CSA: Battle at Newton Station – April 24th 1863! (1.7.2026)

01/07/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

Although I am no fan of the right-wing (racist) actor – John Wayne – the 1959 film entitled “The Horse Soldiers” covers the so-called “Battle at Newton Station” which unfolded on April 24th, 1863 – and took place in Mississippi. This involved the penetration of the South in the Western Theatre by Col. Benjamin Grierson (1826-1911) and his Union Cavalry Unit. The idea was to commit acts of terrorism and sabotage toward the CSA and its train network – so that it could not easily transport troops and supplies around the country. As Cavalry acted as a light and highly mobile infantry – these troops often turned-out to be highly effective in this role. The clip I have added above is from the film “The Horse Soldiers” and depicts Confederate troops arriving by train at the station and launching what they thought to be a surprise attack. From what records survive, it is said that the CSA lost around 25 men – but this number could have been higher. I am told that Confederate charges like this – from trains – did take place on more than one occasion.

Fatah Central Committee discusses political developments and internal affairs

Palestine: Fatah Central Committee Discusses Political Developments & Internal Affairs! (1.7.2026)

It is complicated as there are Islamic militants living within the Palestinian Authorities and Fatah-supporters around Gaza – this explains why there are the occasional stories of Fatah soldiers clashing with Hamas fighters – and vice-versa – as they traverse through one another’s yerritories. Here is the main issue – although left-leaning, the Hamas movement rejects secular Marxism and views it as an attack upon Islam – whilst Fatah advocates a “Secular” Socialist society within which all religions should peacefully co-exist as a private matter (with everyone possessing the right to be “Atheist”). The Zionist Jews and Islamicists reject this interpretation and believe their respective religions should dominate the entire political system – with atheism being illegal and all other religions subordinate. In the final analysis, these factions tend to function through a loose affiliation that opposes Israeli dominance and military aggression. Many White supporters of Iran, for instance, parrot the Iranian opposition to Marxism – and on it goes.

Email: Was Stonehenge the Epicentre of “Hyperborea”? (30.6.2026)

However, I think the Druids may well be pre-Celtic – and yet still existed in Britain when the Romans arrived – living quite happily amongst the Celts. Indeed, the two cultures – the “Druid” and the “Celtic” appear to have peacefully co-existed and nourished one another. Whereas the Druids and Celts viewed the Romans as being “foreign” and “incompatible” – these two cultures viewed one another as mutually reinforcing. Greek explorers probably reached the British Isles a long time ago – when its weather was humid (even tropical), the population small, and the food plentiful. Stonehenge was built around 3000 BCE – so everything was inn-place for an idyllic interpretation and the construction in the Greek imagination of the a mythically “perfect” place. The Greek words “ὑπέρ Βορέᾱ” – can be translated as “Hyper” (“Beyond”) “Borea” (the “North”) – or perhaps “Over the Northern-Sea”.

Mindulle Notebook Factory known as a treasure factory throughout the country

DPRK: Socialist Education Guarded By Mindulle Notebook Factory! (30.6.2026)

30/06/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

In Pyongyang, the capital city of the DPRK, there is a modern factory specializing in producing notebooks for children and students from kindergartens to universities across the country.

It is the Mindulle Notebook Factory known as a treasure factory throughout the country.

The factory has increased its annual production capacity from 50 million volumes in the early days of its operation to 150 million volumes. It produces various kinds of books including notebooks according to subjects, homework notebooks, diary books and parent-contact memo-books.

As there are scenes of Korean cartoons suited to children’s mind and interesting puzzles in the covers of notebooks, all children and students like to use the notebooks.

The Mindulle Notebook Factory was built on the direct initiative and under the meticulous guidance of the respected Comrade General Secretary Kim Jong Un.

UK: Education System ‘Not Set Up to Serve White Working-Class Children’! (29.6.2026)

29/06/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

The Independent Inquiry into White Working-Class Educational Outcomes also determined that once-in-a-generation reforms were needed to tackle why such children are the lowest-performing large demographic in England’s school system.

It was commissioned last summer by the multi-academy trust Star Academies, and is supported by the Department for Education.

Inquiry co-chairs Baroness Estelle Morris and Sir Hamid Patel said the issues identified in the report “cannot be explained away by low aspiration or lack of effort”, and cannot be “solved by schools alone”.

Thousands of young people and their parents, as well as hundreds of teachers, were interviewed for the inquiry.

The Education Secretary has welcomed a report into educational outcomes for white working-class boys, saying class remains “a huge driver of outcomes…right across society”.

Bridget Phillipson told Times Radio: “I welcome the report, because I think it shines a really important light on what has been an underdiscussed area for some time in the schools.”

She added: “Class is a huge driver of outcomes, never mind in our politics, but right across society.

“If by class we mean the family that you’re born into determining what you go on to achieve in life, that’s as strong a driver as anything.

“We know that children born into less well-off families are more likely to arrive at school further behind their more affluent peers. We know they don’t make progress across school in closing that gap, and we know they’re more likely at the end of school to go into being not in education, employment, or training.

“So, background, social background, family background, where you’re born, they are big determinants of what you achieve in your life.

DPRK: Military Miracles Performed During Fatherland Liberation War [1950-1953]! (28.6.2026)

28/06/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

The Fatherland Liberation War (June 25, 1950-July 27, 1953) was a war in which the DPRK (founded on September 9, 1948) honourably defended its freedom and independence of the country from the aggression of the imperialist allied forces headed by the U.S. imperialists.

The war, which can be called a confrontation between a rifle and A-bomb, witnessed military miracles unprecedented in the history of world wars thanks to the outstanding military ideas, Juche-oriented war tactics and superb strategy and tactics of President Kim Il Sung.

Liberation of Seoul, the Stronghold of the Enemy, in Just Three Days through Immediate Counterattack

The fate of the war depends on how to cope with the sudden large-scale aggression of the enemy.

The history of world wars records those countries which suffered repeated defeats as they failed to respond to the enemies’ aggression in time even though they had strong military muscle.
