Rutland - Market Overton - Ancient Village Stocks!

Rutland: Ancient Village Stocks & Whipping Post on Market Overton Green! (25.10.2025)

In the old days, the local Courts would often sentence local people to a set-time in the Stocks. With their hands and feet firmly manacled into the device – the interested village population could take it in-turns to throw rotten fruit and vegetables – together with animal waste and other such horrible substances, at the condemned. This was at a time when long sentences of imprisonment were not yet used as a punishment. This treatment was designed to be so humiliating that a villager would not dare commit a similar crimnal act in the future – or at least that was the intention.

Venezuela Bolivar Revolution

Venezuela: Simón Bolívar’s 1818 “Letters of Dignity” [Written to the US Envoy] – Are Enduring Testimonies of Freedom! (8.10.2025)

The Liberator, with his clear wisdom, also revealed to us the formula for victory by assuring that moral virtue and courage outweigh numbers. Furthermore, he left us a powerful statement that we now raise as a banner: “Fortunately, it has often been seen that a handful of free men defeat powerful empires.” In every historical juncture, Venezuela has proven to be the living proof of this principle: the brave handful of free men and women who have defeated the most powerful powers in the world.

18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (2012)

China: People’s Credit Evaluation System Defined! (25.9.2025)

Yes – China interfaces with the capitalist West – and generates its own wealth through trade (as Lenin and Mao suggested). To do this, the two respective banking systems, whilst remaining separate and distinct, must possess mechanisms that reflect one another – and enable efficient interaction. As China did not possess an effective credit-rating system prior to 2012 – quite often the dishonesty of feudal times raised its head as people started hunting for profit for profit’s sake – and leaving their fellow citizens behind (an illegal act within the Socialist System). Now, China has a credit-rating system that emphasises honest interaction over dishonest exploitation. Despite the deluded Western imagination inventing all kinds of delirious speculations – encouraging honesty is the only reason for the Chinese credit-rating system.

Breaking Rocks on the Rocks!

US: Trump Orders Re-Opening of “The Rock” – Notorious Alcatraz Prison! (5.5.2025)

It would take an enormous amount of money to make Alcatraz into a functioning prison, Professor Gabriel Jack Chin from the Davis School of Law at the University of California told the BBC.

The federal prison system is actually down about 25% from its peak population and “there are a lot of empty beds” in existing prisons, Chin said. “So its not clear if a new one is needed.”

Alcatraz has “a reputation as a tough prison” and Trump is trying to send a message that his administration will be tough on crime, Chin added.

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a California Democrat whose district includes Alcatraz, said the proposal was “not a serious one,” while the Democratic state senator for San Francisco, Scott Wiener, called the idea “deeply unhinged” in post on Instagram and “an attack on the rule of law.”

Canadian National Vimy Memorial

UK: Canada Must be a “Country” – Its Troops Attacked Witley & Epsom in 1919! (27.2.2025)

What makes his death significant is that his murderer was never really brought to justice and that some in authority supported this for political reasons.

The “riotous mob” was in fact more than 400 soldiers on the rampage and the words “found death” on his gravestone were used rather than murdered.

Why was this? It was 10 years later that Sergeant Green’s murderer, when arrested in Canada on another offence, admitted his guilt.

By then Scotland Yard was not really interested and a prosecution was never considered. What caused this apparently callous action and why was justice not pursued as vigourously as we might have expected?

Throughout the Great War, many troops from the British Empire had fought with distinction. Canada produced about 600,000 men from 1914-18, taking 210,000 casualties, with over 56,000 dead.

They were awarded 63 Vicoria Crosses. The awesome Vimy Ridge memorial in northern France bears testimony to their bravery and loyalty during that dreadful period.

However, when war ended in November 1918, many troops, easpecially those from overseas, expected to be de-mobbed and repatriated as quickly as possible. Unfortuanely this did not happen.

In fact de-mobilisation plans had been in the Government’s thoughts since 1917.

War Secretary Lord Derby thought that in order to help the country’s economy, the most skilled workers should be released first into the key industries.

However these were the very workers who had been the last to be conscripted and the unfairness of this caused small scale mutinies within the British Army in Calais, Folkstone and London.

This inequitable system was changed by the new Minister of War – a certain Winston Churchill – in January 1919.

He decided men should be de-mobbed on the basis of age, length of service and number of wounds received. This in effect was a “first in- first out” policy.

This worked well for British troops, but Dominion troops were left hanging around for months. In March 1919 disgruntled Canadian troops rioted in Rhyl and this was repressed only after a number of men had been killed.

Fake Beggars Punished - Read Beggars Rewarded!

Afghanistan: Taliban “Outlaws” Poverty – Rounds-Up Over 34,000 Beggars! (9.2.2025)

The Afghan caretaker government, according to the official, is committed to fighting the culture of begging as part of efforts to keep the society clean.
