Rep. Al Green ejected from Trump's State of the Union after holding a 'Black People Aren't Apes' sign

US: Trump’s “God-Complex” & “Anti-Intellectualism” on Full Display! (28.2.2026)

At one point, Trump called on audience members to stand if they believed the U.S. government’s primary duty is to protect American citizens, not illegal immigrants. Republicans rose to their feet and applauded for several minutes, while Democrats remained seated. Trump rebuked that they should be ashamed.

Democrats did not remain silent throughout. When Trump criticized a U.S. Supreme Court ruling overturning his tariff policy, Democrats responded with applause in support of the court’s decision, in sharp contrast to their earlier silence.

Meanwhile, hundreds of protesters gathered on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., holding signs reading “No funding for ICE” and “Healthcare, not war.” Some carried large posters displaying photos of individuals who died during operations by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

My Revolutionary Clobber!

Cuba: My Study of Che Guevara’s Work! (27.2.2026)

Oddly, Audible, despite hosting some fairly right-wing and far-right tomes – to its credit – it also hosts Marx, Engels, Lenin, Mao Zedong, Ho Chi Minh, and Che Guevara (amongst others). Yes – some are bourgeois aberrations – but others are straight from the original ideological source material and convey clear Socialist and Communist thinking. So far – so good. Recently, whilst carrying-out my academic work of translating ancient Chinese texts into English – I play audio-books in the background – so I can continue to “learn” whilst working. This is how, over the last three-months, I made an effort to study the Cuban Revolutionary experience. This came about after I had a conversation (a few years ago) with a Spanish man now living in Sutton – who surprised me when he said he had no interest in China or the USSR – but rather the Central and South American experience. This got me thinking – as I used to generally integrate all these movements – assuming they were different aspects of the 1917 Russian Revolution (which of course they are). The point is that different ethno-centric experiences abound – even if we are political allies all heading in the same ideological direction.

Honeywood Museum - Changing Perspectives! Disabled People in the Workforce!

UK: Honeywood Museum – Changing Perspectives! Disabled People in the Workforce – Exhibition! (21.2/2026)

Of course, this might not be the case due to severity – but each human being should be granted dignity. Whatever the case, the able-bodied society at large should not “punish” those who happen to possess a disability – just because such an individual requires assistance here or there. Punishing the poor and needy derives from the Christian notion of “charity” – which suggests god is punishing the impoverished and the disabled for an imagined “sin” of some kind. This attitude has been taken on by modern capitalist society as disabled people, due to their enhanced needs, are not as efficient to exploit for naked profit as their able-bodied colleagues are. Given a chance and appropriate support, many disabled people are able to contribute to society. In the cases where they are not – such individuals should be cared for with compassion by society at large.

Joseph Stalin - Great Working Class Hero!

UK: In Praise of Stalin – Who Always Kept His Guard Up Against Trotskyism! (18.2.2026)

In my veins I feel the truth of what Joseph Stalin has to say – because what he has to say is absolutely correct. In this regard, Nicolae Ceausescu (and his partner) are working-class heroes murdered by the bourgeoisie (as is Saddam Hussein). It is ironic that whilst the bourgeoise is always trying to delude the masses through the perpetuation of the fog of theist religion – it is always using Christmas-time to carry-out its most brutal executions – even televising such hideous spectacles as a form of “warning” entertainment. Suddenly, the Dalai Lama’s 169 mentions in the Epstein Files fall into place. At one time, the West attempted to infiltrate Moscow high society with secret agents willing to practice homosexuality in the USSR. The NKVD traced this from Washington to Tel Aviv – and reported it to Stalin – who ordered the agents destroyed – and quite right in my opinion. From what I gather, these “male” agents were heterosexuals carrying-out a “trained role” for their country. The idea was to plant the foundation of bourgeois individualism in the USSR using sexual decadence as a vehicle. Indeed, post-1991 saw all kinds of sexual deviance imported into the post-Soviet space, including religion and far-right ideology. All this is “Trotskyite”. Revealing its treachery is not homophobia – but pro-worker (many of the early Bolsheviks were known to be “gay” – but not decadent – and there is the difference). The point is that deficient ideology is not correct ideology – and this applies to false derivatives claiming to be “Marxist”. 

Happy Chinese New Year of the Double (Red) Fire Horse!

UK: ICBI Chinese New Year Message – Lunar Spring Festival – 4724! (17.2.2026)

As compassion and loving kindness grows and is magnified through the more people it is shared with – these statements act as “ripples” of positive energy emanating that traverse through the portals of the past, present, and future – excluding none and embracing all! Of course, the Buddha defined the human mind as being that capacity which can perceive the present, recall the past, and plan for the future. This is a remarkable observation. What the Ch’an School offers, infused as it is with the thinking associated with Confucianism – and the far older “Book of Change” – is that the mind should a) be “stilled” (realising a relative emptiness), b) a product of purifying all vestiges of greed, hatred, and delusion, and c) and in so-doing experiencing the expansion of this “emptiness” realisation into an “all-embracing” reality.

A Voyage to Arcturus

UK: In Praise of David Lindsay and his Book “A Voyage to Arcturus! (14.2.2026)

What was written on those 30 missing pages? No one knows because they remain missing. It is interesting to speculate as what is left reads like the music (and lyrics) from “Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band”. Considering how bizarre and sexually suggestive the remaining content is – one is left pondering as to the true scale of non-conformity. Anyway, a number of early SciFi writes used the agency of “sleep” as a means to travel long distances or indeed travel through time – I think this idea dates back to the French author “Louis-Sébastien Mercier” (1740-1814) and his 1771 masterpiece entitled “The Year 2440: A Dream If Ever There Was One” (L’An 2440, rêve s’il en fut jamais). I think HG Wells also borrowed this concept for his 1898 book entitled “When the Sleeper Wakes”. Lindsay, it must be said, did flesh it out somewhat by suggesting it was possible to “travel on light beams” in “torpedo-shaped metal space craft” (the essence of the modern “Alien” franchise?). Of course, it must be stressed that Arcturus was in fact the “sun” around which the planet Tormance orbited. The protagonists did not travel to the sun – but to the planet Tormance – which is an interesting and unexplained contradicting. Why not the title “A Voyage to Tormance” – as this planet seems far more warmer than earth (the main character Maskull required a blood transfusion just tosurvive – provided wilfully by a Tormance women (an allusion to the power of menstruation – perhaps?)
