Surrey: WWII Anderson Shelter – Rural Life Living Museum! (29.5.2026)

The fact that thousands of working-class people in London took to the Tube tunnels for safety demonstrates just how few people possessed these shelters. My mother’s family – which lived in Lewisham – did possess one of these “Anderson Shelters” – and it saved their lives when Hitler’s bombers finally came! During September, 1941, Hitler targetted the working-class areas of London with the intention of either wiping-out the working-class (and preventing them joining the British Armed Forces) or scaring them so much that they would not volunteer to fight Hitler. Hitler destroyed large parts of Lewisham – which included my mother’s family home. They had took cover in the shelter and as my grandfather was piling-up the sand-bags around the door – when the bombs fell that destotyed their house and street!

Field-Stripping Devices is an Important Skill!

Surrey: Gee & Kai-Lin Field Strip & Assemble a Wooden Stool! (29.5.2026)

Anyway, we visited the “Rural Life Living Museum” (ob May 28th, 2026) – not far from the log-cabin area we were staying at in Tilford (a bourgeois cesspit of wealth). We have visited similar places not far from Sutton, and also in Oxford, Devon, and Cornwall. Many Moons ago, I visited places like this in the Lake District and in Scotland. They are essentially centres of education for school-children – and for adults to reminisce. My childhood (pre-Star Wars) was a very different reality to that which exists today. The working-class pre-1977 were very localised in mentality – with the middle-class attending university and developing a world-wide appreciation. This difference in education always benefits the middle-class who understand more and are able to use this knowledge to keep the workers in their place. Stll, it was a good day out and I will have to author a number of posts to cover it all.

Iran’s Civil Aviation Organization (CAO) has condemned in the strongest terms a US-Israeli attack on a civilian aircraft carrying medicines and medical equipment sent by other countries to the Islamic Republic.

Iran: Latest US-Israeli “War crime” – Civilian Aeroplane Carrying Medicines Attacked! (30.3.2026)

Whilst South Africa bravely stood-up to Israeli racism – the US has punished South Africa – but continued to ignore the continuous fascistic crimes committed by Israel. Furthermore, the US, even before the demise of the USSR, continued to emulate the behaviour of Israel by committing War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity. This explains the pattern of behaviour being exhibited by the US and Israel with regards to its illegal (terroristic) attack on Iran – and explains why many of the countries in the world have remained “silent” in the face of this unfolding horror. This is after the US and Israel forced the Western world to support the corrupt and murderous regime currently destroying Neo-Nazi Ukraine (because of the UK government giving billions to Israel and Ukraine – prices have reason five or six-times in quick succession over recent years – this is why we are suffering in the UK for US and Israeli fascism). This is the so-called “superior morality” of the capitalist West in action.

US: Trump Stunned by Iranian Refusal to Surrender – Political Analyst! (17.3.2026)

So, here is the choice – a left-leaning Islamicist regime (that also attracts centrist and right-wing Islamic views) vs a right-leaning Zionist regime (funded by the US) – that is rejected by the left in the West. The analysis in the below article might be termed “secular” in the modern sense, as it attempts to materially (and impartially) assess the existential material conditions pertaining to the US-Israeli War on Iran. I say “impartial” – but of course this assessment is from a (capitalist) bourgeois perspective. It is as impartial as a US university can muster – and only then because there is a system-wde dissatisfaction with the Trump regime. Remember, Obama (the Democrat) threatened Iran with a military invasion, and the destruction of Iran is as popular with the Democrats as it is with the Republicans. The type of discontent being expressed below is really about attacking Trump and his decisions. If a different leader was in power in the US – who had not attacked the US education system – most US universities would be pumping-out pro-war ideology by now. Press TV, of course, appears to be a UK based, left-leaning Islamicist-friendly channel supported by disaffected leftists (and former Labour MPs) – that pursues its own amorphous (but slightly Trotskyite) agenda. Marxist-Leninists must learn to “see through” the propaganda (left and right) and extract the required material details from it. This is one of our required survival skills – living within the capitalist system.

PFLP Analyses the Plight of Women Confronted By Zionist Hatred!

PFPL: International Women’s Day – the View from Gaza & Lebanon! (11.3.2026)

First, on this occasion, we extend our warmest congratulations and appreciation to the Palestinian people, and to every Palestinian woman – the martyr, the prisoner, the wounded, the educator, the mother, the fighter, the displaced, and the refugee – for her steadfastness and resilience in the face of challenges and hardships. Palestinian women have always been, and remain, a beacon of hope for their people, and a symbol of unwavering strength and dignity in all circumstances. On this occasion, we note that the resilience of Palestinian women is embodied in their daily actions, their capacity for endurance and sacrifice, their protection of the family and society, and their strengthening of national identity and collective memory. What Palestinian women have offered in these difficult circumstances is legendary steadfastness, embodying the will of an entire people in the face of occupation and displacement, and affirming that the will to live and live with dignity cannot be broken.

China: US-Israeli War Crimes Must Be Answered For! (7.3.2026)

The New York Times also criticized the attack. “This was a decision made by one man with no legal basis, little public support and no coherent explanation of an endgame,” it commented.

“Mr. Trump’s authoritarianism is not abstract. There is nothing stopping him from wielding the awesome power of the United States to serve his own interests, not the public’s. War should never be normal. We don’t know where this one will lead, but we do know that it has already killed untold civilians — including dozens of girls who did nothing but go to school. The desensitization of Americans to this kind of violence is part of what is broken in our society,” it said.

The Middle East, long afflicted by the flames of war, often traces its suffering back to the interventions of hegemonic powers. This latest joint military action by the U.S. and Israel constitutes not only a grave violation of Iran’s sovereignty and security but also brings more uncertainties to the region.
