USSR: There’s Nothing “Gay” About Soviet Fitness & Leisure – Or Is There? (17.10.2026)

This hypocrisy extends to the post-1991 heterosexual pornographic industry (pornography – as a financial exploitation of men and women – did not exist prior to 1991) – which sees men and women engaging in anal sex. As for Soviet history, photographic evidence abounds – with Slavic men acting stand-offish with other women (even their wives) – but warmly embracing and “kissing” other men (even those they do not know). Biographies and diaries of visitors to the USSR often speak of a sexually open mentally (which allowed for State-sponsored race-mixing – and homosexual liaisons providing it was kept “private” and out of the public domain) – albeit contained within the rhetoric of a moral conservatism. Many commentators point-out that a number of Old Bolsheviks were openly “gay” (there are rumours about Lenin being bisexual) – and this might explain why Lenin did not push for a complete ban on homosexuality.

Putin: 90% DPR Liberates - 100% LPR Liberated!

Russia: Putin Announces 90% DPR & 100% LPR Liberated! (17.10.2026)

Here is the odd thing – at every stage of the early conflict – when the DPR and LPR was defended only by poorly supplied local militias and internationalist foreigners (i remember “Black Lenin” from the UK) – the KPRF was photographed delivering food and medicine supplies to the frontline – exposing themselves to the dangers of war. It was heart warming to see this humanitarian solidarity in action. The Russian State entrusted the KPRF in performing this vital and important task. Much of the work involved helping children, babies, pregnant women, the elderly and the disabled, as well as the young and the fit. I know – as I volunteered to translate their Cyrillic news articles into English (so the Western world could know their struggle) for the Kommunist Parties of Donetsk and Lugansk when they were independent entities – prior to becoming “branches” of the KPRF. Where did all this co-operation and good-will go? I understand the October 4th protest – but it is petty when compared to freeing Donbass from Neo-Nazism. which brings me to my second point – why is the KPRF now “ignoring” the fact that Kyiv is under Neo-Nazi dominance? None of this makes much sense.

Dirty Revolution - UK Ska - Two-Tone 2008

UK: Dirty Revolution – I Love Reggae [2008] – A Skinhead Love-Story! (16.10.2026)

I am not sure if this type of music exists outside my homeland. Many skinheads – oddly – turned on the West Indian culture that gave them their music. Of course, not all skinheads are racist – but many are. The look, bovver boots, turned–up jeans, t-shirt, braces, and a shaved-head – has been used to intimidate non-racists, leftists, and migrants. I am a “skinhead” in a way – but that is because I am a Buddhist! My parents by-passed skinhead culture and diverted down the “hippie” route – and is the reason why I was born during the “Summer of Love” (1967). No all skinheads are racist – as this track attests to. Anyway, I think “Dirty Revolution” are from Wales and were active between 2007-2014. The lyrics are a thing of simplistic beauty!

China: Jurassic [Flightless] Bird Fossil Challenges Traditional Avian Evolutionary View! (16.10.2026)

The transition from land-dwelling dinosaurs to flying birds is one of the most remarkable events in the history of life, involving changes in the skeletal, muscular and nervous systems, skin-derived structures and behaviour, said Wang, the study’s corresponding author and a co-first author.

Macro-evolutionary models suggest that birds originated and began diversifying during the Jurassic Period. However, the scarcity of bird fossils from this critical period has left scientists with limited direct evidence of how the characteristic bird body plan emerged.

DPRK - PRC New Bridge 2026

China: Premier Hails New “Friendship” Cross-Border Bridge! (15.9.2026)

China and the DPRK are friendly socialist neighbours linked by mountains and rivers, said Li, adding that at present, under the strategic guidance of the top leaders of the two parties and countries, China-DPRK relations are entering a new stage and opening a new chapter. Xi has pointed out that no matter how the international landscape evolves, the firm position of China’s Party and government to attach great importance to the traditional friendship between China and the DPRK will remain unchanged; the firm support for Kim in leading the DPRK’s socialist cause will remain unchanged; and the determination to safeguard the common interests of both sides and maintain a favorable strategic environment will remain unchanged, said Li.

The Hermit is Self-Sufficient!

UK: Emergency Self-Ordination in the Chinese Vinaya Discipline! (14.10.2026)

Of course, the laity has a more superficial relationship with the Vinaya Discipline – and the Buddha taught soldiers, prostitutes, butchers, and even murderers, amongst many others. The Buddhist rules are NOT punishments inflicted by a disembodied sky-spirit (theistic god entity) – but exists to guide the psychological and physical energy that comprises an individual. The Buddha was scientific in that he emphasised cause and effect. We are responsible for the way we experience the inner (psychological) or outer (material) world. If you are happy suffering the consequences of the manner in which you live – and you never complain to anyone else about it – then why bother inflicting this form of Buddhist self-discipline upon yourself? There is no point. There are all kinds of reasons why people pursue the lives they do – and this is nothing to do with others – as we possess our own unique karma. Finally, status-hunting in the West – pretending to be a bhikkhu or being a genuine bhikkhu for the wrong reasons – is an offence and will bring its own hellish karma. The Vinaya Discipline is a very powerful and life-affirming vehicle that permits an individual to meet each manifestation of life with tranquillity and wisdom (in-depth).
