Cuba: President Miguel Díaz Canel: “Whoever Rises-Up for the Cuban People – Rises-Up for All Time – What is Being Done to Cuba Can Be Done to Anyone!” (4.7.2026)

LDJ: Taking into account this recent history of aggression against Venezuela, against Iran, while these negotiations were taking place, is there fear in Cuba that, at the same time that they are trying to dialogue with the United States, they are plotting?

MDC: There is a perception in Cuba that there is a danger of aggression. A danger of aggression, because they are constantly saying it. We are not saying it, they are saying it.

We have mobilized the population for defense. Every Friday is National Defense Day. The people are preparing. We have updated all the plans for the defense readiness.

We have the example of what it means to know how to defend oneself: the 32 combatants in Venezuela. Those did fight. They were able to stop the action of an elite force of the United States that surpassed them in technology, in numbers, in weapons and, in addition, because of the element of surprise. And yet, they fought heroically. There were thirty-two of them. What will not become of millions of Cubans willing to defend their homeland, to defend the Revolution?

Cancer Medicine Defeats US Blockade!

Cuba: Anti-Cancer “Cytostatic Production” Reactivated in Defiance of US Blockade! (8.6.2026) 

For her part, Mayda Mauri Pérez underscored the current moment and highlighted the solid alliance between the biopharmaceutical and health sectors as an essential pillar to sustain the supply of cancer drugs to the Cuban population, despite the intensification of the economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed by the United States.

The visit was also attended by medical oncologists, who exchanged criteria with the managers on therapeutic priorities, thus ensuring that the production responds directly to the clinical needs of patients.

The reactivation of this plant is not an isolated event: it is an eloquent example of how the Cuban biotechnology industry and the Public Health System work in total alliance, under the same objective: to guarantee the coverage of essential medicines at the most pressing time. In a country that faces externally induced shortages, each drug produced in this plant represents sovereignty, hope and commitment to the right to health of all Cubans.

St Nicholas Church (Sutton) - Exterior

Sutton: St Nicholas Church – Stain-Glass & Stones Exhibition! (14.9.2025)

The history of England lies primarily within the grounds, buildings, and written records of its local Churches, who dealt with this information a long time before the Secular State developed – or was able to do so. The Local Authorities of Sutton possess a peculiar attitude toward local history – as if time started again in 1965 (and all previous history was wiped-out when Sutton was part of “East Surrey”) – when Sutton became part of Greater (South-West) London. Of course, for a price, Sutton Library might help you via an online enquiry – but this data is free during a personal visit. Whatever the case, always be on the look-out for local open-days and local historians.

VI Lenin Denied the Use of Terrorism!

Lenin: Adventurism [1914] – Perspectives on Political Violence! (11.9.2025)

If we, as workers, want to wrestle the control of the means of production from our oppressors, then we, as workers, must be worthy of the task. We must build-up the inner and outer strength which becomes so powerful – because it is right – that no resistance can overcome (or prevent) its success. Although there can always be exceptions to general rules – individualist acts of terror remain firmly within the realms of fascism and should be avoided at all costs. A criminal possess rights. They should be arrested, fairly held in custody, given a fair trial, and then either punished or released – depending upon the verdict of the jury. As workers, we can only exercise this type of judicial power if we work hard enough to earn it. We must find ways of overcoming our poverty and transcending the injustices we face on a daily basis – in a civilised and rarefied manner. Being oppressed is an occupational hazard – it need not define your sense of self-worth. As workers, we must be stronger than the suffering that capitalist market forces inflict upon our minds and bodies! As workers – we do not need to resort to venal terrorism!

Two Revolutionaries!

UK: From Workers’ Rights – All Other Rights Flow! (1.2.2025)

The problem is so bad that even gay groups side with the opinions of bourgeois reaction and attack the progressive record of the USSR. This is why I do not support “bourgeois” gay rights groups per se (although I do support gay people in general). This is because bourgeois gay people are class enemies who support predatory capitalism. On the other hand, I do support Revolutionary workers who might choose to identify as Socialists or Communists first and foremost – and who are also distinctive in their other self-perceptions (a small number of the original Bolsheviks are said to have been gay – with this being known to Lenin). The point is that fighting for bourgeois acceptance is not good enough – as it leaves all the injustices of capitalism in place. It is through the overthrow of capitalism that all other Revolutionary change will come. Just being bourgeois and gay is not good enough!

Mao Zedong Achieved the Revolution in 1949!

Email: Smoking-Out the Anti-China Trotskyites! (19.12.2024)

Obviously, we can work-out the true intention of Trotskyites by observing the shadows they throw – whilst analysing the imprints they leave behind in their nests. We can also study their droppings (that which passes as their intellectual arguments). A smelly process, I know, but a process that must be carefully repeated time and time again until the threat is revealed and removed. The Trotskyites are using the economic argument against China – so we can ascertain that this cannot be their actual – or intended – target. No, just as Socialism grows out of capitalism – and is entirely economically driven – the answer must lie elsewhere.
