Cuba: The Loss Experienced on September 11th…! (12.9.2026)

I oppose terrorism on the grounds it is an Anarchic tactic – not Marxist-Leninist – that only hurts the innocent worker. A recent US academic study suggests that the US Military – since 1945 to present – has killed around 30 million men, women, and children around the world – in its quest to establish US-style economics. Much of this can be legally described as “terrorism”. In return, the US people have suffered remarkably “low” casualties and damage. During the Nazi blanket-bombing of UK cities (1939-1945) – the British lost 60,500 people (killed) with 130,000 (wounded). Remarkably, during the “Blitz” Nazi German bombing campaign (between September-May 1940) – the UK lost a staggering 30,000-40,000 – with my mother’s family being bombed-out of their native Lewisham. Today, the US is killing school-girls in Iran and is slowly attempting to destroy Cuba. The Americans, however, would have you believe that “they” are victims.

China: Ancient Chinese Horse Reconstructed! (12.9.2026)

The horse fossils, dating back roughly 40,000 years, were first found in a cave in southwestern Siberia in Russia. Initially, only broken jawbones and teeth were discovered, without a complete skull. Over the years, related fossils have also been unearthed in North America, Africa, Siberia and northeast China. However, because the bones were scattered fragments, the animal’s true appearance had remained a mystery for more than a hundred years.

In 2022, Chinese researchers at Jilin University and Northwest A&F University in northwest China’s Shaanxi Province successfully extracted high-quality gene data from the fossils. Building on that work, they worked with American researchers in 2026, comparing the fossil data with living species, such as the Asian wild donkey and domestic horse. They reconstructed the skeleton, built up muscle structure, and eventually recreated the animal’s full appearance.

When the UK was Truly Great!

Gaza: Israel Initiates Desperate Measures Against UK “Economic Sanctions” – Targeting Zionist Colonies! (12.9.2026)

The UK Establishment is running scared of its own working-class population – which looks to be on the brink of voting-in a right-wing government. This is due, in-part, to decades of UK support for Israel and its ongoing genocidal policy – whilst the British masses feels this is wrong. The right-wing is not the answer – but this is where we are. The bourgeoisie will not listen. It has generated this political situation by manipulating the press and the masses in voting to keep far-left parties out of power. Right-wing New Labour does not want to put any sanctions on its chum Israel – it has only done this – because it does not want to lose the next General Election (this will be historically embarrassing considering the majority it possesses). Meanwhile, “Palestinian Action” still remains proscribed and its leading lights rotting in prison. Do not be fooled. I believe this all political theatre. Nothing substantive will happen to the Zionist Project in Gaza. What will sink New Labour are the endless French boats landing on the east coast full of guests from other parts of the world. Even Local Councils are now refusing to land these boats – saying all the hotels are currently full! It is this anti–worker policy that will sink Burnham’s New Labour.

Buddha & St Benedict United!

UK: Buddha & St Benedict Entwined – a Retrospect! (10.9.2026)

Now, whilst in Hereford I befriended an Irishman (my family are part Irish) named “Brian Gray” – who was training to be a Catholic Priest. He was fascinated by Buddhism and liked to “spar” with me in gloved-boxing matches (I was a nasty bit of work in my late teens – as I discovered my natural physical strength). He introduced me to a “Father Thomas” the Abbot of the Catholic Hereford Cathedral. He wanted me to go to the Vatican to meet the Pope – and to join the Catholic faith – but of course, this was not my path. I am not attuned to entering these paths that discriminate against non-members for not being members. Also, at that point I was learning about how the Vatican supported fascism before, during, and after WWII. So you can see my predicament. Although I had friendly interactions on the personal level, there were certain political realities that had to be acknowledged and balanced. Anyway, the upshot of all this was that I was introduced to the study of the Rule of St Benedict followed by the monastics of the Catholic Church (and given the ring you can see here – although I am unaware of its significance).

US: Trump Conquers the World (in his Head)! (10.9.2026)

Even in the UK the Bank of England is subordinate to the US banking system (and cannot operate independent from it) – whilst US military bases strewn the land (there are parts of the UK where US military personnel walk around society in uniform). This de facto US influence is everywhere and it has been established and justified through the fear of a “false” enemy (such as the USSR, modern Russia, and various other States – such as Cuba and Iran). Europe, via its banking system and military, does whatever the US indicates, effectively following American foreign policy without question. Trump is giving an open expression to what is already happening regarding US reach and influence. The issue is that of progressing this “de facto” influence toward a “de jure” reality. Trump is expressing what the US is really doing and the hypocrisy of the bourgeois West is kicking-in. People like to “think” they are “free” from US influence onthe surface – whilst remaining completely subordinated to Washington behind-the-scenes. It seems to be bad form to point this out in the open.

Shen Elixir

UK: Enriched “Shen” – Sometimes Termed “Elixir” in Daoist Texts! (8.9.2026)

I did manage to write a biographical article about Zhao Ming Wang and get it published in the West – but I have always been battling the anti-China ideology permeating from the US – even from amongst some ethnic Chinese people living abroad. Then there are the “fake” Daoist lineages in the West that are inherently linked to the capitalist system – where they think their “income” equals “authenticity”. Those “who know” in and around the Chinese community simply laugh at this pseudo-Daoism. It is the same with Chinese martial arts (gongfu) – where affluent (fake) teachers link their income to being a genuine lineage. So be it. I have lived in and around the Chinese community for decades – and such a cultural setting has become my (personal) and academic speciality. Practicing the Dao requires full breathing, loosening the belt, and sitting quietly. This has to done properly and all the lessons need to be learned.
