The Beatles: What John Lennon Never Quite Managed to ‘Imagine’! (17.4.2023) 

The difference is that whereas Marx and Engels stood by the message inherent within their Revolutionary work – The Beatles steadfastly ‘stood apart’ from the Revolutionary message that is at the heart of their music! The capitalist system brought them off – but that is the nature of the music business and the entire point of all its machinations! The music industry generates very good capitalists but generally very poor Revolutionaries! It is as if the music itself, that is the collaborative effort, transcended the individuality of the four men who comprised The Beatles – and the general (limiting) attitudes of EMI! The interesting point is that The Beatles music remains dialectically forceful despite Paul McCartney’s Knighthood and all the other nonsense the Bourgeois State has draped around the historical image of The Beatles! Whether The Beatles like it or not, the music they produced in search of profit possesses a quality that ‘pierces’ through the very same ‘search for profit’! The music is itself a form of Revolutionary ‘force’ that John Lennon never quite managed to comprehend. Imagine that!

The Progressive Nature of the Trans Movement! (11.4.2023) 

The intellectual and personality offensives are just two components successfully deployed by these ‘New’ Red Army Shock Troops! On other Fronts these soldiers for humanity are paying the ultimate price with their minds and bodies as the forces of reaction take their sanity, their health and their very lives! Many so-called Communist Parties throughout the world should be ashamed of themselves for failing to acknowledge the vitally important spiritual, physical and cultural force that the Trans Movement represents! Whilst a capitalist Russia fights Neo-Nazism in the Ukraine – its leaders and Church perpetuates the most hideous homophobia and transphobic attitudes – certainly matching those of the Hitlerites occupying the opposite trenches! And then on occasion I see our Palestinian (Islamic) Comrades routinely expressing homophobic attitudes! These are the contradictions we all have to exist within! I would still stand with Russia and Palestine – but my family also stands firmly with ALL members of the Trans Movement and the 2SLBGTQN+ Community because ‘I’ – ‘We’ believe in ‘their’ – ‘our’ collective destiny!

PLA Eastern Theatre Command: Self-Defence Military Exercises Launched Around Taiwan Region! (8.4.2023)

The patrol and exercises take place in the maritime areas and airspace of the Taiwan Strait, off the northern and southern coasts of the island, and to the island’s east, said Shi Yi, a spokesperson for the command.

These operations serve as a stern warning against the collusion between separatist forces seeking “Taiwan independence” and external forces and against their provocative activities, said Shi, adding that the operations are necessary for safeguarding China’s national sovereignty and territorial integrity.

China: Japanese Tourist Asks for ‘Directions’ in Nanjing! (8.2.2023)

By and large, this Japanese tourist is treated with respect and consideration from the average Chinese person – many (if not all) local to the Nanjing area. The young woman concerned speaks in very good Putonghua – if a little slower than normal. The full video can be seen by clicking the link above – but I include a short clip of two elderly Chinese men – both of whom lived through the Nanjing Massacre as young childrem. One explains that her Japanese ancestors carried-out a terrible act – but that it is good that she possesses the moral courage to pay her respect to the ‘Chinese’ victims of her ‘Japanese’ ancestors!

Racist ‘CNN’ Claims ‘Vietnamese’ Mass Shooter from ‘China’! (24.1.2023)

White (Eurocentric) racism is not a ‘clever’ ideology at the best of times – but the sheer stupidity of US anti-intellectualism is the gift that just keeps on giving! The Catholic (Jesuit) Priests – via the agency of French imperialism and colonialism – systematically destroyed the use of Chinese ideograms during their 400-year (ruthless) occupation of Vietnam! Chinese ideograms were eventually replaced with the French version of the Roman-derived alphabet and this is why Vietnamese people today cannot read or write the Chinese script and communicate using only Western words and letters when writing! The transliteration of Vietnamese terms into the Western alphabet was decided by (White) Jesuit Priests who approximated ‘sounds’ and where it took their fancy – completely altered meaning and nuance, etc. Indeed, the destruction of the Chinese traditional script in Vietnam is an example of one of the most effective imperialist offensives in history! The (White) French imperialists destroyed a complete writing system as part of the process of psychologically and physically making it easier to subjugate an entire (non-White) ethnicity!

Email: Mr Huu Can Tran – Innocent Until Proven Guilty! (23.1.2023)

OK – so this is a Chinese-language comment left on one of the articles concerning Mr Huu Can Tran (innocent until proven guilty) which reads:

‘一个人走过海旁，看见另一个人想跳海自杀。 他走上前去劝说「先生，不要跳下去！」 那人问道：「为什么？」 他说：「生命是美好的嘛！你是无神论者还是有宗教信仰？」 那人答：「我有宗教信仰。」 「佛教、道教、回教还是基督教？」 「基督教」 「罗马天主教还是新教？」 「新教」 「我也是新教呢！圣公会还是浸信会？」 「浸信会」 「太好啦！我也是浸信会，你是Baptist Church of God还是Baptist Church of the Lord? 」 「Baptist Church of God. 」 「真是太奇妙啦！我也是，那你是原教旨的Baptist Church of God还是改革派的？ 「改革派的」 「1879年的改革派还是1915年的？」 「1915年的改革派。」 那人朝他屁股一脚把他伸进海里：「异端！去死吧！」’
