The wooden coffin was on display in the Egypt and Sudan collections

UK: Why Museum’s Last Mummy Has Been Taken-Off Display! (14.9.2026)

When I was in Egypt during the mid-1990s, I found the local Egyptians would allow virtually anything just as long as you gave them money. In airports that served Westerners – the toilets would have no toilet-paper. Egyptian “attendants” would discreetly wait until a Westerner locked the door of a convenience and then knock on the door and offer sheets of toilet paper delivered under the door for a specified amount (usually Egyptian pound notes). This is the level of cheapness we are dealing with. Virtually anything was for sale in Islamic Egypt as the Arabs who control the country now have nothing to do with pyramid-building or the Pharaohs. We saw mummy after mummy on display as we traversed around (Egypt remains the only country where I was questioned by the Airport Authorities – and asked to explain “why” I was in a “mixed-ethnicity” marriage). Knowing what I know about the shallowness of contemporary Egyptian culture – I find the pretentious bourgeois attitude relayed below to be bordering on the laughable. Why would modern Egyptians care about the remains of a different ethnic group, whose religion they do not follow or care about? Muslims over the recent centuries have damaged the pyramids they now exploit to a remarkable degree. It is funny the BBC does mention this aspect.

2,800-year-old agora uncovered at Türkiye's ancient city of Troy |

Turkey: 2,800-Yearr-Old Greek “Agora” Unearthed at Ancient Troy Site! (11.9.2026)

Speaking to reporters on Thursday, Reyhan Korpe, deputy head of the excavations, said the discovery proves Troy wasn’t permanently abandoned after the Bronze Age, solving a long-standing puzzle about how the legendary city became the later Greek city of Ilion.

Korpe said the discovery is part of a dedicated research initiative launched in 2014 to map the connection between Bronze Age Troy and the subsequent city of Ilion.

Archaeological findings show that after the civilization collapsed, the site was left empty for only 80-90 years before new settlers arrived. Rather than starting over, they built their homes atop the ancient stone walls and continued using the old public square as an agora.

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).

UN: Israeli War Crimes & Crimes Against Humanity are Ongoing!

UN Report: Israel Forcibly Displaced 33,000 Palestinians from 3 West Bank Refugee Camps! (6.9.2026)

The report warned that the large-scale, prolonged and systematic displacement of more than 33,000 Palestinians from the three camps raises serious concerns over the commission of the crime against humanity of forcible transfer. It said the use of airstrikes, armoured bulldozers and controlled demolitions to render entire camps uninhabitable, while forcing residents to leave and preventing their return in the absence of imperative military necessity, is prohibited under international law and appears to amount to collective punishment, raising concerns over ethnic cleansing. 

UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk said the manner in which the offensive was carried out indicated that its aim was to remove as many Palestinians as possible and make way for further illegal Israeli colonies, describing this as a flagrant violation of international law.

A Battle Over Memorial to British Empire Heroes

Pakistan: Battle to Relocate [1895] British Empire Military Monument! (1.9.2026)

British Imperialism in India has a long and bloody history. British business took over India and extracted trillions from its raw material and wealth – guaranteeing modern India’s impoverished situation – and modern Britain’s first-world status. To achieve this – the British government established the “East India Company” and the (private) “British Indian Army” (the latter comprised of ex-British Army Officers and NCOs and locally recruited ethnic Indians). This force was supplemented by the regular British Army (recruited in the UK from the working-class slums). Britain shamefully interfered in internal Indian politics and that is exactly why this situation arose in 1895. Encouraging assassinations and then stage-managing the transition of power was the playbook. The British would literally cause a conflict and then take umbrage that violence had ensued against them. This manufactured “victimhood” is exactly what the US practices today to justify its endless military attacks. In 1895, the tribal people of North-West India (Pakistan today) were once again caught daring to manifest self-determination – and the British Raj despatched 400 British Indian troops (mostly Sikhs and Kashmiris) Officered by 5 (White) British Officers to garrison the fort at Chitral. Around 3000 Pathans (and their allies) faced-off with just over 400 British troops in a seige which lasted six-weeks (3rd March-20th April 1895) – which ended with the arrival of a British Relief Column on April 20th – putting an end to the entire affair (the two Relief Columns lost over 400 killed and around 200 wounded in the fighting outside and around the fort). The Pathans lost around 500 men (probably many more) and the British in the besieged fort lost around 42 (dead) and 62 (wounded).

Tribal Circumcision Costs Lives!

South Africa: Annual [Traditional] Tribal Circumcision Kills 48 Boys! (31.8.2026)

Within Judaism, Males are circumcised by Rabbis just after birth – with the Rabbi often filmed “sucking” the cut penis to stem the flow of blood. Christians reject this (racist) practice – but Islam continues it for boys. Midwives in the UK report FGM as it is illegal and requires specialist medical treatment. The women are granted various types of corrective surgery on the NHS. As for men subjected to genital mutilation – NOTHING happens – as the practice is protected under laws used to prevent anti-Semitism and Islamo-phobia. Even a Rabbi sucking a baby’s circumcised penis is considered “exempt” from sexual abuse laws (videos of this practice can be found on YouTube). In Africa, certain tribes allow their boys to reach 12-years old and then a Medicine Man (Shaman) uses a rusty razor-blade to cut=off the fore-skin. I can find articles for nearly every year going back ten-years that highlight dozens of boys dying from shock, infection, and side-effects of this operation inflicted without pain-killer, cleanliness, or follow-up medical care. When South Africa hosted the 2010 FIFA World Cup – often young oxen were taken into football stadiums and then kicked and stamped to death by young tribal men. When complaints were made about this barbarous ritual – the South African government retorted with the counter allegation of “racism”. And here we are
