China: First Closed-Loop Spinal Cord Neural Interface Surgery Helps 61-Year Old Paraplegic Patient Walk! (22.5.2025)

22/05/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

The British NHS is now system that manages illnesses rather than cures them, blames the sick and the injured for the maladies they suffer, and slowly accommodates death rather than prevents it. GPs (doctors) see all their patients as scroungers who are a drain on their profit-making. We literally have to audition for our health. If we get the balance of humour and concern just right – we might be thrown a banana. Of course, we are told, “private” healthcare is the answer to all our problems. If you know private healthcare you will understand this is not true in anyway. When China gave its poorest citizens an inoculation for lung cancer – Trump (first time around) declared this “an example of the evil of Socialism!” The story below is of a 61-year old man who injured his back. There is no way the British NHS would finance this type of treatment. And herein lies the difference between UK capitalism and Chinese Socialism!

Disability History Month: British Museum – Eight Histories of Disabled People in Ancient Egypt! (18.12.2024)

18/12/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

Disabled people have always been present and active in society. Many specialists and experts around the world have started to investigate representations and lived experiences of disability and care in the past through archaeology and museum collections. The objects and remains highlighted here demonstrate some of the stories we are uncovering and hint at the discoveries that might be made in the future. We hope that these stories will demonstrate to everyone that disabled people have always existed and been part of the story of humanity, and empower disabled people to see themselves in history, and to continue making it, thousands of years into the future.

Fet-Mat's grave, the text reads: In memory of the miner Mats Israelsson who died while working in the Falu mine in 1677.

Sweden: My Tribute to “Fet-Mats” the Incorruptable Miner! (26.2.2024)

26/02/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

When Fet-Mats entered the Mine during 1677 CE, presumably there were other workers operating the lowering mechanism. This being the case, when Fet-Mats fell – the accompanying workers should have a) reported the accident, and b) the Mining Authorities should have made a verifiable (written) record of the accident and the fact that Fet-Mats was missing. A record that could have been referenced forty-two years later – when his body was found. This did not happen. Instead, two witnesses provided evidence during the 1719 CE hearing – giving two contradictory dates six-months apart – spanning (the Autumn and Spring) of 1676-1677 CE. The dates are close enough to be suggestive of being correct – but why was there no official record of Fet-Mats going missing at the time the event occurred?

Qianfeng Daoism: Enter the Dragon! (9.2.2024)

09/02/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

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.

Lebanon: Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine Visits the Liberated (Disabled) Prisoner Yasser Al-Moazin! (22.07.2023)

22/07/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

During the visit, the conditions the prisoners are held in the prisons of the Zionist Occupation were reviewed. This assessment included the conditions the prisoners are forced to suffer during home-detention. Yasser Al-Moazin gave an account of the conditions of his arrest, his exposure to disease, his suffering in the Zionist prisons until his release and exile to Gaza. His further exile to Syria, and finally to Lebanon. We also discussed the health conditions he is going through now – which led to the amputation of his legs.

When Hunting Goes Wrong! (12.6.2023)

Although not technically illegal – such collusion is notoriously difficult to prove! Meanwhile, across the Pond, a spokesperson for Oprah Winfrey has usually issued a statement which confirms ‘Oprah is saddened to hear of the tragic loss of Stephen. In these trying times, Oprah offers her prayers and forgiveness to his family – who probably owned her family two hundred years ago.’
