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.

UK Police Truncheons!

UK: What Does It Mean To Be “Arrested”? (8.6.2026)

A wrongful arrest and false imprisonment charge must be pursued through the courts (after the arrest has been duly processed without resisting) – that is how the law in a bourgeois society operates – and there is nothing you can do about it until society changes. Changing society cannot happen whilst you are being arrested – as it is not the time or the place. This requires a mature mentality and an educated perspective. Read, learn, contemplate, and discuss. Work-out how life operates and what are your best options within it. Do not allow yourself to be goaded by sexism, racism, or any comments uttered by arresting Officers. Ignore them all and behave yourself. Try not to hurt an Officer – even if they are hurting you. You may not like this – but you must learn to be indifferent to this type of abuse (learn to like it) – as the System will punish YOU and not the Officers concerned. The Police are usually workers who are privileged to support and defend their bourgeois employers – they will not jeopardise the perks they earn by betraying their own working-class. Again, such is life – deal with it. Some Police do good work, risk their lives, and protect the vulnerable – this is a fact and it would be wrong of me to deny this. The agency of the Police is non-democratic, and a top-down totalitarian system that reminds those living in a bourgeois society just how fragile their freedoms really are.

Cancer Medicine Defeats US Blockade!

Cuba: Anti-Cancer “Cytostatic Production” Reactivated in Defiance of US Blockade! (8.6.2026) 

For her part, Mayda Mauri Pérez underscored the current moment and highlighted the solid alliance between the biopharmaceutical and health sectors as an essential pillar to sustain the supply of cancer drugs to the Cuban population, despite the intensification of the economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed by the United States.

The visit was also attended by medical oncologists, who exchanged criteria with the managers on therapeutic priorities, thus ensuring that the production responds directly to the clinical needs of patients.

The reactivation of this plant is not an isolated event: it is an eloquent example of how the Cuban biotechnology industry and the Public Health System work in total alliance, under the same objective: to guarantee the coverage of essential medicines at the most pressing time. In a country that faces externally induced shortages, each drug produced in this plant represents sovereignty, hope and commitment to the right to health of all Cubans.

Prof. Chuck - Astrology!

UK: Charlie Chuck Does Horoscopes! (7.6.2026)

Wonderfully discontinuous! Professor Charles Chuck from up North! Today, the venerable Professor addresses the subject of ancient Celtic Horoscopes – and informs the audience of an interesting archaeological find in a cave somewhere in England. Although I am considered an expert in translating ancient Chinese text – I cannot translate what Prof. Chuck is saying (or the way he is saying it) for non-native Brits. Apologies for that – you are stuck with reality I’m afraid. Just allow the cadence to wash across you like a cool breeze and permit the jumbled metaphors to come and go as they please. This is from the James Whale Show of 1993. A masterpiece of a sketch. It may not mean a lot to you – but it meant even less to Prof. Chuck! I have had academic teachers who made about as much sense to me as Ptof. Chuck means to everyone else!

Illegal child labour persists in the U.S. as legal protections backslide

US: Illegal Child Labour Persists in the US as Legal Protections Backslide! (7.6.2026)

The report revealed that in the U.S., children as young as 11 to 13 years old were employed for long hours, sometimes operating dangerous equipment and working in prohibited occupations.

“On the kill floors of meat processing plants, children are using harsh chemicals to clean back saws, head splitters, brisket saws, jaw pullers, meat bandsaws, and neck clippers. In sawmills, children are operating chop saws, rip saws, and powered wood processing machines. Teens are hauling and stacking wood for processing by automated machinery. Children are operating power driven lifts to move pallets. In poultry processing plants, children are using sharp knives to debone chickens. In construction, minors are working on roofs and operating power-driven woodworking machines. Over the last two years, several children have been seriously injured, and some have been killed while at work,” the reported unveiled.

The U.S., which fancies itself a “human rights defender” and is quick to point fingers at other nations over human rights violations, is the only one among the 193 UN member states that has not ratified the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC).

The Descendants of Our Grandfathers!

UK: Remembering My Grandfathers & Relatives on D-Day! (6.6.2026)

Historical reactions are rarely the spontaneous affair the State claim they are. In reality, most of time we are “told” what to think and do – being directed to react in a certain manner. This is all sealed by the false idea that we are acting “freely”. The fear of Socialism is a fabrication inserted into the mentality of the working-class by the bourgeoisie. It is a false-construct that originates from “somewhere else”. The bourgeoisie fears losing the power itself assumed through illegal force. It causes continuous wars that uses-up the bodies of the working-class for profit – whilst brain-washing the remainder to think that Socialism is “wrong”. This is like grooming a sick (or ill) person that the medicine they need is “wrong”. The patient is then left to “die” through a natural process of self-imposed withering. Whilst WWI was a working-class holocaust – WWII was a People’s War against World Fascism. Believe it or not – both China and Russia were the allies of the UK during WWII.

Laos Special Forces in Russia!

Russia: Laos Special Forces Training in the Kommadam Military Academy! (6.6.2026)

Laos is a small country in South-East Asia that was one of the most bombed country in history as the the US believed that the North Vietnamese (and Vietcong) were receiving supplies via the Ho Chi Minh Trail – from China and the USSR. This satuation bombing was worse than any bombing experienced during WWII. The Laotian people are Buddhist and only became free (after a Socialist Revolution) in 1975 after the US Forces were defeated and withdrew from Vietnam (technically, the US left in 1973 – but the US-controlled puppet “Army of the Republic of Vietnam” (ARVN) – did not surrender until 1975). It is interesting that although modern Russia is capitalist, nationalist, and quite often racist in its rhetoric, the non-White Socialist countries are fully supportive. This just goes to show how complex the dialectical situation is in the world today. The rightwing bourgeoisie of the West is in conflict with the left-leaning bourgeoise in Russia (bizarrely, whilst generally denigrating the history of the USSR – many Russian intellectuals claim that there is “no bourgeosie” in Russia).
