China: Socialist Manned Lunar-Landing Set for 2030! (8.8.2025)

08/08/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

The lunar lander, named Lanyue, which means embracing the moon, consists of both a landing module and a propulsion module. It is a newly developed spacecraft designed to support crewed missions to and from the moon.

It will be used to transport two cosmonauts between the lunar orbit and the lunar surface — and will carry a lunar rover and other scientific payloads. After landing, the lander will serve as a life-support centre, an energy centre and a data centre, offering assistance and serving as a base for the cosmonauts’ stay and activities on the moon’s surface.

Noting that the test was complex with a long cycle and technical challenges, the space agency said the success represents a breakthrough in research and development in terms of China’s manned lunar exploration programme.

UK: Labour “Homelessness” Minister “Resigns” for “Mistreating” Her Own Renting Tenants! (8.8.2025)

The poor, Black, White, Brown, or Yellow – are all being treated with the same level of brutal oppression. No wonder the bourgeoisie hates the DPRK so much – it builds ultra-modern flats and houses – and then gives them out “free” to its own population. Although anyone can live in the DPRK, there is no mass immigration designed to serve the needs of predatory capitalism! As I have said before, voluntary “Internationalism” is not the same as enforced “Multiculturalism”. It is not Rushanara Ali’s ethnicity that is the cause of this (Islam rejects usury), but rather her class. The point is that non-White British people can easily make money by buying property and then renting it out to whomever they choose – thus bypassing the usual barriers of racism which keeps them “shut-out” of mainstream British society. There was a time when the Guardian would have reported on this using a vigorous left-leaning dialectic. Those days are long gone.

US: 60 Years Later, Voting Rights Act Protections for Minority Voters Face New Threats! (7.8.2025)

Contrary to decades of precedent, Republican state officials in at least 15 states contend that private individuals and groups do not have the right to sue to enforce Section 2 because they are not explicitly named in the landmark law’s text. Only the head of the Justice Department, they argue, can bring this kind of lawsuit.

The issue is at the heart of a North Dakota legislative redistricting case that was brought by two tribal nations. A federal appeals court ruled against the Native American voters, and the case may be up for a full review soon at the Supreme Court. The justices may also be preparing to take up a broader question about the constitutionality of Section 2 protections, based on an order last week for legal briefs in a Louisiana congressional redistricting case originally filed by Black voters.

UK: Court of Appeal Overturns Ruling Upholding Pre-Nuptial Agreement – Due to Wife’s ‘Fraudulent Non-Disclosure’! (3.8.2025)

The ruling marks a rare appellate intervention in the context of pre-nuptial agreements. Lady Justice King stressed that the court’s conclusion should not be seen as undermining Radmacher, nor as any shift in the law: “So long as there is no statutory scheme, Radmacher will continue to bind this court. […] Pre-nuptial agreements are about the autonomy of the parties to determine for themselves what should be the fair outcome in the event that their marriage fails.” However, the judge continued, where the parties themselves set out a disclosure regime in the agreement, any deliberate misrepresentation of that disclosure – particularly when induced by one party – is liable to vitiate the agreement. “[W]ilful or fraudulent breach of that agreement […] is entirely different from the position in Radmacher,” she concluded.

A new study by homelessness charity Crisis found that among older low-income earners, one in five feared homelessness in their retirement, and many say they cannot afford to stop working.

“A generation once thought to be safe from our housing crisis is now increasingly being swept up in it and at real risk of homelessness,” it concludes.

Francesca Albanese, executive director of policy and social change at Crisis, told Sky News: “Most people are thinking they will go into later life with savings and security, and actually the cost of housing alongside lower wages is meaning that for lots more people that just isn’t an option.”

Australia: Most Targets to Reduce “Indigenous Disadvantage” Not on Track! (31.7.2025)

It said that progress has gone backwards on another four targets relating to Indigenous imprisonment and suicide rates, childhood development and the number of Indigenous children in out-of-home care.

“It is very concerning that we are still seeing outcomes worsening for incarceration rates, children in out-of-home care and suicide,” Malarndirri McCarthy, the federal minister for Indigenous Australians, said in a statement.

The report found that the age-standardized suicide rate of Indigenous Australians increased from 23.6 per 100,000 people in 2018 to 30.8 per 100,000 people in 2023. According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), the suicide rate for the entire Australian population in 2023 was 11.8 per 100,000 people.
