Cuba: The Socialist Ambulance Service – The Sound of Life! (1.4.2026)

When you dial 104 on the phone, on the other end of the line not only operators answer. They answer stories. And, in Ciego de Ávila, these stories have not been written for more than a decade: that of a deceased on board an ambulance.

Reimundo Pineda Estrada, a graduate in Nursing – and in Economics – in charge of Human Resources at the Regional Ambulance Base of Ciego de Ávila, says it with the confidence of someone who knows every statistic, every route, every man and woman who makes up the Integrated Medical Emergency Service (SIUM) in the province, of which he is the founder.

“So far we have not had any loss of human life during the transfer to the healthcare centers,” he says. And the phrase, said like this, without fuss, weighs like an ingot. Because behind that statement there are ten years of statistics, two decades without a final sigh inside a mobile unit, with thousands of patients transferred within the province and outside it.

Ten years in more than 6,000 square kilometres of Ávila’s geography – and beyond the limits of the province – figures that no medical report can fully reflect.

Iran: How Mickey Mouse’s Ears Assist the the War on Zionism! (1.4.2026)

Meanwhile, the Collective West, that bastion of moral guidance, has ignored the illegal (terroristic) attack on Iran by the US and Israel – and instead has blamed Iran for ‘bringing the problem upon itself’ by a) existing and b) insisting upon exercising self-determination – thus compounding the situation. President Putin is fighting a war on two fronts. The first is against Neo-Nazi Ukraine – whilst the second is internally preventing Russia from sliding back into Soviet Socialism. North Korea is battling with the contradiction that its soldiers have died fighting for a capitalist Russia in Kursk (how does this fit in with Juche) – whilst the Communist Party of China is grappling with the paradox of how building capitalist market forces reconciles with constructing a new society premised upon the auspices of Scientific Socialism.

Iran: Chechen Military Units to Join Islamic Republic if Trump Invades! (31.3.2026)

If this is true – Press TV is not always accurate (like the BBC, CNN, or Sky, etc) – then this would bring Russia in direct conflict with the US. I am not sure it is true as I have read the leader of Chechnya has made anti-Iran statements – but some say that this is not true. Swings and roundabouts. What I do know is that in the first months of the Russian “liberation” of Donbass the Chechen soldiers led the way against the Western-backed Neo-Nazi forces of Ukraine. I watched hours of footage of Chechen soldiers fighting hand-to-hand with the AFU, the Hitlerite Azov and all the Westerners wearing AFU uniforms. The Chechens were very effective and brave fighters and I will never forget their collective contribution to the anti-fascist cause. The Soviet Red Army, of course, possessed Muslim regiments, as it did Buddhist regiments.

Young Doctors Oppose US Blockade!

Cuba: Young Doctors Denounce the Criminal Impact of the Blockade! (31.3.2026)

Since 1948, the UK initiated a Soviet-style healthcare system paid for by collective taxation – and delivered free at the point of use for all people. Since 1979, however, various governments – including Labour, have bent to US and EU pressure to get rid of the NHS and replace it with a US style system of insurance-based care dependent upon income and status (the rich receive better care than the poor). The NHS is slowly being dismantled and replaced with a deficient, ruthless, and uncaring healthcare system designed to bankrupt an individual over just one injury or illness that needs specialist treatment. As a consequence, young GPs today trained in the UK think that free healthcare is immoral and that it is both natural and right for people to pay extortionate amounts of money for medical treatment. Eyes, eyes, and teeth already have completely been privatised and the body is following along. People are suffering in the UK during this transition. Between 1991-2000 around 10 million Russian people died from medical neglect following the rapid and sudden withdrawal of free health in the former Soviet Union. A similar situation must have existed in the fourteen other countries that comprised the USSR. The West ignored this atrocity (seeing it as natural) – whilst capitalist (Trotskyite) Russians treated it with a sense of denial. The US is currently attempting to destroy Cuban Socialism – and I think they are very close to achieving this objective. The capitalist world does not care and will accept all kinds of War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity – just as long as any form of Socialism is destroyed.

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.

Email: Material [Military] Science & Religious Belief! (30.3.2026)

The Americans learned in the 1770s that there is a material reality to warfare and that this has nothing to do with religion. The Americans developed better cannons to kill as many English Red Coats “at a distance” – so that their inexperienced “volunteer” force could better handle these tough working-class Englishmen hand-to-hand. The evidence suggests that the brutal discipline practiced by the Red Coats still made this process very difficult and very different to the films. The Red Coats carried-on marching in formation despite significant losses – each soldier doggedly “locking forward” and never to the left and right (which often involved huge holes in the lines). Interestingly, both the Union and Confederacy sought to replicate these levels of bravery in their own respective armies – one of the reasons I find this era of history to be quite fascinating. What the Confederacy lacked in material support – it more than make-up for this deficiency in the personal bravery of its soldiers. Of course, soldiers can hold a religious view that assists them in bearing the hardships associated with war (the Imperial Japanese Forces of WWII is often cited as an example – the “Kamikaze” for instance) – but the Soviet Red Amy possessed NO official religion during WWII – and yet its soldiers prevailed over the ruthless material science fielded by Nazi Germany – and the religiosity of the Japanese. America can be defeated but this is usually on the political level – as resistance to war amongst the voters becomes greater than the will to pursue the war.
