UK: Should Cambridge University Investigate Rupert Sheldrake? (12.8.2026)

The Buddha does not contain ALL knowledge as if it were lying dormant in his mind at any given moment (therefore he is not “omniscient” in this sense) but he does say that an enlightened being can direct the mind in any direction he or she wishes (like a net enveloping and collecting all things) throughout the world, and in so doing bring any part of it into his enlightened conscious awareness. This lasts for as long as concentration is held in that direction and then fails away – remember that the true nature of the mind is “empty” and spacious – so that all phenomena seems to arise and pass away within it. In fact the Buddha states a long list of abilities and powers he possesses – including the ability for his mind’s awareness to travel to other worlds. What happened over-time is that through various commentaries and translations, the fact that the Buddha could move his mind’s awareness in any direction (or none) became conflated with the idea that his mind’s awareness was already in every place and at every time.

Rakovsky - Trotsky's Japanese Spy - Grover Furr

Chinese scholars have been publishing papers since the 1950s regarding how the capitalist West “lies” – but of course – the Sino-Soviet Split (1956-1991) often got in the way of objectivity. China under Mao Zedong supported Stalin and opposed the Khrushchev betrayal of Stalin and set itself in opposition to the revisionist USSR (in return, the Soviets painted China as “Trotskyite” and so the madness went on). During the 1960s, the PLA and Soviet Red Army routinely clashed in the border areas – with Chinese troops turning-up to fight carrying pictures of Lenin and Stalin. China’s post-1979 turn toward economic determinism further trained its relationship with the USSR – as did the Vietnamese invasion of “Kampuchea” (between 1979-1989) – formulating (with collusion from the USSR) the myth of the “Killing Fields” – as a means to prevent the spread of Chinese Communism outside of the geographical boundaries of China. I mention all this as the Trotskyites are past-masters of the “lie” and know how to sow “derision” between (and within) the working-class – thus rendering it weak, contradictory, and unable to effectively resist the continuous pressure imposed by the capitalist system. All we can do as individuals is operate from where we find ourselves in the general unfolding of history.

Observer: Oxfod University – Vulgar “Americanisation” and Excesses of “Predatory Capitalism” Must Stop! (10.3.2025)

“I have lost my work, been ostracised by colleagues and had no settlement from the university, no apology, no admission that the judgment has any effect on anyone else – although of course it does,” she said.

She added: “Universities tend to always ask for NDAs in these employment cases, but I will be resisting that because I do not see why a settlement should be dependent on my silence.” The Observer revealed last year that two-thirds of core tutorial teaching at Oxford is done by academics on what the University and College Union calls “Deliveroo-style” hourly-paid roles or precarious fixed-term contracts.

Jolly said she initially thought that the “sham contracts” she and Abrams had were unusual. “But we talked to young academics and realised no one could get a mortgage and people were stuck in this totally insecure situation for years.” It was an “open secret” the two women decided they had an obligation to expose.

After their court victory, Law for Change, the charitable litigation fund which supported the pair, said the case would secure better contract rights for lecturers at Oxford, but also help others working on “exploitative contracts” right across academia.

Grover Furr: Paul Robeson’s Meeting with Itzik Fefer, June 1949! (5.1.2025)

The adoption of (fascist) Zionism by the “White” Settler Jews changed this perspective as Golda Mayer (Israel’s first Ambassador to the USSR) attempted to have Soviet Jews (law abiding citizens of the USSR) rise-up and forcibly take possession of large swathes of Soviet territory – referring to this land as “Greater Israel”! There was no reason for this other than Jewish “White Supremacy”. Of course, as we must continuously cover our backs when making such assertions, the 1975 UN Resolution (now often hidden or disguised) confirmed that Zionism is a form of “White Supremacy” developed by secular Jews in late 1880s Germany! If booing from the gallery persists – I tend to direct the curious to my Jewish friends at the “International Jewish Anti-Zionist Network”. The delusion associated with theistic religion is the problem – not Joseph Stalin or the USSR. I say this as an academic expert in the study of World Religion. When an anti-modern and anti-science (inverted) belief system is entwined with racism – humanity has a massive problem on its hands. I say exactly the same about any narrow-minded religion be it Buddhist (my own), Daoism, Confucianism, Islam, Hinduism, Sikhism, or any belief system which advocates hatred instead of progression.

Palestine: Maryam Abu Daqqa Learns About French Democracy! (15.11.2023)

Al Jazeera operates out of the reactionary State of Qatar. This entity, whilst colluding with Saudi Arabia and Türkiye, has supplied arms to ISIS (and other Islamo-Fascist organisations in the region) that fight alongside US and Israeli military forces in Syria – which are collectively attempting to overthrow the legitimate Assad government. The details of this reality are recorded in the book entitled ‘The Management of Savagery’ by Max Blumenthal. Al Jazeera also trumpets the anti-China rhetoric broadcast by the US – always accusing China of the groundless accusation of Uyghur abuse, etc. This is how Al Jazeera is quite happy to align itself with the ‘White’ anti-China racism of the US – whilst simultaneously seeming to oppose the ‘White’ (Zionist) anti-Palestinian racism of Israel! The Qatari government pursues this path whilst doing ‘nothing’ to actually stop Israel perpetuating its War Crimes (after-all, Qatar and Israel are allies in Syria) – and does ‘nothing’ beyond puff pieces and fine words to assist the Palestinian people!
