Australia: Most Targets to Reduce “Indigenous Disadvantage” Not on Track! (31.7.2025)

It said that progress has gone backwards on another four targets relating to Indigenous imprisonment and suicide rates, childhood development and the number of Indigenous children in out-of-home care.

“It is very concerning that we are still seeing outcomes worsening for incarceration rates, children in out-of-home care and suicide,” Malarndirri McCarthy, the federal minister for Indigenous Australians, said in a statement.

The report found that the age-standardized suicide rate of Indigenous Australians increased from 23.6 per 100,000 people in 2018 to 30.8 per 100,000 people in 2023. According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), the suicide rate for the entire Australian population in 2023 was 11.8 per 100,000 people.

Decoding the Spectre of “Freedom of Speech” in the Trump I & II Eras! (30.7.2025)

30/07/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

As the US is dominated by anti-intellectualism – the left has been completely deconstructed and re-invented into an alien concept premised upon the “devil” as found within Christian theology. Freedom of speech under Trump I and II is nothing less than the far-right saying anything it wants – and doing anything to anyone it prefers. Centrists bourgeois ideology is now viewed as “Communist” – with leftist and far-left rhetoric declared “Bolshevik” and “Marxist”. As the average US citizen knows NOTHING about Marxism, what the American far-right is discussing is nothing but its own deficient (and hate-filled) imagination. In many ways, the far-right hates itself and what it represents – in other words its own ugly reflection – and calls this hideous reality “Communism”. Of course, what the far-right represents has nothing to do with “Communism”. For Trump I and II – freedom of speech – is anything the far-right wants to say, with Communist oppression being any resistance to this fascism!

Rutland: Visiting Rockingham Castle! (29.7.2025)

30/07/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

Despite visiting Duddington (in Northants) regularly since 2009, we had never seen any signs for “Rockingham” – and wondered where this place was. Furthermore, whereas King Henry VIII used to frequent “Nonsuch” (in Sutton and Cheam – where we live) – I am told that King John (1166-1216) of Magna Carta fame, used to spend his leisure time staying at Rockingham Castle – which is near Rockingham village. He used to hunt in the local woods. Apparently, Henry VIII granted the castle (the Norman version of which is currently over 950-years old) to the Watson family (it was leased to Edward Watson in 1544). Prior to this, the general area the castle is now constructed upon possessed a Roman (a coin production industry) – and then a Saxon (Lord Bovi) – presence. The locale of Rockingham (probably the nearby village) is mentioned in the 1066 Doomsday Book – with the castle proper being built between 1066-1071.

Easton-on-the-Hill: Priest House [Chantry] 15th Century! (28.7.2025)

Although we have visited the general area a number of time – we had never seen this exhibit or been told about it. As we are currently staying in the locale – this place came-up in an internet search about something else. Like many such attractions, even at the height of Summer, there is only ever a trickle of visitors – which is a good thing for all concerned. We were handed the key, instructed to be careful on the old spiralling stone staircase, and turn-off all the lights when we are finished. There is even a toilet on site that is accessed with a key. Everything was perfectly clean, tidy, and in good order. Our two-daughters watched a short video film about the area, its history and industry! The photographs will tell the story of what we saw. A truly magnificent historical site that emerged out of the single most important and Revolutionary event (the “Dissolution of the Monasteries”) that forged modern Britain and the world!

China: Trump’s Announcement to Withdraw from UNESCO Not Responsible! (25.7.2025)

25/07/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

After the death of Roosevelt and the election of the right-wing Christian “Truman” post-WWII – overt US agitation against the “Internationalist” principles of the United Nations (UN) began with a vengeance on the grounds that “Internationalism” was a key ideological demand of the Soviet Socialist System. As the primary armed force which took-on, confronted, and then defeated Nazi Germany (and its allies) during WWII – the USSR had a substantial philosophical input in the post-WWII world order. At least for a few years after 1945 – before the US realised the true extent of the political power its deployed army throughout the world granted the White House.

UK: Woe Betide Those Who Interfere in the “Consuming” Process! (22.7.2025)

22/07/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

It seems that modern science (which evolved from ancient Greek thought) chops material reality into small chunks that are far more easily analysed, studied, understood, and mastered. Modern life has benefitted enormously from this method of deconstructing reality. The totality of reality is dissected into understandable slithers for the laboratory. Just as material reality (which never changes its cohesive nature) is theoretically separated into smaller parts for clarity of understanding – this seems to be represented in society by seeming to alter the collective nature of human organisation transformed into closed-off individuality. Chopped-up material reality is reflected in the chopped-up nature of human society. Reducing things to smaller examples, can magnify what is being seen so that a reliable knowledge is established. That is, the measuring of dimension and process are the cornerstones of modern science. But here is the contradiction. This chopping-up is a temporary process, it is a theory – it is not “real” in the concrete sense.
