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). 

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.

Kampuchea: The Narrative the US Does Not Want You To Know! (16.7.2026)

Given that the PLA had defeated the US in Korea – surely China could have defended its ancient ally of Khmer without too much difficulty? Deng Xiaoping wanted to “open-up” and make money rather than pursue or protect the old order. As a consequence, very little genuine research is carried-out in this area as China simply ignores it – and the US is quite happy to associate Socialism with mass killing – a fabrication the capitalists have perpetuated for decades (virtually no one died during the Russian Revolution – but between 1918-1921 the collective West during its invasion killed 10.5 million Soviet Russians). The US (and the West) are the mass killers – and it is their habitual crimes that they like to protect upon their ideological enemies. Ironically, since betraying Ho Chi Minh’s vision of a “New Vietnam” – that country has struggled – particularly after the fall of the USSR in 1991, being as it is estranged from China. Only very recently has Vietnam approached China for a far more profound and deep economic relationship. Cambodia is merely left to rot – with its pointless monarchy and capitalist system. Indeed, whereas Polpot declared all women and gorls equal to men – Cambodia is today the world centre for filming paedophiia and trafficking children. Of course, there are no Hollywood films about this, and no catchy soundtracks – as that would be telling the truth and not peddling mindless entertainment.

Be Vigilant and Smash Trotakyism!

UK: The Disgusting Statement of the “Palestinian Presidency” Demonstrates Everything Wrong with the Trotskyite-Left! (10.7.2026)

All disgusting examples of “Entryism” – the mechanism the Trotskyites use to infiltrate and destroy Marxist-Leninist groups from within. I am not a supporter of theistic religions as political entities – and I do not support or oppose Iran with regards its actions in Gaza and Lebanon. Once, I used to support the Lebanese Communist Party on this blog until it issued a statement celebrating the other throw of Assad’s Arab Socialism – and referring to the take-over of the country by the US (and Israeli) controlled “ISIS” as the “liberation” of the Syrian people (this was said whilst ISIS was committing mass beheadings of Syrian people who disagreed with their presence)! This demonstrates the problem that exists in these pseudo-Communist Movements which have their ideological roots within the Communist splinter groups of Western Europe (there is a little clique of these splinter-cells that have assumed some kind of “imagined authority” in the post-Soviet space). Why are these “White” Trotskyite Communist groups allowed to ideologically dominate the non-White workers of the world?

The Iraq-Iran War (1980-1988) Cost Over a Million Lives and was Directed By the US & Israael!

Iran: How the IRRG Edits History to Support “Inverted” Theology! (20.3.2026)

This IRRG statement excises an entire episode of material history regarding Saddam Hussein – missing-out the fact that it was the US and Israel that urged him to attack Iran, that gave him the money and arms to do so, and politically supported him when he was doing it. The IRRRG statement, in an attempt to maintain its anti-intellectual (theological) position – then omits completely that once the US and Israel were finished with exploiting Iraq – they overthrew its Socialist regime and executed its leaders (including Judges) in the most brutal of fashions – the body of one Judge detached from the head as he fell through the trap-door) – all actions that Iran supported. Has this IRRG statement omitted these facts because they are inconvenient – and in fact embody the exact blue-print being deployed by the US and Israel toward Iran at ths exac moment?

Catholic Church Lies About Cuba!

Cuba: How a Catholic Priest Deliberately Misrepresents Cuban Socialism! (9.3.2026)

Alberto Reyes Pías’ text is not an objective analysis of the Cuban reality, but a piece of political propaganda that repeats narratives long used against the Cuban Revolution.
Cuba faces real difficulties, many of them stemming from internal economic tensions and the external siege imposed by the United States. But to reduce its entire history to a “failure” is to deliberately ignore decades of social conquests and sovereign resistance.
Cuba’s history demonstrates something very different: a small country that, despite economic pressures, media campaigns and political aggression, has defended for more than six decades its right to decide its own destiny.
