As a result of the identified discrepancies in this case, the BMA could not allow them entry right away, as further verifications had to be undertaken. While these processes were unfolding, vulnerable members of the travelling company were disembarked onto airconditioned busses. The Government of South Africa subsequently interacted with the Palestinian embassy and other role-players. It was established that the absence of stamps, return tickets and accommodation addresses did not indicate that the travellers wished to apply for asylum.

Choe Son Hui, foreign minister of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, released the following press statement titled "G7 has no right to oppose the DPRK's sovereign option" on Nov. 13.

DPRK: “G7 Has No Right to Oppose the DPRK’s Sovereign Option”! (14.11.2025)

What is important to acknowledge is that there is a war of ideas and words in the world between a dominant White racism – and a continuous non-White resistance to that racism. I am sure Socrates would say it was illogical for those subject to tyranny and oppression – not to express dislike and rejection of that prejudice in word, deed, and thought. With the general lurch to the right (and far-right) we are currently witnessing throughout the Western world, young Europeans are being subjected to a wall of fascistic propaganda in virtually every walk of life, so that the false version of reality is presented. The tried and tested method is to install the warped prejudices of the older generation into the minds and bodies of the younger so that they can no longer distinguish fact from fantasy. The Old White Men’s club of the G7 seems to think that only White Europeans (refined as “White Americans”) should be entrusted to build and own nuclear weapons – when only Americans throughout history have been the only people on the planet to actually use such devices in warfare (twice) – incidentally, against a non-White (Asian) enemy (Japan). I suppose one of the greatest ironies is that via their access to US nuclear weapons – a rampant modern Japan now threatens North Korea in the name of Western (US) dominance on the Korean Peninsula.

Fire Boat Festival (Lai Heua Fai), marking the End of Buddhist Lent on October 7, 2025. Coinciding with the full moon of the 11th lunar month

Laos: Rainy Season Retreat Comes to an End for Buddhist Monks! (13.11.2025)

Beyond the spiritual rituals, the festival grounds came alive with vibrant activity as local vendors showcased a wide array of goods, ranging from traditional foods and drinks to handmade crafts, clothing, and household items. The lively marketplace added a festive touch, transforming the event into not just a religious celebration, but also a vibrant community gathering.

Well-organized and secure, the event provided a safe and joyful environment for all attendees. It stood as a testament to Laos’ rich cultural heritage, while also promoting environmental consciousness and community unity.

As the glowing boats drifted peacefully down the Mekong and candlelight danced in the night breeze, the Fire Boat Festival once again proved to be a captivating blend of faith, folklore, and festivity—a timeless tradition that continues to illuminate the hearts of those who take part, year after year.

Woman at Centre of Plastic Surgery Scandel!

China: “Ugly Wife Court Case” – is the “Husband Feng Jian [冯健]” Story “True” or “False”? (13.11.2025)

13/11/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

Having examined the Chinese language online sources – it does seem that this story is true. It seems that it dates back to late 2012 – but every so often (even in China) – it is re-printed with elaborations and revelations which were not in the original story. I did read in the comments beneath one version that the family involved are in fact “Korean-Chinese” – and this is why the woman involved paid for her plastic surgery to be carried-out in South Korea. My instincts were that this is “fake” as it opposes the Socialist laws on equality and those supporting the rights of women and girls. Of course, it could be fake, but I have included a number of Chinese language versions as well as a YouKu news article. Usually, the Chinese State “removes” all fake news and as it has not moved to do this – this suggests this story is true. It is disgusting that a woman and/or a child would be considered “ugly” – as this is a body-fascist attitude contrary to all Socialist ideology.

China: Survey Team Discovers 573 Ancient Stone Fortresses in North-West! (13.11.2025)

The survey revealed that these settlements spanned from about 2800 BC in the late Yangshao period to around 1000 BC in the Shang and Zhou (1046-221 BC) dynasties.

Mostly distributed along riverbanks, the stone fortresses were surrounded by numerous ordinary settlements without defensive stone walls, indicating a clear clustered relationship, said Ma Mingzhi, head of the team.

The development of these stone fortresses shows a clear evolution from small to large in scale, from simple to complex in layout, and from rudimentary to mature in construction techniques — with social hierarchy becoming increasingly distinct.

The survey provides crucial information for a comprehensive understanding of the origin, development, spread and evolution of prehistoric settlements in northern China, Ma added.

Soviet Cartoon - Stalin Spanks Trotsky After Every Wrong Move!

USSR: “Poses as a Leftist – Helps the Right as Long as Possible” – How Lenin Described Trotsky! (11.11.2025)

Further, Trotsky tried to unite ideologically disparate groups of socialists under his leadership and in 1912 created the “August Bloc”. But precisely because of the lack of real unity among the groups gathered under this name, the bloc soon fell apart. Lenin called it an “arch-stupid idea” from the very beginning and did not participate in it.

It should be noted that Lenin is faithful to his assessment of Trotsky in the future. On the eve of the revolution, in February 1917, in a letter to Inessa Armand, Lenin wrote about Trotsky’s actions in the United States and concluded: “That’s how Trotsky is!! He is always equal to himself – he wags, cheats, poses like the left, helps the right as long as he can…”
