US: Trump Suggests Expelling Spain from NATO! (10.10.2025)

“They have no excuse not to do this,” Trump told reporters at the White House during a meeting with visiting Finnish President Alexander Stubb. “Maybe you should throw them out of NATO frankly.”

“You people are gonna have to start speaking to Spain,” Trump said. “You have to call them and find why are they a laggard.”

Under pressure from Trump, NATO members in June agreed to raise their military spending to 5 percent of gross domestic product by 2035.

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez rejected the target, calling it “incompatible with our welfare state and our world vision.”

Venezuela: Simón Bolívar’s 1818 “Letters of Dignity” [Written to the US Envoy] – Are Enduring Testimonies of Freedom! (8.10.2025)

The Liberator, with his clear wisdom, also revealed to us the formula for victory by assuring that moral virtue and courage outweigh numbers. Furthermore, he left us a powerful statement that we now raise as a banner: “Fortunately, it has often been seen that a handful of free men defeat powerful empires.” In every historical juncture, Venezuela has proven to be the living proof of this principle: the brave handful of free men and women who have defeated the most powerful powers in the world.

UK: Daoism and the Politics of Ageing! (30.9.2025)

30/09/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

For me, it was obvious that “virtue” equated to “longevity” – and it had nothing to do with the Bible or Western religion (the godly live to very old ages). The Western view was (and remains) that non-Christians are essentially evil and therefore are unable to live to very old ages. The Devil strikes them down due to his own inherent corruption – which flows through their veins. As a non-Christian, this description would involve myself – but here’s the thing – I do not feel any more or less good or bad than anyone else. Furthermore, I was told that Chinese people “lie” about their age in an attempt to mimic those who lived very long lives in the Old Testament (according to the Jews). I could not understand this approach – as Chinese Daoism is an ancient teaching (in one form or another) that specialises in “life-extension”. Virtue (德 – De) is a product of climbing a tower (self-cultivation) so that when the top is reached (enlightenment) – things can be seen in a 360 degree perspective.

Spain: Brave Fire Brigade Saves Historic Combined Mosque-Cathedral from Blaze! (9.8.2025)

“That allowed them to know all the entrances, the hallways, where they could hook up their hoses,” he said

Forensics police were at the scene to try to determine the cause of the fire.

ABC and other newspapers reported that a mechanical sweeping machine had caught fire in the site.

The site was built as a mosque — on the site of an earlier church — between the 8th and 10th centuries by the southern city’s then Muslim ruler, Abd ar-Rahman, an emir of the Umayyad dynasty.

After Christians reconquered Spain in the 13th century under King Ferdinand III of Castile, it was converted into a cathedral and architectural alterations were made over following centuries.

UNESCO designated the building a World Heritage Site in 1984, calling it “an architectural hybrid that joins together many of the artistic values of East and West and includes elements hitherto unheard-of in Islamic religious architecture, including the use of double arches.”

British Foreign Office Statement Condemning Israel!

London: 28 Countries Condemn Israel Over “Suffering of Civilians in Gaza”! (22.7.2025)

22/07/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

The statement in question was signed by the Foreign Ministers of the following countries – Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Cyprus, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Greece, Japan, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the UK. Just “why” so many of these countries are outside the EU (even Europe in the case of Japan) is something of a mystery (although ALL might be said to be allies of the US). Either way, and perhaps ironically, China did not sign – or was excluded from signing – I suspect the latter (as China has been calling for peace since day one – when all these listed countries were busy funding, arming, and politically excusing Israel’s criminal behaviour). A cynical take on statements such as this is that they are issued knowing nothing will be done to help Gaza – and that Israel will continue its brutal land-grab unopposed. Is such a scenario, this type of statement serves as a security measure in case any of the international legal actions against Israel gain any legal traction. Should the Israeli leaders end-up in the dock and answering for their War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity – then the Western enablers of these monsters will be brought to the fore. Being able to produce this rather feeble effort of a statement probably amounts to something akin to a “legal defence” in the mind of David Lammy!

Stop the Spread of Catholic-Supported Fascism!

US: Mexican Flags Fly in Defiance of Trump Fascism! (12.6.2025)

Incidentally, at that time, the State of New England “protested” about this US invasion of Mexico – referring to it as “un-American” on the grounds that the war with England was supposed to have put an end to this type of blatant imperialist activity. The people of New England threatened to “Secede” from the Union (as was their right) if the US moved forward with this plan. The situation was defused by President Polk – who guaranteed NOT to use any military force (amateur or professional) originating within New England – or comprised of New England men (if recruited outside of New England). This agreement prevented New England from “Seceding” – and effectively rendered that State “neutral” for the duration of hostilities.
