Execution of King Charles I - Charlie Hit in the Neck!

On Why Charlie Was Killed With a Blow to the Neck – I Cannot Remain Silent Any Longer! (12.9.2025)

This privileged section of the peasantry left the majority of its class behind as the aristocracy granted it ever greater levels of political influence and social dominance. Eventually, this new “Middle Class” was trusted with procuring weaponry and hiring fighting men for the nobility – a position the bourgeoisie eventually used for its own empowerment. This is why across Europe numerous Civil Wars broke-out between the bourgeoisie and the nobility – with each vying with the other to attract the peasantry to their respective banners. In the case of the English Civils Wars (three conflicts that occurred in the 1640s and 1650s) – Parliament had been slowly infiltrated by bourgeois Members of Parliament (MPs) over a long period of time. These individuals played-ball for decades before showing their true class colours and finally taking on the English State.

US: 60 Years Later, Voting Rights Act Protections for Minority Voters Face New Threats! (7.8.2025)

Contrary to decades of precedent, Republican state officials in at least 15 states contend that private individuals and groups do not have the right to sue to enforce Section 2 because they are not explicitly named in the landmark law’s text. Only the head of the Justice Department, they argue, can bring this kind of lawsuit.

The issue is at the heart of a North Dakota legislative redistricting case that was brought by two tribal nations. A federal appeals court ruled against the Native American voters, and the case may be up for a full review soon at the Supreme Court. The justices may also be preparing to take up a broader question about the constitutionality of Section 2 protections, based on an order last week for legal briefs in a Louisiana congressional redistricting case originally filed by Black voters.

Reaction & Religion Go Hand in Hand!

UK: The Kind Idiocy of Mary Augusta Ward [1851-1920]! (24.3.2025)

It is incredible that someone such as Bishop Smith thinks that Mary Ward – the co-founder of the “National Women’s Anti-Suffrage League” – is a person worthy of remembering when she dedicated her life to preventing society from developing – a process which required the lifting of the religious ignorance that had dominated the West for over a thousand years. Furthermore, the White, middle-class and thoroughly “male” interpretation of Christianity Bishop Smith and Ward seem to be peddling has virtually nothing to do with the teachings of Jesus Christ – and has more in common with the ramblings of St Paul – a fantasist who never met Jesus. The situation is probably more confusing than even this – as many of the letters ascribed to Paul – particularly the misogynistic editions – are thought to be forgeries.

Two Cheeks of the Same Arse!

UK: Trump and Galloway – Two Cheeks of the Same Arse! (22.1.2025)

Of course, this is not the first time Galloway has been failed by the social conservatism he uses to deploy his far-right rhetoric, as he is currently married to a woman who is 30-years his junior (he was 30 when she was born), and always wears a hat in-doors to cover-up his loss of hair (wearing a head-cover in-doors in the UK is the height of bad manners). Both Trump and Galloway are defined by their far-right political viewpoints, their misogynistic attitudes, their casual racism, their homophobia and transphobia, and their continuous appealing toward the Trotskyite (pseudo) left for vindication. They share a far-right political agenda that is premised upon deceiving and manipulating the working-class into orchestrating its own demise. Do not support Galloway or the latest incarnation of his ego – the so-called “Workers’ Party” (his previous “Respect Party” was hijacked by Islamicists – who then attempted to oust him from it). Remember, even his old chum Jeremy Corbyn not only refused to allow Galloway back into the Labour Party – but in recent years has “banned” Galloway from sharing a platform with him at public Pro-Palestinian protests. Two-cheeks of the same arse indeed!

Far-Right Attack on Black Statue!

St Thomas NHS Hospital: Fascist Desecration of “Mary Seacole” Statue! (15.8.2024)

Essentially, the situation comes down to this. The adherence of fascist ideology lack self-control. The fascists lack the ability to think good and clear thoughts and to act in a decisive and constructive manner. The irregular functioning of their thought processes is manifest in the illogical movements of their bodies. All sense of logicality is lost from start to finish. Such individuals are NOT happy with the present moment they exist within – and want to tear down the familiar. Like all religionists – the fascist thinks that a different world exists beyond that which can be experienced every day – and that a special person will emerge from the masses (a new Hitler, Mussolini or Hirohito) that possesses an innate (religious-like) ability to put all things right and remove all unwanted people (and signs of their presence) from society.
