UK: Sultanas & Lemons – Corbyn & Co Head to the Elephant’s Graveyard! (21.9.2025)

21/09/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

I have seen this cycle of political abuse unfold in the UK liberal democratic system so many times – that I am beginning to think that there must be an elephant’s graveyard somewhere near Westminster where old, wounded, or decrepit far-left leaders go to die. Perhaps Johnny Weissmuller’s “Tarzan” will follow one of them into that special grove – just over the rainbow bridge – where all the Red Ivory will be neatly stacked. Having lived as long as I have, I watch the faces of the innocent youth with sympathy as they discover (for the first-time) how UK political corruption works. Seeing the sorrow and disappointment on their fresh-faces is heart-wrenching to say the least. As a person with experience – all I can tell them is to a) get use to betrayal, and b) learn to hold the line in the face of adversity. Giving them undue comfort now – would prove disempowering for them in the future. In the future they must be stronger than they are now to face the challenges they will have to face – when my generation is gone.

North Devon: St Peter’s Church – Bratton Fleming! (26.8.2025)

26/08/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

This must be the most spectacular integration of religion and secularism. I never thought I would live to see the Church of England finally give-up their last line of sanctity and allow all and sundry to stay as many nights as they can afford – and do whatever they like during their stay – providing the interior of the Church is not damaged. As an academic who uses the average Church as an early form of a search-engine – I find this a fascinating opportunity – albeit slightly disturbing and a little bizarre. Theravada Buddhist Temples, of course, allow practitioners to stay within their interiors – being fed and cared for free – providing there is space. Absolutely NO money is asked for or required (a Buddhist monastic must not touch money of any type). Not all Buddhist Temples follow this idea outside of Thailand, Sri Lanka, or Laos, etc, but they should do.

China: Trump’s Announcement to Withdraw from UNESCO Not Responsible! (25.7.2025)

25/07/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

After the death of Roosevelt and the election of the right-wing Christian “Truman” post-WWII – overt US agitation against the “Internationalist” principles of the United Nations (UN) began with a vengeance on the grounds that “Internationalism” was a key ideological demand of the Soviet Socialist System. As the primary armed force which took-on, confronted, and then defeated Nazi Germany (and its allies) during WWII – the USSR had a substantial philosophical input in the post-WWII world order. At least for a few years after 1945 – before the US realised the true extent of the political power its deployed army throughout the world granted the White House.

London: Cash-Strapped TFL “Rents” Publicly owned “Stations” to Fill Funding Shortfall! (28.8.2024)

28/08/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

A TfL spokesperson said: “Partnerships like this help us and brands positively engage with the hundreds of thousands of people who pass through our stations in a fun and playful way, while still ensuring they can use our network safely.
“Signage within trains, including the in-car digital displays which show what the next station is, automated train announcements, and route maps within the trains, were not changed as part of the temporary take-over.”

US: Racist “2018 China Initiatve” Drives Scholars Out! (19.8.2024)

19/08/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

A professor in Houston told China Daily on the condition of anonymity that it is “unfortunate that the China Initiative turned out to be a government-sanctioned persecution of people of Chinese heritage”.

The professor said the federal government was wrong to prosecute people primarily based on race. “It is not a surprise that such a practice has created fear in the community.”

An analysis by Race, Racism and the Law, a civil rights group, concluded that of the 148 defendants across 77 cases in the FBI database, 130 defendants were of Chinese descent.

Only 25 percent of them were convicted, and few of the convictions were related to espionage. The conviction rate was dramatically lower than the Justice Department’s 91 percent overall conviction rate.

In June, Marcia McNutt, president of the National Academy of Sciences, said that while the U.S. still spends more money than any country on research and development, China is set to soon outpace such investment.

DPRK: Unelected [UK] Tories Driving Europe into a Disastrous War in Neo-Nazi Ukraine! (6.5.2024)

06/05/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

It is by no means fortuitous that the British foreign secretary flew to Washington before his trip to Kiev and put their heads together over the issue of expanding military support to Ukraine over a long time.

The Russian armed forces, which are now taking the firm initiative on the whole of the Ukrainian front while turning the U.S. and NATO’s weapons and equipment into a heap of burning scrap iron, express their firm will to make British military support have no effect on the performance of Special Military Operations and obliterate all British weapons.

Any military threat and blackmail of the U.S., Britain and other Western countries cannot damp the brave fighting spirit of the Russian army and people to firmly defend the sovereign right and security interests of the state.
