The Sangha Kommune (僧伽公社) – A Place of Spiritual and Physical Growth! (Founded 16.2.2010)

The Chinese Buddhist monastic community is referred to as a ‘Sangha’ (Sanskrit for ‘spiritual community’), whereby men and women form a voluntary association premised upon following a strict set of rules known as the ‘Vinaya Discipline’. Within this community, there is ‘equality’ between all members, with the leaders being those who have followed these rules for the longest times. This is because such people are thought to have more experience at adhering to the Vinaya Discipline (which includes celibacy and vegetarianism), and are therefore able to effectively advise all others through the difficult times they my face in their practice. As those with little experience have less to share, they are not considered leaders whilst more experienced practitioners live in the vicinity.

South Korea: Chinese Embassy Refutes Claims Targeting Chinese Tourists as Casino Growth Engine! (5.8.2026)

Those who have nothing are encouraged to waste what little they have – so that “one” individual can be hideously enriched for no reason at all other than blind circumstance. The US, via its colonies of Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan, encourage capitalistic Chinese people online to encourage gambling and the selling of sex. Selling sex often involves naïve teenage girls exposing their bodies on US social media – receiving thousands of dollars donated by White US males. As the donated amounts increase – the antics of the girls increase – until full-blown pornographic acts are performed. This is all in the name of the capitalistic practice of encouraging hyper-individuality – the essence of capitalist selfishness. The US believes that this bourgeois decadence will eventually penetrate the hinterland of the PRC and cause the CPC to collapse from within – but as you can see – this behaviour is entirely “illegal” within Socialist China – which is collectivist and provides everything each citizen requires to positively live their lives.

UK: Joint Statement – Trans+ Solidarity Alliance, Scottish Trans, & TransActual – EHRC’s Code of Practice Comes into Effect! (5.8.2026)

However, we decided to just turn-up at the UNITE double-decker bus (I was a member of that union at the time) – and see if we could blag our way through – and blag we did. If we had not taken direct action – Gee is very gay-friendly and the crowd took to her – we would not have been able to attend. I think the fact we are mixed-race couple acted as camouflaged for our presence (everyone thought someone had okayed it previously). As a straight couple – we were not permitted on the bus by the lesbians who occupied and controlled it. At one point, I was kissed by a gay Asian man – which was not traumatising to me at all. He asked Gee’s permission first. Later, as a straight, mixed couple, with mixed kids, the gay and trans people that sat in and around London landmarks with us – looked at us with such love that I cannot deny the experience. I am not telling you how to think – indeed – I would advise thinking for yourself by reading all the evidence and weighing things-up. As workers living in a capitalist society – we are already oppressed. Granting (or withholding) access to toilets will not change that – even if it might be seen as “progressive” and a “movement in the right direction”. A genuine Red Army soldier fights to defeat capitalism and fascism for ALL people – not just those the bourgeoise establishment decide are acceptable or persona non grata.

Tourist Caught Breaking Car Side Mirror In Swieqi

Malta: High-Caste [Brahmin] Indian Tourist – Rohit Uniyal – Filmed Vandalising Vehicles! (5.8.2026)

Rohit Uniyal has been remanded in custody after being charged in connection with the vandalism of a parked vehicle in Swieqi.

I have always stood by the same principle: whoever is charged before the courts for wrongdoing should be named and shamed, regardless of their nationality, background or status.

I’ve been told by some that he is a different person when not under the influence of alcohol. Whether that is true or not, alcohol is never an excuse for damaging someone else’…

UN: War Crime Report – Zionists Deliberately “Targeting” Palestinian Children at School! (5.8.2026)

Although PA is said to support Socialism – it has lost ground amongst ordinary Palestinian people due to its perceived and actual cooperation with Israeli Forces. As it conforms to Israeli dominance – PA is seen as being privileged by the West. This has led to widespread campaigns of non-tax paying across Palestine – and other civil disobedience campaigns. The US and Israel simply diverts funds to PA to prevent it from collapsing. It is a shame as PA, instead of following a neutral position – has actually adopted an antagonistic stance toward Hamas – and to be quite frank – comes across as completely compromised at times. Historically, of course, Socialist movements have resorted to armed conflict – so the position of PA is peculiar to say the least. Even if PA disagrees with Islamic-inspired militancy – it does not have to disagree with armed self-defence in principle. As matters stand, the US-backed Israeli Forces routinely break International Law – committing war crimes and crimes against humanity. As the UN has ruled – Israel is committing “genocide” in Gaza and it is doing this in-part by deliberately targeting Palestinian school-children.

UK: Parents & Pupils Took on “Cruel” & “Authoritarian” Devon & Cornwall “Athena Academy Schools” – & Won! (4.8.2026)

And Zara says her autistic daughter Hannah, who has hearing difficulties and attends Ilfracombe Academy, was repeatedly removed from class because her needs were not recognised.

“Behaviour is just put down to persistent defiance and bad behaviour, and they’re punished for it,” she says. “It’s never recognised as being linked to their disabilities.”

Athena told us that children with special educational needs are “not routinely sanctioned for behaviours associated with their needs”.

A lot of the anger we heard in Devon and Cornwall is, we were told, down to the lack of accountability.

Academy trusts do not have any supervision from local councils, meaning only central government can intervene.

One of the biggest weaknesses of the trust system is that it complicates the complaints process, says education journalist Laura McInerney, who co-founded Teacher Tapp, an app designed to track educators’ wellbeing, classroom practices, and opinions on education policy.

If parents are not satisfied with a specific school’s response, she says, they have to contact the trust, which could be miles way, and which “you may or may not hear from in anything other than a letter”.

The government says parents can take complaints about academy trusts to the Department for Education.

Across England, there is growing concern about punitive disciplinary practices in schools.

US: 25 States “Sue” Trump Administration Over Section 301 Tariffs! (4.8.2026)

The coalition is asking the court to block the tariffs, declare them unlawful, and order refunds for the duties already paid.

The legal challenge centres on the administration’s effort to preserve Trump’s broad tariff regime after federal courts rejected two earlier versions imposed under different statutory frameworks. The states argue that federal officials seized upon Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 and forced-labour concerns merely as a pretext to rapidly recreate nearly identical global duties that the Supreme Court previously struck down in February.

“President Trump’s illegal tariffs are nothing more than a tax on hardworking families, driving up the cost of groceries, household essentials, building materials, and countless everyday goods that New Yorkers rely on,” said New York Governor Kathy Hochul in a statement.
