Cuban "Internationalist" Soldiers Murdered by Trump!

Buddhist-Marxism Alliance (UK) – Revolutionary Steering Committee Issues Directive Number 18 – Condemning US Terrorism in Venezuela! (7.1.2026)

Dialectics are at work – as is always the case. Maduro is performing his part perfectly on the international stage of politics. We have utilised a “religious” rhetoric above because so much of contemporary far-right movements are “Judeo-Christian” in nature – with Zionist-Fascism being a distorted reflection of Judaic theology (not all Jews support Zionism or Israel) – but religion still serves to motivate a vast segment of humanity. Maduro might lose his life in an instant (in a hail of bullets) – or he might lose his life slowly over-time sat in an unmonitored US prison-cell. This is part and parcel of playing the part of a proletariat leader in the face of a highly aggressive and powerful capitalist foe. International pressure – and the fact that Trump is domestically unpopular might provide a counter-balance of forces which could see Maduro return safe and well to Venezuela – but Donald Trump is a psychopath whose mental illness has appealed to a vast raft of US voters – twice in the last decade! Once the prey has fallen in the trap – it is unlikely that which has been captured will see the light of day again! 

NYC Americans Support Maduro!

US: Americans Rally in Support of Mr & Mrs Maduro on New York Streets! (6.1.2026)

Remember to check and double-check the “real” news – I do not trust mainstream news – and only sparingly use it for more or less local (or inconsequential) reporting. To be honest, considering the evil the US is inflicting on the people of Venezuela (and Cuba) – the indigenous people of Venezuela are holding together well and presenting good-quality news via alternative news channels. Like the Palestinians – the Venezuelans are suffering – and having to “objectify” this suffering as it unfolds, so that the broader world at large can read (or watch) the evidence of this suffering through various media. Like Israel, the Americans want to break international (and local) law “behind the scenes” – and never be held accountable for these outrageous. Be that as it may, groups of Americans have gathered outside the prison in New York and shown their support for Mr & Mrs Maduro through music and song!

China: Xi Meets Taoiseach of Eire – Micheal Martin! (6.1.2026)

Both China and Ireland cherish peace, embrace openness and inclusiveness, and strive for self-reliance and progress, Xi said, adding that the Chinese and Irish people won national independence and liberation through struggles and are advancing toward modernization through sustained efforts of successive generations.

Since the establishment of the China-Ireland strategic partnership for mutually beneficial cooperation in 2012, bilateral trade volume has quadrupled, with a balanced development in mutual investment, he noted.

Xi said the two countries should maintain friendly exchanges at multiple levels and across diverse fields, continuously enhance communication and mutual understanding, accommodate each other’s core interests and major concerns, consolidate political mutual trust, and solidify the political foundation of bilateral relations.

Wales: Remembering Molly Parkin – a Genuine Human-Being! (6.1.2026)

The 79-year-old former fashion editor of Harpers and Queen said: “There was something about me and my extreme youth that he thought may be pleasing to an actor’s eye.

“He’d lead me from the National Gallery and position me outside every stage door, week after week, before the start of the matinee.

“We’d await the arrival of the stars, the leading actors, hurrying into make-up and costume.”

But they were never summoned backstage.

“Nobody invited us around to their dressing rooms, or slipped a card into my father’s gloved hand, murmuring to get in touch and bring the lovely child along,” she said.

“Time was running out for my father. I was growing older every day. That was his failure, the inability to stop the march of time.

“The first violence began after the failure to find a paramour or protector, or frankly a paedophile, to share his daughter,” she said. “One who might change the family fortunes for the better.

Her dad, who died in 1956, even hoped to pimp his girl to movie legend Errol Flynn, she said.

“He’d read somewhere that Errol Flynn had a penchant for young girls, the younger the better, and began gambling a portion of his wages on a weekly basis to raise the fare to Hollywood for me and himself.”

DPRK - Kim Il Jung Selected Works Review

UK: Amazon Published My Pro-DPRK Review! (5.1.2026)

My Chinese language (and Buddhist) teacher – Richard Hunn (1949-2006) – used to write reviews for Amazon that were so good, Publishers would pay him for quoting these texts in their printed (real-world) versions! As he guided me through the British Academic world – he taught me to review long texts in a shortened but informative format – using Amazon as a testing ground. I wrote hundreds of these prior to 2010 – but soon got fed-up with the political censoring and interference. Indeed, I switched the review process of good books to this very blog as my voice was being crushed by US anti-intellectualism. Here is the Review that got through:

Sutton (South London) - Full Monn - January 5th 2026!

Sutton: Full Moon – January! (5.1.2026)

Not quite the Arctic Tundra – but nevertheless -3 – and abit parky (brass monkeys) as we say in England. There has been a slight scattering of snow in the South – but up North it has been quite bad. There is talk of more snow in London – but talk is cheap! I went running with a 56 lbs pack today – wearing my old sturdy boots – and had tp tread carefully between the fluffy and charming snow and the nasty (hidden) black-ice. I do not fancy taking a tumble at 58-years old. Mind you – I find the cold air bracing and invigorating. Also, I wanted to set an example for Mei-An – my oldest daughter – who had to walk through the ice to school today, the first day back at school in our area.
