Pete Hegseth and his kinds are the classic American savages pretending to be civilised...like American classic comic books depicting Red Indians as savages and deserving of being killed and their lands robbed by the white men holding a Bible

 In the 'golden' or brutal days of European colonisation of America, the genocide of the native Americans was legitimised by calling them savages. The white men, with Bible in one hand, and guns in the other, went about systematically massacring every native American they found. Those that lived were treated as slaves or inhuman, tortured and brutally abused daily. The whites then were very proud of what they were doing, no sin, no crime, because they were dealing with savages that did not have rights as a human bean.

The real savages then were the white men. Period. But they wrote all the stories and fictions and used Hollywood to glorify their barbaric crimes against humanity, against the native Americans. Till today, many rednecks and hillbillies still did not see any wrong in what their ancestors had done. The whites were God's people, sent to America to civilise the native Americans, the savages. If they refused to be civilised, give up their lands, just slaughtered them like animals. This is the pride of the white Americans, their so called democracy and free world, freedom to kill the native Americans, freedom to take their lands, their women, their everything.

Many unthinking still believe the white men's fiction and myths and refused to want to know how they genocided the native Americans, more than 100 millions of them over two centuries of racist and hate crimes. The whites practised apartheid first in America. The unthinking, especially the Anglophiles, find it very difficult to admit that they were fooled by the American narratives and Hollywood, that they were too stupid to see through the white men lies.

Pete Hegseth and his rogues in Washington are trying to repeat the same story on the Iranians. To this beast, he cannot see anything wrong with what the white men had done to the native Indians. And that is a decent playbook to be used against the Iranians. He insanely stood up to call the Iranians as the baddest people, and he and his rogues are going to kill them all, with no quarters left untouched. And his idol, war criminal Trump, told the dull leaders in the UN, he was going to annihilate the Iranian people from the face of this earth. And they clapped or do nothing, afraid to condemn Trump.

The really bad people, the baddest people, the savages, the barbarians, are people like Trump and Pete Hegseth and gang. Not true? You got to put your head in the urinal and have a good flush, if that helps. The barbaric savages in America, not only in Washington, did not see anything wrong in invading Iran and wanting to kill Iranians. The Iranians are just human beans living their own lives thousands of miles from America. What the fark have the American savages the right to cross the ocean to kill them them?

Human decency and morality have gone down the sewers. The world is accepting this cruel and barbaric act of the American savages, to kill Iranians, mothers, school girls, babies and all. ...afraid to condemn the savages of their devilish crime against humanity. The American savages will pay Hollywood to glorify their killings of the Iranians, just like how they glorified their killings of the native Americans, 'How the West was won'. And the unthinking will pay to watch the American classic movies on how brave the American savages were in killing Iranians like how the cowboys massacred the native Americans.

Anyone still has any doubt who are the baddest in the world, the barbarians, the savages. Oh, it can't be them. They wore branded and expensive suits and ties, and with makeups, mascara, eyelashes, they looked so suave and good, like Hollywood actors and actresses.

Nothing better to do American political clowns want to ban everything Chinese

And what does the USA do as usual? Banning everything related to China. This is not going to work. The USA market is no longer a top priority for Chinese exports, just a fraction of China's global export of US$3.38 trillion, with a 'T'. China's export to the USA is a mere US$370 billion, about 11% of China's total global exports.

The glaring fact is that anything sold to the global south makes little difference to China compared to the USA. China sells them at the same price, incur the same costs, makes the same profit, keeps the manufacturer's facilities humming, keep expanding the market in the global south and does not have to worry about trade wars and tariffs increases by the USA.

Now, the Pentagon is going to ban the Chinese Confucius Institute for National Security Issues. Will the USA also ban migrating birds flying across China or the clouds that float across China for National Security reasons. It is becoming a situation where the USA will even be threatened by its own shadow and must ban the sun for shining and casting such shadows.

On the one hand the USA wants to cut off Chinese goods while on the other hand asking China to sell more rare earth magnets for its military industrial complex and manufacturing entities. Why should China do that, knowing that rare earth magnet export is also a threat to China's National Security, enabling the USA and its allies to build more weapons for targeting China. Who in the world is that stupid? They think the Chinese are the ones that are always stupid.

With wars and troubles everywhere, China's tourism will get a boost

And China's tourism industry is going to benefit from countries with tourists now shunning away like Thailand and Bali. This will be China's opportunity to further leverage on the chaos in Europe with protests breaking out and contagion rearing its head. Several European countries are facing protest, with even Israel having a taste. Some analysts expect the USA to be next on the line. Let us wait and see.

The more foreign tourists visit China, the better for the economy of China. China need not spend an arm and a leg to counter the USA propaganda machine. The foreign tourists will do the countering free of charge when they talk about the situation in China - the infrastructures, airport-like train stations, the high-speed transport system, the low cost of living, the cleanliness on the streets and the patriotism shown by the Chinese overall.

China is a very huge country, full of historical sites across the country. Visiting China is not a one day or one week discovery tour like Singapore. It takes months to cover the whole of China if one is adventurous enough with one visit. Most will visit China again and again to cover itineraries they could not do so during one visit. There are so much to see and experience. Such foreigners visiting China will fuel hotel occupancy rates and other services catering to the tourism industry. This is another sector that will grow to dominate global tourism eventually. Let not the West tell China to slow down this sector as well, in other words curb its overcapacity as well.

Manifestation of the failure of democracy,

 What is happening around the world today is the manifestation of the failure of democracy, igniting a realization that the system is rigged by the Government of the rich, by the rich and for the rich.

When middle class citizens that once could live in relative ease and comfort are cannibalized by the superrich and being erased and falling into the same position as the underprivileged, we know the system has failed.

A democracy is supposed to give citizens a chance to choose a government that is going to work for them and look after everyone, rich or poor. But the actual outcome says otherwise. Take Trump as an example who cuts taxes for the super-rich and imposed an added tax masquerading as tariffs hoping to patch the hole resulting from the tax cuts for the already rich elites by punishing the poor.

A system cannot just continue to fool its citizens all the time. When stomachs are hungry and jobs are scarce, the result is going to be chaos and demonstrations. Sure, such protest can be put down with force, but the problem does not just go away. It festers and gets worse over time.

Why should one be paid in the millions?

 Technology has taken leaps and bounds in the last few decades and made great strides for the good of mankind. The AI Industrial Revolution has changed the world beyond recognition especially in the demands for talents and jobs. Yes, jobs in the new world will not be the same again. The days of 'la kopi', making the best nasi lemak or the best chicken rice could still be around but a tiny shadow of itself. 

The new jobs are highly demanding of talents, real technical talents and expertise, playing with massive halls filled with computers stacked with million or billion dollar chips, not potato chips. The data centres are frightening in their complications, with wires worming everywhere, and lights flickering too, making no sense, without any indication of what they were doing. The factories that were operateing by hundreds and thousands of robots without the need for human presence are not masak, masak, not playing with toys. The people that created them, managed them, operated them, are not the simple talents coming out casually from the mouths. These are highly educated and trained experts and they are being paid in the millions or billions. Many of them are billionaires running these operations. What is running through their minds, getting the computers and machines to do the work is simply amazing. No one would dare to ask why they are being paid in the millions.

On the other hand, the old industries, the food and beverage industries, the transport industries, managing buses, trains and taxis, are still churning along, necessary, daily necessities of lives. The chicken rice operators will be here forever. The big question is, why are these people demanding to be paid in the millions? How much talent and complexities are needed to manage a supermarket, a shoe factory, a restaurant, a post office etc etc that they too should be paid in the millions? What have changed in their jobs demands, what special skills, technical skills, special training are needed to manage the industries of the past, the businesses of the past? 

Should operators of chicken rice stalls, nasi lemak and kopitiams be paid in the millions? How much have their job specifications changed? How more technical demands are needed, necesssary to do these jobs? It is easy to ask to be paid in the millions. But are they justified? Have the jobs changed or day in and day out doing the same repetitive stuff?

What do you think?
