Torbay: Dad’s Army [1975] BBC Appearance – Seaside Special! (12.11.2023)

12/11/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

Dad’s Army ran for 9 series and 80 episodes between 1968-1977. The 8th series of Dad’s Army ran between 5.9.1975-10.10.1975 (containing 6 episode) – with this appearance by two of its stars happening just one-day before the second episode was broadcast! Indeed, there would be NO Dad’s Army series for 1976 except for a Xmas Special. This had happened before when there was NO Dad’s Army series for 1971 – except for a Xmas Special – but this year also featured a cinema film for the cast! The year 1975 would feature both a Dad’s Army series AND a Xmas Special!

BMA (UK): Examples of Anti-China Racism in Dad’s Army Scripts (1968-1977) – [31/10/23]

The second round-up was perpetuated by the incumbent Labour Party in 1946 – and is the reason a ‘Chinatown’ nolonger exists in East London. During this ‘purge’ – around 2,000 Chinese people were ‘kidnapped’ by the Police (usually ‘males’ on their way to work early in the morning) – and forcibly placed on ships bound for China. Those who had ‘White’ (English) partners were visited by the British Police and Social Workers and were told that they were ‘sexual deviants’ whose ‘mixed-race’ children will be taken away and placed into ‘Care’ – if any legal challenge was raised against this government-sponsored ethnic cleansing.

How the BBC “Reckoned” with Jimmy Saville! (27.10.2023)

27/10/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

The BBC enabled and facilitated the crimes of Jimmy Saville and when his victims voiced their pain, suffering and anguish, the BBC was at the forefront of supressing these witnesses. The message of the BBC was that the Bourgeois is in control of this society – and that the BBC supports that self-declared role. The ordinary people – those who were the victims of Jimmy Saville – were portrayed by the BBC as powerless and existing only to serve as play-things for the Bourgeoisie. When Jimmy Saville died in 2011 – the BBC deliberately ‘celebrated’ his life and ignored the reality of his offending. Today, some 12-years after his death, the BBC is attempting to absolve its own reputation by creating the false narrative that the BBC was just as much a victim of Jimmy Saville as everyone else. Jimmy Saville and the BBC represent exactly the same reality.

Richard Hunn: The South-Paw Guitar Player! (15.10.2023)

15/10/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

his is how I ended-up training under Mangala Thero (in 1996) at the Ganga Ramaya Temple (in Beruwela) – situated in Sri Lanka. I have subsequently discovered that Mangala Mahathero has passed away after spending the last decade of his life living and meditating in isolation. I am told that Richard Hunn would sit ‘still’ for hours on end in various Zen Temples throughout the Kyoto area. Although outwardly he was practicing ‘Zen’ – inwardly he was practicing ‘Caodong’ Ch’an – the preferred lineage of Master Xu Yun (1840-1959). Although none of us know how long we will be on this Earth – we must remain vigilant and use our time effectively and productively! Not a single second must be wasted when it comes to self-cultivation! Instead of reading this board – look within! Richard Hunn was my academic and spiritual teacher between 1989-2006. He taught me to read and translate properly every modern and traditional Chinese language ideogram – whilst also conveying to me the teachings of the authentic Chinese Ch’an Buddhist tradition!

03/10/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

The content reviews Alexander Werth’s experience in the USSR during 1942, emphasizing his perspective on the pivotal Battle for Stalingrad. Werth’s proximity to the Soviet media and front-line individuals makes his narrative valuable amid Western-dominated narratives. The author emphasizes the indispensable role of the Communist Party in the Soviet people’s resistance against fascism.

ALEXANDER WERTH [PART II]: RUSSIAN ARCTIC CONVOY PQ-16 – Reykjavik (Iceland) TO MURMANSK (USSR) – MERCHANT NAVY SHIP “EMPIRE BAFFIN”! (2.9.2023)

03/10/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

Alexander Werth’s 1947 book, ‘The Year of Stalingrad’, details the journey of Merchant Navy Ship “Empire Baffin” during WWII. The ship left Middlesborough, UK, for Reykjavik on May 1, 1942, arriving ten days later, and then sailed to Murmansk, USSR, on May 20th. Despite Nazi Germany’s control of the sea, air, and land, and losing seven ships, the Convoy PQ-16 of 36 international ships managed to reach port under the protection of naval fleets.
