Zen of Galmpton! (24.8.2035)

Here we are. Zen is Ch’an in reverse – which is good as perception is the wrong way around. Turn it the right way around – and Zen becomes Ch’an the right way around. Not always an easy task – like catching a steam train whilst it is obscured by it’s own smoke. What a joy such contradictions are. They exist to test our perception and determination. As such, nothing else matters. We all look up – and we all look down – just like every koan (gong-an) you may have viewed. Still, none of it matters if you cannot lay it all down. None of it matters at all.

The Book I Am current Reading!

Stalin – A Biography (Re-Examining Stalin – Learning from Past – Taking the Right Path) By Dai Longbin (戴隆斌)! [20.8.2025]

Deprived of his father’s love at a young age, Stalin developed a distinctly rebellious character, a daring spirit of adventure, and a willingness to fight—key factors in his subsequent development as a staunch Marxist and Lenin’s successor. His personality enabled him to make tremendous historical contributions to Soviet governance, the Communist Party, and the military, leaving behind both glory and retribution. He was a historical giant, both charismatic and discerning.

Apply the Marxist Dialectic Correctly!

Stalin was a Great Working-Class Leader of Organic Communism! (20.8.2025)

Another tiger-trap is the “National Bolshevik” movement. To be clear, I am a Bolshevik (from the Chinese perspective) – but I am not a nationalist (Indeed, I am an “Internationalist” – a Maoist no less). The “Naz-Bol” movement evolved out of a fascist-infected (post-1991) Russia. This movement integrates Hitler’s ideology with a post-1945 US (Cold War) misidentification of Joseph Stalin. This flawed ideology misinforms that there is “no difference” between historical Hitler and a fictional Stalin. Well, 41 million dead and wounded Soviet citizens would beg to differ. Naz-Bols combine Marxist-Leninist economics with Hitler’s warped theories on race. This rejects the Marxist idea of “Internationalism”. On the face of it, these deluded individuals will talk highly of Stalin (as I do) – and then state he is no different to Hitler (which I definitely do not) – claiming both were ruthlessly racist (a complete lie – Stalin wasn’t even Russian).

Stairway to Heaven!

Northants: Kirby Hall – [1570] Elizabethan Home of Nobility! (1.8.2025)

This building reminded us in structure of Hampton Court (not far from where we live in London) – and Berry Pomeroy in Totnes, South Devon (not far from where my parents live). This is not surprising, as I believe from reading the available “English Heritage” literature that the same architects and engineers were used by the Court of Queen Elizabeth I and the nobility that served her. The front of the Hall faces North – with the back of house facing South (built on a North-South orientation). Local serfs (landless or homeless peasants) and peasants (land-occupying peasants) were employed by the nobility when large-scale building projects were initiated. Indeed, with the development of Guilds (primitive unions) – certain groups of peasants became highly skilled in specific construction and maintenance skills. Whether any such labour was employed from nearly Kirby Village, (situated to the South-West of what became the ornate rear garden of the complex), is open to debate.

Ancient Document - 1060 CE - St Peter's Church - Deene

Deene & Deenethorpe: St Peter’s Church [c. 1060 CE] Historically Significant Building! (31.7.2025)

Even a committed atheist will be at one with the deepest aspects of the mind and nature whilst sat quietly in these hallowed halls. On the way out, whilst walking back to the car, we met a man with a dog who used to live in Leicester – and even in Barclay Street, where my father and his parents lived! He has relatives in St Helena – and although an English gentleman – we got the impression that his White relatives had mixed with the Black population (former slaves) who lived on that famous British colonial island that once housed the Great Emperor Napoleon during one of his exiles!

Western Nedia Treats Israeli Crimes as Being "Natural" and a "Fait Accompli"!

UN Women: One Million Women & Girls Starving in Ongoing Gaza Genocide! (29.7.2025)

The crimes of the modern State of Israel are legend. The International Community has to draw a distinction between the Jewish diaspora in general (which exists across the world) – and the post-1947 (modern State of Israel which is premised upon the Jewish (middle-class) ideology of “Zionism” – which was declared a form of “White Supremacy” following a 1975 UN Resolution. Zionism and Jewish theology are not the same and not all Jews support Zionism. Furthermore, not all Zionists are Jews. The genocide that is unfolding in Gaza today is the product of the International Community treating Israel as if it is an entity that exists outside the law of civilised countries. Instead of firmly blaming Israel for its obvious crimes – the world media focuses only on the outcome of the crimes themselves – as if each murder happened in a vacuum and has no connection to any organised human activity. This flawed approach allows Israel to be separated from its crimes – and continue with the fallacy that it is the eternal “victim”. Jewish people throughout the world have to lead the drive to hold Israel accountable, and arrest, imprison, and/or execute those responsible (assisting the ICC and ICJ). The non-Zionist Jews must assist in the development of a “new” Nuremberg Trials to process the Israeli War Criminals. The Jewish State must be forced to behave in a civilised manner.
