The Management of Savagery: How America's National Security State Fueled the Rise of Al Qaeda, Isis, and Donald Trump

Syria: How Russia and Iran Betrayed an Ally! (8.12.2024)

It is clear that both Russia and Iran have militarily (and politically) betrayed President Assad – a (secular) Socialist leader of Syria. Hillary Clinton’s campaign for the Presidency was scuppered when emails were leaked – stating that she wanted to (joyfully) “destroy” both Iran and Syria “for Israel”! This is an ongoing bourgeois plan developed through a mix and match approach – one that manoeuvres around the self-centred individuals that are “thrown-up” via the democratic process – and the fickle attitudes of the general public (which habitually swing toward and away from Israel – due to the strength of government-generated Islamophobia).

Boots Xmas Advert 2024

Far-Right Hypocrisy and [2024] Boots Xmas Advert! (30.11.2024)

The typical (Christian) Monastic Rule states that on the day of the birth of Jesus Christ (Christmas Day), the monks, nuns and lay-observants (oblates), are solemn, humble, conscientious, profoundly aware, and committed to the structures of the Rule they follow. The interesting thing, however, is that the day of Christ’s birth is no more – and no less – significant than any other of the 364 days that exist throughout the year within the monastic cycle. Yes – various holy days (including Christmas Day) attract specific sermons and rituals – but these are inserted into the general daily framework of the Monastic Rule itself. Extra-food and extra-drink (outside of that already permitted by the Rule) is not allowed. A break from the daily round of monastic duty (outside the Rule) is not allowed. Finally, as the monastics and lay-observants own “nothing” (not even their robes) – there is never any giving of gifts (private property is not permitted under the Rule).

Science Starts with the People!

China: Country Set to Advance Sci-Tech Popularization! (5.11.2024)

The proportion of Chinese citizens with scientific literacy increased from 1.98 percent in 2003 to 14.14 percent last year, according to results of a survey released in April by the China Association for Science and Technology.

For the first time, the gap in scientific literacy levels of citizens in the eastern, central and western regions has narrowed, while gender disparities have also been further reduced, the data showed.

Meanwhile, China’s rank in the global innovation index has climbed from 34 in 2012 to 11 this year, making it the only middle-income economy among the top 30, according to the Global Innovation Index 2024, which was published in September by the World Intellectual Property Organization.

The North Korea Won Power in 1948!

DPRK: “Officials – Become Communist Revolutionaries – Possessing Party’s Original Spirit & Ideal!” (11.10.2024)

All the officials should embody the Party’s original ideals and spirit, and they should remain faithful to their responsibility and duty as the leading personnel of the revolution in the ongoing drive to open up a golden age for strengthening the whole party and achieving national prosperity.

Filled with greater conviction and mounting morale, we are advancing more vigorously and confidently to bring earlier the victory of socialist and communist construction by carrying forward the invaluable and sacred ideals and spirit.

The intention in pioneering the cause of the Workers’ Party of Korea was a truth, and its victory is a truth as well.

The great soul of our forerunners is encouraging us.

Let us all endeavour to keep up the revolutionary upsurge in the new era by making redoubled efforts to achieve proud results with a strong sense of honour and responsibility as befitting the hard core of the great Party and the leading personnel of the revolution.

Greetings from Behind the Sandbags!

Email: Greetings From Behind the Sandbags – UK Show – Down with the Far-Right! (10.8.2024)

Well, the far-right have has had its moment in the UK – and it has failed – like an infantry assault that ran-out of inherent momentum, purpose, and point. The British public did not rise-up in support of the fascists – and they are slightly confused by this lack of more general support. The (centre-right) Labour government has imprisoned hundreds (mostly “White”) in quick fashion – but this includes some (Asian) Muslim protestors being arrested whilst opposing the far-right and supporting Palestine. Within the media, I notice more  “people of colour” being presented as hunted criminals who are threats to law and order. The Labour government seems to be attempting to placate what it thinks is the “White” majority – who might be disturbed by supposed non-White crime, etc.
