Northants: Kirby Hall – [1570] Elizabethan Home of Nobility! (1.8.2025)

This building reminded us in structure of Hampton Court (not far from where we live in London) – and Berry Pomeroy in Totnes, South Devon (not far from where my parents live). This is not surprising, as I believe from reading the available “English Heritage” literature that the same architects and engineers were used by the Court of Queen Elizabeth I and the nobility that served her. The front of the Hall faces North – with the back of house facing South (built on a North-South orientation). Local serfs (landless or homeless peasants) and peasants (land-occupying peasants) were employed by the nobility when large-scale building projects were initiated. Indeed, with the development of Guilds (primitive unions) – certain groups of peasants became highly skilled in specific construction and maintenance skills. Whether any such labour was employed from nearly Kirby Village, (situated to the South-West of what became the ornate rear garden of the complex), is open to debate.

Easton-on-the-Hill: Priest House [Chantry] 15th Century! (28.7.2025)

Although we have visited the general area a number of time – we had never seen this exhibit or been told about it. As we are currently staying in the locale – this place came-up in an internet search about something else. Like many such attractions, even at the height of Summer, there is only ever a trickle of visitors – which is a good thing for all concerned. We were handed the key, instructed to be careful on the old spiralling stone staircase, and turn-off all the lights when we are finished. There is even a toilet on site that is accessed with a key. Everything was perfectly clean, tidy, and in good order. Our two-daughters watched a short video film about the area, its history and industry! The photographs will tell the story of what we saw. A truly magnificent historical site that emerged out of the single most important and Revolutionary event (the “Dissolution of the Monasteries”) that forged modern Britain and the world!

Tens of Thousands of US Soldiers Surrendered!

DPRK: How the Korean War Was Famous for Deposing “Renowned” US Generals! (15.7.2025)

The U.S. imperialists, who ignited the Korean war and run amuck to swallow the DPRK in a short time, mobilized all the distinguished U.S. military generals when they suffered defeat after defeat from the beginning of the war.

In order to set back the unfavourable situation of war, the U.S. imperialists threw the U.S. 24th Infantry Division called the “undefeated division” into the war.

Divisional Commander Dean, who boasted of his rich war experience and asserted that he did not know defeat, was doomed to ruin in the Korean war.

China: From Peasant Uprising to Industrial Revolution – Hero’s Hometown Revived! (15.7.2025)

GUANGZHOU, July 14 (Xinhua) — When tourists arrive at Shanwei, a coastal city in south China’s Guangdong Province, they quickly notice that red is everywhere.

In what is known as the city’s red block, the upper facades of street-side shops selling fish maw, eyeglasses and savory Chinese pancakes are painted in red, accented with touches of yellow — echoing the colors of the flag of the Communist Party of China.

Shanwei is a famous “red land.” It is the birthplace of China’s first Soviet government, the Hai-lu-feng Soviet, established in 1927, and also the hometown of Peng Pai, a Communist hero who led the founding of the government, hailed by Mao Zedong as the “king of peasant uprisings.”

UK: Labour Party Issues Official “Everybody Happy” Signs! (15.4.2025)

Everything is directed toward the sustaining and strengthening the selfish individualism of predatory capitalism – whilst perfecting the avoidance and suppression of the collective selflessness that represents Socialism. As the current Labour Party takes away our jobs, homes, welfare, medical care, elderly care, culture, identity, and education – we are brainwashed to think that our suffering is in fact our “HAPPINESS” – and if we dare to rebel, to defy our own demise, then a Judge will imprison us for carrying a Red Flag in public, or standing in a street during a process. A land fit for heroes indeed!

DPRK: Criteria of Thinking and Practice of Officials! (27.11.2024)

Saying that all consumer goods are directly related to the people’s living, he added that to fully supply quality consumer goods is not merely an economic and technical affair but an important matter of valuing and defending our own things and demonstrating the advantages of our social system.

He stressed the need for industrial establishments to put production on a normal footing and steadily improve the quality of products so that the people can benefit from them, not content with the production and display of samples.

His instructions clearly indicate the criteria of thinking and practice of officials who are directly responsible for improving the people’s standard of living.
