The Term "Martyr" Originally Meant to "Bear Objective Witness" - Not Die for an Ethereal Belief!

UK: Examining & Deconstructing the Greek Term “Martyr”! (29.6.2026)

In modern usage – there is the disturbing trend of an individual being blown into non-functioning pieces being described as a “Martyr” – or performing the function of a “Martyr” (this is a term claimed by political systems regardless of hue – and all three religions of the Abrahamic persuasion). I understand that it is a human-habit to try make it seem that a pointless death possessed some type of ethereal meaning – but does it really? Dying for a noble cause is certainly acceptable – but the cause – whatever that may be (as noble causes tend to be a relative matter) – does not in any way alter the demeaning process of hot pieces of metal being forcibly penetrated through the body. Surely, it would be a far more noble cause to “remove” the ignorance from human society – and the human-mind – that causes all forms of oppressive death, be it through weaponry, abuse, torture, injury, illness, or starvation. Why not permanently change the basis of the situation – rather than passively give-in to – and normalise the oppression? In that sense, the original Chinese-language concept of 烈士 (Lie Shi)  is much more preferable.

Email: “Who Owns Your Life – You or the State?” (25.6.2026)

The reality seems to be that as individuals we are the owners of our own existences. It is very difficult for the State to prevent the exercising of free-will in this instance. What is te point of charging a corps with a crime? In some countries, like Switzerland, people who are both “ill” and “rich” can access the voluntary dying system. This sees two doctors (or more) having to agree, social workers (having to agree) – and police officers present to support the rights of the patient. The right to “stop” exists right up to the ingestion of the State-administered drugs. I know this because a) I have read through the procedure, and b) YouTube used to host entire videos of the procedure. In one version, a billionaire walked into a lawyer’s office with his solicitor, sat on a comfy sofa and after a few minutes discussing and signing – ingested the drugs. He passed within seconds sat on the sofa – as if asleep. Of course, for minors (that is children aged beneath the age of consent within a certain country) – the decision will involve the parents, doctors, and other practitioners. I neither agree or disagree – but I do know that some human diseases are terrible to experience – particularly in the young.

Biblical Studies: Who Wrote the Four Gospels? Not Who You Think! (27.5.2026)

If this actually had happened we would have incredible eye-witness accounts penned by Jews, Romans, and followers of Jesus (reformed Jews) – but no – there are no records of any of this occurring and many in the Church find such claims to be embarrassing for their faith. I suspect a group of non-Jewish Greeks wanted to be associated with the otherwise xenophobic and racist Jewish theology (which had evolved out of Babylonian philosophy and history) and concocted a miraculous story of a “magic-man” that no one outside the movement ever met or independently verified as existing. Jesus the “magic-man” made it acceptable for non-Jews to pretend to be Jews – and the Jews hated it just as much as the gentiles loved it! Whatever the case, no one knows who originally wrote the four gospels included in the received Bible (there are many more discovered in the 20th century which are now available for you to study).

UK: Weird News from England – Shakespeare Puts Kibosh on “Young Bible Revival” Claim! (27.3.2026)

Deary, deary me – as if there is not already enough problems in the world manufactured by the belief in non-existent “sky-spirits”! We already have (allegedly) George Galloway converting to Islam to marry a woman 30-years his junior (ge gas an effective set of lawyers in Northern Ireland – so we must tread carefully), and British academic David Miller posting that “Iran will save Western civilisation”! You can top this with disgruntled former Labour MP – Chris Williamson – who follows a similar line on Press TV (Galloway, his partner, Williamson, and many others -stood outside the US Embassy in London celebrating Trump’s victory in his second term – whilst now denying they did this – as they lament the US and Israeli missiles that are now raining-down on Iran). Where did “White” working-class men get this idea from that a) theistic religion will save the world (when historically it has started all the wars), and b) a foreign and alien religion (Islam) can be imported and used to replace the Christian theology our Secular Society has only just managed to throw-off after more than a thousand-years of intellectual and physical oppression (the “Closing of the Western Mind” as one British author termed this era)?

Visiting Charles Darwin's House - Das Kapital

Down House: Meeting Yet Again with Darwin’s Copy of “Das Kapital” By Karl Marx! (8.3.2026)

Darwin (like Marx) believed that “consciousness” was a function of the physical brain in as much as the ability to “think” emerges from the brain – and is the consequence of the functionality of the physical brain. In other word, the ethereal “mind” is a function of the material brain and cannot derive from anywhere else. Wallace had a different opinion. Whilst supporting the idea that the physical body (and brain) had evolved over a long period of time, Wallace was of the opinion that as the physical structures of the brain developed (and become more sophisticated) these structures evolved the ability to “receive” and “sense” consciousness as if it were broadcast (like a radio signal) from an outside source (Wallace never defined this “source” – but many believed his was trying to re-introduce religious thinking into material science – possibly due to the rise of “Spiritualism”). Indeed, perhaps Wallace was influenced by the science of radio-waves when he formulated this idea. Darwin rejected it, (as did Marx) – as they thought it was an attempt to enforce religion via the backdoor. Consciousness, as a special arrangement of matter, developed as a response to environmental conditions and the requirement for the “species” (not individuals) to survive. This might explain why capitalism, and its insistence upon “individualism” – runs counter to human developmental existence and evolutionary science. I suspect that Darwin agreed with Marx on this matter – that this point explains why the correspondance between the two has not yet been fully released.

US: Mary L Trump Takes to “X” to Ridicule Her “President” Uncle – for the Murder of 168 Iranian Schoolgirls in their Class-rooms! (3.3.2026)

The young do not ask to be born – the are born because we desire one another’s bodies and personalities – so be it. However, as adults, and as civilised beings, surely it is incumbent upon each and everyone of us to care for and protect the fruit of our loins? Children are mentally and physically fragile and need to be nurtured with kindness and compassion until they grow-up and mature. The sheer evil of the US (Donald Trump) deliberately firing a Tomahawk Missile from the decks of a US Navy ship ridiculously named the “USS Abraham Lincoln” – into a Girls’ School in Iran in the name of the hideous (evil) Zionists in Tel Aviv must rate rigt up there with the greatest crimes committed by Adolf Hitler in the USSR! Of course, Lincoln is historically known to have deprived half of the US States of their inherent (political) rights – killing hundreds of thousands of his fellow countrymen in the process – so perhaps the association is not that bizarre after-all. I find myself instinctively supporting Shia Islam – particularly after witnessing Iranian migrants prancing around Kingston High Street on Sunday waving the Monarchist Flag – cheering the death and destruction being poured-down upon Socialist Iran (they had left their free houses, and driven in their free cars to do this). Furthermore, whilst collecting my younger daughter from school yesterday – a Muslim woman wearing a headscarf said to her friend “It is the beginning of the end Iran. Thank goodness for the US and UK!” This is the calibre of the type of people UK governments are allowing into this country. Idiots – one and all.
