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.

When the UK was Truly Great!

Gaza: Israel Initiates Desperate Measures Against UK “Economic Sanctions” – Targeting Zionist Colonies! (12.9.2026)

The UK Establishment is running scared of its own working-class population – which looks to be on the brink of voting-in a right-wing government. This is due, in-part, to decades of UK support for Israel and its ongoing genocidal policy – whilst the British masses feels this is wrong. The right-wing is not the answer – but this is where we are. The bourgeoisie will not listen. It has generated this political situation by manipulating the press and the masses in voting to keep far-left parties out of power. Right-wing New Labour does not want to put any sanctions on its chum Israel – it has only done this – because it does not want to lose the next General Election (this will be historically embarrassing considering the majority it possesses). Meanwhile, “Palestinian Action” still remains proscribed and its leading lights rotting in prison. Do not be fooled. I believe this all political theatre. Nothing substantive will happen to the Zionist Project in Gaza. What will sink New Labour are the endless French boats landing on the east coast full of guests from other parts of the world. Even Local Councils are now refusing to land these boats – saying all the hotels are currently full! It is this anti–worker policy that will sink Burnham’s New Labour.

2,800-year-old agora uncovered at Türkiye's ancient city of Troy |

Turkey: 2,800-Yearr-Old Greek “Agora” Unearthed at Ancient Troy Site! (11.9.2026)

Speaking to reporters on Thursday, Reyhan Korpe, deputy head of the excavations, said the discovery proves Troy wasn’t permanently abandoned after the Bronze Age, solving a long-standing puzzle about how the legendary city became the later Greek city of Ilion.

Korpe said the discovery is part of a dedicated research initiative launched in 2014 to map the connection between Bronze Age Troy and the subsequent city of Ilion.

Archaeological findings show that after the civilization collapsed, the site was left empty for only 80-90 years before new settlers arrived. Rather than starting over, they built their homes atop the ancient stone walls and continued using the old public square as an agora.

Iran: IRGC Navy Captures US [Unmanned] “Saildrone Explorer” Submarine! (11.9.2026)

The US has become trapped in a game it cannot win without drastically changing the battlefield – which it seems unable to do. Iran has achieved this impasse through sound (material) thinking and planning. It is not because of any divine assistance or godly help. It is a further irony that many commentators in the Middle East believe that this meticulous planning and preparation on the material plane just manifested “out-of-nothing”. It “just appeared” – which of course it did not. It was exactly because of a sound material approach to reality that Iran has achieved (so far) what it has. Of course, as a person of mature years, I do not view a “flying drone” to be an “enemy aeroplane” – or a “submergible drone” to be a legitimate “submarine”. Genuine “Submarines” are what my (maternal) grandfather defended against during WWII (Nazi German U-Boats). I have found footage of this US Submarine apparently reported “captured” in the Western media. It is true, the Iranians have captured a submergible US drone termed a “submarine” – attempting to enter the Iranian controlled Straits of Hurmuz. This is yet another military and media humiliation for the US. This is a product of sound material analysis and planning.

The Israeli settlement of Maale Adumim in the occupied West Bank, this week

UK: Bishops Support Labour and it Sanctions on Israel for its Criminal Activity! (10.9.2026)

He announced in the House of Commons an import ban on goods from illegal settlements in the occupied territories; a sanctions regime against providing services such as construction or financing for Israeli settlements; a ban on the advertising in the UK of illegal settlement pro­­perties; personal sanctions against key individuals accused of pro­­moting settler violence; and a new ban for arms licences and other ex­­ports that “materially contribute to the occupation”.

The Israeli government responded angrily and imposed measures including the closure of the British consulate in Jerusalem and banning a group of Labour MPs from visiting Israel.

The Chief Rabbi, Sir Ephraim Mirvis, described the move as “truly a dark day for British Jews”. In response, Mr Miliband said in an in­­terview on Wednesday: “Well, I’m a proud British Jew, and I don’t agree with the Chief Rabbi.”

Buddha & St Benedict United!

UK: Buddha & St Benedict Entwined – a Retrospect! (10.9.2026)

Now, whilst in Hereford I befriended an Irishman (my family are part Irish) named “Brian Gray” – who was training to be a Catholic Priest. He was fascinated by Buddhism and liked to “spar” with me in gloved-boxing matches (I was a nasty bit of work in my late teens – as I discovered my natural physical strength). He introduced me to a “Father Thomas” the Abbot of the Catholic Hereford Cathedral. He wanted me to go to the Vatican to meet the Pope – and to join the Catholic faith – but of course, this was not my path. I am not attuned to entering these paths that discriminate against non-members for not being members. Also, at that point I was learning about how the Vatican supported fascism before, during, and after WWII. So you can see my predicament. Although I had friendly interactions on the personal level, there were certain political realities that had to be acknowledged and balanced. Anyway, the upshot of all this was that I was introduced to the study of the Rule of St Benedict followed by the monastics of the Catholic Church (and given the ring you can see here – although I am unaware of its significance).

US: Trump Conquers the World (in his Head)! (10.9.2026)

Even in the UK the Bank of England is subordinate to the US banking system (and cannot operate independent from it) – whilst US military bases strewn the land (there are parts of the UK where US military personnel walk around society in uniform). This de facto US influence is everywhere and it has been established and justified through the fear of a “false” enemy (such as the USSR, modern Russia, and various other States – such as Cuba and Iran). Europe, via its banking system and military, does whatever the US indicates, effectively following American foreign policy without question. Trump is giving an open expression to what is already happening regarding US reach and influence. The issue is that of progressing this “de facto” influence toward a “de jure” reality. Trump is expressing what the US is really doing and the hypocrisy of the bourgeois West is kicking-in. People like to “think” they are “free” from US influence onthe surface – whilst remaining completely subordinated to Washington behind-the-scenes. It seems to be bad form to point this out in the open.
