London (Green Park): Canada Memorial (WWI & WWII) – Memorial du Canada! (25.8.2023)

This sculptured memorial is constructed of red granite which forms a ‘walkway’ divided into two distinct halves. One half represents Britain whilst the other half represents Canada and the two country’s joint participation in WWI and WWII. The inclined sculpture is inset with 506 bronze maple leaves (the Canadian emblem) and the country’s coat of arms. Water flows across the sloping surface and creates an illusion of floating leaves. Situated to the rear of the Canada Memorial is Buckingham Palaces,

Why US “Anti-Intellectual” Ignorance Should NOT Be Allowed to Define the Political Horizon! (14.8.2023)

The reward for this ‘Socialist’ sacrifice has been the Bourgeoisie systematically demonising the Socialist presence, the Socialist past and the Socialist future. The Bourgeoisie has showered the very ‘far-right’ the Socialists defeated with all the awards and accolades that were once destined for the Socialist world. The enemy of humanity which was defeated by the Socialists has now been lifted up out of its own ashes and respectfully placed on a pedestal by the Bourgeoisie. The youth of today are trained to ignore the sacrifice of their great grandparents – and instead eulogise the fascist ideology of those they once bravely fought against and gave their lives to stop! The Bourgeoisie does not care just as long as its power remains unchallenged and unchanged. The fascist ‘tickling stick’ lies, lies and lies again to temporarily empower itself whilst always keeping the Bourgeoisie firmly in power. Fascism keeps rising and falling in and upon itself over and over again – as this is the part the Bourgeoisie has assigned to it in this drama. Only the structures of Scientific Socialism reveal the dynamics of this ongoing illusion and explains how such a delusion is to be overcome!

Imperial Germany: Voices of British POWs Recorded During WWI! (24.7.2022)

The sheer ‘localism’ is astonishing! This is a time before globalism and when people came from the places they were born into – places they were not expected to leave throughout their lifetimes. The Germans wanted to use these recordings to train German Colonial Troops – after Germany had won WWI – to invade, settle and control all parts of the UK prior to British culture being usurped, wiped out and eventually replaced with German language and culture!

Sutton: Evening Walk with the Puppies! (8.5.2023)

Indeed, Sutton Council was once ‘forced’ (during the 1990s) to make a public statement to the effect that it recognised and supported the principle of multiculturalism – such was the bad reputation it had regarding accusations of bias, prejudice and blatant racism! This impression was not helped by the fact that the Met Police had also been involved in one or two high profile incidents where it faced Court actions from non-White people subjected racist Police tactics! A Chinese man had telephoned the Police to report that his shop was under siege from members of the far-right. The Police turned-up – greeting the thugs by name – and then ‘arrested’ the Chinese man (giving him a good beating whilst in the back of the van). Luckily, he as very wealthy and was able to pursue this matter in the Courts! Still, it is a lovely evening today on VE Day!

Yelnya: The Soviet Red Army and the First European Defeat Inflicted Upon Nazi Germany During WWII! (18.3.2023) 

‘Nevertheless, the fact that Russia had “allies” – or rather, one major ally, Britain – and that America was going to “help” was of some psychological importance to the Russians, they did not feel entirely alone, and soon after the invasion the thought had become deeply ingrained that the war would be won, no matter how terrible and how long it was. Much was, of course, made of minor military successes, such as the slowing-down of the blitzkrieg at Smolensk (which, curiously, created for several weeks almost a feeling of euphoria, at least in Moscow), and of the small Russian counter-offensive at Yelnya, south of Smolensk in September 1941, when a few hundred square miles were recaptured from the Germans – the first to be recaptured anywhere in Europe since the beginning of the Second World War. At that time, in bombed and half-devastated Vyazna, the future Marshal V. D. Sokolovsky made to the foreign press the significant remark that, fearful as the war was, the Russians were “gradually grinding down” the German war machine, and that in any case Moscow would not be lost.’
