UK: I Once Ran a Half-Marathon over 1 Hr 40 Mins [13.25 Miles] in Hereford During the 1980s – and Neither of My Legs Were Broken! (8.8.2026)

I was born in Oxford (Hitler bombed my mother’s family out of working-class Lewisham in 1940) – and I love the history and “learning” associated with the place (I can walk around with a book about Marx on open display and no one bats an eyelid). I did attend Oxford – but I paid to do so – as I could not attain a place due to my own limitations when I was young. It just so happened that my intellectual abilities matured at the same time when I experienced a decade of wealth. Although Oxford does discriminate, I “paid” to access a “Philosophy of Mind” course – which I passed despite not fitting-in (I was in my late 30s at the time and was surrounded by BBC executives, Guardian Reporters, and UN employees – but my family was proud). However, I was told a story of a young woman who was born into a poor working-class family and brought-up on a housing estate.

China: College Students Successfully “Launch” Self-Developed Satellite into Orbit! (8.8.2026)

Socialist science is superior as it rejects the “inverted” bases of the bourgeois system – whilst dismantling the internal barriers that maintain racism, discrimination, and oppression. Lenin predicted that without much more effort other than simply re-orientating the creative powers inherent within the working-class – the Soviet Union would rapidly develop, catch-up with the West, and soon transcend its capitalist achievements. This is why Lenin advised that all men, women, and children should sit down in the kitchen, discuss ideas designed to make society better, and communicate these ideas to the Authorities. Working-class science emanates-out from below – originating from within the ranks of the proletariat (those who have nothing to sell but their labour – or bodily movement). Yes – workers can become “experts” in scientific endeavours – but they cannot exclude the lumpen proletariat from its creative process. Bourgeois academia, by way of contrast, is elitist and exists as an oppressive “top-down” process. By comparison, working-class science is “up-lifting” and “inspirational” – as can be seen from the contents of the below article!

BMA-UK: Zhao Zhihao (赵志浩) – Promoting the Further Sinicization of Buddhism & Integration with Socialist Society! (3.8.2026)

03/08/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

As the Mahayana Sutras became more popular in China than the Pali Suttas – the idea of strict vegetarianism (which had spread from India via various Vinaya Discipline texts) took root (even though it was only meant initially for the monastic order). Buddhist vegetarianism was not invented in China (as the author of the below [translated] text seems to imply). It is true that at least two Emperors in China did ban meat-eating in their respective countries – and instigated an expansive vegetarianism amongst the general public (Buddhist and non-Buddhist). This meant that Buddhist monastic vegetarianism was spread throughout the Buddhist laity and beyond – and this was a transformation of Buddhist practice in general that has persisted into modern times. Much, if not all of the interfacing Chinese philosophy that at least gave structure to Chinese Ch’an (Dhyana) Buddhism arose from the “Change Classic”

UK: Undercover “Special Demonstration Squad” – Closed Down Over Unjustified Surveillance – Spycops Inquiry Told! (3.8.2026)

Around 20-years later, Starmer would order the quick round-up of 10,000 Brazilians in the UK for deportation – whilst illegally taking the British Citizenship of the children (so that entire families could be deported with no legal or moral issues resulting. To be clear, the Brazilians have done nothing wrong in the UK, and are here in relatively few numbers – and yet the British State has targetted this group whilst ignoring the groups that have caused trouble. Bear in-mind that the SDS came into being one year after the “Summer of Love” in 1968 – and was instigated by an incumbent Labour Party. It existed and weaved its evil webs throughout the UK until 2010 (between 2008-2010 it seems to have had a name-change to “National Public Order Intelligence Unit”) – and the election of a far-right Tory-LibDems Coalition (although it was during the outgoing of Labour Prime Minister of – Gordon Brown – that it ceased operations after years of complaints). I suspect groups like the Maoist Workers’ Institute were subject to its machinations over the years – machinations that are now considered both illegal and immoral. My views about the Guardian Newspaper remain unchanged. Stop lying about Neo-Nazi Ukraine and the Israeli Genocide and re-orientate your political compass firmly back toward the left.

The Hula-Hoop was Not New - But the US Tried to Turn into a Fitness Fade!

USSR: Modern Russians Lying About Soviet Russia – It’s the Hula-Hoop All-Over Again! (2.8.2026)

02/08/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

Years later, I learned that at least Republics of the USSR were “Buddhist” and of various ethnicities (including “Tibetan”). More to the point, the 1936 Soviet Constitution guaranteed racial equality for a) everyone born in the USSR, and b) for everyone visiting the USSR. Even today, I am often mistaken for “Russian” of the Soviet-era – as this explains my “Chinese” partner. This often happens in and around the Soviet War Memorial in London. Modern Russian people, at least those in the pay of the US, should stop lying about the glorious past that is the USSR. It was – and still remains – the US (not Russia or the USSR) that is the most racist country on earth. Even their Black President Obama instigated Neo-Nazism in Ukraine – destroying the Slavic people both sides of the divide. I wish young Russians would think about what they are writing – about the false narratives they are buying into. This is why I have carried-out a lot of translation work for the Communist Parties of Lugansk and Donetsk – as that is my ideological doorway into modern Russia. Of course, I am not Russian – and do not pretend to be. I am a Sinotised Celt – and that’s about it. I value historical truth other disinformation. The world could learn much under a USSR under Lenin and Stalin. After-all, 41 million Soviets were killed and wounded assisting the UK as allies during WWII.

UK: Giant Sun-Dial [Wakefield Gardens] – Outside the South Exit of Tower Hill Tube Stop! (1.8.2026)

01/08/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

As such, we completely missed this giant sun-dial and were not aware of its presence. Yesterday, (31.7.2026) we visited the Tower Bridge – which allowed us to leave the Tube by its other exit – thus permitting a close-up encounter with the giant sun-dial. The children have seen the sun-dial at the former home of Charles Darwin in Kent – so they were aware of the mechanism and the science behind its functioning. What impressed them (and us) was the sheer scale of this structure. Everyone attempts to get the best and all inclusive photographs. We have always followed the idea that the more the children physically experience – the greater will be their progressive thinking capacity! This sun-dial is fascinating to encounter – similar to finding a maze! London – like England – is full of these kinds of things and we are lucky to live so close to it all!
