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?

Mao's Little Red Book Leads the Way!

UK: Understanding the Bourgeois Play-Book & It’s Many Dog Whistles! (12.6.26)

To round it all off – the reactionary religions weigh-in with their general support of the bourgeoisie and its greed-orientated capitalist system. Meanwhile, many of us who have “ingested” the play-book of the bourgeoise start to act-out its requirements in the physical world. When one side attacks the other – the State unleashes the judiciary to further punish these victims of manipulation. The media then reports the trials as a form of entertainment – and the resulting sentences as a form of religious retribution. Working-class self-education is the only way out of this situation. We must uproot greed, hatred, and delusion and work toward our own inner and outer well-being. Remember – the prevailing narratives (as entertaining as they are) – are AL false and have no bearing in reality. It is all about “power” and securing its contination.

Media Office of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine – Lebanon.

PFLP: The Popular Front meets with Fatah in the North! (3.6.2026)

The delegation began by conveying the Front’s congratulations on the success of the Eighth General Conference of the Fatah Movement and on the occasion of Eid al-Adha. Then the attendees held a discussion about the conditions our people are living in in the camps in light of the war being waged against Lebanon and its south, especially our people’s camps in the south and the massive displacement to the northern region. Both sides praised the important role played by the popular committees in the northern region in terms of caring for and supporting our displaced people, especially the communication with international and local institutions that contributed to alleviating their suffering.

Fifth National Exercise for the Prevention and Confrontation of Crime, Corruption, Drugs, Illegalities and Social Indiscipline

Cuba: Actions Intensify to Prevent & Confront US-Inspired Crime! (19.5.2026)

There is a US-financed (it is all about money – and has always been about money for the Yankee Imperialists) Fifth Column operating within the Cuban Mainland. These individual men and women have secret ties to the US government which rewards their families living in the US and guarantees an affluent retirement when their destructive work is over. The propaganda against Socialist Cuba is seen everywhere in the West – even fictitious crime-dramas like “Dexter” – which whilst conveying the psychopathic tendencies of a forensic expert working for the police, still manages to present “Cuba” (and “Cubans”) as being hopelessly impoverished and just waiting for an opportunity of literally “throwing” their immaciated bodies into the sea and somehow “floating” to US shores (where Dexter is waiting to kill the survivors and stockpile their remains in a convenient warehouse). This is not an exaggerated racist trope – and we had to stop watching (consuming) this show as a protest. Cuban sportspeople – often dominant Boxers – are portrayed as drug-riddled lunatics who win not because Socialism generates a superior person – but because their system is deficient and insane. Alice is definitely “Through tthe Looking Glass”.

Speech delivered by Miguel Mario Díaz-Canel Bermúdez, First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba and President of the Republic, at the closing of the International Meeting of Solidarity with Cuba, at the Convention Center, on May 2, 2026, "Year of the Centennial of Commander in Chief Fidel Castro Ruz."

Cuba: May Day Speech Delivered at the Closing of the International Meeting of Solidarity! (3.5.2026)

When it is said that we are an extraordinary and unusual threat to the United States – and we are sure that this is not the feeling of the American people, that is the pretext used by the American government to attack us – one wonders: What is the threat, what is extraordinary about that threat, what is unusual about that threat, when Cuba is a country of peace, when Cuba is a country that has served as the setting for the main peace dialogues in the Latin American and Caribbean region, when Cuba was the place where the Catholic Church and the Russian Orthodox Church came to meet to resolve the schism they had maintained for more than fifteen hundred years?

I try to answer that question every day, but, as Bruno explains, there is no pretext, there is no reason to justify military aggression against Cuba. Well, that “extraordinary and unusual threat” may be the example of resistance and creativity of the Cuban people.

When we talk about solidarity, I think we are talking about three elements that distinguish the value of international solidarity:

One is the tenderness of the peoples, because among all of us we have learned to share something that Fidel taught us, and that is that we do not give out of solidarity what we have left over, but we give what we have to share it among all.
