American terrorists and pirates continue to attack ships to and from Iran

The US military fired a Hellfire missile at a tanker heading towards Iran on Tuesday (Jun 2) as part of a blockade being imposed by President Donald Trump, who is pressing Tehran to negotiate a peace agreement on his terms.

The US military's Central Command posted a video showing the missile strike the tanker and said it targeted the Botswana-flagged M/T Lexie's engine room, disabling it....

"A US aircraft ultimately disabled the vessel by firing a Hellfire missile into the ship’s engine room, preventing the tanker from reaching Iran."

The Lexie is the sixth ship that the US military has disabled since it started its blockade of Iran on Apr 13. The US military says it has also redirected 122 vessels that were seeking to enter or exit Iranian ports so far.  CNA

The  official narrative or lie is that the American terrorists are putting a blockade to prevent freedom of navigation because Iran is accused of wanting to have nuclear bombs that Iran did not have, and that Iran wants to use the American fabricated bomb to attack America. Very confusing but not confusing. So the Straits of Hormuz must be closed unless Iran surrenders to the American terrorists' demands. 6 ships had been attacked in the region, and many had also been attacked in the Caribbean by the American pirates, killing at least 100 innocent sailors.

This lie and evil narrative are now been printed in the pages of American and western media and in the media of American colonies and crony states as the truth of the day. Innocent and unwary readers will be made to think and believe that the American terrorists and pirates are the good guys, wanting to open the Strait of Hormuz that they blockaded by attacking and bombing ships to stop the normal flow of shipping and trade.

The truth, the American terrorists and pirates are the bad guys that want to destroy Iran, kill Iranians and disrupt world trade. The people of the world are not so easily deceived by the American terrorists and their conspirators anymore. Iran and Iranians are NOT the bad guys. Why can't Iran have nuclear weapons when the world's number and number two terrorist states, America and Israel, can have all the nuclear weapons they want, and to threaten to nuke other countries?

The way of life of American terrorists and pirates is about wars, oppression, coercion, killings, genocides and bullying of countries that wanted to be free of the evil American Empire. Mike Pompeo, We cheat, We lie, We steal, We kill.

Emotionless AI versus infallible human beans aka when human thinking they are God

Human beans are not flawless. Every human bean is flawed, a matter of degree. If not, he will be as good as God. And this is the most frightening part when comparing AI with human, to assume that human can be completely objective, fair, unbiased, untainted by emotion, political, cultural, religious and racial attachments. When a human bean thinks he/she can be such, he/she can only be a godlike human bean. The flaws in a human bean is as bad as an objective, emotionless AI robot.

There are clear pros and cons for the two to exist in this complex world when objectivity and emotionless judgement are needed against occasions that called for the exercise of humanness and emotions. The emotionless AI is not flawless even in events that need the input of an emotionless AI intervention. For AI is the by product of human beans, be as good as the creator of the AI. Can be programmed to be good or bad, intentionally or otherwise.

On the other hand, the argument that human can be objective and flawless is just as flawed. No human bean can be flawless or free from other influences. To assume that human can be perfect, flawless in making judgements and decisions is itself flawed. Only very conceited human beans would take such a position that human beans are better than AI when human judgement is needed.

We have heard of statistics lie. AI can lie as much if it is programmed to lie. Human by nature, lie and lie for selfish and vested interests. This is being human. If not, then that human is as good as God. Apparently there are many such humans floating around with a halo over their heads.

There is a place for AI and for human to coexist together. Only the wise can balance the two for a better result to fit the moment and situation. Both can be just as good and can be equally bad. It is all about the intent and purpose of a particular situation and the outcome. One can make a case that AI is better and also make a case that human judgement is better. For anyone to take a strong stand that one is better than the other is a big warning sign of danger.

Imaginary truths no need fact checking

The shouting on rooftops about India being the biggest democracy in the world and its expanding population dividend to be reaped is fast becoming a sick joke. The West started the rooftop shouting, thinking this will unsettle China, with its falling population, and the Hindu fanatics began to believe that just the shouting will bring about the reality. That fake reality hit India like a ton of bricks right from the starting block. But the Hindu fanatics are still stuck in the Modi cult culture, unable to discern the difference between a mirage and reality.

As I said before, India must start to realize its vulnerabilities, accept it, refrain from making comparisons to others that are to no avail, change its mindset, temper its bloated ego, do the necessary changes before conditions get worse instead of better, instead of getting too embroiled in showboating to please the USA.

India must realize that the USA is just cultivating it for the purpose of countering China. Do the Indians honestly believe that the USA will allow India to become the next China? The USA had already said that it will not allow India to become the next China, loudly proclaimed in fact. No need to do fact checking. In reality, fact checking is all nonsense when a war against Iraq can be waged just using fabricated evidence that no MSM think it necessary and proper to do any fact check. Moreover, anything that comes out of Trump's motor mouth today is taken as the truth, without anybody having the audacity to do some fact checking before reporting it on MSM as trustworthy news.

American terrorists continue to countries with its exploitative doctrine to profit from destroy other economies

The USA and the West had already complained loudly that China is not playing by Western rules in its economic planning infrastructure. In other words, China is not allowing the West to exploit its economic vulnerabilities and let the West run riot to destroy its economy. Why should China follow USA and Western rules to give Western system a justification to gloat, when its own designed system with capitalist touch is usurping the democratic system of the West.

After all, China knows that this is the pre-occupation of the USA and the West to bring China down on its knees, using all efforts, from religion, to drugging, to trade wars, to tariff wars and now technology wars centering on AI and data centers and putting energy squeeze on China.

The West had been playing this game for decades, investing big money in exploitable countries and then suddenly pulling out investments when it is time to punish those countries for not toeing the line. The use of hedge funds to undermine a country's financial system is the usual modus operandi. Even the UK suffered such an episode under the hands of George Soros and Scott Bessant. We have also seen how they attacked Thailand's financial system bringing on the Asian Financial Crisis of 1997.

China refused to allow Hong Kong's financial system to be attacked by George Soros and Scott Bessant, resulting in Soros suffering losses that he is still leaking his wounds and harboring disdain against China. Elsewhere, we have seen the attempt to bring down India by concentrating attacks on its big conglomerates not too long ago. The USA has many ways to do that as rating agencies and big banks are all under its control and being used to carry out its agenda.

Vietnam had been targeted too not long ago and is probably still being targeted for being the big outsourcing destination for Chinese investments. Which is why Vietnam is treading a very careful path, knowing it is in the crosshairs of the ongoing geopolitical tussle between USA and China in South-East Asia.

It is all coming together. Every country is on Trump's menu

It is all coming together. USA forced the Europeans to buy its oil by sanctioning Russian oil sold at huge discount to Europe on top of destroying the Nord Stream pipelines.

USA attempted to cut off Russian oil sold to China by threatening to impose sanctions on China if China does not comply. China just showed the USA its middle finger. After all, sanctions are becoming a moot point if decoupling is already the mindset of the Chinese. All that the Chinese have to do is sell less and less to the USA and more and more to the Global South.

The Indians were also threatened from buying Russian oil and being caught with testicles entangled in seaweed. To add insult to injury, the Indians are now being told to buy USA oil stolen from Venezuela. The Indians were initially being warned to get permission to buy oil from Russia, for just one month only. With no bargaining chip, I think India will have to comply.

But let us wait and see, as the USA is not going to accept rupees for sure. So, with what is India going to pay for Venezuelan oil? That tells us that instead of following the de-dollarization agenda of BRICS, India is doing the exact opposite - helping to support the US$ hegemony.
