The above link posted by Matilah is a 4 minute video produced by Michael Moore on Donald Trump, the anti Establishment, the anti Christ of sort. He is godsend to destroy the Establishment and return it to the dispossessed people of the USA and the rest of the world.
The people have been robbed of everything, their jobs, their cars, their dignity and self respect, their savings etc etc except their right to vote.
Nice Christmas present.
Michael Moore's career is revolved around exposing the plight of the poor and powerless. The corruption and selfishness of the elites angered him. His film Fahrenheit 9/11 is confirmation of he being an anti-establishmentarian. Both ex-President Bush and Trump are lampooned by him as jackasses. He is a left-leaning democrat and condemned all Republicans as pro-corporations and pro-Wall Street. The top 1% of his countrymen are always his favourite target of his scorn, satire, insults and criticism.

ReplyDeleteChina Should Help Trump Fight the US establishment
ReplyDeleteTrump's sudden move to yank US troops from Syria is what sets him apart from the hardline neocon advisers in his admin.
Trump’s decision represents a slap to the face of his national security adviser, John Bolton, who announced Sept 24 that “We’re not going to leave [Syria] as long as Iranian troops are outside Iranian borders, and that includes Iranian proxies and militias.”
Trump's approach focuses on objectionable Chinese behaviour, and aims just to reset the US-China relationship, which ultimately ends with a deal.
The neocons' approach focuses on China's rise as a rival superpower, and aims to block the rise of China, which points to a prolonged and deepening antagonism.
The impression that a gap has opened up between Trump and some of his advisers is strengthened by the current furore over the arrest of Meng Wanzhou, the chief financial officer of Huawei, the Chinese telecoms company. Trump apparently did not know that the arrest was coming - Bolton does - and is rumoured to have been furious when he heard about it.
Trump is backed by white US lower class anger and other populism, which went against the establishment. Ordinary Americans care about their own welfare, oppose an influx of immigrants and feel tired of being involved in the Middle East.
Dissatisfaction among ordinary people cannot be eased through traditional political measures. They turned into a voting power that attempts to break the status quo. This made President Trump confront the establishment and make shocking decisions such as the demand for a Mexican border wall which has led to the government shutdown.
Beijing believes there are now several burning fires in the US political arena and likely there will be more in the future, and China must resolutely keep those fires away from China-US ties.
Therefore, Beijing thinks China should be moderate in dealing with Trump. In fact China should help Trump fight the establishment with some headline-grabbing “wins” that reduce the size of the US trade deficit with China.
@ Christmas at my Hotel,
ReplyDeleteI love coming back to my favourite Hotel for the Christmas Holidays. Changi Terminals are all decked out in the spirit of the season...even a hardcore atheist like myself can be “touched” by humanity’s expression of Christmas --- originally a pagan feast-festival but cleverly hijacked by the Christians thousands of years ago. Good play, smart move. The world stops for Christmas --- even in places like Japan or Thailand, definitively un-Christian cultures. such is the power of belief.
Anyway, a quick cab ride back home to dump my bags, then it was off to he bars of Kampung Glam with my Singapore bros. I dropped my teetotal “lifestyle” and got stuck into 4 gin tonics and a few glasses of champagne. Ah, Singapore, how you always manage to seduce me with your cunning ways.
9pm and one of the lads discovers that he’s been locked out of his iPhone. Cannot recover, we tried everything. Jump into a cab, off to the Apple Store at Heeren in Orchard. Lucky they close at 10. One of the Apple “geniuses” --- a lovely Filipina --- sorted out the problem. My god, Orchard Road at Christmas, is STUNNING. I’ve just come from Perth where the city's decorations looked like someone did the shopping from a thrift store --- embarrassingly cheapskate!.
Got home early --- just after 1am. Decided to watch Michael Moore’s Fahrenheit 11/9 . I am a dyed-in-the-wool, paleo-libertarian --- currently one of the most hated species on the internet. Moore is definitely a leftie, and therefore I disagree with a lot of his ideas. HOWEVER, there are areas where I am in concord with him, and I like him --- he is honest, although biased, but that’s ok --- and he does GREAT WORK. Documentaries must be BIASED. A “balanced” docco is, IMO, a COP OUT. Give me your point of view, make the hard case with hard evidence and solid reasoning, and defend your position….that’s what I like, and Moore is excellent at it. Nevermind the “art”, as a craftsman of documentary filmmaking he’s right up there with people like Ken Burns; another excellent docco producer. I like BIASED...I have this thing I do called “thinking for myself (with my own set of cognitive biases)”, so I can make up my own mind on whether I agree or not with the biased ideas. Chances are we’ll both be wrong, and the truth will be as it tends to (statistically) be in the neglected middle.For the curious nerds see: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_excluded_middle
Anyway, back o enjoying glorious Singapore, where I get to spend my fucked-up Aussie Dollars, now 96 cents to 1 SGD (SGD power lah!!)
Wishing everyone peace on earth, goodwill and good health…..ah fuck that boring bullshit lah….
OK OK, wishing everyone lots of luck in the lottery or in gambling, may the flow of alcohol never cease,may you enjoy the best drugs, may you have the most explosive orgasms with the many lovers of your dreams, may the govt give you back your money, may you party hearty eat, fuck and drink as much as you like and cheat death for a long time, so you can continue eating, drinking, fucking, getting high and winning at gambling. Huat ah!🤡🤑🍸🍷🥂🍻🍺🎲🎰
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
Fahrenheit 11/9 is Michael Mòore's latest scathing attack on the administration of Donald J. Trump. It is not as successful as Fahrenheit 9/11. The difference in box office takings symbolizes how different the two eras are. Moore is no longer defining the national dialogue. The Internet has fractured how people get information. Moore had been advocating "Make America Sane Again" to his audience without much success. Meanwhile Uncle Sam's shutdown is demonstrating to the world at large that Trump is a feckless President who really doesn't know how to run the world's largest economy the world's largest reserve currency.
ReplyDeleteThis is a Black Christmas as global stock markets plunge . . .
ReplyDelete>>>got stuck into 4 gin tonics<<<
ReplyDeleteDid yev try the green colour mixture many tourists like to order in a big jug at Haji Lane?
How do yev find the taste?
Further up just before Jln Sultan there is a cafe bar where the usual drinks on many tables seem to be huge towers of alcoholic drinks ...🈵🍻🍻🍻🈵
However, drinkers should take into consideration the net social costs and not just the private costs they have to bear now?
For those long term drinkers, especially those in their early 60s, empirically it is proven that on the average, many would kena heart valves problem in a few years time before they hit 70-yo?
Valve replacement surgery easily costs around $50 grand as of now and it is a huge external costs and burden on 3rd party taxpayers who had nothing to do with the drinkers nor experienced the high enjoyed by drinkers but have to bear such costs?
Besides heart problem, excessive drinking can cause pancreatic cancer which is often quite fatal when discovered?
So perhaps it is healthier to order 4 teh-o or 4 teh-tarik next time in Kampung Glam?
The prata sold there quite good too?
Cheers ✅☕🍵🈲🍻🍷🍸🍹🍺
When Michael Moore wrote his book, "Stupid White Men" in 2001, he couldn't be writing about Trump who is now his country's president. House speaker nominee Nancy Pelosi and Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer, wrote in a joint statement on Monday accusing Trump of plunging the country into chaos amidst a growing rout in stock markets caused in part by the president’s persistent attacks on the Federal Reserve and a government shutdown. Traders also seemed to react to the sudden resignation of defence secretary James Mattis and Trump’s shock decision to pull out troops from Syria last week.
ReplyDelete@ 151,

2019 is going to be a very very bad year for ordinary people - bringing misery, despair, hopelessness - while the ebullient party for the elites carries on.
ReplyDeleteMatilar, merry Christmas. I don't love you, I don't like you but I want to sodomoze you.😀
ReplyDeleteIn 2019, Michael Moore and Ed Sheeran should be invited to every JC to speak and perform respectively.
ReplyDeleteMike to speak about Education?
Ed to sing on stage his #1 hit : "The Shape of U"?
Santa Claus is fake news, so we no longer celebrate Christmas.

@ “learned helplessness”, 218
ReplyDelete>> 2019 is going to be a very very bad year for ordinary people <<
The term “ordinary people” is way too vague. I suggest you take a few days and roam the heartlands on foot or scooter, open your eyes and ears and pay attention. The reason? Ordinary people. You won’t get ‘em more “ordinary” than observing a large sample of Heartlanders.
You might notice the following: many pawn shops open for business. Aunties and Uncles with high SIX FIGURE PASSBOOK accounts --- who live very frugally. I mentioned before I was at the Apple Store last night, and it was filled with “ordinary people” --- mostly young, 30 and below. And they were spending money (credit card lah) like their money had a “use by” date. You know most of them earn mid $2k ro mid $3k per month. What the fucking fuck are they thinking spending $1.5k+ on a phone or $3k+ on a computer at their income level?? 🙄 Insanity lah.
Go to a fancy Orchard coffee shop, you see the same deal. Young students spending $7 on a cafe-stylo-milo, or a panini/ ciabatta qua simi lan jiau --- $10.50. WTF? Go to heartlands kopitiam eat economical rice plus kopi-o lah: $6, and you are FULL. They earn say $3k, and they blow nearly twenty bucks at a coffee shop --- damn fucking DUMB lah.
For tech
: there are $200 China phones which are amazing. They can do most of the shit a $1800 iPhone can do. A $300 ChromeBook bought at SimLim can do most of what a $3000 MacBook Pro can do...at one-tenth the capital outlay. Stylo-milo is going to burn your capital faster than Jho Low can spend 1MDB money. 🤣 cheap tech is GOOD tech.
The point is that there are good money managers and just plain LOUSY money managers. Even in this blog there are many frugal uncles of respectable net worth, because they don’t suka-suka blow their cash on dumb, frivolous, shit which has no long-term value.
If you are broke during a RECESSION, especially when everyone already accepted one is on the way, and every ex-spurt has signalled loud warnings --- everyday for the last few months, then sorry to say lah….you have set yourself up for financial failure and economic calamity. no one will have sympathy for you. In Singapore’s favourite vernacular phrase: YOU DIE, YOUR BUSINESS.
anyway good luck and Merry Christmas. After Christmas, Chinese New Year lah. Huat Ah!

Sounds familiar ... Words that drug addicts like to use to rationalise their habits...
Already so old. Can more than think for themselves. It is their choice.
Don't feel sorry for them. And no need shed any tears too.

No matter what you said, don't (harbour fat) hope for people to feel sorry or sad or shed any tears for yev.
"many pawn shops open for business. Aunties and Uncles with high SIX FIGURE PASSBOOK accounts"
ReplyDeletetwisted logic lah.
Fact that there's many pawn shops open for business in HDB heartlands means many families need to pawn whatever little valuables they have to survive, to pay for the very high costs of living.
Couple of weeks back, saw a very old man likely in his eighties pushing very slowly his equally old wife in a wheelchair into a newly open Maxicash shop in AMK 8 evening time, then they came out with the wife holding 6 pieces of 50-dollar notes (instead of SIX FIGURE PASSBOOK) in her hand. We ordinary people don't go Orchard Rd, for Xmas, shopping, whatever; haven't for a very very long time . . .
Love one another, respect one another, be nice to one another and we will all live in a nice world. Its not perfect but nice is good enough. Trump will make a deal with China and save the world from WW3. He is the chosen deal maker. He will have his face planted on the mountain of Rushmore.
ReplyDelete@ 457 lagi more twisted lah
ReplyDeleteSorry to say bro, your logic even more twisted. Just because you might be having a negative experience, doesn’t mean the rest of the world does too. 🤣
Like I said, walk around the heartlands with eyes and ears wide open. You will find MANY TYPES of individuals --- those who are more rational in terms of money, and those who are less rational. Do your research. Don’t judge by anecdotal personal experience, no pakai lah. 🤪
“Singapore cost of living very high” yawn lah. Please lah, we all know that. and some survive better than others...in the heartlands, and in private condos and bungalows.
What type are you and how’s it going? Ah, reality always bites lah.
Ordinary Sinkies are trying to tell the PAP elites: "We exist!"
ReplyDeleteTrump is born on 14 Jun 1946. His stars computation according to ancient Chinese astrology is as follows (given that the time is not known):
ReplyDelete丙戌 甲午 己未
2016 (丙申) and 2017 (丁酉) were good for him.
2018 (戊戌) is generally tumultous for him.
The worst month in 2018 for him is Dec (甲子). This month is fraught with obstacles and he should refrain from insisting on his own ways and keep a low profile (otherwise it is likely to bring him more brickbats than flowers) This ordeal is likely to continue in the first week of Jan 2019. His opponents would likely pin the shutdown squarely on him and unlikely to cave in lightly to his demand without significant tradeoff from him.
Jan 2019 (乙丑) is unlikely to be smooth sailing for him as well.
His annoucement of pullout from Syria came at the most inauspicious month in 2018 for him and his advisers could have told him about it and delayed to better months later in 2019.
His reputation may have taken a big dent following the latest abrupt resignation of the Defence Secretary.
Prof Peter Navarro is bidding his time and may be given a (far) more prominent role down the road. (This may not bode well for international relations.)
Many have come and gone in the Administration (and Navarro probably knew it very well right from the start and could be playing his cards close to his chest given his training ...)
Other good international leaders should plan ahead and position to provision (well) for potential future fallout in 2019, 2020 ...
(Watch out for Jul 2019)
The above are based on ancient astrology interpretation and should be taken just that (and nothing more).
Hi 913pm
ReplyDeleteCan you do an ancient astrology interpretation of SG for 2019 and beyond?
Can?
Thank you in advance.......
Sure!
ReplyDelete2019 (乙丑) is likely to be very very bad for SG. Also 2020(丙申) , 2021 (丁酉) and 2022 (戊戌).
My pleasure !!
Anon 9.27 pm,
ReplyDeleteThere is an ancient astrology saying:
天机不可泄漏
If not might be struck by ⚡
The falling of big trees is generally not good.
Other hints are given in comments (in MSN) in 2016 and 2017.
Already hint hint about fengshui formation at GBB but too little too late?
Watch out for Mr Teochew in the coming years ... His stars haven't fallen yet based on ancient astrology interpretation.
🐔is inauspicious for Merlion unless buffeted by 🐭
The comment by 9.45pm is anyhow hantam.
2019 is not 乙丑. Anon 9.45pm knows NUTS avout ancient Chinese astrology and certainly is not 丙申, 2021 is NOT 丁酉, and 2022 is NOT 戊戌
The stars of female world leaders are fading and there will be very few female world leaders by 2024.
According to 易经 (Change Sutra), the world will be united eventually.
On an optimistic note, 2019 and 2020 could see good stars guiding the Merlion through stormy seas.
2019 and 2020 - remaining years of Trump's presidency - will be very bleak for Singapore.
ReplyDeleteWith impending GST hikes, quarrels with Malaysia, global tightening of liquidity, major powers geopolitical spats and many other headwinds, the outlook for Singapore is very very dark.
As harbinger for more ominous events to come, today is the worst Christmas day on record as Japan's Nikkei tumbled 5.01%.

ReplyDelete"As harbinger for more ominous events to come, today is the worst Christmas day on record as Japan's Nikkei tumbled 5.01%"
The stock market does not necessarily reflect what is happening in the real economy.
When the DOW was at 26,000+ earlier, was the real economy that good?
Over the past 10 months, the real economy fell by about -20% (as reflected in the US stock market)? Or in 2019, it is going to be so?
Often, it is an over-reaction? To some extent, the initial function of stock markets has been distorted (by "modern" financial "innovation")?
Currently, the turmoil in the fin mkt is more a reflection of the "political chaos" emanating from WDC? The mkt is reacting to and pricing in a shutdown (way) beyond end Dec 2018 (unless POTUS "blinks" and capitulate to his opponents)?
Over a short time, when a mkt can crash 20%, quite obvious it was a mirage (and bubble) created (to "con" the daft)?
Every cycle seems quite similar?
High tide, low tide, high tide, low tide?
Look at the before and aftermath of each crisis ...
What has changed?
The aftermath of the next crisis is quite predictable?
However, there is an added dimension?
What is not learnt in the education system will be learnt during an economic crisis and likely a shocking AWAKENING to the apathetic millenials?
1) How would they react?
2) Will they even react?
3) How would it shape their outlook?
4) Would it alter their view of intergenerational relationship?
5) How would it impact them and their handling of the world when the baton is passed to them? Would they hold the same view of their elders as before?
Could the fault also lies with the prewar and baby boomers who were in charge of the system when the millenials were born and grew up in the system created by those before them?
Such are the questions leaders (both political and community) have to ask themselves?
Have they done their part well, done a good job or they farted it all up (and gone up in smoke under their watch)?
Many oldies are probably at least 1 to 2 generations apart from the millenials and unlikely to know what millenials are into and what they are exactly thinking, especially those born nearer to the actual millenium transition period, that is pre and post 2k?
Is the outcome the fault of the millenials or the product of the system they grew up?
If it is the latter, the problem falls squarely on those who ran the system that the millenials grew up?
Don't be smug and thought you have done your part and deserve a well paved golden twilight path?
The karma might come back to haunt the older generation?
Life goes on ...
Some or many farted up along the way and wasted their whole lives leading the world towards the cliff?
