The Estate Agents is Called "Progressive" in North Bergen!

UK: North Bergen – New Jersey [USA] – London Calling! (11.8.2026)

I suppose as I write predominantly in “English” it is inevitable that a US audience will be attracted – if not only out of curiously – rather than any great political engagement. Surely, it would be logical to think this (of course, I exclude my progressive US readership from this assessment). Imagine my surprise when I saw that around half of the 900 or so hits my blog attracts (each week) in the US is from a single city – namely “North Bergen” in New Jersey. The name is either Dutch or Scandinavian – but the British once ruled this area. I have been reading about ths place as quite frankly I am astonished that my output would be of any interest to the average American – let alone in a single city. It could be a fluke and I am reading too much into it – but I am grateful for every read and click my work attracts – whether the content is liked or not. So, to those people of “North Bergen” who I will never meet or personally know – I thank you for the “click” – even if it was in error. Thank you for giving me something “new” to research. Thank you for sharing this path through my words!

President Trump Fails in Giving FIFA as "Gitft" Son-in-Law - Jared Kushner (Left)

FIFA: Solidarity at Regional Level Crushes Gianni Infantino’s “Pro-Zionist” Plans – Football Will Not Be Sold to Israel! (1.8.2026)

All the ingredients are there for radical left-wing politics – but of course – this collective bargaining power has been used in a very specific manner. In Europe, for instance, an elite top-tier player (before tax) can earn something in the region of £525,000 a week or an annual (yearly) salary of £27,300,000 (even after tax – this is a substantial amount). Obviously, this is not your average worker and the amounts are obscene when you consider a Nurse will yearn around £25,000 a year (after tax). Still, that is the world of predatory capitalism. Amateur (grass-roots) football in England sees eleven men turn-up every weekend and play for 90 minutes – for free. Add to this how expensive ticket prices are to attend Premier League games live (£75 per match on average) or about the same to watch each match on live-TV – and it is clear that the business of football empowers a very small section of the working-class – at the expense of the material well-being of the lumpen-proletariat. I have heard stories told of men out of work spending their dole money not on feeding their families – but instead attending a 90-minute game. The fans fuel the game – but so does business investment – and here in lies the crux of the matter with FIFA. Exploiting the workers to enrich a few workers is just part of the beautiful game. Business does its part as popular players boost brand sales – and brand sales raise the value of popular players. These players are not building time machines, perfecting space travel, or finding a cure for cancer – but are kicking around a ball full of air – as a leisure activity. It has been said that like religion – football is like an opium of the masses – but it does not have to be that way. Ironically, whilst paying for their National Squads, players do not receive their huge domestic salaries (there may be a nominal fee per match – around £2000 – which in the case of England is donated to charity) – although they will obviously benefit from the publicity regarding their ongoing sponsorship deals. It is the profitable association with success and glamour which fuels this lucrative machine. Still, it would appear that Players’ Unions (which have no moral qualms exploiting their fellow working-class) draw the line at openly associating themselves with the murderous regime of Israel and its genocidal policies in Gaza (and elsewhere). good for them. Zionism is racist – just look at how poorly Iran (and other Islamic countries) were treated at the 2026 World Cup!

Natural Resources for Medical Tourism in DPRK

DPRK: North Korea Possesses Many Natural Resources for Medical Tourism! (28.7.2026)

Today, the working British people pay for the NHS through taxation – but receive very little for their money. Only recently arrived migrants (who have never contributed) receive full and free healthcare because the Human Rights Act demands they be treated this way. This is a sure way of destroying a Socialist medical system – as those British without care envy and resent those recent arrivals who receive the highest levels of care. Although the answer should be to return the NHS to “care” over “cost” – this will not happen as the onus is always toward capitalism. When migrants arrived in the 1960s, everyone – British or not – received the highest quality of care on the NHS. Medical treatment only becomes an issue when it is rationed. Of course, I do not know whether the DPRK will charge for medical care – this is an issue I need to research further. Considering how many sanctions are applied to the DPRK by the West – I suppose it would be “just” to charge Europeans – although not strictly speaking acting in accordance with the spirit of Socialism! Medical treatment should be of the highest quality and free for all at the point of use.

Speech delivered by Miguel Mario Díaz-Canel Bermúdez, First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba and President of the Republic!

Cuba: Speech [Central Ceremony] 73rd Anniversary [1953-2026] of the Assault on the Moncada & Carlos Manuel de Céspedes Barracks! (27.7.2026)

US Neo-Imperialism is killing Cuba and these posts are merely documenting this crime as it unfolds. When the USSR collapsed in 19991, many of us switched to financially donating to Cuba in an effort to beat the blockade. Yes – it was basically small amounts – but it all added-up in a time prior to the internet. Of course, an individual cannot take the place of the State – particularly members of the working-class who do not possess very much income and whose resources are always stretched. The capitalist countries outside of the US do not care about Cuba – as they support the destruction of all Socialism. Those Socialist countries that do exist are either developing themselves (and exist in various stages of poverty), or are immersed in the capitalist system (through trade) – so that they cannot provide an alternative to it (as the USSR used to do). Merely complaining every so – often using words – does nothing to prevent the strangle-hold the US has on Cuba. The US is creating poverty – and then blaming Socialism for this poverty. It is an old US trick (after centuries of making immense profit and wealth from African slavery – the North impoverished the South through a sea blockade – claiming “slavery is unprofitable”). Economic terrorism is the American way. As with Saddam Hussein’s Iraq – after years of sanctions killing Iraqi people – the US switched from sanctions to bombs and bullets to speed-up the process. Stay tuned.

Respect Shown to Elderly Heroes!

DPRK: Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un Sends Gifts to War Veterans on 73rd V-day! (26.7.2026)

A grand event will take place in Pyongyang, the capital city of the DPRK, to celebrate the 73rd anniversary of the victory in the great Fatherland Liberation War.

Warm congratulations are extended from across the country to the heroes of the legendary era, who are glorifying their honourable life as the first-generation defenders of the country and dear revolutionary forerunners held in respect by the Workers’ Party of Korea and the people, in the run-up to July 27, the war victory day.

The war veterans and persons of wartime merits invited to the significant V-day celebrations were warmly seen off by officials of the Party and power organs, working people, families and relatives in the relevant areas.

They arrived here on July 25 and senior officials of the Central Committee of the Workers’ Party of Korea warmly greeted them at Pyongyang Railway Station and lodging quarters.
