Pakistan: Samarkand Chess Olympiad 2026 – Israel “Boycotted” in Favour of “Palestine Solidarity”! (19.9.2026)

19/09/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

I had know idea historical Samarkand is now situated in the modern Nation State of Uzbekistan (a former Soviet Republic) an Islamic country. When the US and UK invaded Revolutionary Russia between 1918-1921 – the (58,000) British Army tended to manoeuvre around this general geographical area (the British committed an atrocity in Baku – Azerbaijan – by murdering unarmed Soviet POWs). So ashamed was the British Nation after this shameful event – no regiment in the British Army claim these actions as “battle honours”. The US tried to extend WWI to happening between 1914-1921 (these dates actually appear on some plaques) – but Great Britain refused this designation and limited WWI to “1914-1918” (although occasionally a plaque will read “1914-1919”) when the Soviet Red Army prevailed (the formation of the USSR was established in late 1922). Now, I know people from Pakistan sometimes access this blog – so I have added a few “Urdu” texts with English translation. Never stop learning.

UK: I Once Ran a Half-Marathon over 1 Hr 40 Mins [13.25 Miles] in Hereford During the 1980s – and Neither of My Legs Were Broken! (8.8.2026)

I was born in Oxford (Hitler bombed my mother’s family out of working-class Lewisham in 1940) – and I love the history and “learning” associated with the place (I can walk around with a book about Marx on open display and no one bats an eyelid). I did attend Oxford – but I paid to do so – as I could not attain a place due to my own limitations when I was young. It just so happened that my intellectual abilities matured at the same time when I experienced a decade of wealth. Although Oxford does discriminate, I “paid” to access a “Philosophy of Mind” course – which I passed despite not fitting-in (I was in my late 30s at the time and was surrounded by BBC executives, Guardian Reporters, and UN employees – but my family was proud). However, I was told a story of a young woman who was born into a poor working-class family and brought-up on a housing estate.

US: Hitlerite-Inspired “Enhanced Games” – Drug-Fuelled Sport Endorsed by Trump & Neo-Nazi Ukraine! (4.6.2025)

Founder Aron D’Souza believes athletes should be entitled to do what they wish with their own bodies.

But the Australian businessman’s concept has been heavily criticised for the potential impact on athletes’ health, and undermining fair play.

UK Anti-Doping (Ukad) said last year its mission was “to protect sport from doping cheats”. It added: “There is no place in sport for performance-enhancing drugs, nor the Enhanced Games.”

At a launch event on Wednesday, Las Vegas was announced as the host of the inaugural Enhanced Games, which will run from 21-24 May 2026.

Organisers said that under their permitted conditions, Greek swimmer Kristian Gkolomeev had gone quicker than the 50m freestyle world record, which has stood since 2009.

China: Explaining The West’s “Over-Production” Fear-Peddling! (3.10.2024)

03/10/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

Portraying China’s manufacturing capacity as a global risk, this narrative is a variant of the “China threat” rhetoric, with its toxic seed germinating in the hotbed of the West’s anxiety, or probably fear, due to China’s manufacturing rise.

From a low-cost manufacturing base to the world’s largest manufacturing powerhouse and an up-and-coming leader in advanced industries and innovation, China’s rapid elevation has unsettled some Western countries, who perceive it as an intolerable challenge to their industrial and trade dominance.

Responding to China’s manufacturing prowess with such apprehension smacks of hypocrisy and also ignores basic economics. China’s production capacity was seemingly not a problem at a time when many Western corporations capitalized on the country’s low-cost original equipment manufacturer (OEM) production capabilities.

Neither was it a problem when Western superiority was underlined by China having to sell a billion pairs of socks to buy a Boeing airplane, nor when China’s spare-parts production abilities helped propel worldwide sales of high-value-added products such as Apple iPhones.

Chile: 58-Year Old Chinese Ping Pong Champion Zeng Zhiyang [曾之颖] – Finally Wins Place at Paris Olympic Games! (11.7.2024)

11/07/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

He tyrannised Chile between 1973-1990 (he continued to Dictate in an advisory capacity in Chile until his arrest in 1998) – suspending liberal democracy and “disappearing” thousands of Chilean civilians! His government granted people like Zeng Zhiyang Visas to live and work in Chile – a point not even mentioned in the Guardian or the Chinese media. Indeed, Chile is still a very racist place – so racist in fact – that in 2020 Zeng zhiyang was NOT selected for the Chilean Ping Pong Olympic Squad (despite beating every player in Chile) – on the grounds that she was the “wrong race”! Following US-prompting (under Trump) the Chilean government was of the opinion that ethnic Chinese citizens “could not be trusted” when representing countries outside of China! The Guardian chooses to report this obvious racist incident as being a mere “misunderstanding”. The truth of the matter is that at 58 – Zeng Zhiyang – due to the power of Mao Zedong Thought – is still better at Ping Pong than her fellow Chilean citizens!
