The CPC Building a Better Life for Disabled People!

China: Five-Year Plan Unveiled to Improve Services & Quality of Life for People with Disabilities! (3.7.2026)

According to the plan, China will further improve rehabilitation and care services for people with disabilities during the period. The coverage rate of basic rehabilitation services, which exceeded 85 percent during the past five years, will be raised by five percentage points.

The country will work to maintain that 95 percent of people with disabilities enjoy medical insurance and at least 97 percent of school-age disabled children receive compulsory education.

Statistics and data governance related to persons with disabilities will be a major priority in the coming five years. China plans to launch its third national sample survey on people with disabilities during the 2026-2030 period, updating national data for the first time since 2006.

The plan also calls for broader accessibility upgrades in public facilities, including hospitals, schools, banks, libraries, museums, theaters, sports venues and tourist attractions. Self-service terminals in sectors such as finance, healthcare and postal services will also enjoy barrier-free upgrades.

China will further promote the use of emerging technologies to support people with disabilities, including research in artificial intelligence, brain-computer interfaces and robotics, according to the plan.

The plan also encourages wider application of digital technologies such as big data, cloud computing and the Internet of Things in disability assistance services.

Worshippers at a Mass organised by the Society of Saint Pius X in Switzerland on Wednesday

Vatican: Followers of Global Catholic Sect [Society of St Pius X] Excommunicated! (3.7.2026)

More recently, efforts had been made to reconcile with the SSPX, but the Vatican’s response to this week’s events was more aggressive than before, and more severe than predicted.

It was widely expected that Wednesday’s event in Geneva would lead to excommunication of the bishops involved.

But the excommunication of all those lay people who continue to be a part of SSPX was a surprise to many, with the traditionalist group now as far from the centre of power of the Roman Catholic Church as it has ever been.

Excommunication is one of the harshest punishments that can be given by the Church, effectively expelling the offender from the religion and excluding them from Catholic life.

It means a baptised follower is “out of communion” with the Church – meaning they cannot receive the sacraments, for example going to confession, or get married within the Roman Catholic Church.

The Vatican said on Thursday: “The sacred ministers of the Society of St Pius X administer the sacraments illicitly, while the sacrament of penance they administer and the marriages they witness are invalid.”

It means SSPX members now have to choose whether to stay part of a group that is in “schism”, or leave behind the things they believe are right in order to stay part of the Catholic Church.

However it is clear that many SSPX members believe it is the Vatican that has moved away from true doctrine, not them.

Boycott All Neo-Nazi Ukraine Products!

Neo-Nazi Ukraine: EFSA & ECDPC Warning – Reeva “Euro Food Service” Spreading “Salmonella” Across West Through “Flavoured Noodles”! (3.7.2026)

In a statement last week, Reeva Foods cited an “alleged detection” of salmonella Stanley in a specific batch of its instant noodles produced by Euro Food Service, a Ukrainian manufacturer of Reeva products.

The company said it had launched an internal probe and withdrew the batches, adding: “The safety of our consumers is our top priority.”

Cases have been reported in Austria, Britain, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, France, Germany, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland and Sweden, authorities said.

They cited microbiological evidence that showed an outbreak strain detected in Germany and Lithuania in chicken-flavoured and hot-chicken-flavoured noodle products. They said further investigation was needed.

Slave Master on his Throne

US: What Where the Black & White Minstrels? (2.7.2026)

From the 1940s onward, a progressive trend in Minstreling permitted real black men to participate on stage – often along side white actresses. It must be born in mind that plantations existed well into the early 20th century. Slaves cannot help being uneducated because that is the state that the slave-master demands (knowing less is believed to make a person more easily controllable). On stage, the “interlocuter” would sit on a central throne and control the entire show. He is in fact the “slave-master” – and his slaves sit all around him – like obedient soldiers. Why the seats? Well, the “crackers” – the white security guards with whips (stood in the aisles) – preferred that the slaves be seated (and in one place for as long as possible) until it was their turn to perform. These crackers, although hidden, probably numbered as high as the performers just in case the slave-master (or his white assistants) were attacked at any point in the show. When blacked-up white men took the place of the slaves, the risk of attack disappeared, but the organisation used to control the slaves was retained on stage as an important feature of the entertainment itself. It is interesting to consider that popular music, in all its genres, is believed to have evolved out of the Minstreling tradition.

During National Service, he became a piper in the Cameron Highlanders.

Scotland: Tribute to Working-Class Hero – Mr Andy Anderson [1938-2026] – Former Cameron Highlander Piper! (2.7.2026)

In his book about the battle, he wrote: “We were not, as we first thought, just opposing a government. We were in fact opposing the whole mindset, which was itself a captive of international companies who were determined to use the Skye Bridge project as an experiment.”

Andy would become a key independence campaigner in the years that followed. After the referendum loss, he helped found the Scottish Currency Group, which continues to this day.

Three years ago, he founded the grassroots campaign Respect Scottish Sovereignty, which calls for decentralised direct democracy, allowing ordinary people to stand up for their rights against government authority.

Andy and Doreen moved to Saltcoats around a decade ago, before moving to their home next to Ardrossan Cemetery three years ago.

His daughter, Theresa Derbyshire, said: “He was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer a year ago and he survived a lot longer than anyone expected. My brother and his wife stay with them in house and the whole family looked after him.

“We are expecting a lot of people to come from all over to pay their respects at his funeral later this month. ”

Andy’s funeral service will be held at 2.30pm on July 27 at the Holmsford Bridge Crematorium in Dreghorn.

There are ongoing concerns over St Andrew's Healthcare in Northampton

UK: Private Sector Hospital Caught “Beating Patients” – Handed-Over to NHS! (2.7.2026)

Since the collapse of the USSR in 1991, this project has intensified in vigour. Unions have been legally disempowered, and welfare systems dismantled – leading to intense poverty and workers with no rights. To be clear – ALL mainstream political parties (and the fringe far-right versions) – are all wedded to this attack upon the working-class (mass immigration is part of this attack – as it ensures the maintenance of cheap labour and the corroding of workers’ rights). Now, as the NHS collapses, patient care is at an all-time low – so how bad must “private” healthcare be in the UK if its failing institutions are being handed-over to the NHS due to “safety concerns”? The ill, the young, and the elderly are being treated terribly because of the pro-US policies being pursued by the UK Establishment and it makes you wonder what was the point of fighting and winning WWII against German fascism – when US fascism is allowed into the UK via the back-door! It does not matter who we vote for – as there is an agreement (behind the scenes) between all parties to continue the policy regardless of who is in power! Getting out the EU was only half the battle – but the bourgeoisie prevented the election of the far-left government the UK so desperately needed under Jeremy Corbyn (to shut the borders and re-empower the Unions and the workers) – and here we are in this post-Covid mess!
