Gary Younge, a sociology professor at the University of Manchester, once commented that dollars play a decisive role in U.S. politics. He wrote, “U.S. elections: no matter who you vote for, money always wins.”

In 1863, the ideal democratic government of the United States was depicted by then-U.S. President Abraham Lincoln in his landmark Gettysburg Address as the “government of the people, by the people, for the people.”

More than 150 years later, the fig leaf of democracy can no longer cover up the corruption of the American political system. Kishore Mahbubani, a Singaporean scholar, put it best in his book The Asian 21st Century. “Americans are proud of their democratic political system. But the facts show that America has increasingly come to resemble a plutocracy, where society is governed of the 1%, by the 1%, for the 1%.”

Why I Have No Time (Or ‘Data’) for Shoshana Zuboff! (1.11.2022) 

We as ordinary workers (Proletariat) must interpret capitalism from one generation to the next, on our own (using Marx) whilst not being reliant upon the privileged bourgeoisie to tell us what to think or how to act! This explains why this book is a favourite of Barack Obama – America’s so-called first ‘Black’ President – a man who funded, armed the illegal overhrow of the (democratically elected) Ukrainian government in early 2014 – and supoorted (in its place) the ‘Neo-Nazi’ Euro-Maidan Junta! This Neo-Nazi Junta murdered 10-15 thousand Ukrainian and Russian people living in Donbass between 2014-2022 (according to UN figures) – using recruits from the worldwide ‘White Supremacy’ Movement with arms provided by the US, UK and EU! Obama’s Administration also voted against numerous UN attempts to criminalise the glorification of Neo-Nazism! Zuboff and Obama are hardly the role models the working-class should be listening to or following!

South Korea: US Colonisation Not Going to Plan! (30.10.2022)

Since 1945, the US has pursued a vicious (militarised) policy of brutal colonisation and the wiping-out of indigenous Korean religion and spirituality – in a futile attempt to prevent the growth of ‘Socialist’ ideology amongst the ethnic Korean people living to the ‘South’ of the 38th Parallel! The intensity of this destructive policy increased considerably in 1953 following the US defeat during the US War of Aggression in Korea (1950-1953)! White, Christian Missionaries roam completely unopposed throughout South Korea – encouraging the young to abandon the traditions of their parents and grandparents as part of the process of the destruction of their indigeous culture! This includes Americanisation in everyway – and the enforced importation of the US distortion of the ancient (Pagan) ritual of ‘Ancestor Worship’ from Celtic Europe! All Hallows Eve not only has very little to do with contemporary European culture – but its modern variant of ‘Halloween’ has absolutely NO place within South Korea! The only hope for South Korea is the full Unification with North Korea!

Titanic: No Golliwogs Were Saved! (27.10.2022)

Walter Lord points out that all Asians were assumed to be ‘stowaways’ – and ‘Japanese’ for reasons not entirely clear (I have written elsewhere about the eight ‘Chinese’ passengers aboard who were technically ‘British’ subjects) – with the ‘White’ British expressing dislike for the twenty or so ‘Italian’ waiters working in one of the special restuarants on board. (These men were ‘locked’ into their restuarant and drowned – never being let out). Black people are not ‘toys’ for White children to play with – plain and simple. Imagine teaching your children that another ethnicity is nothing but a passive object that exists to entertain your curiosities, desires and perhaps even perversities! Even today in the UK there are still White people who think these racist dolls are acceptible and even justify selling them in their shops!

Hate Crime Reports in U.S. Chicago Surge! (25.10.2022)

“The fear runs deep through some of Chicago’s most prominent communities: Black, Asian, LGBTQ+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender), and Jewish,” said ABC7 in its report of the data from the city’s Commission on Human Relations.

During the pandemic, Asian Americans faced increased incidents of bias-related attacks, noted the report, adding that eight of the 125 total hate crimes being investigated by Chicago police this year were against Asians, a number city leaders fear is far under-reported.

“The number of hate crimes reported in Chicago increased by 44 percent compared to this time in 2021,” said the report.

The state of Illinois has reactivated a group similar to the Human Rights Commission in Chicago, that is looking at ways to increase reporting of potential hate crimes, and strengthen legislation against offenders, it added.
