St Albans Abbey: Main-Gate! (28.5.2024)

28/05/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

During 1381 – England came within a hair’s breadth of becoming a People’s Republic! This great effort led by Wat Tyler was eventually defeated through the duplicity of the ruling classes – but its example echoes down through history! The beginnings of this gate stem from the 11th century and the consolidation of the Norman Conquest. This was when Roman Catholicism landed in England as part of the ruling government structure. Prior to this, Celtic Christianity (probably from Egypt) held sway in England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland. What Catholic presence there was prior to 1066 CE was piece-meal and generally lacked any real political power or influence. The differwence between these two forms of Christianity is that although both possessed a monastic tradition – the Celtic version saw the monastery (not the Church) as the centre of society. Furthermore, the Celtic version possessed a tolerant attitude toward non-Christian beliefs – a position rejected by the Catholic variant. With the coming of the politically empowered Catholic Church – Celtic Christianity was all but wiped-out by the 12th century.

Torbay: Berry Pomeroy Castle – Tudor Ruins! (2.4.2024)

During the 1500s, Elizabeth I was an absolute monarch (as was her father – King Henry VIII) – who preferred to live in and around the Nonsuch Park area – including Hampton Court Palace (which is no longer used by the royal family). However, there was once a “Nonsuch Palace” which does not exist today. After Elizabeth I died (1603 CE) – many of the castles she frequented were no long favoured by the royal family – leading to these buildings falling into neglect and ruin. This was the case with Nonsuch Palace which was so badly dilapidate that what was left of it had to be demolished in 1683 CE – for safety reasons – with the ruins being recycled into the constructon (or maintenance) of local buildings.

Dr John Wilkins (1614-1672): Revolutionary Thinkimg & England’s 1640 CE Moon-Shot! (30.9.2023)

30/09/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

The point is that the external Revolutionary conditions of British society that led directly to the English Civil Wars (and the overthrow of absolute monarchy) – not only emerged from changing attitudes within – but served to further condition the human mind to think beyond the boundaries set by previous generations without! Changing times led to changing thoughts – and changing thoughts led to the eventual advancement of science and society. John Wilkins is to be applauded for his diplomatic skills and his scientific vigour! This very much encapsulates the spirit of the English Revolution!

London: Souvenir “Grenadier Guard” Lead Soldier! (26.9.2023)

26/09/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

In this sense the ancient ritual of ‘guarding’ is a charade – or a piece of very interesting ‘theatre’ that constitutes a living history. These guards are professional soldiers trained to fight on the modern battlefield – but also ‘volunteer’ to learn all the required skills to ‘march’, ‘stand’ and ‘patrol’ just like a British Infantry Soldier did during the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. Once upon a time – soldiers in the British Army used march into battle dressed in these uniforms and behaving in this manner – whilst advancing on the enemy standing in straight ranks and moving slowly but precisely forward with fixed bayonet! As the dead and wounded in the front-line fell to the ground – soldiers in the supporting ranks would move up and take their place without effecting the momentum of the attack!

DPRK: King Charles III of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland Sends Congratulatory Message to Comrade Kim Jong Un! (15.9.2023)

15/09/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

This Parliament achieved by inventing the idea of a ‘Constitutional’ monarch – essentially generating a civil service position – or ‘Officer’ – employed by Parliament and fulfilling the role of a completely powerless monarch! In this way, many ‘Royalists’ were satisfied and stopped all conspiracies to re-establish an absolute monarchy – and were even allowed to hunt-down and ‘murder’ nearly ALL previous representatives of Parliament who had served Cromwell, won power and ‘executed’ the last absolute British monarch! This trickery was bolstered by the ‘pretense’ that the ‘British Army’ – which only follows the orders of an elected Parliament – still ‘fights’ for a totalitarian monarch! Furthermore, although the British (Bourgeois) Parliament makes and enforces the ‘Law’ – this ‘Law’ is laughingly said to be enforced by the so-called ‘Crown Prosecution Service’!

The Bizarre World of British Fascism! (27.7.2023)

27/07/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

The far-right is not known for its intellectual vigour and is often its own worst enemy. The seeds for the defeat of fascism quite often lie within its deficient thought processes and the technique required to fight this ideology is simply the ability to see this reality and know how to deal with it. During the Victorian era, there was a drive in Britain to include all the Colonial peoples under the heading of being ‘British’. Therefore the subjugated peoples – including Africans, Indians, Chinese and indigenous peoples – all became ‘British’ whether they liked it or not. With the new genetic research revealing that indigenous ‘Celts’ were ‘dark-skinned’ – the fascists can no longer falsely assert that all the old ethnicities of Europe were ‘White’ (that is ‘pink’) – and so yet another plank in their deficient ideology falls away!
