Ningxia: China’s Disabled People Strive to Achieve Self-Reliance! (5.11.2023)

The disabled community in Ningxia has garnered significant social attention for its impressive achievements in sports. During the recently concluded 4th Asian Para Games held in Hangzhou, athletes from Ningxia achieved notable success.

Ma Juan, a student from Xiji County in Ningxia, is a gifted painter who has received government financial assistance to attend an art school. All her family members are disabled due to a genetic disease.

The Politics of ‘Privilege’ – Saving White, Middle-Class Women from Russell Brand! (20.9.2023)

Well, perhaps Russell Brand can help us to understand this grave injustice through the agencies of alienation, the accumulation of unbridled (and ‘non-talented’) wealth and the limitless indulgence of media-supported sexual decadence! Alternatively, his father – ‘Dan’ – can help by taking this opportunity to remind us that the UK is over-run by migrants (?) and that beautiful Mother Russia (my words – not his) is currently killing tens of thousands of Ukrainians (his word – not mine) ‘Neo-Nazis’ (finally – just my words)! With such campaign advice emanating from Tavistock Wood – Russell Brand’s former Talent Agency – what could possibly go wrong?

Cuba: Harry Belafonte & Paul Robeson! (26.7.2023)

These ‘Pseudo-Americans’ are then contributing to the further destruction of the great and noble history of the Marxist-Leninist ‘Left’ – adhering to the US dictate that this challenge to capitalist hegemony NEVER existed and must NEVER be allowed to exist again! Genuine Leftist historians and commentators (not including the devious and despicable ‘Trotskyites’ who are very much part of the problem) are thin upon the ground! We must fight an orderly retreat – pausing to fire a well-aimed volley into the ranks of the capitalists and the fascists as they continue their advance toward our lines! This ‘fire’ must comprise of ‘nuggets’ of indisputable ‘history’ that proves ‘we were here’ and ‘we are STILL here!’ – such as the excellent article written above! If Cuba can stand strong in the face of US aggression – so can the rest of humanity! LONG LIVE SOCIALIST CUBA!

Virtually Attending a GG Allin Concert (1991)! (27.4.2023) 

Perhaps underrated and virtually forgotten (as GG Allin rolls around on broken glass, sh’t, vomit and his own blood – whilst ‘shouting’ incoherently into a mic) is the staying power of his backing group! They soldier on playing the drums and guitar – whilst stagehands keep an eye on the violence by regulating its intensity – ensuring GG Allin is not overwhelmed by multiple opponents or beaten too far into unconsciousness (as there is a show to perform)! GG Allin certainly seems to take a good shot and always comes back for more whilst serenely detached from the events he is the centre and has unleashed. Occasionally, the drummer has to stand the cymbal back up or realign the bass drum with the snare, etc, sometimes continuing to bang away with a single drumstick whilst these adjustments are made, and prostrate bodies cleared away from the working area! The guitarist seems to think he’s in ‘Nirvana’ with the manner of his dress and his indifference to the madness that is unfolding around him! Every so often he fires a well-aimed kick at the body (or head) of an unsuspecting audience member who has just fallen over his own legs – or some part of GG Allin’s anatomy! All Grist for the mill.
