DPRK: Buddhist Sutras on Display! (17.6.2026)

On a slightly different note, there was an English man called “Stephen Bachelor” who travelled to South Korea and joined a Buddhist monastic order. Indeed, I believe he eventually met the woman who would become his wife – at the time a Buddhist “nun”. Upon returning to the UK he established a Buddhist College in Devon – but as the years went by he started to describe himself as an “atheist” who do not believe in any form of religion or mysticism. He even banned Buddha statues from his meditation rooms – and when my teacher – Richard Hunn – was invited to teach, he also banned all incense. Of course, Buddhism is not a religion with the Buddha being described as “non-theist” (he said gods only seem to exist until believers realise they are non-existent). Yes – monotheism was unknown in the Buddha’s time – so it is interesting to consider what exactly it was that Mr Bachelor was reacting to? Did he think Buddhism was a religion – and the Buddha a god? Is this what they were teaching in South Korea?

One of the US bases in Okinawa lies at the heart of Ginowan city

Okinawa: US Military Crimes Continue on Occupied Island! (16.6.2026)

US soldiers, regardless of skin-colour, are “racist” in that they are trained by the US education system to view Asians as being racially inferior. Furthermore, The Japanese, being equally “racist” – view Okinawans as second-class citizens as many of them are of ethnic Chinese origination (Okinawa used to be a tributary State of the Chinese empire) – and this is why the US is permitted to retain a military base on Okinawa. The Japanese do not care what happened to the Okinawans – and the US do not care what they do to the Okinawan people.

China: Bravery of Soviet Red Army & People’s Army of Mongolia Remembered in Langwogou! (15.6.2026)

During WWII, the Japanese aggressors committed atrocious crimes across the Chabei region in northern China. They spent years constructing extensive military fortifications and blockade trenches, and seizing grain, livestock, and other vital resources on a massive scale while exploiting and enslaving the local population. Civilians were arbitrarily detained and killed, and those suspected of supporting resistance forces were subjected to brutal torture. Countless people were displaced and plunged into dire suffering. Even more heinous, the Japanese army conducted large-scale bacteriological warfare in Zhangbei County and across the Chabei region. They forcibly conscripted locals for live human experimentation and deliberately spread epidemics throughout pastoral areas, inflicting untold misery upon the local population.

In August 1945, the Soviet Union and Mongolia declared war on Japan. Mechanized units of the Soviet and Mongolian forces crossed the border and advanced into the Chabei region to fight the Japanese aggressors. Guerrilla units of the Chinese Eighth Route Army operating behind enemy lines provided support. As a result, the main forces advanced with unstoppable momentum, and liberated multiple counties in the Chabei region. On August 15, Japan announced its unconditional surrender, and Zhangbei County was subsequently liberated.

Shin Sang-ok Choi & Eun-hee - Defection or Kidnap?

DPRK: Assessing the Bizarre “Kidnap” Stories Aimed At Korea! (14.6.2026)

Whatever the case, and I definitely do not condone kidnapping of any kind, it is recorded that Interpol investigated these allegations and declared that there were no such undertakings – in other words – North Korea had not kidnapped anyone. Despite this finding, stories, films, documentaries, and journals not only repeat these stories – supposedly offering evidence – but also expand the operations of this tiny half-country to supposedly include kidnapping people from Romania (a Socialist country) and even Lebanon. I once saw a BBC documentary that filmed Japanese women in Korea being transported back to Japan – supposedly after kidnap. I later discovered this was nothing of the sort. These were descendants of Japanese invaders who were looked after by Koreans when the Imperial Japanese Army fled the liberating Soviet Red Army at the end of WWII – leaving their babies and children behind. This demonstrates just how dangerous the lying bourgeois mind is. After-all, the same deranged mind-set permitted the “Black and White Minstrel Show” to be broadcast on the BBC between 1957-1978 – supposedly in support of Black rights and diversity.

UK: Understanding the Bourgeois Play-Book & It’s Many Dog Whistles! (12.6.26)

To round it all off – the reactionary religions weigh-in with their general support of the bourgeoisie and its greed-orientated capitalist system. Meanwhile, many of us who have “ingested” the play-book of the bourgeoise start to act-out its requirements in the physical world. When one side attacks the other – the State unleashes the judiciary to further punish these victims of manipulation. The media then reports the trials as a form of entertainment – and the resulting sentences as a form of religious retribution. Working-class self-education is the only way out of this situation. We must uproot greed, hatred, and delusion and work toward our own inner and outer well-being. Remember – the prevailing narratives (as entertaining as they are) – are AL false and have no bearing in reality. It is all about “power” and securing its contination.

The Victim - Stephen Ogilvie - Was Referred By His Victims as "Humpty Dumpty"!

UK: Northern Ireland’s “Unluckiest Man” Targetted Twice By “Nefarious Foreigners”! (11.6.2026)

The government does not want to be accused of withholding data that might have criminal implications. The Up-shot of this fire-fighting approach (the immigration process must be protected at all costs) is that the existence of Mr Hadi Alodid appears to begin with him assuming the status of an “asylum-seeker” and leaving his native Sudan. He flew from France to the Republic of Ireland – and then crossed into Northern Ireland from there (I assume illegally) – where he was given permission to remain for five-years. This is ironic as the Irish border is heavily patrolled. Here is the asymmetric issue – whereas we know a considerable amount about the past of the victim – Mr Stephen Ogilvie (who nearly had his head cut-off) – we know virtually nothing about the past of Mr Hadi Alodid or his life in Sudan – the man who took a stout kitchen knife and attempted to commit a murder typical of those found within Islamic-extremism. Instead, we are told, there is “nothing terroristic” about the actions of Mr Hadi Alodid – so there you have it. His religious affiliation is ignored. We can all give-up worrying and go home pondering why it is that Mr Stephen Ogilvie is “so unlucky” in life. I am reminded of the film the “Wizard of Oz” – where the false Wizard instructs his audience to “Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain” – because if you do, then you will understand exactly what is going on!
