Alexamenos Graffito: Was the Earliest Depiction of Jesus Christ – a Crucified Man with a Donkey’s Head? (6.9.2023)

Although this object originates from the Roman graffiti scratched into the plaster of a wall found in a room of a building (the ‘domus Gelotiana’ or ‘House of Gelotian’) – situated in the Palatine Hill area of Rome (modern Italy – the object subsequently being relocated to the Palatine Museum) – it could be that the ‘artist’ was inspired by the (197 CE) writing of Tertulliani or that Tertulliani was motivated in 197 CE by the already existing graffiti. A third scenario is that Tertulliani and the graffiti are unrelated – but that both represent an underlying and common reality – the essence of which both are referencing. Depending upon the exact date – the ‘Alexamenos Graffiti’ may well be the ‘earliest’ depiction relating to Christianity – albeit in a derogatory form. The crude Greek text scratched under the cross reads ‘ΑΛΕ ΞΑΜΕΝΟϹ ϹΕΒΕΤΕ ΘΕΟΝ’ – which seems to say ‘Alexamenos Ingests [his preferred] God’.

Nick Griffin’s Weird (Racist) Religious Cult! (14.7.2023)

This descent into pseudo-religiosity is all part of the delusional world the political far-right inhabits! It is no wonder that Griffin is so wide of the Hitlerite mark that he is nolonger considered part of the legitimate conventional far-right movement in the UK – which is now led by his protégé – Mark Collett (a fascist who was once featured in glossy Sunday supplements when New Labour was in power). A pursual of this Templar website while demonstrate the ‘dishonesty’ hallmark that defines the thinking of the contemporary far-right! This Hitlerite ‘lying’ is presented through the camouflage of ‘paradox’ and ‘contradiction’. Below is an obviously misleading statement DENYING that this outfit is involved in politics – followed by obvious far-right posts made on the group’s Telegram Channel – which has Griffin’s name and image liberally dotted throughout:

Smearing of HK Judges Slammed! (15.4.2023)

The UK and US were behind the recent unrest in the Hong Kong region of Mainland China (PRC). The Western media played its part by eulogising this criminal behaviour in yet another futile attempt at bringing down the Socialist government of China! Instead of reporting on the tens of thousands of ordinary (and ‘loyal’) Hong Kong people who fought to contain this Eurocentric violence – the ‘Bourgeois’ media instead excluded this ‘majority’ of law-abiding ‘Chinese’ citizens – and focused upon the (minority) ‘criminal’ element as if these imported disruptive elements were ‘heroes’! Of course, this ‘violent’ behaviour is ‘un-Chinese’ and thoroughly ‘alien’ to the indigenous Chinese mind. Meanwhile, in the UK the far-right (White) Christian group (a member of which was responsible for murdering Labour MP – Joe Cox) – ‘Britain First’ – had one of their ‘White’ (English) members take to their Telegram Channel and attempt to impersonate an ethnic ‘Chinese’ accent! This individual is attempting to convince the ‘White’ (racist) membership that he is ‘Chinese’ (he is NOT) and that ALL ‘Chinese’ people just happen to think like mentally deficient ‘White’ (British) fascists!

Henry VIII: St Alban’s the Martyr Church (Cheam) – Constructed from a Nonsuch Royal Stable! (14.5.2023)

The wood used for the roof (and support beams) dates to about 1550 CE – and was originally a very large royal stable used by King Henry VIII and I am told – his daughter – Queen Elizabeth I! It was dismantled from its original site (adjacent to Nonsuch Palace) by Shipwrights – and brought to what was once a remote area of Cheam – and reassembled (with added contemporary brickwork) to form a very large Church! The wood would have been part of a royal forest cultivated in the area – grown to make ships, buildings and other required ‘royal’ structures! Therefore, the wood itself will be far older than the 1550 CE date the barn is believed to have been originally constructed! The beams are held together entirely by wooden-pegs – just as they were originally designned to be – with no ‘modern’ nails or connecting materials! Indeed, Shipwrights reconstructed this building as if they were building a wooden ship!

US Anti-Intelectualism: Washington’s Rules-Based World Order a Myth! (9.5.2023)

In fact, the U.S. government has a tradition of putting its domestic law above international law and selectively applies international rules as it sees fit. For example, Washington has enacted such domestic laws as the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, the Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act and the Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act to target and sanction specific countries, entities or individuals.

The ambiguous rules contained in these acts and executive orders, such as the “minimum contacts” rule and the “effects doctrine,” are a willful expansion of the jurisdiction of America’s domestic laws.

And for more than six decades, despite dozens of UN General Assembly resolutions, the United States has pressed ahead with its comprehensive blockade against Cuba, the longest and cruelest systemic trade embargo and financial sanctions in modern history, based on its embargo policies and domestic laws such as the Torricelli Act and the Helms-Burton Act. The blockade has led to over 100 billion U.S. dollars of direct losses to Cuba’s economy.

China: The Luling Iron Cross (庐陵铁十字)! (24.4.2023) 

Although there is no physical evidence of a ‘Cross’ as such, there are a number of historical texts pertaining to it. In one such Chinese language text – the object concerned is referred to as the ‘Red Iron Cross Stand’ (赤铁十字架 – Chi Tie Shi Zi Jia) – as this seems to be its proper and original designation. Indeed, a more refined date relating to this unearthed (large) Iron ‘Cross’ is that of the fourth (ruling) ‘Era’ ascribed to the reign of Emperor Sun Wu – namely that of ‘赤乌’ or ‘Chi Wu’ – (238-250 CE). Therefore, the ‘Luling Iron Cross’, or the ‘Red Iron Cross Stand’ is said to have entered China at some point within these emphasised 12-years. It would seem that this ‘Cross’ was placed atop a burial mound at Luling – within which it eventually sank. Around 1,200 years later, for reasons that are not entirely clear, this burial mound was excavated – and this ‘Cross’ was rediscovered.
