China: From Peasant Uprising to Industrial Revolution – Hero’s Hometown Revived! (15.7.2025)

GUANGZHOU, July 14 (Xinhua) — When tourists arrive at Shanwei, a coastal city in south China’s Guangdong Province, they quickly notice that red is everywhere.

In what is known as the city’s red block, the upper facades of street-side shops selling fish maw, eyeglasses and savory Chinese pancakes are painted in red, accented with touches of yellow — echoing the colors of the flag of the Communist Party of China.

Shanwei is a famous “red land.” It is the birthplace of China’s first Soviet government, the Hai-lu-feng Soviet, established in 1927, and also the hometown of Peng Pai, a Communist hero who led the founding of the government, hailed by Mao Zedong as the “king of peasant uprisings.”

York Watergate - 1626 - Victoria Embankment!

UK: Beautiful London – the York Watergate Our Children Have Played Around! (7.7.2025)

The gate was originally the private riverside entrance to York House, a grand 17th-century mansion owned by the Duke of Buckingham. Think of it as a luxurious mooring point at the bottom of the duke’s garden.

York House itself stood on the Strand, which name literally means ‘shore of the river,’ and was considered one of the finest residences in London. At the time, much of the south side of the Strand was lined with palaces boasting direct access to the Thames.

That all changed with the construction of the Thames Embankment between 1864 and 1870, led by visionary engineer Sir Joseph Bazalgette. The massive project reclaimed land from the river and shifted the shoreline dramatically forward.

You can find a memorial honouring Sir Joseph Bazalgette just a couple of minutes away from Embankment Gardens, by the Thames. He designed the Victoria, Albert and Chelsea Embankments, reclaiming a strip of land in front of Somerset House and York Watergate.

The Watergate was almost lost during this transformation – plans were even drawn up to move it to nearby Whitehall Gardens. But in the end, it was simply abandoned where it stood, left behind as a relic of a river that had retreated.

kim Jong Un Overseas the Launch of New Destroyer!

DPRK: Speech By Kim Jong Un at Launch of Magnificent KPA Naval – Choe Hyon-Class Destroyer No. 2 – “Kang Kon”! (15.6.2025)

Saying that we can step up the revolution in the warship-building industry in earnest at present as we have a strong will and have secured our own reliable forces and great technical power to guarantee it practically, he clarified the defence strategy of our Party and practical measures for the rapid strengthening of the naval forces, including the building of two destroyers, which are of or above the Choe Hyon class, and the deployment of them in operational waters every year from next year according to the constant view of our Navy that aggression can be prevented when it has the counterattack strength and capability.

Stop the Spread of Catholic-Supported Fascism!

US: Mexican Flags Fly in Defiance of Trump Fascism! (12.6.2025)

Incidentally, at that time, the State of New England “protested” about this US invasion of Mexico – referring to it as “un-American” on the grounds that the war with England was supposed to have put an end to this type of blatant imperialist activity. The people of New England threatened to “Secede” from the Union (as was their right) if the US moved forward with this plan. The situation was defused by President Polk – who guaranteed NOT to use any military force (amateur or professional) originating within New England – or comprised of New England men (if recruited outside of New England). This agreement prevented New England from “Seceding” – and effectively rendered that State “neutral” for the duration of hostilities.

Older People Driven to Theft to Survive!

Starmer’s Britain: “Massive Increase” in Pensioner Shoplifting – as Older People Driven to Theft to Survive!! (11.5.2025)

heft within Islam is permitted if it is related to relieving poverty. Indeed, in some Arab States, pristine vending machines are visible on the streets which dispense “free” fresh and good quality food to whoever needs it. Obviously, this attitude has not extended into Judeo-Christian countries – or their secular (capitalist) equivalents. Whilst we contemplate that irony – it might be worth mentioning that people aged 50-63 are not “Pensioners” simply on the grounds that they are not yet retired – or in receipt of Old Age (State) Pension. As various governments keep fiddling with the exact date a person can retire and receive State Pension – the age may now be higher than 64 (the age I remember). Of course, a person can retire at any age below 64 providing they possess an independent means of income – usually a private pension and/or immense savings.

We Must Make Tanks Solid!

DPRK: Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un Gives Field Guidance at Major Tank Factory! (5.5.2025)

The Academy of Defence Sciences and the workers and technicians of the factory, that have made single-minded efforts to carry out the tasks put forth at the Eighth Congress of the WPK on setting it as the pivotal goal of the munitions industry to put the military hardware on an intelligent, precision and highly-efficient basis and on orienting all the processes of research, development and production to its implementation, are making remarkable progress and successes in developing our-style tanks and armoured weapons and improving their combat performance.
