SIGAR: American Report Reveals “US Blunders” in [Failed] Two-Decade-Long Afghanistan Invasion! (2.2.2026)

It may be that the US invasion of Afghanistan will be historically viewed (when analysed objectively) as a far more comprehensive “defeat” for American neo-imperialistic intentions than either the US invasion of Korea (partly in 1945 in the South at the end of WWII – and then in the North between 1950-1953) and Vietnam (either covertly or overtly) between 1955-1975. The US mentality involves throwing bullets and money at problems – but considering the fact the US possessed weaponry of a far more advanced and destructive capability than the malnourished enemy (which carried rusty AK-47s – and were motivated by Islamic and Islamo-fascist ideology) – it is astonishing that after “20-years” – no military victory was won and no political socio-economic vision was accomplished. The US reduces countries to rubble (just look at Libya and Syria) – and refers to this wanton destruction as “freedom” (since 1945 to present – the US has killed around 30-million people around the world in the name of this “freedom”). When the Russians betrayed their Revolution in 1991 – the US was permitted to steal billions from the Soviet economy the workers had spent decades earning and establishing. Between 1991-2001 – around 10 million Russians died of starvation, homelessness, and medical neglect as a caring and uplifting Socialism was replaced by an uncaring (predatory) capitalism. This disaster was ignored in the West and viewed as “normal”. Only the rise of Putin saved the Russian people and put a post-Soviet Russia on an even keel.

Rutland - Market Overton - Ancient Village Stocks!

Rutland: Ancient Village Stocks & Whipping Post on Market Overton Green! (25.10.2025)

In the old days, the local Courts would often sentence local people to a set-time in the Stocks. With their hands and feet firmly manacled into the device – the interested village population could take it in-turns to throw rotten fruit and vegetables – together with animal waste and other such horrible substances, at the condemned. This was at a time when long sentences of imprisonment were not yet used as a punishment. This treatment was designed to be so humiliating that a villager would not dare commit a similar crimnal act in the future – or at least that was the intention.

Australians Take Illicit Drugs to Numb the Pain of Capitalism!

Australia: Wastewater Analysis Reveals Record-High Levels of Illicit Drug-Taking! (15.8.2025)

ACIC Chief Executive Officer Heather Cook said in a statement that the consumed volume of methylamphetamine, cocaine, heroin and MDMA had an estimated street value of 11.5 billion Australian dollars (7.4 billion U.S. dollars), with methylamphetamine accounting for 8.9 billion Australian dollars (5.7 billion U.S. dollars).

“Serious and organized crime groups exploit Australia’s high demand for illicit drugs and are focused on maximising profit at the expense of the community’s security and wellbeing,” she said.

ACIC said its modelling suggests that increasing consumption of methylamphetamine, cocaine and MDMA will continue through to 2027, while the heroin market is not expected to change significantly for the next two years.

Krispy Kreme: I’ve Just Entered the Twilight Zone…! (28.9.2024)

This coffee was worse than the cheapest economy coffee I have been given on cheap airlines – or when eating in greasy-spoon cafes. My doughnut was supposed to contain raspberry jam as a filling – but I was left trying to eat a large ball of badly cooked dough – (empty of any filling) until I reached the extremity of one side. Then a slither of raspberry jam-syrup presented itself (about the size of a match-stick) – but I had to wash-down this monstrosity with a cup of f’ckning awful coffee! My eldest daughter – Mei-An – refused to finish a milkshake which tasted of nothing whatsoever – and seemed to be made merely cold e-numbers in a cup! A cup of non-descript chemicals, no less. Still, we put a brave face on it – as if we were in the “Blitz” – and the Nazi German bombing will not break our spirit of resistance! This was a thoroughly weird and mystifying experience considering how much this US firm charges us – British people – to frequent their premises and taste their wares! Obviously, I am a man of considerably compromise. Should a Krispy Kreme Executive feel compelled to offer my family a voucher of some kind – then I would be more than willing to accept this gift and moderate my tome! I will not hold my breath…

China’s Reusable Suborbital Carrier Makes Second Successful Flight! (28.8.2022)

The capitalist ideology is wasteful, polluting and its inherent ‘short-termism’ can only lead to the degradation of the planet and its tenuously balanced eco-system! Enhanced profits for the already rich – that’s it! Capitalism has nothing else to offer humanity! Oh, and along the way it will commit the destruction of the eco-system and everything that lives in it (including human beings)! Reality does not have to be this way! Indeed, ‘Socialist’ China is offering the world a different path – one defined by compassion, care and scientific advancement!

China Produces the World’s First Bio-Degradable Shoes! (19.8.2022)

The human mind equals one type of ‘self-aware’ body (emanating from the brain), the physical body is the environment the ‘mind’ (brain) inhabits, and this body exists in a ‘third-body’ – which is the (material) physical environment! Through industry humanity has produced a tremendous amount of wastage – most of which is poisonous or damaging to the environment, the living creatures inhabiting the environment, and detrimental to human health and longevity!
