80th D-Day Commemoration – Remembering the British & Soviet Sacrifice! (6.6.2024)

06/06/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

Specifically, the troops of the 1st Buckinghamshire (Light Bobs) Battalion of the Ox & Bucks Light Infantry (Territorials) – my grandfather’s Unit (he was part of an Anti-Tank Platoon) – intended to relieve D Company (Glider Troops) of the 2nd Battalion of the Ox & Bucks Light Infantry (Professional). My grandfather at one-point was barracked in Bovey Tracy in Devon – whilst his Unit trained around the Exeter Canal System – due to this place possessing a similar structure to that of the Canal System of Caen. This could have been to familiarise the “Light Bobs” with the Caen area they were supposed to advance toward from Sword Beach. This could have been my grandfather’s route into France – but I possess his shoulder badge – which is a Winged Pegasus (worn by Glider Troops). Whatever the case, his Unit was wiped-out and he fought on in the hedge-rows of France – fighting Vichy French and Nazi Germans.

US: UC Irvine Academic Workers Join Strike Over Suppression of Pro-Palestinian Protests! (6.6.2024)

The union’s members voted last month to authorize a strike to protest the university’s controversial response to pro-Palestinian demonstrations on campus, which they said has caused unsafe work conditions and violated their free speech rights.

The first UC campus that stood up and withheld labor was UC Santa Cruz where academic workers walked off the job on May 20. The walkout spread to UC Los Angeles and UC Davis on May 28, and further expanded to two more campuses, UC San Diego and UC Santa Barbara, on Monday.

Pro-Palestinian demonstrations have been spreading at colleges and universities across the United States amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict in Gaza. Hundreds were arrested in crackdowns on pro-Palestinian protests and encampments on UC campuses across the state. Around 50 people were arrested on May 15 during police crackdown on a pro-Palestinian protest encampment at UC Irvine.

While the absolute number of specialized doctors in retinal fundus diseases is not insignificant, it remains relatively small compared to the increasing demand from patients, Xu said.

To address the problems, the National Clinical Research Center for Ocular Diseases and related associations have established standardized retinal fundus disease diagnosis and treatment processes and scientific management models for chronic retinal diseases in over 1,000 medical institutions nationwide.

“We need to further promote innovation in retinal fundus disease diagnosis and treatment management models, conduct precise early screening, and enhance comprehensive disease management,” Xu said.

UK: Independent Left & Right Strive for Hung Parliament! (5.6.2024)

05/06/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

What will happen? Interestingly, both the left and right are looking to achieve a Hung Parliament within which no single Party possesses over-all control. This would mean that the “Independents” would exercise an inordinate amount of political power and influence – prevent Labour, the Tories and the LibDems from following their usual neo-con policies in perfect sync with the US. It would also prevent the LibDems from attempting to take the UK back into the European Union (EU) – and hinder a UK government from continuously giving-up sovereignty to an out of control Brussels. Whether this scenario will play-out – only time will tell. As matters stand, a right-wing Labour Party looks like winning as a replacement for a failing right-wing Tory Junta that has spent its time placating the US and pursuing an obvious BJP trajectory!

Do Not Labour - Starmtroopers Will Get You!

Do NOT Vote Labour – or “Starm-Troopers” Will Soon Be Knocking on Your Door! (5.6.2024)

05/06/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

Even under Corbyn it would have represented a more honest left-leaning Trotskyite tendency. It would be prudent to vote “Independent” wherever possible. Remember the Tories and LibDems have murdered well in excess of 120,000 Disabled people in the UK (confirmed by the UN in 2016). No one has been held responsible for this – and Ian Duncan-Smith is still roaming free to spend £60 on a single breakfast! The working class is starving and suffering throughout the UK! Register to vote – and then vote far-left or as left as possible! Do NOT vote Labour, do NOT assist the Labour Party! Do not help any far-left entities that still follow the deluded path of supporting a hollow shell of a Labour Party! Do NOT betray the workers – but seek out subtle ways to assist the general drive to Revolution!

India: Fascist Bharatiya Janata Party Set for New Term of Office! (5.6.2024)

05/06/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

In his 10 years in power, Modi has transformed India’s political landscape, bringing Hindu nationalism, once a fringe ideology in the country, into the mainstream while leaving the nation deeply divided.

His supporters see him as a self-made, strong leader who has improved India’s standing in the world. His critics and opponents say his Hindu-first politics have bred intolerance, while the Indian economy — the world’s fifth-largest and one of the fastest-growing — has become more unequal, The Associated Press reported.

In his third term, the Modi-led government might shift its focus to domestic issues, prioritizing public welfare and fair distribution of growth benefits, and even adopting a softer stance on Hindu nationalism, according to analysts.
