Sutton Cemetery - Qingming 2025!

UK: Qingming (清明) [2025] – “Sweeping & Cleaning the Grave” of the Chinese Ancestors! (5.4.2025)

At both times of the year the graves are repaired and made new – whilst one or two of the favourite things are provided – such as a glass of brandy and a cigarette. Some Chinese families – although not ours – make paper clothing which is burnt at the graveside in Autumn – alongside “Spirit Money” – or pretend banknotes, etc. Others take real food which is placed on a table in hygienic containers – offered as an oblation – and consumed later. Our two daughters used clothes and cleaning sprays to remove the dirt and shine the stone exterior of the graves. The bright flowers are then cut to fit into the holders. We often bring a flag of China and Buddhist pictures and statues. Today, I also carried a Ch’an Dao Martial Arts Association badge and a pair of Nunchaku. We lit six incense-sticks – three for each grave – and bowed-down three-tips (clapping the hands three-times). We have been performing these rituals since the early 1990s in the UK.

Mass Grief for Stalin!

USSR: Stalin’s [1953] Funeral – Greatest of the 20th Century – and the Resulting Stampede! (27.2.2025)

Since the recent détente of the US and modern Russia – the Russian-language Yandex search-engine has once again become easily available via the Western internet. Since I last regularly accessed the “deep” Russian internet – I have noticed that whereas there was about a 50%-50% distribution of pro and anti Stalin articles – a new narrative has been ordered which portrays Stalin as a mass killer who also achieved one or two great achievements for the Russian people (the new orientation is roughly 25& pro and 75% anti). This is a Western (capitalist), reactionary, Trotskyite, and entirely fascist attitude. Furthermore, it is pseudo-history. Joseph Stalin was working-class (most old Bolsheviks were middle-class) and was Georgian – not Russian (Stalin rejected all forms of nationalism – including Russian). The Soviet Union was a collective of around 15 or 16 countries (depending on era) that acted in Socialist collaboration. The history of the Soviet Union is not the history of Russia – even if Russia was the socio-economic driving force. The point of the 1917 Revolution was a new era in human evolution – a step forward and away from feudalism and capitalism.

Mao Zedong's "Long March 1"!

China: How Mao Zedong’s Nuclear Submarine – “Long March 1” – Shocked the World! (7.2.2025)

Huang Xuhua, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, recipient of the Medal of the Republic, and chief designer of China’s first-generation nuclear submarines, passed away at the age of 99 on Thursday in Wuhan, Central China’s Hubei Province.

Known as the “father of China’s nuclear submarines,” Huang had dedicated his whole life to the development and advancement of China’s nuclear submarine programme.

The Great Paul Robeson Sr - Socialist!

Grover Furr: Paul Robeson’s Meeting with Itzik Fefer, June 1949! (5.1.2025)

The adoption of (fascist) Zionism by the “White” Settler Jews changed this perspective as Golda Mayer (Israel’s first Ambassador to the USSR) attempted to have Soviet Jews (law abiding citizens of the USSR) rise-up and forcibly take possession of large swathes of Soviet territory – referring to this land as “Greater Israel”! There was no reason for this other than Jewish “White Supremacy”. Of course, as we must continuously cover our backs when making such assertions, the 1975 UN Resolution (now often hidden or disguised) confirmed that Zionism is a form of “White Supremacy” developed by secular Jews in late 1880s Germany! If booing from the gallery persists – I tend to direct the curious to my Jewish friends at the “International Jewish Anti-Zionist Network”. The delusion associated with theistic religion is the problem – not Joseph Stalin or the USSR. I say this as an academic expert in the study of World Religion. When an anti-modern and anti-science (inverted) belief system is entwined with racism – humanity has a massive problem on its hands. I say exactly the same about any narrow-minded religion be it Buddhist (my own), Daoism, Confucianism, Islam, Hinduism, Sikhism, or any belief system which advocates hatred instead of progression.

Daleks Were Based On the Nazi German SS!

UK: Doctor Who, Billy Lipton, and Social Engineering! (29.12.2024)

Of course, those that run the BBC are behind this nonsense and deformation. My point is that the Doctor is the essence of toleration. We do not need to see everything he is “tolerating” being paraded (as if on a conveyor-belt) in every episode – as Doctor Who is first and foremost an “escape” from reality! It should not be a reflection of reality or a confirmation of reality. If this neutral position is msintained as a foundation – then every type of realty (not just one preferred reality) can be shown on the screen at different times in such a manner that does not illicit a moral resistance from the audience. As the situation stands, Doctor Who has become a ghetto for one type of existence – and this seems designed to kill-off the series on the BBC insulting the British people to oblivion. This is the same BBC that has supported Neo-Nazi Ukaine from 2014 – and is currently ignoring the Israeli “Genocide” that is unfolding in Gaza! The current incarnation of the BBC possesses NO moral foundation – so how can we trust it to produce a morally wholsesome Doctor Who?

Chinese Dead Return to Motherland!

China: Remains of 43 “Korean War” Chinese Martyrs Returned to Homeland! (29.11.2024)

The ceremony was also livestreamed online. Among the viewers were faculty and students of a primary school in Shenyang, which was named after CPV martyr Mao Anying, the son of late Chinese chairman Mao Zedong. In memory of the martyrs, the students had selected personal gifts to take to the martyr’s cemetery at a later date.

“My gift is a scarf,” said a girl. “The soldiers braved severe cold and fought in extremely difficult situations. So I hope that it could protect our CPV soldiers from the cold wind.”

Another girl cooked noodles with her mom before school that morning. In north China, it is customary to welcome guests with noodles. “These noodles taste of home,” she said. “The martyrs have returned home.”

A third child brought a model plane. “My dad is a soldier and I grew up listening to his stories about the Korean War. I brought this model so our CPV soldiers can see how strong our motherland is now.”
