Russia: II [2025] International Anti-Fascist Forum! (1.9.2026)

It is peculiar that the “DPRK” (North Korea) is not on this list – considering how close Russia and Pyongyang actually are. I think North Korean troops may have been fighting and dying in Kursk around this time. Furthermore, the UK is missing off this list – but there were delegates from the “New Communist Party”. A number of these countries, at one time or other, possessed Communist entities that perpetuated the Trotskyite view that Russia was “imperialist” – a position I reject. I suspect that this situation emerges from there being a number of competing Communist entities within each sovereign geographical boundary. There are some that support – and some that oppose – Russia. But Russia must be supported once the fog of inverted thinking and subjectivism is lifted. Finally, it is an important observation that Communist statues pursue the task of inspiring the working-class by visually stimulating the Bolshevik dialectic.

Giorgia Meloni - Prime Minister of Italy - Dismisses Absurd Trump Criticism!

DPRK: Giorgia Meloni – Prime Minister of Italy – Dismisses Absurd Trump Criticism! (23.6.2026)

I came across this odd little article on an Italian-language (Telegram) channel – a straight translation from the original Korean into Italian. As the Korean News in the North is flexible and dynamic – not all stories make it into English translation – so I need to be vigilant. I thought this is interesting as Trump’s usual denial of just how unpopular he is seems to be fraying around the edges!

The photograph, taken by Italian photojournalist Pietro Masturzo in the village of Idhna, west of Hebron, documents Israeli settlers and occupation soldiers obstructing Palestinian farmers at the start of the olive harvest. Masturzo described armed settlers, some in military-style clothing, arrived with Israeli forces and prevented residents from accessing their land, describing the scene as part of a wider pattern long recorded across the West Bank.

European Solidarity Convoy to Cuba - Let Cuba Breath!

Cuba: European Solidarity Convoy Arrives in Havana! (18.3.2026)

Also a French MEP, Emma Fourreau, insisted that the first thing to do for the cause of the Caribbean nation is to talk to the whole world about it and how it is affected by the economic war that is being applied to it.

In this way, she pointed out that by knowing first-hand the Cuban reality they will be able to be better spokespersons for the Cuban struggle at the international level.

“The most important thing is to listen and learn what Cubans have to say; This is a first step, a symbolic action that will attract the attention of the rest of the planet,” she concluded.

Cuba’s ambassador to Italy, Jorge Luis Cepero, went to Rome’s Fiumicino Airport on Tuesday to bid farewell to the members of the European Solidarity Convoy that left for Havana.

The diplomat highlighted in statements to reporters at that air terminal the relevance of the gesture, a sign of the close ties of friendship that unite the peoples of Italy and Cuba, and of the strong rejection in this nation of the genocidal economic, commercial and financial blockade of the United States against the island.

Italy: Relics of St Francis of Asisi – Placed on Display! (23.2.2026)

The story of the tomb of St. Francis, hidden for centuries beneath the main altar, lends an almost mystical undertone to this new era. After his death in 1226, the body was carefully hidden to avoid theft or desecration. It was only discovered in 1818, after a long search, and since then, several verifications have been carried out — most recently in 2015 –, which confirmed the authenticity and good state of preservation of the relics. Those bones, marked by the suffering and wounds of the Crucified One, are the physical echo of a life spent for love. The Basilica of St. Francis will become, during that month, the spiritual heart of the world. A massive influx of pilgrims from all Continents is expected. To guarantee a serene and prayerful experience, a free and mandatory reservation system has been established through the website http://www.sanfrancescovive.org, which is available in several languages.
