UK: My “Grover Furr” [Soviet History] Collection to Date! (23.2.2025)

Be that as it may, I have learned from scholars such as EH Carr, Alexander Werth, and Grover Furr what the facts are about the history and purpose of the Soviet Union. Just as the lies are complex and involved – the scholarship that exposes the lies is diverse and engaging. Everything must be correctly re-examined, deconstructed, and re-constructed back into its proper context. These eleven Grover Furr titles are a work in progress. Think for yourself and never stop learning.

Laos Dedicated to Socialism!

Laos: 70 Years Under the Leadership of the Lao People’s Revolutionary Party! (23.2.2025)

Mr. Sayadeth Phouyavong further emphasized: “To continue the mission of safeguarding and developing the nation, as well as leading the Lao people along the path to socialism, we must unite in the face of current economic and financial challenges. Party members, civil servants, the armed forces, and the multi-ethnic people of Laos must continue to support and trust the Party’s clear-sighted leadership. We must enhance our proactive role in implementing the two national agendas, particularly Resolution 04 of the Party Central Committee, which focuses on building an independent and self-reliant economy in the new era. Our goal is to strengthen the people’s democratic state, ensuring the people’s prosperity and happiness, and building a just and prosperous society.”

Confederate Artillary

CSA: The Bravery of John Pelham’s “Creole” Cannoniers at the [1862] Battle of Fredericksburg! (17.2.2025)

Despite using good terrain to the maximum advantage, Pelham’s single cannon was still far in advance of the Confederate frontline. Firing at the Union flank meant each cannon-ball smashed through multiple ranks of soldiers – hitting side-on. It was a dangerous gamble – but one which paid-off because Pelham was a competent Officer and his “Creole” crew superb when under fire. A Union Pennsylvanian Infantry Regiment started to take ridiculous numbers of casualties as Pelham’s cannon balls smashed there way through life and limb. However, Pelham only managed to fire three rounds before Union return fire stated coming in. At one-point, as Union rounds were landing, the Louisiana “Creole” crew began to sing the French “La Marseillaise” in defiance. Within minutes, hundreds of Union cannons, both near and far, were returning fire into the general direction, even though the lay of the land often prevented a clear line of sight. The reality was that the Union forces only had to land just one well-placed shot to destroy the single Confederate cannon and neutralise most of its crew. Pelham had chosen his position so well that despite the weight of return fire – the Union artillery found it very difficult to score a direct hit.

Adrian & Gee Valentine Cards! (15.2.2025)

Until this year, I was completely unaware that February 7th is “Rose Day” in the UK! This falls just before St Valentine’s Day (Fedrusty 14th). I think many people conflate these two rituals as roses are often given on the 14th. I suspect there is an involved explanation for all this – perhaps pre-Christian (Pagan) verses Christian, etc. Whatever the case, Shakespeare seems to have known both these dates. Both dates are designed to renew assertions of love and affection between men and women.

History of Roman Occupation!

UK: Early Roman “Basilica” Found in London! (13.2.2025)

The site was discovered at 85 Gracechurch Street, an office building that’s about to be demolished and redeveloped.

Earlier archaeological investigations revealed the ancient basilica’s approximate location, so the team created several small test pits to see what was hidden beneath the concrete floor.

On the third attempt, digging between the filing cabinets, they struck lucky.

“You can see a huge chunk of Roman masonry, and it’s incredible that it survives this well. We’re absolutely thrilled that there’s so much of it here,” said Sophie Jackson.

A Tale of Two Cities – Extracting Meaning from History! (12.2.2025)

The Americans would have the world believe that two atomic bombs were required to be dropped on a non-White people to end WWII. The Soviet Red Army defeated Nazi Germany (and its allies) – and then entered North-East China to destroy the Imperial Japanese Kwantung Army – that had caused so much suffering to the Chinese people. Imperial Japan was finished – but the US wanted to “test” their new terror-weapon on the minds and bodies of a distant non-White population (just as they test their weapons today on Palestinians). This was at a time when what was left of Hitler’s forces was much more of a threat in Europe. The Americans were reluctant about testing this new terror-weapon on “White” Europeans – even Nazi Germans. Simultaneously, whilst Soviet Red Army soldiers were fighting and dying for US freedom – the US military (alongside Winston Churchill) was planning an allied attack on the USSR. Even with the atomic bomb it was thought that the Soviet Red Army might still prevail – so these insane plans were shelved – but its underlying thinking led to the US-derived “Cold War” – with only the level-headed thinking of Joseph Stalin preventing WWIII.
