Education: Preparing the Trough and Batting-Off the Bourgeois Piggies! (26.4.2023) 

Marx and Engels clearly saw through the capitalist system – and its representatives have been trying to get over the shock ever since! As for myself, I readily ‘share’ whatever academic and personal research I see fit. As a published (magazine and journal) author, and after appearing in the odd book, I understand that the Bourgeoisie controls society by withholding knowledge from the working-class and hindering its dissemination. As a working-class scholar (the product of a ‘Socialist’ Britain) – I share what I see fit through the internet – the path of least resistance and maximum effect. The data is presented ‘free’ at the point of encountering for the collective working-class to use as it sees fit (for its own empowerment). This is a matter of dialectical interaction that only looks forward and never becomes stuck in the present – and is not overly concerned about a past that no longer exists. As working-class dialectics is robust enough for the Soviet Red Army to take on all the combined and congealed ‘evil’ of Nazi Germany (and her allies) and prevail – it is incumbent upon us individual workers to display exactly the same adaptability within all circumstances! As the little ‘Bourgeois’ piggies come scampering to the trough – I will be keeping an eye on them…

Bonnie Prince Charlie: King James III, King Henry IX & Queen Maria Clementina of Great Britain, France & Ireland! (23.4.2023)

As matters transpired, the Pope over-ruled ‘King Henry IX’ and finally recognised Bonnie Prince Charlie as ‘King Charles III’ on his deathbed – just as he drew his last breath. I assume that the Pope believed this would allow him to enter Catholic Heaven as a ‘King’ – in recognition of his services to the Vatican – if indeed that was what they were (as I am not convinced this was his primary motivating drive). The thousands of Gaelic-speaking, kilted Scotsman who fought with sword and shield against musket, canon and bayonet were surely fighting for something far more visceral. Having visited the Battlefield of Colluden a number of times (and run across it as the Clansman did) this remains my viewpoint today! These brave and great Clansman ‘stood’ for nearly an hour whilst British canons blew their bodies into tiny pieces! They then initiated a Highland Charge after displaying such iron bravery the likes of which is rare throughout the history of military affairs! Surely reminiscent of the Spartans and the Zulu at their absolute best! Whatever the case, as the true ‘Celts’ of Britain – we lit incense sticks out of respect and placed them on the burial mounds representing each ‘Clan’! Hundred were killed in the fighting and then the British (government) soldiers bayonetted the wounded – rolling all the bodies into mass graves denoted by the differing colour of tartan (an institution inflicted by the British so that the various Clans could be easily ‘distinguished’).

Xinhua Commentary: America’s Toxic Relations with Allies-Xinhua! (23.4.2023)

In essence, the so-called alliance system established by the United States is to rule the world and reap its interests globally. Many of its allies have realized that blindly following in the footsteps of the United States will only lead to a loss in the end.

The United States demands its allies follow suit in containing China, but mostly receives only hesitation as a response. According to the U.S.-based Politico news service, any move Europe does make could fall far short of what the Biden administration wants in terms of isolating China economically.

“The leaders of Europe’s largest economies are openly saying they are not interested in decoupling and by extension, meaningful sanctions on China in the event of conflict,” Politico quoted a U.S. official who requested anonymity as saying.

In a rapidly changing international landscape, the United States faces numerous challenges regarding its economy and people’s livelihoods. Its hegemonic aspirations are starting to weaken, and its so-called “commitments” to allies ring hollow.

Those who unite for profit will scatter when profits are exhausted. The current U.S. alliance system has been plagued by frequent leaks and flaws, and although the facade remains intact, its internal structure has begun to crack.

UK Deputy PM Resigns After Bullying Allegations! (22.4.2023)

After assuming the post of prime minister last October, Sunak vowed to lead a government of “integrity, professionalism, and accountability” as the chaotic period under his two predecessors — the scandal-hit Boris Johnson and Liz Truss, who had a short-lived tenure due to economic turbulence — damaged the reputation of the Tory Party and cast a cloud over its prospects in the next general elections.

Keir Starmer, leader of the main opposition Labour Party, said Raab’s resignation showed Sunak’s “continual weakness” as the prime minister should have sacked Raab instead of letting him resign.

“No matter how many times you change the person at the top, you’ve essentially got a party that just can’t deliver, just can’t govern,” Starmer told reporters.

Oliver Dowden, chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, has been appointed as the new deputy prime minister. Alex Chalk, currently serving as minister of state in the Ministry of Defence, has been named as Raab’s successor in the post of justice secretary.

Ancient Monuments: Christmas and Malden Island – British & US Nuclear Tests (1957-1962)

Meanwhile, it would seem that the numerous stone temples, wells, tombs, living spaces, walled enclosures and even paved roads (leading into the sea) are a product of the spreading of Polynesian (Oceania) culture throughout the area – with between 100-200 individuals settling on the island after travelling in boats some three to four thousand miles! Competing theories include the idea that these structures were built by exploring Chinese people!

Croydon Aerodrome: The 1928 Disappearance of Alfred Loewenstein! (20.4.2023)

His wife and his four employees all agreed that when returning from a visit to the toilet (situated at the rear of the aeroplane) during the flight – Alfred Loewenstein mistakenly opened the only door in the aeroplane – adjacent to the toilet – (whilst flying over the English Channel) – a misjudgement that caused him to fall 4000 feet to his death! The Pilot and Engineer were sat in the cockpit at the front the aeroplane and had no idea what was happening toward the back – certainly no alarm had gone off and there had been no sudden depressurisation of the interior! Incredibly, the British Pilot –  Donald Drew – (once alerted to the situation) managed to immediately land the aeroplane on a nearby beach (under the direct control of the French military). After being released by the French military he then successfully navigated the aeroplane (and its occupants) to the airfield at Saint-Inglevert, Pas-de-Calais – also in France.
