Kai-Lin Collected the Apples!

Duddington: Scrumping Cooking-Apples, Liberating the Graveyard & Making Cakes in Sutton! (1.8.2025)

We taught Kai-Lin how to “forage” – a skill sadly lacking in today’s world – where “culture” is being crushed by the rich who live in gated communities (isolated from the destruction they are inflicting upon the all British people) and ordering their food imported from abroad and delivered by Ocardo – or something similar. My children have never heard of “cooking-apples” – or that such traditional fruit cannot be readily or easily eaten (due to its natural bitterness and hardness) without first being properly prepared and correctly cooked in suitably sweetened and heated water (simmered – but not boiled). My older relatives often used brown-sugar – before the apples could be placed into tasty apple-pies.

14th Dalai Lama Grasps PRC By the Balls - Where All Life Begins!

China: Dishonest 14th Dalai Lama Starts Jockeying for Capitalist Reincarnation! (3.7.2025)

The reincarnation should follow the process that consists of searches within the Chinese territory, the drawing of lots from a golden urn, and approval by the central government, Mao Ning, a spokeswoman for the ministry, told a daily news conference. The Chinese government implements a policy of freedom of religious belief, and issued Regulations on Religious Affairs and Measures on the Management of the Reincarnation of Living Buddhas to protect the tradition of reincarnation of living Buddhas in accordance with the law, Mao said.

Adrian & Gee Valentine Cards! (15.2.2025)

Until this year, I was completely unaware that February 7th is “Rose Day” in the UK! This falls just before St Valentine’s Day (Fedrusty 14th). I think many people conflate these two rituals as roses are often given on the 14th. I suspect there is an involved explanation for all this – perhaps pre-Christian (Pagan) verses Christian, etc. Whatever the case, Shakespeare seems to have known both these dates. Both dates are designed to renew assertions of love and affection between men and women.

Old Ch'an Dao Gongfu

Ch’an Dao: Confucian Lineage! (8.11.2024)

Of course, the modern world is a very different place to the ancient (feudal) world from which Confucius lived, but nevertheless, so much of modern Chinese culture is premised on just this type of social organisation and spiritual coordination. This is true even when gongfu Styles are accessed through “money” – rather than through “virtue”. This attitude of “Respect” and “Harmony” has permeated the culture of Korea, Japan, and Okinawa – with the latter once being a distant part of the Chinese Empire. By issuing his “Hamon” – Sensei Higaonna is proving that his Style of Goju Ryu Karate-Do is “Chinese” in origination – as indeed it is (premised upon the White Crane gongfu of Fujian province).

Touching the Balls is a Jewish Tradition!

The Marriage of Isaac – The Jewish Custom of “Touching the Testicles” to Seal the Deal! (11.4.2024)

These (non-Jewish) people are to be “enslaved” and used for every conceivable activity – including sexual abuse involving young and old alike. Jewish people, as presented in Genesis, often prefer to marry their cousins, nieces, and nephews – with other close couplings also considered. Sexual activity with close married relatives is also common-place. The point of this post, however, is to give the Biblical (Jewish) origin of the legally-binding term “Testimony” – which involves the man swearing on the authority of the testicles. In the story below, a servant is forced to “touch” the testicles of Abraham as a means of sealing a deal or confirming an understanding. As the Jewish people still maintain these traditions – it is an easy task to decipher the otherwise camouflaged language contained within the Bible.
