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)

Will Historical Evidence Demonstrate that King Arthur was a Historical “Celtic” Figure? (28.9.2023)

28/09/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

A long overdue study of ‘Celtic’ King’s, Queens, Princes and Princesses who lived and ruled in Cornwall, Devon, Somerset and Wales during the 5th and 6th centuries CE! Modern archaeologists know of these graves but are not encouraged to investigate the burials due to these people being ‘Celtic’ – and not directly linked to the Anglo-Saxons, Normans, Dutch and modern Germans who formed the ‘official’ royal lineages. Genetic study of the DNA of the early (“Celtic”) populations of the British Isles (c, 10,000 BP – or 8,000 BCE) has confirmed that the skin “tone” or “colour” of these people was “dark to black”! Overtime, presumably through the effects of exposure to climate and “mixing” with other ethnic groups – the skin-tone “lightened”.

The memorial was unveiled on 16 March 1921 by Admiral Sir Arthur Henry Limpus KCMG, CB and dedicated by the Archdeacon of Kingston, Robert Charles Joynt.The carving and erection were carried out by a local mason Mr Snook of nearby Worcester Park. Among the dead commemorated on the memorial was Flight-Commander F A Brock (son of Brock of Brocks fireworks manufacturers) who invented the smoke screen. Following the Second World War, three names of those who lost their lives in that war were also added.

Why China Should Use ‘British’ English in its Official Translations! (11.9.2023)

11/09/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

Furthermore, there is no such entity as ‘British’ English – as this is an insulting designation that reduces our original language of ‘English’ to a relative construct, or just one version amongst many. This is similar to reducing Chinese script to the scripts as developed by its Korean or Japanese cousins. Indeed, American-English is a vehicle which has been historically developed and designed to express a) US anti-intellectualism, and b) US racial (anti-Chinese) attitudes. This is why I reject the Chinese State habit of officially using ‘American-English’ when translating Chinese-language articles into ‘English’. The English language as spoken and written in the UK is ancient and historically pre-exists any modern notions of Western racism (unlike its Ameican counter-part – which expresses the racism within which US culture has developed). Therefore, the English as used in the UK possesses a historical ‘strength in depth’ – that can be moulded in any direction as required.

China: Ministry of State Security (MSS) Detects CIA Penetration of Mainland! (22.8.2023)

22/08/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

Li Jun revealed to Hao that he was a member of the CIA’s Tokyo station. He hoped Hao to join him and asked Hao to work in a core department of China after returning to China. Hao agreed and signed an espionage agreement with the U.S. side and accepted the assessment and training from the U.S.

After returning to China, Hao managed to work in a nation-level department and continued to meet secretly with CIA personnel many times in China, providing a large amount of China’s confidential information to the U.S. and collecting espionage funds from the CIA.

Contextualising ‘On the Jewish Question’ By Karl Marx! (2.7.2023)

04/07/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

Questioning the mythology of religion is an important and vital aspect of ‘freedom of thought’ and does not constitute an ‘attack’ upon religiosity. Questioning the legitimacy of religious belief is an important component of a liberal society as it prevents religious groupings from ‘justifying’ criminal acts based solely upon the idea that an ‘immunity’ from prosecution is in effect premised upon the mere holding of a ‘religious’ belief! A ‘religious’ and ‘irreligious’ individual, (living within a Bourgeois State), should be held liable for their actions in front of exactly the same Secular Law. To this end, this is a text rich in insight written by a young Karl Marx just out of University and on the brink of marrying Jenny Westphalia. Perhaps there is something of the love and light euphoria of those times – which emanates from the pen of Marx!
