US: 14th Dalai Lama Mentioned 169 Times in Epstein Files – World Media! (7.2.2026)

The article quoted Wolff as suggesting that the Dalai Lama’s appearance at the event was likely related to financial interests. It also claimed that the Dalai Lama attended and spoke at an event organized by the controversial group NXIVM in 2009, allegedly receiving one million U.S. dollars in compensation.

Epstein, a U.S. financier with extensive ties to political and business elites in the United States and Europe, was convicted in 2008 of soliciting a minor for prostitution. He was arrested again in July 2019 on federal sex trafficking charges and died in prison the following month, with authorities ruling his death a suicide.

The DOJ announced in January that it was releasing more than 3 million pages of files on Epstein over a month after the deadline that the U.S. Congress set for it to release all related files. However, it has not issued detailed explanations regarding the nature or significance of individual names mentioned in the materials.

SIGAR: American Report Reveals “US Blunders” in [Failed] Two-Decade-Long Afghanistan Invasion! (2.2.2026)

02/02/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

It may be that the US invasion of Afghanistan will be historically viewed (when analysed objectively) as a far more comprehensive “defeat” for American neo-imperialistic intentions than either the US invasion of Korea (partly in 1945 in the South at the end of WWII – and then in the North between 1950-1953) and Vietnam (either covertly or overtly) between 1955-1975. The US mentality involves throwing bullets and money at problems – but considering the fact the US possessed weaponry of a far more advanced and destructive capability than the malnourished enemy (which carried rusty AK-47s – and were motivated by Islamic and Islamo-fascist ideology) – it is astonishing that after “20-years” – no military victory was won and no political socio-economic vision was accomplished. The US reduces countries to rubble (just look at Libya and Syria) – and refers to this wanton destruction as “freedom” (since 1945 to present – the US has killed around 30-million people around the world in the name of this “freedom”). When the Russians betrayed their Revolution in 1991 – the US was permitted to steal billions from the Soviet economy the workers had spent decades earning and establishing. Between 1991-2001 – around 10 million Russians died of starvation, homelessness, and medical neglect as a caring and uplifting Socialism was replaced by an uncaring (predatory) capitalism. This disaster was ignored in the West and viewed as “normal”. Only the rise of Putin saved the Russian people and put a post-Soviet Russia on an even keel.

The US Racist Gift That Keeps On Giving! Blacks and Whites United in Anti-China Prejudice!

US: The Anti-China Racism That Unites “Blacks” & “Whites” in Trump-Era America! (31.1.2026)

According to the report, the phenomenon is less about China itself than about how American frustrations are being externalized. The memes, the article notes, function as a way to externalize “the decay of the American dream,” as young people grapple with deteriorating infrastructure, economic pressure and political polarization at home.

At the same time, China is increasingly portrayed as a contrast and even an aspirational symbol. With its rapid urban development, expansive high-speed rail network and growing presence in advanced technologies, China has come to represent “something completely different” from the lived experiences of many Americans, the article said.

WIRED pointed out that China’s global manufacturing and technological footprint has made it “unavoidable” in daily life, from consumer electronics and electric vehicles to renewable energy equipment and artificial intelligence products. This ubiquity, combined with domestic disillusionment, has helped fuel a semi-ironic, semi-admiring online fascination.

Press TV: From Monroe to Trump – Imperialist footprint behind President Maduro’s kidnapping! (29.1.2026)

29/01/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

Beyond the UNSC, dozens of countries, including Brazil, Chile, Mexico, South Africa, and others, issued public condemnations, framing the action as a breach of international norms rather than legitimate law enforcement. Governments across Africa and Asia warned that the operation undermined the post-1945 international legal order. UN officials cautioned that treating extraterritorial criminal law as a justification for military force set a dangerous precedent.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Iran issued a formal statement strongly condemning the US military attack on Venezuela, labeling it a clear act of aggression and a blatant violation of Venezuelan sovereignty and territorial integrity.

Latin American reactions were mixed. Bolivia, Cuba, and Nicaragua denounced the raid and reaffirmed support for Maduro’s legitimacy. In Cuba, mass demonstrations equated the operation with neo-imperialist aggression. By contrast, governments aligned with Washington issued carefully worded statements urging respect for “judicial processes,” avoiding condemnation of the use of force.

UK police arrest eighty-six after pro-Palestine protest breaches London prison

UK: Supporters of “Prisoners for Palestine” Hunger-Striker – “Umer Khalid” – Penetrate Grounds of HMP Wormwood Scrubs! (29.1.2026)

29/01/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

UK police arrested 86 people after demonstrators breached restricted areas at HMP Wormwood Scrubs in west London during a protest supporting a pro-Palestine detainee on hunger strike.

London’s Metropolitan Police said the arrests were made on suspicion of aggravated trespass after protesters entered prison grounds, blocked staff access, and refused orders to disperse. Police also alleged that threats were made against officers at the scene.

The protest was held in support of Umer Khalid, whom campaigners describe as the last remaining participant in the ‘Prisoners for Palestine’ hunger strike.

This report sets out the nature of poverty in the UK, and evaluates changes under the last Conservative-led Government. It also sets out the scale of action necessary for the current Government to deliver the change it has promised.

Joseph Rowntree Foundation: UK Poverty 2026: The Essential Guide to Understanding “Deep” Poverty in the UK! (27.1.2026)

27/01/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

Disabled people face a higher risk of poverty. This is driven partly by the additional costs associated with disability and ill-health, and partly by the barriers to work that disabled people face. However, the proportion of disabled working-age adults in work increased from 42% in 2010/11 to 53% in 2023/24, while poverty rates remained steady over that period. In the latest data, there were 17 million disabled people in the UK — that is, 1 in 4 people (24%) — and almost 4 in 10 families contained at least 1 person who was disabled. The poverty rate for disabled people was 28%, 8 percentage points higher than the rate for people who were not disabled. Half of all people who were disabled and living in poverty in the latest data had a long-term, limiting mental condition — around 2.4 million people. The poverty rate for this group was 34%, compared with 28% for people with a physical disability.
