Devoted to win/win solutions to today's most pressing issues

Gregory Brundage - Abdul Rashid bin Abdullah
Publication Bibliography & Downloads

Picture
Pundits have debated whether writer Gregory Brundage pictured above is a) gawking stupidly at the hole in the ceiling of the Imin Minaret in Turpan or b) contemplating the divine. In fact he was thinking about lunch and the fact that it was about ten million degrees outside. In other words, a) is the correct answer. Nevertheless, it would be incorrect to assume he never contemplates the divine...
Please note: This writer would much prefer to write happy travel stories, as compared to rather serious works about war and aggression. Unfortunately the USA has promoted wars during all it's history except for 17 all-too-short years. Most recently President Trump started a public relations and economic war against China, and now President Biden intentionally provoked a proxy war against Russia with this most recent infamy standing a very real chance of ending civilization as we know it. Thus, I continue to write alternative news (alt-news).

“More than 13,000 people were killed in this conflict between 2014 and 2020, according to the UN.” It wasn't Russians killing them, but rather American backed ultra-nationalist and neo-Nazi fanatics. The facts strongly support the assertion President Putin did not start this war and appears to be trying to stop it. The short and long term consequences of that war continuing unabated are devastating for all involved. President Biden could stop it with a few phone calls but chooses not to. This article proves beyond any reasonable doubt the US war plan in Ukraine is: 1) filled with more holes than Swiss cheese, and 2) like all American wars since WWII - all about making money and has nothing to do with winning, while innocent Ukrainians and Russian soldiers are being killed and maimed for life to feed the coffers of Euro-American capitalists. The democrats, other war whores and presstitutes have shot themselves in the head with this one as will be proven at the ballot box next November, if we can delay WWIII that long.

US Promoting Ethnonationalist Terror in Afghanistan

Article, 39 pages - May 27, 2021 - According to informed sources in Kabul, a "Made in the USA" backdoor deal has been struck to unify the Pashtun dominated Afghan government and Taliban,  supported by Pakistan and Saudi Arabia under the auspices of ethnonationalism. Though that might sound good, it is not, because ethnic minorities in Afghanistan, as well as neighboring Silk Road countries can expect increased terrorism in the coming months and years. A new and deadlier phase of the American forever war targeting ethnic minorities is intensifying in Afghanistan now and is engineered to radiate out around the Central Asian Region.

Strategic Competition Act of 2021 Pt. 1 A Hate Crime

Article, 7 pages [Keywords: Congress, Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, Belt and Road Initiative, Law] April 25, 2021 - On Wednesday April 21, 2021 the United States’ Senate Foreign Relations Committee voted with overwhelming support (21-1) to pass the badly misnamed 281-page “Strategic Competition Act of 2021.” Fearing that the US cannot compete fairly or legally in the international marketplace, the US has launched a truly massive smear/hate campaign against China.This is the first of a three-part series examining one of several Congressional/Senate plans to crush China. Innocent Chinese Americans are paying the price for these hate crimes already. This politically led anti-competitive crusade to destroy China is far from over.

A brief review of American censorship mechanisms and laws prohibiting it
Censorship is the death knell of democracy

2021, June 25 A brief review of American censorship mechanisms and laws prohibiting it - Censorship is the death knell of democracy. This article reviews most of the above-surface US government and government affiliated organizations and mechanisms used to censor the news, followed by a review of Constitutional, statutory, and case law including SCOTUS decisions prohibiting censorship of the news. This article is the most complete and succinct review of those censorship mechanisms and laws, with linked references published to date. It was written in such a way as to motivate the Supreme Court to reverse its decision in Citizens United vs. FEC, overturn subsequent decisions that have resulted in Super-PAC unlimited anonymous campaign finance “donations,” and issue a cease-and-desist order on current censorship organizations. Additional motivation is provided by a glimpse into how SCOTUS will be remembered in history if they fail to act quickly.

Treatment Plan for Euro-American Leaders’ Pathological Greed and the Hate Pandemics They Cultivate to Feed it

June 14, 2021 - Updated June 19, 2:00 pm
This is a long-overdue article-based treatment plan/proposal to pleasantly change things for the better. It's a far better plan than waiting for WWIII or at best just letting the endless wars, grotesque inequalities and starvation linger on forever. This article reviews the practical utility of law and psychoanalytic, behavioral, neurochemical, anthropological, and more recent political etiological factors leading to the Greed-Hate Disorder before offering a step-step treatment plan.

Polarized Euro-Americans Gasping at the End of History

- Barely able to conceptualize the possibility of a new dawn
Article, 10 pages, w/ photos - May 29, 2021 - Very briefly reviews flaws in the theories of Adam Smith (1776) and Francis Fukuyama (1992), current and probable future ramifications of the systems they exalted, and the possibility of a new, vastly more socially egalitarian dawn for humankind. A hard-hitting story on racism, religious prejudice, unrestrained capitalism and socialism that does offer hope.

When I first wrote and published:
White "Christian" Terrorism - Three Hundred Fifty-Seven Million Reasons You Should Work For Peace,
...in 2017, some were rather critical claiming it to be "racist." A couple of "real" publishers approved it and then dropped it after months of delay. I consider it to be my "opus magnus," a significant contribution to political science and history. One of the greatest writers of the 20th Century, Bill Blum tried to help get it published, but alas he wasn't well and passed away.
Since then it's become a two-volume set.

Though it's true during the Yuan Dynasty the Silk Roads were quite safe to travel, for most of history security was a real issue. Certainly mounted bow and arrow skills were required of Silk Road caravan security, but so too were sword fighting skills.
This is a short book I put together with an old friend Ahn Jeong Huan (안정완) some 14 years ago and has since just sat in my computer files. So, recently I took the various parts and put them together into this short book. I hope it is of some use to those who might wish to learn something about the fine art of Korean Kumdo and the vocabulary needed to practice it in Korean.

North Shaolin Monastery - History, Culture and Reincarnation

Below is a book I wrote about the history and culture of North Shaolin Monastery on Pan Mountain in East China. Its the only official sub-temple of Songshan Shaolin. (Historically there were several others including three South Shaolin in Fujien.) Whereas Songshan Shaolin was destroyed in 1928 during the Warlord Era in China, North Shaolin survived until 1942 when the entire mountain was burned by Japanese soldiers. There were 72 monasteries on that mountain and all were obliterated. The mountain was a stronghold of anti-Japanese resistance during the war. After the war North Shaolin was lost until a friend named Professor Gao Wen Shan from Tianjin found the ancient White Tower that survived, filled with bullet holes as it is. One of the reasons I moved to China in 2009 was to see this venerable monument to martial valor. I first visited in 2010. Since then the monastery has mostly been rebuilt. The North Shaolin first became a Shaolin Monastery during the Yuan Dynasty some 800 years ago. No doubt the Shaolin Monasteries were upon tributaries to the great Silk Roads - especially during the Yuan Dynasty.

Some clippings from yesteryear

Bullies Big and Little, Korea Times, May 4, 2002
The story below is meaningful to me because I learned a valuable lesson about how to resolve an issue with a bully.
Love and a black sticky highly seductive rat
Nineteen years ago in another country I published a story titled: “Bullies Big and Little.”
May 30, 2021 I was a teacher in a small English school in South Korea, and there was a large bully boy that liked to physically and psychologically abuse a couple of girls in his class. I’d come into the classroom and the girls would be crying really hard because they were really hurt. I tried to persuade the boy to stop this but it didn't work. Eventually I went to the principal, but he was good friend with the boy’s father, and said it was my fault, I needed better “classroom control,” ignoring that I repeatedly told him it happened before I came into the classroom. Bullies are not usually that smart, but sometimes rather clever and sometimes very clever indeed.
On another level that story was about international affairs, where big bully nations pick on littler nations. This was after the U.S. invaded Panama and put their president in prison, but before “we” invaded Iraq and hanged their president.

How did I resolve the issue with the bully boy?
One day I was in a magic shop and found a totally disgusting black sticky rat for sale. The shop owner noticed me noticing the shiny black rat, smiled, casually walked over, picked up the black sticky rat and threw it against the wall right behind me. I was shocked. But as I turned around I noticed the black sticky rat wiggling on the wall and thought... "mmm this might be useful one day."  The next day I brought the black sticky rat to school hidden in my book bag. When the class with the bully boy was about to start I walked in and the girls were crying again. I pointedly berated the boy, and then quick as a rat pulled out the rat and threw it right past his head onto the wall where it clung wiggling in its shining glory. At first the boy was horrified but as he got over his shock and focused on the black shiny sticky rat, something happened. I think it was love. No, it was definitely love. He loved and wanted that rat. I pulled it off the wall and he begged me to give it to him. Finally we reached an agreement. He swore on his life he would never bully anyone again in exchange for the black sticky rat. So, I gave him the rat. Surprisingly perhaps, it worked. After that he became friends with the girls and my constant assistant and friend in class. In the year that followed he helped manage the sometimes unruly students in a civil and mature fashion. None of this was in the published story, but that story was good too. - Reflections Sunday morning, May 30, 2021

Incidentally, the above story was the solution to the story published in the newspaper (below). My mom used to hit me if I complained about something without coming up with a solution. Thanks mom! And thanks black shiny sticky rat!

In November 1993 on assignment from Bernama news wire service I took buses and trains from Malaysia Thailand, Nepal, India, and Pakistan into free (western) Kashmir. The series of five stories from Pakistan and Kashmir was published in New Straits Times in January, 1994. Below are two stories Editor Rose Ismail combined into one: Rawalpindi and Muzzafarabad.

One can see from the story on the left nothing has changed there in the past 27 years, in fact nothing has changed from 1947. Kashmir is so like Palestine, except worse because of an iron wall of news suppression.
Even alt-news is virtually silent in regards to Kashmir.
It's astonishing really. India has a caste system that is a straightforward unabashed apartheid state, with the Dalit "untouchable" class living exactly the same as African slaves in the US before 1861, and yet western news is mute.
Of all of the stories I've worked on in my life, the most important one is the book above titled: "
Time-Critical Need for Restructuring the UN - Law, History and News."
Only when the UN is restructured, and the Security Council either balanced or abolished can the the lofty ideals in the original Charter possible be realized.
Then hopefully the infinite cruelty and evil of colonialism which is national-scale slavery by another name, can finally be put to an end.

As one can see in the next section also, as a reporter I've always worked as a minority advocate. This might be in my DNA. At least some of my mother's Irish ancestors came to the US on British prison ships for daring to fight the colonialists. Some of her Scottish ancestors moved to Ireland to escape the British colonialists. Now of course, the US has become the world's most terrifying colonialist. So sad, so sad.

Jeffrey Dahmer Murder Trail
The trial was two weeks in hell with the devil himself sitting right and center. The pain and righteous anger of the surviving victim family members was a lesson for all to learn. Nobody should ever have to experience such agony.

MCJ launched a suburban branch of the newspaper and assigned me to be the editor. That was fun and challenging. One of the most fun parts was writing a weekly Ed-Op piece.

Due to COVID-19 and being retired (as a teacher) since July 2019, the Silk Road Friendship tour has been on hold. Here in China COVID-19 is well under control, but I'm on a "rather tight" budget these days.
Contributions to getting it "back on the road" would be hugely appreciated.

Alas, I am not a 501 C(3).
People can and do call me a lot of things, not all of them bad. One thing no one can accuse me of is being lazy.

The challenges of publishing and getting readers are mounting daily. For example, just the "Strategic Competition Act of 2021" adds $4 billion a year to censoring world media to exclude "alternative" perspectives. Those alternative perspectives include all perspectives that do not kowtow to the American war machine. It's illegal, monstrous and huge, and it's only getting worse.

Below you will find the one and only video I ever made. It's a masterpiece of cinematic mediocrity, but the subject themes are interesting anyways. I hope you enjoy, get off the couch, check the COVID-19 dangers and when and where possible, travel the Silk Roads.
