Taiwan: Racist US Education Reforms Destroying Chinese Cultural Identity! (29.9.2024)

29/09/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

“It’s clear that no one is born supporting Taiwan independence, it is an ideology deliberately cultivated,” Wu said, adding that while this ideology is nurtured by certain politicians for their own purposes, it is not unchangeable.

Wu noted that in recent years, he has encouraged several students to visit the mainland and was surprised by the changes in their perspectives.

“Before their visits, these students referred to the other side of the Taiwan Strait as ‘China.’ However, upon returning, they started using the term ‘the mainland’ and inquired about more exchange projects to the mainland,” he said. “So, I am not pessimistic about the future. In fact, I am hopeful.”

Since the Democratic Progressive Party authorities are unlikely to change their education policies, efforts from the grassroots are imperative to establish a historical perspective based on Chinese identity and to restore education of traditional culture, Ou said.

“Politicians come and go, ideologies change, but the wisdom passed down from our ancestors over thousands of years will never fade,” Ou said. “I have confidence.”

Contradictions of Modern Russia! (19.7.2023)

19/07/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

Modern Russians are living in a Western economic system, following a Western religion and expressing a Western form of fascism – but the ‘liberalism’ Russia is opposing today was developed in the West between 1917-1991! A similar argument can be made for the ‘decadence’ associated with the ‘Weimar Republic’ (1918-1933) – a process which involved a ‘mirroring’ within German society of the apparent ‘freedom’ perceived as existing in the USSR! Russia has been historically responsible for most of the ills it has been suffering since betraying its own Socialist Revolution in 1991! Spouting fascist rhetoric and threatening warfare is the behaviour of the far-right – and makes Russia no better than the Neo-Nazi Ukraine it is opposing!

World Insights: Fentanyl – Solely A Homegrown US problem – So Why Blame China? (19.7.2023)

19/07/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

CHEAP, ABUNDANT STREET DRUGS

Fentanyl and its derivatives sufentanil, alfentanil and remifentanil are all synthetic phenypiperidine drugs, which are synthetic opioid receptor agonists.

A painkiller for countless patients, fentanyl has many side effects. The drug has gradually become a menace to social security across the United States, a society long plagued by opioid addiction and abuse.

Statistics by the Council on Foreign Relations in April indicated that opioids, primarily fentanyl, are the leading cause of U.S. overdose deaths, which have roughly quadrupled over the last ten years for which data is fully available. In 2021, the death toll surged to 80,411, more than 10 times the number of U.S. military service members killed in the post-9/11 wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

There have been three waves of opioid abuse in U.S. society, with fentanyl being the “main character” of the third wave.

Rainbow: Mitzvot (Commandments) – the Seven Laws of Noah! (12.6.2023)

12/06/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

This idea is a leap of logic that attempts to ‘link’ the ‘eight’ sectioned ‘Rainbow Flag’ of Gilbert Baker with the (Hebrew) religious teachings of the ‘Seven Laws of Noah’. These teachings are also referred to as the ‘Noahide Commandments’ (or the ‘Mitzvot’ of Noah). Although Jewish people follow their own set of ‘Mitzvot’ (Commandments) – non-Jewish people who live alongside Jewish people are expected to willingly comply with Noah’s Seven Laws. In Jewish scripture it is stated that Yahweh “created the world that it might be settled”. (Isaiah 45:18) This implies a level of required civilized conduct – which can only be achieved when non-Jewish people also correctly observe the required ‘mitzvot’.

Education: Preparing the Trough and Batting-Off the Bourgeois Piggies! (26.4.2023)

26/04/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

Marx and Engels clearly saw through the capitalist system – and its representatives have been trying to get over the shock ever since! As for myself, I readily ‘share’ whatever academic and personal research I see fit. As a published (magazine and journal) author, and after appearing in the odd book, I understand that the Bourgeoisie controls society by withholding knowledge from the working-class and hindering its dissemination. As a working-class scholar (the product of a ‘Socialist’ Britain) – I share what I see fit through the internet – the path of least resistance and maximum effect. The data is presented ‘free’ at the point of encountering for the collective working-class to use as it sees fit (for its own empowerment). This is a matter of dialectical interaction that only looks forward and never becomes stuck in the present – and is not overly concerned about a past that no longer exists. As working-class dialectics is robust enough for the Soviet Red Army to take on all the combined and congealed ‘evil’ of Nazi Germany (and her allies) and prevail – it is incumbent upon us individual workers to display exactly the same adaptability within all circumstances! As the little ‘Bourgeois’ piggies come scampering to the trough – I will be keeping an eye on them…

China Issues Report on U.S. Human Rights Violations in 2022! (28.3.2023)

28/03/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

Overseas military operations have caused humanitarian catastrophes. On Dec. 20, 2022, non-profit U.S. media outlet Common Dreams pointed out in an article titled “Warren, Jacobs Accuse Pentagon of Vastly Undercounting Civilians Killed by US Military” that according to data from the UK-based monitor group Airwars, U.S. airstrikes alone have killed as many as 48,000 civilians in nearly 100,000 bombings in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Pakistan, Somalia, Syria, and Yemen since 2001. According to data released by the Costs of War project at Brown University, since the 21st century, the U.S. government undertook what it labeled “counterterrorism” activities in 85 countries, directly killing at least 929,000 people and displacing 38 million people. And the U.S. military operations around the world have violated freedom and human rights of people in the United States and other countries. A woman and two children were killed in U.S. drone strikes in the Al-Hadba area of Al-Wadi, Yemen, on Nov. 30, 2022. “… the violence that characterizes the modern United States at home and in its conduct overseas — from the prevalence of gun — related deaths to the controversies over preemptive military action and drone strikes.”
