Category: Laos Buddhist-Socialist Republic

Laos (near Vietnam) is a Buddhist-Socialist country which possesses a thriving Theravada Buddhist Sangha which fully supports the Communist Party of Laos and the development of a Socialist society!

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.

US-Bombs Removed From Civilian Areas!

Laos: Unexploded US-Bombs Still Indiscriminality Kill & Maim Civilians! (22.9.2026)

After surveying and identifying the bombs, UXO Lao teams coordinated with local authorities and informed nearby residents about the planned destruction process.

Following safety assessments, the bombs were moved approximately 1,500 metres away from the community to a secure demolition site.

Authorities said the explosives were destroyed using low-order demolition techniques in accordance with technical safety standards.

The operation was conducted to ensure the safety of local residents and prevent potential risks from unexploded ordnance remaining from US aggression in Laos.

UK: A 3-Pronged [Left-Wing] Answer to the Migrant Issue! (17.9.2026)

The problem with this definition is that the concept of a modern “migrant” is not politically “neutral”. A migrant is displaced by war, famine, illness, and economic hardship – much of which stems from the disruptive foreign policies perpetuated by the political establishment. Migration is quite often heavily politicised – as the acceptance of the individual migrant is used by the government and the media – to equate to the acceptance (a priori) of the political cause associated with the migrant. Migrants from regimes the UK government prefers are welcomed with open-armed – whilst migrants from opposing regimes (or political) views are excluded. The UK has a long history of importing migrants from regimes that oppose Socialism. The government (and establishment) do not want the taxpayer to understand or grasp the real situation and reduces it instead to a simplistic “either-or” argument. The issue is twofold – rejecting the coercive political situation becomes conflated to rejecting the migrant. Rejecting the migrant is equated with an “immoral” decision.

The Mind Must Be Calm and Serene!

BMA-UK: Buddhist Practice of “Accepting” & “Rejecting” Food Donations – The Politics of the Buddha’s Begging Bowl! (8.9.2026)

Rules in the Dhammic-sense serve only as basic guides toward moral-behaviour – hence the obvious latitude found in the night-life of places such as Thailand. Obviously, a lay-Buddhist is free to follow whatever path they perceive is correct for themselves and the circumstances they inhabit – after-all – it is their karma-producing habit. One issue is not to inflict suffering on others – including animals (this is why my family will never hurt animals in anyway). Hunger striking, in this sense, only physically “hurts” the individual participating in it – although a case can be made that those watching or caring “from afar” might suffer emotional pain. Of course, in the poor parts of Asia, Buddhist monastics exist whilst eating every other day – as the laity is so poor they have very little to share – but what an effort they make! Although starving themselves, the Buddhist laity will put aside a small amount for the Buddhist monastics. I was told that in the Northern forests of Thailand food is so scarce that Buddhist monastics often sieve a type of algae out of the local rivers – using their begging bowls – and share this to eat.

Laos: Luang Prabang Military Command Extends Greetings on Vietnam’s National Day! (6.9.2026)

The Japanese had invaded Vietnam in 1940 – although the Vichy French had partly collaborated. This was a betrayal of a former British ally. Vietnam had been split down the 16th Parallel during the Potsdam Conference during WWII – with Nationalist Chinese troops occupying North Vietnam and the British Army occupying South Vietnam. The French retook the South and when the Nationalist Chinese lost in the Mainland – these troops withdrew leaving the Viet Minh in-charge of the North. The French invaded to the north of the 16th Parallel in 1954 – forcing a battle at Bien Dien Phu with the Viet Minh – which the French lost suffering a humiliating defeat. The UN officially recognised “North Vietnam” – whilst the US occupied South Vietnam – effectively beginning the Vietnam War (which the Americans would lose by 1973 – and its fabricated “South Vietnam” being militarily defeated in 1975). The Viet Minh in the North became the (regular) “North Vietnamese Army” (NVA) – whilst the South Viet Minh (living under the tyranny of the US and Catholic Church) became the (guerrilla) “Viet Cong”. With the liberation of Vietnam – the Laotian people secured their freedom.
