Galmptom Traction Engine

Galmpton: Encountering a Superb Traction Engine! (1.8.2024)

Indeed, what Goldsworthy Gurney first envisioned as an “Automobile” to be driven on open roads – became widely known as a “Traction Engine” from around 1850 in the UK. Ironically, whilst carry a single driver on country roads – whilst moving between farming fields – these devices were not allowed to evolve into the Motor Car envisioned by Goldsworthy Gurney. Only much later would a petrol-driven motor car be allowed to be developed. Whilst driving back from Exeter to Galmpton on Friday evening (Friday, August 1st, 2024) – whilst traversing the narrow streets of Galmpton – we encountered the above “Traction Engine” which was apparently joining many other examples in a local fayre that was about to be held! How lucky we were!

Deconstructing Anatole A. Klyosov – A Good Soviet Mind Regressed by Predatory Capitalism! (10.6.2023) 

Anatole A. Klyosov (Анато́лий Алексе́евич Клёсов) was born on November 20th, 1946 – just over a year after the mighty Soviet victory over Adolf Hitler in the war mentioned above! He would have been 7-years old when Joseph Stalin died (in 1953) – and 10-years old When Khrushchev manoeuvred his way into power in 1956. Anatole A. Klyosov, however, would grow-up in the Socialist (Soviet) System and become a renowned biochemist. All his work up to 1991 was outstanding, remarkable and praiseworthy. Following the collapse of the USSR in 1991, the US flooded the post-Soviet space with far-right ideology and the most intense (and stupid) religiosity. This was designed to break up the Soviet notions of class unity, solidarity and internationalism! These attributes had to be replaced with individualism, selfishness, racism and nationalism! After 1991, Anatole A. Klyosov travelled to the US and was acquainted with ‘White’ racist notions that privilege the European ethnicity. His ‘White’ American friends introduced him to the chaos and injustice of US society and explained to him that the reason non-White people behave the way they do is NOT because of the historical, cultural or political injustices they have been subjected to over centuries – but rather because of their deficient genetic heritage (pseudo-science)! This observation is important for what is to come next.
