 Suspicious ‘consulting firm’ website trying to hire former Singapore foreign ministry personnel

SINGAPORE: At first glance, Dr Jade Chan’s resume on the website of the Great Vision consultancy firm looks impeccable.

The self-professed former Singapore diplomat supposedly served in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ diplomatic missions in Jakarta, Hanoi and Brussels, and was an adviser at the ASEAN Secretariat. She holds a PhD in international relations from the London School of Economics and has dealt with weighty matters like the South China Sea dialogues and bilateral trade negotiations as part of her “20 years of experience in international diplomacy and strategic analysis”.

But Dr Chan’s claims about being a Singapore diplomat are fabricated. Singapore’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) said in response to queries from CNA that Dr Chan, billed as one of Great Vision’s key leaders, had never worked at the ministry....

CNA also found that the three most recent articles on the Global Asia website reproduced work by Taiwanese and American think-tanks, word-for-word, and without credit. CNA

There are increasing reports of fake foreign websites appearing and targeting Singapore and Singaporeans. And interestingly, these websites will be found to be from certain countries, with links easily traced to certain countries, including the names that said where they are from. The intent is obvious. The country being implicated is obvious. Definitely not from the American terrorists. It must be such countries that are going to damage Singapore and harm Singaporeans.

Big question to ask, which are the countries that are so amateurish to be so easily caught, often red handed or confessing who they are? Which countries have the intention and interest to harm Singapore? Which countries have the most resources allocated to do such works, including false flag incidents? Which countries are the best in website espionage? Would the experts from a state agency be so stupid and elementary to create websites so that they can be easily traced and caught?

There is a saying, if it is too good to believe, beware! If all the fingers are obviously pointing to one source, beware! Watch the originator of such websites and what is their intent, who is to gain and who is to lose from it. Never believe in the media, main or social media. There are so many scams and impersonation. Some countries are spending big money to play this silly game to dupe the silly and stupid to believe their fake stories and narratives.

Who are the gullible and imbeciles that think the provocateurs are so naive and allowing themselves to be caught with their pants down, or with their names written in their foreheads? It is as good as telling everyone who they are. Who is being misled or who is trying to mislead the readers?

Arab and Muslim states looking for independence and self reliance

 Commentary: A new ‘NATO of the East’? Why the Mecca pact isn’t quite what it seems

The agreement signed by Saudi Arabia, Türkiye and Pakistan is an experiment in regional self-reliance, says this professor. KAMLOOPS, Canada: Saudi Arabia, Türkiye and Pakistan have signed the Mecca Joint Defence Pact, a new collective defence arrangement that connects the Middle East with South Asia. Its central promise is striking: An armed attack against any one of the three countries will be treated as an attack against them all. This language has prompted comparisons with NATO, whose members make a similar commitment under Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty.

By bringing together a major global oil producer (Saudi Arabia), a NATO member with an expanding defence industry (Türkiye) and a nuclear-armed state (Pakistan), this agreement has the potential to reshape security dynamics across the Middle East, South Asia and the Indian Ocean. CNA

The Arab and Muslim states are showing signs of independence and wanting to chart their own future. This is a good start. For a long time, all international institutions and organisations were cooked by the Americans to serve the American interests, not the interests of the sucker countries they roped in as members. The Arabs were like the sheep, being led into all sort of silly organisations by the Americans and Israelis, telling them that the organisations are good for them. 

It is good that the Arab and Muslim states are starting to form organisations of their own to serve their own interests. But they must always beware of the American and Israeli terrorists operating behind the curtain to hijack whatever they created. They must always be on guard for traitors, sleepers and moles.

Many international organisations are cropping up without the Americans in them today. Countries of the world have many bad experiences of being played by the Americans inside out and outside in and are wary of the American terrorists. The signs are all there. Where the American terrorists cannot control international organisations they will walk out, stop funding, or start to attack such institutions.

Hope the Arab and Muslim states can find their own feet and chart their own destiny without being the puppets of the American and Israeli terrorists.

What is the threat of this Mecca Joint Defence Pact or who is it directed against? It is high time that the Arab and Muslim states get their acts together, work together as one unified force instead of being played by the Americans and Israelis to fight among themselves and kill themselves for the interests of the Americans and Israelis.

American balls are stuck either between a rock or a hard place

 They assumed that they always are thinking years ahead. But they know the USA debt can never be repaid, and they are still sticking to that belief that it is still the safest bet.

I think their balls are stuck either between a rock or a hard place, so even knowing that it is untenable is of little use. When the balls are stuck like the Arabs and Marcos Jr, what is the alternative. None! Have to keep helping to flog a dead horse and hope it will run again. Now that is a far-fetched hope of utter hopelessness.

Well, what else can we expect from those who are still betting on India. Just imagine that while Air India is losing big money, SIA is still happily plugging the black hole, hoping to profit in the long run. They say that fools rush in where angels fear to tread. Even angels fear to tread is how serious the warning.

Interest payments on the US$40 trillion debt by the USA are well over a trillion dollars, bigger than the GDP of the top 20 countries of all the 193 countries in the world. More than 170 countries have a GDP well below a trillion, including you know who.

The irony is that having the privilege of unlimited money printing creates an unfairness for the rest of the world and it is time to remove that privilege once and for all. The rest of the world can only have one more chance at doing that through BRICS de-dollarization agenda. That is the only lifeline available going forward. Think about it.

South Koreans have slowly woken up

>>>CCL aka REDBEAN: "Moreover, I believe the South Koreans have slowly woken up and knows what is more important to them."<<<
In 1992, when Bill Clinton was campaigning against George Bush Snr, his famous slogan was:

"It's the economy, STUPID!"

Bill Clinton went on to win in the US 1992 Nov Presidential Election.

Late last month (Jul 2026), the Korean stock market literally went into a freefall ... for that to happen, usually retail money $$$ aka individual retail investors are involved in that there was severe cascading feedback loop effect leading to massive forced liquidation. Why retail investors involved is because most, if not all the time, they are the last group to enter at the end of a bull market that is about to tank or burst ...

Though the Korean stock market has recovered about 20% to date from the late Jul 2026 lows, most retail investors probably already had their portfolios wiped out. From news reports, many are highly leveraged aka "investing with borrowed funds". With many staring at huge losses and loans, what concerned them most is how to pay back [the humongous debt] and live a normal life again... (and NOT about geopolitics etc.)

Historically, this is the same everywhere. The end game is about people (always), NOT about geopolitics etc...

Joker Bessent still living in the past of unipolar world

 WASHINGTON: The US will impose "the toughest sanctions in history" on Iran, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said on Thursday (Aug 20), a focus on economic measures he suggested would lessen the need for new major military operations against Tehran.

His statement followed President Donald Trump's threat a day earlier of "Economic Warfare" and warning of economic consequences against any country that provided "any type of lifeline to Iran". CNA

Stammering clown Bessent still thinks the American terrorists can bully the world by coercion, sanctions and tariffs and the use of force. He forgot that the days of unipolar world is now in the past. America is now an island, not the sole empire of the world. And sanctions no longer work. 

The mother of all sanctions were thrown at Russia, and what happened? Russia is now much stronger and richer. But the silly European allies and American cronies have to bite the dust. They are the ones that are really sanctioned, not Russia. These silly American allies and cronies are sanctioning themselves. The rest of the world does not need any American or European goods.

The world is used to the American silly game and has developed many ways, options, systems and institutions to bypass the American sanctions. The Americans can sanctions all they like, but the world goes on as if nothing has happened. The only country being sanctioned is the America. The Americans are in effect building walls around themselves, not trading with the world while the world is happily trading among themselves without the Americans.

Soon the world will sanction the use of the American dollar. That will be the day when no one wants to use the dollar except the Americans.
