Sutton: Visiting the Carshalton Water Tower! (24.9.2023)

As immense wealth was generated through the labour of the exploited masses (which involved the development of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade) a privileged middle-class developed – particularly after the English Civil Wars of the 1640s. This development saw the successful transference of the control of the ‘means of production’ (and political power) from the Aristocracy (the upper-class) to the Bourgeoisie (the middle-class) and with it the unleashing of tremendous creative force (a process magnified enormously by the ‘discovery’ of the Americas and the effective stealing of immense tracts of ‘free’ land and other resources)! Of course, the spread of British power and influence throughout other countries of the world – including Africa and Asia – opened all kinds of diverse markets which spread commodities to the four corners of the earth!

Making Sense of Homo Naledi – Emails & Notes! (22.8.2023)

For some reason, the US freelance team dealing with this find are deliberately providing disinformation when rhetorically describing their finds (in an apparent attempt to boost financial gain through the encouragement of sentimentality). The mainstream academics featured in the above video – are correct in their criticism and approach. The ‘No Hypothesis’ must predominate if reliable ‘objective’ science is to be established, maintained and developed. The opposite is the ‘Yes Hypothesis’ found in religion and dogmatic philosophy and ideology. Merely believing that something ‘exists’ (or ‘operates’) in the physical world does not make it so. Simply ‘desiring’ or ‘wanting’ something to be a certain way in the interior of the mind – does NOT make it so in the (outer) material world (developed through cause and effect) in any way!

DPRK: September 8th 1948 – the 75th Anniversary of the Founding of the North Korean Socialist State! (15.9.2023)

All participants once again deeply embraced the conviction that proud victory, glory, and endless prosperity will unfold in the future of our Republic thanks to the excellent ideology and leadership of the Great Leader and the united power of the popular masses firmly united around the Party Central Committee!

The Central Reporting Conference to celebrate the 75th Anniversary of the founding of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea upholds the ideology and leadership of great Comrade Kim Jong Un with single-minded loyalty, raises the banner of our nation-first principle, further strengthens and shines with the dignity and national power of Socialist Korea – and builds a bright future for the Juche powerhouse. It powerfully demonstrated the Revolutionary spirit of the entire people and the soldiers of the People’s Army who will move forward together! (End)

Email: Torquay Museum – Japanese Battle Kite! (29.8.2023)

At the above link I have added a blog post to our family martial arts website regarding this medieval Japanese battlefield ‘kite’! It resides in the Torquay Museum in South Devon and even when we visited – there was not the usual plaque giving the provenance of this piece – other than a description of what it is. I have written to the Museum to see if I can clear-up the mystery as to the origins of this artefact. As maters stand, this is a bamboo and material device that acts as a ‘kite’ able to lift a grown man of the era into the air whilst carrying a bow and supply of arrows! He is barefoot and stands on a single bamboo pole whilst his body is held in place by two crossed baboo poles in the centre of the device!

Laos Buddhist-Socialist Republic: Correct Use & Management of Online Data! (12.8.2023)

Mr. Somsawat Phongsa also stated that social media has both a positive and negative aspect related to the contemporary way of human life. The positive aspect is that it helps to communicate all types of data quickly – so that contemporary world events can be recognized within minutes. At the same time, there are still a number of people who do not know (or are not aware of) how social media can be used in the wrong way – such as broadcasting information that distorts the truth and which is intended to benefit themselves at the expense of harming others.
