Australia: New Report Finds People with Disabilities Facing “High Rates of Abuse & Exploitation”! (29.9.2023)

The blogger draws a parallel between the treatment of disabled people in Australia and the controversial policies of the UK’s Tory and LibDems Coalition Government (2010-2015), accused of ‘Crimes Against Humanity’ by a UN investigation for drastic cuts to support for people with disabilities. The blogger notes that this deprivation led to significant fatalities among disabled individuals. They compare the situation to Australia, where a landmark report calls for major reforms to make the country more inclusive for disabled people. The report, based on a four-and-a-half-year inquiry, recommended 222 changes, including passing a Disability Rights Act and ending segregated education by 2051.

Japanese Scholar: “Truths in History Needs to be Told to More People!” (18.9.2023)

According to Matsuno, Japan’s WWII-related records have been transferred to the National Archives of Japan (NAJ) by the Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare, while some diplomatic and military-related documents are kept by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Defense.

Every once in a while, the NAJ would release batches of newly processed historical materials, among which Matsuno spotted the recently discovered documents.

The researcher pointed out that even when new materials are made available, they can remain obscure without substantial expertise and research skills, as searching for information using keywords like “Unit 731” or “epidemic prevention unit” yields little results.

UK: The Issue of Hong Kong ‘Golden Visa’ School Places! (12.9.2023)

As Sutton seems to be a hub for newly arrived ‘Golden Visa’ recipients – the place can be used as a barometer for all the covert policies the UK government is following. Sutton is currently awash with highly aggressive, racist and completely disrespectful (Neo-Nazi) Ukrainians – many of which have been re-housed by Sutton Council in newly built (and ‘gated’) luxury houses and flats – paid for by ourselves, of course, the local taxpayer. Bear in mind these people have contributed NOTHING to this country and currently uphold the very Hitlerite ideology we fought against as a nation during WWII! On top of this privileged anti-British influx are the brainwashed Chinese trouble-makers from Hong Kong – many of whom have been previously educated in the West and seduced by the glitter they think they have encountered.

USSR: Foundations of the Soviet Court! (3.5.2023)

My father – Peter Wyles – used to be friends with a Professor of Law in Devon. As my father helped run the ‘Claimants’ Union’ – he would receive free legal advice from the Professor – who would explain the rules and regulations governing the administration of the British Welfare State. My father – and other people – would then assist the poor and impoverished as they sought to negotiate with the ‘DHSS’ and navigate their way around the Bourgeois legal system designed to ‘exclude’ them (the weakest segment of capitalist society) from securing their ‘Rights’! This is where I first learned that the 1948 Reforms carried-out by the incumbent Labour Government in the UK were premised upon their Soviet counterparts (devised by Lenin and other Old Guard Bolsheviks). Essentially, the Soviets found that collective taxation provided the government with vast amounts of money which allowed the State to provide high-quality assistance to those in need! In turn, millions upon millions of terribly impoverished populations were given free education, healthcare, housing and social help – lifting them out of this state of deprivation in a matter of just one or two

Palestine: Workers Demand Restructuring of the Trade Union Movement to Strengthen Unity for the Struggle on May Day! (1.5.2023)

After seventeen years of division in the Palestinian arena at the political and geographical levels, and what has multiplied it in terms of the costs, burdens, and requirements of life and living – the phenomenon of unemployment and the unemployed has increased! This has been seen especially among the youth and graduates with poverty and extreme poverty becoming a generalized phenomenon – in addition to the increase in the rate of taxes, customs and fees on Goods, the decline in the level of domestic production, the decline in the level and value of exports and the increase in dependence on importing food and industrial goods! This impoverishment has lead to the failure of granting poor families their entitlements from Social Security! In the absence of changing the existing model of power – this situation has harmed all aspects of economic development, social development and healthcare.

The Taxman (1966) – How the Beatles Got it Wrong! (9.11.2023)

Yes – very rich people did pay a substantial amount of their ample incomes as a contribution in this re-distribution of wealth – but the working-class paid much more tax collectively than the middle or upper classes (even though the rate of tax each individual paid was less due to their lower incomes). It is a shame that the four Beatles took the money the British public gave them in reward for their (extraordinary) musical talents – and then ‘refused’ to contribute what amounted to a relatively ‘small’ over-all contribution of their incomes toward the general health of the nation! Later, when John Lennon walked around wearing a ‘Mao Zedong’ badge – perhaps one or two of the Beatles regretted making this track – particularly as the sentiment expressed is inherently ‘right-wing’ and would eventually feed into the fascistic ideology of Margaret Thatcher, Tony Blair and a host of other faceless Tory and Lib-Dems leaders! Since 1979, the Beatles may have been pleased to see the start of the privatisation of the NHS, the selling-off of Council Houses, the closing of hospitals and the dismantling of the Welfare System! Perhaps they were ecstatic when Thatcher abolished ‘free’ University education for the British youth – immediately plunging hundreds of thousands into a lifetime of abject poverty! By applying such right-wing ideology, the Tories and Lib-Dems (according to a UN investigation) murdered over 120,000 people with disabilities between 2010-2016! They achieved this by cutting taxes for the rich and services for the poor – a simple correlation that further enriches the already wealthy whilst simultaneously reducing the life-expectancy of the poor!
