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: Edgware United Synagogue (London) Reported to Charity Commission – for Promoting Illegal Israeli Settlement Property! (17.6.2026)

The ICJP also sent photographs of brochures and leaflets advertising property in illegal settlements from Sunday’s event to London’s Metropolitan Police.

MEE has contacted the Charity Commission for comment.

The Metropolitan Police are not investigating the event, MEE understands.

The government said last week it would “explicitly advise businesses against economic and financial activity in illegal settlements”. 

MEE has attempted to reach the real estate event’s organisers for comment.

The Edgware United Synagogue has also been contacted for comment about the event but has not responded.

Organisers denied last week in comments to Jewish News that the event would feature land for sale in the occupied West Bank, saying: “All exhibitors, without exception, will provide information about properties and projects within the Green Line.

“We believe that these ridiculous allegations are motivated by anti-Israeli and terrorist supporters, seeking only excuses to attack Jews in general and the State of Israel in particular.”

Laos: Mexico “World Cup” Opening Ceremony! (17.6.2026)

The professional aspect in those days was really about learning to survive outside the UK in unfamiliar circumstances, and still manage to win games under very different local conditions. As this was a difficult task – the players received a small wage whilst their travel and board was paid (I think by the English Football Association). Obviously, within the UK a support network already existed with most players already holding-down full-time jobs in other industries (football would be played after work – in the evenings and at weekends). WWI and WWII destroyed endless generations of talented footballers in England so our standard has dropped to “average” at world level – and foreigners have been able to better us – whilst we still seek to recover our naturally dominant style as a country. Another issue has been the “capitalisation” of football so that everyone is encouraged to play for greed – and are rewarded for greed. This is what FIFA is all about. Although England won the 1966 World Cup – we need to routinely dominate it so that football can be shifted back to its intended art-form – and away from the cesspit of racism and greed it is today. The US should be facing War Crimes Trials – and not being rewaded by FIFA.

One of the US bases in Okinawa lies at the heart of Ginowan city

Okinawa: US Military Crimes Continue on Occupied Island! (16.6.2026)

US soldiers, regardless of skin-colour, are “racist” in that they are trained by the US education system to view Asians as being racially inferior. Furthermore, The Japanese, being equally “racist” – view Okinawans as second-class citizens as many of them are of ethnic Chinese origination (Okinawa used to be a tributary State of the Chinese empire) – and this is why the US is permitted to retain a military base on Okinawa. The Japanese do not care what happened to the Okinawans – and the US do not care what they do to the Okinawan people.

Israel: ‘We Were Ordered to Kill’: The 1967 Nakba That Israelis Don’t Know About! (16.6.2026)

The expulsion of the three Palestinian villages in the Latrun area – Imwas, Bayt Nuba, and Yalo – with their 8,000 residents, was one of the most prominent expulsions during the war. So too was the destruction of the villages immediately afterward and the establishment of Canada Park by the Jewish National Fund in 1971.

The villages were captured without resistance on the second day of the war, and hours later, residents were ordered to evacuate to Ramallah. Israel claimed that a significant portion of the structures in the villages were destroyed during the battles that took place there. This was a false claim.

Ze’ev Bloch, a Six-Day War veteran and a former member of Kibbutz Nahshon, located near the three expelled villages, told Akevot Institute researchers that “no one leaves their home willingly. There’s no debate about that. Certainly, certainly they were expelled. War. There are those who expel them, there are those who leave, there are those who survive, and there are those who die.”

China: Bravery of Soviet Red Army & People’s Army of Mongolia Remembered in Langwogou! (15.6.2026)

During WWII, the Japanese aggressors committed atrocious crimes across the Chabei region in northern China. They spent years constructing extensive military fortifications and blockade trenches, and seizing grain, livestock, and other vital resources on a massive scale while exploiting and enslaving the local population. Civilians were arbitrarily detained and killed, and those suspected of supporting resistance forces were subjected to brutal torture. Countless people were displaced and plunged into dire suffering. Even more heinous, the Japanese army conducted large-scale bacteriological warfare in Zhangbei County and across the Chabei region. They forcibly conscripted locals for live human experimentation and deliberately spread epidemics throughout pastoral areas, inflicting untold misery upon the local population.

In August 1945, the Soviet Union and Mongolia declared war on Japan. Mechanized units of the Soviet and Mongolian forces crossed the border and advanced into the Chabei region to fight the Japanese aggressors. Guerrilla units of the Chinese Eighth Route Army operating behind enemy lines provided support. As a result, the main forces advanced with unstoppable momentum, and liberated multiple counties in the Chabei region. On August 15, Japan announced its unconditional surrender, and Zhangbei County was subsequently liberated.

Shin Sang-ok Choi & Eun-hee - Defection or Kidnap?

DPRK: Assessing the Bizarre “Kidnap” Stories Aimed At Korea! (14.6.2026)

Whatever the case, and I definitely do not condone kidnapping of any kind, it is recorded that Interpol investigated these allegations and declared that there were no such undertakings – in other words – North Korea had not kidnapped anyone. Despite this finding, stories, films, documentaries, and journals not only repeat these stories – supposedly offering evidence – but also expand the operations of this tiny half-country to supposedly include kidnapping people from Romania (a Socialist country) and even Lebanon. I once saw a BBC documentary that filmed Japanese women in Korea being transported back to Japan – supposedly after kidnap. I later discovered this was nothing of the sort. These were descendants of Japanese invaders who were looked after by Koreans when the Imperial Japanese Army fled the liberating Soviet Red Army at the end of WWII – leaving their babies and children behind. This demonstrates just how dangerous the lying bourgeois mind is. After-all, the same deranged mind-set permitted the “Black and White Minstrel Show” to be broadcast on the BBC between 1957-1978 – supposedly in support of Black rights and diversity.
