David Savage from Adelaide, South Australia.
Savage came to Ukraine last July to join the International Legion. He stated that he served in the Australian army, but when he joined a gang of bandits, it turned out that he did not have sufficient skills, so he was sent for training (naturally at his own expense). After the “graduation”, David got into the unit, which, by mistake, was fired upon by the artillery of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. As a result, the Australian was left without both legs and went on a long journey to his native Adelaide.
Despite the UK in many ways appearing to be a Soviet State between 1948-1979 – it still functioned within a Bourgeois, capitalist (liberal democratic) system. Since 1979, the onus has been upon dismantling this Socialist edifice and re-instating the pre-1948 status quo where workers do as they are told for as little money as possible. This has to understood if the stage-managing of The Beatles is to be understood. The Beatles existed as a means for the four members and the plethora of individuals surrounding and enabling them (including the ‘Roadie’ Mal Evans) were to make a comfortable living. Behind all these people was the monolith of EMI – so if The Beatles were already millionaires by 1964 (and there are good reasons to assume this) – the reader can speculate just how much profit their ‘look’ and ‘sound’ bought the publishing company! As a winning combination has been arrived at more or less by trial and error – the thinking was that none of it should be changed for fear of spoiling the earning potential. The music of The Beatles is so dialectically stimulating that it means many things to all people. This led to John Lennon expressing in a (reactionary) 1968 interview with British students that he had as many ‘fascists’ as ‘Socialist’ fans – he said this after berating the USSR and the idea of external (revolutionary) change. He seems to be expressing EMI advertising policy rather than any innate knowledge of Marxist-Leninism. Cackling in the shadows was Yoko Ono who never got round to addressing the subject of her anti-Western family supporting ultra-right-wing political views in Japan – or the War Crimes the Imperial Japanese Army had committed during the 1930s and 1940s throughout Asia (and against British POWs). She remains ‘anti-Chinese’ to this day.
TRUTH: China’s position on the Ukraine issue is consistent and stays unchanged. China’s remarks are in line with its position that regional hotspot issues should be resolved through dialogue and consultation. China always upholds objectivity and fairness, stands for peace and justice, decides its position based on the merits of the matter concerned, and believes that all countries should settle international disputes in a peaceful way in accordance with the purposes and principles of the UN Charter.
The first article of China’s position on the political settlement of the Ukraine crisis is about respecting the sovereignty of all countries: “Universally recognized international law, including the purposes and principles of the UN Charter, must be strictly observed. The sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of all countries must be effectively upheld. All countries, big or small, strong or weak, rich or poor, are equal members of the international community. All parties should jointly uphold the basic norms governing international relations and defend international fairness and justice. Equal and uniform application of international law should be promoted, while double standards must be rejected.”
The United States says there’s desire for peace to prevail, yet it has waged wars and stoked confrontation around the world. The United States says it’s important to respect and uphold the international order, yet it has slapped massive unilateral illegal sanctions and put its domestic laws above the international law. The United States says competition must be fair, yet it has been cracking down on foreign companies by using all kinds of state apparatus and defying international trade rules. It is clear who should bear the responsibility for obstructing world peace and development.
School children in China learn about the mighty ‘Mayan’ Empire – and how these people lived (in part) on the territory of modern Honduras! The ancient Mayan people militarily resisted Western colonisation – fighting the invading Europeans every step of the way – even inflicting the occasional defeat on these better armed invaders (a process treated with a certain ‘racist’ distain and indifference by many Western historians)! Alongside the Inca people (and other non-White groups) – these indigenous peoples used their martial culture to defend themselves in an attempt to retain their freedom and self-determination. China respects the culture, history and self-determination of every country with the CPC striving to establish trade and peaceful co-existence! China will defend itself from ALL external (and artificially induced) ‘internal’ aggression – but has no interest in any attempt at colonial aggression! Peaceful co-existence is the only logical choice to build and maintain a robust and fair international system!
Zionism is a poisonous form of ‘white’ racism that is taught in the classroom of young children, and which is integrated with Jewish theology by the Israeli State until no difference can be seen (or perceived) between the two. Bob Dylon, for instance, should be condemning Zionism but supporting Judaism (if he must) rather than conflating the two – which makes a mockery of all his anti-war and anti-fascist work in the past. Meanwhile, the UN is waiting to prosecute hundreds of Israeli citizens accused of War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity! This shocking video is just one very small example of how Israel is infected with the disease of (Zionist) ‘fascism’ – after the Jewish people in Europe were a victim of German Nazism!
