The Hula-Hoop was Not New - But the US Tried to Turn into a Fitness Fade!

USSR: Modern Russians Lying About Soviet Russia – It’s the Hula-Hoop All-Over Again! (2.8.2026)

Years later, I learned that at least Republics of the USSR were “Buddhist” and of various ethnicities (including “Tibetan”). More to the point, the 1936 Soviet Constitution guaranteed racial equality for a) everyone born in the USSR, and b) for everyone visiting the USSR. Even today, I am often mistaken for “Russian” of the Soviet-era – as this explains my “Chinese” partner. This often happens in and around the Soviet War Memorial in London. Modern Russian people, at least those in the pay of the US, should stop lying about the glorious past that is the USSR. It was – and still remains – the US (not Russia or the USSR) that is the most racist country on earth. Even their Black President Obama instigated Neo-Nazism in Ukraine – destroying the Slavic people both sides of the divide. I wish young Russians would think about what they are writing – about the false narratives they are buying into. This is why I have carried-out a lot of translation work for the Communist Parties of Lugansk and Donetsk – as that is my ideological doorway into modern Russia. Of course, I am not Russian – and do not pretend to be. I am a Sinotised Celt – and that’s about it. I value historical truth other disinformation. The world could learn much under a USSR under Lenin and Stalin. After-all, 41 million Soviets were killed and wounded assisting the UK as allies during WWII.

Respect Shown to Elderly Heroes!

DPRK: Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un Sends Gifts to War Veterans on 73rd V-day! (26.7.2026)

A grand event will take place in Pyongyang, the capital city of the DPRK, to celebrate the 73rd anniversary of the victory in the great Fatherland Liberation War.

Warm congratulations are extended from across the country to the heroes of the legendary era, who are glorifying their honourable life as the first-generation defenders of the country and dear revolutionary forerunners held in respect by the Workers’ Party of Korea and the people, in the run-up to July 27, the war victory day.

The war veterans and persons of wartime merits invited to the significant V-day celebrations were warmly seen off by officials of the Party and power organs, working people, families and relatives in the relevant areas.

They arrived here on July 25 and senior officials of the Central Committee of the Workers’ Party of Korea warmly greeted them at Pyongyang Railway Station and lodging quarters.

UK: Xia Leon [Asteryth] Sloane – “Award-Winning” British Composer Dies at 26! (24.7.2026)

I’m a person-centred therapist with particular interest and experience in working with survivors of abuse and complex trauma. I believe that therapeutic work is revolutionary in the ways it can go against the grain of the violence and brutality of past and present experiences in both personal and global contexts. As a queer, autistic, blind person, it’s especially important to me to hold curious, authentic, and anti-oppressive spaces for all who come to my practice.

Real Football is Non-League!

Mexico: Schools for Chiapas – What Football Has United – Let No State Divide! (16.7.2026)

As the count of disappeared already surpasses 133,000, in a show of the Mexican state’s indifference, current President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo mocked, questioned, and criminalized these families’ struggle, at press conferences accusing some of these collectives of receiving funding and answering to the interests of opposition political parties.

While there is no exact figure, organizations like Amnesty International cite more than 200 collectives across the country. In this context, alleging that the movement has been co-opted functions less as fact and more as a vile tactic of delegitimization. President Sheinbaum Pardo seeks to mask a painful reality with the supposed joy that comes from soccer as a capitalist spectacle.

The sheer scope of the violence behind the disappearance crisis can be seen in the range of its victims — among them civilians disappeared by the military alongside members of the armed forces themselves; people presumably linked to the criminal economy, and many more who simply refused to pay extortion fees. “Collateral damage,” a former president once called it. All are searched for equally; no disappearance is justified, and no one deserves to disappear.

During National Service, he became a piper in the Cameron Highlanders.

Scotland: Tribute to Working-Class Hero – Mr Andy Anderson [1938-2026] – Former Cameron Highlander Piper! (2.7.2026)

In his book about the battle, he wrote: “We were not, as we first thought, just opposing a government. We were in fact opposing the whole mindset, which was itself a captive of international companies who were determined to use the Skye Bridge project as an experiment.”

Andy would become a key independence campaigner in the years that followed. After the referendum loss, he helped found the Scottish Currency Group, which continues to this day.

Three years ago, he founded the grassroots campaign Respect Scottish Sovereignty, which calls for decentralised direct democracy, allowing ordinary people to stand up for their rights against government authority.

Andy and Doreen moved to Saltcoats around a decade ago, before moving to their home next to Ardrossan Cemetery three years ago.

His daughter, Theresa Derbyshire, said: “He was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer a year ago and he survived a lot longer than anyone expected. My brother and his wife stay with them in house and the whole family looked after him.

“We are expecting a lot of people to come from all over to pay their respects at his funeral later this month. ”

Andy’s funeral service will be held at 2.30pm on July 27 at the Holmsford Bridge Crematorium in Dreghorn.

Díaz-Canel to Parliament: Cuba changes to get up, to live better, to continue being free

Cuba: Parliament – Díaz-Canel – “Cuba Adapts to Stand-Taller, to Live-Better, to Continue Being-Free”! (20.6.2026)

Due to its high human value, an idea was shared by the Head of State at the closing of the day of analysis: “On a day like today,” he stressed, “in which we remember with particular emotion and nostalgia dear Vilma, a woman who was a clandestine and guerrilla fighter, innovative engineer, founder of spaces and policies for the promotion and defense of women’s rights in Cuba and the rest of the world, at the request of comrade Teresa, secretary of the Federation of Cuban Women, and other women who have called our attention to the need to protect and promote their advances, on behalf of the Party and the Government, I confirm the commitment to pay special attention to ensure that there is never a setback in the policies for the advancement of Cuban women, when implementing the new economic and social measures”.
