignia and symbols of rank, were granted permission by the British government to wear these garments as part of their parade uniforms.

London (Green Park): Canada Memorial (WWI & WWII) – Memorial du Canada! (25.8.2023)

This sculptured memorial is constructed of red granite which forms a ‘walkway’ divided into two distinct halves. One half represents Britain whilst the other half represents Canada and the two country’s joint participation in WWI and WWII. The inclined sculpture is inset with 506 bronze maple leaves (the Canadian emblem) and the country’s coat of arms. Water flows across the sloping surface and creates an illusion of floating leaves. Situated to the rear of the Canada Memorial is Buckingham Palaces,

Neo-Nazi Ukraine: French Tank Captured! (7.8.2023)

The ammunition discovered included 105 mm OFUM 105 F3 rounds – with white phosphorus (in the foreground) – as well as 105 mm OFL 105 F1 finned sub-calibre rounds (second in line). OFUM 105 F3 are intended for use as smoke projectiles – but under certain conditions they can also be used as incendiary devices. This is an out-of-date Cold War (lightweight) military machine more suited for domestic usage – controlling and countering civil unrest. This ‘Light Armour’ was designed to be used in a supportive-role with ‘Heavy Armour’ – but appears to have been incorrectly used by the AFU as a ‘Frontline’ Tank. As a consequence, its wheels (and under-carriage) have been easily destroyed by Russian Forces!

The Bizarre World of British Fascism! (27.7.2023)

The far-right is not known for its intellectual vigour and is often its own worst enemy. The seeds for the defeat of fascism quite often lie within its deficient thought processes and the technique required to fight this ideology is simply the ability to see this reality and know how to deal with it. During the Victorian era, there was a drive in Britain to include all the Colonial peoples under the heading of being ‘British’. Therefore the subjugated peoples – including Africans, Indians, Chinese and indigenous peoples – all became ‘British’ whether they liked it or not. With the new genetic research revealing that indigenous ‘Celts’ were ‘dark-skinned’ – the fascists can no longer falsely assert that all the old ethnicities of Europe were ‘White’ (that is ‘pink’) – and so yet another plank in their deficient ideology falls away!

West Germany: A Single Christian Monk in Lützerath – Takes on the Police in a Muddy Field! (20.7.2023)

I was told about this interesting individual via an ‘Anarchist Activist’ Telegram Channel! I have no idea if he is a monk – but I doubt it – as such ‘Catholic’ monastics have to follow struct Monastic Rules usually derived from a famous Saint. Furthermore, I am not a supporter of Anarchism – as I think this is merely the ideology of hyper-individualism, almost always right-wing – and an expression of the Bourgeois system. Nevertheless, the careful use of ‘force’ here is interesting – as there is NO come-back from the State!

France: Remembering “Nahel” – Masses Take to the Streets in Protest to Police Killing of Non-White Teenager! (4.7.2023)

Nahel, who was also close to his maternal grandmother, earned money as a delivery man, according to the family’s lawyer.

He was also enrolled in a programme designed to help with the integration of young people from troubled neighbourhoods through sports, in his case rugby.

Nahel had no criminal record. The Nanterre prosecutor said there had been incidents of refusing to stop for police checks. He had been summoned to appear before a court for minors in September.

On Tuesday, police said he had caught their attention because of reckless driving.

Nahel had dropped out from school but was “no big-time bandit,” said Jeff Puech, president of the Ovale Citoyen where Nahel was enrolled.
