Inside Afghanistan in 2025 (video)

Inside Afghanistan in 2025 (the world's most dangerous country)

(Matt and Julia) Summer, 2025: AFGHANISTAN, Central Asia. Afghanistan, a country we have all heard of for all the wrong reasons.

For the first time in over 40 years, formerly Buddhist Afghanistan is at peace (particularly in holy Bamiyan). However, under Taliban rule, it remains highly controversial, with human rights, especially of women, being eroded every day.

We decided to solo travel to Taliban-controlled Afghanistan in 2025 to try understand what life is really like inside a country we all hear so much about on the news but often understand so little of. #Afghanistan

(Matt and Julia) An American and other Westerners in Central Asia

Afghanistan is a nation with a rich culture, history, and heritage. It is a proud country that has defeated every empire that passed through its land, from the Brits (English) to the Soviets (Russians), to the Yanks (Americans) [and soon the Chinese]. But what is life really like right now?

Join us as we travel solo overland from Pakistan, towards Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan, and try to understand more about this flawed and often misunderstood sovereign state. Welcome to Afghanistan and daily life under Taliban control.

20 Indigenous/Native American sayings

You can lead a horse to water, but keep it clean.

Is timeless wisdom (prajna) limited to the historical Buddha? There are, in fact, many sources of profound insight and knowledge, much of it coming from this occupied land of the settler colonial project we call the USA. The Indigenous inhabitants kept harmony and balance for more than 10,000 years, and we would do well to learn their lessons of sustainability and preservation. Many Buddhist sayings are collected in the Dhammapada.

India should reclaim Buddhism to build power

The Dhammapada is the best known and most widely esteemed text in the Pali language collection, the sacred scriptures of Theravada Buddhism. The work is included in the Minor Collection of the Sutra Basket, but its popularity has raised it far above the place it occupies in the texts to the ranks of a world religious classic. Composed in the ancient Pali language spoken by the Buddha, this slim anthology of verses constitutes a perfect compendium of the Buddha's teaching, comprising between its covers all the essential principles elaborated at length in the 40-odd volumes of the Pali canon. According to the Theravada Buddhist tradition, each verse in the Dhammapada was originally spoken by the Buddha in response to a particular event or episode. Accounts of these, along with an explanation of the verses, are preserved in the classic commentary to the work, compiled by the great Buddhaghosa in the fifth century C.E. on the basis or material going back to much more ancient times. The contents of the verses, however, transcend the limited and particular circumstances of their origin, reaching out through the ages to various types of people in all the diverse situations of life

• The Dhammapada: The Buddha's Path of Wisdom

1. "We do not inherit the Earth from our ancestors; we borrow it from our children."

This saying or proverb emphasizes the importance of stewardship for [seven] future generations. It calls us to consider the legacy we leave behind [when we leave off using this planet and its resources].

Living with this mindset encourages sustainable practices and a deep respect for nature. Reflecting on this, one might find inspiration to make conscious choices that protect the environment. It’s a reminder that our actions today will shape the world of tomorrow, urging us to be mindful custodians of our planet.

(Indigenous police have no right to arrest non-Navajos who commit crimes)

2. “All things are connected. Whatever befalls the Earth, befalls the children of the Earth.”

This proverb or traditional saying highlights the interconnectedness of all life on Earth. It teaches that every action has a ripple effect, influencing the broader ecosystem.

Understanding this connection fosters empathy and mindfulness, urging us to live in harmony with nature. It reminds us that our well-being is tied to the health of the planet.

Embracing this wisdom can guide us to make decisions that support ecological balance, promoting a sustainable future for ourselves and [seven] future generations.

Mountain discovery on Silk Road (video)

Uncovering a lost mountain metropolis

(nature video) Oct. 23, 2024: An isolated plateau in the highlands of southeastern Uzbekistan in Central Asia looks like an expanse of rolling hills. But look closer and a shard of pottery or the stony remnant of an ancient wall might hint at an archeological secret hidden for hundreds of years. Now a team of archeologists have used drone-mounted LiDAR to virtually peel back the layers of sediment and vegetation. Revealing two ancient cities, much larger than previously imagined, built 2,000 meters above sea level. The finding of these urban centers, called Tashbulak and Tugunbulak, at such high altitudes, may mean that highland areas may have played a more important role in medieval trade than previously thought.

Asia (the East) connected with the Roman Empire (the West) for centuries through the Silk Road

A mountaintop discovery is changing everything we knew about the Silk Road

• A new LiDAR survey of previously discovered Silk Road sites reveals a more sprawling urban history than first imagined.
• An aerial survey of the Tashbulak and Tugunbulak sites in Uzbekistan, Central Adia, uncovered more than 300 medieval archeological features, suggesting a robust urban community.
• The Silk Road or Route — which existed from 114 B.C. to 1450 A.D. — was a vital and expansive trade route that connected the Eastern and Western worlds.

A new survey of two archeological sites along the Silk Road has unveiled a stunning new discovery that rewrites our understanding of the famed Eurasian (Europe-Asia) trade route that spanned continents and centuries.

Monk meditates on Silk Road (en.unesco.org)

As reported in Newsweek, a new aerial survey of Tashbulak and Tugunbulak — two archeological sites roughly three miles apart in the Uzbekistan mountains — utilized LiDAR (a remote sensing technology that uses laser pulses to penetrate obstacles and create 3D images of a landscape) to reveal more than 300 medieval archeological features.

• [Buddhism in Central Asia was prevalent along the Silk Road. Its history there is closely related to the Silk Road transmission of Buddhism during the first millennium of the common era. It has been argued that the spread of Indian culture and religions, especially Buddhism, as far as Sogdia, corresponded to the rule of the Kidarites over the regions from Sogdia to Gandhara [4]. Islam invaded and displaced Buddhism. Uzbekistan [5] and Kazakhstan [6] have the most Buddhists, largely practiced by their Koryo-saram minority, although the former has the lowest percentage of Buddhists. Due to historical Tibetan, Mongol, and Manchurian influence, Kyrgyzstan [7] has the highest percentage of Buddhists in Central Asia. More]

Empires of the Silk Road (C. I. Beckwith)

The two sites, which were discovered in 2011 and 2015, are located 6,562 to 7,218 feet above sea level. At that elevation, the land was unlikely to have supported large-scale urban development at the time, given the difficulties posed to construction and agriculture.

But this new survey — the results of which were published in Nature — indicates that that’s exactly what occurred at Tashbulak and Tugunbulak.

“The LiDAR results indicate that the scale of urbanization in this area was much more expansive than previously known,” Brown University researcher Zachary Silvia told Newsweek.

Silvia, while not involved directly in the study, has published a News & Views article for Nature about the results and singled out the significance of this revelation

 “This is the first — and probably only — ancient or medieval city located at this elevation in Central Asia, which forces us to reconsider what we know about urbanization in the area.”

Among the structures discovered by the study’s LiDAR flights were “watchtowers connected with walls along a ridgeline, evidence of terracing, and a central fortress surrounded by walls made of stone and mud brick.”

The Silk Road (Valerie Hansen)

But while this survey revealed what structures were once present at Tashbulak and Tugunbulak, there are still more questions to be answered.

“Typically, remote sensing techniques are one tool within the broader tool kit of the archaeologist,” Silvia noted to Newsweek. “The next step for the team would be to confirm their findings through geophysics — techniques that ‘see’ below the surface — and targeted excavations that can confirm whether or not this is indeed such an extensive settlement. I am optimistic that this is precisely what the team will find in the coming years.” Source

What Trump knew about his lost election

What did Trump know about 2020 election results? (Democracy on Trial: Pt. 3)

(FRONTLINE Short Docs) What did former President Trump know about the 2020 election results and when did he know it? That was a central question for the Jan. 6 Select Committee.

Donald Trump lost and knew he lost (rense.com)

Watch Part 3 of “Democracy on Trial.” In it, published here as a series of short docs, FRONTLINE investigates the roots of the federal criminal case against ex-Pres. Donald Trump, stemming from his 2020 election loss.

The investigation traces the road to this unprecedented moment and examines the implications of the historic criminal case unfolding in the midst of a presidential election year.

Drawing on court documents and revelatory interviews with elected officials, former government lawyers, House Select Committee witnesses, and former committee staffers, authors, and journalists, “Democracy on Trial” reports that the work of the House Select Committee investigating the Jan. 6th Capitol attack provided the groundwork for special counsel Jack Smith’s indictment of Trump and may offer insights into how the trial unfolds.

A "confidence man is a "con man."

“Democracy on Trial” chronicles how the committee built its case against Trump and tried to prove his intent, how it chose to present its case to the American public, and criticisms of its work.

The documentary also examines how Trump has challenged the case. Trump has pleaded not guilty and made the legal argument, now being reviewed by an appellate court, that he has “absolute immunity” from prosecution for his actions while in office.

“Democracy on Trial” is a FRONTLINE production with the Kirk Documentary Group. The director is Michael Kirk. The producers are Michael Kirk, Mike Wiser, and Vanessa Fica. The writers are Michael Kirk and Mike Wiser. The reporters are Vanessa Fica and Brooke Nelson Alexander. The editor-in-chief and executive producer of FRONTLINE is Raney Aronson-Rath. #Documentary #DonaldTrump #January6 Subscribe on YouTube: bit.ly/1BycsJW ​Instagram: frontlinepbs​ Twitter: frontlinepbs​ Facebook: frontline.

Cashing in on genocide: House sales in Gaza

Where there's a Zionist, there's a profit motive

Israeli company Harey Zahav advertises Gaza "beachfront property" in a rare opportunity to buy land in the future state of "Israel," an opportunity made possible by Israel carpet bombing the Gaza Strip and killing more than 20,000 Palestinians and sending the rest into Egypt's Sinai Desert. It's a second Nakba, "Catastrophe," tantamount to an admission that Israel's prime motive for attacking, invading, and dispossessing Palestinians of Palestine was profit, a profit motive, because "war is a racket," as U.S. Col. Smedley Butler taught us.

Lost Mexican town is part of USA (BBC)

Crystal Quintero, CC Liu, Pfc. Sandoval (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly; BBC News, 2/19/23; Etsy

"Mesoamerica" is part of North America. The "Americas" are North, Central, and South.

Where are the Dreamers of DACA?

When will the "Mexican United States" (Estados Unidos Mexicanos) become part of the United States of America already? It has to happen, according to America's Prophet Sean David Morton, on account of demographics. The USA just doesn't have the birth rates to sustain a viable population. We're shrinking out of existence and out of our Social Security system.

Aztec warrior and volcano offering

The USA will meld with Mexico and Canada in an AU, akin to Europe's EU, an active trade partnership with the amero (like the euro) as the common currency. It's only a matter of time because demographics determine the world more than ideology.

When the powers-that-be want it, they'll hire a PR firm to get us all to agree and even to demand it. That's how the world works nowadays, and that's what will happen. Look how easy it is. It already happened to the small American town of Rio Rico ("Rich River") due to a private corporation's greed along the "Big River" (Rio Grande). The BBC reports:

The border town that "forgot" it was part of US

Perfect (Erika L. Sanchez)

(BBC News) In 1967, the residents of USA-Mexico border town Rio Rico discovered they weren't Mexicans but were actually legal American citizens. For years it was assumed Rio Rico was part of Mexico, because it lay south of the Rio Grande River that forms the US-Mexico border. During the Prohibition era (when Puritans tried to outlaw their favorite intoxicant which keeps the wheels of cold-hearted American-style capitalism rolling), the town became known as a place US citizens could cross over to freely drink alcohol and gamble and engage in other vices. However, prior to 1906, Rio Rico actually lay to the north of the river and was therefore American territory, according to a law that stated where the border was, dividing the two countries by a shifting river line of demarcation.

Afghanistan sitting on $3 trillion in minerals

Caspian Report, March 18, 2021; Amber Larson, Dhr. Seven (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

Buddhism is the religion of Afghanistan (Gandhara, Central Asia, the real Kapilavastu), where the Buddha was born and raised, after which he traveled east to Magadha, Bihar, and Varanasi/Benares (proto-India) to set the Wheel of the Dharma in motion. The Shakyas (Sakas) ordained in their country (maha-janapada) and became the Monks and Nuns of the Mines (National Geographic) in ancient Afghanistan.

(CaspianReport) Formerly Buddhist (ranajitpal.com) Afghanistan's mountains obstruct stability and prosperity. Conflict and tribalism have shaken the formerly Buddhist, British, Russian, USA/CIA, and future Chinese state to its core. Now, those same mountains may hold the answer to its misfortune. They are full of gold, copper, and rare earth minerals, the value of which fluctuates on the world market as demand increases due to electronics like iPhones and computers.

Wisdom Quarterly joins Afghan students near UCLA (at Federal Building on Wilshire Blvd. in support of Save Mes Aynak documentary makers years ago when China was about to demolish Mes Aynak to extract rare earth minerals. Then the world price dropped due to discover of such minerals on sea floor and price plummet.

Will the dispute between Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan be settled?

(Al Jazeera English) Inside Story, Sept. 18, 2022. More fighting has taken place between [the formerly Buddhist Central Asian 'stans of] Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan over border territory -- a dispute that goes back to the collapse of the Soviet Union/USSR in 1991.

Skirmishes that started a few days ago have killed and injured dozens of people. Both landlocked nations accuse each other of breaking a recent ceasefire. What's caused this latest round of fighting? 

(WION) ~100 reported dead in clashes between Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan.
