Beef (S1-E3) – I Am Inhabited by a Cry! (13.4.2023) 

Ali Wong might want to consider that this might be ‘why’ birds – (along with every other living creature) were destroyed by the fascistic Americans! I suspect that this line was inserted into the Asian based US comedy drama ‘Beef’ to appeal to the White Americans who have allowed this programme to be made! The programme itself is racist in that it strives to justify and normalise US neo-imperialism by perpetuating the idea that Asians must conform to White racist standards of behaviour whilst actively supporting the US colonies of Taiwan, South Korea and Japan! This includes the destruction of Asian culture and the replacement of Asian religions with right-wing, Protestant Christianity! Asians can only be included in US TV dramas if they refuse to support the independent countries of the land of their ancestors! Long live North Korea, Socialist Vietnam and Communist China!

Philippines: Why the Vatican Ordered Attacks on The Beatles! (7.4.2023) 

In many ways this story of The Beatles exemplifies the era (and contradictions) inherent in the 1960s! There were definitely Revolutionary (dialectical) forces in operation not just in the West – but throughout the world! Paul McCartney would pen a song entitled ‘Back in the USSR’ (about a Cold War Soviet spy returning from service in the US – where he understood just how ‘bad’ life is for the average person living under capitalism) and John Lennon would write a song entitled ‘Revolution’ – and record at least 18 versions of it within which he ‘might’ or ‘might not’ support a violent ‘Revolution’ depending upon how he felt on the day!

Balloon-Gate – China’s Spherical ‘Terrorism’ is Unacceptable – White House Confirms! (19.2.20223) 

The government of China, for its part, has reacted using the unfamiliar French phrase (for most Westerners) of ‘force majeure’ – literally meaning ‘force major’ – more commonly interpreted within International Law as the concept of unseen, unpredictable and unintentional outside interference due to the presence of unexpected ‘major forces’ (in this case – the ‘wind’). The US government, in such circumstances, is supposed to facilitate the safe recovery of the property concerned and return it to its rightful owners (the government of China) – but instead chose the far more ‘illegal’ option of shooting down a ‘blown-off course’ canvas weather balloon using an ‘AIM-9X’ missile – individually worth hundreds of thousands of dollars! The balloon itself cost around $10 to construct. The destruction of this balloon, as immensely public as this spectacle was, signifies for the US Veterans of WWII, Korea and Vietnam, the ‘destruction’ of an enemy they could never quite get to grips with, and which in the case of Korea and Vietnam – inflicted audacious military defeats on one of the world’s leading military nations! The Veterans of the US will sleep soundly in their beds from now on – safe in the knowledge that Uncle Sam takes their racism seriously!  

Making a ‘Living’ Through ‘YouTubing’ is NOT Productive Labour! (25.1.2023) 

‘YouTubing’ is the habitation of a fantasy world made real in images upon a screen. This is exactly the ‘inverted’ world of religion writ large as described by Feuerbach, Marx, Engels and Lenin, etc! In theory, any image, regardless of its positive, negative or neutral construction value, can be made to seem ‘as if it exists’ upon the screen and stimulate the imaginations of all and sundry that happen to allow these images to pass in front of the eye and ear – thus ‘traversing’ the surface of the mind! Whereas the film industry is a tangible profession involving ‘real’ training, qualifications and jobs that guarantee genuine ‘labour’ in the material world – ‘YouTubing’ places this ‘dream-making’ process firmly into the hands of the uneducated and immature masses – telling them that this is ‘reality’ and that no other interpretation exists! The way the entertainment world used to exist (pre-internet) – ensured that ordinary human-beings all inhabited the drab and mundane ‘material’ world and tried our best to traverse its realities and injustices – BEFORE they were able (or allowed) to subject themselves to the ‘inverted’ world of ‘escapism’ and the 90 minutes £5 allotted to get away (just for a moment) from the reality of capitalist existence! All a child has to do now is wake-up and switch-on which ever device happens to be within reach and the ‘inverted’ world of YouTube beckons!
