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)

Chris Chan [☨陳]* – Following the Light of the Candle! (3.9.2023)

03/09/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

A few years ago – I was contacted by a friend in China who asked me who this Western person was who has a Chinese surname (‘陳’ or ‘Chan’ the same name as that used in my family). I was intrigued, as the person in question seemingly pronounced the Chinese language ideogram ‘陳’ in exactly the same way as the Chinese branch of my family does, denoting a Hong Kong, New Territories or Guangdong (Cantonese) origination. Indeed, within North China – the ideogram ‘陳’ is usually referred to as ‘Chen’ (particularly in the Putonghua ‘Official’ language usage) – although in the Hokkien dialect of Southern Chinese Fujian province it becomes ‘Tan’ (in Vietnam it is ‘Van’), etc. Historically, and in one way or another we are all related – although the Sai Kung (New Territories) ‘Chan’ people are of ‘Hakka’ – or of Middle to North China origination! Although the Hakka people are part of the Han majority that comprise the Chinese people – there are persistent rumours that in the distant past some DNA influences within the Hakka genetic identity originate outside of North China and could well have involved typically non-Chinese traits (such as those found in Europe and Africa, etc).

London (Green Park): Canada Memorial (WWI & WWII) – Memorial du Canada! (25.8.2023)

26/08/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

This sculptured memorial is constructed of red granite which forms a ‘walkway’ divided into two distinct halves. One half represents Britain whilst the other half represents Canada and the two country’s joint participation in WWI and WWII. The inclined sculpture is inset with 506 bronze maple leaves (the Canadian emblem) and the country’s coat of arms. Water flows across the sloping surface and creates an illusion of floating leaves. Situated to the rear of the Canada Memorial is Buckingham Palaces,

Poland: Ukrainian Neo-Nazi Axe-Man Takes to the Streets! (5.4.2023)

04/05/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

Indeed, a fine example of Hitlerite manhood stripped down to his underwear (in true US superhero style) and began to swing an axe around whilst threatening to decapitate attending Police Officers! Once a sizable crowd had gathered (involving members of the Press) – he took the opportunity to forcibly complain about the free house and car he had been given on arrival – as it is nowhere near ‘big enough’ to meet his future needs! Why is this – you might ask yourself? Well, you see he intends to bring ten of his relatives to join him in Poland in the near future – and he does not want to work for a living!

Joseph McCabe: The Anatomy of an Anti-Soviet ‘Lie’! (18.3.2023)

18/03/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

The point being here, that for all his evilness – Adolf Hitler (who really did ‘kill’ verified millions) – is far more acceptable to the Bourgeoisie once his ‘National Socialist’ regime has been militarily defeated (ironically by the ‘Socialists’), and its threat to the dominance of the world ‘capitalism’ firmly removed! In Russia and China no one believes that their greatest leaders killed millions of people – as there are no bodies, no graves and no grieving masses. The Bourgeoisie, realising the practical weakness in their argument, decided that in Cambodia (Kampuchea) a new approach was needed – and the remains of the tens of thousands of innocent Cambodians killed in the illegal blanket-bombing (and military invasions) of that that country carried-out by the US during the Vietnam War – were simply ‘piled-up’ for tourists to gawk at – and see just how ‘evil’ Socialism can be!

China: L’Internationale – All Humanity Are Comrades! (8.12.2022)

08/12/2022 Adrian (釋大道)

Translator’s Note: This is how we respond to the hatred, lies, war and genocide perpetuated by predatory capitalism and its fascist perpetuators – regardless of the time and space they manifest and exist – or the endless atrocities they commit! Down with capitalism, imperialism, poverty and exploitation! Down with Trotskyism – and onward to genuine Revolution! Although the Imperial Japanese caused a great suffering throughout the world – many of their dead soldiers were found to have Communist literature in their pockets – and this worried the US Government (which had ordered the shooting of as many wounded Japanese POWs as possible)! This ‘capitalist’ fear led to the dropping of two atom bombs on a non-White country (Japan) – when this country possessed absolutely NOTHING to fight back with! Yes – the Japanese committed the Nanjing Massacre in 1937 – but we must not forget that the Japanese worker is also our Comrade and that he and she are also the victims of self-imposed feudalism, (Western) imperialism and capitalist oppression! We respond to the terror of ‘fascism’ with the love and forgiveness of ‘Internationalism’ – and we hold higher the Red Flag of Freedom! ACW (8.12.2022)
