UK: Is Goju Ryu Karate-Do Linked to the Chinese Book of Change? (29.12.2025)

Indeed, those scholars who developed the Commentarial material that seeks to explain the Book of Change (Yijing) – often attempt to superimpose the ancient “hard” and “soft” with the concept of “yang” and “yin” – although the amorphous nature of this schematic means that one quantity is continuously exchanged for the other. When lecturing in China – this often becomes an interesting and contentious point of discussion. Many are unaware that the yin-yang ideal is not that old as it is presented as all conquering in many Chinese-language texts. Whatever the case, I keep in contact with a number of Goju Ryu practitioners – as this is a style of fighting I explored in my youth. I still assist practitioners of this style with their historical research – which is often of a linguistic nature. Linked above is a blog article uploaded onto our Ch’an Dao Blog.

Qi Journal - The "Great Treatise" Translation

US: Qi Journal – My Published “Great Treatise” Translation! (26.12.2025)

This material will be published throughout numerous (and obscure) academic journals – but I will make every effort to have a version published for “free access” on the internet. The fee I charge is that your return the six senses a) to the empty mind ground, and that b) you allow the empty mind ground to expand to embrace the entire environment. As you can see, this is a much higher price than just an ordinary exchange of money – be it supposedly empowered metal or paper. Here is the problem – I will accept no other payment for my work – but I will not “demand” in a dogmatic manner. Your realisation of “freedom” is entirely a matter of your own affair. Look within properly – or do not – the choice is yours. I will not alter my charge regardless of your decision. I will not stop you reading – as reading is the first-step.

Australians Take Illicit Drugs to Numb the Pain of Capitalism!

Australia: Wastewater Analysis Reveals Record-High Levels of Illicit Drug-Taking! (15.8.2025)

ACIC Chief Executive Officer Heather Cook said in a statement that the consumed volume of methylamphetamine, cocaine, heroin and MDMA had an estimated street value of 11.5 billion Australian dollars (7.4 billion U.S. dollars), with methylamphetamine accounting for 8.9 billion Australian dollars (5.7 billion U.S. dollars).

“Serious and organized crime groups exploit Australia’s high demand for illicit drugs and are focused on maximising profit at the expense of the community’s security and wellbeing,” she said.

ACIC said its modelling suggests that increasing consumption of methylamphetamine, cocaine and MDMA will continue through to 2027, while the heroin market is not expected to change significantly for the next two years.

DPRK: Military Martial Arts Master-Class! (9.9.2024)

Throughout the whole of Asia – the Imperial Japanese killed and wounded around 60 million men, women, and children! This number included many hundreds of White Europeans captured as POWs or civilian workers and their families. Millions of women and girls were routinely raped by the Imperial Japanese and their Korean and Taiwanese allies. This is why the North Korean people in this video train so diligently – in the hope that such atrocities will never be allowed to happen again!

Marxist-Leninism Will Change the World!

US Anti-Intellectualism – Stupidity – and Misrepresentation of the “Left”! (24.8.2024)

After 1991, and the collapse of the Soviet Union and the Communist Bloc (of Eastern Europe) – what remains of the Communist Party has splintered and shattered into ever more isolated, one-sided, and out of touch groups – all claiming (in their own way) to represent a working class that takes virtually no notice of their existence. Talking shops with no audience is the best example. Therefore, the Marxist-Leninist “Left” in the US (and to a lesser extent throughout Western and Eastern Europe) has no power or influence throughout society. Meanwhile, the US media and academic system continues to pump-out a slew of works denigrating Soviet history and deliberately misrepresenting the history of the Communist Party and the Socialist Movement. For over a hundred years a false history has been propagated by the American State which has brainwashed the average US citizen into thinking in a completely incorrect and fallacious manner. The US understanding of Soviet and Socialist is entirely deficient, negative, mythic, and legendary in essence.

Antonio Gramsci - Socialist

BMA (UK): Article Assessing George Galloway! (2.1.2024)

In his work Gramsci talked of taking over already existing Bourgeois establishments and ‘transforming’ them from within. In this method, Gramsci seemed to be advocating that an outright external (disruptive) Revolution was not required in the material world – only through a slow but continuous process of internal ‘gutting’ which sees the Bourgeois innards fully extracted and replaced with Proletariat equivalents! For Gramsci, the Revolution happens right under the nose of the Bourgeoisie – who cannot resist or prevent it because they possess NO idea that it is happening! For my BMA (UK) article discussing George Galloway – please click the above link!
