1974 USSR Passport Recognised Until 2009!

Russia: How President Putin Recognised [1974] USSR Passports! (26.9.2025)

26/09/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

The Soviet Union, through the correct application of dialectical materialism, and despite two genocidal invasions (the first being the collective West 1918-1921 – and the second Nazi Germany and her fascist Catholic allies 1941-1945) – performed a socio-economic miracle by bringing Russia and its surrounding countries firmly into the 20th century and the modern era. Perhaps women and girls were the greatest recipients of Socialist civility and progression. Whereas the West only issued Passports to the rich to travel externally to and from their countries – Lenin had the idea that everyone in the USSR should automatically be granted a free Passport that recorded their name, address, date of birth, ethnicity, and religion.

A Saturday Morning Trip to the Honey-Shop!

The Galmpton “Honour System” – Walking to the Honey-Shop on a Saturday Morning! (30.8.2025)

30/08/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

Having stayed in Galampton a number of times now – my parent’s house is full of various medical paraphernalia – we noticed a sign (one of many) outside a beautiful brick-work #(chocolate-box) cottage – advertising local honey. Although this sign is a permanent fixture, we were never quite sure if the honey is available all year round – and we did not want to bother the owners. I could just imagine a startled villager as their sedate and isolated cottage is over-ran by a loud South London family – and their two-dogs!

Paignton: The Gurkha Curry! (27.8.2025)

27/08/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

This is a very sought after place with tables having to be booked weeks in advance. The cuisine is Nepalese (Gurkha) and is exceptionally good. The children enjoyed the rice and poppadoms – and it was a good experience for them. I was shocked to learn that the average price of a burger nowadays is around £8! Can you believe that! Even curries are not that cheap nowadays and so I am grateful we were guests and not hosts. As my mother is bed-bound abs could not attend in person – we ordered a curry to take home for her! We had a wonderful time surrounded by our family.

Rolling Stone: The Horror of the Israeli Killing Field in Gaza! (18.8.2025)

18/08/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

Earlier this week, as President Donald Trump attempted to enforce a ceasefire between Israel and Iran, reports emerged that dozens of Palestinians — as many as 50 — as well as three aid workers, were killed by IDF gunfire while awaiting aid in Southern Gaza. Similar massacres are taking place on a near daily basis.

“They talk about using artillery on a junction full of civilians as if it’s normal,” one military source told Haaretz of a meeting they attended with leaders of the IDF’s Southern Command. “An entire conversation about whether it’s right or wrong to use artillery, without even asking why that weapon was needed in the first place. What concerns everyone is whether it’ll hurt our legitimacy to keep operating in Gaza. The moral aspect is practically non-existent. No one stops to ask why dozens of civilians looking for food are being killed every day.”

Markers of the callousness in the IDF’s operations within Gaza continue to elicit shock after more than a year of brutality. One source who spoke to Haaretz indicated that the militarized aid operation in his region of Gaza has a name: Operation Salted Fish.

A new study by homelessness charity Crisis found that among older low-income earners, one in five feared homelessness in their retirement, and many say they cannot afford to stop working.

“A generation once thought to be safe from our housing crisis is now increasingly being swept up in it and at real risk of homelessness,” it concludes.

Francesca Albanese, executive director of policy and social change at Crisis, told Sky News: “Most people are thinking they will go into later life with savings and security, and actually the cost of housing alongside lower wages is meaning that for lots more people that just isn’t an option.”
