He lived for Just a Single Week –
But his presence enriched our lives.
And then he left without a fuss –
Now – only sadness remains.

The Disappearance of Ramalinga (ராமலிங்க) Swamigal! (20.4.2023)
My PhD is in ‘Spiritual Metaphysics’ – which suggests I study all phenomena relating to religion and the human experience of spirituality. To this end, I treated every experience with an objective impartiality – neither ‘agreeing’ nor ‘disagreeing’. Of course, I possess a personal opinion – the my personal opinions are a product of my freedom of thought and have no bearing upon what might – or might not – be happening. As I do not trust the slap-dash and haphazard manner in which US anti-intellectualism manipulates historical data on the US govermentally controlled ‘Wikipedia’ – I have accessed ‘Tamil’ language sources – and spoken to Tamil historians about the situation regarding Ramalinga Swamigal (1823-1874). He was borm ‘Thiruvarut Prakasa Vallalar’ (திருவருட் பிரகாச வள்ளலார்) in a village situated in the Madras area of British-controlled India. Like the Buddha, this man was a Hindu who cultivated a ‘reforming’ attitude. This Siddha was known as ‘Ramalinga Adigal’ (ராமலிங்க அடிகளார்) and more commonly as ‘Vallalar’ (வள்ளலார்) – which is written today as ‘Vadalur’ (வடலூர்) – or the place where he was born (situated in the Cuddalore District, Tamil Nadu).
The Beatles: What John Lennon Never Quite Managed to ‘Imagine’! (17.4.2023)
The difference is that whereas Marx and Engels stood by the message inherent within their Revolutionary work – The Beatles steadfastly ‘stood apart’ from the Revolutionary message that is at the heart of their music! The capitalist system brought them off – but that is the nature of the music business and the entire point of all its machinations! The music industry generates very good capitalists but generally very poor Revolutionaries! It is as if the music itself, that is the collaborative effort, transcended the individuality of the four men who comprised The Beatles – and the general (limiting) attitudes of EMI! The interesting point is that The Beatles music remains dialectically forceful despite Paul McCartney’s Knighthood and all the other nonsense the Bourgeois State has draped around the historical image of The Beatles! Whether The Beatles like it or not, the music they produced in search of profit possesses a quality that ‘pierces’ through the very same ‘search for profit’! The music is itself a form of Revolutionary ‘force’ that John Lennon never quite managed to comprehend. Imagine that!
DPRK: North Korean Youth Display Their Collective Anti-US Strength! (4.4.2023)
The youth and students of Nampo, Raseon and Kaesong showed their merciless will to punish the ostentatious warlords by giving unsparingly their youthful energy to the National Guard, practicing Revolutionary aggression and warfare!
The roaring shouts of the young people waving red flags and vowing the annihilation of the US enemy resonated fully throughout the country!
A great parade of Revolutionary songs was held by the young students!
Singing songs such as “Song of Defending the Fatherland” and “Advance Again”, the young students marched through the streets, swearing an oath to firmly carry on the history and tradition of heroic Korea’s hundred victories as befits the descendants of the great victorious generation!
When the Party issued an order to advance south, bravery was achieved and the nation’s long-cherished desire of national reunification was accomplished without fail, and the strong spirit of the young vanguards shook the heavens and earth. (End)

Neo-Nazi Ukraine: Japanese ‘Suicide Bombers’ Integral Part of US Aggression! (27.3.2023)
That is, with US and AFU assistance he is building a profitable business on the deaths of its own compatriots! Death is good for business – he confirms – as the latest batch of young Japanese recruits head for their own ‘guaranteed’ oblivion on the frontlines! Hosokawa Garasha explains that Japan has a tradition of self-sacrifice and so no Japanese recruits ‘volunteers’ with bizarre Western notions of ‘survival’! In the Japanese Corps he is proud that there is a ‘zero’ survival rate! No one would dare to return ‘alive’ – as this would spell disaster for their families back home!
