Buckfast Abbey - Rule of St Benedict!

Buckfast Abbey: The Magnificent Waterwheel! (4.4.2024)

The time of the day and season of the year was defined by the cycles associated with monastic life – with monastic life guided by the various Rules which guided the daily activities of the monks and nuns. Lay-people – or “Oblates” – also followed these rules – which permitted Roman Catholic spirituality to permeate English society. After its abolition – the Church of England was formed – which would eventually represent the capitalistic ideas of the new post-Catholic elites. As a consequence, it was only during the early 20th century that Buckfast Abbey was permitted to be re-built and for a population of monks to once again inhabit its interior.

Inside the Castle!

Torbay: Berry Pomeroy Castle – Tudor Ruins! (2.4.2024)

During the 1500s, Elizabeth I was an absolute monarch (as was her father – King Henry VIII) – who preferred to live in and around the Nonsuch Park area – including Hampton Court Palace (which is no longer used by the royal family). However, there was once a “Nonsuch Palace” which does not exist today. After Elizabeth I died (1603 CE) – many of the castles she frequented were no long favoured by the royal family – leading to these buildings falling into neglect and ruin. This was the case with Nonsuch Palace which was so badly dilapidate that what was left of it had to be demolished in 1683 CE – for safety reasons – with the ruins being recycled into the constructon (or maintenance) of local buildings.

The British NHS is Funded By Collective Taxation!

NHS: Enforced [Tory] A&E Crisis Kills Extra 14,000 Patients in Single Year! (2.4.2024)

LONDON, April 1 (Xinhua) — It was estimated that there were about 14,000 excess deaths in 2023 related to 12-hour-long-or-more waits in the accident and emergency (A&E) units in the United Kingdom (UK), according to a research result released here on Monday.

The Royal College of Emergency Medicine (RCEM) made the research, using a method called the Standard Mortality Ratio, which calculates that there will be one additional death for every 72 patients that experience an eight-to-twelve-hour wait prior to their admission.

It revealed that more than 1.5 million patients waited 12 hours or more in 2023, and estimated that an average of over 268 patients died each week due to waits of 12 hours or longer.

Morning Star - Old Testament

The Biblical Origin of the Term “Morning Star”! (1.4.2024)

A major stumbling block with this allusion – if it is linked to Socialism – is that the “Morning Star” (or the two separate and distinct deities of “Daystar” and “Dawn”) – are linked by the early Jews with “evil” and the “Devil”. This association is particularly strong within Christianity. It is the deliberate demonisation of Phoenician religion for no other reason than it is not ‘Jewish’. The reason that I suspect that Trotskyism is the key to the association of “Morning Star” within Socialism lies in the fact that this ideology is deliberately deceptive and anti-worker in nature. Whilst pretending to be Revolutionary and progressive – all Trotskyites work behind the scenes to defeat Marxist-Leninism and keep the workers firmly enslaved within the capitalist system. All is “entryism” and nothing else matters. Trotskyism is a new form of materially premised religion – a religion which perceives genuine Revolutionary activity as bring from the Devil!
