Some aspects of the visit of the Emperor of Japan and his wife to the United Kingdom
At the end of June, the Japanese imperial couple paid a seven-day visit to the United Kingdom. Some aspects of this event and a number of accompanying political events in Japan, which is becoming one of the most important participants in the current stage of the “Great World Game”, are undoubtedly of interest…
Keir Starmer: Who is the UK’s New PM and What’s in Store?
Keir Starmer, the UK’s first Labour prime minister in 14 years, has made many pledges to ‘renew’ the UK after Rishi Sunak’s appalling term. A prolific barrister turned politician, Starmer has seen a steep rise in his political career. He has vowed to make positive changes in the public services that the Brits are currently struggling with. However, with the UK economy in shambles, and a severe lack of funds, it remains to be seen whether he can really change the UK for the better.
The decline of the West
The decline of Western civilisation has been vividly demonstrated in recent days. The debate between the two US presidential candidates on 27 June caused confusion not only in America itself, but also in many European countries, and even caused panic in the US Democratic Party – it became clear that Biden’s physical and cognitive data simply did not allow him to serve another four-year term.
FINALLY, Julian Assange Free on a Guilty Plea Deal, ALMOST 2-Good to be True!
I think the right hand did not know what the left was doing and they both washed their hands of Julian Assange, as what did he do that was so bad? A topic to reflect upon in retrospect, especially in light of the BIGGER scheme of things, and knowing how secret intelligence agencies work, especially how they operate between and against one another—and in the face of changing times and political expediencies.
MI5, Focus on Russia, China, and Iran, like ‘ISIS’* Terrorists have
UK ministers instructed the country’s internal intelligence Body, MI5, to focus on Russia, China, and Iran, and not terrorists as was reported in several outlets (here). The directive suggests that terrorists will not be attacking the UK, despite being resurgent in 2024 and attacking Russia’s Crocus Mall, Iran, and Chinese citizens in Pakistan in attacks killing hundreds of civilians. Why is the UK letting down guards on terrorists and training guns on countries targeted by extremists?
Macron, Sullivan and now Cameron are the agents of Russophobia and Chinaphobia in ’Inner Asia’
D. Cameron’s trip, which took place in the last decade of April 2024, was the first ever consecutive visit of the UK Secretary of State for Foreign…
Britain At War-The Final Warning
On May 26, 2023, I wrote an article titled, Britain At War-Provoking the Consequences, attempting to warn the people of Britain and the West that their role in the war against Russia makes them a direct party to the conflict and that, as a consequence, Russia has the right to attack them. It seems the warning has to be repeated because the British, along with the rest of the NATO alliance of aggression, have increased their direct role in the Ukraine conflict…
Erik Prince goes Off Leash: US-UK Stuck in Colonial Mentality
Scholars have noted ongoing neocolonialism, in which former colonial governments and their corporations extract value from Africa’s resources without commensurately benefiting Africans (here, here). However, the US and Western Europeans’ strategy to recolonize Africa has escaped scholars and leaders from the Global south. Western leaders have meticulously concealed this goal, but indiscrete ones such as Boris Johnson and Erik Prince have revealed it…
UK Unveils “Lethal” Challenger 3, Failing to Learn Lessons from Ukraine
The United Kingdom’s Ministry of Defense announced that the “UK’s most lethal tank” has rolled off the production line. The same statement would claim that British Army soldiers are “one step closer to getting their hands on one of Europe’s most lethal tanks – the Challenger 3.” However, with few exceptions, the details of the Challenger 3 main battle tank produced under a nearly $990 million contract with Rheinmetall BAE Systems provides only…
BATUK: British Army ‘Tainting Unit in Kenya’ or Tropical Sex Holiday Home?
It is customary for the UK foreign ministry and the Ministry of Defense (MoD) to boast how the country assist its allies including Kenya to maintain security by training the latter’s military and police and also deploying soldiers in these allies’ territories. London has repeatedly insisted on its ally Kenya to sigh ‘defense’…
Making a Case for Recognition of London’s Syndrome
The appropriate name for the UK’s behavior of clinging to its former colonies and herding them to advance its neocolonial goals can be understood through reviewing Stockholm’s Syndrome: London behaves like the extreme version of the captors in this story. Stockholm’s Syndrome attained its name from strange behavior exhibited by victims that developed empathy and sympathy for their captors, and London as a former captor of colonies tried to conjure up a misplaced sense of partnership with its former colonies, now hostages…
The Economist argues strongly against raising taxes on the rich
The income gap between the rich and the poor remains the biggest global problem facing human society as a whole. After the collapse of the USSR (whose social achievements served as a powerful incentive for the poor to fight for their rights in the developed world), there were no moral constraints and the rich went on a rampage: the number of not only millionaires but also billionaires increased dramatically. The gap between the richest and the poorest grew ever wider…
