UK: British Museum Faces Renewed Calls to Return Cultural Relics! (7.9.2023)

“They are the subject of loot. They were illegally taken out of the country,” Tijani said. He demanded the British Museum give back the Benin Bronzes, which British forces took in 1897.

“It is irrespective whether they are safe there. That is not an issue. The issue is that these are stolen artefacts, and they should be returned to Nigeria to the communities that they belong to,” he added.

Bell Ribeiro-Addy, chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Afrikan Reparations, threw light on the “insulting ridiculousness” of the British Museum’s refusal to return artefacts to their country of origin on security grounds.

“One of the most insulting reasons that they’ve given is that the other countries that these items belong to would either not be able to take care of them or they are likely to be stolen,” she said. “But you’ve got people in this country putting them on eBay.”

LinkedIn Shuts Service in Chinese Mainland – Another US Security Risk Removed! (10.8.2023)

Meanwhile, the Chinese Proletariat ‘Revolution’ must be protected. If US Tech Companies are not willing to abide by local laws – then they should leave. I would advise the same approach for all European countries – including the UK – and would suggest that our national governments STOP US Tech Companies from flouting our local laws and treating us as if we are US citizens (existing outside of the US) and applying all kinds of discriminatory and prejudicial limitations to our behaviour that are alien to our cultures and contrary to our laws! In reality, Biden’s destructive economic policies are destroying free market businesses and this has led to the InCareer Corporation (which owns ‘Linkedin’) shedding over 700 jobs worldwide and closing non-competitive enterprises. The reactionary US media is packaging this happening as being China’s fault and the product of draconian local regulations. The hypocrisy is palpable.

Congo: Children Bagged-Up and Ready for Collection! (25.7.2023)

The children are ‘brainwashed’ to co-operate in their own enslaving and abuse. Many of these adult women may well have been victims of sex-trafficking themselves and are repeating the cycle of abuse they experienced as a child. If the Colonial treatment of the Congo population (by the Belgians) is studied (which involved the routine hacking-off of hands and feet) – then placing children in bags ‘unhurt’ is considered comparatively ‘harmless’ to the local Congo people – regardless of how shocking such practices may seem to the contemporary Western observer.

Twitter’s New $5M Revenue Sharing Programme Gives Payouts To Far-Right Influencers! (22.7.2023)

Andrew Tate, who was recently released from jail and placed under house arrest on charges of human trafficking, rape and forming an organized criminal group, posted that he had been paid more than $20,000. Others reporting a range of payments (made via Stripe) included Rogan O’Handley (known online as DC Draino). “This is a nice turnaround from being banned by Twitter 1.0 for almost 2 years to now being paid to post Thank you @elonmusk,” O’Handley tweeted.

China: Huawei to Roll-Out 5.5G Equipment! (20.7.2023)

In China, the number of 5G base stations exceeded 2.84 million by the end of May as the country ramped up efforts to build the world’s largest and most advanced network infrastructure, said Wang Jiangping, vice-minister of industry and information technology, during the Global Digital Economy Conference 2023 held in Beijing earlier this month.

With technologically advanced network infrastructure, China has been accelerating the development of the digital economy in recent years.

The scale of China’s digital economy grew to 50.2 trillion yuan ($7 trillion) in 2022. The share of the digital economy in the country’s GDP rose to 41.5 percent, making it an important engine for stable growth and transformation, according to data from the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology.

With service models and content evolving continuously, breakthroughs in technologies like goggles-free 3D are creating unprecedented immersive experiences for users. However, these new services require stronger 5G network capabilities, making a stronger case for 5.5G modalities.

World Insights: Fentanyl – Solely A Homegrown US problem – So Why Blame China? (19.7.2023)

CHEAP, ABUNDANT STREET DRUGS

Fentanyl and its derivatives sufentanil, alfentanil and remifentanil are all synthetic phenypiperidine drugs, which are synthetic opioid receptor agonists.

A painkiller for countless patients, fentanyl has many side effects. The drug has gradually become a menace to social security across the United States, a society long plagued by opioid addiction and abuse.

Statistics by the Council on Foreign Relations in April indicated that opioids, primarily fentanyl, are the leading cause of U.S. overdose deaths, which have roughly quadrupled over the last ten years for which data is fully available. In 2021, the death toll surged to 80,411, more than 10 times the number of U.S. military service members killed in the post-9/11 wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

There have been three waves of opioid abuse in U.S. society, with fentanyl being the “main character” of the third wave.
