Soviet Probe Venera-8 - 1972

Russia: Soviet-Era Venera-8 [Venus] Probe – “Kosmos-482” – Falls into Indian Ocean! (10.5.2025)

The Soviet Space Programme had a tendency to send probes in supportive “pairs” (known as “Space Communism”). As the USSR was not interested in – or limited by – financial cost, the progressive technology generated through the use of Marxist-Leninist dialectics did not possess any material limitations premised upon monetary “profit”. Of course, modern Russia is “capitalist” and has not been able to replicate the innovation that came out of the Stalinist-era and the Soviet victory during WWII. Although the returning Soviet probe was launched in 1972 – the attitude is that “capitalist” Russia, if it had been able to retrieve the fallen probe, might well had benefitted from its decades-old technology! If you “click” on the link above – you will find my articles about the possibility that the Soviets discovered “life” on Venus!

Falun Gong Cult

Falun Gong Cult: Dial 0800 ‘DISTANCE’! 

In an attempt to inject some humour into Falun Gong Cult activities (which, let’s face it, often look more like Nazi-Occupied parts of Europe during the early 1940s – rather than populations of the ‘joyfully liberated’) – this new generation of channelers are trained to open-up proceedings with a witty exchange (or ‘repartee’) to warm-up the crowd – one which often unfolds something like this:  

Question: ‘Li Hongzhi – are you there?’ 

Answer: ‘Yes!’ 

Follow-up Question: ‘Are you alive?’ 

Follow-up Answer – and Delivery of Punchline: ‘Yes – are you?’ 

Of course, experiments in ‘humour’ of this nature could prove highly successful – or be the equivalent of pouring arsenic in the soup as a means to improve its flavour! Will it work? Will it fail? Does it matter? With the US government bankrolling Li Hongzhi’s every move (or ‘non-movement’ in this case) how can it fail? Li Hongzhi does not have to ‘prove’ anything – he merely needs to appear to always be there (never ageing) – and like a lighthouse perched on a lonely rock somewhere – always broadcasting the same ‘bright-light’ of his anti-China message!
