Confederate Civil War hero Colonel W.M. Shy!

CSA: The Body of a Confederate Colonel was Discovered in 1977! (18.11.2025)

The Civil War was now in its waning months. The North’s superior industrial strength and never ending supply of manpower had taken their toll over the downtrodden Confederacy. Everything was going downhill for the Rebels. After the fall of Vicksburg the Union had concentrated practically all its force against the “other Rebel army,” the Army of Tennessee. This army was the last hope for the South. It was led by General John Bell Hood who at this time was a physically beaten and emotionally unstable man. He had lost the use of one arm at Gettysburg and lost a leg at the Battle of Chickamauga. He had to be literally strapped to his horse to travel. Hood’s condition well depicted the general condition of the Army of Tennessee at this stage of the war.

Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi is a Racist!

China: Japan Bears Blame for Worsening Ties! (18.11.2025)

Sanae Takaichi is very much of those times – which saw the US losing on the Korean battlefield to Socialist China and Korea (the so-called “South Korean Army” was infact re-armed Korean regiments that had served in the Imperial Japanese Army before and during WWII – committing untold of atrocities as they went [the founder of Kyokushin Karate arose from this background] – including rape and murder against many Westerners) – and so North Korea and China become the problem – not the US – which is the actual (imperialistic) problem! Of course the bourgeois media is going to applaud this odious little woman – nothing but Trump with a womb (allegedly).

Confederate Infantry [1861-1865] penned by the British experts Ian Drury & Gerry Embleton (1993)

CSA: Book Review – “Confederate Infantryman [1861-1865]” By Ian Drury & Gerry Embleton! (16.11.2025)

Osprey Publishing is a British Publishing Company specializing in military history originally based in Oxford. Being English myself – and having been born in Oxford – I appreciate a clear-thinking and non-bias account of historical matters. The book above – Confederate Infantry [1861-1865] penned by the British experts Ian Drury & Gerry Embleton (1993) – is an extraordinary introduction to the subject of the Confederate Army in general – and the Confederate infantryman in-particular. An estimation of the Confederate causalities sustained during four-years of fighting (1861-1865) is as follows:

Confederate Casualties = 483,026

Killed in Action (KIA) = 94,000

Wounded in Action (WIA) = 194,026

Died of Diseases = 164,000

Died as Prisoners of War (POWs) = 31,000

CSA: On How President Jefferson Davis Changed His Opinion on Arming Southern Slaves! (15.11.2025)

Something of an oddity for a man who is often demonised in modern discourse as being the “defender of slavery”. Be that as it may, free Black men did exist in the South – and chose to join the Confederate Army – as free men. As the war wore-on – and the number of the White male population dwindled – it became ever apparent that the only resource the South possessed was its population of Black (male) slaves. General Pat Cleburne (the Irish-British volunteer killed at Franklin during late 1864) had suggested to Davis that the slaves be “freed” and conscripted into the Confederate Army. At the time, the conservative elements of the Confederate Congress refused to consider this idea. Following the Battle of Franklin (30.11.1864) and the huge casualties suffered by the Confederacy – Jefferson Davies decided to exercise his executive power and authorise 40,000 slaves to be co-opted into the Confederate Army to form Labour and Guarding Corps to free-up White soldiers for frontline duty. However, with the Confederate defeat at the Battle of Nashville (16.12.1864) – Davis stated that all slaves should now be freed and recruited into the Confederate Army – BEFORE the Union could get a chance to liberate them – and use these men against the South!

USSR: Foreign Waffen-SS Units Fighting for Nazi German During WWII! (15.11.2025)

After-all, WWII was a war of diametrically opposed ideologies. Even Jews (and Muslims) – amongst many other religious and ethnic groups – served in the Wehrmacht and SS formations. What follows is a full list of Waffen-SS Units that were formally established and recruited members into the Nazi German Army (some individuals, such as the Catholic Irish – did join the Nazi Germans [at the behest of the Vatican] – primarily in unofficial SS formations – or were distributed into other groupings due to time constraints and conditions on the ground). This is a list of SS Units that non-Germans could join (out of the hundreds of thousands of British POWs held during WWII – only “54” dared to join these enemy Units. They were tried and sentenced to death after the war). Furthermore, ethnic Germans born and/or living outside Nazi Germany were permitted to form their own SS Units.

China: BBC “Editing Scandal” Deepens Credibility Crisis! (15.11.2025)

The controversy erupted after The Daily Telegraph revealed an internal BBC memo showing that an October 2024 Panorama episode, Trump: A Second Chance?, had stitched together two segments of Trump’s speech on Jan. 6, 2021, delivered more than 50 minutes apart. The edit created the misleading impression that Trump was directly urging supporters toward the Capitol riot, sparking public outrage and prompting The New York Times to label it as the BBC’s “worst crisis in decades.”
