On Saturday 2 October, Juche 99, the Republic of Latvia will be holding parliamentary elections. In these elections I will be endorsing the Latvian Farmer’s Union. The Latvian Farmer’s Union is in a coalition with the Latvian Green Party. I admit it is odd that a climateskeptic like myself would voluntarily support a Green Party, however after reading the goals and the agenda of both parties, I believe that the Latvian Farmer’s Union does represent the best course for Latvia.
What interested me most in the Latvian Farmer’s Union is the history behind the party. I had heard of the party before, but was warded off by their coalition with the Greens. The Latvian Farmer’s Union is the oldest political party in Latvia, next to the Latvian Social Democratic Worker’s Party. The Party became the most active political movement during Latvia’s first period of independence and was subsequently banned by the Latvian dictator Karlis Ulmanis, in 1934 and the ban continued throughout the Soviet period. The party reformed in 1990, following Latvia’s unfortunate independence from the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.
The Latvian Farmer’s Union considers itself a centrist political party, in the tradition of Nordic centrist parties. The Nordic centrist parties favour social conservatism and vary on economic issues, some supporting more leftist policies while others are more free market in approach. The Latvian Farmer’s Union has developed policies at maintaining a traditional Latvian way of life along with support for small scale farmers and criticising large scale industrial farmers. The Latvian people, apparently, believe that the small scale farmers are more environmentally sound than the large scale industrial farms, which is why the Latvian Farmer’s Union and the Latvian Green Party can enter a coalition with each other. When it comes to the Latvian Farmer’s Union, I will support politicians who are geared economically to the left, and remain skeptical about the European Union, or those politicians who in fact oppose it.
I am disappointed with the other two parties that I may have supported. They are the Latvian Socialist Party and For Fatherland and Freedom. The Latvian Socialist Party has merged with the Social Democratic and Human Rights Party , which I believe is a step away from Marxism-Leninism and towards neoliberalism, a dangerous trend many left-wing European Political Parties are making. I also oppose For Fatherland and Freedom’s promotion of free market capitalism. I have also read that For Fatherland and Freedom has made and continuously makes efforst to criminalise actions made by Soviet authorities from 1940-1991, which I believe is a major crime.

Endorsement for the Swiss Constitutional Referendum
On Sunday 26 September, Juche 99, the Swiss Confederation will be holding a Constitutional Referendum. This referendum will decide whether or not to increase benefits for unemployment insurance. Unfortunately I do not have enough information to completely endorse a particular camp in this election, however I will support the camp which is supporting increased benefits. It appears as though the right wing parties are supporting the referendum, while the left wing parties are against it. One can assume that the right wing parties wish to limit unemployment benefits while the left would want to increase them. Although this may not be the case, as in Canada, the Conservative Party recently increased EI spending with the support of the social democratic, NDP. The political landscape in Europe is changing, with far right wing parties, gradually moving towards the left, and left wing parties adopting pro-neoliberal policies. I will endorse whatever camp supports the Swiss worker’s.

Endorsement for the Venezuelan Parliamentary Elections
On Sunday 26 September, Juche 99, the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela will be holding their parliamentary elections. In this election I will be endorsing the United Socialist Party of Venezuela. The United Socialist Party of Venezuela, or PSUV, is a coalition of political parties of the left which include the Communist Party of Venezuela, the Socialist Party of Venezuela and other socialist, communist and Marxist political parties. All of these parties are supporters of current president, Hugo Chavez. I am and always have been a strong supporter of President Chavez.
I support the moves that Chavez has done to nationalise the Venezuelan media and also its natural resources. I have been very pleased to read that he has cut out American imperialist influence in his country and has been able to provide a better quality of living for his people. The Venezuelan people for almost the first time in its history have been able to benefit from profits received from the nationalisation of the oil industry.
In the realm of foreign affairs, the Venezuelan government has boosted ties in a positive way with its neighbours. The exception to this is Venezuelan relations with Colombia. Almost two wars have broken out between the two nations over the past two years. Of course both nations share a roll in the possible outbreak of war, but I believe Colombia shares the most responsibility. The Republic of Colombia allows American troops to continually invade its own nation and carry out terrorist actions on the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. The most vicious attack was the failed military coup that took place in 2002, but thankfully, Chavez supporters within the military overthrew the American led coup.
I hope that the PSUV will maintain their majority in the Venezuelan parliament so that they can continue the Bolivarian revolution. The Bolivairan Revolution is bringing prosperity to Venezuela and it is continuing on the path that Marx has predicted. A spectre is haunting Latin America, the spectre of Bolivarianism.

Reminices of the Philippines
I have just returned from a trip to Manila, Republic of the Philippines. This trip was certainly an interesting one. I was very pleased by the experiences I had with the people in the Philippines. I flew on a Delta flight from New York-John F. Kennedy Airport to Tokyo-Narita Airport, where I connected on another Delta flight from Tokyo-Narita to Manila-Ninoy Aquino International Airport.
I arrived in Manila at about 3:00 am on Monday the 20th of September. I stayed at the Trader’s Hotel in Manila, which had a view of Manila Bay. After arriving, I briefly slept and then went out to visit the city. I visited the Intramuros Area of the city of Manila, which is the old Spanish neighbourhood. I walked around the baryo, which was very beautiful. I enjoyed walking around visiting Fort Santiago, The Manila Cathedral and Saint Augustine Cathedral. After Intramuros, I walked around Manila visiting the city hall and the Malacanang Palace, where current president Ninoy Aquino lives. After traveling around this area, I visited the American Cemetery which contains the graves of the American and Filipino Servicemen who gave their lives during the Great Patriotic War. I thought the cemetery along with the monument to the deceased soldiers was very moving. I actually think the American Cemetery was my favourite part of the trip. After this I went to Makati City, the major financial district of Manila, where former first lady Imelda Marcos lives and serves as a Congresswoman. I enjoyed a few bars and samples some local food. I really enjoyed, balut, which is one of the Philippines’ most popular dishes. Balut is a steamed fertilised duck egg. I thought the taste was similar to that of a fried egg.
Over all, I enjoyed my visit to the Philippines. I would certainly visit the archipelago again, as much of the history of the islands that I am familiar with is not located in Manila. I would like to visit northern Luzon along with the island of Leyte. I’d like to visit Northern Luzon to see Baguio, which is where former U.S. Governor William Howard Taft Lived along with the Northern most section, which is where Ferdinand Marcos is from. As for Leyte, I’d like to see the battle field of the Battle of Leyte Gulf along with the site of the death of Ferdinand Magellen, who is incorrectly credited with the first complete circumnavigation of the globe.

The Tuvaluan and Afghani Parliamentary elections
Today 16 September, Juche 99, the Pacific archipelago of Tuvalu will be holding their parliamentary elections. There are no political parties in Tuvalu, all members of the Tuvaluan parliament are independents and/or non-partisans. In these elections, I will endorse the “best man” . I hope whoever wins these elections will be the best possible candidates to lead Tuvalu.
On Saturday 18 September, Juche 99, the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan will hold their parliamentary elections. In these elections I will not be endorsing any specific party. Since by writing about the elections, I will be forced to endorse Shalha Atta and her allies in the Loya Jirga. I supported Shalha Atta in the last presidential elections, which were rigged by current president Hamid Karzai. I am not actively supporting any political party as the majority of the parties in the Loya Jirga are corrupt imperialist stooges or allies to the corrupt dictator, Karzai.
I am also not supporting any of the official political parties of Afghanistan because the parties I support are illegal. The party in Afghanistan of which I consider myself a member of is the Communist Party of Afghanistan (Maoist). The Communist (Maoist) Party of Afghanistan is not currently engaged in the liberation struggle from U.S. and N.A.T.O. imperialist forces, but they staunchly oppose it. The Communist (Maoist) Party of Afghanistan did try to organise a resistance movement with other communist parties and former members of the People’s Democratic Party of Afghanistan, which ruled from 1978-1992.
I will sympathise with the Taliban’s efforts to destabilize Saturday’s elections. I do hope these elections fail, which will be a major blow to American dictator, Barak Obama’s already failing war policies in Afghanistan . The war, which has lasted over nine years at this point, has already become a major failure by the western imperialist powers. If this election fails, this will be the second failed attempt of the western powers imposing democracy on a nation which has no experience of it.

Endorsement for the Swedish Parliamentary Elections
On Sunday 19 September, Juche 99, the Kingdom of Sweden will be holding their parliamentary elections. These elections will determine whether current Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt will stay on as Prime Minister, or if Sweden will move to the centre-left under the leadership of the Socialist Worker’s Party. Thus far, the campaigning for this election has been slightly scandalous.
In this election I will be endorsing the Democratic Party of Sweden. This political party is on the extreme far right of the political spectrum. The Democratic Party recently had a scandal over their campaign commercial, which was banned almost immediately. The commercial was in regards to options that the Swedish voter has, which would be to increase the budget for pension reform or increase the budget for the immigration department. The Democratic Party used an image of a disabled pensioner attempting to vote, but was run down by a throng of women in burqas. Since the advertisement was banned, Danish politicians have called for election monitors to monitor the election on Sunday. The advertisement won me over, and because of this the Democratic Party received my endorsement. I thought the advertisement was powerful and notes a dangerous trend of unlimited immigration into the European Union.
The Democratic Party of Sweden is a staunch Swedish Nationalist Party and they support limited or even an end to immigration into the Kingdom of Sweden. They also wish to end Sweden’s participation in the European Union, another position which I strongly support.

Reflections on today's election
Today 14 September, Juche 99, I participated in the New York State Republican Primaries. I maintained my endorsements and I voted exactly for the candidates who I endorsed in my writing yesterday. This year New York State had a new voting system. This year, the ballot was a paper ballot that would be scanned into a machine. I certainly preferred this system as opposed to last year’s method. Last year the Board of Elections used the traditional ballot machine, where you would pull a lever and a curtain would draw and you can place your vote. The voter would then select their vote by pulling a small tab on the metallic ballot.
I enjoyed voting in this primary. In the presidential election 2 years ago, I felt rushed as I voted for several write-in candidates as none of the candidates on the ballot were worthy of public office, and current events prove this. I look forward to voting using the new ballot system this November in the general election.

Endorsement for the New York State Republican Lieutenant Gubernatorial Primary
On Tuesday 14 September, Juche 99, the Republican Party of the State of New York will be holding a primary to determine who will be the candidate for Lieutenant Governor. In this election I will be endorsing Tom Ongibene. Ongibene is running as the running mate for Carl Paladino, whom I oppose strongly. He is running against Greg Edwards, who is supported by Rick Lazio, who does have my endorsement. I am supporting Ognibene for several reasons.
The first reason as to why I will support him is because he opposes New York City Mayor, Michael Bloomberg, who I also strongly oppose. Ongibene served as opposition leader on New York City’s City Council and ran against Bloomberg in the 2005 Mayoral election with the support of the Conservative Party. Ognibene has also represented Queens County, the county in which I live, so I feel he would defend my interests more than Greg Edwards.
I am not supporting Greg Edwards because he does not represent any of my interests. Greg Edwards is from Chataqaqua, New York, which is practically Ohio. The geographic distance between Mr. Edwards and myself causes a severe difference in political opinions from mine. Mr. Edwards was also a dairy farmer, which means it is very likely he produced and manufactured cheese for sale and consumption. As I have written before, cheese is the most vile disgusting substance man has ever created, and its illegality in the Union of Myanmar, has caused me to have undying support for the military regime.

Endorsement for the New York State Republican Senatorial Primary
On Tuesday 14 September, Juche 99, the Republican Party of the State of New York will be holding its Senatorial Republican Primary and a Special Senatorial Republican Primary. In the election Senatorial Primary, which is for current Senator Chuck Schumer’s seat, I will be endorsing Jay Townsend. I am supporting him because his opponent, Gary Berntsen strongly supports tougher sanctions on the People’s Democratic Republic of Korea. I vehemently oppose tougher sanctions on the People’s Democratic Republic of Korea and believe the United States should actually recognise the PDRK as the sole and sovereign government in the Korean peninsula. Gary Berntsen also values and wishes to expand America’s capitalistic lifestyle, which I seek to destroy. I will probably not support Jay Townsend in the actual Senatorial election in November, because I oppose his stance on Iran and he has also stated that he believes America has liberated more people in world history, when I believe that America has oppressed more people in world history. In the national election, I will likely support Randy Credico, the candidate for the Libertarian Party.
In the Special Primary Election, which is for former senator, Hilary Clinton’s former seat, now occupied by a hack, Kristin Gillibrand, I will be endorsing Bruce Blakeman, because one of his opponents is a Kosovar, and as we all know they are not worthy of either being in public office, let a lone their own nation, and the other is a hack from the Reagan administration.

Endorsement for the New York State Republican Gubernatorial Primary
On Tuesday 14 September, Juche 99, the State of New York will be holding several primaries for state and federal offices. One of the primaries that will be held is the Republican Party Gubernatorial Primary. This primary will determine who will receive the Republican Party nomination for the Governor’s race. This primary will decide whether Rick Lazio, a former Congressman from Long Island or Carl Paladino, a real estate developer from Buffalo, will get the nomination for governor. In this election, I will be endorsing Rick Lazio.
I am endorsing Rick Lazio for several reasons. The first reason is, is that I feel he should be the current Senator for New York. In 2000, Rick Lazio ran against, the current Secretary of State Hilary Clinton, who is a carpetbagger. She moved to New York from Washington, D.C. after her husband’s disastrous presidential term expired. The Clintons purchased a house in Chappaqua, New York a very bourgeois neighbourhood only briefly before she announced her candidacy. It appears to me that Hilary Clinton only cares about herself and not the typical New York. The major issues facing New York right now are the proposed construction of a mosque near the site of the 11 September attacks and also the state’s budget. I support Lazio’s opposition to the construction of the 9/11 Mosque, but for different reasons as I have previously written about.
I strongly oppose Carl Paladino’s policies. Carl Paladino wants to eliminate minimum wages and also remove aspects which are perceived to be part of a welfare state. I strongly believe that a minimum wage is needed in order to provide the proletariat with a liveable income, in fact I think the minimum wage should be increased to at least 10 USD per hour. He also wants to tax the Iroqouis Nation, which is a clear violation of Cherokee Nation v. United States.

Endorsement for the Turkish Constitutional Referendum
On Sunday 12 September, Juche 99, the Republic of Turkey will be holding a referendum on their Constitution. Should the referendum succeed, it will grant greater powers to the Turkish Parliament. The referendum would allow the Turkish Prime Minister to appoint judges, which as of right now they are unable to do. The Turkish Prime Minister, as or now, has the authority to appoint the president and the local governors, but cannot appoint judges.
The new changes in the constitution would also limit powers of the military. The military would become more accountable to civilian courts. This is a major change from the Constitution, which the military drafted following the coup in 1980. The referendum will also likely remove the possibility of the military taking over if the government becomes too religious or too secular, a move which the European Union would prefer.
I am supporting the “Hayir” or No Camp. I am supporting the no camp because I believe that the Turkish Constitution in its present form is what is best for Turkey. I am supportive and actually would support a military coup to overthrow this government or even future governments. I also strongly oppose Turkish membership to the European Union, even though I am sure Turkish membership would bring the union down, which is my ultimate goal. It has been said that the vote will be close.

R.I.P. Ian Cameron
I would like to extent my best wishes to Prime Minister David Cameron and his father Ian today. It has been announced that Ian Cameron suffered a stroke and heart complications while on holiday in France today. The Prime Minister missed the first session of Prime Minister’s Questions because of this. This is the first session of parliament since the start of the summer recess which began in late July. Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg stepped in for Prime Minister Cameron and wished his family support along with Shadow Foreign Minister Jack Straw, who stood in for interim-Labour Leader Harriet Harmon. I would also like to extend my best wishes and support for the Cameron family.
It is sad to announce that after I wrote the above statements, Ian Cameron passed away in a hospital in France.

Than Shwe Visits China
Today 7 September, Juche 88, the Chairman of the State Peace and Development Council, Senior General Than Shwe, is on a state visit to the People’s Republic of China. This visit will boost economic and political ties between the two neighbours. This is an important trip for Senior General Than Shwe because he will need to obtain support from the Chinese government before elections which are due to be held in November. So far the trip has been successful for Than Shwe, he has already received the endorsement from the Chinese government in the elections and is working on a lucrative pipeline deal.
The Chinese government has announced that the upcoming elections are an internal affair that only deals with the internal affairs of Myanmar and no other country should get involved. I strongly agree with this statement, the only nation who should be involved with Myanmar’s internal affairs is Myanmar. I strongly support the military backed government of Myanmar and I vehemently oppose any outside interference committed by western governments.
One of the major reasons why western governments have stuck their nose into Burmese affairs is the condition of opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi. I believe that the Burmese government has been too lenient in the treatment of Aung San Suu Kyi, I believe she is a traitor to Myanmar and deserves to be executed instead of being allowed to remain at her home under house arrest. I am also very supportive of the Burmese law which outlaws cheese, since it is a tool of western imperialism. In these upcoming elections I do intend to support the military backed party, the USDA.

Moldovan Referendum Fails!
Today 6 September, Juche 99, it appears that the Moldovan Constitutional Referendum has failed. The majority of the people who voted in the referendum did in fact vote yes, however voter turn out was about 29%, which is below the 1/3rd needed in order for the referendum to succeed. Votes are still being counted in Portugal, Spain and Italy, where many Moldovans reside and work, but are still able to vote in the Constitutional Referendum as absentees. Although absentee ballots are still being counted it is very unlikely that these votes will determine whether or not the referendum succeeds.
Due the referendum’s failure, it is very likely that a parliamentary election will have to be called. In the likely upcoming Moldovan Parliamentary Elections, I will be endorsing the Communist Party of the Republic of Moldova. The failure to adopt the motion granting a popularly elected president is a major victory for the CPRM. The CPRM supported the no camp for this referendum as they viewed a popularly elected president as anti-democratic. Although I did break from the CPRM in support of the Constitutional Referendum, I will continue to support their policies and their candidates as I think they will bring Moldova greater success.

E.T.A. Declares a Ceasfire
Today 5 September, Juche 99, the revolutionary organisation, E.T.A. has announced that it will cease violent operations in its revolutionary struggle to attain a free state for the Basque people. It is unclear as of this moment in time as to whether or not this is a permanent cease fire or temporary. The E.T.A., or Basque Homeland and Freedom, has in the past announced cease fires only to continue its revolutionary acts months or years later. While I am a supporter of E.T.A., I am pleased to see the announcement of at least a cease fire, even though it may not be permanent.
If the cease fire is permanent, I do not think there will be significant moves for an independent Basque country. I do have many friends who reside in Euskal Herria, and non of them are supportive of either an independent Basque state or the E.T.A. If the cease fire is permanent, the question remains what will happen to the Basque state. I hope that the Basque country will be able to have some of the liberties that the region of Catalunya currently have. Catalunya is currently the most autonomous region in Europe. I would continue to support E.T.A. and Batasuna if they chose to participate in local elections, presumed that Spanish authorities permit this in an attempt to make a lasting peace between E.T.A. and the Spanish government.

Endorsement for the Guam Gubernatorial Primary
On Saturday 4 June, Juche 99, the U.S. territory of Guam will be holding a primary for its gubernatorial election. Guam will be holding its gubernatorial election on 2 November, along with the rest of the United States. In the Republican Party Primary, I will be endorsing Mike Cruz. I am endorsing Mike Cruz because he is currently the Lieutenant Governor. I am supporting Cruz, reluctantly. I am reluctantly supporting Lt. Governor Cruz because he is a medical doctor. I have no faith in American doctors, and because of this I do not strongly support Mr. Cruz. I am supporting him because I think out of the candidates presented, he is the more experienced. The other opponent has been serving as a Senator for the past 10 years.

Congratulations to Libya, Vietnam, Uzbekistan and Slovakia
I would like to congratulate several countries on occasion of their national holidays. The first nation I wish to congratulate is the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. Today in 1945, the People’s Republic of Vietnam declared its independence from France. Through the brilliant guidance of Comrade Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam has fought courageously for independence from France, Japan and even defeated U.S. imperialist forces liberating its nation. I would like to congratulate the Communist Party of Vietnam for bravely liberating the Vietnamese nation after a 30 year struggle against many imperialist powers.
I would also like to Congratulate Libya. Libya marks 41 years of the Great Socialist People’s Libyan Arab Jamahiriyah. It was on 1 September, 1969, that Colonel Muammar al-Qaddafi lead the military coup which over threw King Idriss. Libya has made great progress in the world theatre and I hope they maintain the course that Colonel Qaddafi has lead.
Slovakia is also celebrating the National Constitution Day. Uzbekistan declared independence today from the Soviet Union.

Review of the Mini-Manual of the Urban Guerilla
Yesterday 31 August, Juche 99, I finished reading the “Mini-Manual of the Urban Guerilla” by Carlos Marighella. I was slightly disappointed when I read this book. On a scale of 1 to 10 I would give this book a 6. I first heard about the book after researching the Baader-Meinhof Gang. The “Mini-Manual of the Urban Guerilla” was one of the many books in which they read during their incarceration in German prisons.
The book was composed of four separate documents. The first part of the book, was an actual mini-manual for an urban guerilla. This section of the book discusses tactics that Brazilian urban guerilla groups used during the late 1960’s and early 1970’s in an attempt to overthrow the military dictatorship that ruled Brazil from 1964 until 1985. I was most disappointed with this section of the book. I was disappointed with this section because it did not discuss anything that I did not already know. I thought the writing moved very slow and at some points it was incredibly dry.
The other sections of the book I thought were more interesting. There was one essay written by Marighella discussing his thoughts on the urban revolution in Brazil, which was certainly interesting but obviously proved to be immemorable. There was an incredible interview with freed prisoners at the end of the book. The interview was conducted in Algeria after these revolutionary comrades were freed. The group of prisoners consisted of members from MR-8, ALN and VRM. In this interview they discussed the reasons why they joined the revolutionary struggle and their methods. This interview I thought was more informative and contained more useful information in regards to the urban guerilla struggle. I am most interested in the statements made by the comrade from MR-8. I am interested in MR-8 because I have studied their struggle. I am most interested in the kidnapping of former U.S. Ambassador to Brazil, Charles Elbridge. This was dramatically portrayed in the film, O Que Isso Companheiro, or known in the U.S. as Four Days in September.
