China Football Association: 3rd Batch of Match-Fixing Penalties Issued – Gambling & Black Market Corruption – 17 [Including Hakka] Banned! (22.5.2026)

22/05/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

The first Article is the official “English” announcement permitted by the Chinese Court and/or government. Good to see the Meizhou Hakka people at the fore-front of sporting corruption. The Hakka are always industry-leaders – and I expect nothing less of their innovative activity (I jest – of course). Even in the UK – Hakka take-away owners cannot resist wasting thousands of their hard-earned money on gambling! It is an issue amongst the Chinese community – or at least a certain strata of it. From gambling speculation there creeps-in all other types of corruption. Let this be a lesson. Although the US government (and the far-right) does allow and encourage “gambling” (as a form of capitalistic social control) – the far-left (and certainly not the CPC) will allow this cancer to fester within Chinese society. Enjoy sport but participate fairly and without exploitation! Hakka people need to police their communities more effectively and demand the law is followed. Remember, the Hakka were avid supporters of the Socialist Revolution – do not spoil this achievement!

USSR: Mao Zedong Celebrates Joseph Stalin’s Official [1949] 70th Birthday! (21.5.2026)

21/05/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

The 1878 Register of Infant Births kept in the Orthodox Episcopal Church of Gori City (Georgia) states (on page 33): “On December 6th, Gori resident and peasant Vissarion Ivanovich Dzhugashvili and his legal wife Ekaterina Gebrienovna gave birth to a son, Joseph”. This reference is taken as Stalin’s “actual” or “material” birthdate by many historians – although the former Catholic monk – Joseph McCabe – runs with the official date (explained below) which I find curious as he might well have had contacts who could have accessed the Church Records in Georgia. One reason might be that the politicised “Church” was viewed as acting hand-in-glove with the bourgeois (or “feudal” State in the Russian context) and therefore part of the problem that must be overthrown (that is, shifted from “public” to “private”). In this sense, who cares what the Church records? As the Secular State is primary (as the vehicle through which “Socialism” is achieved that leads to “Communism” and the dissolving of the State) – it should decide material reality and its manifestation.

WHO Recognises Cuba's Contribution To World Health"

Cuba: WHO Award – Free of Mother-to-Child Transmission of HIV & Syphilis! (20.5.2026)

20/05/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

Cuba, which in 2015 became the first nation in the world to reach this milestone, continues to demonstrate that universal health coverage, firm political commitment, and robust primary care are fundamental pillars for protecting pregnant women and their children.

With this result, the country remains in the group of some twenty nations and territories that guarantee the elimination of these diseases in newborns, which is the result of decades of dedication by our health professionals, amid the worst economic blockade ever suffered by any nation.

I always wonder how much more we could do for our people and for the world, without the noose of the #GenocidalBlockade around our necks.

Fifth National Exercise for the Prevention and Confrontation of Crime, Corruption, Drugs, Illegalities and Social Indiscipline

Cuba: Actions Intensify to Prevent & Confront US-Inspired Crime! (19.5.2026)

19/05/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

There is a US-financed (it is all about money – and has always been about money for the Yankee Imperialists) Fifth Column operating within the Cuban Mainland. These individual men and women have secret ties to the US government which rewards their families living in the US and guarantees an affluent retirement when their destructive work is over. The propaganda against Socialist Cuba is seen everywhere in the West – even fictitious crime-dramas like “Dexter” – which whilst conveying the psychopathic tendencies of a forensic expert working for the police, still manages to present “Cuba” (and “Cubans”) as being hopelessly impoverished and just waiting for an opportunity of literally “throwing” their immaciated bodies into the sea and somehow “floating” to US shores (where Dexter is waiting to kill the survivors and stockpile their remains in a convenient warehouse). This is not an exaggerated racist trope – and we had to stop watching (consuming) this show as a protest. Cuban sportspeople – often dominant Boxers – are portrayed as drug-riddled lunatics who win not because Socialism generates a superior person – but because their system is deficient and insane. Alice is definitely “Through tthe Looking Glass”.

US Delegation "Dumps" Chinese Gifts in Bin!

China: Trump Entourage Commits Act of Racist Disrespect at Airport! (18.5.2026)

18/05/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

Gooding’s original text reads: “It is forbidden to carry any items from China on the plane. We are about to take off for the United States. ” The key to the impact of this incident is not whether it is “right” or wrong, but rather the context in which it occurred. The Chinese side had just completed the send-off ceremony at the airport, designed to grant the highest form of “face” to the US. This involved a 21-Gun Salute, Honour Guards of the Three Services, a Red Carpet, State Banquets, and visits to the Temple of the Divine-Sky. A few minutes after this display of Chinese respect for America, the same group of people (the Americans) stood in front of the boarding-ladder and threw everything given by Chinese-side into the rubbish-bin (one by one). This cruel act of disrespect was performed in-front of the general public and designed to attract the maximum Press coverage – sending a clear message of US disrespect for China.

Cuba: 67-Years Ago – Fidel Signed First “Land-Reform Law”! (18.5.2026)

And he concluded his speech on that historic day with “the infinite satisfaction of having fulfilled one more promise, of having contributed to making possible the well-being of millions of compatriots who have been suffering in neglect and oblivion, and who were the ones who, in ’68, in ’95, and in this latest liberating struggle, made the greatest sacrifices.”

“It was necessary to write, once and for all in our pure lone star, that formula of the Apostle that the homeland was for everyone and for the good of all.”
