Soviet Binoculars & Soviet Hat

UK: Finding a Pair of Genuine CCCP Binoculars in a Local Charity Shop! (25.7.2026)

There were shops in major cities in the USSR reserved for visitors – that were designed to exhibit the best quality goods the Soviet Union had to offer. What is interesting that nowhere on this product is a price mentioned – not even on the Certificate – which makes wonder whether this device was “gifted” rather than sold. Although it is said that Soviet citizens could not afford to shop at the special tourist shops – due to the prices charged (these prices were still relatively cheap for foreign visitors – my great uncle flew from one-side of the USSR to the other for £5) this really did not matter, as Soviet citizens would receive these goods either “free” (provided by the State) or at a fraction of the price charged to rich foreigners. You can see how Western propaganda used every opportunity to “lie” about the Soviet Union and give the impression of inequality or oppression. My great uncle – a former Coldstream Guardsman – used to practice photography as a hobby, and he would regularly fly to the USSR to purchase cameras – as Soviet cameras possessed the best lenses (perfected during the Space Race). Photography in the 1950s and 1960s was a completely different beast to the contemporary equivalent.

A reception was given at Yanggakdo International Hotel on Thursday to mark the 65th anniversary of the conclusion of the DPRK-China Treaty of Friendship, Cooperation and Mutual Assistance.

DPRK: 65th Anniversary of DPRK-China Treaty of Friendship – Cooperation & Mutual Assistance – Celebrated! (21.7.2026)

He said it is a vivid feature of the relations between China and the DPRK that they support and cooperate with each other, share destiny and protect and help each other, adding that Comrade General Secretary Xi Jinping and Comrade General Secretary Kim Jong Un met seven times to lead the traditional China-DPRK friendship to open a new chapter of history.

He said that the firm stand of the Chinese party and government placing great importance on China-DPRK friendship will remain unchanged and the firm support for the cause of Korean socialism led by Comrade General Secretary Kim Jong Un will never be changed, adding that the Chinese side will, together with the DPRK side, hold aloft the banner of socialism and ensure that the baton of Chinese-DPRK friendship is handed down through generations.

Kampuchea: The Narrative the US Does Not Want You To Know! (16.7.2026)

Given that the PLA had defeated the US in Korea – surely China could have defended its ancient ally of Khmer without too much difficulty? Deng Xiaoping wanted to “open-up” and make money rather than pursue or protect the old order. As a consequence, very little genuine research is carried-out in this area as China simply ignores it – and the US is quite happy to associate Socialism with mass killing – a fabrication the capitalists have perpetuated for decades (virtually no one died during the Russian Revolution – but between 1918-1921 the collective West during its invasion killed 10.5 million Soviet Russians). The US (and the West) are the mass killers – and it is their habitual crimes that they like to protect upon their ideological enemies. Ironically, since betraying Ho Chi Minh’s vision of a “New Vietnam” – that country has struggled – particularly after the fall of the USSR in 1991, being as it is estranged from China. Only very recently has Vietnam approached China for a far more profound and deep economic relationship. Cambodia is merely left to rot – with its pointless monarchy and capitalist system. Indeed, whereas Polpot declared all women and gorls equal to men – Cambodia is today the world centre for filming paedophiia and trafficking children. Of course, there are no Hollywood films about this, and no catchy soundtracks – as that would be telling the truth and not peddling mindless entertainment.

Moment of Impact - Yaita Akio Expertly Positions Face on Innocent Victim's Hand!

China: “Political Cockroach” [Yaita Akio] Strikes Innocent Man’s Hand with Face! (13.7.2026)

Thousands of such children were taken in and raised by Chinese families despite the devastation of war. Yaita’s father was adopted by a Chinese family, and Yaita himself grew up in China, speaking fluent Chinese and immersed in the culture.

That background could have made him a bridge. Instead, he turned it into a weapon. Yaita became a journalist for a right-wing Japanese media outlet, using his “China insider” image to build a career on anti-China rhetoric. He has denied the Nanjing Massacre, called for Taiwan to send warships to the Strait of Hormuz to assist U.S. and Japanese forces, and publicly aligned himself with Taiwanese independence activists, co-founding an “Indo-Pacific strategy thinktank.”

His actions have drawn sharp condemnation, including from other Japanese war orphans who say he has “brought shame on all of us” and betrayed the kindness that saved his family. 

At the recent event in Taichung, a Hong Kong man struck him in what was described as an act of “righteous indignation.” While violence is never the answer, many online say the assault reflects the deep resentment Yaita has earned by turning against the very people who raised him.

DPRK: Deconstructing the “NATO Threat”! (12.7.2026)

The U.S., Japan and the ROK’s call for “denuclearization”, which completely lost the timeliness and practical feasibility, can never affect the position of the DPRK, and the reality faced by the forces who have denied it for decades is a sufficient answer to this.

The concept of denuclearization should be applied on a priority basis to the attempts of Japan and the ROK to go nuclear by themselves in an extremely dangerous phase under the active patronage of the U.S. and to the ambition for nuclear confrontation of NATO member states sharing the U.S. nukes.

NATO is systematically exacerbating the security environment of Europe through the implementation of its reckless easternward advance policy and expansion of its support for the neo-Nazi forces to maintain illegal justification for its existence which should have been extinct with the end of the Cold War, and creating instability in the Asia-Pacific region by shifting its responsibility on to other countries. Its provocative moves can never be overlooked.

General Secretary Xi Jinping: China & DPRK to Keep Advancing a Modernizing Socialist Cause! (11.7.2026)

Xi said he and Kim agreed to take the commemoration of the treaty’s 65th anniversary as an opportunity to bear in mind the original aspiration and mission of the older generations of leaders of the two parties and countries, and encourage the two peoples to carry forward their traditional friendship, and keep bilateral ties vibrant in the coming years.

Noting that the current international landscape is fraught with changes and turbulence, Xi said the two countries should maintain strategic resolve, enhance strategic confidence, and further implement the consensus reached by him and General Secretary Kim Jong Un, ensuring that the relations between the two parties and countries keep pace with the times.

Xi called on both sides to steadily advance practical cooperation, continuously strengthen public support, and ensure that the young people of both countries remember the historic contributions of the Chinese People’s Volunteers.
