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.

A Voyage to Arcturus

UK: In Praise of David Lindsay and his Book “A Voyage to Arcturus! (14.2.2026)

What was written on those 30 missing pages? No one knows because they remain missing. It is interesting to speculate as what is left reads like the music (and lyrics) from “Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band”. Considering how bizarre and sexually suggestive the remaining content is – one is left pondering as to the true scale of non-conformity. Anyway, a number of early SciFi writes used the agency of “sleep” as a means to travel long distances or indeed travel through time – I think this idea dates back to the French author “Louis-Sébastien Mercier” (1740-1814) and his 1771 masterpiece entitled “The Year 2440: A Dream If Ever There Was One” (L’An 2440, rêve s’il en fut jamais). I think HG Wells also borrowed this concept for his 1898 book entitled “When the Sleeper Wakes”. Lindsay, it must be said, did flesh it out somewhat by suggesting it was possible to “travel on light beams” in “torpedo-shaped metal space craft” (the essence of the modern “Alien” franchise?). Of course, it must be stressed that Arcturus was in fact the “sun” around which the planet Tormance orbited. The protagonists did not travel to the sun – but to the planet Tormance – which is an interesting and unexplained contradicting. Why not the title “A Voyage to Tormance” – as this planet seems far more warmer than earth (the main character Maskull required a blood transfusion just survive – provided wilfully by a Tormance women (an allusion to the power of menstruation – perhaps?)

“This is a worker’s rights crisis for the trans community,” a spokesperson for the Trans Solidarity Alliance said.

UK: Judges References “Two Unyeilding Ideologies” – in Latest “Trans Rights” Ruling! (14.2.2026)

Lastly, I would say that People with Disabilities have to use “asexual” toilets – with the idea that the ordinary “Male” and “Female” toilets should not be altered to accommodate disability (this is viewed as inconveniencing the non-disabled). The Disabled have no right to expect single-sex toilets – as such an adaptation would cost “too much”. However, and simultaneously, Women’s’ toilets are altered to accommodate pregnant women and women with babies – sometimes with an entirely separate and spacious area designed for breast-feeding and nappy-changing (in these separate spaces – both parents are allowed in together – or one or the other without comment – meaning men “share” women’s toileting areas). Quite often, the Disabled Toilets are co-opted by the able-bodied to act as spare toilets for themselves – or for mother and baby rooms – thus depriving the Disabled of the limited toilet-spaces the law has granted them after decades of campaigning for equal rights. The Disabled are continuously told it is unreasonable to expect better toileting conditions – or to keep the non-Disabled “out” of their areas. Of course, the Disabled are excluded from the “Trans” Vs “CIS” turf-war that is going on – but their plight does shed some light on this issue.

Trump Abolishes Pseudo-Eco-Fascism With Sweep of Pen!

US: Trump Abolishes “Fake” Obama-Era “Green Agenda”! (13.2.2026)

“There is no convincing evidence that human activity adds-to or subtracts-from the agency of “natural” Climate Change”. When all the evidence is corelated and processed, the percentage of “unnatural” Climate Change (occurring due to deliberate human activity) is 50-50. In other words, no better than “chance” – or from an academic perspective – “nothing is happening”. It is the considered view of the Russian Academy of Science that “unnatural” (human-induced) Climate Change is a bourgeois (racist) invention of the capitalist West, designed to prevent Second and Third World countries from undergoing the industrialisation process that has made First World countries the advanced entities they now are.”

The US Remains the Only Country to Use Nuclear Weapons!

China: US Allegations of Nuclear Explosive Tests – Rejected! (13.2.2026)

Lin stressed that the U.S. is the biggest source of disruption to the international nuclear order and global strategic stability. In the area of arms control, the U.S. simply let the New START treaty expire to the detriment of trust between major countries and global strategic stability. The U.S. clings to the policy of first use of nuclear weapons. The U.S. has spent trillions of dollars to upgrade its nuclear triad, and has been working to build a global anti-missile system and establish forward deployment of strategic assets. The U.S. applies double standards on nuclear non-proliferation. All of those seriously disrupt global strategic balance and stability and undermine international and regional peace and security.

Epstein's files reveal 'rotten culture' in U.S.

China: Jeffrey Epstein’s Personal Rise to Power – in a Nutshell! (13.2.2026)

At the end of January, more than six years after his death, the United States Department of Justice finally released more than three million pages of FBI investigation files into Epstein, plus 2,000 videos and 180,000 images. An additional three million pages are being withheld, the DOJ said, due to sensitive material, victims’ rights, and legal privilege.

The released files, though incomplete, revealed some of the architecture of Epstein’s illegal operation. It was more than a sex-trafficking ring to lure the rich and the powerful, analysts and experts said, it was a sophisticated system of social engineering designed to procure money and impunity through proximity to power.

Epstein was born into an ordinary Jewish family — his mother was a homemaker and his father worked as a landscaper for the City of New York. He was good at math and played piano well. Both talents helped him later charm people.

With adjustments in the study program, due to the effects in the sphere of speech, the young woman finished the twelfth grade!

Cuba: Yésika is a Daughter of this Hospital! (13.2.2026)

Someone once said that when you are born a nurse there is an incurable need to take care of others, this happens with Delenis González Paneca.

“From the first time I attended her, I had a special connection, she knows almost my entire life and I know hers. You just have to spend some time interpreting the language of her eyes, her moans, her facial expressions, and you understand her perfectly. She shows you that communication goes beyond words.”

Like other children and young people from Sancti Spiritus, Yésika Mora benefits from the Cuban hospital classroom programme, created to provide educational care to paediatric patients hospitalized in cancer hospitals, injured or with conditions that require prolonged hospitalization.

With adjustments in the study programme, due to the effects in the sphere of speech, the young woman finished the twelfth grade, and in the words of Osmedy Fumero Rodríguez, professor of Spanish and Literature, “she has had the privilege of bringing teachings and lessons to a sui generis, exclusive Yésika, who lives and loves with an incomparable dedication and who earns and will win the admiration of those who know her here and in all other areas”.
