Harry Moyer: 103-Year-Old Flying Tigers Veteran Visits Great Wall! (29.10.2023)

29/10/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

Moyer joined the U.S. Army Air Corps in 1942 and fought throughout World War II.

Moyer’s squadron joined the 23rd Fighter Group of the 14th Air Force in China in 1944 and was primarily responsible for protecting Chinese airfields and the B-29 bombers stationed there tasked with counter-attacks on Japan.

The Flying Tigers shot down more than 2,600 enemy planes during the fight against the invading Japanese troops in World War II.

In 2020, Moyer celebrated his centennial birthday by taking a solo flight in his Mooney MK21 plane.

Moyer arrived in Shanghai on Saturday and will visit Liuzhou of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region and Kuming in Yunnan Province in the following days.

How the Imperial War Museum Relegated the “Black Experience” of WWII to a Back Corridor! (26.10.2023)

27/10/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

When we entered a back corridor – slightly disheartened by the shallowness of the IWM coverage of WWII from an ordinary British and Chinese perspective – we were astonished to find that a ‘Black’ British art exhibition – regarding WWII – had been consigned to an ‘out of the way’ place! The corridor is both bare and bleak – the sort of place one (momentarily) traverses through to get to another place – or perhaps rest for a moment to get one’s bearings. In no civilised way should this location be interpreted as ‘suitable’ for an art exhibition – as it reeks with Eurocentric disdain! Such is the contemporary IWM and the disjointed face it shows to a general public it intends to fleece in its gift shops!

Statement: Issued by the Department of Refugees and Right of Return! (24.10.2023)

The majority of the martyrs and wounded have been women and children – in addition to the forcible removal of more than 140 families. These crimes are systematically applied by the Zionists – moving from one neighbourhood to another – and from one camp to another in the Gaza Strip! The fascist-Zionist atrocities have been supported and blessed by the United States, Britain, France, Canada, Germany, Spain, Neo-Ukraine, and others!

Live on Forever as a Proletariat! (25.10.2023)

25/10/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

Meanwhile, China seems to be following a path of commercialisation which seeks to develop the closest of ties with the US – a country whose people and political system remains the furthest away in relevance from everyday Chinese needs. Maoism or ‘More-ism’? Who can tell – as the Chinese ideologues appear to be relying upon ‘contradiction’ as a means to deflect all criticism of the post-1979 path its leaders have chosen to follow. Perhaps this is as superficial as the American-English the Chinese State choses to use when writing English language articles – a policy that is nothing but an insult to British English. This would be like British people using the Korean written script whilst claiming to be writing ‘Chinese’ language texts. Perhaps this scathing criticism will generate some type of positive change.

Dan Halutz: Israel’s “Accumulated Deterioration”! (23.10.2023)

23/10/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

Seventeen-years have passed since a Regular Army numbered no less than a million, between conscripts and reserves, and possessed the most powerful air and surface-to-air defence weapons, the finest armour, the most insidious intelligence apparatus, and the most modern weapons and means of communication. Behind it were the “greatest” countries and all the world’s technology at its disposal, all of that, and it did not learn from its mistakes! A war over only 79 kilometres with a small armed group whose greatest military weapon at the time was the Kornet anti-tank missile, accompanied by a set of tactics, deceptions, and camouflage methods.

Buddhist-Marxism Alliance (UK) – A Buddhist Response to Zionist-Fascism! (21.10.2023)

21/10/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

Genuine Buddhist philosophy is automatically left-wing and perfectly aligned with the ideology of Scientific Socialism! The USSR possessed at least three Buddhist-Socialist Republics – with Buddhism being prominent throughout Asia – particularly China, Korea, Vietnam and Laos. It is only in the capitalist West and post-1945 Japan – that a perverse right-wing Buddhism has developed premised upon the very greed, hatred and delusion the Buddha stated causes ALL human suffering in the world! At the above link is a short and concise article published on the Buddhist-Marxism Alliance (UK) website highlighting a ‘Buddhist’ approach to the Palestine-Israeli situation.
