Cuba: President Miguel Díaz Canel: “Whoever Rises-Up for the Cuban People – Rises-Up for All Time – What is Being Done to Cuba Can Be Done to Anyone!” (4.7.2026)

LDJ: Taking into account this recent history of aggression against Venezuela, against Iran, while these negotiations were taking place, is there fear in Cuba that, at the same time that they are trying to dialogue with the United States, they are plotting?

MDC: There is a perception in Cuba that there is a danger of aggression. A danger of aggression, because they are constantly saying it. We are not saying it, they are saying it.

We have mobilized the population for defense. Every Friday is National Defense Day. The people are preparing. We have updated all the plans for the defense readiness.

We have the example of what it means to know how to defend oneself: the 32 combatants in Venezuela. Those did fight. They were able to stop the action of an elite force of the United States that surpassed them in technology, in numbers, in weapons and, in addition, because of the element of surprise. And yet, they fought heroically. There were thirty-two of them. What will not become of millions of Cubans willing to defend their homeland, to defend the Revolution?

Brixham Scaffolding - the Structure Remains Strong!

Brixham: Final Scaffolding Report! (4.4.2026)

It is logical to assume that “71 Mount Pleasant Road” (second floor which we are renting) and “71a Mount Pleasant Road” (First Floor) was probably all the same building being referred to in the “Conveyance” document of 1920 – affixed to wall of the back bedroom. This was a substantial building of four (or five) floors (in the UK the 1st floor equates to the Ground Floor in the US – yes – we exported our culture but apparently not our counting) – excluding any basement. We think that once the (limestone) quarry was finished and used-up – the land was sold for housing. However, the quarry proper (which spread over some miles) was not officially closed until 1969 – although obviously not in this exact location – which must have finished earlier (the quarry is said to have existed for 300-years).

State of the Art Sun-Dial - Down House - Kent

Down House: Donning a Bowler Hat & Beard – Charles Darwin Lives! (7.3.2026)

It is a beautiful manor house situated in Kent – with a large garden full of all the natural experiments Darwin developed over many decades – as he slowly but surely correlated the information he had gathered in his youth aboard the HMS Beagle. He further developed all this by closely observing how nature functioned and unfolded in his native England – realising that environmental conditions (natural selection) creates changes in living organisms so a to better enhance the chances of a) survival, and b) reproduction. Whether occurring in South America, the Pacific, or the UK, the evolutionary forces acted in exactly the same way. Of course, what is near at hand to each of us becomes the “familiar” – and what is far away becomes the “unfamiliar”. However, this is just a matter of sensory “immediacy” – the point that Darwin made is that there is a greater principle underlying it all that we, as individuals, must strive to appreciate and understand. As part of this process, myself, Ge, Mei-An, and Kai-Lin all donned bowler hats and fake beards – so that we could – even if only for a moment – become Vharles Darwin!

3 pro-Palestinian protesters end hunger strike after UK decides not give contract to Elbit Systems UK

UK: Labour Pays Tribute – 3 Hunger-Strikers Stop [Kamran Ahmed, Heba Muraisi & Lewie Chiaramello], 1 Hunger-Striker [Brave Umar Khalid] Re-Assumes – the Battle Against Israeli-Genocide Continues! (16.1.2026)

They also raised concerns about the treatment of hunger strikers in detention, citing delayed medical care, excessive restraints during hospitalization, denial of family and legal contact and insufficient independent medical oversight.

Labour Party lawmaker John McDonnell said the hunger strikers have also secured meetings with prison officials about their health and conditions, following the news.

“I pay tribute to the dedication of the hunger strikers,” he said on the US social media company X.

Palestine Action was banned in July under the Terrorism Act after members of the group entered a Royal Air Force base and spray painted two aircraft, causing £7 million ($9.44 million) in damage, according to police. Hundreds of pro-Palestine activists have since been arrested across the UK.

A Hero Cuban Soldier - Killed by the Forces of Capitalism!

Why is Socialism Obsessed with “Peace” in the Face of Capitalist Aggression? (5.1.2026)

Pursuing “peace” is the only option the Socialist countries possess – as they do not want to walk into the trap of creating a world-war they cannot win – and which will only benefit the US. The material conditions are not yet right for a military defeat to be inflicted on the US. Indeed, keeping the Socialist countries weak whilst continuously building its own arsenal is precisely what the capitalists must do. The bourgeoise must ruthlessly exploit the purest of materialist science to manufacture its war technology – whilst simultaneously propagating religious (and woolly) thinking within the masses to prevent a rebellion amongst its own workers (thus stopping a spontaneous outburst of homegrown Socialism). War is good for greed-based businesses – whilst Socialism is not – Socialism is only good for widespread justice, peace, security, and collective affluence.

Enest Rosenberg - Hitler' Right-Hand Man - Enjoys a Walk Passed Buckingham Palace in 1936! I High-Water Mark of Hitler's Popularity in the UK!

UK: Looking for the Conditions that Cause British Fascism! (8.8.2025)

Oh yes – the fascist will fall-back on the only agency it uses to answer all these questions – namely “war”. War is just another war of removing political opposition, reducing the population, and creating false booms through full employment (as everyone must serve in the Armed Forces). Again, how long can this mirage exist before the bubble bursts? How long can the unwanted be ignored, alienated, abused, and removed before the socio-economic reality kicks-in? How long will it before the fascist has to pay Ferryman? Mussolini never really conquered economics (Italian machine guns were so poorly constructed that the barrels could be easily “bent” using average arm-strength). Hypocritical Hitler adapted Marxist economics as he had NO economic ideas of his own. This is the Socialist aspect of his thinking – divorced from the ideological framework of Marxism – and is what the Nazis used to quickly cause Germany’s. Hitler was a liar who murdered Marxists whilst using their socio-economic ideas – albeit in distorted form.
