China: Latest Assassination Highlights Era of Political Violence in US! (14.9.2025)

The New York Times reported that political violence has become part of the fabric of American society. Just like school shootings, which once shocked the nation’s conscience, such incidents have now become commonplace.

“I take no pleasure in any hatred or any killing; every human being has the sacred right to life,” Greg Cusack, a former member of the Iowa House of Representatives, told Xinhua. “But this insanity will not stop until all the purveyors of hatred and division forever shut their foul mouths.”

“We have had periods like this in the past,” said professor Galdieri, referring to U.S. politics in the 1850s, when members of Congress assaulted each other in the Capitol.

“But things right now are exceptionally grim on this front,” Galdieri said. “I don’t see how things get better any time soon.”

A Tribute to Walter Rodney!

A Tribute To Walter Rodney – Why Are We Assassinating Our Greatest Thinkers? (13.9.2025)

Once that “something” is resolved – the label of “Whiteness” will disappear. As a label, we all inherit certain responsibilities regarding its symbolism. Blatant or shallow “reaction” is very common – but it is not helpful. Adolf Hitler is the arch-reactionary and his disorganised intellection is no answer to the historical crimes of the capitalist ideology. In this sense, we are ALL victims in the broad sense. In the narrow sense, victims and oppressors are identified. Where should the lens of visibility focus? Even within Whiteness there are internal victims and oppressors (every girl and woman reading this will understand what is written). The middle class oppresses the working class, the rich crush the poor, and so on. Then, the White monolith imposes its collective will beyond its own geographical boundaries – upon those who are not “White”.

Venice Lion Chinese Tomb Guardian

Italy: Study Finds Winged Lion of Venice Has “Chinese” Origin! (11.9.2025)

It would seem that between the Tang and (Islamic) Yuan Dynasties (around six-hundred years) this Lion sat dutifully outside a temple (or a tomb) – before being transported to the West and extensively “altered” to suit Western sensitivities – although it is highly likely that very few Europeans knew what an African (or “Indian”) lion actually looked like. Most Chinese lions I have seen are sat-down and I have never seen such an object stood-up on all fours. It would be interesting to see what the Lion in question looked like before the alterations. Finally, it is interesting that the British author (and former Submarine Commander in the Royal Navy) – Gavin Menzies (1937-2020) – wrote a book entitled “1434: The Year a Chinese Fleet Sailed to Italy and Ignited the Renaissance” (2008). He discusses the Chinese delegation that met with Pope Eugenius IV in Florence (1434) – and suggests that China had some type of diplomatic connection with the City States (which included Venice). Those who criticise Menzies’ work – are the same people who would never have allowed for idea that St Mark’s Lion could be of a “Chinese” origin. Given that this Lion arrived in Venice around 1264 – this Chinese Mission would have occurred only 166-years later.

Spain: Diplomatic Relations Cut with “Genocide” Committing Israel! (9.9.2025)

MADRID, September 8, 2025 (WAFA) – Spain’s Foreign Ministry announced on Monday that it recalled its ambassador in Israel for consultations in response to Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar’s remarks accusing Madrid of anti-Semitism following its new measures against Israel-bound ships and aircraft over the genocidal aggression on Gaza.

“The Spanish Government strongly rejects the false and slanderous accusations of anti-Semitism made by the Israeli Government against Spain and the Spanish people, as well as the unacceptable ban on two members of the Spanish Government entering Israel,” the Spanish Foreign Ministry said in a press statement.

It explained that “The measures relating to the inhumane situation in Gaza and the West Bank, announced today by the President of the Spanish Government, reflect the majority opinion of Spanish society and are adopted within the framework of its sovereignty and in line with its defence of peace, human rights and international law.”

Neo-Nazi Ukraine Disinforming As Usual!

Neo-Nazi Ukraine: Hilarious News Report from China! (9.9.2025)

The pro-Ukraine side simultaneously claims: “Ukraine has faced the largest scale attack by Russia: 800 drones and more than ten missiles. Kyiv is engulfed in flames” (Image 2 – Video 1), while also claiming “Over 800 drones and 13 missiles (including 4 ballistic missiles) have been shot down” (Image 2). This is contradictory. Additionally, Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko said her office was hit (Images 1 & 3 – Video 2).

"Help Me - I'm So Beautiful and Trpped!"

China: Two PRC Citizens “Fined” for Staged ‘Slum Marriage’ Video! (8.9.2025)

Chen is taking all the criticism – and I am not condoning her actions – but we must be careful in allotting blame. Remember, misogyny is also completely illegal in Socialist China and Chinese Muslims live very good and productive lives – although this fictional video (now “banned”) is obviously supposed to look as if it is outside of China. I suspect the two were on holiday somewhere and wanted to make some easy money – but instead – once the Chinese Revolutionary Police found out where the couple lived – the hinges flew-off their front-door early in the morning – probably after a “loud” (but equally “short”) knock! China has modified so quickly under the CPC that its people are still learning to come to terms with modernity, technology, and wealth. This is no excuse for bad behaviour, however, and I think these two will be punished, but only in a moderate manner (indeed, they were “fined”). Being ignorant and disrespectful of others (particularly those stuck in lesser socio-economic conditions) is only counted as “freedom” in the capitalist West.
