U Dhammaloka (Burmese ဦးဓမ္မလောက) lived from 1856–1914. He was an Irish-born migrant worker [1] who became a Theravada Buddhist monk.
He was a strong critic of Christian missionaries and a temperance campaigner who took an active role in the Asian Buddhist revival around the turn of the 20th century.
Venerable Dhammaloka (because "U," pronounced ooh, is not a name or initial but a Burmese honorific) was ordained in Burma prior to 1900, making him the earliest attested Western Buddhist monk in modern times.
He was a celebrity preacher, vigorous polemicist, and prolific editor in Burma and Singapore between 1900 and his conviction for sedition and appeal in 1910–1911.
Drawing on Western atheist (freethinking) writings, he publicly challenged the role of Christian missionaries and resisted attempts by the colonial government to charge him for sedition. More
British Empire entered and robbed the richest country/empire in the world, what is now called India. The British and their colonial rule extracted resources on a mass scale, impoverishing the richest country the world had ever know, enriching themselves and promoting racist white elitism and European commerce. The East India Company is much to blame, but the Crown took it over and bears the responsibility for crimes against humanity, war crimes, and theft beyond human comprehension. It did not only steal tangible resources, it stole mathematical ideas, first giving due credit to the original inventors of things like the concept of zero then misappropriating, taking credit, enlarging the reputations of white scholars, denigrating and finally erasing others. Many of the great Islamic/Muslim discoveries in math and architecture were also marginalized, erased, and absorbed into British and white European lore. Whites did it all. India, Africa, and the New World contributed nothing.

Reports are coming out that the IDF, Israel's state-sponsored terrorists, illegally interfered with the Global Sumud Flotilla in international water, kidnapping participants, detaining and torturing them, forcing Greta Thunberg to kiss an Israeli flag, which may as well be blood-soaked for the ongoing Nakba ("Catastrophe") and genocide it represents. Who will enforce international law to rein in criminal Israel?

MIT grad, groomed by CIA with his brother, lived in Chicago: 'Economic Consultant Ben Nitay'
(Kim Iversen) Israel did it. It's not the first time. Look at recent details confirmed about Zionist dancing in New York at the site of 9/11 attack. Might Tyler Robinson be a patsy (fall guy)? When he jumps off the roof in recently released footage, where's the big rifle and scope wrapped in towel that he hid in the woods? Now Zionist lawyer Ben "Bibi" Shapiro is the new "Charlie Kirk" on college campuses.
Charlie Kirk, 18, was the FACE of Turning Point USA, not its founder; the founder (Old Man Bill Montgomery) latched onto Kirk the way Lennon glommed on to McCartney
A plane took off from the area after the assassin expertly nicked Kirk's carotid artery in a single shot from an unknown distance. [The patsy's position is precisely known, no gun anywhere to be seen except planted in a "wooded area" as Robinson departs.] And it turned off its transponder ten minutes later. Sounds like the perfect getaway.
Netanyahu on a denial tour: It wasn't us (IDF) who killed Kirk to foment trouble in the US
This is the most powerful man in the world: Bibi
A Trump insider and longtime friend of Charlie Kirk tells The Grayzone how the assassinated conservative leader’s turning point on Israeli influence provoked a private backlash from Netanyahu’s allies that left him [Kirk] angry and afraid.
The source said anxiety spread within the Trump administration after an apparent Israeli spying operation was uncovered. Charlie Kirk rejected an offer earlier this year from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin "Bibi" Netanyahu to arrange a massive new infusion of Zionist money into his Turning Point USA (TPUSA) organization, America’s largest conservative youth association, according to a longtime friend of the slain commentator speaking on the condition of anonymity.
The source told The Grayzone that the late pro-Trump influencer [Kirk] believed Netanyahu was trying to cow him into silence as he began to publicly question Israel’s overwhelming influence in Washington [DC] and demanded more space to criticize it.
Accept the money from Bibi, Charlie. I did.
In the weeks leading up to his [Kirk's] September 10th assassination, Kirk had come to loathe the Israeli leader, regarding him as a “bully,” the source said.
Kirk was disgusted by what he witnessed inside the Trump administration, where Netanyahu sought to personally dictate the president’s personnel decisions, and weaponized Israeli assets like billionaire donor Miriam Adelson to keep the White House firmly under its thumb. More
In what world is MTG (Trump sycophant Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene) on the right side and Christian Zionist (or compromised or eager-for-access) Megyn Kelly on the wrong side of history? Who is the Neo-Nazi in this scenario?
The Kim Iversen Show reveals: Israeli Prime MinisterNaftali Bennett admits Jews [who started in what is now Iraq] did not originally come from Israel and, therefore, are not the "indigenous" people of the area, even though why this is exactly what they claim. Are Ashkenazi [European] Jews Khazar converts? How dare anyone make such a claim (Khazar hypothesis of Ashkenazi ancestry) after Israel and Jewish and Christian Zionists have worked so hard to squelch that theory, to the extent of making it illegal to take ancestry blood tests in modern Israel.

(Hindustan Times) Aug. 22, 2025: For the first time, famine has been officially declared in Gaza. A UN-backed food security monitor revealed that over half a million people are already starving, with the toll set to rise further. The IPC report described “starvation, destitution, and death” spreading across Gaza, as Israel intensified its new military campaign in Gaza City. UN Chief António Guterres made an urgent plea, warning of a man-made catastrophe. But Jewish Zionist Israel swiftly dismissed the findings as biased and flawed, releasing its own counter-report [saying everything is going just as planned]. #Gaza #Famine #Israel

Sorry to interrupt your feast, Bibi, but what about the Palestinians? - Let them eat shrapnel.

Vote Trump. See if I care. I have the CIA's help.
Genocide: Israeli tanks advanced farther into Rafah on Tuesday, according to witnesses, as the Israeli military (IDF) said it was expanding operations in the southern Gaza city amid growing international condemnation.
Its tanks passed near the Al-Awda mosque, a central Rafah landmark, Palestinians in the city told The Wall Street Journal
The Israeli military didn’t comment on the specifics of its violent push into Rafah, but Israel’s Army Radio said the military had added a brigade to the five operating in the city and troops were engaging in close-quarters combat with Palestinians it claims are part of "Hamas."
TARQUMIYAH, West Bank — Radical rightwing illegal Zionist Jewish Israeli "settlers" (occupiers) expanded their attacks on humanitarian aid trucks passing through the West Bank this month, blocking food from reaching the starving millions in Gaza as humanitarian groups warn that the enclave is sinking deeper into famine and disease. Groups of Naziesque "Netanyahu Youth" vandals are following relief convoys, setting up illegal checkpoints, and interrogating innocent drivers. In some cases, far-right attackers have ransacked and burned trucks and beaten Palestinian drivers, leaving at least two hospitalized while Israel's military looks on and blesses their activities.
Israel is trying to thread a needle by claiming that it's pursuing a fight with Hamas in Rafah without further damaging its relationship with the U.S. military, its closest ally, or derailing fragile relations with the Arab world [that it hopes to one day take over and rule as an arm of Europe under Ashkenazi Jewish rule].
An airstrike on Sunday in Rafah that Palestinian officials said killed dozens of civilians has demonstrated the inherent challenge that Israel faces. More

If there's one thing I know about my country, it's that we don't do good deeds unless there's something in it for us. We're war profiteers. Not us the citizens of the United States, but our government, our leaders, our military, Pentagon officials, CIA paper pushers in cubicles filling the world with propaganda and running operations of every description to make us the inheritors of Nazism's ideals, like deposing governments unfriendly to our side (with the audacity to uphold democratic principles like one person, one vote) while propping up dictators we like such as Netanyahu.COMMENTARY CONTINUED BELOW
US military completes temporary pier off Gaza; aid deliveries to begin within days
(ABC News) May 16, 2024: The U.S. military completed the installation of a temporary pier to facilitate the transportation of "humanitarian" aid into Gaza, Palestine, from the Mediterranean Sea [in spite of Israel's blockade, which in the past has seen the IDF fire on US flagged military boats], U.S. Central Command said.
Bibi, I got your back. - I know, Joe, I know.
Now the corporate mainstream media is doing a report that puts Israel, Israel's American-funded military, its corrupt and genocidal prime minister, and its Mossad (CIA) in a bad light? That's hard to believe.
"What's in it for us [the US]? It gives us both the carrot and the stick? We will both be able to fund this genocide with weapons to enrich US arms dealers AND we will be able to turn the food spigot on and off (use strategic humanitarian aid as a soft weapon) to stem the famine we and our partner Israel has been imposing on the Palestinians for the past 17 years?
(Prior to Israel's ethnic cleansing of Gaza, the terrorizing, murder, and forced relocation of civilians and the setting up of more and more illegal Jewish occupation sites in the West Bank, the "state" of Israel rationed the food allowed into the Gaza Strip. The strip is the largest open-air prison in the world. Israel made it so there were only enough calories to keep the oppressed population from dying of famine but so few calories they could not remain well -- under the distress and humiliation inflicted on them daily -- or grow and certainly not thrive or stay healthy.)
Ironically, calorie restriction is one of the few scientifically-proven longevity extenders.
Get back to the reservation. No one's listening
If Israel really wanted to exterminate the Natives more humanely, it would follow the USA's lead. Here, the US federal government starved American-Indians by feeding them ultra-processed food and other junk and surplus commodities it buys to manipulate demand and stabilize prices for the manufacturers, who are part of the donor class that accepts and demands corporate welfare from the people allowed to rule as elected politicians.
Rather than starve the Indians, the government overfed them by stating, in a purported act of goodwill, that federal money could only be used on supply a sound diet of the FDA's Four Food Groups.
We may as well have put a gun to their heads and injected them with white sugar, acrylamides, preservatives, chemical flavor enhancers, MSG, neurotoxins, and other carcinogens.
Does Israel bribe US politicians for support?
Since this diet was never proven to be anything but a giveaway cobbled together by lobbyists working for the greed of the corporations that make up its components: Big Agra demanding carbs, vegetables, and sugar-swollen fruit be the base of the Food Pyramid, that pus-filled allergenic dairy, eggs, slaughtered birds and livestock mammals (in generously contaminated flesh) for protein, and that sugars and sweets be added at the very top for dessert purposes.
No one in America was eating that way by their own sense. But at least one group was forced to endure it: Native Americans trapped on reservations.
HC: Just eat the damn food, it's fine.
So what did they do with (the dead food for the dead) their ration of bleached white flour? They mixed it with milk and took the toxic oil they were given to create an Indian staple now called "Frybread," which just happened to be delicious because it was full of addictive comfort chemicals like carcinogenic acrylamides, fast burning carbs (high glycemic), empty calories, and rancid oils.
Even if the plasticized vegetable oils had been properly extracted and stored, they would still be utterly ruined by the high temperature burning/cooking that reduced them to carcinogens in the frying process.
Well, what happened? Where have all the Indians gone? The way of the Palestinians. America's slow genocide of its indigenous peoples has succeeded, but it has done so by erasing them, addicting them to the SAD (Standard American Diet), destroying them from within and disappearing them by whitewashing them, imprisoning them, addicting them to drugs, driving them crazy, psychologizing them, medicating them, and incarcerating them.
Only American citizens trapped in the US prison system and US welfare recipients (who are limited in the use of food stamps to purchase the same FDA-approved items) get it as bad because these are the same things as are pumped into US concentration camps (aka Indian reservations).
No one fares worse than Indians, prisoners, and welfare recipients. In all three cases, no one is starving, but no one is more susceptible to malnourishment, obesity, diabetes, heart disease, cancer, osteoporosis, dementia, and all the "modern diseases" brought on by our for-profit food industry aided and abetted by our allopathic medical industry.
Is there anything for Israel to learn from this example? When asked, How could it get any worse? One idea was to allow EBT funds to be spent on fast food (junk food, sugar soda, sugary flavored drinks, burgers, fries, candy, and any other garbage) not fit for anyone one wants to survive in remain in good health. The medical field reaps the riches of our unenlightened self-interest.
Enlightened self-interest would mean taking care of how people eat so they wouldn't need the medical field to poison them back to health with overpriced pharmaceutical, radioactive, and surgical interventions and procedures. But the medical field isn't complaining.

So American Indians have become just like their oppressors, suffering all the same degenerative illnesses only more quickly and with worse outcomes: diminishing average lifespans and higher rates of addiction, cancer rates, morbidity and mortality rates in general.
Only no one can figure out why. "It's a darn mystery!" The US government couldn't possibly have known they were trying to kill the Indians and erase them.
And Israel can't possibly follow suit, using the same game plan the German Nazis borrowed from the US (eugenics, concentration camps/missions, Christian white supremacy, and other ideas for Dr. Mengele and Mr. Hitler to implement for the eradication of their "surplus" population of undesirables).
