The sheer destructive power of this fire was so powerful so as to cause huge casualties. At least 128 lives have been confirmed lost, among them were the elderly – who were supposed to enjoy their old age in the lap of their descendants. There are children who have not had time to experience the world well. There are also young people who died full of dreams. Their departure has plunged countless families into endless grief.
From 2021 to 2024, the number of criminal cases suspected of violating Japan’s penal code rose from 568,000 to 738,000. Serious violent crimes — including abduction, arson, homicide, robbery, rape and sexual assault — had increased from 8,821 cases to 14,614, marking a surge of about 65.7 percent, the embassy said in a notice published on its official WeChat account.
Since July, the number of requests for assistance received by Chinese diplomatic missions regarding discrimination-related incidents has risen significantly, with a notable spike reported in November. In recent days, multiple Chinese nationals living in Japan have reported being subjected to unprovoked verbal abuse or physical assault, resulting in injuries, according to the embassy.
The Hongmeng Programme, designed to detect the universe’s “infant cries,” consists of 10 satellites forming a low-frequency radio telescope array. The satellites will travel to the far side of the Moon, a naturally quiet “radio sanctuary” shielded from Earth and solar interference, allowing the system to capture extremely faint signals from deep space. The project aims to shed light on the turbulent epoch hundreds of millions of years after the Big Bang, before the first stars formed.
Our heart and mind turn to the giant of America, Fidel Alejandro Castro Ruz, whose work changed the history not only of Cuba but also of Latin America and the Caribbean. Fidel forged the era of new independence and revolution, demonstrating the strength and relevance that only great leaders possess. His light, along with that of Commander Chávez, is today guiding the struggles of the peoples of the world.
Fidel bequeathed us a fundamental concept: the ability to turn adversities into struggle and victory, and to transform victories into opportunities for progress. Despite countless campaigns of discredit and attempts to harm him physically and morally, his indomitable spirit prevailed.
Marxist-Leninism uses dialectical materialism (logic and reason) to discern the truth of a matter. Recently, I was asked about the odd idea of the US and Soviets collaborating to land a joint Astronaut-Cosmonaut mission on Mars during 1973. This obviously fake story circles around the Western internet (like Haley’s Comet). The long and the short of it is that neither country possessed then – nor possess now – the technology to achieve this. Only China is edging ever-closer. Below, I translate a Russian language article explaining exactly what the USSR was able to produce in 1973. As impressive as it is, this technology is nowhere near the level required to land living beings a) on the surface of Mars, and b) successfully retrieve these beings and safely back to Earth. I am reliably informed that the US was in a similar position – with both sides investing heavily in unmanned probes. Ergo – “NO” – the US and USSR did not pool resources and land on Mars in 1973. Finally, Joseph Stalin beat the Nazi Germans in 1945 and laid the foundation for the success of the later Soviet Space Programme. Just 12-years after suffering 41 million casualties at the hands of the Nazis – the USSR re-built and took-on the greed and self-serving delusion of the capitalist West.
When my article “The Invalidation of the Worker” was printed in the far-left British Press – many responses were from Union representatives stating how naïve I was to think that People with Disabilities should be treated with “Equality” and possess equal “Access” to the wealth a capitalist society possesses and has to offer. In other words, the leaders of the working-class in the UK were of the opinion that Person with Disabilities should resign themselves to a life of terminal unemployment, poverty, and exclusion. And that was coming from the left! The right-wing and far-right approach simply talked of “removing” the problem – whilst being very careful not to explain exactly what they meant. Even so-called “Communists” thought the Disabled were surplus to requirement – ignoring the fact that Disabled people helped to assemble tanks in the beleaguered factories of Stalingrad.
