He spoke positively of Laos’s national development efforts and briefed the Lao side on the activities of the Communist Party of Belarus

Laos Buddhist-Socialist Republic: Visiting Belarusian Communist Party Delegation Strengthens “Party-to-Party” Cooperation! (24.9.2026)

It is rumoured that during the US aggression in Korea – China built entire cities underground in preparation for a US nuclear strike on Beijing (and elsewhere). As the bombing of Laos was just one of an ongoing list of US war crimes and crimes against humanity – the US government does provide low-key aid to the Laotian government’s attempt to clear-up all the unexploded bombs that litter the country – and routinely kill and maim men, women, and children every year. Furthermore, I am aware that some Laotians read this blog (one or two thank me for these types of posts) – for which I am very grateful. Belarus, of course fully supports Russia’s self-defence operations in Donbass against the US, UK, and EU-sponsored Neo-Nazi junta currently occupying Ukraine – a once mighty Soviet Republic (I also know that Ukrainians access this blog whilst hiding from the Nazi Authorities). I do not oppose Ukrainians – only Neo-Nazism.

China: Boost to Psychological Protection of Children in Difficulty! (24.9.2026)

Beyond strengthening existing programmes, new services, including care programmes for children with autism and assessments of family guardianship arrangements, will be established with stepped-up efforts, Hu said.

He also highlighted the primary-level role in child protection. China currently has about 42,000 “child supervisors” at the township and subdistrict levels and 550,000 “child directors” and workers at the village and community levels.

Hu described them as “strong guardians” of children in difficult circumstances and said their training would be expanded to include mental health screening, safety risk assessments, mandatory reporting and home visits as required components, strengthening their ability to identify and respond to risks facing children.

UK: Sign Petition to Remove Zionist-Supporting “Pink” [Alecia Beth Moore-Hart] from UNICEF Ambassador Role! (23.9.2026)

Pink’s recent comments are not just unfortunate but also incompatible with the role of a UNICEF Ambassador—an individual expected to promote peace, understanding, and humanitarian values above personal biases. UNICEF’s mission is to uphold the rights and dignity of all children, regardless of political affiliations or geographic boundaries. We rely on ambassadors to be torchbearers of these principles, fostering inclusive dialogue and meaningful support.

Daoist Immortal By a Lake!

UK: Daoist Magical Spells & Divination Arts! (23.9.2026)

In the Hakka-Cantonese language this (internal) process is termed “Mo-Sut” [魔術] (or “magic arts”). This is not to be confused with the similarly sounding “Mo Sut” (武術) – which stands for “Martial Arts”. “Mo-Sut” [魔術] (or “Magic Arts”) ran parallel with “Mo-Gui” [魔鬼] (or “Magic-Spirits”). My experience of Daoist magic came down through my gongfu training – and not through my Qianfeng Daoist (neidan) training. I suppose I experienced the “folk” variant as practiced within the culture of the Hakka people. In this regard, I practiced “invincibility” spells that prevented me being defeated in fighting over many years (when I was a teacher and lineage head). This is a lesson not in superstition – but sound character building and the application of physical skills. My ongoing training – which maintains my health and strength – constitutes “Immortality” training. Mo-Sut correlates with “self-visualisation” techniques that boost the self – whilst Mo-Gui seeks to unnerve and unsettle an opponent “at a distance” (as if their well-being is being interfered with by an unseen third-party).

Six Die Worhipping Tree Branches at Tribal Karam Festival!

India: Tree-Worship Remains Statistically the Most Dangerous Religion in Bharat!

Five of the deaths were reported in Bokaya village and the other in Nani Jharia hamlet. Jharkhand celebrated Karam, one of the biggest tribal festivals after Sarhul, on Tuesday.

The festival concludes with the immersion of a branch of Karam tree that was worshipped during the festival. Palamu Superintendent of Police Kapil Choudhary said an eight-year-old boy had drifted deep into the Koel river during the immersion ceremony in Bokaya village.

Four people jumped in to rescue him, and all of them drowned, he said. The bodies have been fished out of the river and sent for post-mortem, he added.

The deceased have been identified as Amit Kumar Thakur (22), Nitish Kumar Singh (18), Vishal Paswan (16), Raja Singh (12) and Hemant Kumar Singh (8).

In Nani Jharia village, 16-year-old Simpi Kumari drowned after she slipped and fell into a pond during an immersion ceremony there.

UK: Email – What Do I Think About the Balathal Skeleton? (22.9.2026)

Although 700 BCE is touted around the internet – the remains could be as late as the 4th century CE (well within the date for Yoga). The site is not Indian – the skeleton is Indian. My own view is that if this is a holy man – we are probably talking about the disciples of the Buddha who dwelled at the base of trees – a “root-dweller” no-less. Of course, this is just speculation on my part and I am running with the “meditating in isolation” angle. There is absolutely no evidence for the “holy man” interpretation except for the conveniently positioned hands and fingers (the academic authors of the second paper go out of their way to insert an elaborate Hindu origin for this). This seems unprofessional to me. There is no surrounding (qualifying) evidence for the holy man hypothesis. What should usually happen is that a note would be added that draws the reader’s attention to the fact that these remains, when viewed in a certain light, possess a passing similarity to certain well-known religious postures found within the practices of a number of religious and spiritual paths. Whatever the case, more evidence is needed and none has been forthcoming (these are not “new” digs).
