Japan: US-controlled FIBA Describe China Basket-Ball Win as “Sneaky” – Following Dramatic Last-Gasp Come-Back! (2.3.2026)

My interest in basket-ball is “zero” – despite my daughters having to play “net-ball” at school (a slightly different – but related game). Of course, this is an Odious US game – and I would much rather watch a sedate game of cricket (there was nothing “sedate” about the West Indies at their peak). However, over the years I have been contacted here and there by “modern” Mainland Chinese people (usually male academics) who for some reason find basket-ball enthralling. They know the names of all the US players (?) and think that every other European country must share in this obsession. When confronted with this banality – my eyes simply glaze-over. But – we are where we are. I believe that during WWII – the anti-Japanese racism employed by the US government (as part of the war-effort) – involved a “pop song” entitled “We’re Gonna Have to Sl’p the D’rty Little J’p” song by Carson Robison.

Iraq: Pro-Iranians Over-Run US Embassy in Baghdad’s Green Zone! (1.2.2026)

Iran is putting-up a plucky defence of itself against the industrial might of the US – and the fabricated might of Zionist Israel. If the reports are true – over 500 US military personnel have been killed in targetting strikes around the Middle East – including around 5-ships sunk or disabled for violating the closed seas around Iran. Iran is expertly using missiles and drones to good effect – but for how long? It is a clever use of asymmetric warfare as it bypasses the massive advantage the US possesses with its convectional airforce and bombers. Iran’s drone and missile technology is a remarkable development and adaptation. The main problem is that neither China nor Russia will come to the aid of Iran as the former values unhindered world trade over ideology – and Russia is already bogged-down in a costly proxy-war with the US in Ukraine. Harsh words condemning US actions are pointless whilst the US continues to inflict material damage on the world with impunity. The bourgeois media and broken education system in the West ensures that the proletariat are continuously taking the wrong-side – and sympathising with the oppressors against the oppressed.

Iran: Latest US-Israeli War Crime – 170 School Girls Murdered [At Least 95 Wounded] with Western-Supplied Missiles! (28.2.2026)

The West (including Israel) implemented an illegal overthrow of the democratically elected government in Ukraine – and instigated in its place the “Maidan” Neo-Nazi junta. It is interesting that thousands of IDF Veterans have travelled to Kyiv to join its Neo-Nazi “Azov” Battalions (along with untold numbers of Jews from around the world) – whilst simultaneously still upholding a pronounced victimhood regarding the Nazi German holocaust (which my grandparents risked their lives fighting during WWII). These contradictions need to stop and Israel must be held accountable for its despicable behaviour, attitudes, and crimes. Israel – like the US – must be brought in-line with International Law. Despite having endless and unjust (illegal) sanctions imposed upon it – the Iranian people have managed to construct a well-thought-out defensive plan – and successfully apply it against the unjust might of the US and the Zionists! Meanwhile, as the racist regime of Israel does not care about the welfare of non-White (non-Jewish) people – it has today murdered 57 Iranian schoolgirls (with many more wounded) – using Western supplied missiles. This is the sheer evil of it all in microcosm.

Omani Wisdom "Trumps" US (Zionist) War-Monger & Ignorance!

Oman: The Wisdom that Donald Trump Does Not Possess! (28.2.2026)

When you reach my age – the (destructive) repetitive patterns that define the greed and hatred of the capitalist system become clearly apparent. Young people are caught unaware because they lack the appropriate experience to “see” what is actually going on – rather than what the system wants you to think is going on. The most damage is done to the minds and bodies of the young. Older liars, such as Donald Trump, well, they are gate-keepers for the profiteers and warmongers. In Nazi Germany – Trump would be in the SS – in modern America – he belongs in the corporate boardroom (that almighty and god-like entity the Americans are taught to worship from birth). In the USSR, if there was any justice in the world, Trump would be in a gulag – and I say that as someone who knows the USSR was a just place. As I write, thousands of Iranians are being killed and wounded by the US and Zionist Israel – today’s greatest examples of totalitarian capitalism. It turned-out that it was not the USSR that was the greatest threat to world peace – but the US and Zionists themselves.

US: Trump’s “God-Complex” & “Anti-Intellectualism” on Full Display! (28.2.2026)

At one point, Trump called on audience members to stand if they believed the U.S. government’s primary duty is to protect American citizens, not illegal immigrants. Republicans rose to their feet and applauded for several minutes, while Democrats remained seated. Trump rebuked that they should be ashamed.

Democrats did not remain silent throughout. When Trump criticized a U.S. Supreme Court ruling overturning his tariff policy, Democrats responded with applause in support of the court’s decision, in sharp contrast to their earlier silence.

Meanwhile, hundreds of protesters gathered on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., holding signs reading “No funding for ICE” and “Healthcare, not war.” Some carried large posters displaying photos of individuals who died during operations by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

My Revolutionary Clobber!

Cuba: My Study of Che Guevara’s Work! (27.2.2026)

Oddly, Audible, despite hosting some fairly right-wing and far-right tomes – to its credit – it also hosts Marx, Engels, Lenin, Mao Zedong, Ho Chi Minh, and Che Guevara (amongst others). Yes – some are bourgeois aberrations – but others are straight from the original ideological source material and convey clear Socialist and Communist thinking. So far – so good. Recently, whilst carrying-out my academic work of translating ancient Chinese texts into English – I play audio-books in the background – so I can continue to “learn” whilst working. This is how, over the last three-months, I made an effort to study the Cuban Revolutionary experience. This came about after I had a conversation (a few years ago) with a Spanish man now living in Sutton – who surprised me when he said he had no interest in China or the USSR – but rather the Central and South American experience. This got me thinking – as I used to generally integrate all these movements – assuming they were different aspects of the 1917 Russian Revolution (which of course they are). The point is that different ethno-centric experiences abound – even if we are political allies all heading in the same ideological direction.
