Rainbow: Mitzvot (Commandments) – the Seven Laws of Noah! (12.6.2023)

This idea is a leap of logic that attempts to ‘link’ the ‘eight’ sectioned ‘Rainbow Flag’ of Gilbert Baker with the (Hebrew) religious teachings of the ‘Seven Laws of Noah’. These teachings are also referred to as the ‘Noahide Commandments’ (or the ‘Mitzvot’ of Noah). Although Jewish people follow their own set of ‘Mitzvot’ (Commandments) – non-Jewish people who live alongside Jewish people are expected to willingly comply with Noah’s Seven Laws. In Jewish scripture it is stated that Yahweh “created the world that it might be settled”. (Isaiah 45:18) This implies a level of required civilized conduct – which can only be achieved when non-Jewish people also correctly observe the required ‘mitzvot’.

Neo-Nazi Ukraine: Two British Passports Recovered on the Donbass Battlefield! (3.4.2023)

Although Russia is busy De-Nazifying Donbass (and nowhere else) whilst treating POWs very well – the propagandists in the West are taking videos of AFU atrocities committed against Russian prisoners (as well as captured members of the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Militias) – blotting out the ID badges – (uploading these articles onto far-right websites in the West) and falsely claiming this amounts to filmed evidence recording Russian Army atrocities committed against the US-backed Ukrainian Forces! Nothing could be further from the truth! What I have included here are two ‘British’ Passports found amongst the debris of the Donbass battlefield of two so-called English ‘Volunteers’ who were fighting with the Neo-Nazi ‘Punishment Battlements’! I figure if they are proud of their behaviour and truly believe in the Hitlerism they are supporting – they will not mind me exposing their antics upon my blog for all to see!

DPRK: Churches and Religious Life in Pyongyang! (23.3.2023) 

North Korea has three Christian Churches – all located in the capital – Pyongyang. Among them are the Qigu (七谷) or ‘Seven Valleys’ Church and the Fengxiu (凤岫) or ‘Phoenix Mountain Peak’ Church – which belong to Protestantism. The Jiangzhong (奖忠) or ‘Reward Loyalty’ Church belongs to the Catholic Church – which has a history of more than ten years (writing in 2005). In addition, the first Orthodox Church is still under construction. North Korea has around 13,000 Protestants and about 3,000 Catholics. Every Sunday – all Christian and Catholic believers go to these established Church – or nearby House Churches. Religious activities – such as worship or mass – are ‘protected’ and ‘guaranteed’ under the Socialist Constitution of the DPRK! Indeed, the above photograph (dated 17.7.2005) features a female ‘Deacon’ collecting donations within the ‘Fengxiu’ (Protestant) Church!

Email: The Problem of Russian Nationalism (26.5.2022)

I do not (and never have) supported modern Russian ‘nationalism’ – which contains disturbing elements of bourgeois racism and homophobia, much of it encouraged by the Orthodox Church. It is the same thinking that has Orthodox Icons placed in tanks as they are constructed in the factories – as if these religious objects possess a similar (or greater) power than the anti-missile technology that is also installed – the design of the tanks and technology being ‘Soviet’ in origin and quite often logical developments of this technology brought into the modern day.

USSR: All-Union VI Lenin Pioneer Organisation! (19.5.2022)

Therefore, most Bolsheviks (including Lenin) possessed a dim view of the Scouting Movement – declaring it thoroughly bourgeoise and decadent in nature – and seeing it as a serious encumbrance to building a Socialist State! Furthermore, even at this time, paedophilia had raised its ugly head in the Scout Movement in Russia, (following the tradition developed throughout Western Europe), which saw older men in authority sexually abusing the young boys entrusted into their care. This reflected the tradition of child abuse prevalent throughout the Protestant and Catholic Churches in the West – which was well represented throughout the priesthood of the Russian Orthodox Church! Although the children of the rich were sometimes targeted – the establishment figures preferred to also to target the children of the peasantry knowing that their parents could do nothing about it!

Russia: A Conundrum for Modern Religionists! (8.5.2022)

After the transition to capitalism in 1991, the standard of care throughout Russia dropped significantly, and the resurgence of religion opened-up the existing care-homes to exploitation by religious groups who offered to donate a chair or a table in return for general and unbridled access to the residents! It is common (on the modern Russian internet), for religious groups to link the economic deficiencies of the capitalist system to a general lack of belief in a sky-fairy (and the associated theology)! Such religionists insanely refer to the elderly residents as being ‘brought-up in a godless age’ and that this explains their ‘poverty’ and their habit of ‘sitting in the day-room and watching TV’! This is indicative of the evils associated with religion and exploitation such deluded systems inflict upon humanity in the name of a non-existent god-entity!
