Sutton: The Cat That Rap Built! (5.12.2023)

Black Power was still “Revolutionary” at this time – but after 2001 many performers switched their style to eulogising the very capitalism that had a) historically enslaved their ancestors, and b) continuously generates race-prejudice against their people – from one generation to the next! Today, Black-Americans are tempted to merely settle for a slice of the capitalist pie – where they can “buy” a relative sense of security by living in (exclusive) gated communities (usually with White people) protected by “Private” Security posing as Police Officers!

Palestine: Day of Solidarity Meeting in Ain al-Hilweh – and Inspiring PFLP Resistance Speech! (3.12.2023)

He stressed that the victory achieved by the Palestinian Resistance on October 7th (2023) is a great political and military achievement, and that the Palestinian people, through their legendary steadfastness, gained the respect of the peoples of the world who took to the streets in their millions, rejecting the Zionist aggression, and affirming the right of the Palestinian people to pursue freedom and to Resist the Zionist Occupation.

Solid Investigation Exposes Western Fabrication of “Forced Labour” Fallacy! (21.10.2023)

Some biased Western media sources promoted the spread of the “forced labour” accusation by employing several tactics, including “criminalizing” the Chinese government, demonizing China’s poverty alleviation policies, stigmatizing assistance measures for transfer employment, distorting service work for labour transfer employment, and attacking China by citing misleading and tendentious claims, according to the article.

Tuersun Aibai also found that when hyping up the “forced labour” smear, a considerable number of the Xinjiang-related stories cited anti-China politicians and scholars to support their narratives, while lacking field research and in the absence of first-hand information.

“Their stories and quotes, without investigating the actual situation on the ground in Xinjiang, lack verifiability,” the expert wrote.

Kent: Chislehurst Caves! (7.10.2023)

As something of a hobby that its becoming ever more prominent and important as I get older – I have penned an article about the local Home Guard Unit (the 54th Kent Battalion) which operated in the area – that will be published shortly on a dedicated historical website. This Home Guard Unit had the unexpected duty of ‘Policing’ the exterior of the caves and ensuring that law and order was maintained by the thousands of evacuees who turned-up. There was also the issue of ensuring that there was no trouble between the locals and the newly arrived – as Britain is rife with regional conflicts! A positive gained from this influx meant that there was plenty of men and women available to join and assist the Home Guard – making this area one of the best manned of the Civil Defence Authorities! Remember – the Home Guard was premised upon Socialist principles!
