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 Young John Lennon!

UK: Gimme Some Truth – an Interesting John Lennon Album, Documentary & Documents! (25.8.2026)

This is why I admire the genius-structure of “Taxman” – but thoroughly reject the underlying selfishness that informed its production. As for ideology – The Beatles were all over the place. I think “money” was their god – and the transcending freedom this gave them from the cycle manual labour, paying bills, and being in debt – enabled them to take drugs, reads books and explore different realities – realities not normally open to the British workers of the day. John Lennon was did flirt with Maoism (and had an affair with his “Chinese” Secretary) – and they all wore Lenin-type hats from time to time (I do not think Lennon knew anything about Maoism). But this does not amount to Revolutionary action. According to the US government – Lennon was a “Trotskyite” – but I doubt his ideological development had progressed to him taking sides in the unfolding of the Soviet Revolution. He once said the the Socialist had messed-up the world as much as the capitalists – and this was to a group of UK students! Perhaps we expect too much from our millionaires as the game they play is designed to enrich and then move privilege away from the path of Revolution (keeping them firmly ensconced within reaction).

Tyndale: The Man Who Gave God an English Voice

UK: My Review of David Teems’ Tyndale Book! (25.8.2026)

Writers are very good at being both “honest” and “dishonest” in equal measure. No genuine writer will disagree with me – but will instead knowingly puff on their pipe whilst inspecting a duck – or something similar (the mundane is lifted-up by a competent writer). Am I being too harsh on Mr Teems – of course. Yes – I am – and for good class-related reasons. The bourgeois already possess control over the means of production – what more do they want? We are left a) with our “words”, and b) the use of those “words”. My words must penetrate straight through the ideological heart of the matter and I feel that the author’s use of Soviet-era exiles is indicative of his world-view and political bias. And even if it is not – it might as well be.

Holland Withdraws from Bias "Eurovision"!

Netherlands Declare Eurovision “No Longer” Neutral – & Withdraws from 2027 Contest! (25.8.2026)

Eurovision is a joke. In fact, it has been viewed as a joke in the UK for decades and reached its peak of irony under the commentary of Terry Wogan. We watched it because it was bias, anti-British, and pro-war when the war suited the political purposes of the EU (such as Eurovision’s supporting of Neo-Nazi Ukraine and its opposing of Russia for confronting Ukraine’s Neo-Nazi). Then there’s the issue of various countries (such as Germany and Austria) voting along ethnic-lines and supporting other countries containing the same (apparent) race – regardless of merit or quality. Israel, which is essentially a terrorist State committing genocide in Gaza according to the UN, ICC, and ICJ, as well as a host of human rights organisations. Add to this the 1975 UN Resolution declaring Zionism to be a form of “White Supremacy” (formulated by White, middle-class Jews) in 1975 – and the crime-scene is set. Israel is NOT in Europe – but represents a White settler country in another (non-White) part of the world – it is only permitted into Eurovision (since the early 1970s) because most of its population is from Europe and its murderous policies are viewed as pushing the “White” agenda in the Middle-East. The secret formula (hidden in plane sight) always pushes the inverted agenda that “Israel is the victim”! Think for yourself.

China: Humanoid Robot Beats – Usain Bolt’s – 100-Metre World Record Time! (24.8.2026)

Let’s face, a “robot” is basically a car manifesting its fast manoeuvrability via “two-legs” – instead of wheels. A standard car, depending upon the skill of the driver, should be able to easily beat the fastest of humans. A human-body lacks the mechanical ability to accelerate from 0-60mph in five-seconds – on the grounds that it has not been an evolutionary necessity. The idea that an artificial machine, just because it has been given the moulded externality of a “human-shaped body” – does not mean it has any genuine relationship (or connection) to a “biologically-functioning” human-body. What is the difference between a “robot” and a “drone”? Answer – the ability to “flight”. And that’s about it. What’s next – parachuting? Rock-climbing? Diving? It is an interesting gimmick and I suspect the CPC might be using ths technology to intimidate the US by proxy – as these “funny little fellows” might be used as expendable infantry soldiers in a future war of self-defence against US aggression.

A Scholar Can Accurately "Copy" Just As They Accurately Think Their Own Thoughts!

UK: Email – Defining the Latin-Term “Amanuensis”! (24.8.2026)

Thank you for your very interesting email. Years ago, when I was involved with formal academia (frequenting colleges and universities) the function of “amanuensis” was fairly common. I am not sure if this is the case today – as I am engaged in a broad post-doctorate study that involves researching in (and from) various sources of data. Generally, this is termed “field work”, etc, and can involve much travelling – but with the advent of the internet means that “without going out of my room – I can know all things” – to quote the Book of Change. I often find that examining the Chinese-language equivalent of Western words can give an important insght into the historical meaning of these terms.
