BMA-UK: Qumran: How Meditating Jews Borrowed from Buddhism to Build Christian Monasticism! (12.4.2026)

The Jewish community in Qumran chose to sit in meditation cells to seek a communion with their god. Why did some Jews do this? This is not a Jewish tradition and is certainly not recognised as a Jewish practice – even in a peripheral sense. Meditating in a cave must have come into Judaism from an alien teaching and different culture. Two prime candidates are Buddhism and Hinduism – with the edge leaning toward Buddhism (due to the lack of polytheism). Not only this, but Buddhism was flourishing in India during the 3rd century BCE and the 1st century CE – the time era attributed to the Qumran texts (the Dead Sea Scrolls). Christian monasticism (as practiced by the Celtic Church) must have originated in Buddhist India – and was adopted by a small group of Jews in the Qumran area of the Judean Desert (situated on the North-western shore of the Dead Sea). This meditational practice was continued by the early Jewish followers of Jesus Christ and was spread to the Egyptian Desert – where the first (distinct) Christian monastic communities were first formed.

Jungle People Adopt Cuban Doctor!

Guatemala: Q’eqchí [Mayan] Jungle People Adopt Cuban Doctor – Yunior Proenza González! (11.4.2026)

Sometimes she has had to walk four hours to get to a consultation, and in that time she has told the trees that what strikes her most about those lands is that many women have no limits to give birth, that they depend on the decision of the husband and that the children arrive without rest. He has succeeded in introducing family planning, convincing mothers of the importance of vaccines and five-year implants, and thus improving the quality of life of these women and their children.

In her sessions as a teacher, she teaches nurses to look patiently. He talks to them about vaccination, prevention, care, habits and hygiene like someone who sows invisible seeds in a land that has learned to resist without complaint.

That was why one day the children began to wait for him as one expects a returning relative, the mothers learned to trust his hands and the elderly to greet him with respect.

Now, as evening falls, the rivers have begun to worry about the moment when Dr. Yunior will leave these lands.

Pakistan: Israel’s Ongoing Genocidal Campaigns Criticised! (10.4.2026)

Do not be seduced by these otherwise interesting Islamicist articles. Yes – Israel is committing genocide – but the nuclear-armed Pakistan has been a loyal lap-dog of the US in the past and has sponsored endless anti-Socialist movements (the Taliban originates in Pakistan and Osama Bin Laden was permitted to hide-out there). It is a thoroughly corrupt State that imprisons its leaders if they dare express any secular Socialist attitudes. In many ways, Pakistan has shifted toward Iran’s Islamicist stance whilst many supposed leftists in the West dance to their tune without thinking. Criticising Israel does not hide the fact that a regime has more in common with Israel than it does the Palestinians. The very fact Iran does not seek the release of Imran Khan speaks volumes and should alert Western leftists to the threat of militant Islamicism masquarading as left-wing politics.

A Family of Enlightened Hillbillies!

UK: My Father’s Email of Light! (9.4.2026)

My father – Peter Wyles (Moses Waveman) – is currently in a pickle, but it is happening to millions of elderly across the UK as the incumbent Labour Party is busy privatising the NHS and the Elderly Care System. NHS staff and Social Services (SS) staff all collude with this deficient treatment so that it becomes “legal” to provide inadequate and abusive care to the nation’s elderly. Labour also orders the police to telephone (and intimidate) any family member who complains online about the terrible treatment that is happening to their elderly relatives. I know this because it has happened to some one I know. What a disgrace the UK has become. The NHS and SS workers should be on the side of the working class that pays their wages through collective taxation. Still, no matter what happens – we will fight to the end!

What Happened in Isfahan? A US "Pilot Rescue" - or "Search for Uranium" Special Forces Mission?

Iran: What Happened in Isfahan? A US “Pilot Rescue” – or “Search for Uranium” Special Forces Mission?

These special combat search and rescue (CSAR) helicopters, which have an advanced FLIR system, multi-purpose radars, can fly very low, and have electronic warfare equipment, entered the airspace of the Islamic Republic, and one HC-130J Combat King II, which is an aerial tanker.

They were filling their tanks in a mountainous region in the Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad province and then departed from Iranian airspace at the southern boundaries. Western media reports claimed that they had rescued the American pilot, without any evidence.

In the early hours of April 5 — two days after the initial incident — reports emerged of fierce confrontations and gunfire at multiple locations in southwestern Iran.

Iranian police forces (Faraja) and local tribesmen engaged in encounters with special forces of the American regime, which had entered Iranian airspace for a second time.

Simultaneously with these clashes, several telecommunication towers in Dehdasht, Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad Province, were struck to severely disrupt communications between the Islamic Republic’s defending forces.

UK: Gypsy News – the Battle of Friendless Lane! (9.4.2026)

. Another issue stemmed around the difference between ethnic Gypsies and those people from the settled community who simply declared themselves a “Traveller”. This was followed by an influx of Irish Gypsies and Gypsies from Europe, and so on. A few years ago, when I was in regular contact with the Gypsy Council, and had just publish an article about Gypsies who served in the Soviet Red Army – I was attacked by an Irish youth from a nearby Traveller community that had took-over a park. I say “attacked” – but as a trained martial artist and a law abiding citizen, I simply “moved out the way” of this short kids punches – which made his friends laugh and pull him away. Obviously, I did not grass, but I suspect the entire encounter is on the Sainsbury car-park CCTV. It is a sad state of affairs all round. Some of these people are violent and obnoxious because of the things that have been done to them in the past – this must be understood – but the prejudice aimed at Travellers is breath-taking! No other disadvantaged group wants anything to do with them. You will not see BLM or Palestine Solidarity turning-up to protest their treatment or demand their rights. Physical violence does not bother me – it is an occupational hazard – but for many others the shock of it far too much to take, and around it goes.
