Monument to Martyrs of Overseas Military Operations Draws Endless Stream of Visitors

DPRK: Young & Old Respectfully Visit Memorial Museum of Combat Feats of Overseas Military Operations! (6.5.2026)

The images of the dedicated soldiers so brave on the hard-fought battlefields silently dwelt in their individual photos on display but it seems that the cries they let out at their last moments throwing themselves into the enemy pillboxes and committing suicide with their last bullets and grenades still resound as an echo of eternal life, moving all the visitors, young or old, to tears.

The visitors feel great emotion surging inside them, seeing the undying pictures showing what the heroes wished and desired at their last moments and realizing how they laid down their lives to save their sacred honour as soldiers of the Korean People’s Army, turning their love for their beloved parents, wives and children into their hardened will to annihilate the enemy.

Going around the outdoor captured weaponry exhibition area, they recollect with great pride the feats of the warriors who demonstrated the ideological and spiritual superiority and invincible mettle of the Korean People’s Army by inflicting merciless death on the aggressors on alien battlefields by dint of Korean-style tactics.

China urges the U.S. to stop at once the blockade and sanctions as well as coercion and pressuring of any form against Cuba

China: US Urged to Stop Blockade & Sanctions Against Cuba! (6.5.2026)

The spokesperson made the remarks in response to the U.S. move to ramp up sanctions against Cuba. Cuba has said that the U.S.’s illegal and unilateral coercive measures are reprehensible and ridiculous.

The spokesperson said that the U.S. intensification of illicit and unilateral sanctions against Cuba gravely infringes on the Cuban people’s right to subsistence and development and violates the basic norms in international relations.

I First Logged-On the Internet in 2000!

UK: Ask Jeeves Was My First Search-Engine” (4.5.2026)

My mother – Diane Wyles – gave each of her children a “Web TV” to quickly get us all online. This was a small metal box that we connected to the TV which allowed the internet to appear on the screen. We then wrote messages and asked questions via a remote-controlled keypad. All this seemed very advanced at the time – even though the dial-up was analogue and only one person could be online at a time. This was before Google cornered the market and before the bourgeoisie had developed the technology for capitalism to colonise the net and the media to swamp it with false news and disinformation. In just 25-years we lost the freedom the net gave us to defy our own national governments. The status quo has now been re-affirmed and it is business as usual.

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.

China: It Takes Time to Repair the US Lies About Tibet! (3.5.2026)

Mind you, he once chaired a meeting a Ruskin House in Croydon asking the bizarre question as to whether the USSR was “right” to fight the Nazi Germans during WWII – with the Trotskyite bias that it was not! And on and on it goes. Of course, it is the young who are vulnerable to this type of dishonesty on the left – as it drives them to the right. Not only that, but the current left is riddled with White dominance and perpetuates just as much racism as the right – whilst denying it is doing so. The corrupt left likes to pretend that whilst the White middle-class dominate it – the racism it displays does not exist. All lies of the highest calibre. Again, if you read Marx, Engels, Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Ho, and Che, etc, none of this is new and we must all battle every generation to make genuine Marxist-Leninism available for each new generation. The Morning Star eulogises the mirky world of professional boxing when everyone knows it is a thoroughly exploitative vehicle for the rich to pay the poor to beat each other up for the entertainment of the latter. The CPB continuously demands that its members support the bourgeois Labour Party – which proscribed the Communist Party in 1921. Trotsky would not only turn in his grave – but build a three-storey extension to celebrate this ridiculous revisionnism!

Prussian Knot - Colonel Confederate Hate!

CSA: Gifted Cap & T-Shirt! (26.4.2026)

Yesterday, I received a replica “kapi” hat with the rank of “Colonel” signified by the gold braid and Prussian-knot. I do not understand these ranks but assume that it has something to do with the German participation in the American Civil War. On top of this I am wearing a grey T-Shirt that humorously records all the battles fought by General Robert E Lee as he guided the Army of Northern Virginia in and out of the Northern (Federal) States. It is a historically accurate list with one or two battles I have not heard of before. The Confederate States is a fascinating time in US history and much of it is obscured and/or misrepresented. British military historians tend to be more level-headed about the reality of the Confederate States and the reasons it fought against the North.
