UK: I Turned Myself into an AI-Generated Deathbot – Here’s What I Found! (9.2.2026)

In many ways – the fascism inherent within Zionism – is a method developed to defend Jews from outside fascism. On the face of it – these developments, as irritating as they are – do represent a type of “studied” genius. This does not mean that the religious claims of Judaism are correct – or even rational. Do not forget that the telephone was originally developed not as a means of mass communication – but rather as a method enabling living people on this plane to contact disembodied beings existing on the spiritual plane. This Christian assumption turned-out to be false – and humanity was left with a piece of technology that linked living people on this plane – regardless of distance between callers. Religious myths often serve as the starting points for advanced technological developments. I remember on the early internet (c. 2000) when people encountered one another online and acted as if we were meeting one another on the street – or in a bar – using a measured politeness. Of course, the young messed it all up because they did not know any better (it is not their fault – but our fault as elders). I suspect people cannot stand me whilst I am alive – and certainly would not like to be reminded of “me” – once I have shuffled-off this mortal coil – as Shakespeare said. My father is nearing his physical end – he knows this and is happy with it. We hate capitalism – and he said to me that all the suffering will cease with a final, outward breath. So be it.

Priest House - Easton-on-the-Hill - Family

Easton-on-the-Hill: Priest House [Chantry] 15th Century! (28.7.2025)

Although we have visited the general area a number of time – we had never seen this exhibit or been told about it. As we are currently staying in the locale – this place came-up in an internet search about something else. Like many such attractions, even at the height of Summer, there is only ever a trickle of visitors – which is a good thing for all concerned. We were handed the key, instructed to be careful on the old spiralling stone staircase, and turn-off all the lights when we are finished. There is even a toilet on site that is accessed with a key. Everything was perfectly clean, tidy, and in good order. Our two-daughters watched a short video film about the area, its history and industry! The photographs will tell the story of what we saw. A truly magnificent historical site that emerged out of the single most important and Revolutionary event (the “Dissolution of the Monasteries”) that forged modern Britain and the world!

China: 2,000-Year-Old (Qinling) Giant Panda Remains Unearthed! (3.8.2023)

Cao Long, a researcher at the Shaanxi Academy of Archaeology, said that it is not yet possible to conclude that Emperor Wendi or Empress Bo had a special preference for giant pandas. “Based on the current number of subsidiary pits and the identified animal species, it still appears to be a royal garden feature, rather than being specifically buried with giant pandas due to personal preference,” he said.

Besides the giant panda, the remains of other rare animals were found in the burial pits, including tiger, tapir, Indian wild buffalo, oryx, serow, and yak remains, which reflects the belief in the Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 220) that people will live a life in the underworld similar to when they were alive, according to the report.

A Lay-Buddhist Hakka Funeral

From a young age many Hakka people join religious groups, be they Buddhist or Christian, etc. This is not because Hakka people are overly religious (as a rule Hakka people are more practical than religious), but rather as an insurance policy for a place to live in the after-life (should such an after-life exist).
