Hereford is the place where the (professional) 22nd Special Air Service (SAS) has its military base and airfield. Many men in this area either have been in the British Army – or are members of the ‘V’ (‘Volunteer’) Squadron of the SAS. This is a ‘Territorial Army’ (TA) Unit in the 22nd SAS that allows local men to try ‘Selection’ and if successful – join this highly elite group of men. Believe or not – there are individuals out there who are not in the British Army (and have never been in the military) and yet are physically and psychologically tough enough to meet this challenge!

Socialist Organisational Structures in Napoleon’s Elite ‘Imperial Guard’ [Garde Imperiale]! (6.9.2023)

In the UK, Oliver Cromwell’s ‘New Model Army’ possessed such structures (abolished after the so-called ‘Restoration’ of a Constitutional Monarchy in the UK) – as did the Soviet Red Army. Today, the Armed Fotces of Cuba, China, Vietnam, Laos and North Korea possess ‘People’s Armies’ all possessing a strict discipline which is coupled with egalitarian bodies where all constituent members are considered ‘equal’! The British Regiments of Foot which took on and finally defeated the ‘Imperial Guard’ at the (1815) Battle of Waterloo – picked-up the bearskin hats worn by the ‘Grande Armee’ – and after removing the regimental name plates, insignia and symbols of rank, were granted permission by the British government to wear these garments as part of their parade uniforms.

Syrian: President Bashar al-Assad Abolishes 55-Year-Old Court-Martial Law! (4.9.2023)

The presidential decree ordered all active cases to be transferred to the traditional military court.

“All cases referred to military field courts in their current state are to be transferred to military judiciary for prosecution in accordance with the provisions of the penal code and the principles of military trials,” read the presidential decree.

According to Legislative Decree No. 109 of 1968, later amended by two other legislative decrees, the military field court is responsible for crimes falling under the jurisdiction of the military court during times of war and military operations.

The new decision comes as Syria has returned to the Arab fold and the Syrian government was reportedly required to boost the effort for a political solution to the country’s more than 12-year war.

London: St James Palace! (25.8.2023)

We had to head South-West from Trafalgar Square around 0.6 miles toward Buckingham Palace. Our intention was to show the children – Mei-An and Kai-Lin – how the soldiers carry-out their duties in an orderly and well-organised manner. Although the frontline ‘Guards’ had been drawn back away from the crowds decades ago at Buckingham Palace – I knew that the general public could still get reasonable close at the nearby St James Palace – but on the day of our visit – the soldiers were not to be seen in their usual places! Indeed, most were absent except for the side-gate which is used for the main entrance (pictured above) – but even here – the soldiers had been pulled-back behind the metal fence and away from the public.

China: Ministry of State Security (MSS) Detects CIA Penetration of Mainland! (22.8.2023)

Li Jun revealed to Hao that he was a member of the CIA’s Tokyo station. He hoped Hao to join him and asked Hao to work in a core department of China after returning to China. Hao agreed and signed an espionage agreement with the U.S. side and accepted the assessment and training from the U.S.

After returning to China, Hao managed to work in a nation-level department and continued to meet secretly with CIA personnel many times in China, providing a large amount of China’s confidential information to the U.S. and collecting espionage funds from the CIA.

1939-1940: When England Supported “Fascist” Finland! (20.8.2023)

The idea of the British Bourgeois Establishment fervently opposing Russia and offering limitless accommodation and resources to fascist degenerates is nothing new! Even after the UK had declared war on Nazi German during late 1939 – the UK media soon forgot about Hitler and turned its maniacal guns upon the USSR! Today, I wrote about the ‘revisionism’ expressed in the bourgeois literature issued by the ‘International Brigades Memorial Trust’ (IBMT) whose propagandists are always agitating against the ‘Socialist’ nature of these military units through their work which continuously plays-down the importance of the USSR in the fight against fascism in Spain. Richard Baxell, for example, without offering ANY historical background or context – seems to think that the British Veterans of the International Brigades should have supported the various post-1945 Neo-Nazi Uprisings across Eastern Europe whilst opposing the USSR – as perverse as that sounds! This is what Alexander Werth recalls from those times:
