Father's Day 2026!

UK: Father’s Day Cards! (21.6.2026)

With regards Mother’s Day – the UK has a different day to that recognised universally. Why this is I do not know. Apparently, the UK invented Mother’s Day – which was originally the “Mother of Christ” Day. I am told that “Father’s Day” is the same in and outside the UK. So, there you have it. Anyway, my two daughters are still children and tend to give me cards. Parenting is a difficult and demanding undertaking and certainly not the starry-eyed pastime popular literature likes to portray. It is not romantic to say the least. Of course, children never understand the burden parenthood – and as parents we would do well to remember that we were once children. Although there is no standard rule-book – there are rules. It is hoped that common decency and common-sense hold sway and all difficulties navigated. And on the journey goes!

The Re-Arranged Family Shrine - 2026

UK: The Family Shrine Re-Arranged for the Passing of My Father! (18.6.2026)

Even if no member of a Chinese family has not trained in a formal spiritual order – incense will be regularly lit, and fresh flowers and fruit will be added every so many days. Of course, some shrines are kept-up at a greater degree than others – but this does not matter in the end. A family shrine is a door-way between one plane and another. It is a two-way structure that permits a solemn respect to traverse from the material realm into the immaterial realm – and allows a positive spiritual reality to emanate from the immaterial plane to the material realm. Today, I talked to my deceased father – and I did this via a photograph that my mother took and printed-out for me probably around 2010. The photograph was taken in the front garden of our old home at 2 Torbay Road, Torquay Road, Torquay, Devon (the shyster landlord took over a hundred thousand pounds in rent between 2002-2018 before applying a no-fault eviction because we requested a repair be made). As this was 16-years ago – my father would have been around 68-years old at the time. I suppose my father was at the peak of his power as an elderly person! Tomorrow we will collectively lit incense. It is the next stage of respectful mourning.

The Descendants of Our Grandfathers!

UK: Remembering My Grandfathers & Relatives on D-Day! (6.6.2026)

Historical reactions are rarely the spontaneous affair the State claim they are. In reality, most of time we are “told” what to think and do – being directed to react in a certain manner. This is all sealed by the false idea that we are acting “freely”. The fear of Socialism is a fabrication inserted into the mentality of the working-class by the bourgeoisie. It is a false-construct that originates from “somewhere else”. The bourgeoisie fears losing the power itself assumed through illegal force. It causes continuous wars that uses-up the bodies of the working-class for profit – whilst brain-washing the remainder to think that Socialism is “wrong”. This is like grooming a sick (or ill) person that the medicine they need is “wrong”. The patient is then left to “die” through a natural process of self-imposed withering. Whilst WWI was a working-class holocaust – WWII was a People’s War against World Fascism. Believe it or not – both China and Russia were the allies of the UK during WWII.

If a loved-one died, would you want AI to recreate their voice?

In many ways – the fascism inherent within Zionism – is a method developed to defend Jews from outside fascism. On the face of it – these developments, as irritating as they are – do represent a type of “studied” genius. This does not mean that the religious claims of Judaism are correct – or even rational. Do not forget that the telephone was originally developed not as a means of mass communication – but rather as a method enabling living people on this plane to contact disembodied beings existing on the spiritual plane. This Christian assumption turned-out to be false – and humanity was left with a piece of technology that linked living people on this plane – regardless of distance between callers. Religious myths often serve as the starting points for advanced technological developments. I remember on the early internet (c. 2000) when people encountered one another online and acted as if we were meeting one another on the street – or in a bar – using a measured politeness. Of course, the young messed it all up because they did not know any better (it is not their fault – but our fault as elders). I suspect people cannot stand me whilst I am alive – and certainly would not like to be reminded of “me” – once I have shuffled-off this mortal coil – as Shakespeare said. My father is nearing his physical end – he knows this and is happy with it. We hate capitalism – and he said to me that all the suffering will cease with a final, outward breath. So be it.

UK: Soviet War Memorial – London – “Remembering the Unknown Soldier”! (5.12.2025)

The Day of the Unknown Soldier was established by the Presidential decree in 2014. The choice of date is symbolic: on 3 December 1966 the remains of an unidentified soldier who perished in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945 were reinterred in the Alexander Garden beside the Kremlin wall. On 8 May 1967 the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier was unveiled and the Eternal Flame was lit on the site, which became one of Russia’s central places of wartime remembrance.

China: Legacy of WWII Concentration Camp honours Friendship & Peace! (28.8.2025)

During the event, Stanley met Han Chongbin, an 80-year-old whose father once aided expatriates at the Weihsien concentration camp.

“At that time, out of pity for the internees, my father spent his own money to buy candy and brought eggs from home, managing to send them into the concentration camp. In return, the internees dismantled an iron bed and sent it out,” Han said. “He never expected that his help would be ‘rewarded.'”

In 2019, Han donated the iron bed to the museum. Now a museum volunteer, he shares stories about that period of history with visitors.

With the help of translators, he and Stanley shared a heartfelt conversation, holding hands like old friends. “Peace is our common aspiration,” Stanley said.

“Remembering suffering is not perpetuating hatred; it is igniting the beacon of hope for the future,” said Ayo Ayoola-Amale, vice chair of the governing council of International Cities of Peace.

“Weifang’s commitment to preserving this legacy — establishing the camp’s memorial museum, inviting descendants of survivors to return, and educating younger generations with truth — epitomizes the deepest practice of peace. Such courage deserves global recognition,” she said.
