US Army: Chinese TCM “Adopted” to Keep Troops Fit! (14.4.2023)

TCM originated in the Chinese culture. It explains health and diseases from a macro, systemic and holistic perspective. As a unique form of medicine, TCM exercises a profound influence on the life of the Chinese people. It is a major means to help the Chinese people maintain health, cure diseases, and live longlives. 

Born in China, TCM has also absorbed the essence of other civilizations, evolved, and gradually spread throughout the world. As early as the Qin and Han dynasties (221 BC-AD 220), TCM was popular in many neighboring countries and exerted a major impact on their traditional medicines.

China has launched a series of programs to promote the development of TCM. With curative effects being seen by the public, TCM is gaining popularity worldwide and being widely used in many countries.

Celebrating the Year of the ‘White’ Rabbit (22.1.2023)

This is all part of what happens within ethnic Chinese homes and living spaces. Outside, there will be martial arts performances which will include lion, dragon and phoenix dances to bring good look – whilst families meet to celebrate together! In China there is now a two-week holiday with various traditional rituals on certain days! As China moves toward ‘Socialism’ – people are changing and becoming more modern and scientifically minded – and this leads to knew interpretations of reality and historical processes! This is a good thing as dangerous superstitions are abandoned, traditions are clarified and made safe and easily shareable, and Chinese people develop ‘Internationalist’ attitudes and tendencies!

What ‘Chinese New Year’ Looks Like in South London! (22.1.2023)

It is the Year of the ‘White’ Rabbit and the traditional year in China is ‘4721’ since the reign of the Yellow Emperor! This surprises many people, as all they have known throughout their lives is the Judeo-Christian calendar. As this calendar became ‘secularised’ due to the rise of the rich merchants (Bourgeoisie), the industralisation of society and the development of capitalism – many ‘Socialist’ countries have adopted its use as an expedient device designed to aid international relations – and China is no exception. Of course, we are effectively discussing comparative mythology, but my point is that China currently represents the ‘oldest’, ‘continuous’ and ‘unbroken’ culture in the world – and not the ‘West’. Today, the temperature is 3 – Celsius in Sutton, South London, and I do not think any sane rabbit would be hopping about amongst the crisp frost! Whilst the family still slumbers – I thought I would share a video and some photographs whilst hoping the Revolution will come sooner rather than later – and that all the unjust suffering humanity is experiencing due to the capitalist system will be brought to an end! We can live in hope!

A Quick Note To Margaret Cho… (21.8.2021)

I heard that Margaret Cho once played a ‘North Korean General’ – and then made a comment in one of her ‘Live Shows’ that at least she will not be thrown into a ‘Labour Camp’ for expressing her own opinion! Although Margaret Cho expressing an opinion that might be described as ‘left’ of centre – she lives in a vicious (predatory) system that allows people to be homeless in a society surrounded by ample housing, people to die of starvation whilst surrounded by ample food and people to die of medical neglect whilst surrounded by ample medical supplies and facilities. North Korea does not possess ‘Labour Camps’ – they use ‘judicial prisons’ just like virtually every other modern country. However, the United States use their prison system as a ‘free labour’ resource. This is to say that it is the ‘United States of America’ (USA) that imprisons a large percentage of its African-American population (i.e., ‘Black’ people) and uses their ‘free labour’ in a compulsory manner to manufacture virtually ALL military helmets, ammunition belts, identity (dog) tags, bullet proof vests and other military equipment, (which is then used via military action against the non-White populations of the world), as well as producing 93% of domestically produced paints, 36% of home appliances and 21% of office furniture, etc. This use of its predominantly ‘Black’ population being held within the US prison system, allows North America to compete with Mexican factories, and allows the same Black population to used in a system of modern slavery! It is the United States that does this to a significant percentage of its own population – and not North Korea! When Lincoln first freed the slaves, this legislation only freed those living within Confederate territory – and not those slaves still held within Union territory.
