Proletariat Blogging in the Heart of (UK) Predatory Capitalism! Exploring the Interface between Matter and Perception, Chinese Buddhism, Daoism, Hakka Ethnography, and All Aspects of Radical Politics, History, Psychology and Philosophy – 全世界无产者联合起来!
What he has achieved here is astonishing as an art form and virtually everyone is interpreting the meaning either wrong or in a one-sided manner. I find it astonishing and this has nothing to do with the pettiness of agreeing or disagreeing. Of course, there is nothing for the Black man in Zionism or Nazism – so whatever Kanye West is really doing – it cannot be aligning himself with Zionism or fascism.
This ruling effectively “cancelled” the 2025 event – just as a mass pull-out by pro-Palestinian artists was building publicity on the internet. This matters as the artists themselves refer to the ongoing “Palestinian Genocide” in Gaza perpetuated by the Zionist Israeli regime. This is an ongoing massacre of the innocent permitted by all Western governments. From a legal point of view, it is astonishing that a Judge would contradict a Council – and thereby permit a group of civilians prevails in an act of will-power over local policy. The British system just does not function in this manner. Normally, only the rich and the well-connected who work with the system – can get anywhere with regards to influencing local Council policy. What we are seeing here is the system working against itself – but for whom? Of course, to suggest that this is a damage limitation exercise designed to assist Israel continue its Genocide in Gaza – will be presented as a “conspiracy theory”. It’s funny just how intricate and well-timed these “conspiracy theories” are becoming!
I also remember a “93” double-decker bus in Dartmouth. Why? well, in Sutton – where we live – the “93” TFL bus begins in Priory Road (travelling to Putney Bridge) – we used to live in Priory Road from 1998-2004. We now live one or two streets away – but still near this bus route. This bus travels via Wimbledon Common – near to where the Buddhapadipa Buddhist Temple is located. Believe it or not – there is a Buddhist Temple near Honiton in Devon (Upottery) – the Hartridge Buddhist Monastery. We have visited this place many years ago – and might well visit again sometime soon.
Of course, Ringo Starr was temporarily replaced (when ill) whilst The Beatles were on tour – so obviously he wasn’t irreplaceable. Perhaps it just goes to show the greed and desperation that drives predatory capitalism. Still, once CD – and then streaming – developed, Pete Best’s substantial (foundational) contribution was finally recognised via a huge (and well-deserved) pay-out from The Beatles millions – or should I say billions! You can now listen to Pete Best’s drumming as part of The Beatles’ legitimate historical development. Pete Best demonstrated remarkable character having to live through the unbelievable success of the group he helped form – having to watch from the side-line – as the world went made! Still, Pete Best eventually received his financial reward when The Beatles Anthology was released 1995.
A Russian Court sentenced British mercenary – James Scott Reece Anderson – captured in the Kursk region fighting for Neo-Nazi Ukraine, to 19 years in prison — according to the Investigative Committee.
Anderson will spend the first 5 years in an ordinary Prison – the rest of his sentence (14 years) – in a Maximum Security Penal Colony. Anderson will be sharing a cell with hardened (Russian) criminals.
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!
