Ram Dass Envelop 1996

UK: A [1996] Letter Ram Dass Sent Me! (24.9.2026)

Typical of a White American, Alpert “sold” the spiritual teachings that are “free” in the genuine lineages. As a consequence, there were generations of individuals from around the world who fell under his spell. His teachings were seductive as he wanted to be liked. He was a homosexual who apparently sired a child with a woman. He was once a world-denying (celibate) yogi – but when he returned to the West he soon returned to his privileged (bourgeois) identity. I wrote to him to explain that he was wrong about Socialism and Chinese Buddhism. He had said that religion was suppressed in the Communist Bloc and that his texts were “outlawed” and illegally copied and passed around. None of this is true – but it is a common mythos in the US. The truth is that nobody cared what a rich Zionist had to say – who was busy co-opting the spiritual culture of a deeply impoverished country (India) – whilst denying that country the opportunity of breaking-out of this ignorance through the adoption of Socialism.

And Mr Ashrafi told the Church Times on Wednesday that he had been subject to “propaganda” and that comments about his wife’s wearing of the niqab had caused her to be “in grief”.

UK: Muslim Scholar “Awards Débâcle” Deserves Apology from Lambeth Palace – Moderator of Church of Pakistan! (24.9.2026)

Hafiz Muhammad Tahir Mehmood Ashrafi was given the Hubert Walter Award for Reconciliation and Interfaith Cooperation on 11 September for his “outstanding work as an ambassador of interfaith harmony in Pakistan” (News online, 18 September). A week later, Lambeth Palace announced that it had been withdrawn, after previous comments made by Mr Ashrafi came to light, including a decision to honour Osama bin Laden as a “Sword of God” in response to Salman Rushdie’s being given a knighthood.

In an interview with Canon Chris Sugden on the Anglican Mainstream website on Saturday, Dr Marshall said that the Church of Pakistan had been “deeply humiliated” by the withdrawal of the award to Mr Ashrafi. “He trusted Canterbury as a Church office and took his wife and daughter there. This is a highest offence against him and us.”

He spoke positively of Laos’s national development efforts and briefed the Lao side on the activities of the Communist Party of Belarus

Laos Buddhist-Socialist Republic: Visiting Belarusian Communist Party Delegation Strengthens “Party-to-Party” Cooperation! (24.9.2026)

It is rumoured that during the US aggression in Korea – China built entire cities underground in preparation for a US nuclear strike on Beijing (and elsewhere). As the bombing of Laos was just one of an ongoing list of US war crimes and crimes against humanity – the US government does provide low-key aid to the Laotian government’s attempt to clear-up all the unexploded bombs that litter the country – and routinely kill and maim men, women, and children every year. Furthermore, I am aware that some Laotians read this blog (one or two thank me for these types of posts) – for which I am very grateful. Belarus, of course fully supports Russia’s self-defence operations in Donbass against the US, UK, and EU-sponsored Neo-Nazi junta currently occupying Ukraine – a once mighty Soviet Republic (I also know that Ukrainians access this blog whilst hiding from the Nazi Authorities). I do not oppose Ukrainians – only Neo-Nazism.

China: Boost to Psychological Protection of Children in Difficulty! (24.9.2026)

Beyond strengthening existing programmes, new services, including care programmes for children with autism and assessments of family guardianship arrangements, will be established with stepped-up efforts, Hu said.

He also highlighted the primary-level role in child protection. China currently has about 42,000 “child supervisors” at the township and subdistrict levels and 550,000 “child directors” and workers at the village and community levels.

Hu described them as “strong guardians” of children in difficult circumstances and said their training would be expanded to include mental health screening, safety risk assessments, mandatory reporting and home visits as required components, strengthening their ability to identify and respond to risks facing children.
