Down House: Gee & Adrian Play Chess – Gee Wins! (7.3.2026)

07/03/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

Whilst visiting the Games Room of Down House – Kai-Lin played with the dinosaurs and the globe – whilst Mei-An watch myself and Gee play chess on a huge set of pieces and large board! Mei-An filmed and photographed whilst the game ebbed and flowed. I started really strongly – but made a poor move that sacrificed my Queen unnecessarily – Ge quite rightly pounced – turned the game in her favoured – and wiped the board with me. It was a great and explosive match and I definitely went-out on my shield! We try and play each other at least once a week to keep our thought processes subtle and sharp. I find the processes of intense thought relieves the fatigue my academic work often induces,

Down House: Donning a Bowler Hat & Beard – Charles Darwin Lives! (7.3.2026)

07/03/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

It is a beautiful manor house situated in Kent – with a large garden full of all the natural experiments Darwin developed over many decades – as he slowly but surely correlated the information he had gathered in his youth aboard the HMS Beagle. He further developed all this by closely observing how nature functioned and unfolded in his native England – realising that environmental conditions (natural selection) creates changes in living organisms so a to better enhance the chances of a) survival, and b) reproduction. Whether occurring in South America, the Pacific, or the UK, the evolutionary forces acted in exactly the same way. Of course, what is near at hand to each of us becomes the “familiar” – and what is far away becomes the “unfamiliar”. However, this is just a matter of sensory “immediacy” – the point that Darwin made is that there is a greater principle underlying it all that we, as individuals, must strive to appreciate and understand. As part of this process, myself, Ge, Mei-An, and Kai-Lin all donned bowler hats and fake beards – so that we could – even if only for a moment – become Vharles Darwin!

London: Croydon LTNs Ruled “Unlawful” by High Court – Used to Boost Council Finances! (7.3.2026)

07/03/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

The legal challenge was spearheaded by local resident Karen Lawrence and the pressure group Open Our Roads. Following a complex legal battle that began in May 2024, Mr Justice Pepperall ruled on Wednesday (March 4) that the council had abused its statutory powers.

He found that the council’s primary motive for implementing the traffic restrictions was to raise revenue, which falls outside the lawful scope of the relevant legislation. LTNs are residential areas where through traffic is restricted by measures such as planters and cameras, in an effort to improve road safety and air quality.

The court’s decision examined Croydon Council’s broader financial position in relation to the LTNs. The judgement referenced the council’s Section 114 bankruptcy notices issued in 2020 over a projected £67 million shortfall.

UK: Shocking BBC Placation of Alleged Trump-Epstein Sex Crimes Against Under-Age Girls! (7.3.2026)

07/03/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

Since WWII, this clique has its headquarters in Washington (prior to WWII it was in London). Now, I have watched news articles made by independent journalists who have interviewed women who allege that Donald Trump sexually abused them under Epstein’s gaze when they were in their young teens (I believe 13-14). One of these girls has subsequently committed suicide due to the continuous threats and abuse she has suffered from the supporters of Donald Trump – whilst the other is in hiding for her own safety. Even the journalist who broke this story is now in hiding. As if all this was not cause for concern considering the fascistic-right in the US has elected this man as President yet again – the BBC blatantly “lies” when it falsely states “no girls have come forward” claiming Trump sexually abused them. Everything I have said here – can be found on the internet with just a few clicks. Consider that various celebrities have lost their careers merely from vague associations with sex pests – and no direct evidence they did anything wrong themselves. Why, then, does the BBC take to tone it does? I suspect 10 Downing Street has been on the ‘phone and delivered the latest script that Starmer prefers. After-all, last weekend the Labour Parry authorised groups of Iranian immigrants to prance around the centres of British cities waving the illegal Shah of Iran flag – being allowed to celebrate the West’s attack on the Islamic Republic. Perhaps Starmer thinks Reump must be protected until the job is done.

China: Trump’s Old Jibes at Obama Over Iran Scrutinized by US Media! (6.3.2026)

The English woman then said that she could soon take-off her scarf and look and act “like a British woman” free of Islamic oppression (a viewpoint commonly expressed throughout UK media – to justify the UK’s ongoing sanctions and aggression against Iran). The shocked looking Muslim woman replied that it is not Islam that is the problem – but rather the “Socialism” that Iran practices! “Why should the lazy receive help from the wealth-off?” – she opined. She added that viewpoints suggesting that Muslim women should take-off their headscarves are “racist”. There then followed a bemused silence between the two. Ironically, I have been told that this woman (and her family) arrived in the UK as illegal immigrants, were given a free house, the car, healthcare, and everything else that comes with the Human Rights Act – and despite benefitting from a British Socialism no longer applied to the British people themselves – this is the kind of attitude she holds. I suppose she does not mind the British and US bombs that are currently tearing Iranians to pieces in the name of Zionist Israel – just as long as she benefits from the relative security the British Mainland offers her. Even though the presence of people like her in the UK is fuelling a resurgence of the far-right.

DPRK: “Unyo-maru” Incident – Prelude to Japan’s Armed Invasion of Korea! (5.3.2026)

05/03/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

Availing themselves of the opportunity, the Japanese aggressors asserted that the Korean side conducted an act of hostility towards Japan, and then started an open armed intervention. They threatened and blackmailed the Korean feudal government with cannons and warships and enforced the conclusion of an aggressive and subordinate unequal treaty on it in February the following year.

Japan stipulated the extraterritorial rights in the treaty. In this way, it provided a legal guarantee for committing all sorts of criminal acts, including aggression and plunder, at will, irrespective of the law of the Korean feudal state. On this basis, it could stretch out its tentacles of aggression deep into Korea in political, economic, military and other fields.
