UK: Remembering “Old Billy” [1760-1822] with Love and Respect! (21.7.2024)

21/07/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

The taxidermied head was acquired by Bedford Museum, while Old Billy’s skull went to Manchester Museum, where it has been displayed below a neon sign bearing the horse’s name.

Such has been Old Billy’s enduring appeal that a children’s book telling the horse’s story was published in 2023 and Ms Reid said it was hoped the return of the head would inspire other work.

“There’s something about Old Billy which has really captured our imaginations,” she said.

“We loved the beautiful children’s picture book about him which was recently created by two artists from the town [and] now there’s music and artwork being made about Old Billy and we’ll be hosting workshops and talks.”

Old Billy is at Warrington Museum’s Cabinet of Curiosities between 19 July and 20 November and is free to view.

Plato of Athens - Great Thinker of Ancient Greece!

Book Review: Plato of Athens – A Life in Philosophy By Robin Waterfield! (20.7.2024)

20/07/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

If Waterfield is wrong about the reality of the USSR – how can he be trusted to formulate a reliable biography about Plato? Stalin possessed no real power as an elected General Secretary. His elected post was one of “Regulation” – as all the decisions formulated by the numerous Committees (controlled by the workers) were passed through his Office for application and ideological verification. Suspect, incomplete or badly formulated decisions were “Returned” to the various Committees for reconsideration. Waterfield pursues a disturbing agenda which all readers must be suspicious of.

UN: ICJ Calls on Israel to End “Unlawful” Presence in Occupied Palestinian Territories! (20.7.2024)

20/07/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

On Dec. 30, 2022, the UN General Assembly adopted a resolution requesting the ICJ to provide an advisory opinion regarding the legal consequences of Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territories, including East Jerusalem.

In February 2024, the ICJ held public hearings at which Palestine, 49 UN member states, and three international organizations presented oral statements regarding the issue.

At the hearings, Palestine’s UN envoy Riyad Mansour urged the ICJ to declare Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territories illegal, emphasizing that such a ruling would pave the way for an immediate end to the occupation and the establishment of a “just and lasting peace.”

Without participating in the hearings, the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office issued a statement rejecting the legitimacy of the hearings, accusing them of attempting to further undermine Israel’s right to survival and self-defense.

UN: China Asserts NATO Grestest Threat to World Peace! (17.7. 2024)

Fu said China believes that to build a more just and equitable international order, the focus should be on six areas: upholding sovereign equality in a multipolar system; respecting each nation’s development path without interference; building common security through dialogue; promoting inclusive economic globalization; upholding fairness and justice by strengthening the UN and developing countries’ voices; and fostering openness, dialogue and shared human values.

The Security Council meeting was chaired by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, who said the US “has long declared its own exceptionalism”.

He said the United States requires “unquestionable obedience” from its allies, “even to the detriment of their national interests”.

Lavrov said that Rule America, “the essence of the notorious rules-based order”, is a “direct threat to multilateralism and international law”, adding that the UN Charter and the Security Council’s decisions are “perversely interpreted by the collective West”.

A large cache of pottery and bone ware and coins unearthed from the tombs are also on display in the museum.

“The museum makes full use of the original appearance of the tombs, as well as digital exhibition, VR technology and touch screens to offer the audience an immersive experience of the ancient Qiuci,” said Feng Wei, deputy curator of the museum.

According to the Xinjiang regional institute of cultural relics and archaeology, four excavation rounds were carried out from 2007 to 2023 at the site in Kuqa, which led to the discovery of more than 2,000 relic sites. In addition to the tombs, there are wells, cooking stoves and other relics dating from the Spring and Autumn Period (770-476 BC) up to the Ming and Qing dynasties (1368-1911).

Today, the DPRK holds a full-fledged position in the international arena.

Enemies are afraid of the DPRK and friends respect it.

I am sincerely pleased that the friendship and comprehensive cooperation between the DPRK and the Russian Federation are growing stronger day by day thanks to your efforts.
