Adrian - Scarecrow Graduation!

Northants: Adrian & Gee Graduate as Scarecrows! (28.7.2025)

Being fans of the books and various dramatizations of “Wurzel Gummidge” – we were thrilled to lean of a local (Northants) “Scarecrow Course” sponsored by the Labour government as a job creation scheme. As this is a wealthy area – the local landowners are always on the look-out for suitable candidates for this partly government funded training course. Initially, we had to watch all the Jeepers Creepers films and learn to run smoothly through the corn fields.

Russia: The Influence of the Modern Russian Orthodox Church! (9.5.2023)

This video features the ‘Great Eradication Squad of Dmitriya Donskogo’ (Великовражская дружина Дмитрия Донского) – a ROC-controlled Religious Education Camp operating in the Kstovsky District of Nizhny Novgorod Oblast – situated in Central Russia. Young students attend Kstovsky District- whilst throughout the day the religious teacher ‘arms’ the students and whilst they are taught to collectively ‘shout’ pro-government slogans – they are ‘ordered’ to run and crawl like soldiers with machine guns – performing various other combat related exercises. In the Camp’s posts on VKontakte – it is noted that such classes are held as part of the upbringing of ‘Patriots of the Native Fatherland!’ ‘Those who Graduate take part in ‘Special Military Operations’ – and are taught exactly what the ‘Truth’ is they are fighting for in this battle!’ The ROC states that theological study is ‘merged’ with current secular government ideology – so that ‘warfare’ is both ‘justified’ and ‘encouraged’. This is how the ROC now dominates a modern Russia. I wonder what a Palestinian Christ would think about his passivity being perverted in this manner? Surely, this modern ROC activity violates the Soviet Law which states ‘Incitement of hostility or hatred on religious grounds is prohibited’!
