Media Office of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine in Lebanon 09-10-2023 The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine and the Lebanese Communist Party call upon all the peoples of our region (and their Resistance Forces), and all the honourable and free people of the world, to unite in their efforts and mobilize their energies in support of the Palestinian people and their valiant Resistance - in the face of (fascist) Zionist brutality and global (US-backed) neo-imperialism! The position of the Communist Party and the Popular Front was issued after a Joint Leadership Meeting, today, Monday, October 9th, 2023, held at the office of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine in the Lebanese capital, Beirut. The meeting included the Secretary-General of the Lebanese Communist Party, Hanna Gharib, at the Head of a leadership Delegation, and on behalf of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, member of the Political Bureau of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, Marwan Abdel-Al, and the Front’s Official in Lebanon, Haitham Abdo, and members of its Leadership in Lebanon. The two sides praised the steadfastness and sacrifices of the Palestinian people in defense of the honour and dignity of the nation, and expressed their pride and support in what the military wings of the Palestinian Resistance Factions have achieved against incredible odds - during the Battle of Al-Aqsa Flood - which revived the spirit in the body of the peoples of our nation, whose will the enemies have always tried to break whilst killing the spirit of Resistance in the souls of the Palestinian people and her children! They stressed that the Palestinian people today are waging a battle to defend the honour and dignity of the nation and its permissible rights from the (fasxist) Zionist and Western colonial powers, and that what the Resistance achieved in Operation Al-Aqsa Flood - brought to mind memories of the scenes of pride, heroism and victory achieved by the Syrian and Egyptian Arab armies on October 6th, 1973! Crossing the Suez Canal and destroying the (Zionist) Bar Lev Line! It confirmed in concrete terms the possibility of achieving strategic victory over the usurping entity state and all its allies and supporters - and that rights cannot be restored by wishful thinking and speculations on the illusions of a settlement - and that the only option for the Palestinian people is to regain their historical national rights by escalating their comprehensive Resistance, first and foremost through an armed struggle! They stressed the necessity of forming a comprehensive Arab Resistance Front to defeat the (fascist) Zionist Occupation, restore the full rights, capabilities and wealth of the nation currently in the grip of imperialist domination, and unleash the energies of the peoples of the region in the Battle for Liberation and progress towards a free society and creating a bright future for all the generations to come! The two sides called on all Arab and International Leftist Parties, forces, and frameworks to declare a clear position that supports the struggle of the Palestinian people, and to provide all forms of support and solidarity with their just struggle. They also stressed the continuation of joint communication and coordination between all supportive sides, involving various Parties and progressive forces in the region and the world. They paid tribute to all the martyrs who rose in defense of Palestine, the nation, and the causes of freedom and justice in the world! They also addressed a greeting of pride and respect to the prisoners steadfast in the dungeons of the (fasxist) Zionist Occupation, and to the freedom fighter Georges Abdullah sitting in the dungeons of the French Imperialist State! Expressing their complete confidence in the ability of the Palestinian people and their Resistance Forces to perform miracles, achieve complete victory, and extract all of their historical Human Rights from the control of the Zionist Aggressors – Rights that are NOT subject to negotiation or barter! #AL-AQSA_FLOOD Palestianian (Arabic) Language Text: http://pflp-lb.org/news.php?go=fullnews&newsid=16863 الجبهة الشعبية والشيوعي اللبناني: لحشد كل جهود وطاقات شعوب المنطقة لإسناد الشعب الفلسطيني ومقاومته الباسلة المكتب الإعلامي للجبهة الشعبية لتحرير فلسطين في لبنان 09-10-2023 دعت الجبهة الشعبية لتحرير فلسطين، والحزب الشيوعي اللبناني كل شعوب منطقتنا وقواها المقاومة، وكل شرفاء وأحرار العالم، لتوحيد جهودها وحشد طاقاتها، لإسناد الشعب الفلسطيني ومقاومته الباسلة، في مواجهة الوحشية الصهيونية والإمبريالية العالمية. موقف الحزب والجبهة، جاء إثر لقاء قيادي مشترك، وذلك اليوم الإثنين في 9 تشرينالأول 2023، في مكتب الجبهة الشعبية لتحرير فلسطين في العاصمة اللبنانية بيروت. وضَمٌَ اللقاء الأمين العام للحزب الشيوعي اللبناني حنا غريب، على رأس وفد قيادي، وعن الجبهة الشعبية لتحرير فلسطين عضو المكتب السياسي للجبهة الشعبية لتحرير فلسطين مروان عبد العال، ومسؤولها في لبنان هيثم عبده وأعضاء قيادتها في لبنان . وأشاد الجانبان بصمود وتضحيات الشعب الفلسطيني دفاعاً عن شرف وكرامة الأمة، وعَبَّرا عن فخرهما واعتزازهما بما حققته الأجنحة العسكرية لفصائل المقاومة الفلسطينية، في معركة (طوفان الأقصى) التي أعادت بث الروح في جسد شعوب أمتنا، التي لطالما حاول الأعداء كسر إرادتها وقتل روح المقاومة في نفوس ابنائها. وشدَّدا على ان الشعب الفلسطيني اليوم يخوض معركة الدفاع عن شرف وكرامة الأمة وحقوقها المستباحة من القوى الصهيونية والاستعمارية الغربية، وعلى أن ما حققته المقاومة في عملية (طوفان الأقصى) أعاد للأذهان مشاهدَ العزةِ والبطولة والانتصار التي حققها الجيشان العربيان السوري والمصري في السادس من اكتوبر عام 1973 وعبور قناة السويس، وتحطيم خط بارليف. وأكدت بالملموس إمكانية تحقيق الانتصار الإستراتيجي على دولة الكيان الغاصب وكل حلفائه وداعميه، وعلى أن الحقوق لا تستعاد بالتمنيات والرهانات على أوهام التسوية ، وعلى أن الخيار الوحيد لإستعادة الشعب الفلسطيني حقوقه الوطنية التاريخية، إنما يكون بتصعيد المقاومة الشاملة وفي مقدمتها الكفاح المسلح. وأكدا على ضرورة تشكيل جبهة مقاومة عربية شاملة لدحر الإحتلال واستعادة كامل حقوق ومقدرات وثروات الأمة من قبضة الهيمنة الإمبريالية، وإطلاق طاقات شعوب المنطقة في معركة التحرر والتقدم نحو مجتمعٍ حر وصناعة مستقبل مشرق للأجيال القادمة. ودعا الجانبان كل الأحزاب والقوى والأطر اليسارية العربية والأممية إلى إعلان موقف واضح يدعم كفاح الشعب الفلسطيني، وتقديم كل أشكال الإسناد والتضامن مع كفاحه العادل . كما أكدا استمرار التواصل والتنسيق المشترك بين الجانبين، ومع مختلف الأحزاب والقوى التقدمية في المنطقة والعالم. وتوجها بتحية إجلال وإكبار الى كل الشهداء الذين ارتقوا دفاعاً عن فلسطين والأمة وقضايا الحرية والعدالة في العالم. كما توجها بتحية إعتزاز وإكبار الى الاسرى الصامدين في زنازين الإحتلال الصهيوني، والى المناضل جورج عبد الله القابع في زنازين الإمبريالية الفرنسية. معبرين عن ثقتهم التامة بقدرة الشعب الفلسطيني وقواه المقاومة على صنع المعجزات، وتحقيق الانتصار التام، وانتزاع كامل حقوقه التاريخية الغير قابلة للمساومة والمقايضة
Author’s Note: What follows is a diary entry included in Alexander Werth’s epic 1947 book that records the events surrounding the momentous Battle of Stalingrad - which occurred in 1942. Werth spent much of the war-years between 1941-1945 ensconced as a BBC Journalist in the USSR and witnessed first-hand the brutality of the Catholic-supported Nazi German invasion - and attempted genocide - of that country’s population. Of course, the USSR was in fact fifteen diverse countries united in their joint other-throwing of the Bourgeoisie and the vicious capitalist system it practiced. At least three of these Republics, although ‘Socialist’, were nevertheless historically and culturally ‘Buddhist’. A number of Red Army regiments were formed containing ‘Buddhist’ men and women who fought bravely to defend the USSR from external attack! Of course, the West exercises a mixture of racially motivated ‘ignoring’, ‘disinforming’ and ‘misinforming’ when it comes to recording Soviet history. Soviet ‘Buddhists’ were good Communists – as Werth records. Furthermore, as we live in changing times in Bourgeois society - the manner in which Werth describes 'Tanya' is a product of his time and considered today as being 'insensitive' at best and 'discriminative' at worst. I certainly do not endorse this type of demeaning narrative. On the other hand, the historical data Werth conveys is infinitely valuable in the face of wall-to-wall US anti-intellectualism. Think for yourselves and make-up your own minds. As the (British-educated) Werth could read, write and speak Russian fluently, (he was born in Russia - but his family migrated to the UK when he was very young), he takes a rather stern and overly critical attitude toward the Soviet method of providing authoritative translation textbooks (conveying correct Russian to Asiatic language translations and vice versa) – which were then deployed amongst the non-Russian populations by specially trained Cadres of young people who could not necessarily understand the language of the non-Russian ethnicities to any great degree (as they did not have to). This Soviet method allowed a few genuine experts in all the included languages to centrally compile these textbooks - which were then printed in their tens of thousands and quickly distributed freely to the masses – thus enhancing communication and cultural exchange. In a very real sense, Cadres such a ‘Tanya’ featured below – acted as a proto-search engine – with the caveat that unlike the universal translators of the modern internet age, the translations she supplied were ‘correct’ and ‘sound’. Once again, if indeed another example is needed, we see the ‘corruption’ of the Lamaist system of landlordism which the Communist Party of China has thoroughly over-thrown in Tibet and China! Although John Snelling – of the Buddhist Society in London – once published a book about ‘Buddhism in Russia’, he did so by completely ignoring the English language evidence provided by Werth, a fellow Britain who had lived in the USSR for many years of his life! After-all, people like Snelling were pursuing the hidden agenda of conforming to the strictures of US anti-intellectualism during the so-called ‘Cold War’ and misrepresenting the USSR through the agency of Buddhism. For the record, I do not agree with the arbitrary ransacking of temples or stealing Buddha statues – as this is the behaviour of the Western imperialists (a process which can be clearly observed in the British Museum). Local people taking matters into their own hands, however, is an issue involving the self-governing of Revolutionary activities, and the situation explained below should be interpreted in this context. (25.9.2023) November 23 (1942) ‘The other day I got to know, through Ludmilla, an enormously fat girl, tall, red-cheeked, and ginger-haired, called Tanya – with legs like Doric pillars. She seems to be vaguely married to somebody – or divorced; I don’t know. Anyway, this formidable fat blonde is said to drive all the Caucasians and Asiatic crazy, whenever she visits their countries. She’s on a good racket. She translates into smooth Russian verse the works of Azerbaijan, Buriat-Mongol, Yakut and God knows whatever poets. She doesn’t know any of their languages, of course, but she is given a literal translation, and then concocts a poem with roughly the same idea, and it’s often called “Translated from the Buriat-Mongol,” etc. It’s a well-paid and well-encouraged racket, and she claims that Stalin himself was delighted with her Buriat-Mongol Poems. It’s done in the name of a closer acqiantance amongst the peoples of the Soviet Union, and these “translators” are given some wonderful facilities by the Writers’ Union. Thus, Tanya, has travelled by plane, ship, carriage, reindeer, sleigh, railway, and every other means of locomotion all over Western Siberia, and Yakutia, and right up to the Siberian Arctic coast, and all through Central Asia and Mongolia, and also the Caucasus. She is full of good stories about life in Yakutia, now quite a reasonably large town, and almost a metropolis in north-Siberian terms, and about all the remarkable adventurous characters one meets there – trappers, and sea captains who sometimes hibernate in the Bear Islands and Wrangel Island. She also tells stories of Buriat-Mongolia – of the secretary of the Obkom who as a youngster became famous for killing the most notorious bandit of the region; he came home one day and threw the bandit’s head on the family dinner-table, much to his mother’s horror. “He has an extraordinary face,” said Tanya, “very and pale, a perfect Mongolian face, with grey temples and black fiery eyes.” He had also led the young people’s revolt against the Lamas. When the Buriat-Mongolian Communists heard Stalin had expressed approval of Tanya’s translations from Buriat-Mongolian, they ransacked a distant temple and presented her with a whole trunkful of Buddhas. When I went to her flat the other day – she shares her house with some other people – I found that she still had a few Buddhas left; the rest had been looted by her friends, while some had been destroyed in the bombing of Moscow last year when there was a fire in the house where she was living. One of the Buddhas she carries around everywhere and seems to be very superstitious about it. She also owns a remarkable brass statue from a Buddhist temple – an unbelievably erotic affair.’ Alexander Werth: The Year of Stalingrad, Simon, (2001), Book III - The Defensive Battle – Chapter V - Moscow in October and November, Pages 327-328 English Language Reference:
The 14th Dalai Lama was brought up in a Potala Palace (in Lhasa) that deliberately harboured Nazi German War Criminals. He was at the top of a ruthless 'Lamaist' hierarchy that raped, tortured and murdered the oppressed Serf population! These Nazi War Criminals had escaped from British POW Camps in India and had taken refuge in a Tibet that had been 'friendly' to these racists from Hitler's Germany! In return for their compliance in 'lying' about a forceful takeover of Tibet by the fabled 'Chinese' (the remit was that the 'Chinese' behaved like 'Nazi Germans') these Nazi German 'War Criminals' would be granted 'Immunity' from Prosecution! Indeed, they would write books (in English) and would receive immediate US Citizenship for their assistance in this grand scheme of deception! Part of this façade has involved the 14th Dalai Lama being presented to the West as a ‘Christ-like’ figure worthy of respect and worship! India has been part and parcel of this process of ‘lying’ and ‘misrepresenting’ China, its culture and its religious traditions! The US anti-intellectualism employed by the CIA was that 'China' had 'invaded' an integral part of its 'own' territory! By the time of the 1949 Socialist Revolution in China – and the 1959 'Liberation' of the Tibetan region - Tibet had been a part of geographical China for over a thousand years - with millions of Tibetans living throughout Southwest China after expanding into China proper! When the capitalist-friendly 'Nationalist' government ruled China between 1912-1949 - the US was absolutely fine with Tibet being an integral part of China! It was only when the anti-capitalist 'Socialist' government was brought to power in 1949 that a right-wing US (Truman) government had a problem with the new arrangement. This was when the myth-making machine chugged into action! When the ethnic Han (Chinese) Buddhist Master - Xu Yun (1840-1959) - visited the Tibetan region during the late 1880s - he was shocked and appalled by the 'decadence' he encountered! Many 'apologists' for Western imperialism tried to suggest that this movement away from the Vinaya Discipline (as laid down by the Buddha) was a necessary part of the Buddhist adaptation to the Tibetan environment, but the problem with this thinking is the 'Lamaism' is NOT Buddhism per se, but rather a ruthless manifestation of a system of Buddhist totalitarianism! These so-called 'High Lamas' were nothing but militarised Landlords who possessed numerous wives and concubines and passed on their vast estates to their children! Anyone who dared to question or challenge their authority often ended up having their eyeballs publicly 'gouged out' with a spoon! This was the corrupt system that Adolf Hitler was very interested in - as he was obsessed with the bizarre idea that the racially pure 'Aryans' had originated within Tibet - and that the naturally 'racist' high Lamas were somehow 'descendants' of these racially pure ancestors who had spread to Germany! This explains why numerous Nazi German archaeological expeditions were sent to the region - and why the young 14th Dalai Lama was ingratiated with Hitler's emissaries! These 'Aryan' representatives would soon be replaced by their CIA equivalents - as the Americans spirited the Dalai Lama away to India and a fabricated story of a 'Chinese invasion' was concocted! This falsehood is now masquerading as the 'norm' in the West - with only people across China (including the Tibetan region) - truly understanding the reality of the situation! The corruption of the 14th Dalai Lama is well-known – but the US follows a policy of never presenting his image in a negative light! He has been friends with mass murderers, has been involved with the hacking of US defence computers and has been caught demanding that everyone follows a vegetarian diet – whilst being caught ordering plates of ham sandwiches at the various five-star hotels he and his entourage frequents! Although he is supposed to be an impoverished Buddhist monk – it has been revealed that he receives a yearly allowance of $200,000 from the US govement! This maverick behaviour all fits in with the ‘Bourgeois’ (‘Christianised’) Buddhism he peddles in the West! Anyone can access the Buddhist Vinaya Discipline – even the far more liberal ‘Tibetan’ version – and see that the 14th Dalai Lama does NOT adhere to this very strict psychological and physical discipline that involves the upholding of hundreds of rules! Yet again his hypocrisy and corruption has been displayed in his ‘amorous’ behaviour (forbidden by the Vinaya Discipline) which involves him insisting upon ‘kissing’ those he meets – but only involving the touching of tongues!
Dear A
Thank you for your email requesting data regarding the historical CPC in Tibet. The ethnic Tibetans (prior to their conversion to 'Buddhism') were a very violent 'warrior' ethnicity and invaded large swathes of Western and Southwestern geographical China during the 10th century CE - and continued to re-settle these vast areas (such as Sichuan and Yunnan, etc_, although both 'names' and 'boundaries have changed over the centuries as Dynasties have come and gone. This is why millions of Tibetans (the Tibetan 'diaspora') today live outside of geographical Tibet - inside of geographical China. It is also why (and 'now') Tibet became (politically) part of China. Why Did Democratic Reform Take Place in Tibet in 1959? YOUNGER BROTHER OF THE DALAI LAMA: “WHEN THE 14TH DALAI LAMA IS GONE, WE ARE DONE!” INTERNAL DIVISIONS IN THE DALAI CLIQUE INTENSIFY TIBET: YOUNG COMMUNIST LEAGUE REACHES 160,000 MEMBERS WITH 6.700 ORGANISATIONS! (2012) Adapting to Socialist Society: Right Action - and the Development of Tibetan Buddhism When Serfs Stood Up in Tibet - Anna Louis Strong THE BRUTALITY AND BARBARISM OF FEUDAL TIBET (PRE-1949) BOOK REVIEW: EXPOSING ‘YOUNGHUSBAND’ BY PATRICK FRENCH (2022) Indeed, so unruly were the Tibetans in Southwest China under the 13th Dalai Lama (attacking and killing Westerners - as well as Chinese and Tibetan converts to Christianity whilst also destroying their Churches, etc) - that the new (post-1911) 'Nationalist' government gave-in to Western imperialist pressure and sent a substantial (punitive) field army (under the Command of one 'General Li') into the area only - to be diverted by the efforts of (Han) Chinese Buddhist Master Xu Yun (1840-1859) - who met with General Li and persuaded him to use peaceful means in quelling the Tibetan unrest. Note that this issue had nothing to do with geographical Tibet - which even then was considered 'remote', difficult to 'access' and culturally 'primitive' by comparison. However, although the British invaded Tibet a number of times during the late 1800s and early 1900s), the West in principle had no objection geographical Tibet being part of political China whilst under the political control of the Western-friendly Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) and the Western-friendly and Christian-friendly Nationalist Administration (1911-1949). The CIA-generated myth of 'Tibetan Independence' probably dates to the late 1950s - even though the 14th Dalai Lama was an ally of Nazi Germany both before and during WWII - continuing to grant asylum to Nazi War Criminals into the late 1950s, etc. Just as the Qing and Nationalist governments maintained a sophisticated political administrative network throughout geographical Tibet and the Tibetan diaspora living within Southwest China, it logically follows that there existed (at different times - centred in different places) numerous 'mirroring' branches of the 'Communist Party of China' (CPC) which were kept secret for security reasons, but which were often found-out and/or betrayed by bourgeois or imperialist spies and ultimately 'liquidated' from time to time. All we have left is a few very old Red Flags, and perhaps one or two 'written' reports in the National Archives of China. A similar situation exists with the Communist Party branch that once thrived in Taiwan - although it is 'illegal' today with all vestiges of it destroyed by orders of the occupying Japanese (1895-1945) and subsequently the Americans (1945-present)! We have included a link above to the work of US journalist - Anna Louis Strong - who witnessed first-hand the time periods you are interested in - namely before, during and after the peaceful (and by all accounts 'enthusiastic') Liberation of Tibet (c. 1959)! Best Wishes BMA (UK) Admin The BBC is an arrogant ‘White’ (Bourgeois) institution that has the working-class forcibly ‘pay’ for its own anti-Socialist indoctrination! This is a very Hitlerite arrangement which contributes to the further enrichment of the ruling classes – and the impoverishment of the ordinary toiling masses! Since the rise of the British Tories in 2010, the BBC has abandoned any pretence of being genuinely ‘British’ and of being ‘accurate’ and ‘truthful’. What the BBC broadcasts today is settled and authorised in a smoke-filled room somewhere deep in the labyrinth that is the (Washington DC) White House! Thailand, on the other hand, whilst undoubtedly being a bastion for the genuine Theravada Dhamma, is nevertheless a US-dominated ‘capitalist’ cesspit! People routinely die of starvation, medical neglect and Islamo-fascist terrorism (ironically also funded by the US), whilst ‘White’ American ‘males’ (amongst other such perverts) continuously travel to the country to pay impoverished Thai parents for the privilege of ‘raping’ their children – often paying a few dollars more for permission to film the same defiled children being ‘murdered’ in Snuff Movies! It is odd then, that the Prime Minister of Thailand should announce a crackdown upon ‘drug-taking’ throughout the country, an activity that is only really practiced by the better-off section of the Thai Bourgeoisie. The Buddha-Dhamma explicitly forbids any form of ‘intoxication’, including the imbuing of mind-altering or sense-numbing substances – outside of legitimate pharmaceuticals that cure or diminish the ‘pain’ of illness and injury. Whereas the Thai people desperately need a Socialist Revolution – the US dominance ruthlessly maintains this decrepit status quo when many Buddhist teachers clearly state that the Buddha’s philosophy supports all aspects and elements of Socialist ideology (a point clearly demonstrated in countries such as Myanmar, Laos, Vietnam, North Korea, China and perhaps even Bangladesh and Pakistan, etc). The message is clear – Buddhist philosophy definitely denies and forbids any and all forms of drug imbibing designed as leisure activities. Of course, as the BBC pursues a pro-Christian (and very ‘White’) agenda – nothing is mentioned about this Buddhist ‘anti-drug’ attitude – particularly as the Protestant and Catholic Churches produces, hides and protects its own homegrown ‘paedophiles’ priests and monks, many of whom may well prey upon innocent (but impoverished) Thai children. The BBC – on its so-called ‘World Service’ (surely a sick joke) - recently put-out the misrepresented story that a Buddhist Temple was ‘shut-down’ due to an epidemic of ‘drug-taking’ in an area of Northern Thailand! This is fake in as much as it not factually correct. The drug-taking problem has been found not amongst the ordinary people (who cannot afford enough food to stay alive), but rather primarily amongst the office workers and those other bourgeoisie who possess a disposable income. Out of all the hundreds of Buddhist (monastic) populations tested throughout Thailand so far – only one (single) Buddhist Temple was found to possess individuals who tested ‘positive’. The BBC presented this fact so as to (falsely) suggest that ALL Buddhist Temples in Thailand are overrun with a tremendous drug-taking problem – and that ‘Buddhism’ is failing the Thai population! In fact, the temple concerned remains ‘unnamed’ but contains thirty-eight ordained (male) Buddhist monastics. Out of these, only one (male) lay-helper and just six Buddhist monastics were found to test ‘positive’ for ‘methamphetamine’. One such monk was aged over 70-years old and had been a Buddhist monk for just five-years. He said that the vast majority of monks NEVER take any drugs and that he would occasionally ask a local child to procure the substance for him (misusing his Sangha Authority). Of course, the BBC decided to omit the reality that thirty-two of the Buddhist monks had NOT tested positive for any drugs in this temple – and that this ‘negative’ pattern was repeated across Thailand as the testing unfolded! After these monks had been formally interviewed by the Head Monk – they were then arrested, charged and transitioned to a special State-funded clinic designed for treating drug-addiction (an act met with general ‘applause’ in the West – but had such action been taken in China or the DPRK – all the BBC would have broadcast is anti-Socialist propaganda). I suspect that this monkish misbehaviour constitutes a ‘Minor’ infringement of the Vinaya Discipline Rules and should not, in and of itself, justify an ‘expulsion’ from the Ordained Sangha. Again, there is no information from the BBC on the realities of everyday Buddhist culture – such is its racism. After condemning the very fabric of all Buddhist culture – the BBC finished with a pro-American flourish expressing the most sublime ‘anti-intellectualism’ - falsely claiming that Myanmar (Burma) as a friend of China, mass manufactures and exports ‘methamphetamine’ across the world (including ‘to Thailand’), aided and abetted in this dastardly and nefarious task by Socialist Laos! Laos is a developing ‘Socialist’ country with a very strong Buddhist Sangha and equally good relations with China! Western institutions such as the BBC are Past Masters in ‘lying’ and expertly mixing ‘fact’ with ‘fiction’ so that it is difficult to tell the two entities apart! None of the Thai language sources support the BBC narrative upon this subject. Indeed, the manipulation of the truth and the upholding of US anti-intellectualism are the primary objectives of the (White) racist BBC. Nothing the BBC says should or can be trusted! Thai Buddhism, despite the decisions of its greedy politicians and deluded Royal family, retains one of the purest Buddhist Sanghas in the world – which is NOT over-run with drug-taking! Do not trust the BBC in any way – and let us all join Russia in fighting the Western-backed Neo-Nazism in the despicable Zelensky-led Ukraine!

Dear Gillian
They tell Mr Moonie is God... S Korean forces killed more than Japanese killed in 36 years A completely random find in English! In China the Korean War is called the 'US War of Aggression in Korea' - whilst North Korea (a close ally of China) excludes all mention of Chinese involvement in the conflict! The US encouraged the Koreans that had fought for Japan during WWII (Korea had been a Japanese colony since 1910) to form a 'new' anti-leftist (a deliberately 'vague' definition at the time) military force that eventually murdered hundreds of thousands of South Koreans prior to (and during) the Korean War (1950-1953). I live near to New Malden - which is the only place outside of the US that South Koreans are allowed to migrate (temporarily) to - for work in the Korean car industry. The children of South Korean people go to school with my children - and over the years we have heard the stories of South Korean oppression. This is why British born Koreans often refuse to go back to South Korea - because life there is terrible in that country! The US has complained about this phenomenon but the Tories (who possessed no qualms deporting 500,000 Chinese Nationals from the UK during Covid-19 on the spurious grounds that 'Chinese people spread disease') will not deport non-White (Korean) children born here - although this attitude of strictly adhering to the law does not apply to ethnic Muslims born in the UK - the US lawyers astutely counter. If anything, this demonstrates the flexible nature of British racism! If you have read this far, this is not even the worst of it - as I was researching the (November) 2021 case of a 60-year old South Korean Buddhist monk who apparently possessed the strength to beat to death a local layman (with a stick) who came to the temple to complain about the noise of the morning prayers (a deliberate act designed to produce the maximum loss of face and the greatest offence)! This has something to do with the US missionary work in South Korea which seeks to wipe out Buddhism by 2050 (New Malden is saturated with 'Korean Only' Churches all positioned along the Main Road leading to Worcester Park). When reporting this case in English the US directed racism presents the Buddhist monk as a typical Asian madman because his lawyers claimed 'Self-Defence' in Court - but does not give the historical or socio-economic context. The English language South Korean press acts as if it is writing for a 'White' US audience rather than the ethnic Koreans the news is about - a clear demonstration of the essence of White colonialism. The layman in question, or so I have discovered in non-English language sources, was a 'Christian' deliberately sent to the temple to cause trouble. I say 'Christian' in the broad sense as he was a 'Moonie'. The Buddhist monk was expelled from the Sangha [correct action in accordance with the Vinaya Discipline he violated by allowing a 'hateful' thought to a) form in his mind, and b) 'manifest' as violent behavioural actions in the body and through the environment which led to c) the taking of a life] and tried as a layman. He was found 'Guilty' of murder and sentenced to twenty-years in prison. He is quoted as saying: 'The irony is that I used to sit in a cell and meditate voluntarily - now I have to sit in a cell and meditate involuntarily - it is just a matter of moving my meditation cushion.' The South Korean 'Christian' community issued a joint message condemning the ex-monk and praising the Court - stating that: 'This situation demonstrates the 'heathen' nature of Buddhism and fully justifies the US attitude and policy toward Korean Buddhism, which has proven historically untrustworthy in opposing the enemies of the US in the past and has often served as a hotbed of 'Socialistic' attitudes and other types of similar evils!' The stuff of soap operas, indeed! Thanks Adrian By Yang Chengchen LHASA, March 27, 2022 (CNS) -- March 28 is the 63rd anniversary of the liberation of millions of serfs in Tibet. The book "When Serfs Stood up in Tibet" was written by American writer Anna Louis Strong in 1965 and is still one of the best books for anyone to understand the history of Tibet’s democratic reform.
In 12 chapters, Strong makes an important observation about Tibet, the snowy plateau, as part of the foreign press in 1959, when the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) suppressed a rebellion seeking to overturn democratic reform. In the preface of its English version, Israel Epstein, the Polish-born journalist, commented that Strong’s narration was “close to the facts” and her "approach and the actual development of reality are in harmony." The book’s perspective is still valuable today 60 years after Tibetan serfs were emancipated. However, the description of Tibet has been distorted more or less from reality by some western media, converting Tibet into an imaginary and idealized place that never existed. Uncritical thinking, lazy reporting, and even deliberate misreading of Tibet are still prevalent in Western media sources. These are arm-chair writers who hold the view that Tibet is the one that exists only in their imagination, refusing to recognize or willing to admit "actual development" in the real Tibet. Since the 1990s, with the development of criticizing Orientalism, post-colonialism, and cultural hegemony, the impression of Tibet under the influence of the western context has aroused extensive reflection. People should realize that the so-called spiritual Tibet, like Shangri La, does not exist. This land, which was in the grip of the feudal serfdom for thousands of years, was never a spiritual land for most of its people. Exploitation, oppression and material concerns could be frequently witnessed here in the old society. The title "When Serfs Stood up in Tibet" was true for the vast majority of people in Tibet in 1959. According to Strong’s personal observations, Tibet was undergoing a dramatic reform, which rejuvenated this snowy plateau. The author witnessed youth coming back to the land, which had been unchanging for hundreds of years by the feudal serfdom. At that time a new vision was shared among the people, the fate of the land was in their own hands and a democratic Tibet was being built. In fact, this vision has largely been realized by the people of all the various ethnic groups in today’s Tibet. The people on this snowy plateau can see all of the possibilities, which are now revealed in the full development of the unique, mysterious, and rich Tibetan culture. Just a casual investigation into the history of Tibet would reveal that primitive feudalism controlled the land until the middle of the last century. Serf owners in Tibet, who accounted for less than 5% of the population, possessed all cultural and educational resources and monopolized material and spiritual wealth due to their control of political and religious power. Women, even of the upper class, and monks who were in charge of important temples such as Jokhang Temple, in Lhasa, were deprived of the right to education, and were not allowed to read newspapers or any modern books. The vitality of Tibet, which had been suppressed by this antiquated social system, found new life in this land due to socialistic democratic reform. Today, a new inclusive cultural system has been established in Tibet, with new shared wealth created with a value of more than 6 billion yuan. The illiteracy rate in the old Tibet was as high as 95%. After the establishment of a modern educational system, ordinary people can enjoy 15 years of free public education, and the average length of education has been increased to 13.1 years. To over romanticize, even "exoticize", Tibet and Tibetan Buddhism will not help anyone to understand Tibet or its place in the larger Chinese national community. "To build a paradise on the roof of the world" was a slogan hung on the streets of Tibet in 1959. At the time, the 10th Panchen Erdeni Lama, Chökyi Gyaltsen, told the press, which included Strong, "the Tibetan people are walking towards happiness from now on". Today, 63 years later, the actual development of Tibet demonstrates the truth in these words. The Chinese government is sparing no effort in continuously improving the roof of the world, which can be witnessed and welcomed by all people. A better Tibet belongs to China and the world. The suffering this man unleashed upon humanity has been intense, ongoing and ever-increasing! Like Khrushchev before him, he was an arch 'Trotskyite' who manoeuvred his way into the position of 'General Secretary' of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union - and was even 'President' of the Soviet Union between 1990-1991 - whilst he oversaw the final destruction of the then 74-year-old Workers' State! The US, UK and EU flooded the post-Soviet space with perpetuators of religious extremism, fascism and free market economics - a process which has saw ‘minority’ Neo-Nazi (and Neo-Fascist) fringe groups brought to mainstream power in the Ukraine, Poland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, etc! Although modern Russia is now a poverty-stricken, capitalist country suffering from the fascistic-leanings associated with Pan-Slavism, the Russian State has at least seen fit to unleash its military (the successor to the Soviet Red Army) upon its Ukrainian neighbours to combat the Neo-Nazi ‘Euro-Maidan’ regime which was illegally brought to power in 2014 by the US Obama Administration! The Americans have chosen Neo-Nazism as its primary foreign policy tool as it remains staunchly ‘anti-Russian’ in both its early anti-Bolshevik ‘Mein Kampf’ phase – and in its later post-1945 ‘Soviet crushing’ of Nazi Germany phase! This despicable fascist regime has subsequently been further armed, financed and politically supported by the US, UK and EU – with its military being primed for a major push into the territory of West Russia (advancing the cause of ‘NATO’ in the process)! In reaction, the people of the Crimea voted to leave the Ukraine and join Russia – whilst a number of left-leaning ‘Republics’ were declared throughout East Ukraine – all stating their secession from the Ukraine, their self-determination and their eventual intention of merging with Russia! Although the Ukrainian Neo-Nazi ‘Nationalist’ Battalions were used to ruthlessly destroy a number of these ‘Republics’ - two managed to hold-out for the full eight-years – namely Lugansk and Donetsk in the Donbass region. A UN Report states that between 2014-2022 the Ukrainian Neo-Nazi ‘Nationalist’ Battalions killed between 10,000-15,000 men, women and children in the breakaway region, maiming a further 50,000 people! As a consequence, the military actions of Russia are entirely legal - as Russia is coming to the aid of a population that has declared its ‘independence’ and which has ‘requested’ such assistance! Of course, it is ironic that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are also the successors of the Soviet Red Army, and that the Ukraine is the area that suffered the most during Nazi Germany’s invasion of the USSR between 1941-1945 (killing around 41 million Soviet citizens). Indeed, the USSR took care to build as many defensive areas as possible throughout the Ukraine without openly effecting the quality of life for the local population, in an effort to ‘protect’ the population of the USSR from the threat posed by a NATO ground and air assault! Today, whilst the Neo-Nazi Ukrainians flaunt their Swastikas and their unbridled Western support – Russia abounds with working-class dereliction, racism, religious extremism and religious stupidity, homophobia and an intellectual and cultural poverty that has taken just 31-years to instil into their minds and bodies! Russian people in general are as ‘nationalistic’ as the Ukrainians they are fighting, and the Donbass inhabitants they are liberating! This fact underlies the power of the betrayal that the man pictured at the top of this article unleashed on the people of the USSR! A people that just 31-years ago viewed themselves as being ‘united’ and part of the ‘International Working Class’ - now view themselves as a ‘separate’ and ‘distinct’ (superior ‘Slavic’) race which hates all non-Russians and views the political left-wing of Europe and America (a political left-wing the USSR helped to nurture and grow throughout the 20th century) as being some type of ‘liberal’ conspiracy designed to import homosexuality (which modern Russians incorrectly associate with paedophilia) into Russia as a means to deprive Russia of its natural manliness! All this bourgeoise greed, hatred and delusion had been educated out of the minds and bodies of the citizens of the USSR through their Soviet (Marxist-Leninist) education – but in just 31-years of the bourgeoisie throughout the post-Soviet space taking back control of the means of production – nationalism, racism, hatred and discrimination are the new norms! The capitalist West may criticise the war between Russia and the Ukraine – but behind the scenes the Western leaders will be happy! The capitalist division of labour is nothing less than the division of the working class! When groups of limited self-interest form that possess no underlying and unifying base – then conflict and competitiveness are the inevitable result! When the working class is divided and fighting itself for the petty control of land – then it is too busy to ‘unite’ and form ‘Socialist’ groups that could effectively challenge the status quo! Surely, this is the greatest achievement of the man pictured at the top of this article – who lived just long enough after the collapse of the Soviet Union he engineered to see its constituent people start the processes of killing one another!
This film reminded me of Logan’s Run, the Matrix and Gattaca (with undertones of Minority Report), Filming occurred between October and December, 2000, and was completed well before the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center during September, 2001. However, the finished film was not released until 2002 and in the post-911 war-mongering climate in the US – was a monumental cinema and financial failure. Perhaps the central theme of ordinary people rising-up against an oppressive regime did not go down too well with the Bush Administration as it was priming the American population to mindlessly follow its orders to (illegally) invade Afghanistan (and Iraq) in retaliation for 911 – without either country having anything to do with the terrorist attack itself. It is stated that Berlin was chosen for its fascistic architecture – and areas of run-down East Germany – with the produces careful not to mention that the former ‘Socialist’ East German State was ‘devastated’ with the re-introduction of predatory capitalism and that in just ten years, large areas became economically run-down and inundated with neo-Nazi movements whilst being abandoned by the unified ‘German’ State - bereft of financial aid and vital resources, etc. In other words, it was the predatory capitalism of the US that destroyed the infrastructure of East Germany – and not (Marxist-Leninist) ‘Socialism’ that had over-thrown Nazism and carefully re-built the country in the wake of Hitler’s death in 1945! Of course, the ‘Ministry of State Security’ or ‘Stasi’ (1950-19990) was responsible law and order and (from 1952) intelligence and counter-intelligence – for the State of the German Democratic Republic (GDR). Its main tasks were to guard the German people from infiltration by US predatory capitalism – and arrest, try and imprison any East German nationals still holding ‘Nazi’ viewpoints. The US packaged this move as a human rights violation and started various media campaigns to have these people released. With the collapse of East Germany in 1999, all these former Nazis were released to great fanfare – and they immediately set about exercising their newly found ‘capitalist’ freedom by re-establishing a vast network of neo-Nazi organisations that still exist and function today! This is the background to the ‘decrepit’ areas the producers of this film claim they used in the former East Germany.
Furthermore, the producers feature images of Joseph Stalin – the ‘elected’ General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union – and Saddam Hussein. The former fought Hitler’s fascism to protect the West with the Soviet Union losing around 41 million men, women and children, whilst Saddam Hussein was to be blamed by the Bush Administration (falsely) for being behind 911! An odd choice for so-called ‘deficient’ leaders as both were victims of the capitalist system! The producers also churn-out footage of the 1989 ‘Tiananmen Square’ Incident in China which was revealed in 2011 as a media hoax by Wikileaks - perpetuated by the US and UK media during a time before the internet and when very few people possessed the ability to verify at source what they were being told to ‘think’ by their respective governments! Although many suggest this film is a re-hash of Orwell’s 1984, the situation is a little more complex. George Orwell, as a Trotskyite, was tasked by the UK government to agitate against the Soviet Union through the medium of literature. Orwell’s books are not very well written, but they exist in virtually every school throughout the Western (capitalist) world! His books entitled ‘1984’, and Animal Farm’ are designed to psychologically ‘inoculate’ the minds of young children born within the capitalist system against forming any thoughts in support of ‘Socialism.’ As Orwell recognises the urge toward ‘creativity’ the only distraction his fiction allows is a dalliance with Trotskyism which serves the purpose of directing the individuals straight back into the arms of predatory capitalism! In this regard, Orwell’s misleading and poorly written works serve a similar purpose to the drug ‘Prozium’ found in this film. Whereas Orwell’s work ‘suppresses’ any thoughts in support of ‘Socialism’ - ‘Prozium II’ is a drug administered to all citizens of Libria which is used to ‘suppress’ all ‘emotion.’ The point of this is that the Council which runs Libria has decided that ‘feeling emotion’ is the reason humanity ‘goes to war’, and therefore if ‘emotion’ is stopped – all ‘war’ will cease (as does ‘resistance’ to authority). Orwell suppresses ‘Socialism’ (thus allowing the capitalist system to function normally – which includes raging war), whilst ‘Prozium’ allows for a society to function ‘free’ of warfare although under a totalitarian government (capitalism in decline). As religion is linked to ‘faith’, and given that ‘faith’ is premised upon ‘emotion’ - in an emotionless society, there is no need or inclination for religion to exist. Instead, secular ‘Clerics’ are trained to defend the State against anyone who ‘feels’ emotion. To do this they become expert in advanced martial arts – both armed and unarmed – and are empowered to be judge, jury and executioner. Their job is to destroy anyone who ‘feels’ and eradicate any material signs of culture produce by ‘feeling’ individuals. Every citizen is obligated to take their dose of ‘Prozium’ every day so as to prevent any feelings developing. Not to do this constitutes a ‘sense crime’ which is punishable by immediate death. Prozium creates an ‘unfeeling’ society that lives in the ‘eternal moment,’ That is to say, all citizens of Libria physically exist in the existential moment. This sounds very similar to the Japanese Zen ideology developed in Japan post 1868 (following the Meiji Restoration), which developed to its peak during the 1930s. This was a fascistic distortion of Chinese Ch’an that sort to ‘eradicate’ all human feeling and create a population that only lives in the present moment and possessed no moral qualms in ‘killing’ anyone who opposes the will of the State. To do this, the Japanese State had to ‘abandon’ all Buddhist morality and ethical behaviour and the Buddhist Establishment had to conform. This created an appreciation of the present moment that forgets the past and has no thought of the future whilst being completely ‘amoral’ due to its lack of contextualising emotion. This type of Japanese Zen conditioned millions of Japanese people to mindlessly obey a hierarchical government and kill anyone who opposed its objectives. Not only this, but after WWII, many so-called Japanese Zen masters then transmitted this type of ‘amoral’ Zen to the West where it has become known as ‘International Zen’, even though this type of thinking has been abandoned by most ethnic Japanese people who have reverted back to a more civilised and humane type of Buddhist practice. Clerics in Librium act very much like the Samurai of ancient Japan and the Kempeitai, of fascist Imperial Japan – as they are empowered to kill anyone who deviates from the accepted norms of society. To achieve this the Clerics have developed a deadly ‘Gun Kata’ - which is a set of movements using fire-arms which has been mathematically calculated to kill as many people in the shortest space of time, in such an efficient manner that exposes the Cleric to the least damage. |
