How Steven Spielberg Altered JG Ballard’s ‘Empire of the Sun’! (22.2.2024)

22/02/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

I agree, the film is stunning, moving and dialectically thrilling – but did Spielberg work his Zionist magic? After watching the Blu-ray of Empire of the Sun a number of times and re-reading JG Ballard’s beautiful novel – I have yet again detected Spielberg fiddling with the perception of the world – using his usual method of precise omission. Jim declares that he has become an ‘atheist’ – but Spielberg censors-out the fact that he is also thinking of joining the Communist Party. Chiang Kai-Shek made a habit of beheading any caught Communist guerrillas – placing their heads on spikes in the centre of Shanghai for all to see. Jim had become impressed with the Communist Unions that agitated for the rights of workers employed by ‘White’ Europeans (such as his father) – and the battle waged by Mao Zedong and his forces living in the hills (a famous Chinese actress had resigned from her lavish profession in the Movies and the cinemas – and had joined Mao Zedong’s Communist guerrillas) – all omitted by Spielberg.

Ryukyu: Studying the ‘Okinawa’ Name! (22.2.2024)

22/02/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

I was asked about the history and meaning of the name ‘Okinawa’ and ‘Ryukyu’ – both Japanese in origin – but premised upon older Chinese ideograms. At the above link, there is my research regarding the forensic study of the ideograms involved and my conclusions premised upon these findings. The term ‘Okinawa’ appears to be a post-1872 CE construct – at least in regard to the forming of the Japanese Prefecture of that name. Generally, Chinese literature does not use this term – but prefers the far older ‘Lu Qiu’ designation which dates back around 1500-years.

Liverpool: You’ll Never Walk Alone! (21.2.2024)

21/02/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

Usually, the right-wing are highly reactionary against any form of progress – including electrical communication. China offered the West cheap and widespread 5G – but the anti-China racism of the US spread to the UK and EU – and this led to the already built infrastructure (made at China’s expense) being ripped-up and contracts cancelled! Still, whilst predatory capitalism keeps us all in abject poverty, fear and endless warfare – China is progressing at a fast pace. As regards Stephen King, the ‘Cell’ is superb – even though I certainly do not agree with his support for Neo-Nazi Ukraine – or his silence regarding the widespread ‘banning’ of Oliver Stone’s film ‘Ukraine on Fire’ – proving the fascist-nature of the Neo-Nazi Ukrainian Junta (backed by the US)!

DPRK: Comrade Kim Jong Un Test-Fires [Surface-to-Sea Missile] Padasuri-6! (20.2.2024)

20/02/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

Recalling the fact that the ROK puppets let various kinds of battleships intrude into the waters of the DPRK to seriously encroach upon its sovereignty under the pretext of control of fishing boats and ships of a third country and maritime patrol while making desperate efforts to preserve the “northern limit line”, a ghost one without any ground in the light of international law or legal justification, he stressed the need for the DPRK to thoroughly defend the maritime sovereignty by force of arms and actions, not by any rhetoric, statement and public notice.

Emails: Empowering “Trans” from the Left! (20.2.2024)

20/02/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

But here’s the thing – the trans movement is knocking down this fabricated house of cards and in that respect is Revolutionary. It is Revolutionary because these constructs are Bourgeois and are used to cement capitalist society in place. Reaction left and right complicates this matter. The problem is that trans ideology inevitably hits the harsh reality of biological function – a reality that attracts the greatest reaction. Of course, science can and does (to a certain degree) address this issue in a manner that was not possible during the lifetime of Marx and Engels – although there is a strong argument that both advocated the complete destruction of Bourgeois norms and values – and I would agree. Trans is not new – it just seems new due to its widespread emergence and toleration within Bourgeois society.

IJAN: Anti-Zionism is Anti-Fascism – Jews Stand With John Avalos! (20.2.2024)

20/02/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

Last week, the Jewish Community Relations Council (JCRC) of San Francisco initiated an intimidation campaign against John Avalos, former member of the SF Board of Supervisors and current director of San Francisco’s leading affordable housing coalition, the Council of Community Housing Organizations. JCRC’s immediate goal is to punish Avalos for speaking out about Israel’s genocide in Gaza. But more broadly, this is part of their larger effort to stifle all critique of Israel by mischaracterizing it as antisemitic. JCRC has a long-history of such campaigns, usually targeting people of color-led social justice organizations that take a stand in support of Palestinian rights.
