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.

The Mind Must Be Calm and Serene!

BMA-UK: Buddhist Practice of “Accepting” & “Rejecting” Food Donations – The Politics of the Buddha’s Begging Bowl! (8.9.2026)

Rules in the Dhammic-sense serve only as basic guides toward moral-behaviour – hence the obvious latitude found in the night-life of places such as Thailand. Obviously, a lay-Buddhist is free to follow whatever path they perceive is correct for themselves and the circumstances they inhabit – after-all – it is their karma-producing habit. One issue is not to inflict suffering on others – including animals (this is why my family will never hurt animals in anyway). Hunger striking, in this sense, only physically “hurts” the individual participating in it – although a case can be made that those watching or caring “from afar” might suffer emotional pain. Of course, in the poor parts of Asia, Buddhist monastics exist whilst eating every other day – as the laity is so poor they have very little to share – but what an effort they make! Although starving themselves, the Buddhist laity will put aside a small amount for the Buddhist monastics. I was told that in the Northern forests of Thailand food is so scarce that Buddhist monastics often sieve a type of algae out of the local rivers – using their begging bowls – and share this to eat.

AAlice Weidal & "Wife" Sarah Bossard - Co-Leader of Far-Right German "Alternative of Germany" (AfD) Party!

Germany: Lesbian Far-Right Leader – “Alice Weidal – Will Not Let Her “Gayness” Interfere With “Hating Other Races”! (7.9.2026)

The genuine far-right, of course, is extremely homophobic (just as it is against Jewish people) and it is counter-intuitive that a “lesbian” woman could be considered a “poster-girl” for neo-fascism or Neo-Nazism movement. Within the German-language Press a number of observations are poignant. Firstly, Weidal is referred to as a “fig-leaf” – a person with an unconventional lifestyle which is used to hide the true nature of the far-right – and facilitate its infiltration into mainstream society. The other point is that the area the AfD won a local election in – resides in the former “German Democratic Republic” (GDR) of East Germany (following the collapse of the Berlin Wall and the USSR – the West unleashed a sustained wave of anti-Socialist propaganda throughout East Germany) – and it may be this left-wing influence that motivated the local population into mistakenly believing that the far-right is “acceptable” this time around due to the hue of the racist candidate. This is all about the far right laughingly perpetuating the false idea that some sorts of racism are acceptable – whilst others are not. This is a transitional step on the path toward making “ALL” types of racism acceptable – and we will be back to 1933.

The Connection Between Marx-Engel & Buddhism!

Email: BMA (UK) – The Buddhology of Marx and the Development of Historical Materialism! (6.9.2026)

​As you can see from the content of the BMA (UK) website – there are plenty of comparisons to be had between Buddhism and Marxism. This is the correct dialectical position and we must not permit revisionism or Trotskyism to stand in our way. Others have perceived such a connection – but I have spent many years quietly travelling to Buddhist countries, studying the Buddhist texts, sat in meditation, and navigating the labyrinth that is Socialism and Communism. This is a journey we must all go on (in our own way) to develop this pristine view. It is not “religious” – but the result of the stripping away of religion. This has included bypassing all the dialectical errors that have occurred in the understanding and deployment of Marxist Thought throughout the years. There is “no blame” – but merely getting on with what needs to be done.

Researchers have helped to unearth the earliest known evidence of human existence in Ireland

Eire: Ancient Land-Bridge Links Wales to Ireland! (6.9.2026)

Eight of them were found to have cave art which they believe dates from at least 15,000 years ago and possibly much earlier, and around 5,000 years before the previous oldest example of humans in Ireland.

The team are currently unwilling to be more precise about the location of the caves, for fear that they may be vandalised or looted.

“We know that modern day south Wales was settled from around 35,000 to 40,000 years ago, by intrepid early modern humans from southern England, France and Spain, crossing the then dried-up land bridges of the English and Bristol Channels – seasonally settling in caves along the inhabitable strip of land stretching from Chepstow to St Davids,” said Nash.

“Over 20,000 years their art progressed from primitive line drawings which may have been early tally charts, to more figurative and representative depictions of the world around them, and what we’ve found in Ireland is yet another progression from that.”

The rock art which the Lost Land Bridge Project has uncovered includes engravings on the cave walls, paintings in ochre and charcoal and line sketches indented into clay and earth by fingertips.

Laos: Luang Prabang Military Command Extends Greetings on Vietnam’s National Day! (6.9.2026)

The Japanese had invaded Vietnam in 1940 – although the Vichy French had partly collaborated. This was a betrayal of a former British ally. Vietnam had been split down the 16th Parallel during the Potsdam Conference during WWII – with Nationalist Chinese troops occupying North Vietnam and the British Army occupying South Vietnam. The French retook the South and when the Nationalist Chinese lost in the Mainland – these troops withdrew leaving the Viet Minh in-charge of the North. The French invaded to the north of the 16th Parallel in 1954 – forcing a battle at Bien Dien Phu with the Viet Minh – which the French lost suffering a humiliating defeat. The UN officially recognised “North Vietnam” – whilst the US occupied South Vietnam – effectively beginning the Vietnam War (which the Americans would lose by 1973 – and its fabricated “South Vietnam” being militarily defeated in 1975). The Viet Minh in the North became the (regular) “North Vietnamese Army” (NVA) – whilst the South Viet Minh (living under the tyranny of the US and Catholic Church) became the (guerrilla) “Viet Cong”. With the liberation of Vietnam – the Laotian people secured their freedom.
