Adolf Hitler: What Was His Real Surname? (10.9.2023)

10/09/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

This might explain why the priest mistook the Austrian name of ‘Hiedler’ for ‘Hitler’ not realising that no such name as ‘Hitler’ existed. In effect, through a lack of familiarity with a language and culture a ‘new’ surname was created by this scribing error. As his father was ‘born’ with the name ‘Schicklgruber’ – surely Hitler, although not born with this name – possessed a legitimate right to lay claim to it. Therefore, the person history knows as ‘Adolf Hitler’ possesses the legal to claim the ‘Hiedler’ and ‘Schicklgruber’ surnames – even though there is NO evidence that he ever did. Indeed, the evidence seems to suggest that Adolf Hitler went out of his way to ‘hide’ these names from his biographies.

On this occasion, Comrade Thongloun Sisoulith welcomed and highly appreciated the visit and work in Laos PDR of Comrade Liu Chien Shao (along with his delegation) – who sent a warm message to Xi Jinping, General Secretary, President of China – as well as appreciated the bilateral cooperation between Laos and China in the past. This includes the coordination of the Foreign Relations Committee of the Communist Party of China – which has contributed significantly to enhancing the friendship and strategic partnership. This comprehensive and stable relationship has lasted for a long time according to the four- directions between the two parties – the two States and the people of the two ‘Socialist’ nations, as well as creating a Laos-Chinese destiny partnership with high standards, high quality and a higher level of cooperation.

RNPS: Seaman Arthur James Gibson [1911-1997] (NO: JX381363) – HMS BEAUMARIS CASTLE (Minesweeper) – [North Atlantic] Commemorative Service Medal Award [1939-1945]! (7.9.2023)

07/09/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

I am told that during WWII – the RNPS lost around 250 ships protecting the UK coasts from Nazi German aggression! My grandfather assisted in the ongoing process of keeping the sea-lanes ‘free’ of Nazi German sea-mines that did so much damage to Allied shipping! Linked above is the article recording his official MOD Medals issued in 1950 for his Military Service – but this article is about a special RNPS Commemorative Medal which we had to apply for (and finance) separately – which honours the fight the men of the RNPS put-up to secure the freedom we enjoy today! Furthermore, my family in the UK are proud that our grandfather assisted the hundreds of ships that formed the Russian Arctic Convoys which carried much needed aid to our Allies in the Soviet Union! Long Live the Royal Navy Patrol Service!

Xinhua’s Report: “Origins, Facts and Perils of U.S. Military Hegemony”! (6.9.2023)

06/09/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

Due to US lies and deception – the BBC is pumping-out pro-Ukrainian propaganda whilst British armaments are being used by Ukrainian military units flying Nazi Germany swastika flags and Amazon is selling the Ukrainian ‘SS’ tridents through its online stores! The misrepresentation about what is happening in Ukraine (and throughout Eastern Europe) is abhorrent and disgusting in much the same way as Hitler ‘normalised’ the Holocaust and the mass murder of ethnic minorities! The US (and its mindless militarism) is the biggest threat to peace in the world and the UK and Europe – dominated as the region is by the US-controlled EU – has failed to stand-up to the Americans and politically put this terrible country in its place!

Socialist Organisational Structures in Napoleon’s Elite ‘Imperial Guard’ [Garde Imperiale]! (6.9.2023)

06/09/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

In the UK, Oliver Cromwell’s ‘New Model Army’ possessed such structures (abolished after the so-called ‘Restoration’ of a Constitutional Monarchy in the UK) – as did the Soviet Red Army. Today, the Armed Fotces of Cuba, China, Vietnam, Laos and North Korea possess ‘People’s Armies’ all possessing a strict discipline which is coupled with egalitarian bodies where all constituent members are considered ‘equal’! The British Regiments of Foot which took on and finally defeated the ‘Imperial Guard’ at the (1815) Battle of Waterloo – picked-up the bearskin hats worn by the ‘Grande Armee’ – and after removing the regimental name plates, insignia and symbols of rank, were granted permission by the British government to wear these garments as part of their parade uniforms.
