Imperial Japanese Brutality as Ritual – ‘Misogi’ [禊] & ‘Harae’ [祓] During WWII! (25.2.2024)

25/02/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

At the same time, the US turned an Occupied Japan into a fascist, liberal democratic (capitalist) state that exists to spread race-hate toward North Korea and China! Perhaps the greatest irony involves the fact that the martial-related rituals that facilitated this Imperial Japanese madness, within ten-years of the end of WWII, saw Westerners in their hundreds and thousands voluntarily flocking to done the ‘White’ Gi (not realising that ‘White’ in Japan is the colour of both ‘death’ and ‘mourning’) and participate in the bare-footed practice of the (unfaniliar) very Japanese martial arts that had just been used to kill and maim millions throughout Asia between 1931-1945. The US demanded the spread of Japanese martial arts throughout the West in an effort to ‘hide’ and ‘obscure’ the martial arts of the Chinese people who were our allies during WWII – and who have been our peaceful neighbours for centuries!

Buddhist-Marxism Alliance (UK) – When Darwin Read Marx! (24.2.2024)

24/02/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

A large sign said ‘NO Photography’ – but I politely enquired as to whether I could snap a ‘small’ picture – and was given a cryptic permission. Many (deceptive) Trotskyites state that Darwin never opened the book – but I saw with my own eyes that the pages had been both ‘cut’ and ‘opened’. Interestingly, the correspondence between Darwin and Marx (discussing their respective theories) are not yet publicly available. I am told this might be because of the positive attitude Darwin expressed about what Marx had to say.

US Mistakes Mechanical Cranes for Real Cranes!

US: The Way of the White Crane! (24.2.2024)

24/02/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

When it comes to matters of so-called national security, Washington’s fixation on implicating China knows no bounds. From baseless accusations of espionage to scrutinizing individuals based on nationality, the pattern of suspicion and scapegoating has been casting a long shadow over bilateral cooperation.

Such an absurd accusation involving the Chinese-made cranes is by no means an isolated case. Just three weeks ago, a U.S. senator Tom Cotton grilled the CEO of TikTok Shou Zi Chew about his nationality, suggesting he has links with China, when he is in fact a Singaporean.

Even more absurd, a Florida senator Rick Scott claimed two months ago that garlic imported from China poses a threat to U.S. national security. He jumped to the conclusion based on the accusation that Chinese garlic is grown using human faeces and sewage as fertilizers.

Palestine: Overcrowded Rafah – Open Prison That Resembles the Day of Judgement! (23.2.2024)

Awad tells Al-Arabi Al-Jadeed: “We no longer care about anything, as anxiety has become an essential part of our daily lives. I walk to the market every day to secure our needs, and every evening I remember my destroyed home and my martyred brothers. We are forced to bear the pressure. I have two children, Ahmed (9 years old) and Ola (8 years old), and they tell me that they long to breathe freely and comfortably, but we do not have this luxury currently, and our day goes from morning to evening in fatigue and anxiety, and we fear that the process will begin again. I worry that the Zionist military forces will come and I lose my children – and then we are busy again getting water and bread.”

DPRK: Israeli Holocaust In Gaza Hidden in Plain Sight! (22.2.2024)

22/02/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

On Feb. 11, Israel bombed a dwelling house of refugees, killing dozens of innocent inhabitants. The next day it killed civilians by mobilizing planes, tanks and warships.

As a result of Israel’s rash acts, over 100 people were killed and hundreds of civilians including women and children were injured in Rafah City and its surrounding areas on Feb. 12 alone.

When recalling once again that a spokesperson for the Israeli military unhesitatingly said that it is a “very effective rate” to kill two people in order to kill one Hamas militant, one can know clearly that the present situation is a purposeful and conscious act of Israel to exterminate the Palestinian nation.

The mayor of Rafah City expressed concerns, saying that “Israel’s bombing is being intensified over the past few hours, which serves as preparations for military operation in the city”.

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.
