Lenin's 1921 Pravda article "The Importance of Gold now and after the Complete Victory of the Revolution"

Feel like shit, just want it back

...As told to you by bourgeois funded academics

Believe it or not, but the world isn't simply comprised of goodies and baddies. We don't live in a Marvel movie.

"Putler" springs to mind

That Saddam Hussein and Adolf Hitler were the same person.

Hidden microphones and transmitters have been a standard thing on all cars sold in the EU since 2018. It's been set up as a safety feature...

It looks like there's no better time than now to be getting into production though tbh. You can get cheap equipment now that perfectly recreates the effects of stuff that would literally burn a £5000 hole in your wallet before.

No, what you don't have time for is confronting inconvenient truths that fly in the face of your political agenda.

Again, as previously stated I am not downplaying this incident. It happened and it was terrible. If you're not really just a coward ducking my point (Which I think you are) and you actually think that's the case then I challenge you to point out how I'm doing so. This was a serious incident and many people died; don't you think that the people who actively provoked the confrontation between students and soldiers should face up to what they've done?

If you're asking for my personal opinion then I'd say the US is a great deal worse than anything China has done since they took their country back, actually. It's not even remotely close.

What's "telling" is the way people such as yourself latch onto anything the western media has to say about America's geopolitical rivals, in spite of any and all the evidence to the contrary; regardless of the credibility of any of the sources. I mean, are you honestly just going to lap up whatever western media outlets tell you? The guys that told you Iraq undeniably had WMDs? The cynical scum bags who banged the drum about Gaddafi and have subsequently shrugged their shoulders while Libya now wallows with open air slave markets? Those are your respectable sources? You're going to hang off of every word from weirdo crooks like Adrian Zenz, born-again Christian "China experts" who publicly declare they're on a mission from God to defeat communism in China? That's the sort of "impartial" source you're prepared to die on a hill for? Or maybe its teenagers speculating over satellite photography they pulled up from Google maps?

Here's something I find telling; that you won't engage whatsoever with the point I raised in response to you trying to grandstand over the Tiananmen incident; that you swivelled on a dime from gleefully using a massacre as a political football to clutching your pearls that someone dared to bring information to the table that contextualises that event into something more than the simplistic good vs evil narrative you were going for. Do yourself a favour and actually listen to what Chai Ling has to say; it's been independently verified and held up in a libel case she brought against the journalists when it came to light, so you can rest assured its legitimate. Stop and think about what it really means for the student leader of those killed at Tiananmen to outright admit they were trying to get their supporters massacred after actively blocking attempts to disperse peacefully. Consider the potential significance that she was literally extracted out of her country by the intelligence services of China's biggest geopolitical rivals. If you're genuinely appalled with all the death from this event, don't you think she and her benefactors have something to answer for? Or do you suppose its the place of the United States or Great Britain to stir up trouble in other countries, to dictate who should be in charge there and how their countries should be run?

I haven't stated an opinion either way. I've simply provided additional context to a historical event you chose to bring up. Why do you feel the need to respond to it in such a kneejerk manner and ascribe my motives? Does the context I've provided make you feel uncomfortable in some way?

I have neither dismissed nor denied that a terrible incident happened at Tiananman square on the late hours of June 3rd 1989. I wish for those responsible for plotting and catalysing the incident to face justice for their crimes.

The troops advanced into central parts of Beijing on the city’s major thoroughfares in the early morning hours of 4 June and engaged in bloody clashes with demonstrators attempting to block them, in which many people – demonstrators, bystanders, and soldiers – were killed.

Here's a video of an interview with Chai Ling recorded on May 28, 1989 with reporter Philip Cunningham. Chai Ling was arguably the most influential leader of the student protesters at Tiananmen Square. In the interview she openly wishes for the soldiers to massacre the students after her instrumental role in blocking attempts by other activists to move the protest back to campuses, all while refusing to sacrifice herself.

Notable quotes from this interview include:-

"You, the Chinese are not worth my struggle. You are not worth my sacrifice"

"The students keep asking what shall we do next? What can we accomplish? I feel so sad, because how can I tell them what we're actually hoping for is bloodshed - for the moment when the government has no choice but to brazenly butcher the people?"

"Only when the square is awash with blood will the people of China open their eyes. Only then will they really be united"

"If we allow the [protesters] movement to collapse on its own, then the government will be able to wipe out all the leaders of the movement"

Upon being asked if she will stay in the square herself after urging the students to stay she simply responded, "No, I won't".

When the Tiananmen Square incident erupted in violence on June 3rd, Chai Ling escaped from Beijing by train. She was eventually smuggled to Hong Kong via Operation Yellowbird, an MI6/CIA led initiative to extract dissidents who they hoped would form the nucleus of a "Chinese democracy movement in exile". To my knowledge, no details exist about how and when she made contact with them. She was subsequently invited to study at Princeton on a full scholarship due to her pivotal role in the Tiananmen protests. She studied Politics and International Relations there, eventually picking up an MBA from Harvard. Today, she runs an internet company called Jenzabar that she founded with her husband, the lawyer Robert Maginn, a long time associate of the Republican party, having even served as the chairman of the Massachusetts Republican party between 2011 and 2013. Their company serves more than 1300 higher education institutions worldwide, whom they provide with ERP software.

It's an expression that nods to the tendency of liberals to empower, enable and ultimately align with fascists against socialists, communists and the labour movement generally. There are a great many historical examples of this phenomenon, but among the most prominent are:-

1. The German SDP aligning with the remnants of the German Imperial Army and supporting the proto-fascistic Freikorps as it savagely suppressed the rising of communist revolutionaries at the end of WW1 in order to preserve German bourgeois rule
2. The reintegration of the defeated Nazi and Imperial Japanese leadership into anti-communist organisations and state organs in the new west German and Japanese nations by the triumphant capitalist powers at the end of WW2, including leadership of NATO by a senior commander of the Nazi Wehrmacht and leadership of the rebuilt Japanese state by one of the most brutal colonial oppressors from Japan's old regime.
3. Unapologetic support for Augusto Pinochet's murderous takeover of Chile by a wide range of liberal powers and voices, most ardently by figures such as Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher, the former of whom considered offering him political asylum in the 80s and the latter of whom publicly expressed outrage when Pinochet was arrested and subsequently subjected to justice in the international criminal court for the crimes he committed against his own people.

So much for the tolerant left!

Good. This way they'll never see us coming...

Take it from me, the British state is just too paralysed by corporate capture and broke to offer any pushback against corporations. They can't even afford to run a properly equipped and staffed police state, let alone enforce any legal proclamations they make against Apple.

Someone ought to spill those beans

Biochemist here, It's almost certainly an overhyped study. The operative term being used here is "potentially" full body rejuvenation is possible. It doesn't address issues such as administration of the therapy in tissues with virtually no turnover rate, including cardiac tissue, skeletal muscle, and nervous tissue. You cannot renew something that the body doesn't naturally replace via the cell cycle.
