Plato of Athens - Great Thinker of Ancient Greece!

Book Review: Plato of Athens – A Life in Philosophy By Robin Waterfield! (20.7.2024)

If Waterfield is wrong about the reality of the USSR – how can he be trusted to formulate a reliable biography about Plato? Stalin possessed no real power as an elected General Secretary. His elected post was one of “Regulation” – as all the decisions formulated by the numerous Committees (controlled by the workers) were passed through his Office for application and ideological verification. Suspect, incomplete or badly formulated decisions were “Returned” to the various Committees for reconsideration. Waterfield pursues a disturbing agenda which all readers must be suspicious of.

35000 BCE - Dragon

Qianfeng Daoism: Enter the Dragon! (9.2.2024)

Considering how important the concept of the ‘Dragon’ is throughout Chinese culture – I was surprised just how haphazard the construction of its representing ideogram actually is. As this is my area of academic expertise, I could not believe what I was looking at! Consequently, it took me three-days to disentangle the mess that this ideogram seems to have gotten itself into. Having achieved this objective – I then unloaded the finished article onto the Qianfeng Daoist website I help to administer.

On Attempting to Be Theoretically and Practically “Free”! (17.11.2023)

This situation reminds me of Carl Jung, an ethnic German born in Switzerland, who in 1956 published a ridiculous little book purportedly about ‘UFOs’ – but which contained a section openly attacking the USSR (parroting US Cold War Propaganda) just 11-years after Jung’s ethnicity had perpetuated one of the worst crimes in human history – killing and maiming 41-million in the USSR! Jung NEVER addressed the inhumanity of his fellow Germans but felt able to lend his academic weight to the ongoing demonisation of the victims of German immorality. From that day onwards, Jungian thinking and theory become just another path leading to an illusionary freedom – with those who describe themselves as ‘Jungians’ simply making the same interpretive mistakes as their progenitor.

A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW OF AUTOPSY FINDINGS IN DEATHS AFTER COVID-19 VACCINATION: Deconstructing ‘Dr’ Peter McCullough’s Pseudo-Science! (10.7.2023) 

The right-wing news outlets associated with these pages present McCullough as an ‘objective’ an ‘impartial’ academic who only has the public’s well-being at heart. This is an inverted and entirely incorrect viewpoint. Vaccinations work and save endless lives – therefore McCullough’s opinions and research have the potential to ‘fear-monger’ the general population away from this life-saving medical treatment! He cherry-picks available data and then presents this data in a manner that appears to reflect his opinion – this is NOT science – but faith-based reasoning. He tried this recently – by placing a paper on a ‘Lancet’ related website – in the hope that ‘Lancet’ would become surreptitiously ‘associated’ with his anti-intellectual agenda! A cursory and ‘objective’ review of his work, however, quickly revealed its inverted nature. This is why his latest attempt at misleading the general public was soon taken off the Lancet-related site!
