Diverse and Progressive Malta!

Malta: Students Fascinated by Confucius-Themed Photographic Exhibition! (24.11.2024)

Students were also engaged in interactive activities, and creative cultural products were distributed as rewards.

“The exhibition is very interesting, and I love it,” 12-year-old Stefano Gallo said, expressing hope to visit China in the future.

Winning a Chinese knot, Maksym Antonchenko said he has gained a deeper understanding of Chinese culture.

Rita Micallef, a teacher, told Xinhua that the students enjoyed the experience. “I do that as well,” she said, sharing her personal interest in Chinese films and her efforts to learn Chinese.

Oxford: John Milton’s “Mounting Stone” – Forest Hill! (29.8.2024)

As to “why” Oxford Council resorted to this tactic is a matter of conjecture considering how overgrown the bank and stone is – and how difficult it is to actually locate the stone (there is virtually no signage). Perhaps a flat stone was becoming easily obscured by dirt, leaves and over debris – and an upright position rendered it better protected. John Milton (1608-1674) was a literary genius and esteemed poet who lived across the road from this stone and was a supporter of Parliament (and Oliver Cromwell) during the English Republic (1649-1660). His thinking was both progressive and Revolutionary! He (and his wife) were wealthy landowners in the area of the stone – owning property either side of St Nicholas Church in Forest Hill.

This Print of the Turin Shroud is a Big Seller!

Catholic Church Hijacks “Science” – Wraps It in a Turin Shroud! (21.8.2024)

A Catholic friend of mine once said that if the Turin Shroud was real – it would be locked-up securely in the deepest vault the Vatican possessed – rather than being displayed on a wall of an old Church situated down an Italian back-street! I suspect he is right as the Roman Catholic Church never gives-up the chance of acquiring as much worldly wealth as possible whilst lending its support to fascist regimes around the world. If a burial cloth really did exist that was used to bury the physical body of Jesus Christ around 33 CE – then there would be a tangible piece of evidence that the man now known as “Jesus Christ” did really exist in the physical world and was not a fabrication of Greek travellers who thought they might like to be a part of the “Chosen Ones”. Yes – Jesus Christ was illiterate, and his direct disciples were shepherds and fishermen – they were also people of Jewish religious and cultural origin. Why is there no early text relating to Jesus Christ in the Hebrew language – the language of his ethnicity?

Comrade Leonard Rogozov - Soviet Surgeon

USSR: Soviet Surgeon Who Extracted His Own Appendix! (12.8.2024)

Many who hear about this extraordinary feat – often try to debunk it – as if it could not possibly be true! Why not? When conditions are optimal – the working-class is the most progressive – class and can achieve anything it collectively puts its mind to! Comrade Leonard Rogozov did just this in 1961 – when circumstances dictated that such a feat had to be carried-out! I have translated the real story by reading three Russian-language accounts and have placed this article on the Buddhist-Marxism Alliance (UK) site – linked above. Ignore the naysayers – this blog has just been re-born by standing-up to tyranny!

Around 50,000 Lived in Cahokia at its Peak!

Cahokia: Native Americans Lived in Cities – Climate Change NOT Responsible for Demise! (9.8.2024)

Natural climate change has always happened – and is happening now – with the caveat that certain Environmentalists now suggest that the agency of human behaviour also contributes to the process of climate change. Indeed, it has become stylish in certain quarters for climate change (natural or unnatural) to be blamed for environmental alterations that cannot be readily or conveniently explained. Until recently, the dominant hypothesis – presented as fact – was that the ancient (Pre-Colombian) City of Cahokia (located in the region of St Louis) had disappeared in the 1200s (13th century) exclusively due to climate change. New academic research, however, has provided reliable (objective) academic evidence that climate change was not partially (or entirely) responsible for the demise of Cahokia.

Abbot's Kitched - Glastonbury - 2024

Glastonbury Abbey: Abbot’s Kitchen – St Joseph’s Well! (30.7.2024)

Today, an ad hoc “Wishing Well” has developed in one of the corners of the room. This was probably a drain or perhaps some type of cooker – but in modern times visitors have taken to dropping coins down through the covering grill – and making heartfelt requests in the form of prayers and good wishes. Our daughters asked for good health to be bestowed upon Nana (Diane Wyles), Granddad (Peter Wyles) and Charlotte (my younger sister)! The currency observed spans the globe – which demonstrates the universal appeal that Glastonbury holds. This is not necessarily “religious” (although religion is important for many) – but rathe “spiritual” in nature – the latter category being far more inclusive and all-embracing!
