How Confederate General “Stonewall” Jackson Overcame Disability! (20.11.2024)

20/11/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

The Ancient Greek idea of inner strength – mediated through a cultivated wisdom – was the Classical model Stonewall Jackson used to enhance his own health and social standing. Due to his honesty and humility, those who personally encountered his personality were always drawn toward his charisma. Although his family were not willing to “waste” money on a military education for their son, a friend of the family was made aware of an unusual Scholarship being offered which permitted “one” successful candidate to enter West Point to train as an “Officer” in the US Army. Around five very clever men competed for this Scholarship – and it was predictably won by an impoverished “Lawyer”. However, this “Lawyer” came from a privileged background and lasted just one-day when subjected to military discipline at West Point. The Scholarship was once again thrown open to the four remaining men – through another round of examinations – and Stonewall Jackson prevailed. This is how Stonewall Jackson gained access to West Point.

Software Ban Threatens China-US Ties – Again! (26.8.2024)

Non-White migrants coming into White (capitalist) societies exist only to make “profit” – and use that money to build a self-contained bubble of contentment around themselves and their families, etc, to the exclusion of all others. This reality comes about due to the racial exclusion non-White people experience. On top of this, some Chinese people reject Socialism and throw their lot in with the anti-Chinese attitudes of the West. A capitalist-preferring Chinese person will suffer exactly the same racism as does the pro-Socialist Chinese person at the hands of the “White” American system. China’s eulogising of commerce in general – and its admiration for the US system particularly – will not change any of these Eurocentric attitudes. America has made its position clear many decades ago and it seems odd that China would continuously react affronted – every time the Americans behave true to form! Mao Zedong would never have allowed this position of weakness to occur.

JP Morgan - Cornerstone of US Neo-Imperialism!

Russia: Court Freezes J.P. Morgan Funds! (25.4.2024)

In response, J.P. Morgan filed a lawsuit against VTB, demanding an end to its request for the 440 million dollars. The claim was submitted to the federal court in Manhattan. J.P. Morgan asserted that VTB had agreed to the account management terms when it opened a correspondent account for transaction processing in 2008. Under the terms, the account would be governed by U.S. laws and could be frozen if required due to sanctions.

VTB was subjected to sanctions by the United States, Britain, and the EU in the spring of 2022. The sanctions involve asset freezes and a prohibition of transactions with these assets by individuals and legal entities from those countries.

Damascus: Mr. Luis Rodriguez (Cuban Ambassador) – Receives Delegation from the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine! (12.10.2023)

Al-Taher added that the United States of America actually entered the war by encouraging this (fascist) Zionist aggression and providing all forms of military support to the Occupation. The Americans view these fascist (Zionist) criminals as heroes – such is their deficient attitude!

For his part, the Cuban Ambassador affirmed Cuba’s full support for the Palestinian people – who are waging a heroic battle to regain all their national rights, stressing the importance of the Unity of the Palestinian Factions in the face of aggression – and stressing that all free and honourable people in the world stand by the just struggle waged by the people of Palestine.

US: 2022 All-Time “High” Suicide Rate – “Not Biden’s Fault”! (28.8.2023)

Karen Cassiday, a clinical psychologist and managing director of the Anxiety Treatment Centre of Greater Chicago and past president of the Anxiety and Depression Association of America, said the pandemic was detrimental to the overall mental health of people in the US. She advised anyone who needs it to seek help.

Historically, “the norm for any population is to show some impairment in mental health when a mass event occurs, such as famine or war”, she said. “After six months most people adapt, and the general population returns to its normal pre-event level of mental health.”

However, in the case of the pandemic, this did not occur. “The pandemic had several unique characteristics that lent themselves to triggering anxiety, depression. Anxiety disorders do not go away on their own. They can be readily treated.”

World Insights: Fentanyl – Solely A Homegrown US problem – So Why Blame China? (19.7.2023)

CHEAP, ABUNDANT STREET DRUGS

Fentanyl and its derivatives sufentanil, alfentanil and remifentanil are all synthetic phenypiperidine drugs, which are synthetic opioid receptor agonists.

A painkiller for countless patients, fentanyl has many side effects. The drug has gradually become a menace to social security across the United States, a society long plagued by opioid addiction and abuse.

Statistics by the Council on Foreign Relations in April indicated that opioids, primarily fentanyl, are the leading cause of U.S. overdose deaths, which have roughly quadrupled over the last ten years for which data is fully available. In 2021, the death toll surged to 80,411, more than 10 times the number of U.S. military service members killed in the post-9/11 wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

There have been three waves of opioid abuse in U.S. society, with fentanyl being the “main character” of the third wave.
