US, The Evil Empire creates and thrives on wars and instbilities

US. The Evil Empire creates and thrives on wars and instabilities

For the last seventy years there has been endless wars and instabilities throughout the world.. Why is it so? The fingers inevitably point to the Evil Empire , USA. America believes in permanent warfare and conquest and this is based on their evil Doctrine of Christian Discovery and Manifest Destiny.. Under this doctrine America claims it has the divine right to attack, conquer, subjugate and hold complete hegemony over all other countries.

America uses various ways and means in its evil mission of conquest and hegemony. It uses cheating, fraud, currency manipulation, unfair trade, commerce and industrial sabotage, espionage, political control, cyber attacks, direct and proxy warfare.

Between the 1920s and 1970s America had a monopoly of Middle East oil.It set the price of  oil at five US Dollars per barrel. It was able to sell in the market at between fifty to eighty dollars per barrel. The Arab oil producing countries were ripped while US enriched itself fabulously. Further the Arabs had to agree to trade the oil in US dollars only. This locked out the Arabs from trading direct with other countries other than through US oil giant corporations. Thus when Iraq under Saddam Hussein and later Gadaffi of Libya tried to trade oil direct with other countries in currencies other than the US dollars they were atacked and killed. Thus regime change is US evil policy against countries which do not toe the US line. Further when oil was depressed at five dollars per barrel US was able to ship billions of tons of Middle East oil to US to be kept as oil reserves .

Before the 1970s there was international agreement that every US dollar must be backed in gold. This means that a country has every right to demand from the US government to be paid in gold equivalent to the amount of US dollars it is holding and which it now wants to return it to US. The US government reneged on this agreement in 1972 and in the Bretton Woods Agreement it openly defied the world by refusing to peg the US dollar to the value of gold. Thus US is and has been able to cheat the world since the US dollar is still the world's standard currency for trading. When US is in trade deficit with other countries it is just able to print more paper money to pay the creditor countries. This is a dangerous trend because eventually the US dollar will become a banana currency with little or no value.

When US wants to control and hold hegemony over a region it will first sow seeds of dissension and discord among the countries in the region. It will then create a demand of dependency and protection from US. Behind the scene US will continuously foment distrust and hatred among the squabbling countries and quietly leading the unsuspecting countries to hostilities and open warfare. It is then how the US enrich itself by seliing weapons and all kinds of military hardware to the warring factions. In the meantime US pretends to play the peacemaker though for holding hegemony it never really will want the warring factions to have peace. This can be seen in the whole of the Middle East. Now US is trying to replicate the same scenario in the Far East and in the South China Sea . US is really a horrible evil empire .

US is also exerting world hegemony by manipulating the world's monetary, financial and banking business as well as manipulating the stock markets , trade, commerce and industries all over the world. American rogue leaders in private sectors are synonymous with rogue leaders in the government. They work as one banditry team and correlate their activities in supplanting and robbing each and every other country in this world. They are able to cheat and swindle the whole world because they hold full sway over the World Bank and the IMF.

To maintain its continuous world hegemony, America has build over one thousand military bases in all corners of the world. It is signing up unsuspecting countries as allies to help in its aggression. It will stir up trouble in peaceful regions and create tensions , instabilities and wars among the unsuspecting countries so that American war industries will keep on humming as they are able to sell weapons and military hardware to the warring factions .

It is time the world wake up and put a stop to the evil doings of America , a country born out from their evil Doctrine of Christian Discovery and American Manifest Destiny, a country which robbed and stole the lands from native American Indians.

Dispelling the myth of an expansionist China

By Chua Chin Leng (chinadaily.com.cn)Updated: 2015-11-13 17:48

The world has been misled into believing that China is an ambitious and expansionist country coveting the land of neighboring states. This myth has been hyped by the western media for several decades so that the undiscerning now accept this view uncritically without bothering to confirm if it is true.

The South China Sea territorial disputes have been used by superficial academics or those with an agenda as proof that China is indeed expansionist. Without understanding the facts, many have been gullible to accept the disputes in the South China Sea as the proof they needed that China is claiming the islands of the counter claiming parties. The truth is that these countries are claiming islands that China has claimed long before these countries were formerd and were recognized as countries.

There is historical evidence to show that modern China was and is never has been expansionist. There were 3 incidents or wars that China was involved in after 1949 where China could have seized the land of neighboring countries that it had occupied. Take the case of the Korean Peninsula. After the armistice China withdrew completely from what is now North Korea without leaving a single soldier on Korean soil.

It could have stayed on, on the same false pretenses the Americans used to continue to station troops in South Korea. More than 60 years after the Korean War, the American troops are still in South Korea and will not leave.

A similar situation existed in the Sino-Indian border conflict of 1962. Chinese troops were deep into India and could have stayed on the newly occupied land. However, China did not want any Indian territories.. They had all the excuses to stay and stake their claims. They withdrew completely out of the Indian lands it had conquered during the conflict. Why would an expansionist country with designs on its neighbor’s land voluntarily return the land it had fought for and won?

The third incident was the border war with Vietnam. The Chinese troops marched deep into Vietnam and could have sat on Vietnamese land with the Vietnamese looking lost and frustrated by the Chinese presence but unable to do anything. An expansionist country would have done just that. Again the Chinese troops withdrew back into China and allowed Vietnam to move back to the border with China.

In all three incidents, China could have taken advantage of the conflicts to seize the territories of its neighbors. Why not, since Chinese troops were occupying the disputed lands? So, is China expansionist when it could hold on to the territories the defeated neighboring states had lost? Since the end of the wars, China has not given trouble to its neighbors on their borders. Why then is China being accused of being expansionist?

Ask the North Koreans, the Indians and the Vietnamese for proof that China is coveting the land at their borders. Ask the rest of the 17 countries with borders with China if China has been attempting to seize their lands. Many of the 17 neighboring states of China were small and militarily weak and would not be able to resist a land grabbing China. No, they all live peacefully with China with no violation of their territories.

   

Whose problem is ISIS?

The West cries for the blood of ISIS following the Paris attack. The French launched more air strikes in Syria in vengeance. The rest of world condemns this uncivilized attack on civilians in the streets of Paris. I am not going to harp on the hundreds of thousands of Iraqis and Syrians killed by the smart bombs and drones of the Americans and their allies without any condemnation by anyone, without any leader saying he feels sad about it. The big question is, whose problem is ISIS?

A Sulaiman Daud posted in his facebook to acknowledge that it is a Muslim problem. His full article is posted in the TRE titled, ‘ISIS is an Islamic problem, we Muslims must confront this reality’. And I quote a couple of paragraph from his post,

‘ISIS is a Muslim organisation, and it is an Islamic problem. Let me say it again to be perfectly clear. ISIS is a Muslim organisation, and they are a cancer at the heart of Islam. And the problem will not go away until Muslims confront that….ISIS is not America’s problem, nor the British, nor the French. ISIS is not Syria or Iraq’s problem. ISIS is a problem for Muslims. And if you can’t admit that, you’re not really a good Muslim either.’

I would agree with Sulaiman that it is a Muslim problem but it is also not a Muslim problem. In the ST on 17 Nov 15, there was another article by a Mohan J Dutta titled, ‘Violence and terror…’, where he described the Western narrative as the conventional truth that the barbaric ISIS is the scourge of modern civilization. But Mohan also got into a bit of the history of how ISIS came about, who created them, trained them, armed them and financed them. No need to guess for the answer. For the sake of the ignoramus, the mother of ISIS is none other than the Americans and their allies. They created this Frankenstein to do their dirty work in removing Saddam Hussein and now in the process of removing Basher Assad.

ISIS is the work of the West. Period.  So, whose problem is ISIS? Is ISIS just a Muslim problem or is it an American or Western problem? I say again, those who lived by the sword will be killed by the sword. The sword is swinging back at the Americans and their allies.

Sulaiman Daud should not be too hasty and liberal to accept full responsibility. The responsibility lies squarely on the big devil that created ISIS. Islam is just a collateral in the Americans’ devious war on regime change in the Middle East. They let out this monster ISIS and could not put it back into the bottle.

The saddest part of it all

The unthinking are now feeling so remorseful, so guilty and responsible for the killings in the streets of Paris. Did they ever want to know who were the real devils behind the carnage in Paris? Iraq, Libya, Syria and many Middle Eastern and North African countries are in turmoil, a plan conceived and executed to perfection by the Americans, to destabilize these countries and agitate them to keep on fighting and killing each other, to be bombed to Stone Age. As long as these people are killing each other, their countries will be in ruins, their lives will be in ruins.

Now who are the greatest beneficiaries of the war in these countries? No need to think so hard. If you still cannot figure out, think Americans, their western allies, the Israelis and of course the arms merchants of war. And the devils are partying in Washington, seeping wine and whisky with caviar without any sense or remorse or responsibility, without any sense of guilt.

On the other hand the unthinking around the world are feeling so responsible and guilty and wanting to kill the ISIS. Yes, the ISIS is evil and must be destroyed. What about the devil that created them, trained them, armed them and financed them?

The devil is now in the South China Sea trying to destabilize the region and inciting the unthinking to start another war. And some of the unthinking would be joining the ranks of the devil. And when war starts, when their countries are bombed, when their people died, they will blame everyone else except the devil and themselves.

The lost sheep are the unthinking, being manipulated to hate, to kill, and the devil is smiling from afar, offering more arms, more aids, more training, and more bombs, for the unthinking to kill themselves, or feeling guilty and responsible if not doing so.

Kishore is serious about public public transport system

Our privatized public transport may be due for a change if Kishore Mahbubani has a say in it. Oops, he definitely has a say in it but not sure if he can decide on it. Yesterday at a symposium on Future Mobility he repeated his call for the nationalization of the public transport system to include the buses and taxis.

Kishore said, ‘Singapore’s public sector is world class. But its private sector is not. So if the country wants the best public transport system in the world, shouldn’t the public sector be in the driver’s seat?’  It is so logical and so simple. Now where has Kishore come from? Has he been away for too long that he forgot the original rationale touted by the govt that the public transport must be privatized in order to be efficient? That the public transport ran by the public sector in the past was just too inefficient, in other words the civil servants were not able to run the public transport system efficiently. Come to think of it, was the privatized public transport system ever been run by anyone from the private sector other than the period under Saw?

Actually Kishore knows and I quote why, ‘He said the country should not “remain a prisoner of old economic ideas”, such as the notion that public transport should be privatized.’ He is so polite. He blamed it on an old economic idea and not some wise ones who touted the idea that the public sector people are duds, cannot run a transport system efficiently. Anyway it is good to praise the public sector as world class and this may be very well received. With this as a starting point, the world class people may now be brave enough to challenge the old notion that they were inefficient, so it is time to take back the public transport system to prove that actually they can run the public transport efficiently.

Would anyone be objecting to this notion that public sector is unfit to run the public transport system? Khaw Boon Wan has rolled up his sleeves and wading deep into the MRT problems with his public sector chief and engineers. Luckily he did not go to the world to look for some experts to come here to solve our transport problems. Kishore can quote this as testimony to prove that the public sector can do it.

There is a little snag. It was reported in the media that nationalization of public transport was a clarion call by the Workers’ Party for years. Would this cheeky comment be a game changer not to nationalize the public transport system no matter how clever the arguments Kishore put up? If Kishore is successful in his say, the public transport system will come full circle, from public public transport system to privatized public transport system and back to public public transport system. I think the opposition party camp would be calling this flip flopping.

17 countries in Vienna to decide the fate of President Assad of Syria

What an irony with 17 countries attending a meeting in Vienna to determine the fate on who should be the leader of the Syrians. They are going to decide the fate of President Assad, not the Syrian people. The meeting was understandably led by the Americans and their allies in another of its plan for a regime change. The Russians too were there to make sure the Americans would not have their way to remove Assad, a Russian ally.

China was also represented by it Vice Foreign Minister Li Baodong while the Americans were represented by their Secretary of State John Kerry to take on his Russian counterpart Sergio Lavrov. China’s low key presence was like a watching brief as China’s policy is not to interfere in the domestic affairs of another country. In the meeting China’s position was for the Syrians to determine their own future and to help in the reconstruction of Syria after the war.

The interference of the domestic affairs of another country is fair game to the Americans. Any country watching this sad episode should be aware that their fate would be similar to the Syrians once the Americans take an interest in their affairs and decided for a regime change. Malaysia seems like a good candidate with Najib under siege now that Myanmar is out of the picture. Who else would be a potential candidate for regime change in the Asean region? Indonesia or perhaps the Philippines should there be a challenge to Aquino’s leadership or a big tussle in the next Presidential election, or should the Muslim rebels in the south provides a good opening for the good Americans to step in?

Would another 17 countries be meeting somewhere to decide the fate of an Asean country and their leaders?

CLOB’s disappearing act

Can anyone remember what happened to those Malaysian CLOB shares that were once listed in our Stock Exchange? Yes, first they became penny stocks, then super penny stocks, that consolidation from 1000 to 1 and from 100 to 1 and ended with practically nothing. This magician act of turning a mountain into a mole hill and then to a grain of sand is going to be repeated in the Singapore Stock market once again.

Many stocks in the mainboard were allowed to be split, just like the CLOB shares to penny stocks and eventually turning into super penny stocks. Who said history does not repeat itself? Only people who did not know history would repeat the mistakes of the past.

The penny and super penny stocks have been given a dead line to consolidate by 2016 or face being delisted. We cannot have a Mickey Mouse stock exchange. Who said so? How come we don’t know and allow our market to be turned into a Mickey Mouse stock exchange? Did we see it coming? Did we see how damaging it will be to allow the value of stocks in the mainboard to become penny stocks by splitting and splitting? Whose great idea was it and what was the purpose of this great idea? To facilitate computer trading or to encourage children to play in the stock market?

So now someone thinks it is not a good idea to have penny and super penny stocks. What about reducing the board lot size to 100 shares or later to unit share? To provide liquidity or to facilitate computer trading again? Again I would like to ask, whose great idea is this and what is the purpose? Oh, more liquidity so that little children can buy with a few dollars in their kitty banks.  What then is the difference between a Mickey Mouse stock market with penny and super penny stocks and a Mickey Mouse stock market with unit shares that cost a few cents or a few dollars to trade?

Got difference meh? Got. Ok, I surrender. Someone said, LPPL. Does anyone want to remember the history of CLOB shares and penny stocks and where it will end up?

The USA pulling out its blue prints to create an ISIS in South China Sea

Watch this video, ISIS was created by the US, VID-20151015-WA0001.mp4. It is only 11 minutes long to open your eyes as to who is the real evil one. The formula was to destabilise the Arab states one by one. The first to go was Iraq and then Libya, and now Syria. The strategy was to keep the Middle East in constant warfare to benefit the war industries in the USA and of cause you know who are the other beneficiaries?

The blue prints said, first topple the govt, then destroy the infrastructure, then destroy the societies and the country will break apart. It happened to Iraq, Libya, Eygpt and many of the North African states and those in the Middle East. Syria is on the way to be like another Iraq.

The second step is to feed the socalled rebels or resistance movements or anyone that would accept the arms, money and training to fight the existing order. Break down the law and order, and keep feeding the fighters. And there you have it, disorder and a destabilised country. And ISIS rules from the ruins. The people were displaced, no jobs, no industry, no schools, no services, basically anarchy. That is the main goal of the Americans, to keep the Arab countries forever at war, countries in turmoil, and be kept at the stage of Stone Age. And they have succeeded exceedingly well. They will keep fanning the war and keep destabilising the region.

The same blue print is being rolled out in the South China Sea. There is law and order and stability in East and South East Asia at the moment. But the US has created an enemy for the unthinking and silly leaders in the region to hate. Now the Americans are pouring money in to the unthinking but willing to take on the straw man as their enemy. They will arm the silly leaders and train them to fight. And soon there will be wars in the South China Sea, and the region destabilised. The silly people will be shouting God is Great and fighting without knowing why they are fighting. And their economies will be in ruins and they will be depending on the USA for more aids and assistance so that they can continue to fight a war they did not know how it happened. What about economic development for their country and people?

Who are the silly leaders that would want to be the ISIS of the region? They will not put up their hands but we can see them standing up to volunteer for it. The Americans are starting with US250m and maybe a junk warship for the Philippines to start with.

Welcome aboard thick heads, to do the killings and to be killed and turn South East Asia into another war zone. Who would be the potential ISIS countries to help to destabilise the region? The Americans will be your strongest backers to supply you with arms and money to fight a war they started for you while your country and economy will rot like Iraq, Libya and Syria. Is that what you want for your country and people?

Oops, my apologies, I am wasting my time. Thick heads would not understand. They just want to have guns in their hands and to act like the Americans, be trigger happy.

The Americans turning their allies into addicts

What does one know about being an addict? Yes it is addiction when the dependency on a drug or something is so great that one cannot do or live without it. The Americans have done exactly this, to convert their allies into addicts for American presence and protection. The American military umbrella now is indispensable, more badly needed than before after the Paris attack. All the countries that were forced into the Coalition of the Unwilling are now accomplices to the act of violating the land of the Arabs and Muslims in the Middle East. They are now trembling in fear that they will be the next target of the ISIS. No one knows where and when the ISIS suicide squads will hit next. But they are sure that the ISIS will hit, only a matter of time and only where.

‘According to Ernest Bower of Washington based think tank, Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), “Countries such as Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei have real and immediate concerns about citizens who have left to fight in Syria and Iraq, and will be returning…After Paris, most Asian countries will be looking to the US for leadership in the counter ISIS fight.’ And Ernest gloated, ‘This will underline the US’ global security role.’ I quote this from an Agencies report dated 17 Nov 15 in the Today paper.

What Ernest did not say is that those countries that were involved in the American’s war in the Middle East, particularly in Iraq and Syria, will be the main targets of ISIS with France being the first victim. The rest will have to wait for their turn to see carnage on their streets. The Americans have succeeded in turning their allies into a high dependency states for American protection by dipping their hands in the blood of Iraqis and Syrians in their joint campaigns in these countries. There is no escape and no where to hide and no one to turn to except to the Americans.

And there is no option to go for cold turkey treatment. Once addicted, forever tainted and cannot get out of the game of American treachery and deceit in the game of death. They destabilized and broke up countries and dragged their allies to do the dirty works with them. The allies will now have to go down on their knees to beg for protection and get more addicted everyday.

France’s problem, Singapore’s solution

The govt leaders, analysts and experts must be wondering what went wrong in France that led to the massacre over the weekend. Could it be avoided if the French govt did the right things. Never mind about the French bombings in the Middle East. They were there for training and target practices, nothing to do with the attack in Paris.

 

I was listening to Channel News Asia news programme and there was the answer everyone was looking for. It was so simple but no one could think of it. Our terrorist expert in the S Rajaratnam School of International Affairs, Prof Rohan Gunaratna explained France’s problem and what France could have done and avoided the attack.

 

France has a huge immigrant population and mostly from the Middle East and Africa, and mostly Muslims. As a result there was an integration problem. The French govt failed to integrate them into the main stream of its society. Many were jobless and live in the ghettos and continue to live their way of life that is very different from the French. They were marginalized and remain aliens in France. And what can you expect from poor, jobless, hungry and marginalized people? They are angry and felt neglected, let down and outcasts in France. Such people would easily be lured into the world of terrorism, to take revenge on the society that had left behind. And there you have it, the Saturday Night Fever that was deadly.

 

The European countries that are taking in the refugees must learn this lesson from France. They must take good care of the refugees, give them good jobs, do not let them get together to live in slums or ghettos. Integrate them with the rest of the population. When these people are fully integrated and become like the rest of the citizens, you would not have terrorist problems.

 

Don’t ask me how to integrate the Muslim immigrants with the mainly Christian locals. But I may suggest they learn from Singapore. Singapore has a huge immigrant population but they are successfully integrated and blended very well with the locals. The govt spent a lot of time and money to integrate them and the locals have fallen in love with them. But that is only one part of it. Give them good jobs. In this area Singapore has definitely outdone everyone else. We not only gave them good jobs, we gave them top jobs instead of giving the jobs to Singaporeans. And the unemployment rate of Singaporeans is even higher than the immigrants. And when Singaporeans lost their jobs and could not find jobs in Singapore, the govt would not impose a pro citizen policy of hiring Singaporeans first. Instead the govt would train the Singaporeans to work overseas. So the angry Singaporeans would not be left behind, jobless and trying to make ends meet and give trouble. They will be happily employed overseas.

 

And, oh yes, this one very important. In Singapore, the immigrants don’t stay in the ghettos. They either live with the Singaporeans in their homes, fully integrated or they live in private condos in their own ghettos, together. Oops, living in private estates on their own would be fine. They will be so happy that they would not think of becoming terrorists in their fine homes that are better than the average Singaporeans.

 

This is the successful story of full integration with the immigrants, to make them happy, with good jobs and good homes, the Singapore integration way. The European countries must send their officials here on study mission to learn the right ways to integrate their immigrants before they turned into terrorists. France has its problems and the rest of the Europeans too have their problems with their immigrants.

 

Singapore has the solution in hand. It is called integration. So simple!

Highway robbery in Sin City

The entrance of Uber and Grabtaxi was supposed to bring in more competition to the local taxi industry and the immediate benefits taxi users are thinking off must be cheaper and better service. With more players on the road, these must be the case. After all the operating cost of these new players are very much cheaper than the traditional taxis.

There was this user who took a taxi at peak hours and hit by price surge. In the 27 minute trip, she paid $169! This is as good as a budget air ticket to Kuala Lumpur that is 500km away.  How could this happen? Sure it can happen and Uber explained how it works. The service has different rates for different level of services. The base rate or cheapest rate could be as cheap as the traditional taxi fare at $18 for a similar trip.

Taxi users better get use to this kind of cost for taking taxis. We are not the most expensive city in the world for nothing. The only think lacking behind is our taxi fares which is still very cheap compares to New York, Paris and London or other big cities. And many khongcums have been cheaping and cheaping and telling everyone our fares can go up higher to keep pace with the big cities. Cheap, cheap, cheap will soon be no more.

We are starting to see highway robberies on our roads when innocent taxi users could have their wallet emptied, legally.

 

The most significant cabinet change

The appointment of Heng Swee Kiat as the new Finance Minister is perhaps the most significant move by Hsien Loong to put the house in order. Too many things had happened in the banking and finance industry that were worst than the escape of Mas Selamat but not spoken and pretended that all is well. In fact all is not well in the banking and finance industry.

The unthinking embrace of derivatives as the business model for rapid growth to boost the dying stock market despite all the warning signs of a big derivative bubble waiting to collapse is not getting noticed by the people that should know how serious this could be to the banking industry. No one is taking heed and worse, plunging head long into this time bomb waiting to blow up. When it does, not only the whole banking and finance industry will be shaken, the whole economy will be affected and no one will get away unscathed by the ripple effect. It is like a weapon of mass destruction, to quote Warren Buffet, like the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the dead will be dead, the undead will be burnt and scarred for life.

The problems in the banking and finance industry are not limited to playing with fire and fraudulent products. When it was announced that we don’t have local talents to fill up the top management positions in the banking and finance industry, no one understood the seriousness of this development. How could a financial centre ended up with no financial talents? And the next big blurp, we will need another 30 years to develop our local talents for such positions. And everyone regard this statement as normal. What have we been doing all these years as a financial centre? Lost sheep not knowing what was happening?

And the frightening thing about these developments is that these are taken so lightly, as the new normal. No one sees anything wrong with it. No one sees any urgency about it. How did the local banking and finance industry degenerated to such an appalling state where there is a dearth of local talents? Wait a minute, this also means that the banking and finance industry is run and controlled by foreigners, not Singaporeans.  Does this ring a bell? Does anyone know how serious it is when the country’s banking and finance industry is in the hands of foreigners? Would they wait for the foreigners to pull the rug under our feet before they know how precarious this situation is?

Heng Swee Kiat has an enormous task to do, to reclaim the banking and finance industry to be run by Singaporeans, not by foreigners or new citizens. He better consults Koh Beng Seng and pull out the blue prints of Goh Keng Swee to rebuild our now non existence banking and finance industry. How can there be a banking and finance industry if it is controlled by foreigners?

If you take out the Wee family, take out Wee Ee Cheong, the whole banking industry is in the hands of foreigners. Is this a brilliant strategy or there is no strategy at all, no vision, no plans, let things happen, let the foreigners take control of our country, our banking and finance industry?

What do you think?

Breaking the cardinal principles of Total Defense

I read Darkness’ article on his lamentation on how the Israelis went about the defense of their country and people and why a Paris or Mumbai style attack is highly unlikely to succeed or even take place in Israeli cities. There are a homogenous people honed by circumstances to be consciously alert to any sign of trouble and everyone is trained to take ownership and responsibility of the surrounding. A bag left in the train or anywhere that it should not be would receive immediate attention by an Israeli nearby, not necessarily a uniformed officer. The Israelis practiced Total Defense to the hilt.

 

Comparing the Israelis, our Total Defense is a joke, a tragicomedy waiting to happen. Total Defense is not lip service and to be written on paper. The whole strategy must be understood by everyone, the citizen on the ground and the people at the top. A simple review of why the Israeli Total Defense is working and ours a farce would point to all the cardinal sins that we have committed to turn our Total Defense into a fishing net, full of holes.

 

For economic growth, for some silly theory that we need more foreigners to grow our economy, for coveting other people’s talent, for foolishly and dangerously embracing every foreigner into the country, into our social and govt organizations, and the nightmarish acceptance of foreigners to guard our entry points, sensitive organizations and even joining the police and armed forces, how can anyone talk about Total Defense? Even our commercial organizations, the IT and banking industries are controlled by foreigners. They could simply deactivate all the networks and commercial systems, collect all the sensitive information and data by now to do damage if needed.

 

How can we practice Total Defense when the potential enemies are living with us when more than 50% of our population is foreigners, when they are working side by side with us, eating and sleeping with us? If a bag or parcel is left in the train or a shopping centre, who is there to check on it, to alert the security when 6 out of 10 people are foreigners who have no interest in the safety and security of the people?

 

You cannot practice Total Defense, you cannot have Total Defense when the person beside you is not one of you and could be a potential enemy or terrorist. We have compromised our national security for the sake of economic growth. And some are so stupid to open their arms and legs to welcome every foreigner into their homes, into security and uniformed services.

 

How stupid can this country be? We have raised our security status due to the Paris attack and think we are now safer. How would it work, how can it work when the enemy is already with us? Who is going to guard against those that are guarding our security? Did they discover that one of the Paris attackers registered himself as a refugee in Greece and was allowed into France? How many are already in Europe? How many are already safe and secured in Singapore and waiting for the order to strike? We have more than 2 million foreigners here. You only need a handful of trained terrorists, 3 or 5 or 7, to strike terror deep in the heart of town.

 

Would someone want to rethink about Total Defense and the policy of bringing in foreigners by the millions? Did someone encourage these foreigners to integrate with us and betterer, other than joining RCs is to let them join the uniformed services, to be trained, to be armed, to put on our uniforms? And for sure, those recruited must be the most innocent looking and did not look threatening, did not look like terrorists. They have the fairest ladies to seduce James Bond not for no reasons.

Children, beware when people ask you for money

I would like to include adults in the word children as people will ask adults for money too. I do not want to say anything bad about any religion. But someone gave me this advice, when people ask you for money, be careful, think. And in particular, whatever religious groups or cults ask you for money, if there is a genuine reason say to build a place of worship, fair enough if you can afford and willing to contribute. But beware when after the place of worship is built and they are asking for more money to want to built a tower to heaven.

I feel that our children must be taught to think and to protect themselves from cheats and cons. I felt compel to write this after reading an article in the TRE and I would like to quote a few paragraphs of what the author wrote:

‘….they make you put the money into envelopes, then you put it into pouches...slowly I began to question – “Why was there is need?” …So the next service,…I didn’t give an offering…Then my mentor (everyone is assigned one) looked at me when I just passed the pouch over, asking why didn’t I give an offering. I said I have no more money left for the week, so can’t give anymore…After service at fellowship, the cell group leader requested to speak to me. He said it was my duty to put aside money for God every week, it was to show God my love and sincerity in worshipping Him….The following week onwards, they monitored if I gave offerings closely…. Yes, they monitor your tithings….’

Children, please, God has everything and does not need your money. God is not a greedy money grabber. God is not love deprived that you need to tell Him you love Him everyday to assure Him that He is loved by you or He will hate you or loses His self confidence that no one loves Him. God is not love crazy or love sick. God is not a conceited asshole that needs you to praise Him everyday. God has everything and does not need anything, if He is the God Almighty He has everything and is everything.

And parents of children, please do not allow your children to be pressurized by the con men and women to part with the little money they have. Speak to your children, educate your children. God does not need money. Those who have plenty and want to give, they can give. No one should be forced to give money to God.

When money is all the ‘God’ needs, he is not God. Run away as fast as you can from him. Do not go near him.

PS. For those who are interested in the article I quoted, you can go to TRE to read the details. The lesson is applicable to all religions, sects and cults. Obsession for money is a tell tale sign that things are not right. Don’t be cheated or deceived. Children must beware of people asking for money.

Of civilized and uncivilized wars

The war has come to Paris. To be politically correct, this cannot be called war but terrorism. If it is to be called war, it is must be called uncivilized war. There is a civilized way to conduct wars, called civilized war. Uncivilized war is an attack against humanity. I must also condemn this war to be politically correct. How can these terrorists, not soldiers as they were probably not paid, did not wear proper uniforms and ranks on them but suicide bomb belts, attacked innocent people in a football stadium watching football, people attending a rock concert or people having a good time drinking in a bar? I will join the civilized world to condemn this uncivilized war in the streets of Paris.

But the terrorists are shouting God is great. They never think it was a bad thing. They never think that it was uncivilized. Do you want to know why they thought that way? Ok, I must say this again in case people think I am supporting them. No, I am on the side of civilized people and would only support civilized war. Where am I, oh, why did these people think they are fighting a just war in the name of their God? It is unbelievable that people can invoke the name of God to fight wars. Only imbeciles did that, going to war and praying to God and said God help me.

Did anyone want to know why were these terrorists shooting innocent people in Paris and then blew themselves out? Not important, no need to know? But let me explain a little, without supporting them of course. You see, these people lived in countries in the Middle East and Africa, maybe in Syria, Iraq, Libya or some of those countries that the civilized people are conducting civilized wars. The civilized people did not kill people in sports stadium or in concert hall. These countries are at war and there were no concerts or football matches to watch. But many of them, and their relatives, were killed staying at home, having dinners or just passing their time, not sure they got TV to watch. Hundreds of thousands of these people, not sure if they were innocent but very likely not as innocent as the 150 people killed in Paris, had been killed in the civilized wars in their countries.

Did anyone know that many hundreds of thousands of them, including women and children had been killed in civilized wars? I think no one knows as no one ever sent condolence to their leaders or condemned the civilized wars that killed them. No, they were not the deads in wars but collaterals of civilized wars.

What is a civilized war by the way? A civilized war, my guess, is a war conducted by paid soldiers carrying flags and wearing proper uniforms and with the blessing of their govts. And they not only carry automatic rifles and small bombs, they have tanks, warplanes, warships, very big guns and very big bombs to kill many, many people at one go, innocent or not innocent not so important. What is important is that the bombs are very smart and only killed the not innocent people. And the war is so civilized that they don’t used soldiers in some cases to fight the wars. They sent drones, cruise missiles with smart bombs, like playing computer games, absolutely civilized way of killing people. They don’t hear the cries of fear, of shock and pain and despair. They just pushed buttons to conduct civilized wars.

And when countries conduct civilized wars, they can kill by the thousands, tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, and it is ok. No one will condemn such killings, because the people were killed in a civilized war. And the best part, civilized wars are conducted in other people’s countries so the civilized people at home are very safe, like in Paris.

Is my explanation on civilized wars right? Or is there a different explanation, like wars conducted by the Americans and their allies are civilized wars and cannot be condemned. When the Japanese invaded Asia and South East Asia killing hundreds of millions, it must be civilized war also. Are the French also active participants in civilized wars? Who are fighting civilized wars? Only those who are fighting civilized wars have the right to condemn those who are fighting uncivilized wars because they are on high moral grounds.

I also condemn uncivilized wars like the one in Paris. I am on high moral grounds too. And the French have vowed to respond with appropriate force, and will continue their bombings in Syria and other Middle Eastern and African countries in their civilized wars, fighting on the side of the Americans and their allies.

PS. When one stirs the hornets nest and get stung by the hornets, please do not curse the hornets for being uncivilized.

Paris the new war zone

More than 140 declared dead and the number is growing. A series of terrorist attacks hit Paris, at a concert hall and a football stadium and the streets of Paris. Guns were fired, bombs exploded, people died.  The war in the Middle East has opened a new front, on the streets of Paris. The lesson, you can’t go shitting everywhere and think the shit would not come flying home.

The opening of borders all over Europe to accommodate the refugees running away from their war torn countries is a good thing on humanitarian ground. It is very heart wrenching to see grown men and women with children in tow and in desperation for a place where they can seek peace and safety, perhaps settling down to live life all over again, to get their children to school, to get a shelter over their heads and a job to feed the family.

But the problems the refugees are fleeing from would not leave them. The problems of war, ethnic strife, religious hate and what else, would find a new fertile ground in Europe to ferment and fester. The Americans and their western allies may think it is a good idea to stir enough shit and hate in the Middle East, to keep these countries in a constant state of war, to ferment animosities and to benefit from the pains and sufferings of these people, and the best part, their homes in the USA and Europe are free, peaceful and safe for themselves and their children. Such simplistic viewpoints, that wars could be isolated in this interconnected global community are simply foolish. The wars you stoked and created will come home to roost.

What is happening in Paris is only the beginning of a long and protracted state of terrorist warfare that would spread across the rest of Europe, London, Berlin, Copenhagen, Rome, Madrid, the list can go on, will not be left alone. Starting wars and fanning hatred are easy. Stopping them and preventing them from spreading are not that easy. And Europe would not be alone, the USA and even Asia, South East Asia, the Australia will not be spared.

A state of emergency has been declared in France.

Would Singapore be so lucky?

Similarities between how Singapore deals with unemployment and how Indonesia deals with the haze problem

We have seen how the haze problem is being tackled by the Indonesians. They are making a big show of fighting the fire that set off the haze. Large resources were applied to fight fires with really little effect on the haze and to relieve the people from being affected by the haze. It is like we are doing something, a lot, to help but not really helping.

The real solution is to prevent the fire starters from lighting up. If no one is allowed to light up, there will be no fire and no haze. There will be no necessity to frantically trying to put out the fire. Tackle the source of the problem, not the symptom the problem. This is very similar to stopping people from smoking and getting cancer. If you don’t stop the sale of cigarettes, you are not solving the problem but dealing with the symptom of the problem.

How are these examples similar to how Singapore tackles the unemployment problem of Singaporean? By now you should be quite clear in the similarities. Yes, we are also tackling the symptoms but not the causes of the unemployment of Singaporeans, our own children brought up in the best education system but unemployable. And every clown is crowing about how good are the ‘talents’ from funny universities with funny education systems. And they are sending an army of recruiters to recruit these funny graduates and flagged them as ‘talents’, better than our children that not only have no skill sets but daft.

And no turkeys would dare to breathe a word to dispute this silly myth. So, with their acceptance of this myth, it means that Singaporeans are really daft and unemployable and need help. And they set up agencies frantically trying to help unemployed Singaporeans to get a job.  More skills training and skills upgrading needed, making Singaporeans not only wasting time and money for such courses but looking silly and stupid.

But funny foreigners from funny village universities got all the skill sets and no need any skill upgrading. And if Singaporeans cannot get a job here, they will help Singaporeans to work in 3^rd World countries to earn cheap currencies.  They could not see the causes of Singaporean unemployment in their home country!  They did not even know that they have been duped by 3^rd World confidence tricksters and snake oil sellers and made a fool in broad daylight, telling them Singaporeans are useless. And the useless Singaporeans built this great city for these tricksters and snake oil sellers to take over when they could not build their own.

What is the real cause of Singaporean unemployment? No, it is not the education system. If it is due to the failure of the education system, then the last few education ministers must be sacked, including everyone in MOE.

Still unclear what is the cause of Singaporean unemployment? It is treachery! It is cheating our own 

children of their jobs by allowing fake foreigners to be employed in their places.

With a stroke of the pen from MOM, we would have solved the unemployment and unemployable Singaporean problem. But no, they still want to believe the foreign snake oil sellers and cheats that Singaporeans are no good and foreigners are best. And these foreigners are still filling the local companies with more fakes and cheats.

PS. According to the Global Employability University Ranking, a joint effort by French and German organizations, NUS graduates rank 17^th among the most employable in the world! What is this? Aren’t our graduates unemployable in Singapore, lack of skills, good for part time employment or as temp staff?

Money laundering the most lucrative business

The big American and European banks are making really big money in money laundering and fraudulent banking practices or selling questionable derivatives and products.  Money laundering seems to be the most profitable business for many banks. And they have been fined handsomely by the US Federal Courts to the tune of billions. The total came to US$150b by some 10 big banks, including BoA, Citi, JP Morgan, Wells Fargo, BNP, Deutsche, Credit Suisse, UBS, Barclay and HSBC to name a few.

These banks are willing to pay the fines happily, for good reasons, as none of their CEOs were found guilty or made accountable for the offences. The banks continue to run as per normal, and so were the employments of the CEOs, all sitting tight and happily as if nothing had happened. With such latitude, would they be back to their monkey businesses again? There don’t seem to be any accountability or responsibility. It is business as usual and the banks are going to continue to make more monies laundering more money and selling fraudulent derivative products.

Actually the biggest winner of all the bank fraud is none other than the US Govt. They pocketed US$150 billion practically doing nothing, and doing something very legal. How many businesses can make this kind of profit with nearly zero cost? Is there a conspiracy between the Federal Court/US Govt and the big banks, with the banks allowed to do what is profitable but illegal but willing to pay the fines and the courts to enrich the US Govt’s coffer, like I scratch your back you scratch mine?

Who are the big gainers and who are the big losers in this game of money laundering? What a great game to play!

When the axe falls in the banking industry

Stanchart, Deutche, HSBC and who else will be next to start downsizing in the banking industry facing hard times when the fictitious fraudulent products and practices are driving the banks to their knees? How many bankers and supporting staff in the industry will face the axe?

There is this belief that Singapore or Singaporeans will be well protected when there is an economic crisis and when businesses start to retrench and downsize.  The big foreign workforce in the city state would be the buffer that would be the first to be trimmed and thereby protecting Singaporeans from losing their jobs. The losing of jobs by Singaporeans is a nightmarish experience when everyone is heavily in debt, big housing mortgages up to their necks. Losing their jobs mean losing their income and ability to service the mortgages and thus their expensive homes.

The retrenchment exercise by the few banks affected should give an idea on how well the Singaporeans will be protected from such trimming exercises. The fact that there is no data to show how many Singaporeans are affected versus the foreigners in these banks is telling. When they can’t tell, refuses to tell, afraid to tell, it says something is not right or not pleasant for the Singaporeans. Why are the banks not willing to be transparent in their retrenchment policies? Are they retrenching the Singaporeans or are they retrenching the foreigners? If they are retrenching the Singaporeans more than the foreigners, would the govt have a say or would the govt want to have a say in this?

What would happen if the organizations retrenching staff are local companies or govt linked companies that employed a lot of foreigners? Would they be thinking of saving the jobs of Singaporeans or would they, like the many monkeys be saying, it will be based on meritocracy regardless of nationalities? So if the foreigners are more ‘meritocratic’, not sure what that word means, then it is ok to dismiss the Singaporeans first?

So far there is an uncomfortable silence in the air? The govt, MOM and the NTUC have not said anything about how the retrenchment of employees should be conducted, that the jobs of Singaporeans should be protected first. Would this be the case or would they come out in defence of meritocracy even in GLCs regardless of nationalities?

What do you think?  Is there a govt policy on this grave issue?

I pray that not many Singaporeans would be affected by such retrenchment as it would mean hardship for the families. Without an income in this most expensive city state in the world, my god, losing a job is not a simple matter when finding one can take several months or years unlike the lucky and ‘talented’ foreigners who could simply take a vacation here and ended up with a job in no time. For Singaporeans, getting a job, or even getting an interview is so difficult.

I hope everyone can join me to pray that Singaporeans would not lose their jobs first when the axe falls.
