The clown Washington Regime and their circus acts

America is now facing a US39 trillion debt that it cannot repay. Does this bother the clowns in Washington? Not a wee bit. Not a single clown thinks this is a serious problem, that it will collapse the American economy. Instead they are pointing the finger at China, China is collapsing, China is collapsing. And they are so sure and so happy about it. On the other hand they are still spending like no tomorrow. Everyone is spending, the private sector and the War Department are happily spending away. Oops, the War Dept is asking for more money, in the billions and trillions, to make more weapons to conduct more wars and invasion and to commit more mass murders and genocide. They did not care what is happening to the other departments like health, education, social welfare, crumbling age old infrastructure, not even about trade. No trade is ok. Apply more bans and sanctions, don't sell what is good and expensive to make more money, sell soya beans and unwanted chips to force others to buy them when nobody wants them. America has no problems, not breaking down. China is collapsing with so many problems, but Xi is happily visiting the rural areas to shake hands with the peasants, no time for wars.

The only measure of success or well being of America is the stock market, the stock indices in Wall Street. As long as they are heading up, even with no real productivity or growth, no sales, never mind. Spread more lies and hopes about the future, about how big AI and data centres will be, spend and spend to build multi trillion dollar data centres, no profit never mind. Speculate on the future, like SpaceX, that the future is going to be very bright, in 10 years or 20 years, on a dream, on a product that is still in spread sheet and powerpoint, not even a physical model. How many trillions have been ploughed into this futuristic dream?

The other measure of success is about winning wars, winning hot wars but losing wars in all fronts, tech wars, chip wars, EV wars, rare earth wars, financial wars. With the dollar losing ground, the foundation that allows the Americans to print money being eroded, never mind. Just more coercion and sanctions will work. The dollar is untouchable, cannot be replaced. See, Wall Street is on the best and longest bull run in history, just like the pre 1929 days. Everyone in Wall Street is making money, fiat money, on paper. This is what America is all about to the Washington clowns. A mixed of financial circus and military adventurism around the world. Just go out there and take whatever they want, oil, land, other people's money, other people's ports, act like like pirates and highwaymen. Have gun will travel. America is the outlaw, America is the Empire that rules the world...for how long? Don't ask the Washington clowns. They don't know, they did not want to know. They just want more weapons, more missiles, more warships, more bombs to bully the world, to wipe out civilisations that they don't like. 

Anyone missing the Washington Circus and the clowns? See the face of the orange man? They are winning, they are winning. Winning what?

India's problem is unique

India's problem is unique. While countries with falling population are better able to cope with AI cannibalizing jobs, India's expanding population is no longer going to be touted as a 'population dividend' to be reaped. It was a fallacy created by the Western media, harping on the population increase as a savior for India. It is more a curse that is extremely difficult to exorcise.

India, even if it tries to mitigate the problem is unable to make effective use of population control measures for logistical reasons. Birth control measures do not reach effectively into the rural areas and the uneducated. This is also a problem for the Philippines for religious reasons, but I do not want to talk about that. Both are caught in a bind, with maybe the Philippines facing less severe consequences.

China now builds everything so big and on such a scale...

China now builds everything so big and on such a scale that it could not be stolen by the White thieves.

China is building the world's biggest high-speed railway system that cannot be transplanted anywhere else in the world. China is building the biggest EV manufacturing ecosystem on the planet that does not rely on fossil fuel. China is building the biggest electrification system in the country that will save China from being held hostage by being blockaded by countries having unlimited access to fossil fuel. China is building portable nuclear power stations for export to the rest of the world. China intention is to enable itself and the world to rely as little as possible on fossil fuel, investing more and more in renewables. China is building and expanding its biggest space station and still adding to it. China is a workhorse intending to win on every count, while some are just show horses pretending to impress.

In spite of all this, China is also building the world's biggest oil refineries to process oil for other countries. This may be a big surprise to many, but China has a plan, a long-term plan and a patient plan. China does its calculation based on long term benefits, not short-term advantage.

Dear You - A Teochew budget chart buster from China

 This is the most unassuming budget movie Made in China, from a relatively unknown producer and with a crew of relatively unknown and first time actors and actresses. It would have simply be blown away with time in Singapore if not of the attention it gathered from being politicised by Lianhe Zaobao. According to Sim Tze Wei, the writer of the article, it was China's 'united front work' to win the hearts and minds of overseas Chinese. How did this writer came up with this interpretation of the film, who authorised her to look at it from this angle, who approved the article for publication, are no longer important. The attention it got from local and foreign readers has stirred great interest in a small budget film that many would not be bothered to take a second look. 

Like they say, forbidden fruit tastes better, or attracts more undue attention. The film is now the talk of the town, especially among the Teochew dialect speakers in Hougang. All tickets were sold within a couple of hours of listing. And the Teochew speaking Singaporeans are appealing for more screening in the original Teochew dialect instead of the Mandarin dubbed version, more authentic flavour and nuances, closer to the hearts. It  is good to feel with the heart. To the older generations that were Teochew speakers, there is this sense of nolstagia to listen to the language live again in full glory, to reflect and live the time when the early Chinese migrants, mostly poor and illiterate peasants, arrived in a foreign land to eke a living, and how they adapt to the harsh and unfriendly local environment. The film touches mainly on the emotions, relationship and attachments of human beans when their main concern was about filling the stomach, about feeding and caring for the families they left behind in their Motherland...when they had barely enough to feed themselves. It was a time when everything was not enough, when life was simple, eat, sleep, work and responsibility to their dear ones they left behind in China.

To the strawberry generation of entitlement and eating too much, stomach too full, tired of eating chicken and meat, the film is a good reminder of the hard times their forefathers had to face, to start from scratch, from nothing. Many left their villages with nothing except the clothes on their backs. What unemployment rate, what jobs? There was no job in China, especially for the illiterate peasants. The jobs available in Nanyang were mainly manual labour, to be coolies, trishaw pullers, odd job labourers, servants etc etc. No 8 to 5 jobs in the offices, no gig workers, no employment benefits, no permanent jobs, no retirement benefits. The few cents or dollar they earned were from blood, sweat and tears. 

Their dwelling or abodes were mostly cubicles, tiny rooms divided by wooden planks, sometimes several heads in a room. A single room, not bigger than 10ft by 10ft, could be home to a family of 5 to 10, and sharing a common toilet or kitchen with many families. No radio or TV. Life was rustic, simple and bare. No 5 Cs, no posh cars, condos, good class bungalows, no HDB flats. The cubicles survived till the early 1970s in Chinatown area. The big fire in Bukit Ho Swee swept away a large part of early Singapore.

Life in those those time was anything but politics. No united front work till the fight for independence from colonial rule in the 1950s. What Singapore is today must not be taken for granted by the entitlement generation. Singapore was built from the bare backs of our forefathers, literally from nothing. Do not give Singapore away freely to the new foreigners who are here to pluck the low hanging fruits from the trees our forefathers planted. It is not easy for what we have today, everyday dreaming about becoming millionaires, about condos and GCBs, about jobs that paid a million. 

Go see the film and have a peep at what life was in early Singapore, the times of have nots, of deprivation, when any job is a good job, when every job available is manual labour. Dear You is a little bit of history of how we started and arrived here today. Do not forget your past, do not forget how we get here. Don't think easy come easy go. The Singapore today is a cumulation of the struggle and hard work of several generations of pioneers, built piece by piece from a virgin tropical jungle.

Put aside the silly thought of united front work. This is 2026, not the 19th Century or early 1900s.

America is a failed state, oops, America is not a state but an Israeli controlled regime

 The American Empire used to rule the world with its mighty military might, its number one economy and a Hollywood and pop culture that captured the imagination and aspiration of the world. America was everything the world wants. Everyone wants to be in America, to be American. Everyone accepts American leadership with very little resistance. America is the paragon of all virtues and all goodness. The Americans deserved to be proud of who they were. Only a few years ago, up to the time of Bush Junior and Hillary Clinton, the Americans were still standing on high pedestal looking down at a world ruled by them, untouchable. American exceptionalism, manifest destiny, the beacon of democracy, human rights, rules based order and all the jest.

What is America today? What has happened to the great American Empire, the leader of the world? Did anyone notice the change, that America is not the America that it used to be? When did this happen? Actually the decline of America started a few decades ago when the American democratic system started to fail, when it no longer be able to throw up good and able leaders to lead. Caveat, the Jews will not allow any credible and strong will American to be elected, that they cannot control. Every POTUS is looking more dull and clueless as his predecessor, even lack of virtues and human decency. The Jews conduct regime change in America during every election, deciding who should be elected, not the hillbillies. The Americans did not bother, accept all the freaks and clowns to be their leaders because they still believed in their presumably superior democratic system, not knowing that the system is not working and has been hijacked by the rich and powerful Jews to do their bidding.

The rot was there but not bad enough until Trump came along, a gangster with no morals, a man of bad character that any decent American would not want to be near to. But he was and is their president, specially put up by the Jews, and that means he is untouchable, has to be respected. Even American luminaries would address Trump respectfully as my President, the President, while knowing how depraved this clown is...that he is a stooge of Israel.

Everything fell out of the bag in Trump's second term. He treats America, the American Empire, as a mafia organisation, his own mafia organisation, and also takes order from Israel. He calls the shot, he thinks so. There is no law, no principle to talk about. What he feels and thinks, if he is capable of thinking, is the law. This is bad enough, but not bad enough. The Americans suddenly realised that America did not belong to them but to Israel. Israel is the master of the American Empire. Trump, the supposedly brash and arrogant mafia don, is only a puppet being ruled and controlled by the Israelis to do what the Israelis want him to do. What happens to the great American Empire or America? There is no America, no American Empire, but a colony of Israel. The Israelis controls the Senate, the Congress and the White House and the President. All the financial and military resources of America is at the disposal of Israel. Israel owns America. 

And the daft Americans accept this as their new fate, as a colony of Israel, and its POTUS a kept man taking orders from Netanyahu, his handler. America is now a joke. No American is protesting about being a colony of Israel.
