New Scientist: It’s As Funny as Reservoir Dogs! (16.4.2023)

And then there are all the atomic ‘test’ explosions initiated by the US after WWII (which included exposing US Serviceman to nuclear poisoning) – and the numerous atomic ‘accidents’ that happened in the US throughout the Cold War (which the US government does not want you to know about or discuss)! The genetic damage inflicted upon the environment (and everything in it) is ongoing and forever expanding! This compendium of US (capitalist) disaster is compounded by the fact that American nuclear weapons have gone ‘missing’ and which includes countries such as Apartheid South Africa and Zionist Israel defying the International community and test-exploding nuclear weapons!

Philippines: Why the Vatican Ordered Attacks on The Beatles! (7.4.2023) 

In many ways this story of The Beatles exemplifies the era (and contradictions) inherent in the 1960s! There were definitely Revolutionary (dialectical) forces in operation not just in the West – but throughout the world! Paul McCartney would pen a song entitled ‘Back in the USSR’ (about a Cold War Soviet spy returning from service in the US – where he understood just how ‘bad’ life is for the average person living under capitalism) and John Lennon would write a song entitled ‘Revolution’ – and record at least 18 versions of it within which he ‘might’ or ‘might not’ support a violent ‘Revolution’ depending upon how he felt on the day!

DPRK: Does the NATO Secretary-General’s Actions Encourage the Creation of an “Asian version of NATO”? (4.4.2023)

It is clear that the DPRK will firmly reject and resist this passive support for US expansion into our region. It is only a matter of time before the military equipment supplied to NATO by South Korea and Japan will start flowing onto the battlefields of Ukraine. South Korea and Japan, which are trying to attract uninvited guests to the region to see what is on sale, should know that far from resolving security anxiety, they are getting closer to an extreme security crisis.

There is nothing good about NATO, a byword for war and confrontation, of putting military boots into the region. The NATO Secretary-General’s actions in South Korea and Japan are a confrontational action and a prelude to a war that brings the toxic cloud of a new “Cold War” to the Asia-Pacific region! Regional countries and the international community should raise their awareness as much as possible about NATO’s increasing steps towards the Asia-Pacific!

DPRK: Russia Confirms North Korea is a Major Military Power! (2.3.2023)

In spite of the fact that North Korea has been under sanctions for a long time, unprecedented achievements have been made in the industrial and scientific fields of this “Socialist” country. It can be seen that the defence industry of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea has independently developed in this respect (both theoretically and practically) a mobile intercontinental ballistic missile system capable of striking the Mainland United States and its satellites! Recalling that, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea possesses new types of nuclear weapons carriers – including Russia’s “Status-6 Missile System” (an unmanned diving vehicle named “Poseidon”) and similar systems.

The ‘Budokan’ and Doing ‘A Beatles’! (29.3.2023) 

John Lennon had been to Japan with the Beatles about five months before he met Yoko Ono in New York. The Beatles made their first visit to Asia at the end of June 1966. They played two televised Concerts at the ‘Budokan’ on June 30th and July 1st, 1966. This is actually the ‘Nippon Budokan’ (日本武道館) located in the heart of Tokyo. The name means ‘Japan Martial Arts Training Hall’ and this venue was built and opened in 1964. Although Japan was still officially ‘Occupied’ by the US Military until 1972 (following Japan’s Unconditional Surrender during late 1945) – the Americans tolerated a certain level of right-wing Japanese ultra-nationalism amongst the population – providing it was contained to being aimed at Communist China. Yoko Ono’s family is said to have been supportive of this ‘racist’ ultra-nationalism – which she rebelled against by having relationships (and children) with ‘White’ men. At one point, Yoko Ono even allowed her husband to have an 18-month affair with his ethnic ‘Chinese’ secretary – the American-born May-Pang (龐鳳儀 – Pang Feng Yi).

The Beatles – A Work in Perpetual Progress! (29.3.2023) 

Despite the UK in many ways appearing to be a Soviet State between 1948-1979 – it still functioned within a Bourgeois, capitalist (liberal democratic) system. Since 1979, the onus has been upon dismantling this Socialist edifice and re-instating the pre-1948 status quo where workers do as they are told for as little money as possible. This has to understood if the stage-managing of The Beatles is to be understood. The Beatles existed as a means for the four members and the plethora of individuals surrounding and enabling them (including the ‘Roadie’ Mal Evans) were to make a comfortable living. Behind all these people was the monolith of EMI – so if The Beatles were already millionaires by 1964 (and there are good reasons to assume this) – the reader can speculate just how much profit their ‘look’ and ‘sound’ bought the publishing company! As a winning combination has been arrived at more or less by trial and error – the thinking was that none of it should be changed for fear of spoiling the earning potential. The music of The Beatles is so dialectically stimulating that it means many things to all people. This led to John Lennon expressing in a (reactionary) 1968 interview with British students that he had as many ‘fascists’ as ‘Socialist’ fans – he said this after berating the USSR and the idea of external (revolutionary) change. He seems to be expressing EMI advertising policy rather than any innate knowledge of Marxist-Leninism. Cackling in the shadows was Yoko Ono who never got round to addressing the subject of her anti-Western family supporting ultra-right-wing political views in Japan – or the War Crimes the Imperial Japanese Army had committed during the 1930s and 1940s throughout Asia (and against British POWs). She remains ‘anti-Chinese’ to this day.
