Joseph Stalin 1935 Painting

USSR: 1953 Soviet Painting Commemorating a [1935] Speech by Joseph Stalin – Renovated After a 14-Year Effort in Russia! (6.8.2026)

I have translated this (2024) article as it is succinct and to the point. However, there are articles today (2026) discussing how this picture is now on display in Moscow again. This picture is huge and I have conveyed its size in the picture above. Joseph Stalin was perhaps the greatest working class leader whoever lived. He built the USSR – and protected it from Trotsky – after the 1924 death of Lenin. He initiated the 1936 Constitution of the USSR. He took on and beat Adolf Hitler – saving the world from fascism. He steered the USSR through the war years – and inspired the Soviet Space Effort. Following his 1953 death – he was betrayed by Khrushchev (and his followers) – who laid the foundations for Gorbachev and the 1991 collapse of the Soviet Union. Even today, there are brain-washed Russians who believe the lies of the US – and see Joseph Stalin as a “Tyrant” – despite the fact that he was continuously “elected” into office – with the people refusing to allow him to retire. He literally died in office because the Soviet people demanded it.

Battle of Newton Station

CSA: Battle at Newton Station – April 24th 1863! (1.7.2026)

Although I am no fan of the right-wing (racist) actor – John Wayne – the 1959 film entitled “The Horse Soldiers” covers the so-called “Battle at Newton Station” which unfolded on April 24th, 1863 – and took place in Mississippi. This involved the penetration of the South in the Western Theatre by Col. Benjamin Grierson (1826-1911) and his Union Cavalry Unit. The idea was to commit acts of terrorism and sabotage toward the CSA and its train network – so that it could not easily transport troops and supplies around the country. As Cavalry acted as a light and highly mobile infantry – these troops often turned-out to be highly effective in this role. The clip I have added above is from the film “The Horse Soldiers” and depicts Confederate troops arriving by train at the station and launching what they thought to be a surprise attack. From what records survive, it is said that the CSA lost around 25 men – but this number could have been higher. I am told that Confederate charges like this – from trains – did take place on more than one occasion.

Africa: AU & UN Leaders Denounce External Interferences in Africa’s Security Crisis! (15.5.2026)

Youssouf said the interferences are requiring the AU, UN and other partners to deploy more efforts to contain the crises. “The AU must lead any peace negotiations on the continent, based on the principle of African solutions to African conflicts.”

Guterres, for his part, said it is absolutely intolerable that countries that are external to Africa interfere in African conflicts, providing weapons and political support with the objective of serving their strategic or economic interests.

“We need naturally to go on developing our common diplomacy, to make sure that we create the conditions for this kind of interference to cease and for other actors to be able to come to political agreements, able to end these conflicts,” he said.

According to Guterres, the world is witnessing a new kind of war where the military does not fight each other but launches drones against civilians.

“We also raise our voices, denouncing those countries that are providing drones that are not manufactured in Africa, as they are causing terrible sacrifice for the African people,” he added.

Flag - Confederate Socialist States of America!

CSA: Confederate Socialist States of America! (7.1.2026)

There are a number of people around the world who believe the Confederate Uprising the the US (1861-1865) was actually am Uprising of Workers disguised by the North (the eventual winners) as nothing more than an inconvenient morality play of “good” Vs “Evil” – with the North representing the godly and the South the devil. A highly childish example of US anti-intellectualism. Of course, racists hijacking the Confederate cause in the 20th century has not helped matters – but facts on the ground suggest a very different story. In a sense, Black people have once again been brainwashed by the Whites to hate the South and pretend that every injustice they face does not originate in the very local neighbourhoods within which they live – primarily in the North. Teachings the Black population to love money seek-out only material enrichment is the ultimate method in alienating a population that needs Socialism the most – from actually creating the conditions for a Communist Revolution to occur.

CSA: How Jefferson Davis Offered “Freedom” to the Native Americans! (2.12.2025)

Indeed, the voluntary and determined presence of Indians in the Confederate Infantry defied all Northern attempts to paint the South as culturally backward. The North had never succeeded in convincing the Indians to be happy about their own genocide – but here was the Confederate South treating the Indians as fellow “human-beings” – and making way for their warriors to serve alongside White Men in the frontlines. On the official front, the Confederacy formed a specific Indian Regiment led by General Albert Pike. During the Civil War, he commanded the Confederacy’s Indian Territory, and raised troops in this area – and exercised Field Command in at least one battle (although Watson mentions his name – and Indian troops – a number of times). After the South lost the Civil War – the North simply carried-on its pre-war policy of genocide – depicting the Indians as “savages” and wiping their pro-Confederate struggle from the history books.

CSA: Book Review – “Confederate Infantryman [1861-1865]” By Ian Drury & Gerry Embleton! (16.11.2025)

Osprey Publishing is a British Publishing Company specializing in military history originally based in Oxford. Being English myself – and having been born in Oxford – I appreciate a clear-thinking and non-bias account of historical matters. The book above – Confederate Infantry [1861-1865] penned by the British experts Ian Drury & Gerry Embleton (1993) – is an extraordinary introduction to the subject of the Confederate Army in general – and the Confederate infantryman in-particular. An estimation of the Confederate causalities sustained during four-years of fighting (1861-1865) is as follows:

Confederate Casualties = 483,026

Killed in Action (KIA) = 94,000

Wounded in Action (WIA) = 194,026

Died of Diseases = 164,000

Died as Prisoners of War (POWs) = 31,000
