Adrian the Monk - 2025

Report: Ghost Hunting in North Devon! (29.8.2025)

With most of the lights off by 11pm, I sat on my religious chair (the Church dates back to the 14th century – and so does the chair). I cleared my mind and immersed myself into the ancient nature of the stone-work. The stone was cool to the touch – I went bare-foot to ground myself – and felt the calm structure of the place. No fear, no deception, and nothing to worry about, Although I neither support or oppose theology – I sensed the spiritual feel that all the attendees developed and projected into rge physical structure of the place. In many places in the UK, the Christians deliberately built their Churches on already existing Pagan sites of ancient spirituality – with nothing to do with a Christian god. The mistake that Christians make is that their own mind creates the religion they believe in – but they mistakenly believe that their religion exists “outside” their heads, independent of the mind that generates it. The perception is inverted and the wrong way around.

Respect for God!

North Devon: St Peter’s Church – Bratton Fleming! (26.8.2025)

This must be the most spectacular integration of religion and secularism. I never thought I would live to see the Church of England finally give-up their last line of sanctity and allow all and sundry to stay as many nights as they can afford – and do whatever they like during their stay – providing the interior of the Church is not damaged. As an academic who uses the average Church as an early form of a search-engine – I find this a fascinating opportunity – albeit slightly disturbing and a little bizarre. Theravada Buddhist Temples, of course, allow practitioners to stay within their interiors – being fed and cared for free – providing there is space. Absolutely NO money is asked for or required (a Buddhist monastic must not touch money of any type). Not all Buddhist Temples follow this idea outside of Thailand, Sri Lanka, or Laos, etc, but they should do.

Rubber Dinghies More Effective Than D-Day!

Bulgaria Rubber-Boat Saga – Starmer Stops Biggest Amphibious Landing in English Channel Since D-Day! (26.8.2025)

Perhaps Turkey is doing this by supporting illegal immigration into the UK? If the boats can be caught en route – then it is an easy task to name and shame the Turkish companies behind the manufacturers of these boats. Yes – it plays into the far-right narrative – but that is because the far-right is, in this instance, is simply relaying the news, albeit for their own nefarious purposes. Why is the far-left silent on this issue – and effectively dead in the water? Is it because the far-left has burned all its bridges by remaining silent about the US-inspired Neo-Nazi regime that has been in power in Ukraine since 2014 – whilst subsequently declaring Russia’s response to it as “Imperialist”. With a track record like that – the far-right – like a broken clock – is going to be right twice a day just be default! Meanwhile, Starmer is so unpopular that Labour has completely lost the plot – with this episode being so stage-managed it is ridiculous! Imagine not knowing where a product is made in today’s 24-hour capitalist society – where every bean is accounted for!

I Can See Your Thoughts...

Dialectical Materialism & Rebirth for Marxists! (26.8.2025)

In a moment – things dialectically change forever. When the axe fell on the neck of Charles I in 1649 – the ancient convention of an absolute monarch in England ended forever. How could this have happened? Well, there was a Revolution which saw tens of thousands fight and die in England so that the emerging bourgeois class could usurp political power from the aristocracy. There was no future for the absolute monarchy. And yet the agency of the “moment”, despite its nature, continue to manifest unabated. Rebirth is not reincarnation – the Buddha hinted about the former but rejected the latter. Rebirth may not be what the average Marxist thinks it is. An effective Marxist regime must be replicated effectively from one generation to the next.

Meet the King of a tribal community living in Scottish woodlands - who claims to be a descendent of the Messiah(Image: SWNS)

Jacobites: ‘Lost African Tribe’ Set-Up Home in Scots Woodlands – Locals Baffled! (21.8.2025)

Their presence has left locals baffled although the tribe claim to live a simple life, bathing in a nearby stream, living in tents, and connecting with nature.

However, they said on Tuesday that they ‘don’t recognise local laws’ and have faced persecution from those who don’t understand their ways.

They have been served eviction notices, and have even suffered an attack on their camp when their tents were set on fire. However, instead of bowing to local law enforcement, they say they only recognise the laws of their God, named Yahowah.

King Atehene, 36, who was previously an opera singer under the name Kofi Offeh, leads the group, which consists of his wife, Queen Nandi, and their handmaiden Asnat. They claim they are a lost tribe of Hebrews, with their King descended from David the Messiah, and say their ancestors were cast out when Elizabeth I deported native black Jacobites.

The group say they live a simple life, and aim to fulfil a prophecy to establish their kingdom and bring other “lost tribes” back into the fold.

King Atehene said: “The prophecy said, after 400 years, when my ancestors are destroyed from the land of Scotland, from the land of Great Britain, they will go into captivity and lose their identity.

Nigerian Pidgin Talker!

Nigeria: White Woman Speaks Pidgin to Nigerian Women! (20.7.2025)

I keep an eye on ethnic African Telegram Channels – particularly those from Nigeria. I am observing the gang warfare that exists (termed “cult membership”) – which focuses on the “Vikings” (there is an idea that Vikings once landed in Africa and mixed-in with the local people) and the “Black Axes” – the latter of which brutally kill other people with hand-axes. There are other groups that routinely fight one another for dominance and control of resources, etc. These gangs are tribal and tend to reject Christianity as being a foreign religion imposed by outsiders. However, Nigerian culture in general is rather relaxed, sedate, and nourishing to encounter despite the issues that exist within broader society. This is just the same as every other culture on Earth. The young woman above was featured on one of these Channels as being an extraordinary example of a White person speaking fluent Nigerian Pidgin!
