Greek Bird

Daoism Email: Birds Sing in China – Birds Sing in Greece! (14.7.2025)

We do not charge money when sharing knowledge – and as long as we can afford the hosting fees – this website will remain open and free to use for everyone! Even if a time comes when this is no longer possible – I hope the articles will have been copied and passed on as is for the general benefit of humanity. Remember, breathing costs nothing, and being aware of breathing costs nothing – so there is no profit margin! Away with all the charlatans of the world and those who try to sell you your own bodily processes! A cultivated wisdom sees through this kind of inherent ignorance which is a sign of the times.

Silversea - Animal Policy

Silversea Onboard Animal Policy – the “Elephant” in the Room – Plus Silversea Response! (21.3.2025)

I was enthralled to see a fine pair of elephants (good ivory – strong stature) featured on the Silversea online website – next to the description of the cruise-ship entertainment and various other distractions (including a breeding-pair of Polar Bears – I believe). May I take this opportunity to enquire as to what is the policy for animals being onboard? Although I am a little out-of-date, I am told the odd ship might possess a parrot to keep the children engaged – but am musing as to whether the new cruise-ships – being as spacious as they are – could also contain some type of Zoo? 

Alexander Werth: German Crimes in the Soviet Union! (30.7.2023)

In fact, having looked through all the Alexander Werth books I possess in my library – NONE use the term ‘Holocaust’ – despite the fact Werth wrote extensively about the atrocities committed by the Nazi Germans. He was the first BBC Correspondent to make a report (in 1944) when he encountered the ‘Majdanek’ Death Camp in Poland. As a Journalist ‘Specialising’ in the USSR – Werth made a point of carefully examining the Hitlerite murder and maiming of the 41 million Soviet men, women and children which suffered during WWII. Nowhere does Werth use the term ‘Holocaust’. Finally, David Irving’s book regarding the biography of Josef Goebbels states that 26 high-ranking Nazi German Military Officers were captured by the Soviet NKVD – and whilst under intense interrogation – all admitted participating in the ‘1941’ mass execution of Polish officers at Katyn! Goebbels was concerned that his carefully crafted ‘lie’ about the Soviets committing this crime would now be undermined!
