Will Trump finally get to meet Xi in Beijing?

 So far the signs are there that the meeting will be on. The Americans are very hopeful that it will happen and have already despatched Trump's bullet proof armoured car to Beijing. Beijing is still mum when asked about the meeting in May 14/15. The official Chinese position is that there is nothing to report about this meeting, not confirming nor denying that it would take placee.

Many American ass kissing countries would be proudly telling the whole world that the great clown President of the USA will be visiting their country, an event to be proud of. The visit by an American President, even if he is a clown or a scumbag, is a very big event. They might even mint commemorative coins for this special event. 

China on the other hand did not seem to care about this visit, like a non event. No news, not willing to report about it. To China, this is nothing to celebrate or to look forward to. This is an unfriendly meeting. What is so great about this scumbag visiting China? And the purpose of this visit is more like 'hong men yan', 鸿门宴, a dangerous and deadly meeting of two parties. Xi is not happy about this meeting. Trump is pretending to be smiling but carrying a dagger to the meeting. The show will go on, but what will come out from it?

Trump have thrown several punches at Xi and is coming with a list of demands for China to obey, like buying more soya beans, buying Boeing planes, buying downgraded chips that China did not want, buying more American debt, stop dedollarisation, and stopping supplying arms to Iran, selling more rare earths to America, etc etc. It is a gangster trying to bully and coerce China.

Xi have taken the blows in silence, at best trying to ward them off. Everyone is watching how Xi will respond to Trump's pressure. Xi can continue to appease the Americans and agree to all the demands of the gangster Trump. Xi can take a strong stand against the American demands and said no. Or Xi can make some compromises, some trade off on a quid quo pro basis.

So far, Xi had been giving in to Trump in most of the meetings. Would this meeting be different? The first sign that Xi may take a stronger stand this time is the defiance against American sanctions on China's teapot refineries. Xi has ordered all Chinese banks and companies to ignore this American sanctions with the passing of a new law against American gangsterism and extraterritorial jurisdiction. Would this coming meeting be a repeat of the Alaska Meeting when China showed the middle finger at the Americans? Xi is too polite to do so but can do it in a polite but firm way to say no to the American gangsters.

The world is watching how Xi is going to respond to the scumbag this time. The Chinese people too will be watching. The Japanese and Taiwanese, the Iranians, the Russians, Indians and all the BRICS countries will be watching. Will China finally stand up to the American gangsters?

Countries are very happy with Trump for the high oil prices

Iran does not have to target USA warships to close the Strait of Hormuz. Iran just has to create a fear in shipowners and insurers alike to make the USA's plan to escort ships through the Strait of Hormuz an exercise in futility. And Iran is just doing that now. Killing a few roosters will teach the monkeys to obey and not let them be lulled into a false sense of safety just because USA warships are escorting them. The Gulf oil producers found that out the hard way and are regretting.

Several ships have already been targeted, with oil prices spiraling, with the risk of running the Strait of Hormuz intensifying and the energy crisis escalating.

How much oil stockpiles do countries still have that have not already been exhausted? How much oil can the USA release from its stockpile to keep oil prices down?

Oil rationing is already in place in many countries. That tells the whole story. And that is just the tip of the iceberg. It will get worse shortly but will surely get better in time to come. Maybe two to five years later. Very assuring but that timeline spells doom for many.

Oil prices sky high but Middle East oil producers have no revenue, American terrorists said cannot sell

It does not need fossil fuel to run out eventually. Just replacing the bulk of fossil fuel consumed globally with renewables is enough to do damage to oil producers all over the world. Oil too cheap from less demand is detrimental to the bottom line of oil producers. Moreover, there is a certain line to look at regarding cost of production and break-even point. Cutting down production also does the same to the oil producers. Just look at the Middle East oil producer's predicament in just two months of blockade.

Countries like the USA can continue to lead the fight against climate change by calling it a hoax, against the adoption of EVs, demonizing wind turbines for killing birds, demonizing solar panels for spying and promoting gloom and doom about dams in China and everywhere else using environmental issues. All having the motive to monopolize global fossil fuel under its total control all targeting particularly China but hurting allies as well. The seizing of Iraqi oil and Venezuelan oil were just part of the deal, with Iranian oil now on the cards. The USA already controlled the Gulf States oil production, so whether the USA takes over or not is a moot point.

With the world now seeing the problem with fossil fuel starting to migrate largely to renewables, it does pose a question to the USA about whether controlling global oil production makes any meaningful purpose in time to come. China will just show the way to de-fossilization and benefitted from a world migrating its energy needs. China is to be the thorn in the side of the USA in energy matters in the coming decades.

Another silly interpretation of Operation Kill Iranians dubbed Project Freedom by the white savages

CANBERRA: President Donald Trump’s Project Freedom lasted just two days. The United States mission to guide ships through the Strait of Hormuz supported only two vessels exiting the Gulf before it was suspended on Tuesday (May 5).

Iran had disrupted the critical waterway – through which roughly 20 per cent of global oil supply passes – to gain leverage in the war. Given the impact on the global economy, one question might seem obvious: Why has the US Navy, the world’s most powerful navy, not simply restored safe passage through the strait?...

The problem is that forcing open the Strait of Hormuz would be an asset-intensive and operationally demanding mission. The challenge of operating in this chokepoint is geography....

... Project Freedom. The mission was intended to guide limited numbers of ships through the strait using destroyers, more than 100 aircraft and 15,000 military personnel – not to restore normal commercial traffic. Jennifer Parker, CNA

The world of the whites has always been the same, they own the world and they rule the world. Period. The closing of the Strait of Hormuz is caused by Iran. And the goody white men are there to open the Strait. Project Freedom, another white men's lie, is to free the Strait for shipping. The white men will not want to know why the Strait is closed in the first place. Iran is the devil, the trouble maker.

Now the white men are going to save the world from the 'bad' Iranians, sending thousands of troops, hundreds of warplanes and warships to save the world. It is a massive and difficult military operation.

Really? The white savages still think that Killing Iranians for no good reason is believeable and the world supports them in this evil ethnic cleansing scheme. The solution to an open and free Strait of Hormuz is so simple, so easy, does not need a single soldier, warplane or warship. Just get the white savages out of the Middle East, tell them to stop Killing Iranians. Everything will be back to normal, with free movement and trade through the Strait of Hormuz. Stop the vicious white men's lie. 

The white men are the real devils that closed the Strait of Hormuz in order to Kill Iranians. Go to hell, you demonic beasts. Stop the Killing of Iranians. The world is a peaceful place without the white devils starting wars and killing other human beans at their whims and fancies and fabricated lies.

Is this so difficult to understand? There is no need to spend a cent or sacrifice the life of an American boy or girl. Just stop this demonic scheme to Kill Iranians. The white men are the devils, the demons that caused the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and death and destruction in the Middle East. Get that?

Operation Kill Iranians - The American and Israeli terrorists cannot last

 The American and Israeli terrorists cannot hold on much longer in this demonic scheme to kill Iranians, Arabs and Muslims. Israel is too small a place, depends on imports of almost everything, oil, food and water. Everyday the war goes on is a day they are drawing down their stockpiles of everything. Their economy and daily life are crippled, no more economic activities, no more trade. How long can the Israelis last? Iran, the Arab and Muslim states can just wait for Israel to collapse, implode from within. Their wet dreams of quick victories, short decisive wars are now a faded dream. The Arab and Muslim states can go on and on, but not Israel. Wait for Israel to declare a state of emergency, shortage of food and fuel and everything. This day will come very soon.

The bigger picture is the American terrorists. 3 aircraft strike groups and at least 20 warships, and hundreds of aircraft, and 70,000 troops, all needs to be fed and comforted. The supply chain is too long and fractured. Other than the tiny strip of Israel to launch their wars, there is no safe ground for the American forces to stay safe and be replenished.

The Americans are fighting a long distance war that they took for granted with superiority in weapons and supply chain, and the ability to win a short decisive war before running out of supplies. More than two months have passed, and supplies are running short. Their allies are not helping, not providing the support and bases for the American terrorists. Saudi Arabia just told the Americans, enough is enough. Saudi bases will not be allowed to be used against Iran. The Americans have no where to prepare, to regroup and launch their attacks on Iran.

The worse scenario is in the Indian Ocean. The naval might of the American armada are not static toys. They need food, fuel, water and resupplies of weapons. Where are these going to come from? The Straits of Bab El Mandeb and Hormuz are closed. Diego Garcia is a small island with limited food, water and fuel. The Americans have no safe bases in Africa. The one and only port of call is Mumbai, India, where there is an agreement with India to provide support and supplies. Singapore is a bit too far except for R&R if the Americans have the luxury of time and space. Hanging and floating around in the Indian Ocean is not like sitting in South Vietnam or Saigon.

Not only that supplies and logistics are the only problems, the boys and girls will go mad without their fun and drugs, floating in the Indian Ocean, doing nothing, under the hot tropical sun is no joke. And apparently food, water and basic needs are in short supply.  They will burn more warships to relieve themselves and go home.

How long can they last? 4 American warships, including an aircraft carrier, had been set on fire to force the ships to return home. Logistical support in the Indian Ocean is not a matter of simply printing money. Two months is about the maximum for the warships to hang on before fatigue and morale will defeat their endurance and morale. 

Then there is the whole world that depends on oil to get by. How long can the countries now, with their oil stockpiles running dry, hang on before being forced to voice out and condemn the American terrorists? The idiots and numbskulls may still want to blame Iran. Many economies will grind to a halt. And so will the American economy as well. One American airline is down, and more on the way. The Americans are not shielded from the high cost of living and will rise against this mindless war by the clown regime in Washington. The American public are the victims of the Washington rogues. They will not be spared for being dragged into a war to fight  for the Israelis against the interests of the American people. The daft Americans cannot remain daft for too long when their pockets are hurt, when they cannot put enough food on the table.

Iran is used to deprivation and would not miss a beat. Their supply lines are actually shorter and more efficient than those of the Americans and the Israelis. The longer this war drags on, the more painful it will be for the Americans and the Israelis, and unfortunately for the rest of the world, the people that are afraid to call out the American and Israeli terrorists...so nice, so peace loving, so civilised to want to kill a civilisation of people.

And the best part, China and Russia are winning everyday. Nothing is amissed in China or Russia. Life goes on for the Chinese and Russians. They are the two least affected countries from this war. Russia is making a pile from the high prices of oil. China's trade with the rest of the world is growing exponentially and the net profits for 2026 is going to surpass 2025 by a wide margin.

Thanks to lunatic Trump and his Washington clowns. See how long they can keep up with their pretenses of winning, winning and winning.

Trump again said he wants to wipe out 90m Iranians. The Americans, Jews and Europeans are supporting him

Trump is again saying that if Iran targets USA warships in the Middle East, he is going to blow Iran from the face of the earth. No more just blowing Iran to the stone age but eradicating more than 90 million Iranians from the face of the earth. That had been the same mantra chanted when Trump was trying to threaten Kim Jong Un to de-nuclearize years ago.

Now, Iran is a five-thousand-year civilization that has gone through annihilation before by the Romans partially and the Mongols totally among others. Not only did Iran survive, but the invaders were eventually absorbed and assimilated into the Iranian culture, behavior and system. Not only did the invaders not able to impose their culture and behavior on the conquered Iranians, but they were instead under the influence of their defeated enemy. That Iran could rise despite all those annihilation attempts says a lot about its tenacity and resilience.

Now, this is the same scenario that happened against China, another five-thousand-year civilization that withstood all the attempts to tear it apart. China had been under Mongol rule of Genghis Khan and history tells us that the Mongols, instead of imposing its culture on the Chinese during the Yuan Dynasty, were reported to discard their nomadic lifestyle and being assimilated and adopting the Chinese way of life and Governance of the country.

That is also the case with the Northern China nomadic Manchus that ruled China under the Qing Dynasty. The Manchus tried to impose its culture on the rest of China by force but failed. The Dynasty was to be the last to rule China. Each time China was humiliated but rose again and again.

Trump is now upping the ante by imposing sanctions on five Chinese oil refineries, possibly an attempt to faking the upper hand in his coming meeting with Xi. China responded by asking those Chinese refineries to just ignore the USA sanctions. This red line had never been crossed by China before and China is now doing it, telling the USA not to interfere in China's internal oil policy and legal import of Iranian oil that the UN had never sanctioned.

America, if cannot win, lie, cheat, steal and kill, ...just lie that China stole American tech

Chinese robot manufacturers target adoption by its Chinese factories. Elon Musk targets selling robots to households, for serving tea, mopping the floor and making the bed. Two different paths for adoption just like AI in USA and in China.

If I do not understand wrongly, USA AI developers are thinking of making a pile collecting monthly fees from those wanting to adopt their systems, while Chinese AI developers are looking at mass adoption of its open-source system enabling users to tinker and to improve on it. USA developers have poured in hundreds of billions to develop their system and wants to claw back all the money poured in. Chinese developers on the other hand are developing AI systems on the cheap, but not highly inferior to USA developers. The final outcome will determine who is going to win the AI war.

Is China, with its untouchable position in global filing of patents of new inventions, really is stealing USA technology as we are led to believe? If the USA has, let us assume, filed 10,000 patents, and China has 15,000 patents, how is it possible for China to steal an extra 5,000 patents from the USA that it still does not own?

The Israelis love Jesus and Virgin Mary?

 

A photograph appearing to show an Israeli soldier placing a cigarette in the mouth of a statue of the Virgin Mary in southern Lebanon has sparked outrage online.

The image, which surfaced on Wednesday, was reportedly taken in the predominantly Christian village of Dibil, near the border with Israel, and uploaded to social media by IDF soldiers....

In April, video from the same village showed an Israeli soldier smashing a statue of Jesus Christ in the face with a large mallet during the ongoing ground operation in southern Lebanon. The crucifix was later photographed with its face destroyed alongside the biblical quote, “Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do,” posted on the town’s official page.   RT

Many Christians will bend backwards to side with the Jews for sharing the same God, forcing themselves to ignore the fact that Jesus was killed by the Jews, that the Jews did not believe in Jesus, only in Judaism, in their own God, the God of Israel. The Bible of the Jews did not have the New Testament, no Jesus or Virgin Mary. Period.

Incidents of the Jews attacking and insulting Christians in Palestine and Lebanon are all over the place, repeated over and over again. The Jews have no love lost for the Christians or Catholics. 

Electing bad and unwise leaders is the first step towards disaster...even losing the country

 The first step in the decline and fall of a country is a daft population electing an equally daft head of state or govt. Look no further than the countries in Asean. Look a bit further is Europe, all run by halfwits. And the glowing example for all, still being admired and believed to be their saviour, is the USA for electing a pea brain scumbag in Trump. We are now seeing history unfolding in fast forward mode in the decline of the evil American Empire. No amount of propaganda and shit news can save America from this demon called Trump. 

A bad leader, an unwise leader, when in position of power, will think he is the genius, the one to lead the country to prosperity. But his little brain will lead him to make decisions that will lead the country to the abyss. One wrong policy is all it takes. And the mistakes will be compounded with more mistakes to cover the original sin. Instead of leading a country towards growth and prosperity, he will take it to a corner, with all the doors closed. By the time the writing is on the wall, there will be no turning back, when good options and alternatives disappeared and every new path taken is a bad choice, even shit will be considered good, the best of the worst available when nothing good is available. Gambling and hoping to win becomes the norm, with all precautions thrown to the wind.

Making friends with the devils, siding with the devils, buying junks from the devils will be the only way to go. Buying poor and aged weapons from the Americans, paying through the nose, and not being delivered. Everything must wait for American approval, afraid to offend the Americans as if the Americans are their fathers. This is the shameful state of affair of a failed state led by halfwit leaders, worst, traitors. The fault does not lie solely on the unwise leaders, but on the people that elected the unwise leaders.

The Taiwanese have the choice to be first class Chinese citizens, citizens of the biggest economy in real terms, and can walk around with heads held high. They choose to be shameless people that called the Americans father, and the Japanese as their mother. America and Japan are two of the most vicious states in the world, killed the most people in the world in WW2 and for the Americans, now and still doing it. The Americans are the most evil terrorist state in the world, committing genocides, conducting endless wars, bullying, threatening and coercing every country in the world for world hegemony. Japan is craving to return to its evil and barbaric past, to start wars and conquest, to be a military superpower, to be an empire.

And the Taiwanese are kneeling in front of these two evil states when they do not have to. They are Chinese and China is no longer a poor backward country to be bullied and despised. China is over taking America in every field, in every way. Forget about Japan. Japan is not much better than has been British Empire. Any wild move by the Japanese will see their termination as a civilisation by China, Russia and the Koreans.

Taiwan is a joke. It is a renegade breakaway island of China and will return to China at China's own time and choosing. Only the dullest mind will think Taiwan can breakaway from the motherland. Taiwan has no friends except a few leeches each with a population of not more than a couple of millions and the poorest micro states in the world. These tiny states have absolutely no value to Taiwan except to put up a fictitious facade that the Taiwan President has a place to visit to be received as a president. To these tiny states, Taiwan is just an ATM, a silly ATM that will give them whatever they demand for free. And the Taiwanese people have to pay for this silliness, to give away their hard earned money just for a silly pathetic show, when their president can go and be looked upon as a clown with money to be robbed. Every time the Taiwanese President visited these micro states, he walked around with a silly grin like a clown.

Taiwan is a glaring example of a silly place led by silly a leader that did not know what he is doing, except for a temporary moment of selfish glory, that he is the President, but with an axe hanging over his head. Any time he will end up behind bars or be executed by firing squad as a traitor of China and the Chinese people. The Taiwanese people better wake up fast before being dragged into a shithole by the silly DPP. When a leader picked to walk along a dead end path, the end is near. Kicking the can down the road can only extend the misery for another few years. The day of reckoning will come, sooner or later.

Countries need American bases to protect themselves from American terrorists

This is no more than the fox asking the farmer to allow it to guard the hen house. It is a silly joke undoubtedly but seriously is more a ploy by the USA to be sold to the 'dull of mind'. How much is to be paid for the escorting I just wonder. Trump saw the collection of tolls by Iran and is perhaps taking a leaf to make money doing the escorting, lol.

Actually, such a move is no different from the USA forcing countries to allow the USA to have military bases on their soil to protect them from the USA itself. Laughter is indeed the best medicine, now that the Gulf oil producers have seen the reality from the fantasy. Those USA bases not only did not protect them, but it was an invitation for Iran to target them when the war started. Now, what can thirteen USA military bases do? Probably evacuated with even the soldiers now needing protection from Iranian missiles.

Sometime, living too long under a fantasy will continue to be stuck in the mud, until the shit hits the fan. But it is not too late for the Gulf countries to see the woods for the trees. It is time to depend on a collective defense umbrella than rely on a fake sense of security provided by the USA. The best defense is still not to create trouble against close neighbors. Live and let live and allow differences to be sorted out diplomatically, not always brandishing the gun at everyone and using threats to win an argument.

Anglo-Saxon Whites have no shame asking the Blacks to go back to Africa, claiming that the USA belongs to them

The Anglo-Saxon Whites really have no shame asking the Blacks to go back to Africa, claiming that the USA belongs to them. They never look at themselves in the mirror when they stole North America from the Native American Indians. It is they who should return to Europe where they came from.

There was a moment in history when a White USA military leader had occasion to confront a Native American Indian chief and tried to threaten him by saying that the USA belongs to the Whites. The Indian leader shot back and asked him - did you pay to buy over the land? The White military leader had no answer, but as we know, all they had was always using the gun to win the argument.

We know from history that the Anglo-Saxon Whites had tried to colonize Africa by stealing Africa from the Blacks, but they fought back to reclaim their land by battling over centuries. It was a fight against White colonialism. China, Russia and North Korea had been helping them all along, despite being poor themselves. Now the Africans are still thankful for the help, although some dictators are still in the grip of the colonizers, having benefitted from the exploitation of the country's resources.

China is not spared the colonial aspirations of the Anglo-Saxon Whites and history is there to confirm the many attempts by the Whites and Japan to divide China up as they did in Africa. We have read about the opium war by the British trying to drug and weaken the Chinese so that it will be easier for them to take over and control. We have read about the Eight-Nation Alliance, comprising Germany, Japan, USA, Britain, France, Russia, Italy and Austria-Hungary, trying to overwhelm the Chinese Boxer Rebellion attempting to throw them out over foreign atrocities. It was another attempt to divide up China, like the division of Africa, to be ruled by the countries of the Alliance if they succeed. Had they succeeded, there will not be a China left today.

Singapore traded Loh Po Shen for funny talents

 Who is Loh Po Shen? He was a Singaporean. Not sure if he still is. Born and raised in Singapore by Singaporean parents, he is now a Math professor in the USA.  He is one of the best and teaching many young matheticians to be their best.

Below is a 23 min clip on Loh Po Shen and how he coached the USA team to beat China in the Math Olympiad after 20 years. Many such Singaporeans are now overseas and being replaced by funny talents from God knows where, and like Trump's MAGA, making Singapore great again.

Singaporean talents that have left are unlikely to return given the climate here and the priority given to foreign talents to replace no talent Singaporeans. Will this make Singapore great again or continue its slide downwards to the third world, with third world values, work ethics, mindsets and behaviours? Many people may not be noticing it, the third world mentality and favouring third world talents, praising third world talents, craving for third world talents, have already sank roots and becoming a norm in the elite circles. We need foreign talents, we need more foreign talents.

Would the third world foreign talents become more like Singaporeans or Singaporeans becoming more like third world migrants?

PS. The rot in the mindset did not happen overnight but after a long and slow process of incubation and association. A good example is Taiwan. The politicians of all the political parties are crawling to AIT to seek blessing and approval for everything from their American masters. And this has become second nature to the Taiwanese, must always ask for permission and approval from the Americans, the DPP will seek approval from the Japanese, without knowing that they are Chinese people, not a colony of the Americans or the Japanese.

India - May I come in? It's cold outside

 Modi made his choice, to distant India from Russia, to hug smelly Trump. Modi has his own priorities. The Americans were more anti China than Russia, worse, Putin is too close to Xi. The way to go forward is to sign up with the Americans. India has very serious historical baggage with China. The land that Britain stole from China and is India hugging closely to its chest, cannot be returned to China. No way, whatever things that landed up in India's hand, by India's own belief, legally or illegally, remains with India. With this mindset, India knows that China will forever be its enemy number one. China will want to take back its land one day. And that day must come, sooner or later. India will not give way and China cannot give way either. China's position is about national pride and dignity, that not an inch of its land would be snatched away from the Motherland by force. Indian mentality, whatever is in India's pocket belongs to India, no compromise, just like any foreign investments will eventually belong to India. This is the historical deadlock that would lead to war one day.

Modi knows this and is very comfortable to be on the side of the Americans, to depend on America as India's protector to keep its stolen goods. It went on well for a while and America too was very happy with India, carrying India up on a high pedestal. India was elated and grew in confidence. With mighty America behind its back, and thinking that strategically India is indispensable to the Americans, arrogance started to creep into the heads of Indian politicians. They can do anything they want. They have the Americans by the balls, and the Chinese too.

India is a superpower, the balancer, the king maker. India holds all the cards, calls the shot, China can be pushed around, America will just have to go along to please India. Jaishanker even took liberty to lecture the Americans and the Europeans about India's national interests that prevailed everything. India would decide and act on what was best for India. America and Europe just had to take it or leave it. India would act independently, free from pressure of the Americans, be friends with whoever it wants, buy oil, weapons from whoever it wants. India is sitting in the main table with the superpowers on its own terms. India will be a pillar in geopolitics, will not be bullied by any superpower.

 The Indian arrogance and audacity were just too much for the Americans. Trump the megalomaniac would not allow it. Who is India? The opportunity came when India embarrassed itself in Operation Sindoor. If India could be whipped by little Pakistan, how could India be a useful partner against China? Trump decided there and then to kick India into the wilderness. No more niceties for India. India is out in the cold. Trump slammed and insulted India over and over again, ignoring India, cold shouldering India and humiliating India without holding back anything. India tried feverishly by sending its articulate and clever Jaishanker and many military leaders to wait at the door in Washington for a meeting with Trump. If Trump did not care two hoots who is Modi, who is Jaishanker? Trump has no time for him, just like Trump had not time for Prabowo.

Henceforth, India is out in the cold, not invited to anything, just an outsider. India is in a dilemma. It cannot be closed to China for obvious historical and strategic reasons. Putin no longer trust Modi. BRICS does not want India. India once thought it was a key player in BRICS but received a rude awakening that it is a nobody in BRICS, seen more as a traitor, a dangerous member that is working for the Americans to undermine the interests of BRICS and its members. The 'I' in BRICS is taking a different shade, being replaced by Iran. China, Russia and Iran are the new power to be reckoned with under a new strategic and military alliance to reshape BRICS and the world,...without India.

Never has India been so alone, so left out. All its neighbours are now very closed with China. India used to dig at China for having no friends. Now India is really is a situation where it has no friends. Not its immediate neighbours. India even betrayed Russia and Iran by visiting Ukraine and Israel, the enemies of Russia and Iran. Of course no one in BRICS or SCO regard India as a friend, as a trusted and reliable partner. Even Japan is pissed with India after the high speed train debacle.

India is now muted, total silence. No one wants to talk to India, No one has time for India. Even Netanyahu has no time for India despite Modi's visit to curry his favour. No need to talk about Trump and his feelings for Modi.

May I come in? Anyone there? Please let me in, it is cold and lonely out here. Try little India... the only place that still have high regards for India and trusting India with unbelieveable fetish confidence, like under an Indian spell.

India is all sound and noise without substance. Modi and Jaishankar can talk all they want, thinking they are very clever. But words without real power behind them, they are nothing. Trump may be a scumbag, but he carries real weight even when he talked cock, because American power is behind him. With Trump taking the lead to ignore India, India has no cards to play and fully exposed...naked with nothing worthy to offer or respect... no money, no technology, nothing to offer to the world except noise and bragging and acting important. Only the daft in Little India will be mesmerised by Indian rope trick. Modi forgot that he can only be important if Trump or Putin allows him to be so. It is like the proverbial mouse roaring and thumping its chest while sitting on the head of a lion. Trump has thrown Modi under the bus. Period.

The decadent western system is beyond redemption

Never try to correct your enemy when it is making mistakes. The decadent western system is beyond redemption, so let it be. China has no necessity to try to convert them to its communist ideology with democratic characteristics or whatever, as China has already moved forward from the democracy versus communism hubris. And showing the world who is better.

Strangely enough, even foreigners living in China and interacting with the Chinese people themselves are saying that the Chinese populace does not want the kind of democracy existing in the USA. That speaks volumes about how the Chinese view the democratic system of the USA. Honestly, with that in mind, do we honestly think a regime change is feasible inside China or just a figment of imagination of some delusional mind. I do not think they will even want to give regime change in China a try again after failing so many times before. Oh, they did try that in Hong Kong and Xinjiang recently anyway.

The West will never admit that China's communist system with democratic characteristics works better. What is the point of having elections to choose leaders every four years, when they are doing nothing to improve lives and just caring for the top 1% and helping them to corner all the wealth of the country. Calling an oligarchy as a democracy is the biggest lie and pulling wool over those 'dull of mind'. They are so happy with their vote, when they realistically could do nothing better with it. But the brainwashing has been so successful that changing it is a lost cause.

The MIC and generals are in cahoot for very expensive wars. Just throw everything away and reorder for more...meaning more money to line their pockets

Juvenile Trump is still trying to sell his snake oil, boasting that USA will bomb Iran again if it misbehaves. Why continue to make the same threat, pulling back with extensions, making more threats and doing nothing to back up his ultimatums? Is it because of the shortage of bombs now and trying to make up using the little time afforded? How fast can the military industrial complex replenish those bombs already expended? It took years for the USA to stock them up, and it took a couple of days for the stockpile to be depleted. The USA will never admit it, but others know how the system works.

Iran does not have to misbehave in any way. Iran did not misbehave in the first place by starting the war. It is the USA and Israel that misbehaved and the world can see that clearly. Iran just has to keep the tension in the Middle East from dying out or boiling over, and the USA, Gulf countries and the rest of the world will start crying for help in another month or two. How long can the USA continue to hold the Strait of Hormuz hostage. Six months or a year?

Perhaps Trump thinks that like Afghanistan, twenty years is not too long to follow. He only has a little more than two years to gloat by November, if he can last that long. Trump can continue with his fake assassination make belief to prop up his support from his MAGA base. But crying wolf too many times with false flag assassinations may end up being real eventually when the wolf really attacks.

24 min of what a 18 year old girl was doing at the highest level of computer engineering in the most prestigious institutions and among the brightest brains. I have practically no knowledge of quantum physics and could barely understand anything she was saying and completely blown away by the formula she wrote on the white board. Watching this clip is a humbling experience and a better understanding of what is talent. Our talent scouts are hunting at the wrong places for funny talents.

Many 18 year old are likely to be doing their first undergraduate study in college, some kicking footballs, some trying to make the best char kway teow, fried rice or prawn noodle after graduating with a degree or diploma.

Ewin Tang, at 18, was standing in front of professors and scientists, the best in their fields, explaining and defending her theory and how her paper debunked an existing authoritative quantum theory and made its logic obsolete. Her paper explained how a normal computer can also perform the task like a quantum computer and more.

Not everyone is made equal. People may be blessed with different talents. Ewin Tang is gifted with a talent of another world that humbles even professors.

China selling quality goods and services for the price of dirt

 The scam of branded goods has been completely destroyed by China and people are now smarter, saving a lot of money from not buying branded goods at ransom prices. The people of the world can now afford to buy and use all the good products and services they so desired at a fraction of the prices they used to pay to western brands. China will make the same products, with the same material and selling to the consumers for a song. And if the customers want a brand stitched on, China can also do it with an additional $10. After all, all the branded products are made in China by skilled Chinese artisans, cheaper but not cheap labour. The prices charged by the brand owners were mostly the jacked up prices for obscene profits. 

China has now moved one step ahead, since labour cost is rising, China is moving into robotics. The whole production line can be manned by cheaper robots that worked 24/7 with no extra pay, no time off for lunch break or sick leave, no labour union problems. Just pure productivity and efficiency. China can go on innovating and producing goods and services at very affordable prices. Can you imagine how much a good Chinese EV will be in the market if left to the American and western brands? What Tesla is charging is a good example of the value for money versus Chinese EVs. Soon Tesla too will be priced out of the market, unable to compete in quality, design, technology and price.

China did not capitalise on the quality of its products and services by charging high prices like the Americans and the West. China prices its goods and services for the masses in the whole world. The average consumer in the world is now faced with ample choices of good products and services at very affordable prices which they could not afford if made in the West. 

China is selling its products and services to the whole world and did not demand to be paid in dollars and high prices. China is literally asking countries to pay with dirt. Just give China dirt in exchange for quality high tech products and services. And if countries did not have the capacity and technology to deliver the dirt, China will bring in the equipment to transport the dirt and ship them to China, without overcharging. No money never mind, just dirt will do.

For countries that are able and want to add value to their dirt, China can assist by selling them the technology and equipment as well. China is in a way helping the rest of the world to be richer by making things affordable, give them real value for paying less.

Can you imagine what the world of the average and less developed people be like without the abundance of good quality goods and services from China, clothes costing a few dollars a piece, mobile phones at less than a hundred bucks, EVs for less than US$10k, and efficient infrastructure, highways, high speed trains, ports etc etc to be had by trading their dirt? Many countries are limited by their size, small population, educational and technology level, infrastructure... to make high tech stuffs they need. And China is there to offer them whatever they need, for the price of a song, or some dirt...with no strings attached. The Americans wanted to sell AI only to those with deep pockets. China is offering AI to the man on the street. The average guy have all the AIs they need for free. The Americans cannot stop China from pushing out AI applications for the world cheaply.

Some silly countries still want to buy American and western goods and willing to pay ripoff prices for lower quality goods. It is ok if they have a lot of easy money.

India only has one plan...takeover. India is out to take everything, companies, industries, countries, and there are silly people inviting India to takeover everything

India is in big trouble going forward. India has many issues to take care of besides trying to stay as the sixth biggest economy in the world.

The most difficult problem for India right now is creating jobs for 12 million new university graduates coming onstream into the job market every year, without the corresponding mass job creation afforded by manufacturing. India is still largely an agrarian society, with more than 40% of its population still engaged in agriculture cum husbandry activities. The rise of AI and the Middle East war have added further pressure on India. Much of India's service industry that had been catering to Western companies using Indian workers for back-office jobs, have now been replaced by AI. The Iran War has also added another layer of problem for India, with Indian workers returning home to compete with new Indian graduates for jobs. These returning workers are educated and experienced, fighting for the tight job opportunities available. Therein lies the massive problem for India.

Of course, India can do what China did, albeit in 30 to 50 years' time optimistically speaking, but foreign direct investments have dried up from USA and the West. The USA, under Trump has classified India as a shithole, so think about that. The Europeans are no rich uncles themselves, already devastated by the Ukraine War and energy problems. Now, Europe is fighting a tariff war against the USA, so forget about European investing big in India.

The only source of investments for India is China. Chinese investments worldwide had been reported to be around US$130 billion annually, but in the face of the problems between India and China, it is unlikely to attract Chinese FDI into India. After all, the Chinese Government has warned Chinese companies to stay away from India. India wanted to please the USA by biting the hand that could help it with good investments, but India bit the hand of the Chinese over and over again.

Another big problem for India going big into manufacturing is the lack of infrastructures. There is no high-speed rail or even up-to-date rail network, roads are just pot-hole tracks, movement of raw materials and finished goods takes ages, and the supply chain for manufacturing is still largely outside the country. Moreover, the whole country is still highly corrupted, from the top Government leaders to the foot soldiers carrying out the duty of administrating policies. It is always the outstretch hand for bribes in order for things to be allowed to be done.

As I said before, all that hype about India's big expanding population as a dividend to be reaped is all hubris. It is more a massive liability for India to have a bursting young population without jobs. An expanding population is a boom for advanced countries like Japan and some European states, but not in a country as poor as India, whatever the showboating about a young population is trying to sell.

China building more pipelines overland

Russia now has oil pipelines to move oil to China, and this is no longer a problem for both countries trying to evade choke points nor sanctions.

If a push comes to a shove, China and Iran too, may find it feasible to have similar pipelines to facilitate the movement of Iranian oil to China. There was already a proposal to build a pipeline from Gwadar Port in Pakistan to Kashgar, China, for Middle East oil, to avoid the Straits of Malacca, but which due to geological constraints, has been mothballed. Those constraints involve building the pipeline across mountainous terrain thousands of meters high. But China is fully capable of building at such heights, such as its high-speed rail construction in freezing conditions and low oxygen environment.

When situations become untenable due to the Middle East war prolonging and for future proofing, killing two birds with one stone may take place, which means constructing the Iran link to connect to the resurrected Gwadar Port line running towards Kashgar, China. This is just my thinking, and I am sure the Chinese are also looking forward as well to such a possibility.

China is dominating in every sectors, including scientific paper. India can print fake degrees but not fake scientific papers

Weaponization of the US$ provided a means for the USA to punish other countries for a period of time, but the effect is waning as countries found ways to get around those sanctions. Needless to say, no country had ever collapse due to USA sanctions, and sanctioned countries are learning from the experience of those who would not fall. Hyping gloom and doom as a consequence of those sanctions is no more a fear factor to threaten countries today.

De-dollarization must be seen as a godsend as countries can now trade outside the US$ and avoid the sanctions, even as they are asking - who is next. The Iran War is going to see de-dollarization up a notch with Russia and Iran now selling oil in Yuan. This move by Russia and Iran is no small potato, as both are major oil producers. Other Gulf oil producers will in time have to consider accepting Yuan, (if they have not done so already), as a currency for settlement when selling oil to China, the biggest market by far.

I have been watching videos of the changing landscape around the world regarding who is dominating in which sector. There are indeed somewhat of a surprise for me that China has grown to dominate in so many sectors of the global landscape which is fermenting a natural worrying reaction by the USA. China's domination in churning out scientific papers in chemistry, physics, mathematics, engineering and construction, which were the monopoly of the USA before, is now turned on its head. China has dominated the registration of patents (which is about new inventions) and is the top dog in this sector. China has stamped its domination in EVs, drones, shipbuilding and renewable energy harvesting, leaving the rest of the world fighting for runners-up position.

Operation Kill Iranians - 65 days and still counting

 65 days into the killing of Iranians, and simultaneously killing Arabs and Muslims in Gaza, Palestine and Lebanon. No reporting by western media to many means the killing has stopped. That is the attention span of the braindead and unthinking. And there is a temporary ceasefire! Anyone knows what is the meaning of a ceasefire? Let me explain simply what this means. It is just a break for the killers to prepare for the next killing, a bigger killing with more weapons and firepower. Trump is ordering whatever troops, warplanes and warships he can ordered to the region for his next big game, to wipe out the Iranians as a civilisation. Just musing, is this a joke or another deadly case of stupidity cannot be cured? Are the Iranians preparing for their final termination by the American terrorists, still trusting the American and Israeli terrorists that they would be spared, to allow to exist as a people on this planet?

Pete Hegseth was telling his version of the truth in the Senate hearing. He was asked why are the American terrorists still killing Iranians when he claimed to have obliterated the Iranians nuclear facilities. Was not this objective achieved, to prevent Iran from having nuclear weapons? His reply for continuing to want to kill the Iranians...the Iranians still have the ambition to want to have nuclear weapons, so must be killed to end their ambition. This is now the next reason to kill Iranians, not nuclear facilities, but Iranian ambition to have nuclear weapons. How did he know? He cooked it up. 

Before this Operation Kill Iranians, the Ayatollah, the highest authority in Iran, the spiritual leader, had forbade Iran from having nuclear weapons on religious ground. This is more powerful than any political undertaking. But lunatic Trump chose to disbelieve in this, and hellbent on killing Iranians by claiming that Iran is closed to having nuclear bomb, which the world knows is a big vicious American lie. Trump would not admit that he was taking orders from the Jews to kill Iranians.

There is a temporary pause now, a ceasefire, while Trump continue to amass his weapons, war machines and troops for the KILL, while pretending to be negotiating with the Iranians. Once beaten twice shy. Cheated twice and still wanting to believe the evil Americans and waiting to be cheated a third time is simply unbelieveable. How stupid can the Iranians be? Or how stupid the American terrorists think the Iranians are, to wait to be cheated for the third time? This third time is going to seal the fate of the Iranians, to fulfill Trump and Netanyahu's objective to wipe out the Iranians. Both have not change their positions. Pete Hegseth had said it out as clear as he could in the Senate. The ultimate goal is to kill all the Iranians by whatever excuses.

65 days have gone by without the American terrorists showing any sign of retreating. Their plans to continue to deceive the Iranians that peace is around the corner and planning for the Final Solution should the Iranians make a mistake. That is all that is needed to wipe out the Iranians. Just one mistake to finish them off for good, for the good of Israel and the American terrorists. And the Middle East will be at peace under the Order of Israel and American terrorist rule!

This day is approaching fast, with little resistance from the Arabs and Muslims, with some siding with the Americans quietly, some already in bed with the American terrorists and so happy about it. How many days would it take to wipe out the Iranian civilisation?

Trump's favourite game is called TACO

Trump did impose ban on Canadian oil earlier, but now chicken out as usual and in fact demanded that Canada sells more crude to USA. He thought Canada had no cards to play, but Mark Carney holds the trump card with his diversification of crude exports to other countries including China.

Trump's Art of the Deal is all based on empty threats and when countries fight back with alternatives, he caves like a house of cards. Trump does not know that the cards he holds are now basically all printed by others and they know what kind of card he holds and what sort of player he is. Those that he can bully, he will swallow them whole, flesh, bones and hair, like Japan and South Korea. Now the Europeans have also seen through his Art of the Deal and are retaliating. Trump's latest threat of a 25% tariff on European cars instead of the 15% is going to start another tariff war that will push the Europeans towards Asia, just like Canada. Trump will TACO as usual. Just watch. But sometimes, TACO is too late.

As I said before, this is no longer the era of the twentieth century where countries have no alternatives but to succumb to USA threats, having to rely largely on the USA market. That is no longer the case. When one door closes another open for them.

American devils - want peace must have war, want Hormuz to open, must close it, want.....

When you have friends like the Jews and USA, there is no need for enemies. You can say that again because, according to Henry Kissinger, being friends of the USA is basically courting death worse than its enemies.

Pete Hegseth is now saying that Trump needs to close the Strait of Hormuz in order to open it again. This is also identical to the saying of, I believe, another USA leader who said that in order to have peace, we need war. Where do these sub-humans come from, I just wonder.

Oh, I almost forgot the other great military genius who probably thought he had to tear up the nuclear deal made with Iran by someone else early, in order to get another nuclear deal under his name.

When fossil fuel runs out

Many people are now talking about the falling importance of fossil fuel in the age of renewables that is to come. How long it is going to last regarding the global dependence on fossil fuel is anybody's guess. Even Middle East oil producers have more or less seen the woods from the trees now.

UAE did not build Dubai as a tourist destination, in an almost desert environment, on the spur of the moment. It was a safety measure, possibly the only alternative available, knowing that the inevitable will happen when oil runs out. Oil is not a finite gift to the Arabs but is exhaustible. Then what?

Saudi Arabia is building its most prestigious NEOM mega project to transform its economy that had been dependent on oil. If oil is unlimited, the Saudis do not have to diversify. More than that, the Saudis are building a nuclear power plant in anticipation of demand for energy. Imagine a country said to be floating on oil having to build nuclear power plants for energy. But I believe the Saudis also saw the woods from the trees and are not putting all its eggs in one basket.

China will be the one country that will show the world that it is possible to live without relying totally on fossil fuel. Chinese renewable energy harvesting is still at its initiation stage and big projects in dam building, nuclear power station building, solar panel fields and wind power projects expansion carried out onshore, offshore and in desert areas are ongoing. China's demand for energy is almost insatiable for its factories. But China has already cut down its transportation system relying on fossil fuel to migrate totally to electrification. You can be sure that what China embarks on is no half-hearted measures taking decades to fulfil.

Having said that, which country is going to be at the forefront when global demand for renewable energy equipment goes ballistic? China will be there and China has the capacity to do that on scale that no one else can match. That is what overcapacity is for.

Terrorist Trump wants to protect ships from American pirates...What a silly joke from this lunatic!

WASHINGTON: President Donald Trump said on Sunday (May 3) that the United States was conducting "very positive discussions" with Iran, as he outlined a plan for US forces to escort ships through the blocked Strait of Hormuz beginning Monday.

He said the new maritime operation, which he dubbed "Project Freedom," was a "humanitarian" gesture for crews aboard the many ships swept up in the blockade and which may be running low on food and other crucial supplies.

"We will use best efforts to get their Ships and Crews safely out of the Strait. In all cases, they said they will not be returning until the area becomes safe for navigation," Trump said in a lengthy post on his Truth Social platform. ...

Trump said "countries from all over the world" had requested American aid in navigating through the key waterway and out of the Gulf.

"For the good of Iran, the Middle East, and the United States, we have told these Countries that we will guide their Ships safely out of these restricted Waterways, so that they can freely and ably get on with their business," Trump said. CNA

Can anyone believe what this lunatic Trump just said above?  Why is there a need to escort and protect ships coming out from the Persian Gulf? Who is stopping the ships from coming out by blockading the Strait?  This is standard American sophistry, create a strawman as the threat and offer to protect against the threat from the strawman.

But not to worry, many gullible will come out in praise of lunatic Trump for such a brilliant idea. And they will thank Trump for bringing them out safely from the Persian Gulf, protected from being attacked by American pirates. Caveat, how much will American terrorists be charging for this great humanitarian service?

Iranians beware, American ships cannot get close to the Strait of Hormuz or inside the Persian Gulf even with the temporary truce. Would the Iranians be duped into letting the American terrorists and pirates to sail into the Persian Gulf on this silly excuse, to get near to Kharge Island or Iranians ports? For the moment, no American warship or warplanes and troops can get near to Iran to invade Iran...and Iran is safe....

'In a post on X, US Central Command said starting Monday, its forces would begin supporting Project Freedom with guided-missile destroyers, over 100 land and sea-based aircraft, multi-domain unmanned platforms and 15,000 service members.' CNA  This is the real vicious lie, to bring in American warships and warplanes, and 15,000 troops for the invasion of Iran, right outside the door of Iran, with permission from Iran to attack Iran and Kill Iranians.

Dunno want to laugh or cry if Iranians allowed this to happen to them, to be wiped out as a civilisation by the American terrorists? The massing of troops and war machines are increasing daily, non stop for this to mission. Surely the Iranians are not that stupid. Maybe I am wrong. Trump is so smart to hookwink the Iranians to let him wipe them out from the face of the earth.

I cannot believe I am hearing this.

Dear Leader Trump's photos, statues and images to be erected all over America

 Trump is the greatest admirer of Kim Jung Ung and is learning everything trick to govern America and to make himself a pop dictator. And Trump is going to do more, to outshine his good friend Kim by making his presence felt to all Americans, even in their rooms. Do not be surprised that every American office building must have a picture of Trump, and this may extend to the homes. In every town square or park, a statue of Trump will be erected to remind the Americans of their Dear Leader Trump.

Trump is also going to be in the pockets of every American if he can print new notes with his photos in it, with his photos in passports and official documents. Long live Emperor Trump of the American Empire. By the way, Trump has sold one of his infamous Gold Card with his face on it. Just one. And who is the likely buyer? Lai Ching Te from Taiwan, or Marcos from the Philippines, or someone from Indonesia? Let's wait for Trump to announce his name and invite him for tea in the White House.

Kim has a special product that Trump will need badly. The North Koreans are the best in making giant statues of political leaders, 100 feet tall, 100 metre tall. Trump will love these big dolls of himself. Kim will offer him special discounts when Trump make his orders with special delivery. Each statue ordered will come with a free gift of a cute little girl statue to make Trump salivate.

And North Korea is also very good in missiles and long range rockets. The ancient Minuteman arsenal is about time to scrap. And North Korean missiles are first class and much cheaper than those produced in America. The jewel will be rockets to the moon. The American rockets for Artemis mission are failing too often. Kim can help Trump on this with his world best rockets to take American astronauts to the moon, not to Arizona desert.

Maybe Kim should make a first sales move by presenting Trump with a pair of gold statues of himself and Trump dancing, to be placed in Trump's Golden Ballroom. Emperor Trump will surely love it. It is looking like Trump is planning to stay in the White House forever or at least for as long as he lives. 

Long live Dear Leader Trump. Long live Emperor Trump.

PS. Trump will have his face on toilet papers soon, when American dollars become toilet papers.

White men - once a thief always a thief

We all still are blindly believing that the USA or the Anglo-Saxon Whites never stole anything. Once a thief, always a thief, no matter how big a propaganda machine they can set up to whitewash their crimes. As Putin said, whatever the USA accused others of doing, it has done it itself.

The Anglo-Saxon Whites became what it is today by stealing whole continents from Natives of North American. They also did the same thing in in Australia, Hawaii, Diego Garcia and the Pacific Islands. All that cannot be denied. The Anglo-Saxon Whites belong to Europe, not anywhere else. If they are anywhere else, it is all stolen land that they now occupy.

Today, that thievery is still ongoing. The stealing of the oil in Iraq, the third biggest oil producer, using fabricated weapons of mass destruction as an excuse. Just a year ago, the USA stole the oil in Venezuela and even proudly proclaimed that oil belongs to them because USA big oil had been given the permission to extract oil in Venezuela decades earlier. Being given the rights does not mean the oil reserves belong to them as what Trump is trying to argue. In that case, all the oil in the Middle East will also belong to the USA eventually, as USA big oil are being given the rights to be involved in the extraction.

Now, the USA is trying to steal the oil in Iran with a fabricated war about enriched Uranium as a pretext, the same kind of excuse given regarding drug smuggling by Venezuela.

China's AI war with the Americans is like selling Rolls Royce versus selling BYD, for the royalties versus for the masses

Now that the Chinese are advancing in chips technology after all the sanctions by the USA, the USA knows pursuing this agenda comes cannot defeat China over AI. So, the next attack has to be over something else, like AI theft in order for the tech war to be relevant.

China is not fighting the AI war over using the best high-end chips. China is building AI using a different architecture that relies less on chip power but on maximizing quantity over quality. China can make all the mid-range and legacy chips. Not that Chinese companies like Huawei and SMIC are incapable of advancing their chip technology despite the sanctions. It is only a question of time.

Even Jensen Huang said that the future of AI is not constrained by high-end chips, but on one thing that China has over the USA - cheap energy. This is one fundamental issue that the USA is finding it difficult to overcome, even when building all the massive data centers. The USA may have oil in abundance, but without the power generation logistics, it is the proverbial 'Sword of Damocles' hanging over the heads of data centers and AI centers.

But let us wait and see how the fantasy can overcome the reality in the technology war. The waiting may not be long you can be sure. Putting the cart before the horse does not augurs well, no matter how well intended the idea.

Trump is the most like President by the sycophants and cronies...and ass kissers

Delusional Trump said that nobody likes Jerome Powell, the outgoing Fed chief. I had a good laugh at the obscenity of his mind. I would even say that he should look at himself in the mirror before opening his dirty lying mouth. His approval rating is in the sewers. Globally, nobody actually likes him. Only those that succumbed to his threats pretend they like him enough to kiss his ass or to hug him. And that goes for the sycophants and cronies.

Trump does not understand the difference between reality and fantasy. He lives in an alternate world, surrounded by alternate beings of the same kind. These are the sycophants and cronies that love mad dogs just like Trump, sleep with mad dogs and wake up having fleas. A loss is twisted into a victory. A failure, like his million-dollar golden visa, is touted as a winning idea. Now he wants to put his stupid face on some USA currency notes that will turn in real toilet papers. Oh, not to forget building Trump class warships too. Trump also wants his name included to tarnish the image of legendary icons like the Kennedy Centre. He wants to leave his name building the Trump Ballroom at the White House after demolishing the Rose Garden. This is a man so besotted with his ego that he destroys everything he touches. Can I say that he will in the one that is putting the last nail in the coffin of the USA hegemony soon.

Decadent and corrupt western systems versus socialist systems

 The sickness of western models and systems have been degraded and corrupted over the centuries and exposing their decadent and ugliness today when there is no more free wealth to distribute around. During the days of empires and colonialism, it was a time of plenty, and they lived very well, exploiting the wealth of their colonies and the world and was able to look pretty and good.

When the free wealth is slipping away, the rots are showing, and the average people just cannot keep up with the high cost of living and a system that favours the rich and powerful with no compassion for the downtrodden. Make it or be left behind. The societies are run and measured by money and wealth. With wealth and power, life is beautiful and worthy of living. Without them, life is miserable and unworthy of living. 

The noble profession of medicine has been commercialised and monetised to the point that only the rich can have the best treatment and medicare. In America, without medical insurance, human lives were not much different from stray dogs and cats. The rich can have the best medical care, based on ability to pay.

Housing, a basic needs, is not the responsibility of the govt. This problem is compounded by inflation, high cost of living and a way of life that preferred to rent than buy. This rental society is a deadly trap. Other than the rich, the income of the average Joe will diminish or come to an end with the passing of time. On the other hand, housing will only cost more with inflation. The average guy without a home, will be facing incremental and exorbitant rental fees at the last phase of his life when he has little income or no income. Homelessness is a guarantee for the average Joe that lives from paycheck to paycheck and with no savings.

The pretentious justice system, when justice is meant to be fair, is no longer true. Justice or fairness can be bought. To win a court battle is not dependent on truth and facts, but on the craftiness of the legal counsel to twist the facts and arguments to one's favour. A criminal or wrongdoer can walk out free if he can pay for a good counsel. The victim, the wronged party, cannot afford to pay for his rights and justice will see injustice staring down at him.

In America, not only counsels can be bought, judges too can be bought, when the President can appoint judges that are friendly to him. Have money and power and there is no fear of the law, can even use the law to bully and threaten enemies. Trump has committed all kinds of crimes, mass murder and genocide etc, but is still strutting around and committing more evil crimes around the world and likely not be brought to face justice in court. 

In international courts like the ICC, the organisation is nothing different from a kangaroo court run by self appointed bandits when power and politics determined right or wrong. This is how shameful the ICC has become, a tool to political power and state terrorism. 

Compare these to the socialist systems in China when the interests of the average guy, the well being of the population is the key mission of the govt. The key priorities of the Chinese system is to provide the basic needs adequately to all its citizens. Housing, medical care, cost of living, transportation, education, food and clothing, are carefully managed to be within the reach of the average people. The govt is always there to mitigate and moderate the cost of living of the people, to redistribute wealth to reach the wider population. Eradication of poverty and illiteracy, feeding the people, affordable medical care without paying an arm or a leg, no need to pay for hefty insurance premium, are all in place when extreme poverty and deprivation no longer exist. The Chinese people, having gone through centuries of hunger and deprivation, are now the best fed, best clothed, best housed and with the best and affordable medicare system, and are the happiest people in the world today.

The Chinese people can aim for the stars, to be the best they can, even if they came from very average families. The barriers of wealth and power in the western system have been mitigated and removed to allow more freedom and mobility to upgrade and move up the social ladder to a better life. This is a new model of govt and society, with a balance of govt intervention and free enterprise working together to improve the lots of the population, a balance that is continuingly being adjusted, an unending process of trial and error, with one prime objective, the well being of the whole population and society.

The Communist Utopia may be an idealistic goal, difficult or impossible to achieve, but getting closer to this goal is always an improvement process for a more just and fairer society for the greater good of greater people, not for the better good of a few. The Chinese system is working and getting better. The western system is failing and rotting, albeit, still very good for the rich and powerful.

Good News - America is a joke and Trump is the King of Jokers

Can you realistically swallow the propaganda trotted out by the USA that Iran has told them it is collapsing? Telling your enemy that you are collapsing must be the mother of all confessions.

And only Iran now wants the USA to open the Strait of Hormuz, while other Gulf countries are not at all being affected? Sometimes, I have to say that Trump and the USA are shamelessly providing alternate truths, living in an alternate universe, hoping that the world will swallow its propaganda - lock, stock and barrel. It is getting stale.

Which countries are really taking the biggest hit from the blockade by the USA? Apart from countries affected outside the Gulf, like Japan, South Korea, India, the Europeans and South-East Asian countries, it is Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE and Oman together with Iran that are the biggest losers. Are the Gulf countries having a great time living with the blockade and only Iran is suffering?

How long had Iran been sanctioned by the USA and its cronies? Iran was the most sanctioned country in the world, until 2022 when Russia took over. Since 1979, Iran had been under global sanction. That is more than 47 years ago. Did Iran collapse? So, now the USA is saying that after a 60-day war, Iran is now collapsing. So simple? As simple as saying that China is collapsing since the year 2,000.

India's miracle GDP fell from 4th to 6th in the same year

India went really fast like a hypersonic missile to rank fourth in the GDP global rankings in 2025, but suddenly fell to sixth the same year, like a hot air balloon running a leak. How is that realistically possible? Suddenly the cows are eating less and shitting less providing too little cow dung contributing to India's GDP? True, cow dung is a contributor to India's GDP, no joke. Mr. Hunzi could probably enlighten us, being a worshipper of Goddess Palki Sharma, the mouthpiece of Modi, no pun intended, lol.

Being fourth in Global GDP rankings means having overtaken Japan, but the reality is so glaring when comparing the living standard and conditions in India and Japan. Any sensible human bean could tell the difference, even those 'dull of mind' and little in age.

India is gloating about its projected high GDP growth of 6.5%, well above China's 4.5% and the Indians are making a song and dance about it. Peel away the false fabric on the surface and many people have commented that India's growth is all centered on the connected Modi cronies like Adani Group and its stilted manufacturing sector, while the growth in the agricultural sector, the 40% contributor to India's GDP is still in the doldrums. Comparisons have been made in reports, and they are saying that the bottom feeders in India have living standards below those of sub-Saharan communities. That says a lot about India's boasts of being fourth or even the sixth largest economy in the world.

Trump is at his best destructive self...watch out for the same despicable leaders sticking to this scum

 Only a lunatic like Trump will dare to do what he is doing and thinks he can lie to the world that he is beyond condemnation. Trump is only good to the brain dead and despicable people that cannot see right from wrong, cannot see that killing Iranians, Arabs and Muslims, crippling the world economies by his gangster way of blockading the Strait of Hormuz, are evil and destroying the lives of innocent people around the world.

Trump arrogantly, with his little brain, is taunting the world that America is evil, a rogue state, a terrorist state and not pretending to be otherwise. What can the world do about it? Trump is a terrorist, defying all international laws, principles and morality, and is taking America and the American terrorists along with him. Any decent man cannot fail to see the evilness of America and the American terrorists, and also the Israeli terrorists. Wanton killing, crimes against humanity, bombing and destruction, cannot be tolerated, cannot be the rules for a peaceful and civilised world. The evilness of the American Empire are fully exposed and telling the world that the world has no choice but to live with the evilness of American terrorists.

Trump is not sparing the silly allies and crony states. In his deranged state of mind, he will whack anyone, friend or foe with no mercy. The Europeans have stood up to distant themselves from the American terrorists. The white men are still smarter than the coloured people and did not want to be bullied and threatened by scum Trump, they did not want to be seen with him, or be like him. The coloured people states still cannot clear the shit in their heads and still want to be kicked around by the evil Americans.

Actually many coloured people have awakened to the terrorism of the American terrorists and lunatic Trump. But the masses are just the masses, without a voice, and are led or misled by dull leaders that are just like lunatic Trump, devoid of morality, lost their moral compass, and will want to hug this smelly piece of shit, kiss his ass, want to be in his company. The people of the world must watch out for such despicable and spineless leaders. If their leaders are like lunatic Trump, idolise Trump, would stick with Trump like leeches, they are as smelly and despicable as Trump. Trash will be happy to be seen with trash, they are the same, smell the same. Houseflies like trash.

Canada's Carney is about the only decent leader that would not want to stick around with trash and smelly Trump. The rest of the European leaders may want to be like him but afraid to act like Carney. Forget about the leaders of coloured people, especially those that are craving to go to the White House, to want to sleep with Trump. These are evil people that will not mind hugging and sleeping with the devil. 

Trump has done well for exposing these despicable leaders to the world and to their people. Trump is telling the whole world he is the devil incarnate and those around him are little devils. This is Trump's greatest contribution to the world, for exposing the hypocrites, devils and demons and scums.

Not all American ally and crony leaders are like sissy Trudeau. Not all will be blackmailed by the Americans

Trump tried to bully Canada and what he did is backfiring badly on the USA. He passed an executive order to keep out Canadian crude and Canadian Prime Minister, Mark Carney, took up the challenge gleefully by selling his oil to Japan, South Korea, India and the European Union. China, by the way, is now the biggest oil market for Canada, so keep those executive orders coming Donnie.

In fact, Mark Carney was expecting this from Trump and had already done his homework earlier by signing contracts with those countries during his oversea visits. The most significant blessing in disguise was that Canada now sells oil at market prices when in the past it was selling them at a steep discount of around US$20 to US$25 a barrel to the USA. I must say this is a perfect case of Trump cutting his nose to spite his face. That Trump executive order is now a massive windfall for Canada, with multiple choices to sell its oil. Canada is now building pipelines East and West to export its oil, besides building refineries to process its own oil. Think about that.

Having said that, many USA oil refineries are now crippled from lack of Canadian heavy crude, and some are sitting idle without the feed. Pump prices in the USA are rising. Goods delivery costs are rising. Supermarket products are becoming more expensive. This has been compounded by the layoffs from big techs and things are not looking good for Trump in November, if he survives that long.

American hegemony based on dollar and military might are crashing by their own stupidity

The only way to counter the USA is not through military conflict, a situation the USA had been preparing for under decades of military spending, which means no country can ever pull off even if they tried. Russia and China already did their calculations and created BRICS to de-dollarize global trade, or at least make the US$ less in demand, which will weaken the ability of the USA, in time to come.

In any case, the signs are already emerging that the world is not going to continue to buy USA treasuries and provide foreign investments to fund the USA's terrorism adventures. Who is next must be the fundamental question now in their minds.

Most likely, the USA will self-destruct with its unsustainable US$39 trillion debts on top of the hundreds of trillions of derivatives swimming in the books of the too big to fail banks, hedge funds and pension funds. It only needs an ignition point to send the whole house of cards tumbling down.

Today is 'May Day' , 1st May, An Important International Workes' Day honoring labour movements and workers' rights worldwide.

 May Day is an important International Workers' Day honoring labour movements and workers' rights worldwide. But worldwide with workers' rights supplanted by ignoble and fascist governments run by criminals, charlatans and riff raffs of society with personal selfish ends and self aggrandizements how can workers can have a proper and rightful place in society. This type of grave scenario  can be seen in the United States,  England  and many countries of the South in Africa , Central America and South America which are still living under former white men's hybrid economic exploitation.

In the case of the United States the supposed richest country in the world, millions of workers especially the non-white workers are grossly underpaid with meager salaries which they can hardly survive in every day life and in which millions are living from pay check to pay check every month and where more than thirty to fifty millions of their families have no sheltered homes but have to live in pavements, sidewalks or under bridges and overpass in pitched up cardboard or canvas tents. This pathetic sight can be seen in all U.S. major cities like New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston, Houston, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle and many more.

This pathetic scenario is happening in the United States because the US government has always been run by evil sadistic class of selfish self aggrandized elitist criminals, charlatans and riff rafts, many of which are satanic Zionist Jews. Their government rules under the Darwinism governance which claims no responsibility for the people's welfare and livelihood while at the same time exploit the people and the country to the fullest for their own selfish ends. To the evil elitist extreme capitalist  government whether the people live or die is their own business and the government has nothing to do with it. Compare this with the Communist and Socialist government of China which vows to undertake the responsibility for the livelihood and welfare of the downtrodden in society. Thus in China workers are reasonably well paid and there are no beggars and no homeless people. 

Many people in the countries of the South are experiencing the pathetic state of the downtrodden deprived American workers because they are still living under the extreme hybrid economic exploitation of their ex-colonial masters. Their government ministers, president and officials work in cahoot with their ex-colonial masters to exploit and rob the people and country of their wealth and resources. In cahoot with local government ministers and officials the white ex- colonialists still can take out all the mineral and agriculture resources practically for free while the local president, ministers and senior government officials live in splendour and outrageous ostentatious wealth.

Thus on this May Day all the deprived workers of the South and America must unite and proclaim in one voice to overthrow of all evil exploitative governments. The American workers must rise up to demand the complete overhaul of American politics and their system of exploitative government which only favour the rich and elitist. They must demand that the toxic autocratic and exploitative selfish and self aggrandized parties of the Republicans and the Democrats be dismantled and replace by more people centered and more workers centered organisations in order to have a fairer and more equity government that caters to the welfare and livelihood of the people. New laws must be promulgated to prevent and outlaw the criminals, the fraudsters, cheaters, sex maniacs and people with lack of moral and ethical standards and values from taking part in politics and government.

Similarly workers of the countries of the South in Africa and South and Central America must unite to get rid of ex-colonial influence and their local conspirators of corrupted ministers and officials who collaborated with former white colonial governments to enrich themselves. They must carry out revolutions to expel all foreign white colonial influence and set up new honest socialist governments which genuinely look after the welfare of the people and country.

So on this May Day of  1st of May, workers of the world must proclaim loud and clear their unity and determination to get rid of dictatorial and exploitative elitist government and  all governments must have socialist agendas to uplift the welfare and livelihood of the people and the downtrodden at large. And if possible all governments must send workers representatives to China to learn how happy the people are living with their socialist government which genuinely looks after the welfare and livelihood of the people and where there are no poor or homeless people and where people live everywhere in clean and beautiful environment of beautiful public parks and splendid shopping malls.

So lucky, only 13 cases of TB in Bedok, in the eastern part if the island

 TB used to be a dreaded disease in the 50s and 60s of Singapore. The whole neighbourhood would be in an uproar when a case was found. Then it was eradicated by rising standard of medicare, hygiene and control. TB was a thing of the past. Now Singaporeans can have a taste of what TB is all about. The careful and sensitive Singaporeans may be perturbed by this disease and start to worry about people coughing around them, especially in the same confined of aircon offices or in classrooms, maybe childcare centres, or in trains or in taxis or Grabs.

The experts and authority have come out to assure the public that there is nothing much to worry about. TB is not like Covid, cannot be easily transmitted. Using same utensils or toilet bowls did not pose high risk of infection. It is transmitted through the air, vapour droplets when the infected coughed or sneezed. Wearing of masks if not comfortable, I think, should be good enough. I think only ah. I am no expert.

Singaporeans are so lucky. Singapore is in good hands and have been kept safe from TB for several decades by the old guards. The old guards got rid of TB and Singaporeans have lived the past decades completely oblivious of TB. Tb is making a comeback, but not to worry. The new guards have them under control. What is 13 cases? And TB is not that infectious. Also reported Malaysia has a few hundred cases.

Singapore is very safe and very hygienic and in good hands. Everything is under control. Trust me. Oh, need to be more careful in choice of my holiday destinations, and the confines of aircraft. Better be careful where you travel to, or you will have to answer 'Yes' in your immigration entry card. Dunno what will happen after that. 

Epstein Files - When you trust Jews as friends, you don't need enemies

  Trump trusts Netanyahu and think he is safe. All the videos about him in Epstein's Island have stopped showing up as long as he behaves. All the senators and congressmen and women have stopped trying to expose him and impeach him for his despicable exploitation of young girls in the company of Epstein. Trump is very smart to have great friends like Epstein and Netanyahu. Caveat, he would be smarter if he did not have such friends in the first place. Now he is a kept man, to do the bidding of Netanyahu or else.

Trump does not need enemies with friends like Epstein and Netanyahu. The Americans do not need enemies with friends like the Jews. The Arabs and Muslims too do not need enemies with Israel or USA as their friends. See how happy and peaceful are the immediate neighbours of Israel! Oops, for the Palestinians, Hezbollah, Lebanese, Syrians, Iraqis, things are obviously different when they are not friends of Israel. Iran and the rest of the Arab and Muslim states are distant neighbours.

The Europeans are feeling very uncomfortable. Some nobles and royalties are regretting having Israeli friends like Epstein and Maxwell. But they have had their fun and should not complain. European states are different, will not get close to Israel, now carrying a ten foot pole. Only the Germans are still with Israel, trying to mitigate their WW2 crimes against the Jews. 

No decent or sensible country will want to openly call Israel as friend. The crimes against humanity and genocides are too horrific to stomach and to will away. Only the brain dead and equally evil allies and cronies of these two terrorist states would not mind the genocides and the wars. The Palestinians, Arabs and Muslims paid a very heavy price for trusting the Jews and the Americans but not learning anything and are still trusting the Jews and Americans, conducting talks for cease fire, not for eternal peace. Every time the Jews need a breather, need to restock their ammunition, they will for a cease fire talk with the ever gullible Arabs and Muslims. And the Jews were never disappointed by the ever trusting Arabs and Muslims, who still believe they can be friends with the Jews and can live happily ever after, after every cease fire talk. They never believe that history repeats itself over and over again, to those that trust the Jews and the Americans and happening everyday. They did not know that the whole world is laughing at their stupidity...actually the stupidity of their leaders that are selling them out to the Americans and the Jews.

When you have friends like the Jews and also the Americans, there is no need for enemies. Caveat, the gullible will never believe in this. Do not tell them when they are making mistakes over and over again. Let them be genocided by the Americans and the Jews and their lands taken away from them.

Stupidity cannot be cured.

As old obsolete myths fall, a new era will rise

As most of the old obsolete myths fall, a new era will rise. The world will look at the USA in a different light.

The world had already been looking for alternatives to the US$ hegemony after seeing the evil designs that had arisen through the weaponization of the US$. That weaponization move, I think, kills all the appetite of continuing to worship the US$ hegemony. But for decades, the world could do nothing about it, as everything is still stuck in the deep-seated reliance on the US$ for the purchase of oil.

No one could come up with a viable alternative - not even Saddam Hussein who tried and wanted to do oil in Euros and had to be destroyed for floating a provocative idea in the minds of the USA. No country was strong enough to undertake another attempt to confront the US$ hegemony, and Saddam Hussein was to be the 'chicken killed to teach the monkeys'. Not until BRICS came quietly into the picture. Touted just an irritant and brushed aside.

BRICS was created to provide a viable alternative to the US$ hegemonic system. It was never meant to be an overnight mission to create a system that can rival the long-standing US$ hegemony, but one that does enough just by chipping away at the US$ foundation. Several global currencies were designated global reserve currencies before the US$, so do not assume that any change of status cannot come forth going forward.

The importance of oil catapulted the US$ to its prime, but that presumption could always change with renewables becoming mainstream and overtaking oil. Does that answer the question why Trump had always been against renewables undermining oil? Trump does not subscribe to climate change. His only preoccupation is 'drill baby drill'.

Trump can have all the oil for himself in time to come, just like having all the unprocessed rare earth dirt that he boasted about. Does the possession of so much rare earth dirt make any difference without to logistics to turn them into useful elements?

New USA Fed chief wants to cancel USA's US39 trillion debts

The new USA Fed chief wants to cancel USA's US39 trillion debts. I had to hit my forehead to make sure I am awake and not having a nightmare. Oh, not a nightmare for me actually, as I am not an investor in toilet papers.

How can a debt be cancelled just like that? Tell all the creditors that the USA is not going to repay all its debts and going to cancel it? That is defaulting, declaring bankrupt and committing daylight banditry. Now, I believe all creditors of USA, including foreign holders, will just say thank you. And they will continue to buy US$ treasuries and investments after the reset.

Wait a minute, about 70% of that US$39 trillion debts are held by the Fed, USA big banks, hedge funds, pension funds and ordinary USA citizens. Now, that makes it really interesting, and I am sure it is all for the good of the country. I am sure USA pensioners and citizens are willing to make the ultimate sacrifice. Having said that, it means the US$ hegemony is gone the way of the dodo bird. And anything trotted out by the USA in future is no longer triple A stuff anymore, maybe just triple junk status, so who is going to buy them. And unlimited money printing is out of the question, as that printed money is as worthless as real toilet papers. At least toilet papers have its use, and an important use.

I am not an economist or expert, but if someone owes you money, you are damn sure going to make every effort to get your money back, not to talk about lending more money to that someone. Let us see if the USA financial wizards, or conmen, really have a way to wriggle its way out of the conundrum.
