Crooked Asana: When Far-Right “Yogis” Attack! (17.5.2023)

With the far-right (fascist) BJP Hindu Nationalists currently in charge of the government of India – all kinds of cultural and ideological perversions are taking place both within and outside of India! I suspect that normal Indians are just trying to “sit this out” – whilst they wait for normalcy to return to the public face of India’s ancient physical and spiritual culture! Of course, the iconology of the world religion cannot be copyrighted (as it is generally acknowledged that such material belongs to the cause of freely bettering humanity) – but this is not the case with Bikram Choudhury (born 1944) – who has instructed his lawyers to “copyright” the postures (“Asana”) of Yoga which he uses on a daily basis during his exercise classes! This approach would be similar to “copyrighting” the Christian “Cross” or the Chinese “Yin-Yang” (Taiji) Symbol! Normally, this cannot be done, but Bikram Choudhury certainly thinks that he now “owns” the ancient (and “common”) Yoga postures he routinely teaches. Of course, behind the scenes, Bikram Choudhury does not practice “Yoga” – but hires a team of Nutritionists, Physicians, Dieticians and Keep-Fit Experts (from all over the world) who are tasked with keeping him “in shape”! Bikram Choudhury then falsely presents the resulting “physique” (again – “not gay”) to the unsuspecting general public as being the product of the “inactivity” routinely associated with Yoga-practice! Bikram Choudhury teaches that breathing “deeply” whilst “sitting still” are the keys to acquiring an all-round, medically acknowledged level of psychological and physical fitness! His endless “criminality” has seen him flee back to the BJP India (in 2016)! Similar to his student Scott Paul Beierle – Bikram Choudhury has been accused of running a cult for purposes of committing sexual harassment, sexual assault and rape whilst perpetuating the ideology of racism (against non-White and non-Indian people – a typical BJP attitude), homophobia, fraud and immigration violations!

New Zealand: Victor Penny Experiments – Real or Imaginery? (15.5.2023)

The nature of the invention is known
to very few people in New Zealand, but it
is believed that like several inventors in
Europe, he hopes to be able to prove to
the satisfaction of tbe defence authorities
that he can project a powerful electric
current in the form of an invisible ray,
without wires, to stop men or aeroplanes
and paralyse transport. Experiments
with this object are said to have been
partly successful over a short distance.
Penny has now left the island, but is coninuing his work secretly.

Henry VIII: St Alban’s the Martyr Church (Cheam) – Constructed from a Nonsuch Royal Stable! (14.5.2023)

The wood used for the roof (and support beams) dates to about 1550 CE – and was originally a very large royal stable used by King Henry VIII and I am told – his daughter – Queen Elizabeth I! It was dismantled from its original site (adjacent to Nonsuch Palace) by Shipwrights – and brought to what was once a remote area of Cheam – and reassembled (with added contemporary brickwork) to form a very large Church! The wood would have been part of a royal forest cultivated in the area – grown to make ships, buildings and other required ‘royal’ structures! Therefore, the wood itself will be far older than the 1550 CE date the barn is believed to have been originally constructed! The beams are held together entirely by wooden-pegs – just as they were originally designned to be – with no ‘modern’ nails or connecting materials! Indeed, Shipwrights reconstructed this building as if they were building a wooden ship!

Russia: The Influence of the Modern Russian Orthodox Church! (9.5.2023)

This video features the ‘Great Eradication Squad of Dmitriya Donskogo’ (Великовражская дружина Дмитрия Донского) – a ROC-controlled Religious Education Camp operating in the Kstovsky District of Nizhny Novgorod Oblast – situated in Central Russia. Young students attend Kstovsky District- whilst throughout the day the religious teacher ‘arms’ the students and whilst they are taught to collectively ‘shout’ pro-government slogans – they are ‘ordered’ to run and crawl like soldiers with machine guns – performing various other combat related exercises. In the Camp’s posts on VKontakte – it is noted that such classes are held as part of the upbringing of ‘Patriots of the Native Fatherland!’ ‘Those who Graduate take part in ‘Special Military Operations’ – and are taught exactly what the ‘Truth’ is they are fighting for in this battle!’ The ROC states that theological study is ‘merged’ with current secular government ideology – so that ‘warfare’ is both ‘justified’ and ‘encouraged’. This is how the ROC now dominates a modern Russia. I wonder what a Palestinian Christ would think about his passivity being perverted in this manner? Surely, this modern ROC activity violates the Soviet Law which states ‘Incitement of hostility or hatred on religious grounds is prohibited’!

Nazi Germany: The 1943 Joseph Goebbels ‘Tatanic’ Film! (9.5.2023)

The film entitled ‘Titanic’ – is a 1943 Nazi German propaganda film made during World War II in Berlin by Tobis Productions for UFA. This lavish production depicts the catastrophic sinking of RMS Titanic in 1912 – and the massive lose of life this tragic event entailed! Despite the fact that there had already been a very good ‘silent’ movie produced in Germany during 1912 (just four weeks after the actual sinking) and that a British company had subsequently released a German-language film about the disaster in 1929 – the film was still commissioned by Joseph Goebbels – with the intent of showing not only the superiority of German filmmaking (whilst the regime was suffering debilitating military losses on all fronts), but also serve as a propaganda tool portraying Hitler’s lunatic ideas that it was British and American capitalism (controlled by what he termed ‘International Jewry’) that was responsible for the disaster!

May 9th 2023 – Long Live the USSR – Long Live Russia – Long Live the Eternal Victory Over Fascism! (9.5.2023)

For many – the Unconditional Surrender of Nazi Germany to the USSR was the Victory of the Communist ideology over that of the hate filled ‘reactionary’ thinking as embodied in Hitler’s Mein Kampf – an anti-intellectual tract that certainly does not get better with age (or subsequent re-readings). In short, from an academic perspective their is no ‘hidden meaning’. This Hitlerite anti-intellectualism is the exact opposite to the reality of the philosophical texts as constructed by Marx and Engels. This still holds true when elaborating the texts of Lenin, Stalin and Mao (amongst others) are critically assessed. Joseph Stalin’s leadership of the Soviet System from 1933-1945 should form a separate study on its own – as he had to lead the Soviet people (following numerous re-elections into the post of ‘General Secretary’) during what must be termed the ‘Hitler Years’ – although the rise of Mussolini (1922-1945) [the more inept of the two fascist world leaders] must also be taken into account, as the emergence of the Catholic-based totalitarianism in Italy manifested on the world scene when Lenin’s health started to fail.
