UK: Sean Dilley & Guide-Dog – Anti-Visual Impairment Discrimination! (24.11.2024)

24/11/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

Put simply, leaving my house is hard. Very fatiguingly hard.
I’ve been privileged to work with four wonderful guides – Brandy, Chipp, Sammy and now Shawn.
They’ve been my life, my freedom and independence.
That all feels ripped away from me when I’m refused service.
At the restaurant, more customers expressed their shock at the way I was treated. But for me, the customers who seemed annoyed sparked echoes in my mind of every occasion I’ve shared refusals to social media over the past eight years.
There I’ve faced constant demands to justify why I should want equal treatment and, more perturbingly, threats of violence and even death.
Two years ago, I was refused access to different branches of Tesco in London.
Tesco apologised and promised further training for staff.

CUBA: Che Guevara’s Anti-Racism Remembered! (21.11.2024)

The academician further explained that while the process of decolonization of Africa had begun in the 1950s, the Cuban Revolution (1952-1959) and its figures provided a significant impetus. He argued that the influence of the revolution went beyond political independence, advocating a complete break with economic, social, and cultural ties to former colonizers.

🗣 “Then, throughout the following decades, Cuba, its support will not be limited only to this armed support, but Cuba, and I repeat, will be vital in the independence of Angola, of Namibia, of several of these colonies, which in turn will also influence revolutionary processes in Europe, as in Portugal, the Carnation Revolution,” Prof. Cabrales stated.

China: Greater Efficiency Space Shuttle! (13.11.2024)

13/11/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

A model of the spacecraft will be displayed at the 15th China International Aviation and Aerospace Exhibition, which opens on Tuesday in Zhuhai and runs through Sunday.

Currently, China has only one model of cargo spaceship, Tianzhou, which is a product of the China Academy of Space Technology in Beijing. So far, seven Tianzhou vessels have been launched and six of them were used to transport supplies to the Tiangong space station.

Orbiting Earth at a distance of about 400 kilometres, the Chinese space station has three permanent parts — a core module and two science capsules — and is regularly connected to several visiting crew and cargo spaceships.

It has been manned by eight Chinese crews, including the incumbent Shenzhou XIX team. All of the crews’ living and work necessities need to be transported by cargo vessels.

London: City Road [EC1V 2NR] – Shoreditch Side-Street “Not a Toilet”! (5.11.2024)

05/11/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

After being in the vicinity of Moorfields Eye Hospital (City Road – Shoreditch – East Central London), we had just visited a new Chinese Supermarket [Fu Lai], we stumbled upon a very strange side-street which cannot be fenced-off because it is publicly accessible. We had seen this place years ago – but we did not record it at the time. Apparently, the sign on either side of this narrow in-dent states that the area is NOT a “Public Toilet”! How odd! This is a posh place full of new high-rise (and incredibly expensive) flats strictly for the elite. As there are no public houses of clubs – it is difficult to understand just why it is that the local population would use this side-street as a toilet. It seems to me that this might be a fake landmark designed to attract bemused tourists and incredulous locals. Perhaps an urban myth.

Fascist Poland: Joseph Goebbels at Krakow Airport! (4.11.2024)

04/11/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

Between 1933-1939 – Nazi German and Polish troops routinely carried-out joint military exercises whilst sharing fascistic ideology and political aspiration. Indeed, this cooperation between the Poles and the Germans reached a peak in 1938 when both countries staged a joint-invasion of Czechoslovakia! Despite all this agreement and alignment of policy – Hitler betrayed Poland in 1939 (on the grounds that Poles could not be Aryans) – whilst for some inexplicable reason, Churchill came to the aid of the Fascist Poles, misleading the British public by falsely implying that Poland was a country something similar to Surrey or Kent (containing a population that played Cricket and sipped warm beer on the Village Green)! Around 1946, the Pope requested that the UK quietly take upwards of 10,000 Nazi Ukrainian War Criminals taking refuge with the Catholic Church.
