Wow Signal 1977

Email: What Was the 1977 “Wow Signal”? (4.7.2026)

The signal had travelled around 220 light-years – meaning its journey began in the year 1757 (a reply would take a similar length of time – suggesting an all-round trip of 440 light-years). To arrive at earth in such a powerful state means that its source technology would have to be extraordinarily powerful whilst boosting the signal as it traversed interstellar space. If it was the product of natural phenomena, then it was a process that scientists did not yet understand at the time. However, many assume this signal to be artificial in nature, and deliberate in intent – as it was designed to reach earth and to be received and understood by those on earth. As technology as improved immeasurably, this frequency has been observed and re-observed – with nothing found.

England Players Ask Manager "Which Side of the Ball Should We Kick?"

UK: BBC Sphincter “Opens” To Devastating Affect! (4.7.2026)

Furthermore, middle-class parents worked in professions where having unofficial and discreet “time-off work” during school hours was fairly normal and expected – a sort of “perk” due to their social position. I know this, as I know live in one of these middle-class areas – where parents are expected to man-mark their children throughout the day and protect them from light, dark, insects, wind, rain, and whatever else might unexpectedly come their way. Nothing must hinder their smooth entry and egress to and from school each day. In other working-class areas – the tradition of being “duffed-up” at break-times or going-home times still prevails. Mexico, as a co-host, and a much more steadier footballing nation (Mexico played in the first FIFA World Cup in 1930 and has hosted or co-hosted the tournament three-times – but has never won it) should see-off England. England is world class at the front – but the English defence is about as reliable as the water-tight doors on the Titanic! Of course, England might surprise us, but either-way, playing an England match at 1am in the morning is ludicrous and disrespectful to the country that founded football and gave the sport to the world. Children staggering into school the next day is just very poor form indeed – but here we all are!

Cuba: President Miguel Díaz Canel: “Whoever Rises-Up for the Cuban People – Rises-Up for All Time – What is Being Done to Cuba Can Be Done to Anyone!” (4.7.2026)

LDJ: Taking into account this recent history of aggression against Venezuela, against Iran, while these negotiations were taking place, is there fear in Cuba that, at the same time that they are trying to dialogue with the United States, they are plotting?

MDC: There is a perception in Cuba that there is a danger of aggression. A danger of aggression, because they are constantly saying it. We are not saying it, they are saying it.

We have mobilized the population for defense. Every Friday is National Defense Day. The people are preparing. We have updated all the plans for the defense readiness.

We have the example of what it means to know how to defend oneself: the 32 combatants in Venezuela. Those did fight. They were able to stop the action of an elite force of the United States that surpassed them in technology, in numbers, in weapons and, in addition, because of the element of surprise. And yet, they fought heroically. There were thirty-two of them. What will not become of millions of Cubans willing to defend their homeland, to defend the Revolution?

Slave Master on his Throne

US: What Where the Black & White Minstrels? (2.7.2026)

From the 1940s onward, a progressive trend in Minstreling permitted real black men to participate on stage – often along side white actresses. It must be born in mind that plantations existed well into the early 20th century. Slaves cannot help being uneducated because that is the state that the slave-master demands (knowing less is believed to make a person more easily controllable). On stage, the “interlocuter” would sit on a central throne and control the entire show. He is in fact the “slave-master” – and his slaves sit all around him – like obedient soldiers. Why the seats? Well, the “crackers” – the white security guards with whips (stood in the aisles) – preferred that the slaves be seated (and in one place for as long as possible) until it was their turn to perform. These crackers, although hidden, probably numbered as high as the performers just in case the slave-master (or his white assistants) were attacked at any point in the show. When blacked-up white men took the place of the slaves, the risk of attack disappeared, but the organisation used to control the slaves was retained on stage as an important feature of the entertainment itself. It is interesting to consider that popular music, in all its genres, is believed to have evolved out of the Minstreling tradition.

There are ongoing concerns over St Andrew's Healthcare in Northampton

UK: Private Sector Hospital Caught “Beating Patients” – Handed-Over to NHS! (2.7.2026)

Since the collapse of the USSR in 1991, this project has intensified in vigour. Unions have been legally disempowered, and welfare systems dismantled – leading to intense poverty and workers with no rights. To be clear – ALL mainstream political parties (and the fringe far-right versions) – are all wedded to this attack upon the working-class (mass immigration is part of this attack – as it ensures the maintenance of cheap labour and the corroding of workers’ rights). Now, as the NHS collapses, patient care is at an all-time low – so how bad must “private” healthcare be in the UK if its failing institutions are being handed-over to the NHS due to “safety concerns”? The ill, the young, and the elderly are being treated terribly because of the pro-US policies being pursued by the UK Establishment and it makes you wonder what was the point of fighting and winning WWII against German fascism – when US fascism is allowed into the UK via the back-door! It does not matter who we vote for – as there is an agreement (behind the scenes) between all parties to continue the policy regardless of who is in power! Getting out the EU was only half the battle – but the bourgeoisie prevented the election of the far-left government the UK so desperately needed under Jeremy Corbyn (to shut the borders and re-empower the Unions and the workers) – and here we are in this post-Covid mess!

Battle of Newton Station

CSA: Battle at Newton Station – April 24th 1863! (1.7.2026)

Although I am no fan of the right-wing (racist) actor – John Wayne – the 1959 film entitled “The Horse Soldiers” covers the so-called “Battle at Newton Station” which unfolded on April 24th, 1863 – and took place in Mississippi. This involved the penetration of the South in the Western Theatre by Col. Benjamin Grierson (1826-1911) and his Union Cavalry Unit. The idea was to commit acts of terrorism and sabotage toward the CSA and its train network – so that it could not easily transport troops and supplies around the country. As Cavalry acted as a light and highly mobile infantry – these troops often turned-out to be highly effective in this role. The clip I have added above is from the film “The Horse Soldiers” and depicts Confederate troops arriving by train at the station and launching what they thought to be a surprise attack. From what records survive, it is said that the CSA lost around 25 men – but this number could have been higher. I am told that Confederate charges like this – from trains – did take place on more than one occasion.
