DPRK: Press Statement – DPRK Foreign Ministry “Institute for Disarmament & Peace” – Exposing US “Freedom Shield 2025” Aggression! (24.3.2025)

24/03/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

Lurking behind the war drills the U.S. staged together with its satellites by mobilizing large-scale marine troops including the nuclear carrier is its sinister design to link Freedom Shield with the tripartite joint naval drill and expand the scope of the U.S.-ROK joint military exercises into the U.S.-Japan-ROK joint military exercises in future.

As above-seen, this year’s Freedom Shield revealed its offensive nature as a U.S.-Japan-ROK joint military rehearsal and as a multinational war drill involving even the troops from twelve member states of the “UN Command”.

UK: DWP Issues 2nd Dodgy Press Release Designed to Trick Media into Supporting Disability Benefits Cuts! (22.3.2025)

22/03/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

The department’s fourth misleading statement came as it claimed – again in a footnote – that 70 per cent of the increase in the number of disabled people receiving the health element of universal credit and ESA in the past five years “was not expected by the Department”.

But it failed to mention the impact of the pandemic, with research by the respected Institute of Fiscal Studies (IFS) – published the previous day – finding that “mental health has worsened since the pandemic”, which was “consistent with rising disability benefit claims for mental health”.

The IFS report found that “deaths of despair” – those attributed to alcohol, drugs and suicide – rose by 24 per cent in England and Wales in 2023, compared with the 2015-19 pre-pandemic average.

Silversea Onboard Animal Policy – the “Elephant” in the Room – Plus Silversea Response! (21.3.2025)

21/03/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

I was enthralled to see a fine pair of elephants (good ivory – strong stature) featured on the Silversea online website – next to the description of the cruise-ship entertainment and various other distractions (including a breeding-pair of Polar Bears – I believe). May I take this opportunity to enquire as to what is the policy for animals being onboard? Although I am a little out-of-date, I am told the odd ship might possess a parrot to keep the children engaged – but am musing as to whether the new cruise-ships – being as spacious as they are – could also contain some type of Zoo?

Australia: “First Nation” People to be Honoured – UK Monarchy “Removed” from $5 Notes! (19.3.2025)

19/03/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

The RBA has revealed a design celebrating Indigenous people’s connections to country will replace the image of the monarch on Australia’s $5 note.

The new note bearing the theme, selected from more than 2,100 public nominations, will be the first not to feature a monarch.

Before selecting the theme, the RBA engaged with First Nations organisations across the country to encourage submissions.

And the redesign panel included First Nations representatives, as well as those from the RBA and Note Printing Australia.

USSR: Exposing Hollywood “Anti-Soviet”[Red Army] Propaganda! (18.3.2025)

18/03/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

The annual Oscars Academy Award ceremony attracts attention of the whole world. Recently, another such show took place. We would like to talk not about the American film Anora (rated R) with Russian actors (we congratulate them on their great success), but about the drama A Real Pain (rated R) directed by Jesse Eisenberg.

It is also an American film, made by Americans primarily for Americans and about Americans. This is important. The picture is about historical memory in the perception of American descendants who survived the Holocaust. The genre is a road film: the main characters travel to memorial sites, get acquainted with monuments in the Polish capital and go to the Majdanek concentration camp museum. The picture has already been seen by millions, and after it received the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, even more people will see it. The screenwriters of such films lay down powerful narratives. And since they contain a distorted view of the most important events related to our country, we cannot remain silent.

Eire: Last Known Battle of Britain pilot – Irishman John Hemingway – Dies Aged 105! (18.3.2025)

18/03/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

Mr Hemingway was one of 36 Irish pilots who fought in the Battle of Britain, including Wing Commander Brendan ‘Paddy’ Finucane, who was one of the RAF’s most successful fighter aces in the war, and Victor Beamish, a scion of the brewing industry. Both were killed in the war.

In 2019, Mr Hemingway gave an interview to The Irish Times on the occasion of his 100th birthday. He told military historian Joseph Quinn: “I can’t say don’t drink. I can’t say don’t fool about with people. I can’t say don’t fly aeroplanes. I can’t say don’t shoot and get shot at – I’ve done everything, and I’m an Irishman. The only advice I can give to people is be Irish!”

Mr Hemingway’s wife Bridget died in 1998. They had three children.

He lived with daughter in Canada for many years before returning to Ireland in 2011. Mr Hemingway spent his last years in the Trinity Care Foxrock Nursing Home.
