Spain: Brave Fire Brigade Saves Historic Combined Mosque-Cathedral from Blaze! (9.8.2025)

“That allowed them to know all the entrances, the hallways, where they could hook up their hoses,” he said

Forensics police were at the scene to try to determine the cause of the fire.

ABC and other newspapers reported that a mechanical sweeping machine had caught fire in the site.

The site was built as a mosque — on the site of an earlier church — between the 8th and 10th centuries by the southern city’s then Muslim ruler, Abd ar-Rahman, an emir of the Umayyad dynasty.

After Christians reconquered Spain in the 13th century under King Ferdinand III of Castile, it was converted into a cathedral and architectural alterations were made over following centuries.

UNESCO designated the building a World Heritage Site in 1984, calling it “an architectural hybrid that joins together many of the artistic values of East and West and includes elements hitherto unheard-of in Islamic religious architecture, including the use of double arches.”

US: 1947 Texas City Explosion – Worse Than Chernobyl! (15.5.2023)

The Texas City Explosion – or ‘Disaster’ – refers to a chain of chemical reactions that caused a number of devastating explosions! These tragic events unfolded on April 16th, 1947 – when a fire ignited a shipment of ‘ammonium nitrate’ stored on a cargo vessel moored in Texas City’s harbour of Galveston Bay! The explosion killed about 600 people and injured more than 3,500! The ship’s anchor was propelled over 1.6 miles away and a vast area of Texas resembled the destroyed terrain of the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki – after the US dropping of two Atomic Bombs during late 1945! The devastation was so widespread that it wiped-out the local Fire Brigade and destroyed all ‘four’ of its Fire Engines! Although there have been many (and numerous) sinister ‘nuclear’ accidents throughout US history – this explosion is considered one of the worst in history (similar to the Beirut explosion of 2020) and more initially destructive than the Chernobyl nuclear accident that occured in the USSR during 1986!

France: The Under-Reported Mass Protests Againt US and EU Policy in Neo-Nazi Ukraine! (2.5.2023)

This is class politics in action. The Bourgeois media will not assist the interests of the working class in anyway! This is a clear indication of which class controls the means of production in the West – and which class does not! In this case, the Proletariat of France has taken to the streets and has been fighting (for several months) against the French government’s refusal to stand up to the US and say ‘NO’ to the Biden’s bullying tactics! These are the US foreign policies used against Russia and America’s unconditional support for the Neo-Nazi Junta that currently occupies Kyiv and West (Catholic) Ukraine! I am told that the Socialists and Communists are also out in force on the streets of Paris!
