1990s – SANGHA KOMMUNE (SSR)

The wooden coffin was on display in the Egypt and Sudan collections

UK: Why Museum’s Last Mummy Has Been Taken-Off Display! (14.9.2026)

14/09/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

When I was in Egypt during the mid-1990s, I found the local Egyptians would allow virtually anything just as long as you gave them money. In airports that served Westerners – the toilets would have no toilet-paper. Egyptian “attendants” would discreetly wait until a Westerner locked the door of a convenience and then knock on the door and offer sheets of toilet paper delivered under the door for a specified amount (usually Egyptian pound notes). This is the level of cheapness we are dealing with. Virtually anything was for sale in Islamic Egypt as the Arabs who control the country now have nothing to do with pyramid-building or the Pharaohs. We saw mummy after mummy on display as we traversed around (Egypt remains the only country where I was questioned by the Airport Authorities – and asked to explain “why” I was in a “mixed-ethnicity” marriage). Knowing what I know about the shallowness of contemporary Egyptian culture – I find the pretentious bourgeois attitude relayed below to be bordering on the laughable. Why would modern Egyptians care about the remains of a different ethnic group, whose religion they do not follow or care about? Muslims over the recent centuries have damaged the pyramids they now exploit to a remarkable degree. It is funny the BBC does mention this aspect.

US: Public Access – “How Do Magnets Work?” (4.6.2026)

04/06/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

. The USSR had a free book-publishing system that permitted any citizen to use to write, publish, and read a book entirely at the government’s expense. This was introduced early in the history of the USSR and effectively broke the monopoly once enjoyed by the profit-seeking publisher. In the US, citizens were permitted to access TV broadcasting frequencies – either free or at very little expense – which allowed locally made TV programmes to be shown to whoever wanted to watch them outside of the commercially-controlled mainstream system – as no official or corporate advertising was permitted on Public Access. Above, we see a Christian Preacher asked by a random caller “How Do Magnets Work?” This is one of the funniest – and yet poignant questions I have ever heard. Beautiful spamming in the US even prior to the internet.

Uyghur People Are Loyal and Hard-Working!

China: 17-Years Fighting Bloody “East Turkestan” Terrorism in Xinjiang! (11.2.2025)

11/02/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

This article is from 2007 – but like many older Chinese language texts from the PRC – it has only recently been made available for viewing in the West. The data it contains is important and historical in nature – recording China’s experience fighting US-backed Islamo-fascist terrorism in Xinjiang. Islamic terrorists, quite often NOT Uyghur – but claiming to represent “Eastern Turkestan” (a fictional country said in-part to exist within Xinjiang territory) – are armed and trained by the US and Turkey outside of China (through Taliban, ISIS and Al Qaeda networks) before being infiltrated into Xinjiang to carry-out mass murder of innocent civilians. The purpose of ETIM is to assist the US in the overthrow of the Socialist System in China. In assistance of this US anti-China policy – Turkey is attempting a huge land-grab in North-West China.

UK: “Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now!” Especially For Gee (from the Kids) – Remembering Spectrum Radio! (1.2.2025)

01/02/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

In the old days there was a thing called “Spectrum Radio” (I think on AM) that used to separate the 24-hour cycle into 24 different hours broadcasting music in languages different to English. I believe “Cantonese” (kind of our local Hong Kong language – despite being Hakka with a distinct language of our own) – was broadcast in the evening between 6pm – 7pm. In the early 1990s, I used to teach ethnic Chinese children English in the Sutton area. In the evening, our local Chinese community was much larger then than now – and we used to visit one another for dinner and a cup of tea. On occasion, and long before we were married, me and Gee used to listen to Spectrum Radio together – listening to contemporary (English) tracks rendered into Cantonese. Gee remembers “My Heart Will Go On” (Celine Dion) – the theme from the hit Movie “Titanic” – sang in Cantonese! Our children – Mei-An and Kai-Lin – have designed a post on this blog around our memories!

Peace & Love to Radio DJ Steve Wright [1954-2024]! (15.2.2024)

15/02/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

Perhaps there was an ‘Earlier Steve Wright’ and a ‘Latter Steve Wright’ (just like Wittgenstein) – as I am told he was working for the BBC in the 1980s well before I knew of him (I used to listen to Adrian Juste, Kenny Everett and Radio Moscow under the bedclothes at night) during that time. Whilst engaged in reclusive (academic) studies, Steve Wright would accompany me through a strict study and keep-fit regimen. When not reading and writing – I would be lifting weights and practicing martial arts movements, etc. Steve Wright and his humour would align with the freshness and beauty of Spring and Summer – and lift us out of the inherent misery of Autumn and Winter! Lastly, when the capitalist world was going through an orgy of self-congratulation following the collapse of the USSR in 1991 – Steve Wright continued to point-out (in a humorous and acceptable manner) all the inconsistencies that still lay within the capitalist system. As to whether this was his intention I do not know. As he was earning over £400,000 per year – I suspect not.

Rwanda: The [2021] Beating Case Involving Mine-Owner Sun Shujun (孙树军)! (4.12.2023)

04/12/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

According to African media reports, the Chinese businessman’s name is “Sun Shujun” (孙树军), and he is the Manager of a mine in Western Rwanda. In 2021, a video of Sun Shujun whipping a (thieving) Rwandan-worker tied a pole – was posted on social networking sites – causing an uproar. When the Rwandan people killed one another in the millions during the 1990s (during tribal-orientated genocides) – the Courts at that time emphasised the ancient African wisdom of “Peace” and “Reconciliation”. Obviously, as can be seen from the case of Sun Shujun – such a mature and admirable form of African justice does not apply to non-African people.
