Ancient Church Full of Spirits!

North Devon: Ghost-Hunting at St Peter’s Church – Bratton Fleming! (26.8.2025)

Of course, if there is some type of residual leftover following death – then I will be more than willing to experience its presence. No problem – no resistance. I am free – so I choose to sit here. There is a sense of profound peace about it all – but at the beginning there was a mixture of sweat and coldness happening all at once. Many ghost-hunters find this significant – but these things can be experienced in many places. Whatever the case, my body has now adapted to its environment and I habitually wrap a blanket around me – like robe.

Canadian photojournalist Valérie Zink has resigned from Reuters after eight years, describing her decision as a “cry of conscience” against what she called media complicity in Israel’s crimes in Gaza.

Canada: Journalist Valérie Zink Resigns from Reuters in Gaza Due To Its Complicity with Israeli War Crimes! (26.8.2025)

Zink accused Reuters of justifying and enabling the systematic assassination of 245 Palestinian journalists, saying major western outlets have become a “conveyor belt for Israeli propaganda.” She added: “I cannot wear the Reuters press card except with shame and deep sorrow.”

Her testimony stressed that western media silence has not protected correspondents but instead gave Israel the green light to intensify its double bombings against hospitals, schools, paramedics, and journalists, turning words and cameras into legitimate targets in the genocide war on Gaza.

Rubber Dinghies More Effective Than D-Day!

Bulgaria Rubber-Boat Saga – Starmer Stops Biggest Amphibious Landing in English Channel Since D-Day! (26.8.2025)

Perhaps Turkey is doing this by supporting illegal immigration into the UK? If the boats can be caught en route – then it is an easy task to name and shame the Turkish companies behind the manufacturers of these boats. Yes – it plays into the far-right narrative – but that is because the far-right is, in this instance, is simply relaying the news, albeit for their own nefarious purposes. Why is the far-left silent on this issue – and effectively dead in the water? Is it because the far-left has burned all its bridges by remaining silent about the US-inspired Neo-Nazi regime that has been in power in Ukraine since 2014 – whilst subsequently declaring Russia’s response to it as “Imperialist”. With a track record like that – the far-right – like a broken clock – is going to be right twice a day just be default! Meanwhile, Starmer is so unpopular that Labour has completely lost the plot – with this episode being so stage-managed it is ridiculous! Imagine not knowing where a product is made in today’s 24-hour capitalist society – where every bean is accounted for!

I Can See Your Thoughts...

Dialectical Materialism & Rebirth for Marxists! (26.8.2025)

In a moment – things dialectically change forever. When the axe fell on the neck of Charles I in 1649 – the ancient convention of an absolute monarch in England ended forever. How could this have happened? Well, there was a Revolution which saw tens of thousands fight and die in England so that the emerging bourgeois class could usurp political power from the aristocracy. There was no future for the absolute monarchy. And yet the agency of the “moment”, despite its nature, continue to manifest unabated. Rebirth is not reincarnation – the Buddha hinted about the former but rejected the latter. Rebirth may not be what the average Marxist thinks it is. An effective Marxist regime must be replicated effectively from one generation to the next.

Galmpton Art Exhibition! (24.8.2025)

The local people are polite and inquisitive as the place is linked to Agatha Christie and during the Summer months they get hundreds of international visitors. The place is old, pretty and quaint. As this was the last day of the Exhibition – we thought we should go! The following videos allow you to experience our journey as if you are part of group! This a more conventional art exhibition – avoiding the modern variety – which tries to convince us that a White square on a white background constitutes “art”! Luckily, this type of of nonsense has not yet permeated it’s way to Galmpton!

Zen of Galmpton! (24.8.2035)

Here we are. Zen is Ch’an in reverse – which is good as perception is the wrong way around. Turn it the right way around – and Zen becomes Ch’an the right way around. Not always an easy task – like catching a steam train whilst it is obscured by it’s own smoke. What a joy such contradictions are. They exist to test our perception and determination. As such, nothing else matters. We all look up – and we all look down – just like every koan (gong-an) you may have viewed. Still, none of it matters if you cannot lay it all down. None of it matters at all.
