The Other “Richard Hunne” [d. 1514]! (14.4.2024)

14/04/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

The Secular Court case against the murderers of Hunne was continuously adjourned so that NO decision was ever reached (with the accused being quietly pardoned and released) – whilst Parliament’s order for the Church to return the Hunne land and property was never obeyed by the Church. Such a situation represented a totalitarian Canon’s Law controlled by a foreign power (which exempted all clerics from Secular Law) – locked in a deadly competition with the local power of an absolute monarchy – which would eventually end with the destruction of the Catholic Church in England just twenty-years later (through the Dissolution of the Monasteries) and the abolition of the resultant Church of England around one-hundred years after that (During the English Civil Wars)! Such was the dialectic times that Richard Hunne existed!

Shakespeare: Mark Twain Was On the Scent! (12.3.2024)

12/03/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

Only then did the newly franchised Bourgeoisie begin to routinely mimic the upper-class they had politically replaced as controllers of the means of production – following the 1649 CE execution of King Charles I – and extensively educate their children in literacy (and all kinds of other academic subjects). After 1649 CE – this type of Bourgeois education slowly began to develop – but certainly did not happen to any great extent prior to this date. In this regard, Shakespeare seems historically out-of-place – like a technologically sophisticated and advanced artefact discovered on the floor of an ancient cave – how did such an object arrive in this position?

Shogun: Exposing & Resisting Disney-fication! (7.3.2024)

On the other hand, if US-born (Asian) actors – pretending to be a) Japanese and b) medieval – presses your buttons then this show is definitely for you. An extra treat is in store if you like random White (European) people pretending to be a) English, and b) Elizabethan. The fact Japan is currently (and deliberately) pumping nuclear waste into the South China Sea has much to do with the manner in which this mini-series has been received. This happens at a time when Japan continues to antagonise China by refusing to acknowledge internationally recognised boundaries – whilst not apologising for WWII atrocities! A positive US decreed media consensus has declared this piece of parody (and Eurocentric mimicry) to be universally a ‘great success’.

Church of England: Peter John Ball – Bishop-Fantasist and Convicted Sex Offender! (18.11.2023)

18/11/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

The Church of England – even in its modern incarnation – possesses NO ecclesiastical agency to possess a ‘monastic’ branch. Indeed, through its very origin (the ‘Dissolution of the Monasteries’) – the Church of England can NOT even pretend to possess a monastic calling! Why then, was the paedophile-priest – Peter John Ball – allowed to pretend that he had founded a ‘Monastic Order’? Well, as a CofE Bishop – Peter John Ball was allowed to play-out his fantasies of being a ‘monk’ – just as he was allowed to play-out his deviant sexual fantasies upon the naked bodies of unsuspecting young males! To aid him in this sickness – Peter John Ball – looked for inspiration from the Catholic Church, a corrupt institution that has been abusing children and young people for centuries. When Peter John Ball was asked by Terry Wogan why it was that he ‘founded’ a ‘new’ monastic order – a measure of Ball’s dishonesty can be ascertained by what he does NOT say in his answer. Ball does NOT state that he had to ‘invent’ a new monastic order because the CofE that made him a Bishop does NOT possess or allow for a monastic order. This is why he looked toward the Catholic ‘Benedictines’ when he concocted his so-called ‘Community of the Glorious Ascension’!

The Clan Gibson of Sutton! (9.11.2023)

09/11/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

Our branch of the Gibson family is recorded as having been ‘rope-makers’ and are believed to have originally migrated out of Scotland hundreds of years ago – and to have ‘walked’ down through England until they eventually settled in East London. This is a journey that took decades and involved small clusters settling here and there. Featured is out Scottish Tartan – but as ‘Gibson’ is of Viking heritage – the Vikings settled in both England and Scotland at different times and during the centuries prior to the Norman Conquest of 1066 CE. As the Normans were Vikings who had settled in France – this adds yet another level of transmission. The ‘Son of Gibb’ was thought to have been a mighty Viking warrior!

Genius of Alexis Godillot: A History of the French Attaché (and English “Brief”) Case – and Why Shoes Fit on the “Left” & “Right” Foot! (29.10.2023)

29/10/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

The original article (reproduced here and referenced below) states:

‘In 1826, Godillot had another bright idea – developing a lightweight case with a hinged iron frame and a carpet covering. He had conceived it as being ideal for hunting and fishing – since these activities required lots of equipment but were too rugged for traditional trunks.’

As Alexis Godillot was born in 1816 – it is unlikely that he would have invented the Attaché Case in 1826 aged just “10-years old”! In fact, evidence suggests that Alexis Godillot invented the Attaché Case around 1843 – when Godillot was aged around 27-years old. The problem with this history is that sources state that Godillot founded a luggage firm (with his son) in 1843 – but if this was the case – his son could not have been older than 9-10-years old! What follows is essentially an informative advertisement – which I do NOT endorse. It is merely a convenient (but flawed) vehicle that conveys the fascinating history of the French inventor – Alexis Godillot! ACW (29.10.2023)
