DPRK: “Dagger in Heart of Asia” Remark – Intensive Manifestation of US Hegemonism and Cold War Mentality! (3.6.2026)

03/06/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

The U.S., which had expressed its plan to reorganize the U.S. forces in the ROK into the “strategic task force” and “regional expeditionary force” since 2004, reached an agreement with the ROK on “strategic flexibility” of the U.S. forces in the ROK in January 2006, and in the 2010 Defense Department report, it clarified for the first time that the U.S. forces in the ROK could be dispatched to other regions according to the principle of “strategic flexibility”.

Recently, it more openly advocated the “modernization of the U.S.-ROK alliance” talking about “bolstering up conventional deterrent against all threats in the region” and “ensuring peace and security in the Taiwan Strait” at the 57th U.S.-ROK annual security consultative meeting in November last year. And in the National Security Strategy Report in December that year, it stressed the need for the regional allies including the ROK to increase the defence expenditure with the main emphasis on strengthening the capabilities needed for containing hostile countries and protecting the “first island chain”.

A 286,000-year-old hominin skull found in Petralona Cave in Greece!

Greece: Petralona Cave “Hominin Skull” Dated to 286,000-Years-Old! (31.5.2026)

Other fossil work has pointed in the same direction. In Spain, fossils from Sima de los Huesos have been linked to the Neanderthal evolutionary line, showing that Neanderthal-related groups were already present roughly 400,000 years ago.

That makes Petralona especially interesting. If the skull represents a more primitive population living around the same broad period, then Europe may have held multiple hominin groups at once. That is a very different picture from the old idea of one dominant human form slowly replacing another.

A similar pattern has appeared outside Europe, too. The Broken Hill skull from Zambia, also known as Kabwe, was directly dated to about 299,000 years old, much younger than many researchers once believed. The Natural History Museum said that date added to evidence that several human lineages may have coexisted around that time.

Surrey: WWII Anderson Shelter – Rural Life Living Museum! (29.5.2026)

29/05/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

The fact that thousands of working-class people in London took to the Tube tunnels for safety demonstrates just how few people possessed these shelters. My mother’s family – which lived in Lewisham – did possess one of these “Anderson Shelters” – and it saved their lives when Hitler’s bombers finally came! During September, 1941, Hitler targetted the working-class areas of London with the intention of either wiping-out the working-class (and preventing them joining the British Armed Forces) or scaring them so much that they would not volunteer to fight Hitler. Hitler destroyed large parts of Lewisham – which included my mother’s family home. They had took cover in the shelter and as my grandfather was piling-up the sand-bags around the door – when the bombs fell that destotyed their house and street!

Field-Stripping Devices is an Important Skill!

Surrey: Gee & Kai-Lin Field Strip & Assemble a Wooden Stool! (29.5.2026)

29/05/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

Anyway, we visited the “Rural Life Living Museum” (ob May 28th, 2026) – not far from the log-cabin area we were staying at in Tilford (a bourgeois cesspit of wealth). We have visited similar places not far from Sutton, and also in Oxford, Devon, and Cornwall. Many Moons ago, I visited places like this in the Lake District and in Scotland. They are essentially centres of education for school-children – and for adults to reminisce. My childhood (pre-Star Wars) was a very different reality to that which exists today. The working-class pre-1977 were very localised in mentality – with the middle-class attending university and developing a world-wide appreciation. This difference in education always benefits the middle-class who understand more and are able to use this knowledge to keep the workers in their place. Stll, it was a good day out and I will have to author a number of posts to cover it all.

Surrey: Visiting “Jane Austen’s House”! (26.5.2026)

27/05/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

Indeed, Jane was only 42-years old when she died (despite never marrying or having children of her own) – but she lived through the heady days of French Revolution, the rise of Napoleon, and the Battle of Waterloo. Despite the political class of Britain opposing the French Revolution (and opposing all the Socialist developments that arose from it) – many middle-class, literate British individuals found the times to be inspiring. Although I do not know for certain with regards Jane Austen – she was one of those literate British women who trailblazed in a man’s world via her written works (Pride & Prejudice, Sense & Sensibility, etc) – which are still best sellers today. Many of her works are performed as plays, and have been adapted for TV and the big screen. Whatever the case, on Tuesday May 26th, we headed out up the road to a nearby place called “Chawton” – where one of the houses owned by the Austen family is located.

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

26/05/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

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).
