Mao Zedong - Literature

China: Cultural Relic Protection Unit – 1950s “Mao Zedong Calligraphy”! (3.9.2026)

There is something aesthetically pleasing about this calligraphy. Although “Revolutionary” in nature (and dialectically cutting through material reality) there is something timeless and deeply traditional. With a consummate ease – Mao Zedong issues edicts from Beijing which are relayed to Korea and turned into material actions on the ground. The “thought” and the “action” are like “mirror” and “reflection”. This is how the Chinese people regained their greatness after a hundred years of imperial subjugation at the hands of the West. Mao once wrote, “There will always be monsters that fire poisonous arrows – and there will always be people who dare to stand-up and catch them!” The anti-Socialist US re-deployed its army that had defeated the Imperial Japanese and Nazi Germans (behind the British and Soviets) – but it failed miserably in the face of a united China whose troops were motivated by Marxist-Leninism!

Comrade Kim Jong Un, General Secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and President of the State Affairs of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea

DPRK: Comrade Kim Jong Un Receives Greetings from Palestinian President on 81st Liberation Anniversary! (17.8.2026)

You can see the issue. Most in the West do not understand the minutiae of what is happening in Palestine – and mistakenly believe their is a united front. As an aside, the only organisation that attempts a broad united front is the “Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine” (PFLP) headquartered in Lebanon. Meanwhile, PA, whilst collaborating with Israel locally (a point that angers Hamas-supporters), backs the “Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions” (BDS) campaign that seeks to economically isolate Israel by encouraging ordinary people in the West not to give their money to Israeli-supporting businesses. PA, therefore, the organisation that has praised North Korea below, advocate collaboration with Israel locally – whilst encouraging those living outside the Middle East to wage an economic war against Israel. Yes – PA complains continuously about the ill-treatment of Palestinian prisoners and the violent behaviour of Israeli-settlers – but does very little about it in practical terms.

St Paul's Commemorative Coin - 15.6.2026

UK: Climbing the Dome – Surviving the 528-Steps of St Paul’s Cathedral! (16.8.2026)

In fact – although one of the centres of the Church of England (CofE) – there seems to be an element of “Sadomasochism” to it all. As if those Church Authorities watching enjoy the spectacle of the fee-paying faithful (yes – you have to “pay” to voluntarily submit yourself to this madness) – or non-faithful (as the case may be) – inflicting pain upon themselves (a form of self-flagellation). It is the design of this building possesses a nasty side in its design. Who knows – when the Cathedral is closed the Church Fathers might draw pleasure by climbing the steps themselves. Of course, like all things “CofE” – the entire place, although of historical and archaeological importance, is subject to capitalist free market forces. The over-priced gift shop reduces Christianity to fluffy toys and cut book-marks – all over-priced – of course. I suspect that if you actually asked a question about religion – nobody working in there could answer it. Still, history is history, and other than the excessive steps – the history entwined in the stone-work of the building was good for the children to enjoy. At the entry point – the clerk shouted that there was no photography – but then said we could photograph anything we wanted to. So, we never quite worked-out what the rule was – and recorded everything we could see. Finally, when we got to what we thought was the top – it turned out there was actually over another hundred steps to go! In the video I say we had climbed the 528 steps – but I think there was around another 140 to go!

Doctors from Tongji Medical College perform fully invasive brain-computer interface surgery on a patient. (Photo provided to China News Service)

China: Paralyzed Patient Undergoes First “Invasive Brain-Computer Interface” Surgery at Tongji Medical College! (14.8.2026)

The patient, identified by the pseudonym Hu Damin, has been bedridden for two years following a spinal cord injury. Doctors implanted eight ultraflexible electrodes into her motor cortex. Each electrode, dozens of times thinner than a human hair, can capture neural signals linked to her intention to move.

The BCI system is designed to bypass the damaged spinal cord and translate brain signals into commands for devices such as computer cursors, smartphones and wheelchairs. Through rehabilitation training, doctors hope to help her regain fine motor functions in her upper limbs.

The implanted device is reportedly China’s first high-throughput BCI product capable of recording single-neuron-level signals and has been recognized as an innovative medical device by the National Medical Products Administration.

The Hula-Hoop was Not New - But the US Tried to Turn into a Fitness Fade!

USSR: Modern Russians Lying About Soviet Russia – It’s the Hula-Hoop All-Over Again! (2.8.2026)

Years later, I learned that at least Republics of the USSR were “Buddhist” and of various ethnicities (including “Tibetan”). More to the point, the 1936 Soviet Constitution guaranteed racial equality for a) everyone born in the USSR, and b) for everyone visiting the USSR. Even today, I am often mistaken for “Russian” of the Soviet-era – as this explains my “Chinese” partner. This often happens in and around the Soviet War Memorial in London. Modern Russian people, at least those in the pay of the US, should stop lying about the glorious past that is the USSR. It was – and still remains – the US (not Russia or the USSR) that is the most racist country on earth. Even their Black President Obama instigated Neo-Nazism in Ukraine – destroying the Slavic people both sides of the divide. I wish young Russians would think about what they are writing – about the false narratives they are buying into. This is why I have carried-out a lot of translation work for the Communist Parties of Lugansk and Donetsk – as that is my ideological doorway into modern Russia. Of course, I am not Russian – and do not pretend to be. I am a Sinotised Celt – and that’s about it. I value historical truth other disinformation. The world could learn much under a USSR under Lenin and Stalin. After-all, 41 million Soviets were killed and wounded assisting the UK as allies during WWII.
