UK: Ask Jeeves Was My First Search-Engine” (4.5.2026)

04/05/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

My mother – Diane Wyles – gave each of her children a “Web TV” to quickly get us all online. This was a small metal box that we connected to the TV which allowed the internet to appear on the screen. We then wrote messages and asked questions via a remote-controlled keypad. All this seemed very advanced at the time – even though the dial-up was analogue and only one person could be online at a time. This was before Google cornered the market and before the bourgeoisie had developed the technology for capitalism to colonise the net and the media to swamp it with false news and disinformation. In just 25-years we lost the freedom the net gave us to defy our own national governments. The status quo has now been re-affirmed and it is business as usual.

Memorial Stone for the Crew of the CSS HL Hunley!

CSA: Remembering the CSS HL Hunley – Confederate Submarine Recovered in 2000! (8.4.2025)

08/04/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

These were the last Confederate soldiers to be laid to rest in the US. They were buried in 2004 in Charleston – with over ten thousand people attending – many carrying Confederate flags. The official US government stance was one of indifference and perhaps embarrassment (the US was busy illegally invading Iraq and Afghanistan – falsely blaming both countries for the September 11th World Trade Centre Attacks). One of the submarine crew – “C Lumpkin” – was British (images of what the crew looked like have been created), whilst two others (of the eight-man crew) were also non-American (“Corporal Johan Frederik Carlsen” was Danish – whilst “Arnold Becker” was Germany). In other words, three of the eight were foreign – and I know that people came from Ireland (which was then under British control) and from Mainland Britain to join the Confederate Cause.

PFLP Statement - Zionist Defeat in 2000!

PFLP: Defeat & Expulsion of the Zionist Army from Lebanese Territory During 2000 – A Decisive Strategic Shift in the Arab-Zionist Conflict! (24.5.2024)

25/05/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine considered that the defeat of the Zionist Enemy Army – driving the invaders from large parts of the Occupied Lebanese Territories, on May 25th, 2000 – as a qualitative and historical achievement, military victory, and a strategic transformation in the history of the Arab-Zionist conflict! This was achieved thanks to the steadfastness and sacrifices of the brotherly Lebanese people and their valiant Resistance which began during the first moments of the Zionist invasion of Lebanon in 1982. That Resistance disturbed and routed the Zionist Occupation, inflicted on it heavy losses, and destroyed forever the myth of the “Invincible Army”! The memory of the people of Beirut still preserves the calls and pleas of the (cowardly) Zionist Enemy Army through loudspeakers as it shouted in the streets: “Oh people of Beirut, do not shoot at us.

China: The “1·23” Self-Immolation Incident Exposed the True Evil Face of “Falun Gong Cult”! (6.2.2024)

06/02/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

On January 23rd, 2001, seven “Falun Gong” addicts from Kaifeng City, Henan Province, were so beguiled by Li Hongzhi’s fallacies and heresies – that they set themselves on fire in Tiananmen Square, Beijing! One person was burned to death on the spot – whilst four others were severely burned (12-year-old Liu Siying later died after resuscitation failed). Two other Falun Gong Cult victims were stopped in time. This is the so-called “1.23” Self-Immolation Incident – a Cult-related crime that shocked China and the world. Today, 23-years have passed since the “1.23” Self-Immolation Incident took place – but the painful lessons are still with each and every one of us.

Russia: President Putin “Revokes” Russia’s Ratification of “Nuclear Test Ban” Treaty! (3.11.2023)

03/11/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

The Kremlin had stated earlier that Russia’s withdrawal from the treaty would not imply the restoration of nuclear tests.

Chairman of the State Duma Vyacheslav Volodin said Moscow had been waiting for Washington to ratify the treaty for 23 years, but the United States had demonstrated its irresponsible approach towards global security issues.

The CTBT is a multilateral agreement that bans all nuclear explosion tests conducted for peaceful or military purposes.

WWII: My Tribute to the Excellent British ‘Home Guard’ (LDVF) and Some of My Published Work! (6.10.2023)

06/10/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

My maternal (‘Gibson’) family used to live in Lewisham, East London – until they were bombed-out by Hitler during the Blitz of September 1940 (the Blitz would go on to kill 70,000 British people between 1940-1941 – with 40,000 deaths in London alone). The Gibson family were then evacuated to the ‘Forest Hill’ area of Oxfordshire – due to them having a ‘nephew’ living in the area. In 1983, a book focusing on local history was commissioned entitled ‘Forest Hill with Shotover – A Portrait (1983)’. This was published by the ‘Forest Hill Women’s Association’. The Story of my grandfather – Arthur Gibson – and his family arriving in the area is recorded on Pages 28-29
