Introduction: A Comment on Larry Johnson’s article about ‘the sad state of US based Russian Scholars I am posting a comment I made on Larry Johnson’s excellent website, www.sonar21.com, the sad state of US based Russian scholars. See it further down in this article. Academic Russophobes are a whole segment of the Academic and Think Tank Media Complex. https://sonar21.com/the-sad-state-of-us-based-russian-scholars/ Robert Conquest: Historian or MI6 Propagandist?

I’d Planned a 6 Week Trip Back to Russia I planned a 6 week trip to Russia from August 22, to September 30th, 2025 Two main reasons I thought I had an invitation to the International Buddhist Forum in the Buddhist province Kalmykia in Southern Russia. People there are mostly ethnic Mongolian, so they practice Tibetan Buddhism there, which in any case is closely related to Zen. Second, since I planned to go anyway, I thought to get my hernia operation done, which is supposed to be $700 ...| Bumble Buddhist

Time to Call Out the Perfidious Imperialist Powers Let’s state openly that these three organizations, the IAEA, the OPCW and the OSCE, are tools of the imperialist powers, exemplified especially by the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union countries, and their military arm, NATO. Call Things by Their True Name First of all, let’s call things by their true name. In recent years, the term ‘globalists’ has floated around. It seems to mean those who see things from a gl...| Bumble Buddhist
Today’s Problems: All Caused by the Baby Boomers? Some post baby boomer generation commentators have said that today’s wars are the result of the Baby Boomer generation. So I’d like to post number of songs and other items which I personally grew up with, and what happened to the singers. Bold Marauder by Richard Farina I understood this to be a harsh indictment of the US back in 1965. The singer, Richard Farina, had received death threats for his political activities, and died in a susp...| Bumble Buddhist
This blog post from November 2013 largely predicted the tragedy of Ukraine. The author shut down the website, due to pressure from ‘somebody’. Agency: Who’s Responsible? It’s kind of humorous how everybody familiar with the Ukraine conflict is asking who is responsible for an attack on Russia’s nuclear capable aircraft, an act that could easily precipitate a nuclear war. So I want to talk about Agency. Simply put, agency is the idea of the capacity to act. When I was first starti...| Bumble Buddhist
What I Learned at the Dacha May 9th is Victory Day in Russia. My friend Don Courter sent me to spend a couple of days at a Dacha, a country house outside of Moscow, built by a top ranking Soviet military aviation designer in the 1950’s. How important was this day? Here is the inimitable Pepe Escobar who sums it up: This was a special Anniversary, the 80th anniversary. Someone asked me, what did I learn at the Dacha?? Language is somewhat of a barrier, but with the use of a translation ...| Bumble Buddhist
Introduction What does the Ukraine war have to do with Zen? A Chinese Zen Poem, which we recite, is called the Song of the Jewel Mirror Awareness, which discusses the true nature of Reality. One of its key phrases is, “The meaning is not in the words, but it responds the inquiring impulse. Hence the title of my humble blog, Inquiry and Thinking. How can we understand the cause and solution to the Ukraine crisis? So maybe all those years of sweat and tears as a Zen student weren’t in vain....| Bumble Buddhist
Recent Encounters with Feelings of Foreboding Recently, a group of us were sharing thoughts, observations and feelings about the current world situation, which any normal person would recognize as a crisis. And a crisis that seems to be deepening. So it got me to thinking about two approaches to understanding and hopefully, finding a way out of the crisis. To this end, I referred to my earlier reading and inspiration of the German 19th Century philosopher, Friedrich Nietzsche, whose book, Bey...| Bumble Buddhist
