Gee Wyles - Covid Star Medal for Bravery 2020-2021

NHS: Gee’s “Covid Star” Medal for Bravery! (18.7.2025)

18/07/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

Of course, when medals are issued en masse like this, as also seen at the end of WWII) it often takes some time before the medals are a) made, and b) presented to the recipients. Gee’s work record and demeanour under pressure were assessed and found “suitable” for the awarding of the “Covid Star” during 2022. Since that date, we have been patiently waiting to receive the physical object – and hold it in our hands. Gee volunteered to work with NO protective-clothing or equipment on the NHS frontline saving human-lives in the UK – so I would say she has earned the right to be called “British”! Gee showed more English-grit than the “White” keyboard warriors sat behind their computer screens concocting all kinds of stupid and anti-intellectual nonsense! These very bad and poor examples of “Englishness” will never know the “grace under pressure” that people like Gee exhibited during a National Emergency. Indeed, Gee saved their ungrateful lives.

CSA: Patrick Cleburne – the Irish Private that Rose to Major-General – and Called for the Freeing of the Slaves in the South! (17.7.2025)

17/07/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

As a “British” citizen, Patrick Cleburne joined the 41st Infantry Regiment of Foot of the British Army (serving between 1846-1849) rising to the rank of “Corporal” (and NCO signified by two-chevron stripes worn on the upper-shoulder – pointing-down). He served in the Garrison of Spike Island, situated in Cork Harbour. Here, the British Authorities brutally “processed” ethnic Irish prisoners – and Cleburne got to learn first-hand what anti-Irish racism was really like. Due to this experience, he eventually emigrated with his family to the United States, and was accepted with open arms by the people of Arkansas. He was not interested in preserving slavery and certainly did not own any slaves himself. As he appreciated the kindness of the Southern people – he decided to enlist as a “Private” soldier in the “Yell Rifles” – a local Militia in Arkansas. As these local grass-roots Confederate Units were entirely democratic in nature, all NCOs and Officers were elected by popular vote. This is how Cleburne was elected to the rank of “Captain”. Quite extraordinarily, when the Local Militias and Guards Unit were reformed with many being integrated into Infantry Regiments proper that constituted the Confederate States Army – Patrick Cleburne rose through the ranks to Major-General (CSA).

Guyana: Socialist Medicine Sees Chinese & Guyanese Doctors Jointly Treat Traffic Victim! (16.7.2025)

“Ankle fusion is indeed a common and relatively simple procedure with good short-term results,” said Wang. “However, it often fails to restore the anatomical and biomechanical structure of the ankle. In the long term, it may not alleviate pain and could even cause damage to adjacent joints. Restoring proper anatomy and biomechanics is crucial to surgical success.”

India: Fauja Singh [ਫੌਜਾ ਸਿੰਘ] World’s “Oldest” Marathon Runner [Aged 114] – Dies After Hit-and-Run! (15.7.2025)

In 1941, the Sikh Police Officers who served the British Authorities in Hong Kong turned on their employers and assisted the imperial Japanese to commit all kinds of atrocities against the British and ethnic Chinese locals. The Sikhs were then “expelled” as a distinct ethnic group from all British Armed Forces for the duration of WWII. Yes – the Sikhs took the side of fascism during WWII – whilst rejecting any form of secular Socialism. Later, individual Sikhs who had settled in England were allowed to join the British Military – but never again were groups of Sikhs allowed to form ethnic-specific military units. There is talk of a “People’s Party” in the main article – but if this is left-wing is open to debate – as the far-right is currently stealing virtually all left-wing ideas terminology in its drive to inflict fascism once again upon the world

New York: 55-Years Ago the “People’s Hospital for the South Bronx” was Established for 12-Hours! (15.7.2025)

15/07/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

In a 12‑hour takeover, they demanded dignity, better care, and a People’s Hospital for the South Bronx which for too long was and still is ignored by systemic neglect.

Their occupation wasn’t just a protest—it was a radical act of self-determination. The Young Lords showed us that when oppressive systems ignore our needs, we must rise, occupy the space, and rebuild from the ground up.

Their demand for a hospital that cared for the people—by the people—reverberates today as a rallying cry.

UN Relations Committee (PCP): Remembering Dr. Ammar Bakdash – Syria Communist Party! (14.7.2025)

14/07/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

The late comrade Ammar Bakdash (1954-2025) was one of the most prominent Arab communist leaders who carried the banner of the international struggle with rare firmness and sincerity. He graduated from the class struggle school since joining the Syrian Communist Party in 1969, and was raised in the arms of Marxism-Leninism, where he completed his postgraduate studies in the Soviet Union, holding a doctorate in economic sciences from Moscow State University.
