Email: Material [Military] Science & Religious Belief! (30.3.2026)

The Americans learned in the 1770s that there is a material reality to warfare and that this has nothing to do with religion. The Americans developed better cannons to kill as many English Red Coats “at a distance” – so that their inexperienced “volunteer” force could better handle these tough working-class Englishmen hand-to-hand. The evidence suggests that the brutal discipline practiced by the Red Coats still made this process very difficult and very different to the films. The Red Coats carried-on marching in formation despite significant losses – each soldier doggedly “locking forward” and never to the left and right (which often involved huge holes in the lines). Interestingly, both the Union and Confederacy sought to replicate these levels of bravery in their own respective armies – one of the reasons I find this era of history to be quite fascinating. What the Confederacy lacked in material support – it more than make-up for this deficiency in the personal bravery of its soldiers. Of course, soldiers can hold a religious view that assists them in bearing the hardships associated with war (the Imperial Japanese Forces of WWII is often cited as an example – the “Kamikaze” for instance) – but the Soviet Red Amy possessed NO official religion during WWII – and yet its soldiers prevailed over the ruthless material science fielded by Nazi Germany – and the religiosity of the Japanese. America can be defeated but this is usually on the political level – as resistance to war amongst the voters becomes greater than the will to pursue the war.

Enlisted Soldiers and Officers of the Soviet Red Army - Afghanistan (1979-1989)

Email: Can Iran Win the War with the US & Israel? (26.3.2026)

The former Red Army was under-funded and banned from teaching Marxist-Leninist lessons to its soldiers (this still went on behind the scenes). Furthermore, the Red Army Grave Detachment was abolished in the new capitalist Russia so that the bodies of dead Russian soldiers killed-murdered in Chechnya (many beheaded as POWs) were left neatly lined-up along the main road (in and out of Chechnya) so that their families could drive their vehicles up and down the road looking for their relatives – many of which lacked heads and limbs. Those bodies left too long were eaten by dogs. I know this because I knew men who had served in the Red Army and lived through the transition from Socialism to capitalism – and it was a terrible time for Russians and former Soviet citizens. Around 10 million people – between 1991-2000 and the dismantling of the Socialist infrastructure – died of starvation whilst the US pumped fascism and Christian missionaries into the post-Soviet space.

UN General Assembly

UN [that Condemned Iran for Defending Itself] – Declares Trans-Atlanctic Slavery “Greatest Crime”! (26.3.2026)

The US representative, Dan Negrea, claimed that the resolution was “highly problematic in countless respects”, the UN News agency reported.

The US government stressed that it “does not recognize a legal right to reparations for historical wrongs that were not illegal under international law at the time they occurred”.

The representative of the European Union made the same argument on the floor of the UN.

The EU criticized the resolution for implying “suggestions of a retroactive application of international rules which was non-existent at the time and claims for reparations, which is incompatible with established principles of international law”.

“References to claims for reparations also lack a sound legal basis”, the EU argued, stressing that the “principle of non-retroactivity, a fundamental cornerstone of the international legal order, must be strictly upheld”.

The UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office said the same, in a statement explaining its decision to abstain.

The British representative argued that there is “no duty to provide reparation for historical acts that were not, at the time those acts were committed, violations of international law”.

The UK insisted “that the prohibitions on slavery, the slave trade, and what are now considered crimes against humanity had not yet been established in international law at the time of the transatlantic slave trade”.

No Religion Can Prevent Physical Death!

UK: Opposing the Spread of Religion Through a “Violence” Disguised as “Self-Defence”! (24.3.26)

Quite often a religion takes on the prevailing manifestation of the society it inhabits – this explains the totalitarian nature of the Christian Church (and the monastery) which is premised upon a hierarchical feudal society administered by an absolute monarch. Zulu religion reflected the warrior culture that Shaka Zulu created (premised upon past tribal conventions with new innovations). Tribes in the Amazon possess religious beliefs that reflect the forest, etc. Religion is reactionary and can only orientate itself existentially – promising the adherent that some type of ethereal “escape” is possible (a claim that is never proven). It is fascinating that the religionists compound their illogicality by assuming that monotheism is an improvement upon polytheism. Really? At least if a tree is worshipped – the tree actually exists and is a material object existing in the physical world. Of course, religions can be studied and understood (as a type of history) – but such a researcher must not fall into the mire of religiosity. Such a researcher must not get high on his own supply – or get caught sipping his own bar supplies. What I find interesting about Iranian ideology is that it talks about opposing capitalism – whilst practicing capitalism within its society. Capitalism has not be over-thrown in Iran – only moulded to fit an Islamicist theism. Where, then, is the “Revolution”? It would seem that this refers to rejecting the Western imperialism projected into Iran (by the West) – and replacing it (or re-establishing) Islam (which is the right of the Iranian people). But consider this, Iran has a pre-history of thousands of years that was not Islamic – but polytheistic. Indeed, it was this astonishing culture that ruled a huge empire – the soldiers of which fought the Spartans at Thermopylae. Iran possessed a great culture prior to the rise of Islam – but this is denied or portrayed as an “error” by the theology extracted from the Holy Qur’an. How can this attitude be logical or true?

Rakovsky - Trotsky's Japanese Spy - Grover Furr

Grover Furr: How Trotsky Worked with British Intelligence Pre-WWII! (22.3.2026)

The Trotskyite militias were tasked with destroying the Soviet-backed “Internationalist Brigades” – and either take local power for themselves – or hand-over seized areas to the Franco forces. On the odd occasion that a genuine Anarchist detachment took a place and declared “freedom” – they would soon be rolled-over and executed by Franco’s forces. The above chapter of Grover Furr’s new book covers how Leon Trotsky was in the employment of British Intelligence during the 1920s and 1930s – including the time he founded the so-called “Fourth International” (1938) – calling upon all his followers outside of the USSR to join with the Catholic Church (and any fascist nation – including Imperial Japan) in an attack upon the USSR. He also called upon all his followers still living within the USSR to carry-out terrorist attacks upon the infrastructure of the USSR – in an effort to weaken the Soviet State from within. Later, In 1948, the incumbent Labour government requested that George Orwell compile a list of all British leftists he considered to be either a “Communist” – or “sympathetic” to the Communist Movement. Such was the treachery of George Orwell – and explains why British school children are still inoculated against Socialism due to the study of his awful books.

Archaeologists made the discovery underneath layers of peat on Honeygar Farm in Westhay

UK: Neolithic “Trackway” Discovered by Archaeologists in Honeygar Farm [Somerset]! (22.3.2026)

Britain used to be full of marshes through which the Celts built trackways to travel about – probably between the various tribes. Presumably, these marshes ran through (and around) forests – as the UK used to be covered in dense foliage. Therefore, the Celts did build their own type of natural pathways – but these were “natural” and very different to the roads constructed by the Roman engineers – which seemed “severe” and “unnatural” by comparison. Furthermore, the Romans destroyed the traditional landscape that Druidism and Celtic culture developed and grew within. The Romans cleared the forests and drained the marshes – thus destroying the very essence of the British Celt culture that had existed for thousands of years. The Romans committed genocide, forcibly established their culture – and then left. Part of this Roman domination was that the Celts were “primitive” and possessed no culture of their own. A policy straight out of the imperialist play-book.
