China: World’s Longest Undersea [High-Speed] Rail Tunnel Project – Passes “4-km Boring Milestone”! (2.9.2026)

02/09/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

Stretching 16.18 kilometres, the Jintang Tunnel is a core component of the Ningbo-Zhoushan Railway. Upon completion, it will become the world’s longest undersea high-speed railway tunnel. Its 11.21-kilometre shield-driven section is being excavated from the Ningbo and Zhoushan sides by two tunnel boring machines that will meet beneath the sea.

The tunnel’s Ningbo excavation segment spans 4.94 kilometres, with its lowest point reaching 92 metres below the seabed. The domestically developed “Yongzhou” machine is currently boring through the hardest full-face rock section along the undersea route.

Russia: II [2025] International Anti-Fascist Forum! (1.9.2026)

It is peculiar that the “DPRK” (North Korea) is not on this list – considering how close Russia and Pyongyang actually are. I think North Korean troops may have been fighting and dying in Kursk around this time. Furthermore, the UK is missing off this list – but there were delegates from the “New Communist Party”. A number of these countries, at one time or other, possessed Communist entities that perpetuated the Trotskyite view that Russia was “imperialist” – a position I reject. I suspect that this situation emerges from there being a number of competing Communist entities within each sovereign geographical boundary. There are some that support – and some that oppose – Russia. But Russia must be supported once the fog of inverted thinking and subjectivism is lifted. Finally, it is an important observation that Communist statues pursue the task of inspiring the working-class by visually stimulating the Bolshevik dialectic.

Lugansk: ANNUAL [2016] POLITICAL REPORT – CENTRAL COMMITTEE OF THE COMMUNIST PARTY OF THE LPR & THE LEAGUE OF COMMUNISTS! (1.9.2026)

01/09/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

I, and my family, have been fighting Neo-Nazism in Ukraine since the Obama Administration initiated the over-throw of democracy during early 2014. I originally started by assisting the Communist Party of Donetsk (translating news articles from Russian to English) – but the DPR became popular very quickly and its exposure soon eclipsed by assistance. Next, I was contacted online by a young woman from Lugansk who requested that I translate articles of the Communist Party of Lugansk – which I agreed to do. At the time, Lugansk remained obscure – and still is today (my mother paid for a flag to be made of the LPR). I carried-on performing this translation function from the beginning of the Russian liberation of Donbass in February until December 2022 – when the previously independent “Communist Party of the LPR” was transitioned into a (dependent) “Branch” of the Communist Party of Russia. Due to security issues in the region, the CP-LPR website was no longer updated whilst all administrative duties were shifted to Moscow. The reality is that until the liberation of East Ukraine is completed – there will be no direct contact between the West and the CP-LPR. Yes – it is possible to contact the CP-Russia – but due to the international situation there is no guarantee of an answer. Anyway, a Lugansk comrade asked me to translate this vitally important (historical) document pertaining to the CP-LPR. It would seem that there are two Communist constructs operating within the LPR – te “Communist Party” and the “Union of Communists”.

Wales: Bizarre “Baumaris Town Council” Functionality Issue Persists! (30.8.2026)

31/08/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

This aligns with the BBC being a (forcibly) publicly-funded entity that behaves in a monolithic manner toward its financiers (the huddled masses). The BBC has routinely misreported about China, Iran, Russia, and has openly supported Neo-Nazism in Ukraine and the Israeli genocide in Gaza. The BBC, whilst being financed by the working-class – operates a ruthless centre, centre-right (bourgeois) trajectory in its reporting. This continuous disinforming has led to the BBC being banned in Russia and China for “racialised” reporting (amongst other places). It would seem that the “Beaumaris Town Council” has a historical issue regarding a rupture between the people who “elect” the Town Council – and how the Town Council that “delivers” all the functions expected of such a (democratically) elected entity. In a similar situation as that highlighted below – half of the “Beaumaris Town Council” (including the “Mayor”) “resigned” from their roles in 2017. It would seem that the local people are not satisfied with how the Town Council operates and is holding it democratically accountable (the local masses possess the democratic power to do this as “voting” equals “function”).

South Africa: ICJ Dossier Submited – Israel’s “Non-Compliance” with Provisional “Anit-Genocide” Measures Recorded [3 Articles]! (30.8.2026)

30/08/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

South Africa has accused Israel of breaking legally binding orders issued by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) intended to protect Palestinians in Gaza, while calling on the international community “to take all necessary action to prevent and punish genocide”.

In a statement issued by the Department of International Relations and Cooperation (DIRCO), Pretoria said that Israel has refused to comply with three separate provisional measure orders issued by the ICJ. This refusal “undermines their protective function and entails further destruction of the Palestinian group”, the statement says.

“The Provisional Measures were not only ordered to protect the rights of the Palestinian people under the Genocide Convention, they also safeguard the administration of justice and the legitimacy of the ICJ itself, by ensuring that the rights the Court is called upon to vindicate are not destroyed before it renders its final decision.”

India: Hypocritical “BJP” Uses Outdated “Soviet Tanks” to Defend Fascist-Borders! (27.8.2026)

27/08/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

Many millions in India are so poor that capitalism has not yet permeated their traditional (bartering) cultures. The individuals living in such undeveloped and impoverished areas lack any form of human-dignity and human rights. This is why money has no value in these areas. Meanwhile, the BJP is a product of the CIA interfering in the internal development of India as a means to prevent the spread of “Socialism” from China. This is why Western (racist) notions of the “Chinese” are taught in Indian schools under BJP rule. Today, India is ran by the 10% of Indians who have had exposure to the West – and the point of the BJP is to keep Indian people in a state of arrested development. Whilst hanging on every word of the US – it is interesting that the Indian Army has to rely on outdated Soviet Armour to protect its borders. Modern PLA armour will go through these old tanks like a hot knife through butter. As good as Soviet technology was in its days – the world has moved on and these tanks are no longer fit for frontline roles. How Ironic it is that the fascist BJP government does not possess the ability to design and build new tanks for itself – but chooses to rely on old Soviet models (so much for being an ally of the US) – that were originally designed to defeat Nazi Germany (perhaps the “Swastika” is the connection).
