WWII: How Powerful Was the World’s Largest Artillary Gun? Thousands Operated It – Whilst One Shell Weighed Seven-Tonnes! (21.11.2024)

This stemmed from Joseph Stalin advocating that the tactical mode of conventional “artillery attack” could be effective if used in a massive, highly focused, and overwhelming manner. Massed (smaller) Soviet artillery guns had the effect of successfully suppressing the fire-power of the Nazi German Army by peppering its formations in a relentless and destructive manner (massacring the Gustav Ground Crews and destroying the stockpiles of stored ammunition). This increased the survival rate of the numerically superior Soviet Red Army – and quickly defeated the Nazi German enemy. Therefore, the Soviet Military Factories operated at full capacity and manufactured a large number of weapons and ammunition for the Soviet Red Army on the front line, including 90,000 artillery pieces of various types.

Anti-Racist Che Guevara!

CUBA: Che Guevara’s Anti-Racism Remembered! (21.11.2024)

The academician further explained that while the process of decolonization of Africa had begun in the 1950s, the Cuban Revolution (1952-1959) and its figures provided a significant impetus. He argued that the influence of the revolution went beyond political independence, advocating a complete break with economic, social, and cultural ties to former colonizers.

🗣 “Then, throughout the following decades, Cuba, its support will not be limited only to this armed support, but Cuba, and I repeat, will be vital in the independence of Angola, of Namibia, of several of these colonies, which in turn will also influence revolutionary processes in Europe, as in Portugal, the Carnation Revolution,” Prof. Cabrales stated.

James Wood Applies the US Veto!

UN: US Supports Israeli “Genocide” with Veto Vote! (21.11.2024)

“This is what Israel is doing in Gaza. These are its war objectives. This is what the absence of a ceasefire is allowing it to continue doing,” he said, calling for an immediate and unconditional ceasefire in the region.

“It is deeply regretted that due to the use of the veto this council has once again failed to uphold its responsibility to maintain international peace and security,” Malta’s Ambassador Vanessa Frazier said after voting.

“It represented the bare minimum of what is needed to begin to address the desperate situation on the ground,” she added.

Guyana’s Ambassador Carolyn Rodrigues-Birkett said that the suffering of Palestinians must end, adding that her country would continue to work with fellow council members to try to achieve tomorrow what could not be achieved today.

Hong Kong - US & Canada to Stop Medding!

China: US & Canadian Politicians – Stop Meddling in Hong Kong’s Judiciary! (21.11.2024)

“This act of double standards is a serious blasphemy against the spirit of the rule of law and a gross violation of the principles of international law such as non-interference in internal affairs,” the spokesperson said.

Since the implementation of the national security law in Hong Kong, Hong Kong’s political ecology has been purified, social order restored, the spirit of the rule of law demonstrated, the business environment improved.

Cuthbert Taylor and his father, Charlie.

Welsh-Children Demand “Apology” for Black-Boxer – Cuthbert Taylor [1909-1977] – Denied Title Shot Due to Colour-Bar! (21.11.2024)

One of the letters to the board reads: “We think that it is unfair that Cuthbert Taylor and other boxers without white, British parents were not allowed to fight for the British title. The colour bar was horrendous, horrific and disgraceful. It was not right then and it is not right now.”

It adds: “It was probably his dream to be the British boxing champion, but your colour bar stopped his dream from coming true.”

Schools that have written to the board include Cwmnedd primary in the Neath Valley, St Joseph’s Catholic junior, Port Talbot; Ysgol Gymraeg Santes Tudful in Merthyr Tydfil and Llanfaes community primary in Brecon. The number of schools involved continues to grow.

Aisling Brady Saunders, the deputy headteacher at St Joseph’s, said: “It was entirely the children’s idea to pen letters – they feel very strongly that Cuthbert Taylor, his surviving family and all boxers affected by the colour bar rule should have an apology.”
