CSA: Piles of Thread-Bare Confederates at Antietam [Sharpsburg] – Notes on Their Sacrifice! (31.1.2025)

The Union Army paid the farmer $1 per dead Confederate body and the farmer made $60 out of the deal. He dug a new well in a different place for the cost of $2 – making a wartime profit of $58. No one knows the names of these Confederate soldiers – and if it was not for a report being made by the Union soldiers concerned – no one would know about these men today. Of course, there was great bravery on both sides – but the spin placed on the war by the winners has skewed how the Confederacy is viewed today. These Confederate men (and boys) advanced into the Union fire with the utmost discipline and determination. They believed 100% in their cause – which was for the freedom of their individual countries (termed “States”). At the time, this war was not only about slavery – but has been made ONLY about slavery since 1865. Many believed the federalisation of the United States was a betrayal of the 1776 War of Independence – and nothing short of a great evil!

UK: From Workers’ Rights – All Other Rights Flow! (1.2.2025)

01/02/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

The problem is so bad that even gay groups side with the opinions of bourgeois reaction and attack the progressive record of the USSR. This is why I do not support “bourgeois” gay rights groups per se (although I do support gay people in general). This is because bourgeois gay people are class enemies who support predatory capitalism. On the other hand, I do support Revolutionary workers who might choose to identify as Socialists or Communists first and foremost – and who are also distinctive in their other self-perceptions (a small number of the original Bolsheviks are said to have been gay – with this being known to Lenin). The point is that fighting for bourgeois acceptance is not good enough – as it leaves all the injustices of capitalism in place. It is through the overthrow of capitalism that all other Revolutionary change will come. Just being bourgeois and gay is not good enough!

Russia: Defeating Neo-Nazi Ukraine & Rejecting US Hegemonic Use of NATO! (30.1.2025)

I applaud the work of our law enforcement bodies. Now I would like to mention punishment for the Kiev regime’s crimes. Russian courts continue to convict Ukrainian neo-Nazis and mercenaries of war crimes.

An American citizen, Patrick Thomas Creed, was sentenced in absentia to 13 years’ imprisonment for participating in hostilities on the side of Ukraine. This soldier of fortune is a retired US Army Ranger, who also served in US National Guard, infantry and airborne troops, and was repeatedly dispatched to Central America and the Middle East.

Latvian mercenaries Uldis Volmars and Juris Alberts Ulmanis were sentenced to 14 years in absentia. All these foreigners are on the international wanted list.

Ukrainian combatants A.Voloshin, V.Arshulik, S.Karayev, A.Doychuk, Z.Sigerich, A.Kulbaba, and O.Vovk have been sentenced to 15 to 16 years in prison for committing acts of terror against Russian servicemen and civilians in the Kursk Region.

BMA-UK: Solidarity with Migrants – Explained! (23.1.2025)

When they arrived, nobody wanted to help. They had to walk the streets for two-days in the Oxford area until a Police Constable directed them to a local school. Here, they were given food and a bed on the floor of a school hall. Eventually, a local family let them live in a small cottage – where they slowly developed a new life. My grandfather joined the Royal Navy Patrol Service (RNPS) and fought in the North Atlantic fighting in-part alongside the USSR. My grand-uncle joined the Coldstream Guards and guard Buckingham Palace for a time. At the beginning, local Oxford people did not like the Cockney accents of my family – but they soon got use to it. My family eventually got jobs in the local area, joined Unions, and integrated into the local community. This is why I was born in Oxford. I am the product of displacement due to war – albeit within my own country. Today, the bourgeoisie loves to make international “war” as a business option that generates billions of dollars each year.

UK Charity Regulator – “Unlawful” for British Charities – to Fund-Raise for Israeli Soldiers! (10.1.2025)

10/01/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

On Thursday, the Charity Commission issued a warning against Chabad Lubavitch Centres North East London and Essex Limited after the charity received 180 complaints for raising money for a soldier fighting for the Israeli army in northern Israel.

In October 2023, Chabad Lubavitch Centres North East London and Essex Limited set up a fundraising page for a soldier stationed in northern Israel.

The page, which was eventually removed in January 2024, raised approximately £2.280. From that amount, Chabad sent £937 to an individual soldier.

The trustees were unable to account for how those funds were spent. But the charity told the Charity Commission that the remaining funds were spent on non-lethal military equipment purchased by the trustees and sent to the same soldier in Israel.

UN: Human Rights Chief Calls for Investigation into Israeli Attacks on Gaza Hospitals! (1.1.2025)

01/01/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

In most cases, Israel claimed Palestinian armed groups misused hospitals for military purposes. However, the report described these allegations as “vague and broad,” with insufficient evidence provided. In some cases, the accusations appeared “contradicted by publicly available information.”

“The protection of hospitals during warfare is paramount and must be respected by all sides, at all times,” said Turk.
