Brixham Down Wind Mill Road!

Brixham: A Photographic Strole Down “Windmill Hill”! (3.4.2026)

Gee had to park the car at the top of Wind Mill Hill – as that was the only place a parking-space was available not patrolled by militant locals who still seem to think WWII is ongoing. I jest – but one or two were a little bit prickly – commenting about “Townies” and “City-Dwellers” with “their big cars”! And so on. Still, at the end of the day, we are the visitors and we will be gone tomorrow. After carrying-out my duty – and visiting my various family relatives – I thought it would be a good idea to make a record of the journey down the hill from the parking-spot to the rented house. The view was quite beautiful and I hope I have captured our journey on foot down a steep Brixham hill – although we could not actually find a “Wind Mill”! Come to think of it – we are supposed to be near the Brixham Army Cadet Centre – but we never found this place either!

Half-Penny from 1966

Brixham: Coins in the Wall! (2.4.2026)

Administrative matters aside – I notice the above “interior” wall looks as if it used to be an “external” wall – as it looks weather-beaten and worn. Furthermore, in the UK, builders often leave a coin featuring the year any renovations were carried-out as a form of “good luck”. Usually, we find these coins under floor-boards, carpets, and lino, etc. Sometimes they are lodged between wooden joints or under various structures. In this wall, the coins seem cemented on the outside of the wall. There is a 1966 half-penny, and a 1960 three-penny. When I was first at school in the early 1970s – these coins were still in use. The old half-penny would today possess the buying power of £5 – whilst the three-penny bit could buy about £30s worth of goods. This was before the UK joined the EEC (1.1.1973). Prior to this, a British pound was comprised of 240 pence – afterwards it was deliberately devalued to just “100” pence. What a disgrace all this was!

Zugspitze Ski Lift Was Humanely Destroyed!

Germany: Churches Hold “Requiem” for Luxury Ski Resort – Whilst Remaining “Silent” About Israeli Genocide In Gaza!

Of course, this religious approach to science (origin from essence) assumes that the past does not really exist as developed science has proven theology not to be true. Religion responds by declaring science false and ignores its findings about how evolution has been driven by the agency of global warming-cooling and climate change. What humanity is today owes its existence to the most tumultuous episodes of climate change – which is healthy in a well-functioning biosphere. But hold on one moment, what am I missing? Yes – it is the “holier than thou” attitude that is emanating from these German articles – all neatly held together by the attractive wrapping-paper of hypocrisy. Whilst it is okay for pieces of projected, hot German metal to rip the bodies of Palestinians apart – it is not okay for the hot German sun to melt a mountainside full of snow – because such an event would inconvenience the holiday plans of the bourgeoisie. Why not let the Christians speak for themselves?

No War On Iran!

US: Hero Veteran – Brian McGuinness – Released – & US Colony of South Korea Joins in Protest! (10.3.2026)

Oneday, the South Korean population might well develop the conscious awareness to reject the US military, cultural, political, and religious domination of their country. Christian missionaries run rampant and uncontrolled whilst brain-washing young Korean children into thinking that being “Buddhist” or “Confucius” is primitive and sets the psychological agenda for the building of Socialism. It is interesting that some South Koreans support Iran – but generally do not express this level of support for their North Korean brethren. The US injustices against North Korea are endless and ongoing – and are often supported by the allies of the US. Meanwhile, North Korea always opposes any and all forms of US neo-imperialist activity – and the Red Army of North Korea has shed its blood on the Kursk battlefield of Russia – stopping a UK-planned (illegal) invasion of that country! Still, inconsistencies and contradictions aside – more power to this protestor’s elbow!

State of the Art Sun-Dial - Down House - Kent

Down House: Donning a Bowler Hat & Beard – Charles Darwin Lives! (7.3.2026)

It is a beautiful manor house situated in Kent – with a large garden full of all the natural experiments Darwin developed over many decades – as he slowly but surely correlated the information he had gathered in his youth aboard the HMS Beagle. He further developed all this by closely observing how nature functioned and unfolded in his native England – realising that environmental conditions (natural selection) creates changes in living organisms so a to better enhance the chances of a) survival, and b) reproduction. Whether occurring in South America, the Pacific, or the UK, the evolutionary forces acted in exactly the same way. Of course, what is near at hand to each of us becomes the “familiar” – and what is far away becomes the “unfamiliar”. However, this is just a matter of sensory “immediacy” – the point that Darwin made is that there is a greater principle underlying it all that we, as individuals, must strive to appreciate and understand. As part of this process, myself, Ge, Mei-An, and Kai-Lin all donned bowler hats and fake beards – so that we could – even if only for a moment – become Vharles Darwin!

US Senator Tim Sheehy Breaks Hand of Former Marine Brian McGuinness for Protesting Against Military Campaign in Iran

US: Veteran US Marine – Sgt Brian McGuinness – Assaulted By Trump-Supporting Senator [Tim Sheehy] for Exercising Freedom of Speech! (5.3.2026)

I bet Sgt Brian McGuinness (a name of Irish descent) thought that when he joined-up he was defending the very “freedom of speech” he was so brutally deprived yesterday by a thuggish-Senator (yet another Vet) and members of the Capitol (Americans cannot spell) police force. Let’s recap this police force – shall we? When Trump’s supporters stormed the Capitol on January 6th, 2021 (motivated by the lie that Trump had won the election) – video footage shows Capital police officers laughing and joking with protestors, sharing food, drink, and cigarettes, and even removing barricades to allow protestors through – wishing them luck as they went on their way. Officers on duty within the building turned their backs, left their posts, and unlocked security doors to enable the storming. What a difference a few years make – and a change of government. Sgt Brian McGuinness, whilst in uniform, committed no act of aggression or violence – but simply exercised his freedom of speech. The way he was treated demonstrates just how far the US has descended down the path of fascism!
