Formidable DPRK Weaponry - 2026

Laos: DPRK Celebrates 81st Anniversary of “Workers’ Party of Korea” – “National Defence Revolution Museum” Inaugurated! (14.10.2026)

Kim Jong Un cut the inauguration ribbon and toured the exhibits. Reflecting on the arduous path of modernising the Juche-oriented defence industry, he described the museum as an immortal archive demonstrating how the dignity, security, and peace of the DPRK are defended. 

He praised the current level of the defence industry as the zenith of glory and honour, achieved through the tenacity, patriotism, and loyalty of a people who unconditionally supported the WPK’s self-defence policies despite severe trials.

He affirmed that building the world’s most powerful defence industry is the WPK’s inherent obligation to protect the destiny of its people. Furthermore, he declared that the nation’s powerful Juche-based weaponry will continue to evolve, dramatically elevating the country’s global position, while the museum itself will expand over time.

Magnus Hirschfeld & Chinese Boyfriend - Li Shiu Tong ( 李兆堂)

Germany: Magnus Hirschfeld & Chinese Boyfriend “Li Shiu Tong”! (12.10.2026)

Whether or not the Hong Kong-born (British Subject) – Li Shiu Tong (李兆堂) [1907-1996] – was his lover is open to debate – but the weight of evidence does seem to suggest that he was (either Li’s Chinese family understood he was gay and approved of it – or they did not fully comprehend what was happening – and mistook his travelling abroad as being the product of his clever and successful scholarship). Hirschfeld was around 49-years his senior. I will attempt to look-up a reliable Chinese-language biography of Li and translate it for this blog. After the death of Hirschfeld – Li tended to drift toward the idea that LGBTQ identities are partly genetic and partly environmental. Li studied medicine in Shanghai – but never finished his degree – and even studied at Harvard, again without completely his degree. He was obviously very intelligent and managed to leave China and hold his own in the West. Li died in Canada aged 86 – with his younger brother dealing with his affairs. Reports suggest most of his Western property (much of it inherited from Hirschfeld – was thrown into a public skip. Indeed, a passerby is said to have rescued some of it – including the text-books, notes, and even the death-mask of Hirschfeld.

Russia: Yuriy Afonin – “Pro-Government Sociology Recognizes Reality”! (11.10.2026)

I would like to remind you that the leadership of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, immediately after receiving the first data on the results of voting in the elections to the State Duma, stated that, according to independent sociological data, the result of our party should be much higher.

The leader of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, Gennady Andreyevich Zyuganov, raised the issue of artificially underestimating the result of our party in a number of regions at a meeting with the President of Russia. And he proposed to create a commission that investigates electoral violations. The president agreed that an investigation is necessary.

FILE - This undated photo provided by the Bell County Sheriff's Department shows former Army psychiatrist Maj. Nidal Hasan.

UK: Email – Initial Thoughts on Nidal Hasan! (10.10.2026)

. Still, as we pay our way in the UK (either through labour or money) – I suppose that once conception of stealing somebody else’s land becomes “normalised” as a practice – well – anything is permissible after the “honestly earning” rule is broken. Fireing-squads are at least honourable – whilst hanging is reserved for a common criminal. Major Nidal Hasan (Dishonourably Discouraged) has been paralysed below the chest since the police shot him in 2009 (I am not sure if it was “civilian” or “military”). Again, he had just killed 14 fellow soldiers and wounded 32 others – in a clinic for serving military personnel suffering from Psychiatric Disorders. Ironically, when discharged from military service – the US government no longer cares about their well-being – as all Veteran Association hospitals and clinics have been shut-down – because they “cost too much” run. As far as I am aware – Mr Hasan believes his death will be a “martyrdom”. In a recent US academic report – the US military has killed between 20-30 million people around the globe since 1945 to present. All the victims of US aggression around the world are left wondering when President Trump will hold the killers of their families and friends to account? Short answer – never. Long annswer – do not hold your breath.
