Empowered Disability in Russia!

Russia: “On Wings” [На крыльях] – Disability Rights & Inclusion in the Fashion Industry! (20.2.2025)

Whilst Neo-Nazi Ukraine purges its disabled population through its Western-funded war in Donbass – (anti-fascist) Russia continues to develop moral principles of “inclusion” that were operating in the USSR. Of course, people can be born disabled, develop a disability (through illness or injury) during their lifetime, which includes wounds suffered during wartime (particularly during the recent anti-fascist war in East Ukraine). My British grandfathers (and my Chinese relatives in Hong Kong) all fought during WWII against Nazism and fascism as allies of the Soviet Union – and I will never accept or tolerate fascism of any kind – which includes Russophobia. Events such as the above should shame the West!

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.

When Radios Were Real!

UK: “Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now!” Especially For Gee (from the Kids) – Remembering Spectrum Radio! (1.2.2025)

In the old days there was a thing called “Spectrum Radio” (I think on AM) that used to separate the 24-hour cycle into 24 different hours broadcasting music in languages different to English. I believe “Cantonese” (kind of our local Hong Kong language – despite being Hakka with a distinct language of our own) – was broadcast in the evening between 6pm – 7pm. In the early 1990s, I used to teach ethnic Chinese children English in the Sutton area. In the evening, our local Chinese community was much larger then than now – and we used to visit one another for dinner and a cup of tea. On occasion, and long before we were married, me and Gee used to listen to Spectrum Radio together – listening to contemporary (English) tracks rendered into Cantonese. Gee remembers “My Heart Will Go On” (Celine Dion) – the theme from the hit Movie “Titanic” – sang in Cantonese! Our children – Mei-An and Kai-Lin – have designed a post on this blog around our memories!

Emails: Infiltrating the US Far-Right! (4.1.2025)

What I do see is how the US White Supremacy movement has spread to the UK, Western and Eastern Europe – and has redefined what racism actually is. Although Hitler’s “Mein Kampf” is the bible of the far-right – which advises the racially pure to “lie, lie, and lie again” to secure power – in no way did Hitler believe all White people were “Aryan” or “racially” pure! Take the Polish as an example. Catholic Poland became a Fascist State in 1930 and there was widespread celebrations on the Polish streets when Hitler came to power in 1933. Goebbels had a State visit in early 1934 where he discussed the “Russian” problem and this led to the Poles opening the first modern Concentration Camp at Bereza in East Poland in late 1934 (formerly a part of West Russia – invaded by the Poles in 1920).

Seven Anti-China criminals

Hong Kong: Revised List of Seven Anti-China “Criminals” Issued! (26.12.2024)

Chris Tang Ping-Keung, secretary for security of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region government, on Tuesday, exercised the powers conferred by the Safeguarding National Security Ordinance to specify seven absconders and the measures to be applied against them by notices published in the gazette.

The seven relevant absconders are Hui Chi-fung, Kwok Fung-yee, Yuan Gong-yi, Kwok Wing-hang, Yam Kevin, Hui Wing-ting and Siu Joey.

The Hong Kong police force also put six other individuals on the wanted list on suspicion of violating the national security law in Hong Kong.

The law enforcement actions by the Hong Kong police force are based on the Hong Kong national security law and Safeguarding National Security Ordinance, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning told a daily news briefing.

The acts uphold the rule of law and respond to public opinion in Hong Kong, she said.

Nanjing Massacre Remembered!

China Will Never Be Crushed – Nanjing Massacre Victims Remembered! (14.12.2024)

“Ringing the Bell of Peace is not only a review of history, but also an expectation for the future. I deeply feel that only by remembering history can we cherish the present peace and the happy life. As an athlete, I will uphold the Olympic spirit of peace going forward and inspire more youth to contribute more to the aspiration of a powerful nation,” she said.

“The resounding peal reminds all generations to etch this once unimaginable period into memories,” said another bell striker Zhang Hongcheng, former president of Yangzhou University’s Research Institute of Rice Industrial Engineering Technology, adding that we must unite to achieve Chinese-style modernization, and educators should nurture more top talent to create world-leading innovations.

A candlelight assembly was also held to mourn the deceased and pray for peace.

In 2014, China’s top legislature designated Dec 13 as the national memorial day for Nanjing Massacre victims to promote peace and oppose the denial of history.
