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.

DPRK: US Anti-Socialist Manipulation of UN Exposed! (22.11.2024)

22/11/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

No matter how the hostile forces may be the master of confusing right and wrong and hatching plots, they can never cover up the true human rights situation in the DPRK which gives top priority to the dignity, right and interests of the popular masses and regards them as absolute.

Protection of human rights apart from the national sovereignty is nothing but an empty talk.

It is an exercise of the normal and legitimate right of a sovereign state which no one can slander for the DPRK to take all necessary measures for defending its sovereignty and protecting the security and interests of its citizens as it has been exposed to the serious, political and military threats by the U.S. and its allies.

The DPRK will never overlook the daily-increasing hostile acts of the U.S. and its followers but make every effort to defend the socialist system of the DPRK which its people value as dear as their lives and their genuine rights.

UN: US Supports Israeli “Genocide” with Veto Vote! (21.11.2024)

“This is what Israel is doing in Gaza. These are its war objectives. This is what the absence of a ceasefire is allowing it to continue doing,” he said, calling for an immediate and unconditional ceasefire in the region.

“It is deeply regretted that due to the use of the veto this council has once again failed to uphold its responsibility to maintain international peace and security,” Malta’s Ambassador Vanessa Frazier said after voting.

“It represented the bare minimum of what is needed to begin to address the desperate situation on the ground,” she added.

Guyana’s Ambassador Carolyn Rodrigues-Birkett said that the suffering of Palestinians must end, adding that her country would continue to work with fellow council members to try to achieve tomorrow what could not be achieved today.

Welsh-Children Demand “Apology” for Black-Boxer – Cuthbert Taylor [1909-1977] – Denied Title Shot Due to Colour-Bar! (21.11.2024)

21/11/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

One of the letters to the board reads: “We think that it is unfair that Cuthbert Taylor and other boxers without white, British parents were not allowed to fight for the British title. The colour bar was horrendous, horrific and disgraceful. It was not right then and it is not right now.”

It adds: “It was probably his dream to be the British boxing champion, but your colour bar stopped his dream from coming true.”

Schools that have written to the board include Cwmnedd primary in the Neath Valley, St Joseph’s Catholic junior, Port Talbot; Ysgol Gymraeg Santes Tudful in Merthyr Tydfil and Llanfaes community primary in Brecon. The number of schools involved continues to grow.

Aisling Brady Saunders, the deputy headteacher at St Joseph’s, said: “It was entirely the children’s idea to pen letters – they feel very strongly that Cuthbert Taylor, his surviving family and all boxers affected by the colour bar rule should have an apology.”

British Judah P. Benjamin [1811-1884] – “Jewish” Confederate Attorney General! (16.11.2024)

16/11/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

Many who knew Judah, however, have stated that his legal arguments and his personal views were two different things. In reality, Judah, his family, and his broader community in the South were generally in favour of slave-ownership. He believed that slaves were “property” and that a government had no right to interfere in the ownership of property. Particularly a “property” guaranteed in the 1776 Constitution. He thought that freeing slaves was impractical because this population had no idea of how to survive as free-functioning individuals. Such a transition, if it could happen at all, would take a very long time involving preparation. For those who supported slavery, these attitudes were common amongst the “White” community. Another justifying argument involved the idea that Biblical texts justified the enslavement of Africans – with slavery being god’s will. In 1862, Judah P. Benjamin was appointed Confederate Secretary of State, and he pursued the foreign policy of attempting to pursued Great Britain and France to recognise the Confederacy. In 1864, Confederate General Patrick Cleburne (of the Army of Tennessee) suggested that all the slaves in the South should be freed and immediately armed – to form “Black” Regiments in the Confederate Army. Jeferson Davis vettoed this idea (even though Judah P. Benjamin had been discussing this since 1863).

China: Unique Military Radar Developed! (16.11.2024)

16/11/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

The radar system incorporates high-power transmitter/receiver modules across an array that spans half a badminton court and has optimized power efficiency. Both of the traits enable the radar to generate substantial energy for identifying stealth targets.

In addition, it uses sophisticated algorithms, which can further enhance the system’s detection and tracking performance, and allow it to operate under an enemy’s electronic jamming interference, he noted.

Wu Peixin, a defense industry observer, said that China has become a leader in the field of anti-stealth radar, and its many radar capabilities are the best in the world.

“The new radar and its meter-wave predecessors work on different bands, so if they were deployed together, they can form a massive surveillance network that no stealth aircraft will be able to sneak through,” he said.
