UN Began With Good Intentions!

Russia: USSR and [1945] Founding of the UN 80 Years Ago! (21.1.2025)

The creation of the United Nations was the result of the Great Victory in World War II, which was achieved thanks to an unparalleled feat performed by Soviet soldiers and millions of lives of citizens of the USSR, as well as of other states that were part of the Allied troops. The Soviet Union, the successor country to which Russia is now, was at the origins of the UN. It was in Moscow in the autumn of 1943 that the Allies, i.e. representatives of the USSR, the United Kingdom and the USA, agreed to establish an international organisation to protect future generations from another global conflict. Russia then took the leading role in the process, and the idea was refined and finally put into practice at the San Francisco Conference in 1945. The UN became the core of the system developed at the Yalta and Potsdam Conferences, with the UN Charter setting out the fundamental norms of international law that formed the Decalogue for the behaviour of states in the international arena.

North Korea Continuously Progresses!

DPRK: Inauguration Ceremony of Regional-industry Factories in Jaeryong County Held! (18.1.2025)

He repeatedly stressed the need for the Party and government organs in cities and counties to always pay close attention to providing conditions necessary for normalizing production at the regional-industry factories, including providing raw materials and training skilled workers, and unconditionally ensure the provision of the conditions so that the new regional development policy of our Party can make a substantial contribution to promoting the material well-being of the inhabitants in the relevant regions.

He affirmed that he would make this year a year of another upsurge in regional construction by setting a higher standard as a goal on the basis of last year’s successes and ensuring the economic profitability, effectiveness and prospectiveness to the maximum.

The inauguration ceremony of the regional-industry factories in Jaeryong County held in the presence of Kim Jong Un served as a significant occasion, which instilled confidence in sure victory and optimism into the people across the country, who have turned out as one in the drive to open up a new avenue for prosperity according to the viewpoint on development and in the spirit of creation of the Korean style and greet the Ninth Congress of the Party as a glorious congress of victors.

Boycott Starbucks!

Starbucks Declares “Buy or Leave” – as Israeli “War Crimes” Boycott Kicks-In! (15.1.2025)

Below, as an example the BBC refers to the Israeli “Genocide” in Gaza as the Israeli-Gaza War” – as if Gaza is a country (rather than a small area of occupied Palestine) that benefits from equal political support and possesses an armed force equivalent to that being armed and funded by the US, UK, and EU! Ordinary Palestinians “volunteer” to resist the Israeli aggression whilst lightly armed, and for no pay. This article briefly mentions a “boycott” vaguely linked to the Israeli “Genocide” – but tries to negate this association by suggesting “price rises” are the reason Starbucks sales have plummeted since the beginning of the Israeli aggression of October 2023. In fact, photographs of IDF soldiers returning from murdering innocent Palestiian men, women, and children – and holding “free” Starbucks coffees – has caused worldwide revulsion!

New Technology for New Missile!

DPRK: Missile Administration – Successful Test-Fire of New-type Intermediate-range [Hypersonic] Ballistic Missile! (7.1.2025)

The hypersonic missile system will reliably contain any enemies in the Pacific region that can affect the security of our state.

We have acquired a technical force which is by no means easy to achieve.

This is a remarkable achievement and a special event in strengthening the self-defensive capabilities, which we should be proud of.

I express thanks to all the researchers and technicians and the workers of munitions industry enterprise, who contributed to the successful development of the new-type strategic weapon system.

The Great Paul Robeson Sr - Socialist!

Grover Furr: Paul Robeson’s Meeting with Itzik Fefer, June 1949! (5.1.2025)

The adoption of (fascist) Zionism by the “White” Settler Jews changed this perspective as Golda Mayer (Israel’s first Ambassador to the USSR) attempted to have Soviet Jews (law abiding citizens of the USSR) rise-up and forcibly take possession of large swathes of Soviet territory – referring to this land as “Greater Israel”! There was no reason for this other than Jewish “White Supremacy”. Of course, as we must continuously cover our backs when making such assertions, the 1975 UN Resolution (now often hidden or disguised) confirmed that Zionism is a form of “White Supremacy” developed by secular Jews in late 1880s Germany! If booing from the gallery persists – I tend to direct the curious to my Jewish friends at the “International Jewish Anti-Zionist Network”. The delusion associated with theistic religion is the problem – not Joseph Stalin or the USSR. I say this as an academic expert in the study of World Religion. When an anti-modern and anti-science (inverted) belief system is entwined with racism – humanity has a massive problem on its hands. I say exactly the same about any narrow-minded religion be it Buddhist (my own), Daoism, Confucianism, Islam, Hinduism, Sikhism, or any belief system which advocates hatred instead of progression.

Prof. Grover Furr Applies the Academic Method!

Grover Furr: “Trotsky Was a Fascist!” – Talk on Trotsky’s Comintern Conspiracy to the Oakland ICSS October 20, 2024! (5.1.2025)

When it comes to historical evidence there is no such thing as “credibility.” All evidence must be subjected to doubt and carefully studied.

The Need For, and Lack of, Objectivity

Everybody has biases. But everybody can learn to be objective in studying any subject, whether it be physics or history. The techniques are basically similar.

Objectivity as a scientific method is a practice of “distrust of the self.” You can learn to be objective by training yourself to become aware of, to articulate, and then to question your own preconceived ideas. You must be reflexively suspicious of evidence that tends to confirm your own preconceived ideas, prejudices, and preferences. You must learn to give an especially generous reading to any evidence and arguments that contradict your own preconceived ideas.
