Havana: In the Face of the Imperialist Onslaught – Cuba Will Win! Statement of the Revolutionary Government! (21.1.2025)

21/01/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

This new act of aggression by the United States government against the Cuban people shows, once again, the true, cruel, merciless objective of these and so many other measures of siege and suffocation, which are applied against Cuba for the purpose of domination. It is a reaction of impotence in the face of the inability to bend our will and in the face of the respect, sympathy and support that the Revolution inspires among the peoples of the world.

The economic blockade, its reinforcement and the new aggressive measures will continue to weigh, with a very damaging effect, on our economy, the standard of living, the potential for development and the legitimate dreams of justice and well-being of the Cuban people, as has been the case in recent years.

How Steven Spielberg Altered JG Ballard’s ‘Empire of the Sun’! (22.2.2024)

22/02/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

I agree, the film is stunning, moving and dialectically thrilling – but did Spielberg work his Zionist magic? After watching the Blu-ray of Empire of the Sun a number of times and re-reading JG Ballard’s beautiful novel – I have yet again detected Spielberg fiddling with the perception of the world – using his usual method of precise omission. Jim declares that he has become an ‘atheist’ – but Spielberg censors-out the fact that he is also thinking of joining the Communist Party. Chiang Kai-Shek made a habit of beheading any caught Communist guerrillas – placing their heads on spikes in the centre of Shanghai for all to see. Jim had become impressed with the Communist Unions that agitated for the rights of workers employed by ‘White’ Europeans (such as his father) – and the battle waged by Mao Zedong and his forces living in the hills (a famous Chinese actress had resigned from her lavish profession in the Movies and the cinemas – and had joined Mao Zedong’s Communist guerrillas) – all omitted by Spielberg.

Tree of Enlightenment - Buddha Disappeared!

Perceptual Experiment: “Portrait of God” [Short Film]! (6.1.2024)

06/01/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

When the Buddha attained ‘Enlightenment’, the habitual karmic-power that continuously pulled together his physical and psychological existence fell away – leaving only the residual karmic-power of his present (final) bodily existence. Although the Buddha had broken the ridge-pole of continuous delusional habit – the physical body he occupied whilst attaining this position still had to be ‘lived through’ – until its biological functions naturally expired and its cohesive structure fell away. All of the material universe exists within empty space. Buddhist ‘Enlightenment’ seems to suggest a subjective appreciation of this external space and understands that all material expression exists within a continuous state of flux. As the Buddha broke-free of the human attachment to physical existence – his achievement was originally portrayed by his followers as ‘being not there’.

The Isle of Sand and the Collective Survival of Humanity! (26.12.2023)

26/12/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

This demonstrates that before the development of advanced human society – communality was (and remains) the basis of human evolution. The modern emphasis on individuality is a cult-like worship of a temporary (artificial) state of affluence. It is hardship that is the normal condition as this possesses the resources for every species to potentially develop given the right conditions. Affluence is the product of the intelligent use of human greed. The above video carefully navigates its way through the true story of North African slaves captured by the pre-Revolutionary French during the 18th century which became stranded upon the Isle of Sand – now termed ‘Tromelin’ Island.

ALEXANDER WERTH [PART III]: RUSSIAN ARCTIC CONVOY PQ-16 – May in MURMANSK (USSR) – MERCHANT NAVY SHIP “EMPIRE BAFFIN”! (2.9.2023)

03/10/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

This content discusses a chapter from Alexander Werth’s book, ‘The Year of Stalingrad,’ which provides an insightful portrayal of WWII events concerning the Soviet Union. It highlights Werth’s journey in the PQ-16 convoy from Murmansk to Moscow, offering readers an in-depth view of the war from an ordinary Soviet citizen’s perspective. Despite his work being overlooked due to his left-wing views and refusal to entertain anti-Soviet propaganda during the Cold War, the narrative praises his bravery and sincerity.

China: Disabled People Realizing Their Dreams – from Chef, Teacher and Barista and Various Other Sectors! (6.7.2023)

Along with six friends, she embarked on a venture selling handicrafts created by people with disabilities in the region. Their offerings include exquisite works of embroidery and intricate paper-cutting.

Similarly, chef Li Yuanyuan from Guizhou had a heartfelt desire to extend support to others. On the national day of assisting disabled persons, which is observed on the third Sunday of May every year, he would distribute the dishes he prepared among fellow community members with disabilities.

“Before reaching where I am today, I received immense help and encouragement. Therefore, I am determined to pay it forward, to assist and inspire others. Only through such actions can my life acquire true meaning,” said Li, reflecting on his journey.
