China: Shaolin Head Monk – Shi Yongxin – Under Investigation for Alleged Criminal Offenses! (28.7.2025)

In Japan, a Buddhist monk or nun can get married, produce children, eat meat, and drink alcohol. In other words, these people are lay-people in robes – but are practicing dishonesty. A group of Chinese Ch’an monks had been following the Vinaya Discipline when they travelled to Japan to spread the Ch’an Dharma – but returned with Japanese wives and children – and wearing lay-clothing – eating meat and drinking alcohol. In front of Xu Yun – these “monks” petitioned the post-1949 government of China to permanently abolish the Ch’an requirement for monks and nuns to be celibate and vegetarian. Xu Yun is said to have loudly slapped the table – stating that the Chinese government should do the exact opposite – that is, integrate the Vinaya Discipline into the fabric of China’s secular law. If a man or woman wants to be an ordained Buddhist monk or nun, then it should be a legal requirement – punishable by secular law – if they fail to uphold the rules and regulations of the lifestyle they have chosen to follow. Being a Buddhist monastic is a “job” that requires a strict form of lifestyle.

China: Trump’s Announcement to Withdraw from UNESCO Not Responsible! (25.7.2025)

After the death of Roosevelt and the election of the right-wing Christian “Truman” post-WWII – overt US agitation against the “Internationalist” principles of the United Nations (UN) began with a vengeance on the grounds that “Internationalism” was a key ideological demand of the Soviet Socialist System. As the primary armed force which took-on, confronted, and then defeated Nazi Germany (and its allies) during WWII – the USSR had a substantial philosophical input in the post-WWII world order. At least for a few years after 1945 – before the US realised the true extent of the political power its deployed army throughout the world granted the White House.

Gaza: Zionists Sanction OCHA for Exposing Genocidal “Starvation” Policy! (24.7.2025)

UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs Tom Fletcher told the Security Council last week that movement requires navigating an obstacle course of coordination with Israeli forces, through active hostilities, traveling on damaged roads, and often being forced to wait at holding points or pass through areas controlled by criminal gangs.

“All too often, civilians approaching UN trucks are shot at,” OCHA said. “Collecting supplies safely requires reliable assurances that troops would not engage or be present along convoy routes.”

Israeli UN ambassador Danny Danon, speaking at the Security Council, announced restrictive measures against OCHA staff.

Israel will no longer grant automatic visas to OCHA’s international staff. Visas will now be limited to one-month terms, said Danon.

Stephane Dujarric, chief spokesman for UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, said that any punitive measures will only add to the obstacles preventing humanitarians from reaching people facing hunger, displacement and deprivation.

China: Socialist Science Plans to Venture Farther into Deep Space by Exploring Mars, Jupiter, Uranus & Neptune! (24.7.2025)

“Ice giants preserve pristine gaseous materials that record the evolutionary history of protostellar clouds and crucial information about planetary formation. These planets serve as vital subjects for studying the solar system’s origins and exoplanets,” Yang Mengfei, a senior scientist at the China Academy of Space Technology in Beijing and chief designer of the Chang’e 5 lunar mission, told China Daily in an exclusive interview. An ice giant is a colossal planet composed mainly of elements heavier than hydrogen and helium, including oxygen, nitrogen, carbon and sulphur. Two planets in the solar system, Uranus and Neptune, are categorized as ice giants. According to Yang, Uranus has the coldest atmospheric temperature in the solar system, with a minimum of about minus 224 C, and the most tilted rotation axis among all planets in the solar system. Meanwhile, Neptune, the farthest planet from the sun, has the strongest surface winds, reaching speeds of up to 2,100 kilometres per hour. Moreover, Triton, Neptune’s largest moon, is considered “the most likely extra-terrestrial body in the solar system to host microbial activity”, and may provide key clues to life’s origins.

Mine-Field Clearing Will Cure British Racism!

British Racism: What Kind of Illness Is It & How Can It Be Cured? (23.7.2025)

I think an appraisal is important as many people spend their time reacting to racism – instinctively knowing what it is – whilst never actually developing an intellectual (or objective) understanding as to what it is this corrosive ideology actually represents. Attacking non-White migrants whilst welcoming White migrants is just one of the many contradictions the average “racist” must justify throughout their daily existence. A White Neo-Nazi Ukrainian migrant who has been given a free house, free car, free money, and even a high-ranking job without background check or references – who goes on to commit sexual crimes against British children (this is not that uncommon) – will be protected and preferred by the average British racist over a non-White migrant who is kind, considerate, law-abiding and pays their way.

PRC: EU Targets China Through Illegal Sanctions Against Russia! (22.7.2025)

I find that White people do not like to be reminded of this fact. Human-beings still existing in various stages of tribal or feudal society around the world were unduly impressed with cheaply produced Western mirrors (thought to be “spirit-catchers”) and glass-beads – thought to be from the sky (that is, the various gods that might exist “above”). In exchange for these cheaply produced trinkets, the representatives of the West (all competing against one another for influence) stole land, everything found in the land (natural resources), and took control of all natural resources already in circulation – such as iron, gold, silver, diamonds, salt, and all kinds of other things (including food stuffs). As the indigenous people had no concept of a “fair-price” or “capitalist exploitation” – they gave these things willingly out of a sense of innocence, dignity and friendship (perhaps superior to the Westerners they confronted). When they protested – the Western settlers simply took their lives.
