Zionists Have a Highly Selective View of Human Rights!

What Happened to Aung San Suu Kyi? US Holocaust Memorial Museum Withdraws Human Rights Award! (20.2.2025)

Oxford University has created numerous progressives, Socialists and Communists – and also a number of great fascists, bigots, racists, and other degenerates. As regards the British Unions, they are nothing but Trotskyite entities riddled with White racism, corruption, and betrayal of the working-class. The reality is that the Buddhist people of Myanmar (Burma) want closer ties with Socialist China – not the West (Aung San Suu Kyi initiated a BRICS alignment in 2018). Aung San Suu Kyi, once she gained government posts, attempted to deliver this “democratic” requirement – but the West attempted to stop this by using millions of Islamo-fascist migrants from Bangladesh to invade Myanmar and carry-out terrorist-attacks against the indigenous (Buddhist) population (raping women and girls). Burmese people defending themselves is NOT “ethnic-cleansing”. The US always attempts to destroy genuine (Asian) Buddhism as its monks are anti-capitalist and usually support Socialist Revolution. Islam, as a Abrahamic religion, and opens the door for Christianity and a full-scale adoption of predatory capitalism.

TCM is Highly Regulated in the PRC!

China: Hou [侯] Family Sentenced for Fake TCM Treatment – Full Story! (18.2.2025)

There is a tradition within Chinese culture of “Master to Disciple” transmission of spiritual, medicinal, and martial culture (I know – as I have been a recipient and beneficiary of it). This still occurs within the Chinese diaspora – and it still happens in Mainland China – but with the caveat that modern China requires a rigorous professional approach when it comes to medicine and selling treatments to the public. TCM has been aligned with the educational standards of modern medicine – both of which are available to Chinese citizens. In fact, there are entire hospitals dedicated to TCM within which all the staff are university-educated. Mainland TCM doctors also have surgeries throughout the West – and are often not cheap to consult (although some offered “free” treatment to Westerners during the Covid-19 Pandemic). Regardless, a number of law-abiding citizens in China disagree with what the Hou family has experienced via the PRC Judiciary.

Life of the Buddha!

Laos: Buddhist Temple – “Golden Ground of Ram” [ວັດໃໝ່ ສຸວັນນະພູມາຣາມ – Wat Mai Suvanna Bhumi Ram]

Laos is a Socialist (Marxist-Leninist) State. Religious freedom is guaranteed as a private matter (through the separation of Temple and State) whilst Theravada Buddhism is the tradition religion of the people. Therefore, Laos may be considered a Buddhist-Socialist State – as the Buddhist Masters advocate Socialism and Dhamma in equal measure. In English, this old temple should be literally known as the “New Temple” – due to its relatively recent repair (just over 200-years) – by Royal Command. As to the Pali name – it translates as “Golden Ground of Ram” – “Ram” is an avatar of the Hindu god Vishnu. Throughout Southeast Asia and beyond, ancient Brahmanism spread far and wide from India – before the rise and spread of Buddhism. By the time Buddhism arrived in the region – Brahmanism was already in-place – with the Buddha being associated with Vishnu (even in modern India – many contemporary Hindus count the Buddha as an incarnation of Vishnu [Ram] sent to earth to encourage vegetarianism).
