US War Crime in Iraq (1991) - the Road to Basra!

Email: Why Hasn’t the US Already Beaten Iran? (26.3.2026)

US should prevail. Even if there is a cease-fire – Iran will be incredibly weakened and ready for the taking at a later date. This is what the amassing of material power by the US has produced when coupled with the unchecked spread of US political power. There is no mystical power hiding in the shadows that will one-day suddenly present itself and magically alter the material reality of the world. No. Only material power changes material power. This is how the Soviet Communist Party built-up the Red Army and was able to counter the material power of the Nazi German regime – despite suffering huge initial set-backs and tremendous losses. Indeed, despite the horrendous losses the Soviets experienced (41 million dead and wounded) – the Red Army was able to defeat Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan – and managed to hold-off an aggressive West in Berlin. It is surprising that Iran has lasted as long as it has – but this an asymmetric war which Iran is winning tactically – but losing strategically.

Bronx Anti-War Free Distribution - New York

New York: Bronx Anti-War Free Food Distribution & Fund-Raising! (25.3.2026)

The grass-roots US appears to be strewn with left-wing groups like this that strive to assist the ordinary through the efforts of ordinary people – by-passing the official institutions that either ignore or directly oppress the masses. It is through the various social media apps not directly caught-up in the mainstream – that these groups announce their existence and reach-out beyond the boundaries of their communities. Of course, these groups are often a mixture of anarchists, Socialists (of various kinds) and Communists – forming “United Fronts – usually on a permanent basis (despite ideological differences). As the US System does not tolerate any form of People’s Movement – quite often it is a matter of time before that State raids the headquarters of these groups – films it – and places the footage on social media for all to see – together with a debilitating commentary designed to denigrate the members, etc. It is an Establishment play-book in the US that is deployed time and time again. In the end it comes down not to necessarily agreeing with this group or that group – but simply “knowing” such groups exist and share knowledge of what they do – and attempt to do.

No Religion Can Prevent Physical Death!

UK: Opposing the Spread of Religion Through a “Violence” Disguised as “Self-Defence”! (24.3.26)

Quite often a religion takes on the prevailing manifestation of the society it inhabits – this explains the totalitarian nature of the Christian Church (and the monastery) which is premised upon a hierarchical feudal society administered by an absolute monarch. Zulu religion reflected the warrior culture that Shaka Zulu created (premised upon past tribal conventions with new innovations). Tribes in the Amazon possess religious beliefs that reflect the forest, etc. Religion is reactionary and can only orientate itself existentially – promising the adherent that some type of ethereal “escape” is possible (a claim that is never proven). It is fascinating that the religionists compound their illogicality by assuming that monotheism is an improvement upon polytheism. Really? At least if a tree is worshipped – the tree actually exists and is a material object existing in the physical world. Of course, religions can be studied and understood (as a type of history) – but such a researcher must not fall into the mire of religiosity. Such a researcher must not get high on his own supply – or get caught sipping his own bar supplies. What I find interesting about Iranian ideology is that it talks about opposing capitalism – whilst practicing capitalism within its society. Capitalism has not be over-thrown in Iran – only moulded to fit an Islamicist theism. Where, then, is the “Revolution”? It would seem that this refers to rejecting the Western imperialism projected into Iran (by the West) – and replacing it (or re-establishing) Islam (which is the right of the Iranian people). But consider this, Iran has a pre-history of thousands of years that was not Islamic – but polytheistic. Indeed, it was this astonishing culture that ruled a huge empire – the soldiers of which fought the Spartans at Thermopylae. Iran possessed a great culture prior to the rise of Islam – but this is denied or portrayed as an “error” by the theology extracted from the Holy Qur’an. How can this attitude be logical or true?

Red Square Times: China’s Dominic Lee Expertly “Corrects” the Eurocentric Racism at the UN!

And why exactly are NATO countries up here giving us sanctimonious speeches about human rights while turning a blind eye to the Zionist genocide in Gaza? Who do they think they are to stand here and talk about justice?

We will not allow nations to silence us when, for them, human rights are nothing but a bargaining chip and a foreign policy weapon. We have no intention of listening to people who use human rights as a tool of war — while their own hands are stained with the blood of Palestinians and Iranians, something they somehow keep conveniently forgetting.

And we will not rest until every country here is treated by the same standard. Until hypocrisy is dragged into the light and disgraced. Until genocide is confronted. And until peace reigns not just in words, but in reality.

US: Black Lion Party for International Solidarity! (22.3.2026)

However, I think the above video is very interesting from a sociological perspective. We are not permitted to own guns in the UK – but the police can shoot us dead if they feel the need. So be it. What we need to do is organise ourselves to a greater degree. We need to be clever and play cerebral chess with the capitalists. We must defend ourselves when the time is right. As a Chinese martial artist – I have had hundreds of fights in my life – using bare-hands and feet. Fighting is also about a superior position of the mind in the body – and about the body in the environment. Anything is possible. Watch this video and learn from it. As a Maoist and Stalinist – I am an “Internationalist” – even though the bourgeoisie will use all kinds of derisive tactics to keep us apart, and fight one another. The bourgeoisie will privilege one group over another to maintain the violence – this is how Reform UK is gaining political ground. These derisive tactics have to stop – so that the injustice that prevents “Internationalism” is removed. This barrier between migrants and indigenous people must be removed – so that aggression is replaced with compassion.

UN experts condemn ‘Board of Peace’, call for a reparative, rights-based approach to reconstruction in Gaza

UN: Legal Experts Condemn Trump’s Supposed “Board of Peace” for Gaza – as Illegal! (20.3.2026)

UN experts condemn the “Board of Peace,” saying it is illegal and contradicts international law and the right to self-determination. They emphasize that Gaza’s reconstruction must be led by Palestinians and guided by human rights and international law. A new analysis highlights that the destruction of housing in Gaza constitutes war crimes. The experts urge an end to the occupation, a held ceasefire, and a rights-based approach to rebuilding Gaza, with Israel and its supporters bearing primary responsibility.
