Speed made me a maniacal madman like Trump
Pres. Don John Trump no longer snorts cocaine like he used to in his Epstein party days, now addicted to crushed Adderall (stimulant used for ADHD) that keeps him wired, wigged out, and as crazed as Pervitin-addicted Adolf Hitler, whose Nazi scientists invented pharmaceutical methamphetamine, and der furor's doctor got him addicted to it without the Fuhrer knowing what was happening to him until it was too late and he had the palsy shake and was paranoid and bombing every country he could. But rather than cleaning up, the Nazis gave it to German soldiers to keep them fighting in the fields until death:

Refuse the national ID card ("Real ID")

Big Brother is watching you (1984), using AI.
Real ID is an unconstitutional "National ID" that ends state and personal sovereignty. U.S. Senator Rand Paul has introduced the “Safeguarding Personal Information Act” (S.2769) to fully repeal Title II of the REAL ID Act. Contact local U.S. Representative and U.S. senator and ask them to support this bill. TAKE ACTION TODAY

US State Dept. official quits over Israel


"We [US officials] have lost ALL credibility": Hala Rharrit on quitting US State Dept. and ending complicity in Gaza
(Democracy Now!) Oct. 23, 2024: As human rights groups continue to point out Israel's war crimes, DN! speaks to the only U.S. diplomat to publicly resign from the Biden administration over its pro-genocide policy position.

DN! first spoke to Hala Rharrit when she resigned from the State Department in April, citing the illegal and deceptive nature of U.S. policy in the Middle East.

"We continue to willfully violate laws so that we surge U.S. military assistance to [war criminals in] Israel," she says after more than a year of Israel's war on Gaza.
Rharrit says she found the Biden administration immovable in its "counterproductive policy," which she believes has gravely harmed U.S. interests in the Middle East.

"We are going to feel the repercussions of that for years, decades, generations."

Earthquake slams into soaked Los Angeles

Marc Sternfield, KTLA via MSN, 2/9/24; Eds., Wisdom Quarterly

– An earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 4.6 rattled the Los Angeles area Friday afternoon, shaking buildings and rattling the nerves of millions of people across Southern California.

The quake, which struck at 1:47 pm, was centered roughly 6 miles west of Malibu in the Santa Monica Mountains at a depth of five and a half miles, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
A USGS shockwave map shows the quake was felt across much of Southern California, including Ventura, Riverside, Orange, and Santa Barbara counties.

The Los Angeles Fire Department activated its Earthquake Mode, which involves crews from all 106 fire stations surveying critical infrastructure, including freeway overpasses, apartment buildings, dams, power lines, and large areas of assembly, such as Dodger Stadium. The process is typically completed within an hour, LAFD said. Magnitude 4.6 earthquake rattles Southern California (msn.com)

OBIT: The dead monster Henry Kissinger

Kissinger: America's Most Controversial
U.S. genocidal Sec'y of State Henry Kissinger, who came from Nazi Germany as a teen, is dead at the age of 100. The former U.S. statesman served as national security adviser and secretary of state for Pres. Nixon and Pres. Ford at the height of the Cold War and wielded influence over U.S. foreign policy for decades afterward.
  • No one gave a better assessment and obituary for U.S. War Adviser Henry Kissinger than now deceased Anthony Bourdain. He is quoted in this Democracy Now! video.
His direct actions led to genocide, massacres, illegal bombings, coups, destabilizations, profits for corporate war profiteers, leaving a bloody legacy in Catholic Latin America, Buddhist Southeast Asia, and beyond.

100 years of monstrous advice to US
Security Adviser Kissinger began ruining the U.S. and sending us down a genocidal path since leaving Harvard for Washington, DC, which would only be about 75 years of monstrous advice. However bad he was, those who took his advice must also be held to account.

I'm not a monster. I'm a human animal.
Once out of office, Kissinger continued until his death to advise U.S. presidents and other top officials who celebrate him as a visionary diplomat.

Yale University historian Greg Grandin says those glowing obituaries only reveal “the moral bankruptcy of the [American] political establishment” that ignores how Kissinger’s actions may have led to the deaths of three or four million people across the planet.

WikiTorture: State Dept.-Pentagon dispute?




Is treatment of WikiLeaks suspect Bradley Manning fueling State Department-Pentagon dispute?
WASHINGTON D.C. (L.A. Times) - Public criticism by U.S. State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley about the treatment of an Army Pvt. Bradley Manning, suspected of giving classified material to WikiLeaks, has given rise to speculation about a rift between the State Department and the Pentagon over the handling of the prisoner.

SUMMARY: According to his lawyers, military officials are holding WikiLeaks suspect Bradley Manning in conditions tantamount to solitary confinement, and he is forced to stand at attention while naked. [Now he is forced to wear a special smock, shown here.] State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley [who was drummed out of his job for speaking out] says the treatment of Manning is "stupid," "ridiculous," and "counterproductive." But Pres. Obama says the Pentagon assures him it is appropriate. He did not bother to check himself or provide any oversight to those being accused of torturing Pfc. Manning. More>>

Buddhism by the Numbers


Buddhism so influenced the ancient world that even money felt the impact among the Greeks (see Greco Buddhism).

Buddhists around the world
Vipassana Foundation (thedhamma.ocm)

The number of Buddhists around the world is grossly under-estimated. The statistics found in nearly all encyclopedias and almanacs place the number of Buddhists at approximately 500 million. This figure completely ignores over one billion Chinese people who live in the People's Republic of China.

While China is officially "communist" (although many free market conditions are already in place), it does not keep records on religion statistics. Another problem is that many Western reference sources refuse to accept that a person can belong to more than one religion. In Asia it is quite common for one person to have two, three, or more religions. In China, it is extremely common for a family to have a shrine in their home with statues and icons from Taoism, Confucianism, and Buddhism.

Currently there are about 1.3 billion Chinese living in the People's Republic. Surveys (Gach-Alpha Books, U.S. State Dept. report on China, Global Center for the Study of Contemporary China, BBC News, China Daily, and a report by Christian missionaries in China) have found that about 8% to 91% identify Buddhism as one of their religions.

A percentage near the upper end of this estimate, or about 80%, works out to there being about 1.1 billion Chinese Buddhists. To ignore over one billion people as if they do not count is a terrible miscount and very misleading in the reporting of adherents. A Chinese Buddhist forum (bskk.com) currently has about 60,000 registered members and over 2 million posts, which is about double the amount of the largest English language Buddhist forum (which also has Chinese Buddhists participating in the discussions). But to be above reproach, a more conservative estimate is also shown (see below).

The following are links to studies that have analyzed or counted the number of Buddhists in China and the percentage found in their studies:
The counting of Buddhists in America is also a little problematic since the U.S. Census Bureau does not ask religious affiliation. There are studies that suggest the percentage of Buddhists in America is More>>
