China: Flesh Embraces Steel in New Age of Prosthetics Aesthetics! (17.9.2025)

17/09/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

This is because the disabled suffer the greatest extent of discrimination – and many sympathetic able-bodied know that if they step out of line with their able-bodied colleagues – then doors are shut. Indeed, one comment was left at the foot of my article stating that “It is the fault of the disabled. All their extra needs are a burden to the average worker. Why should the average worker make any extra allowances for disabled individuals when they contribute nothing to the system, and are a drain on society? As the disabled produce little (or no) material gain and/or surplus profit through their labour – why should (the workers) share what little they have with them?” And this comment derived not from the right – but from the left! Today, I see comments like this on virtually ALL right-wing and far-right forums – with the left remaining quiet on the subject – whilst simultaneously doing nothing about it! This is the debilitating world of stifled intellectualism we live in in the West. Compare this with the giant strides being made in Socialist China!

Do Not Be Distracted By the Bourgeois Distraction!

BMA-UK: The State of Play in the Capitalist West! (16.9.2025)

16/09/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

The mind must remain reflective and decisively piercing in its insightful functionality. The mind must not be taken with the smoke and mirrors which the establishment is feeding the masses as a form of deliberate distraction. Capitalism, and those who advocate and support it, are always the problem. Just as long as predatory capitalism exists – capitalist oppression will continue to exist. Successive UK governments (they are ALL bourgeois) have systematically deprived the British people of the Socialism the incumbent Labour Party introduced in between 1945-1951. Migrants are NOT the real problem – even if the successive governments have weaponised it deliberately to generate widespread working-class conflict and derision.

The Women’s Militia Unit First Appeared in the National Day Parade in 1958, Marching Through Tiananmen Square

China: PLA Women’s Militia Unit – History of Fighting & Marching in National Military Parades! (4.9.2025)

04/09/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

The Militia participating in this Parade was drawn from 15 provinces, covering the main Anti-Japanese Base Areas led by the Communist Party of China (CPC) during the Anti-Japanese War. Some of the Women’s Militia Unit came from the Railway Guerrillas, Plain Guerrillas and other fine traditional Militia Units who achieved great military achievements. This included Militia organizations that developed unique tactics such as tunnel warfare, mine warfare, and sparrow warfare. In the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the size of Socialist China’s Militia reached more than 2.6 million. The vast number of militias participated in the war and fought bravely to annihilate more than 106,000 enemies, causing the Imperial Japanese invaders to fall in vast numbers during the People’s War.

Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-un met for talks in Beijing

China: Putin Meets DPRK’s Kim in Beijing! (4.9.2025)

The two leaders met formally at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse after attending a military parade in the Chinese capital that marked the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (1931-45) and the World Anti-Fascist War.

Putin and Kim traveled from a formal reception to the negotiations in the same car, the Kremlin said in a post on social media.

After a bilateral meeting between Russian and DPRK delegations, the two leaders held a one-on-one meeting, the Kremlin said.

Putin also invited Kim to visit Russia again, following on from the DPRK leader’s last visit to the country in 2023.

In his remarks, Kim said the cooperation between Pyongyang and Moscow has “significantly strengthened” since the two countries signed a strategic partnership pact in June last year during a summit in the DPRK capital.

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

26/08/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

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.
