Moses Wave Man (Right) - Kai-Lin (Left) & Mai-An (Cente)

Torquay: Moses Wave Man – My Dad is a Modern-Day Wizard – and He Has Made a Post! (24.7.2025)

Remarkably, despite being right-handed, from 72 onwards, he re-learned how to do everything with his left-hand. Recently, he has been in and out of hospital in Torbay a number of times – with NHS staff stabilising his health and allowing him to go back out “waving” in the Bay. However, the visits are becoming far more frequent and I have started to receive enquiries about his health – even from the local and national media! Typical of my Dad, (he taught us to always find a way through the current hardship), he is dictating the content of his latest posts to whichever family member is visiting him. Hopefully, he will rise again for one more good round – and demonstrate his mettle and grit yet again!

Email: The Differences Between Catholic Fascism & Germanic Nazism! (26.6.2025)

Due to the very good relations Mussolini had with the Pope – Catholic countries world-wide supported the fascist movement without necessarily becoming directly or formally involved in the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) or WWII (1939-1945). Tens of thousands of individual Catholics (encouraged by their Parish Priests) did travel from their home countries in Central and South America – as well as Eire – and joined the “Fascist” forces fighting in these conflicts. In Spain, for instance, thousands of Irish Catholics joined Franco’s troops (with an equal number also joining the “Socialist” forces armed by the USSR). Thousands more travelled to Italy and Nazi Germany to join the far-right forces fighting the West and the USSR. Poland is a Catholic country that elected a far-right government in 1930 – with Polish people taking to the streets when Hitler came to power in 1933! Goebbels paid a State visit to Poland in 1934 – and later that year – Poland opened the first “Concentration Camp” at Bereza in East Poland (designed to “process” all the ethnic Russians out the region).

The Book of Enoch - It Is Not!

Hereford [1986]: Zen of the Wonky Table! (16.11.2024)

Eventually, “Phil G” left the college and moved down the road to become the “Rector” of St Barnabas Church (situated in College Road). He would invite myself and my friend (a Catholic Priest from Eire) for tea every Sunday afternoon for probably about six months (around 1986). He asked me about (Japanese) Zen Buddhism – and I lent him the book entitled “Zen Buddhism” by Christmas Humphreys [Unwin – 1984] (I have written on the many issues surrounding this man elsewhere). This book had casually come into my possession and became very popular amongst the Student Body at that time. As others wanted to borrow it – I bought up the subject of this book being returned whilst visiting the flat of “Phil G”. He initially said he did not know where it was and had a problem finding it.

Alexamenos Graffito: Was the Earliest Depiction of Jesus Christ – a Crucified Man with a Donkey’s Head? (6.9.2023)

Although this object originates from the Roman graffiti scratched into the plaster of a wall found in a room of a building (the ‘domus Gelotiana’ or ‘House of Gelotian’) – situated in the Palatine Hill area of Rome (modern Italy – the object subsequently being relocated to the Palatine Museum) – it could be that the ‘artist’ was inspired by the (197 CE) writing of Tertulliani or that Tertulliani was motivated in 197 CE by the already existing graffiti. A third scenario is that Tertulliani and the graffiti are unrelated – but that both represent an underlying and common reality – the essence of which both are referencing. Depending upon the exact date – the ‘Alexamenos Graffiti’ may well be the ‘earliest’ depiction relating to Christianity – albeit in a derogatory form. The crude Greek text scratched under the cross reads ‘ΑΛΕ ΞΑΜΕΝΟϹ ϹΕΒΕΤΕ ΘΕΟΝ’ – which seems to say ‘Alexamenos Ingests [his preferred] God’.
