UK: Strange Stories from England – Proto-Stone Henge Dsicovered! (19.6.2026)

“The discovery at Bulford is fundamental because it’s the earliest example of people building things here that aim directly at the solstice. When we talk about the solstice, we’re talking about religion. About how prehistoric peoples understood the cosmos, the world, and their place in it. What we see at Bulford, and later at Stonehenge, is a way of celebrating and marking the passage of time, but it’s also about making sure the world keeps working as it should. It’s likely their way of saying to their deities, please keep us in mind, keep us warm and safe. It’s a religious event. That’s why it’s so important.”

DPRK: Buddhist Sutras on Display! (17.6.2026)

On a slightly different note, there was an English man called “Stephen Bachelor” who travelled to South Korea and joined a Buddhist monastic order. Indeed, I believe he eventually met the woman who would become his wife – at the time a Buddhist “nun”. Upon returning to the UK he established a Buddhist College in Devon – but as the years went by he started to describe himself as an “atheist” who do not believe in any form of religion or mysticism. He even banned Buddha statues from his meditation rooms – and when my teacher – Richard Hunn – was invited to teach, he also banned all incense. Of course, Buddhism is not a religion with the Buddha being described as “non-theist” (he said gods only seem to exist until believers realise they are non-existent). Yes – monotheism was unknown in the Buddha’s time – so it is interesting to consider what exactly it was that Mr Bachelor was reacting to? Did he think Buddhism was a religion – and the Buddha a god? Is this what they were teaching in South Korea?

Dad Waving in Torbay!

UK: Remembering the “White Wizard” of Torbay! (14.6.2026)

I think that if religions gave-up their ridiculous claims to exclusivity – then the method of “looking within” could become a legitimate part of understanding the material world (albeit “subjectively”) and take its place alongside “objective” science. As matters stand, religious development tends to be unregulated and more or less ad hoc in its ability to produce legitimately transcendent beings. Such a being would declare the path he followed to be obsolete as he emerges thoroughly enlightened. Today, religions make stupid claims of non-existent (exclusive) knowledge – and limit their practitioners to religious dogma. It is for this reason of general ignorance and their siding with capitalism that Marxist-Leninism has a bleak view of religions in general. If religions truly abandoned the physical world they inhabit – then capitalism would be left firmly behind. Greed cannot be encouraged at source when transcendence demands a complete break with all fetters that would bind the practitioner to the mundane. The truly transcendent amongst us quietly disentangle their minds from the tortures of the physical world and humbly “ascend”. They do not do it for fame, money, or recognition. Indeed, for us mere mortals, we will be lucky if we receive an emancipating wave from them!

UK: My Father Radiating Peace & Love at the Point of Departure! (31.5.2026)

375. Control of the senses, contentment, restraint according to the code of monastic discipline — these form the basis of holy life here for the wise monk.

376. Let him associate with friends who are noble, energetic, and pure in life, let him be cordial and refined in conduct. Thus, full of joy, he will make an end of suffering.

377. Just as the jasmine creeper sheds its withered flowers, even so, O monks, should you totally shed lust and hatred!

378. The monk who is calm in body, calm in speech, calm in thought, well-composed and who has spewn out worldliness — he, truly, is called serene.

379. By oneself one must censure oneself and scrutinize oneself . The self-guarded and mindful monk will always live in happiness.

380. One is one’s own protector, one is one’s own refuge. Therefore, one should control oneself, even as a trader controls a noble steed.

381. Full of joy, full of faith in the Teaching of the Buddha, the monk attains the Peaceful State, the bliss of cessation of conditioned things.

382. That monk who while young devotes himself to the Teaching of the Buddha illumines this world like the moon freed from clouds.

Joseph Stalin Looks Asiatics!

USSR: Joseph Stalin’s Association with Islam! (25.5.2026)

Whatever the case, children tend to over-simplify the behaviour of their parents – not yet mature enough to understand life and what it does to an individual. To this distorting effect can be added all the lies and disinformation that have been poured upon Stalin. Even when Joseph McCabe wrote his excellent biography of Stalin in 1944 – there had been at least twenty-years of misrepresentation. From this book we learn that his mother was a strict Orthodox Christian (this is never said about his father) and that it is through her influence that Stalin was forced into education and learned to read and write. At fourteen-years of age, his mother enrolled Stalin in a local Seminary School with the intention of him becoming an Orthodox Priest (she had already named him after “St Joseph”). Ironically, it was amongst the students at this ecclesiastic school that he first encountered Marxism as a theory. Stalin entered Seminary at aged fourteen in 1894 – and was expelled in 1899.

US: Trump Allows Public Access to “Little Green Men” Conveyance! (9.5.2026)

This false idea – that aliens have developed 20th century technology to visit the earth – is shared by the Western bourgeoisie and now exists in capitalist Russia and has even penetrated “Socialist” China (in China “aliens” are portrayed as being distinctly “Chinese” in penology). Zionist Israel is no different – with UFOs being portrayed as Biblically inspired “angels”, etc. In the USSR, Communist Bloc, and Socialist China, UFOs were quite rightly interpreted as being a false product of the bourgeois mind-set (added and abetted by people such as the racist and anti-Socialist Carl Jung). It has only been after the 1991 collapse of the USSR that a fake back-story of UFOs operating within Soviet Union has been concocted. Since 1979 and China diversion away from a hard-line Maoism – UFOs have been tolerated as a distraction for the Chinese State – creating the false story that aliens are technologically advanced – just like the Chinese people under Socialism. As to whether this is a proletariat re-imagining of the bourgeois UFO phenomena is open to debate given that China did not possess a fully functioning proletariat prior to its 1949 Revolution. Religiosity is important for the State to control the masses through a fear-induced obsession with what is unknown and what might come next. This is why each incident is open-ended – like the average Biblical text that cannot be proven as being literally correct or depicting actual events. What Trump has achieved in this “reveal” (like an inter-galactic baby shower) is allowed the public to access each case of mistaking weather conditions and psychiatric disorders that it has reported as “aliens” from within the safety of their own homes. Nothing substantially changes – other than a new distraction from the disastrous Zionist-led war against Iran and the Epstein Files (the latter also linked to Israel).
