Roundup: “Historic” Decline in US Life Expectancy Reveals System Problems, Inequality! (9.8.2022)

The COVID-19 is not solely to blame. Longstanding health problems — rooted in poverty, discrimination and poor access to health care — left Native Americans and Alaska Natives particularly vulnerable to the virus, said Ann Bullock, former director of diabetes treatment and prevention at the federal agency of Indian Health Service.

The non-Hispanic American Indian or Alaska Native population experienced the greatest decline of life expectancy by 1.9 years between 2020 and 2021, according to NCHS report.

The cumulative decline since the pandemic started, more than 6.5 years on average, has brought life expectancy to 65 among Native Americans and Alaska Natives — on par with the figure for all Americans in 1944.

One in seven Native Americans and Alaska Natives has diabetes, the highest rate among racial or ethnic groups in the United States, and many struggle with obesity or excess weight. Both conditions make people more susceptible to severe COVID-19, and crowded multigenerational housing adds to the risk, said The New York Times.

Geneva Envoys from Asian, African Developing Countries Visit Xinjiang! (30.8.2022)

The envoys said that the Chinese government not only protects the lawful activities of various religious groups but has also explored an effective path focusing upon anti-terrorism and de-radicalization – a vital and effective path which could be a useful example for many other countries.

The envoys said they witnessed a diverse, modern and inclusive society during their four-day trip to Xinjiang, which is in sharp contrast to what the rumours of “forced labour” and “ethnic genocide” depicted.

The envoys added that they will share their experience in Xinjiang with others after returning to Geneva, refute rumours and lies about Xinjiang, and firmly support China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, as well as its legitimate position.

Global COVID-19 Cases Surpass 600 million – Johns Hopkins University! (28.8.2022)

One of the most effective exports of the US since 1945 – other than global war and predatory capitalism – is, of course, its general capacity to present ‘anti-intellectualism’ as the highest expression of ‘free-will’! To state it simply, being ‘stupid’ is presented as being ‘wise’ – and the US government has fought entire wars in protection of this principle!

China and India Should ‘Unite’ in the Face of US Neo-Imperialism! (26.8.2022)

At present, we must sit and observe the US bourgeoisie interact in a sugary-sweet manner with its Indian counter-part – whilst millions of ordinary Indian people remain illiterate and enslaved by the inverted and primitive ideology of religion – which is the result of the grinding poverty they are forced to endure on a daily basis! This is the socio-economic reality that bourgeois Indian collaboration with the predatory capitalism of the United States truly represents! Whilst a succession of Indian governments allow the West to interfere in the relations between China and India – the 1947 Independence of India (from the brutality of the British ‘Raj’) will mean absolutely NOTHING for the majority of ordinary Indians!

Sichuan: Drought Exposes Full Extent of Ancient Buddhist Artefact! (23.8.2022)

Although Buddhist philosophy must be distinguished from the religious urges which have often surrounded ‘Buddhism’ (Marx, Engels and Mao possessed a healthy respect for Early Buddhist dialectics), within ancient China and elsewhere, thousands upon thousands of individuals have been motivated to stop seeking-out their daily living, the sustenance of others and/or the means to change and transform human society for the betterment of all! Instead, what a modern humanity is left with today is the often impressive and awe-inspiring physical structures of the human populations of the past, which instead of communicating with a ‘hidden realm’ (as intended) are actually communicating with exactly the same humanity, simply a humanity occupying a different space and time from them!

China’s Long History at the Sanxingdui Ruins Continue to Surprise! (19.8.2022)

A central element of Eurocentric (Western) racism is that ‘White’ culture is both ‘long’ and ‘superior’ when compared to any other cultural expression seen throughout the world! The science of archaeology, however, has firmly proven both of these assumptions to be completely incorrect! Whereas racism causes suffering in the world because due to its distorted thinking motivating violent and destructive action – the purpose of science, (when used correctly), is designed to ‘remove’ the type of ignorance that motivates the false ideology that underlies racist thinking!
