Workers Unite in Spain!

South Tenerife: Highest Participation in Hotel Workers Strike – Over 80% Support! (20.4.2025)

The previously proposed agreement, brokered with the assistance of the Canary Islands President, included a 6% overall salary increase and measures to safeguard purchasing power. A commitment was also made to establish a new negotiating committee by the end of April.

Despite the breakdown in talks, the regional government has reported that the strike is unfolding calmly and without incident. The Deputy Minister for Tourism, José Manuel Sanabria, stressed that while the government respects the right to strike, it must also ensure the safety and well-being of guests, as the strike coincides with one of the busiest times of the year.

Soviet Red Army Smashes Fascism!

Cuba: Defending the USSR’s [1941-1945] Victory Over Nazism! (18.4.2025)

The International Military Tribunal for the Prosecution and Punishment of Major War Criminals from the European Axis States (the Nuremberg Trials) found the leaders of the Nazi regime guilty of crimes against peace, war crimes, and crimes against humanity, among others. The acts of expulsion and extermination of the civilian population of the USSR by the Nazis and their accomplices, as established by the verdict of the Nuremberg Trials, must be considered genocide against the Soviet peoples.

Haytor Neidan Self-Cultivation!

Ch’an Dao Blog Article – Neidan As We Get Older! (18.4.2025)

I suspect the ancient Greeks encountered Buddhist monasticism when visiting India (such as Pythagoras), learned the Buddhist method of “looking within”, and then adjusted the technique as a means to “prove” the efficacy of their particular philosophical perspectives (the work of Plotinus may be taken as an example of this endeavour). Later, via the Greeks, a community of Jews (in Qumran) started sitting in meditation to personally attain a “glimpse of Yahweh” – a practice that eventually spread to the reformed Jewish sect of “Christianity” – whose adherents started to meditate whilst sat in the caves found in the Egyptian Desert (this type of Christianity spread to Britain – hundreds of years prior to Catholicism – becoming “Celtic Christianity”).

US Sponsored Mujahadeen - Execution of Red Army Soldier!

Russia: Taliban Taken Off Terrorist “Banned” List! (18.4.2025)

How sad it is to see a “capitalist” Russia fighting a proxy war with the US in Ukraine – whilst attending cordial meetings with the current leader of that ogre – Donald Trump – pretending there’s no connection between the US and Neo-Nazi weaponry that is killing Russian soldiers and murdering Russian civilians. It is also disturbing to see Russia cosying-up to Zionist Israel – the high-level diplomatic meetings of which are being trumpeted across Russian-language media as being of a very “great success” – at exactly the same time as Russia removes the “Taliban” off the Terrorist List! What a long way we have come from the mighty (Soviet) Red Army entering Afghanistan in support of the democratically elected “Socialist” government chosen by the most progressive element of Afghan society! The US (in fact its CIA Operative – Osama Bin Laden) founded the “Islamo-Fascist” movement then termed the “Mujahadeen” – and now referred to by hundreds of splinter names – “ISIS”, “Al Qaeda”, “ISIL”, and the “Taliban” being just a few. Is Russia collaborating with the US – trading its own integrity for land in Ukraine? I remember the photographs of the heads of murdered Soviet soldiers which had to be “stitched” back on to the necks they had been severed from before being delivered back to their families – simply because they refused to “revert” to Islam whilst held prisoner in Afghanistan between 1979-1989. After-all, like Soviet Socialism – it is all in the past.

UK: Visiting Haytor – Dartmoor National Park! (17.4.2025

We were committed to traversing directly up before we fully appreciated the difference. Nevertheless, hundreds climb Haytor every week – with wild Dartmoor ponies wandering around the car-park area. These animals may – or may not – come over for a stroke, but visitors must be careful not to be bitten, head-butted, or kicked, etc. This does not happen very often – but wild animals should be respected. Another issues are yapping dogs (which must be kept on leads). As matters transpired, there was one or two calm and sedate ponies that wanted to be stroked and petted, etc. The general experience is important for children – particularly those from city areas – to re-connect with nature and experience the feeling that the immensity of nature – wide-open spaces – can generate! I last visited probably about 20-years ago with Gee – but our two children not yet born.

UK: How the BBC Lies – Is Labour Sabotaging Its Own NI Rise? (17.4.2025)

For instance, above is an example amongst many. The interviewee clearly states that historical “rising costs” is the problem (caused by Obama, Trump, Biden, and Trump II) – with the BBC journalist (or Editor) inserting the usual “NI rise” clause into the story – to fool the general public that price rises are caused by the mechanism that is designed to redistribute wealth and prevent price-rises. In this regard, the BBC is aligning its reporting with the rightwing media. The BBC was just as rabid when it fought to bring down Labour Prime Minister Gordon Brown (2008-2010) calling him a “Communist” when he brought in a “Free Bus-Pass” for the elderly – and when the BBC fought to prevent the leftwing Labour leader – Jeremy Corbyn (2016-2019) becoming Prime Minister on the false grounds that his support for Palestine was “anti-Semitic” and that a purely Socialist NHS could no longer be afforded because of “migrants” (but obviously not Neo-Nazi Ukrainians). A letter penned by leftwing British Jews “supporting” Jeremy Corbyn was published on the Guardian website – and was taken-down after just one-hour following a telephone call from Tel Aviv to 10 Downing Street.
