We regret to inform our reading public that John Paul Cupp has suffered a serious and debilitating illness. While the worst seems to be over, his recovery is expected to be protracted. Physical strain from repeated lifting of very heavy objects at his job as a construction laborer is believed to have been a contributing factor to this illness, and this should remind us that we at NACAZAI are not struggling against mere abstractions but against a system of globalism and imperialism which has very real negative impacts on people's lives.

We commend Comrade Cupp for his past hard work and revolutionary zeal, but we must remind him that for the time being he needs complete rest, both physical and mental. We know Comrade Cupp's writings are very popular with our readers, but we ask your patience with their absence for a time. The rest of us will do our best to compensate for his temporary absence.
