How US Science Proved the Soviet Theory of the ‘Non-Divine’ Origin of Life [1952]! (4.10.2018)

The complex combination of manifestations and properties characteristic of life must have arisen as a part of the process of the evolution of matter.’ He asserted that basic organic chemicals might have formed into microscopic localized systems, from which primitive living things could have developed at a very early time in the planet’s existence when conditions were very different to today. Highly volatile and dangerous conditions, according to Alexander Oparin, are exactly the conditions within which amino acids could be produced. Amino acids are protein building blocks of all life. Alexander Oparin went on to develop the field industrial biochemistry for the Soviet State, whilst his earlier work was left unfinished. Alexander Oparin speculated that organic life was a product of natural events and had nothing to do with any form of divine intervention.

Military records are precise and concise and convey very little about the reality of war. As a family we do not subscribe to the notion of imperialist war, but we are proud that our grandfather volunteered to join the British Army to fight fascism in the 1940’s.

USSR: The 1944 Football Victory – When the Soviet Red Army Beat Arsenal! (8.7.2018)

This was the 131st Motorized Rifle Regiment, composed of elite (Soviet) NKVD troops. This regiment required very fit young men to guard the communications channels through which Lend-Lease cargo was delivered to the Soviet Union, and to support public order in the capital of Iran; eventually participating in ensuring the security of the meeting between Roosevelt, Churchill and Stalin in Tehran. Among the soldiers and officers of this regiment, there were many athletes from different sports – including football, volleyball, wrestling, track events and weightlifting. Sports continued in Iran, in particular, the football team of the 131st Regiment held regular matches with Iranian teams. In total, in 1944-1945 there were 34 such meetings, of which our players won 30, drew two, and lost two.

Lenin in Tavistock Place (1908) and Great Percy Street (1905) London WC1 (6.4.2018)

We travelled from West Sutton to King’s Cross St Pancreas Station in West Central London, on the hunt for two blue plaques commemorating Lenin’s visits to London in 1905 and 1908. They are affixed to buildings where he stayed (possibly with other Revolutionaries such as Joseph Stalin). My partner Gee used the GPS on her mobile phone and the first plaque we located was in Tavistock Place:

USSR: Did the Soviets Find Life on Venus? (8.12.2017)

08/12/2017 Adrian (釋大道)

The authoritative Russian astronomer and Chief Researcher of the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences – Leonid Ksanfomality – has published an article in which he asserts that there may be life on Venus. The scientist analysed images transmitted from the surface of this planet by the Soviet space probe Venera-13 in 1982. On a series of successive frames (9 pictures), he discovered several objects that appear and disappear.

Invalidation of the Worker Part II - 2017

Invalidation of the Worker – Part II (4.12.2017)

04/12/2017 Adrian (釋大道)

My original article entitled The Invalidation of the Worker – A Study of Disability in Capitalist Society was published in October, 2013. It is logical to assume that as ‘Austerity’ has continued unabated, thousands of disabled who were alive to read it then, are nolonger with us now. The proliferation of articles that over-simplify and misrepresent ‘disability’ are common place within bourgeois society. Most miss the vital point of economic exclusion, and focus instead upon misguided notions of bourgeois individuality – making such puerile statements as ‘if only disabled people were viewed as individuals and not their disabilities’, or ‘disabled people should not be viewed as dysfunctional able-bodied’, and so on and so forth. It is not that there is no truth to statements such as these, but that this kind of narrative is entirely bourgeois in nature, and as such, does not address the central reality of economic exclusion. Why should a person with a disability be categorised as ‘disabled’, when ‘able-bodied’ people are only referred to in that manner, within a temporary discourse which distinguishes the non-disabled from the disabled (privileging the former and disempowering the latter). In reality this situation is a matter of Marxist-Leninist critique, and involves the exclusion of the disabled community not only from bourgeois society, but also from proletariat society.
