The ‘Budokan’ and Doing ‘A Beatles’! (29.3.2023) 

John Lennon had been to Japan with the Beatles about five months before he met Yoko Ono in New York. The Beatles made their first visit to Asia at the end of June 1966. They played two televised Concerts at the ‘Budokan’ on June 30th and July 1st, 1966. This is actually the ‘Nippon Budokan’ (日本武道館) located in the heart of Tokyo. The name means ‘Japan Martial Arts Training Hall’ and this venue was built and opened in 1964. Although Japan was still officially ‘Occupied’ by the US Military until 1972 (following Japan’s Unconditional Surrender during late 1945) – the Americans tolerated a certain level of right-wing Japanese ultra-nationalism amongst the population – providing it was contained to being aimed at Communist China. Yoko Ono’s family is said to have been supportive of this ‘racist’ ultra-nationalism – which she rebelled against by having relationships (and children) with ‘White’ men. At one point, Yoko Ono even allowed her husband to have an 18-month affair with his ethnic ‘Chinese’ secretary – the American-born May-Pang (龐鳳儀 – Pang Feng Yi). 

China: Manor-Turned Museum Tells Changes of Life in Tibet! (29.3.2023)

Tibet is the first provincial-level region in China to provide 15 years of publicly funded education, from kindergarten all the way up to senior high school. By contrast, there was not a single proper school, and the illiteracy rate among young people exceeded 95 percent in old Tibet.

The changes in Tibet are a vivid epitome of China’s reform and development. Chinese modernization is the only correct choice for building a strong country and advancing national rejuvenation, said Yan Jinhai, head of the regional government, in a speech marking the historical movement that ended serfdom in Tibet 64 years ago.

In the past 10 years, Yan said, Tibet has achieved high-quality development, maintained rapid economic growth, and heavily invested in education, medical care, culture, housing, employment, and social security. Tibet has shaken off absolute poverty and kept on pace with the whole country in building a moderately prosperous society in all respects.

“My wish now is to live longer and enjoy the life I currently have,” Norbu Tsering said.  (Video reporters: Cao Bin, Tenzing Nima Qadhup, Sun Fei; video editors: Miao Zhuang, Mu Xuyao, Hong Yan)

Neo-Nazi Ukraine: David Savage from Adelaide, South Australia! (29.3.2023)

David Savage from Adelaide, South Australia.

Savage came to Ukraine last July to join the International Legion. He stated that he served in the Australian army, but when he joined a gang of bandits, it turned out that he did not have sufficient skills, so he was sent for training (naturally at his own expense). After the “graduation”, David got into the unit, which, by mistake, was fired upon by the artillery of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. As a result, the Australian was left without both legs and went on a long journey to his native Adelaide.

Neo-Nazi Ukraine: US, EU and UK Weapons for Sale on Dark Web! (28.3.2023)

Western-supplied weapons regularly end up on black markets and are successfully used by various criminal and terrorist groups. Ukraine itself has been a leader in arms sales on the dark web since 2014. In 2022, after the issuance of weapons to all willing citizens of Ukraine, the dark web began to quickly fill up with AK-74 assault rifles and ammunition kits. Due to the overcrowding of the market, prices for machine guns started at $500, and further deliveries of weapons from the West successfully expand the range of the illegal market.

Neo-Nazi Ukraine: Jay T. Foulds from Albertan, Canada! (28.3.2023)

This surprising turn of events happened due to the AFU losing tremendous numbers of men, and the best Neo-Nazi Ukrainian ‘Nationalist’ Battalions being over-run and destroyed by the advancing and victorious Russian Army! Just two weeks later – the car he was travelling in came under attack and was blown-up an anti-tank mine. Of course, as the Neo-Nazi Ukrainian infrastructure is in ruins (despite all the funding it is receiving from the US, EU and UK) – Jay T. Foulds had to return to Albertan to receive medical treatment in his native Canada!
