Cuba: Young Doctors Denounce the Criminal Impact of the Blockade! (31.3.2026)

31/03/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

Since 1948, the UK initiated a Soviet-style healthcare system paid for by collective taxation – and delivered free at the point of use for all people. Since 1979, however, various governments – including Labour, have bent to US and EU pressure to get rid of the NHS and replace it with a US style system of insurance-based care dependent upon income and status (the rich receive better care than the poor). The NHS is slowly being dismantled and replaced with a deficient, ruthless, and uncaring healthcare system designed to bankrupt an individual over just one injury or illness that needs specialist treatment. As a consequence, young GPs today trained in the UK think that free healthcare is immoral and that it is both natural and right for people to pay extortionate amounts of money for medical treatment. Eyes, eyes, and teeth already have completely been privatised and the body is following along. People are suffering in the UK during this transition. Between 1991-2000 around 10 million Russian people died from medical neglect following the rapid and sudden withdrawal of free health in the former Soviet Union. A similar situation must have existed in the fourteen other countries that comprised the USSR. The West ignored this atrocity (seeing it as natural) – whilst capitalist (Trotskyite) Russians treated it with a sense of denial. The US is currently attempting to destroy Cuban Socialism – and I think they are very close to achieving this objective. The capitalist world does not care and will accept all kinds of War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity – just as long as any form of Socialism is destroyed.

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.

Mexico: Cuban Doctors Have Saved More Than 700,000 Patients in the Country! (15.3.2026)

The more than 3,000 doctors who make up the mission collaborate in 570 municipalities in 29 states, a figure equivalent to 23 percent of the 2,478 municipalities in the national territory. That is, they are in one out of every four demarcations in the country.

“The greatest impact of the Cuban brigade has been to contribute, together with Mexican specialists, to the expansion of medical coverage to populations that previously did not have medical specialists,” according to the sources consulted.

During their stay in Mexico, they have carried out more than 7,500,000 consultations, 114,000 surgeries, 280,000 dialysis sessions and nearly 65,000 high-tech studies.

Donald Trump wants Cuba to be alone, to repeat the history of 1962, when the United States set in motion the expulsion of the OAS, "that ugly thing," which Cubans then laughed at in a guaracha, by the singer Carlos Puebla, and Foreign Minister Raúl Roa described as the Yankee Ministry of Colonies.

Cynicism is coldly displayed in each statement, and he is making them daily: “What is happening with Cuba is incredible, and we believe that we want to fix it… finish this first (a reference to the war against Iran), but it will only be a matter of time before you and many incredible people return to Cuba, hopefully not to stay,” he said and looked at the little narco, I meant Marco Rubio, whom he likes for “doing a fantastic job in a place called Cuba.” and he emphasizes with a cutting threat “and the next one will be… we want to make that Cuba special.” And hoping that the total overwhelm will make “the ripe fruit” fall under its weight, he says that it will be a “friendly takeover”.

The scene of the perfidious manoeuvre was at the Trump National Doral Golf Club, his luxurious resort in Doral, Florida, a few steps from the Miami of the anti-Cuban mafia that he already celebrates.

Twelve “leaders” of the right were summoned and joyfully attended, as declared allies of the U.S. pretensions for the region, which are proclaimed: to end “criminal narco-terrorist gangs and cartels,” to counteract “illegal and massive migration, not only to the United States but to the Western Hemisphere.”

But the Cuban issue was muted, and there were previous reactions from the “adelantados”, as in those 60s: Ecuador has expelled Cuban diplomats, while Honduras and Jamaica left their peoples without the Cuban doctors who for years, in the collaboration brigades, treated them with professionalism and humanism.

US: Americans Know Where a Privatised NHS is Leading! (2.1.2026)

The Americans have only got themselves to blame (I exclude my US comrades who are ill and injured – if it were up to me – you would receive free healthcare NOW) – but we in the UK possess a working-class which fought a brutal World War to put an end to health poverty. Now, my US relatives (yes – they exist) – used to come to the UK to receive “free” healthcare until one of the UK governments put an end to that perk (my father’s sister married a US soldier stationed in the UK – and went to live in Seattle). Now, when a health issue hits, they have to sell a plot of land to raise the funds to pay for operations and treatments. However, just as in the UK – with a restricted NHS – we have to endure various health issues just because there is no money. We literally “save-up” our illnesses until we can no longer take the pain – or the malady becomes life-threatening. Even then, for many there is no avenue of treatment available. As usual, the workers carry-out all the labour, produce all the profit, and receive very little of the earned benefits. We die of starvation surround by an ocean of food, we freeze surrounded by endless houses, and we die of medical neglect surrounded by first-world hospitals stacked with the most advanced drugs and trained experts. Trained experts that receive huge salaries from the very workers they refuse to treat – due to (fascistic) governmental dogma!

Indeed, the voluntary and determined presence of Indians in the Confederate Infantry defied all Northern attempts to paint the South as culturally backward. The North had never succeeded in convincing the Indians to be happy about their own genocide – but here was the Confederate South treating the Indians as fellow “human-beings” – and making way for their warriors to serve alongside White Men in the frontlines. On the official front, the Confederacy formed a specific Indian Regiment led by General Albert Pike. During the Civil War, he commanded the Confederacy’s Indian Territory, and raised troops in this area – and exercised Field Command in at least one battle (although Watson mentions his name – and Indian troops – a number of times). After the South lost the Civil War – the North simply carried-on its pre-war policy of genocide – depicting the Indians as “savages” and wiping their pro-Confederate struggle from the history books.
