Honour the Treaties President Trump!

US: Trump Cuts “Free” & “Subsidised” Healthcare to Native American Indians – Breaking Decades-Old Treaty! (4.6.2025)

The National Indian Health Board said in a letter to Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. last month that tribal communities had lost more than 6 million U.S. dollars in grants from HHS agencies.

The cuts may affect community health workers, vaccination programmes and data modernization efforts, said Janet Alkire, chairperson of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe on the South Dakota and North Dakota border.

“We have not been consulted with meaningfully on any of these actions,” said Liz Malerba of the United South and Eastern Tribes Sovereignty Protection Fund, as tribal leaders argued the cuts violate federal treaty obligations.

Native Americans suffer higher rates of chronic illness and shorter life expectancy than the general population, said the report.

Public Enemy Vinyl 1988

UK: My 1988 Vinyl Publc Enemy Album – “It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back!” (3.6.2025)

From 1945 to present – the US Military has killed 30 million people around the world enforcing regime change and the perpetuation of the predatory capitalist system. On September 11th – the US lost around 2,996 – a number that is dropping all the time. Following this episode, the powers that be in the US decided that the era of Black people making anti-Statist propaganda was over – and that now record companies were instructed to shift Black angst into the direction of making-money – as no other content would be tolerated. The point of this was to prevent a working-class, pro-Socialist movement forming around the edgy music of the Black Power movement. After 911, the very Eurocentric mechanism that had developed slavery and enforced racism – i.e. predatory capitalism – was to be the very same mechanism that would offer Black people freedom from future slavery – in a utopia were money can purchase a secure (gated community) existence “free” of racism.

Confederate Soldiers Defend - Battle of the Crater

CSA: A Western Theatre Southern “Private” and “General” Discuss Slavery and the Negro Soldiers of the North! (3.6.2025)

Many American Civil War historical narratives give the (false) impression that the Confederacy lost at Gettysburg in 1863 – staggered on with a futile resistance for two-more years – and then surrendered at Appomattox. Nothing could be further from the truth. Tens of thousands of men bravely fought, died and were wounded on both sides between 1863-1865 – with the Confederacy  winning a number of notable victories after Gettysburg. Private Daniel Kelly quoted above, fought in the Confederate Army in the Western Theatre of the Confederacy – as opposed to the far more famous Eastern Theatre (where Gettysburg was situated). Furthermore, Black, Chinese and Native American men fought in the Confederate Army – but their presence is more or less “erased” from history because such a presence tends to lead to inconvenient and even embarrassing questions.

Cultural Items Handed Back - 2022!

Exeter: Clothing, Feathers, Bow & Regalia Respectfully Handed-Back to Siksika Nation! (1.6.2025)

Chief Crowfoot said, “Bringing these items back home to Siksika is a historic event. Many items left Siksika and other Nations and were scattered across the globe. Now the tides are turning and these items are finding their way back home. Crowfoot’s entire essence is in and around Blackfoot territory and this is where his belongings should be housed.

“We are building strong relationships with curators at several museums as well as private collectors in an effort to bring items such as the ones coming home back to their rightful place. There are many more Blackfoot items still in need of being claimed and repatriated back to their rightful homeland. To me, it is not as important how these items left Siksika, but what is important is how we bring them back home.”

The Siksika Nation will lend Chief Crowfoot’s belongings to Blackfoot Crossing Historical Park for display and the education of all peoples around their significance as part of world history, together with their journey to the UK and their return to the Chief’s traditional homelands.

Trump Like My Dome Musk

DPRK: Trump Threatens World with “Golden Dome”! (28.5.2025)

According to the memorandum, the U.S. plan for the “Golden Dome” missile defense system setting it as a goal to closely defend the Continent of North America from the ballistic missile, cruise missile and supersonic missile attack by its strategic enemy states is a typical product of “America first”, the height of self-righteousness, arrogance, high-handed and arbitrary practice, and is an outer space nuclear war scenario supporting the U.S. strategy for uni-polar domination with the preemptive establishment of the outer space-based military substructure, not a “defensive measure” to cope with the “threat” from someone.

Stalin the Thinker!

UK: A Comradely Warning to Today’s Youth – Do Not Follow the Example of “Elias Rodriguez”! (27.5.2025)

This militancy is directly equal to the suppressive-force that has produced it – but is it relevant, required, or legitimate for a mass working class movement to be effective? Remember, Karl Marx firmly rejected pointless acts of terrorism – which he defined as being separate and distinct from the acts of genuine working class self-defence. The point is that the working class must possess iron-like discipline if it is to achieve its objectives within a bourgeois society. Pointless acts of individualistic “terrorism” ultimately achieve nothing positive, and always lead to the working class being collectively punished for the actions of a few. Now, on the Bronx Anti-War site, and many others like it, there is a general eulogising of the actions of one “Elias Rodriguez” – a Hispanic-American man. Indeed, there is a very well-developed “Free Elias Rodriguez” Campaign much to my astonishment.
