John Bolton & the Hawks May Yet Scuttle The Hope for Peace In Korea And East Asia

The senior staffs of the American and DPRK administrations will soon meet to talk and negotiate details such as terms and conditions for the denuclearisation of Korea. However, with the inclusion of John Bolton a well known rogue and warmonger in Trump's team of negotiators it doesn't look promising .

John Bolton is a staunch member of the extremely hawkish Jewish American Neo-Conservatives. He is also a member of the powerful and militant Jewish Anglo-Saxon Zionist Rothchilds Illuminati Organization which since its foundation over a hundred years ago has consistently adopted the doctrine of creating and conducting permanent wars throughout the world as a means to acquire wealth, riches, power and hegemony over everybody and every country on earth.

John Bolton has a horrible revolting ugly insidious satanic animistic facial look which lends credence to our suspicion and insight into his innermost evil mind and thought that he will surely work his way to sabotage and scuttle the success of the negotiations. Thus the prospect for peace and harmony in Korea and the Far East inclusive of East China Sea and South China Sea regions looks bleak if not impossible with the inclusion of John Bolton and a few of his similar hawkish warlike American negotiators.

Hopefully Trump is not part of the act and it is difficult to conclude as he is a sort of an enigma wrapped in a puzzle.

Malaysian work ethics to be like Japan

The statestimesreview posted this:
 
Speaking at the media conference in Tokyo on Sunday (Jun 10), Malaysia Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad said that he will lead Malaysia’s transformation to be like Japan. Calling for Malaysians to adopt Japanese working ethics, the newly-elected Prime Minister said Malaysia need to adopt a similar value system to produce quality work:

“It’s about acquiring also the Japanese work ethics, the Japanese sense of shame whenever they fail to deliver what they have promised to deliver… When I first came to Japan in 1961 – a country destroyed by war – I watched the Japanese people work and work very hard to rebuild their country, and sure enough the result was that Japan very quickly became one of the biggest economies in the world. From a defeated country, a destroyed country, Japan was able to rebuild itself at a fast rate and effectively. I found that why the Japanese succeeded in rebuilding their country was due to their work ethics, their value system. If you have the wrong way of working, if you are not hardworking and you don’t take pride in your work, you will fail. Japanese took pride in making high quality products that were able to compete successfully with those produced by other countries. But in Malaysia we don’t have this value system, we don’t feel ashamed if we come up with sloppy products which are of poor quality … whether what you do is good or not does not seem to matter.”

Mahathir should ask himself, how could Malaysia be like Japan, how could the work ethics be changed when success comes so easy. Just demand for a 30% share of anything, from ownership to profits without having to work or to contribute anything of value? Where is the motivation to work when all it needs to do is ask, demand and will be given?
 
The Malaysians that have work ethics similar to the Japanese have left or are in Singapore. A whole new generation of bumiputra Malaysians has been brought up with an entitlement mentality started by Mahathir himself. How is Mahathir going to remove this and make Malaysia a competitive society based on merit, hard work and contribution, not based on race? To do so he would need to go back to year zero, the year he became PM of Malaysia. Mahathir needs to erase everything from his old drawing board and start anew. 

Would those who have had it so good, without having to work, allow this to happen? Where is the incentive to work when there is no need to work to become millionaires and billionaires?

Trump Kim Summit - The day after

Trump-Kim summit sets new 'error' in Singapore's history

This headline appeared in an article in Yahoo News by Nicholas Yong.  Both pictures are from Yahoo News. Hopefully after spending $20m on this Summit, the Americans would now know that Singapore is not  a part of Malaysia.  Vivian needs to explain this to the State Dept officers in his next trip to the US. Obviously he did not tell them that Singapore is an independent city state during his trip to the US last week in preparation for the Summit.

Thankfully they did not write Singapore, China.

And hopefully the Brits, our ex colonial masters, would now know that Sentosa is a smaller island south of Singapore main island and not another name for Singapore. And they should not gasak buta in pasting the names of Shangri La Hotel and St Regis Hotel in Sentosa Island without bothering to check their accuracy. The work ethics of the Brits have degenerated so badly that no one would believe they once owned an empire.

What is happening now is that the armchair critics are out in full force trying to rubbish the meeting and the agreement signed, that there is a lack of details. In a Summit like this when so many things are involved, when nuclear weapons and facilities are involved, they expect all these to be in the document signed. Do they know how complex are the issues and processes of denuclearisation? Is it a one way denuclearisation or the Americans also have to remove all their nuclear weapons from the Korean Peninsula?

Another silly comment from the critics is that they don't trust the North Koreans, claiming that they have torn away agreements before. Do they know the reasons why the North Koreans were so frustrated that they had to do so? Did they hear what Iran's advice to the North Koreans, 'Do not trust the Americans'?

The silly critics are taking a position that only the North Koreans walked away from agreements and the Americans are honourable and always honoured their agreements. Where did they come from, Mars? Did they read the papers and know that the Americans have been doing exactly what they are accusing the North Koreans of? Paris Climate Change Agreement rings a bell? TPP rings a bell? Nafta and G7 agreements or disagreements ring a bell? 

Have they watched any of the Hollywood production of cowboys killing Red Indians and Red Indians saying white men spoke with fork tongues? And many of these silly critics are Asians who speak and think as if they are white men. I can expect the white men to be wearing coloured lenses and not wanting to see their own faults and flaws and not wanting to admit them, but silly Asians, bananas are doing the same thing.

No wonder Asians would always be ruled by the white men. It is in their blood that white men are superior, like white gods. Ang moh tua kee.

Kim Trump Summit – Love at first sight

In the idyllic setting of a tropical island, with the sun shining brightly, Kim and Trump finally met, like two star crossed lovers. Trump was bowed over by the sincerity of this young leader from North Korea and it was like the proverbial love at first sight. One could easily notice the comfort level of Trump and his liking for Kim. What enemies? They were like long lost brothers coming together for the first time after years of separation.
 
Kim was scheduled to fly home by 2pm local time after lunch. When the two took a casual stroll in the courtyard of the colonial building of Capella Hotel, beaming after lunch, it was clearly too late to make a dash for the airport. They were in no hurry. Their expressions and body language said it all, that all was fine and both were happy of the outcome. The leisure stroll was the short break while officials hurried behind closed doors to put in the final details for a historic document to be signed by the President of the USA and the Chairman of North Korea. Trump even showed Kim the interior of his bullet proof limousine.
 
When the moment came, there was jubilation all around. Everyone was pleased with the two leaders signing a comprehensive agreement, hope the terms were not as stupid and ridiculous as the CECA signed between Singapore and India. Knowing how serious is this document and how nationalistic are the two signatories, both must be sure that they were signing an agreement that is favourable to their respective national interests.
 
The positive vibration spreaded immediately across the world and the Koreans, both North and South, must be the happiest people to share this moment of truth. Moon Jae In and his cabinet were reported to rise in applause at the signing of the document. The biggest winners of this historic event must be the people of the two Koreas. There is peace in sight and possibly a reunification in the not too distant future. Many past issues and hostilities would be history as Kim vowed to start on a clean slate, no more historical baggages.
The cynics, and as Trump put it, the ‘haters and losers’ would be sulking. The spoilers would be cursing and swearing that this agreement was made possible and signed by Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un.
 
History is in the making and the likelihood of a Trump visit to Pyongyang and a similar visit by Kim to Washington are on the card. Trump was in good spirit, forgetting the dreaded meetings he had a couple of days ago with the G7 in Canada. He had good words for Kim, and every comment coming from him was positive, fantastic, better than expected.
 
Who would believe that this could be possible when a few weeks ago both were hurling insults and threats against each other? A face to face meeting and personal contact changed everything. Both men have built up a rapport and liking for each other that was spontaneous.
 
Yes it happened in the Capella, in Sentosa, in Singapore. This is a beautiful story with a beautiful ending. With Trump in charge, everything is unpredictable and possible. Trump and Kim were too happy men. Trump had never been so happy since he last won his election to be the President of the USA.

Singapore sinking deeper into the Villain’s Hole

Singapore pats its own back for hosting the premier Show of the Hustler and the Kid in Sentosa and with pride telling the world that it is a friend to everyone and is neutral in the game of geopolitics. How far is this from the truth?
 
It does not take much for Singapore to lose its head and compromises itself willingly with a little flattery. Singapore seems oblivious to its role in antagonizing China in the South China Sea last year and in a way has resumed this role all over again. The evil American Empire has been provoking, agitating and challenging China at its door step. It has recruited two more diehard ex colonial powers to do its bidding to beat war drums in China’s courtyard by sailing their warships in the South China Sea claiming innocent passage and freedom of navigation.
 
Why is Singapore implicated in these acts of hostility and international gangsterism? Dunno? Sure, when one is intoxicated by a little flattery of self importance, one would forget what one is doing, even conniving with the gangsters to irritate and provoke their enemy, not Singapore’s enemy, and ended making one also an enemy of the targeted country.
 
The evil Americans have been launching their provocative actions in the South China Sea from their base in Singapore. Now would this make Singapore an accomplice to their hostile acts? The French and the British Navy also made use of the base in Singapore as stopovers, for refueling, resupply, servicing and R&R for their crews while on the way to provoke and challenge China in the South China Sea. Now, would the convenience provided by Singapore make Singapore a willing partner and a gang member in this game of hostility towards China?
 
What do you think? Does Singapore know that the Americans, Brits and the French were using Singapore as a base for their gangsterism and in challenging China’s sovereignity? Ignorance is no excuse, this is no kid’s stuff. Is Singapore comfortable with being a part of this western gangsterism and aggression against China? How long would it take for Singapore to wake up to know what it is doing, willingly or unwillingly that is hostile to China’s core interest?

Peace in Korea-Far East Far From Certain.

Peace in Korea - Far East is far from certain. It all depends on the whims of the Evil Empire. It is too early and too naive to call Trump's meeting with Kim Jun Un as a "Mission of Peace" . We don't really know the Evil Empire's hidden agenda. From the American historical perspectives it is not very encouraging for no American president and no American government can ever be trusted. This we learn from the native American Indians who like to warn us that 'white men speak with fork tongues',  the Mexicans , the South Americans and the Hawaiians who always have had raw deals from US inspite of peace talks and signing of peace treaties as well as American very hawkish and aggressive behaviour since the end of the Second World War in 1945.

Wrapping up the Korean ordeal is a temporary expedient for the Americans who may be preparing for a darker scenario  on the horizon. The Evil Empire wild talk at the recent Shangrila Dialogue of stepping up provocative actions in the South China Sea and of taking out Chinese defensive facilities in Chinese own sovereign territories are war drums loud and clear and do not bode well for Asia and the Far East and for the whole world.

Are the Americans trying to achieve a temporary respite of peace in Korea in order to create a larger and more vicious conflict in the South China Sea and East China Sea periphery. US defence secretary Matthis said on 2nd June, 2018 at the Shangrila Dialogue " The issue of US withdrawing its troops from South Korea is not on the table." and " US will intensify more actions in the South China Sea." Then its commander of the Pacific 7th Fleet threatened to take out Chinese defence facilities in Chinese sovereign islands. Of course China is prepared to complement whatever actions the Evil Empire may take.

The whole idea of denuclearisation of Korea is to achieve genuine everlasting peace in Korea and the Far East inclusive of South East Asia and the South China Sea region. However if US continues to maintain troops and military bases in South Korea, Japan, Guam, the Marshall Islands, the Philippines and Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean inspite of denuclearisation of Norfth Korea and the signing of a peace treaty officially ending the Korean War then there is a breach of trust and thus arousing a suspicion of US hidden agenda of wanting to create hot spots in other parts of the Far East namely the South China Sea and East China Sea. Thus in so far as US continues its provocative actions and words it will lend credence to the suspicion.

China has every right to build defensive installation in her own territories. Any objection by US and its allies is just outrageous interference in China's internal affairs. Instead US should close down and dismantle all its worldwide military bases to show its sincerity in wanting world peace and not for threatening others with aggression and world hegemony.

Now showing – The Hustler and the Kid

The Hustler and the Kid is being premier at The Capella in Sentosa to a world audience. This is a one day only premier and either you are here or you will miss it completely. The reporters of the world have descended onto this island city to give it an international coverage that would rival any Hollywood movie ever screened.
 
The Hustler as he is has been talking non stop about how he is going to hustle the Kid. He has threatened the Kid with more sanctions and even to walk out after one minute in the show if he is not happy with the Kid. And the Hustler is being assisted by the Devil. The Devil is everywhere, flirting from Tokyo to Washington like a daily affair. And the Devil appears to have his own agenda, wanting to have a say in the Show and wanting to have an outcome of his own. The Devil thinks the Hustler does not have a mind of his own and wanting his will to superimpose on the Hustler. Would the Hustler do the bidding of the Devil?
 
The Kid has been smiling all the while. He is in a world of his own as if without a care. And he is accompanied by his charming kid sister to make sure all the pieces are in place. Other than saying he will agree to the demands of the Hustler, the Kid is not showing any of his cards. For the moment the Hustler thinks he is calling the shot and the Kid has no cards to play.
 
The host as usual will play his role as a gracious host, serving coffee/tea and tarts to make sure both the Hustler and the Kid are comfortable in their own corners. High stakes are involved and the highest security regiments are in placed to allow the Hustler and the Kid to be at their very best in this game of intrigue.
What will be the outcome of this showdown between an unpredictable Hustler popularly known as the Dotard and an unknown Kid aka The Rocket Man? The Show will be on 12 Jun and everything will be over by lunch time with the Hustler and the Kid leaving town and going separate ways.
 
Would there be a happy ending or mores suspense with a second episode in the near future?

The North Korea that the western media would not tell you

This is a picture posted by Vivian Balakrishnan in his facebook. It is no different from the buildings in a developed and well organised country. It is definitely not a third world developing country with slums and poverty everywhere. It is not the often repeated abject poverty country that the western media want the world to believe, deceiving the world to believe. This is a picture of North Korea that you would not see or reported by the western media. The western media would showed you some corners of the countryside or some ancient photos of an impoverished North Korea after the days of carpet bombing and destruction by the evil American Empire. The Americans and the western media have been lying to the world and to all their readers of a North Korea suffering from abject poverty and famine and hungry people dying on the streets.

Vivian would not lie and this is a recent photo taken a few days ago during his visit to North Korea. The buildings cannot be built overnight nor are they a mirage or fabricated from Lego bricks. Listen to what Vivian has to say as reported in Channel News Asia.

"

In Pyongyang, he witnessed a clean and beautiful city with ongoing construction for modern commercial and residential buildings. He also saw an eye hospital with the latest medical equipment, he told reporters.
“To be frank with you, I come back very impressed,” Dr Balakrishnan said to Singapore media on Saturday in Beijing, where he made a brief stopover after flying from Pyongyang in the morning.

“Frankly, my views have also altered based on what I saw, heard, and (after I had) spoken to people,” he said, sharing his reflections on North Korea. “Clearly, the government has been hard at work all these decades to upgrade their infrastructure."

It is understandable that his views are changing as he was also being fed with the image of a North Korea provided by the western media that have not set foot on North Korea and with a sinister plot to paint North Korea in the worse possible. Until today you will hear many silly western supposedly scholars still chirping North Korea is suffering from extreme poverty, famine and hardship and hungry people.

“Despite these maximal sanctions, what you have is a society that has continued to invest itself and continuously trying to upgrade people and their skills and the services they provide to their citizens,” Dr Balakrishnan said. “Now, can you imagine if peace finally comes, and North Korea is allowed to open up to the world and gain access to technology, capability, skills and markets."

“I think the sky is the limit for their people," he added.

I hope the unthinking and those that swear by the western media that North Koreans are dying on the streets would open their eyes, remove the blinkers and see the new reality. If you look at the above picture, it would put many Asian and Southeast Asian countries to shame.

Unfortunately the silly bananas would not believe anything contrary to their programmed mind and would continue to insist that Vivian is lying or being shown a false picture of North Korea. What to do, there are people that simply would want to live in the world of make belief created by the western media.

The gangsters descended from the mountains

After several decades of living off the people by their bullying threats and instilling fear in the people, the gangsters have grown very rich, and very fat, with all the money to enjoy all the good things in life. They have been splashing their ill gotten wealth to benefit themselves and their fellow gangsters and runners. Some even went on gambling spree around the world, visiting all the casinos and hoping to make quick bucks to make themselves richer.

For  a long time, they have been telling lies to the people that all is well while all the time robbing the people of their wealth. They demanded a big share of the people's income as protection money, demanded a share of their properties or else they would come down from the mountain to take more. The sheeple, oops, people, acquiesce and give the gangsters what they want to make them happy, civil and rich. And the gangsters continue to live in their high mountain resorts, with all the land and space and free mountain air. Occasionally they would walk with the people acting like their overlords, as respectable and rich gentry but really wolves in sheepskin.

Lately there is a change in the air. The gangsters seemed to be a bit confuses but still behaving like gangsters. They are demanding more from the people. Crossing the bridges would have to pay higher toll fees. Using the water from the mountain streams also got to pay more. Everything has to pay more. Perhaps the gangsters want to live better, greed is unsatiable and has no limits. Perhaps they have squandered all the money stolen from the people. Perhaps they have lost a lot of money in the casinos. They look quite desperate for money.

There is also a change in style. They are willing to descend from the high mountain to talk to the people. They want to know how the people feel about them, about what they are doing. They are showing that they are really caring and protecting the people.

But they forgot that in all aspects they are still the gangsters. They forgot that they have robbed the people of their wealth, telling the people that if they don't give them some wealth, they would resort to robbing. They forgot that they have been steling the wealth of the people and continuing to steal from the people everyday with increasing amount.

They want to hear from the people that they are still doing well, and well like by the people, that the people still trust them and that their heavy handed approach to demand more protection money is going down well with the people. They want to know that the people are happy with all the new demands for more money.

The people are trembling in fear. Not giving more to the gangsters is not an option. Telling the gangsters their grievances is also not an option as the gangsters would not listen. The only hope for the people is to talk to the gods and hoping that lightning would strike at the gangsters. In the meantime the people just pretend that everything is fine, and put on a smiling face.

The fear of the gangster is in the air. The empty promises of the gangsters are still in the air.

The gangsters would not see the wrongs and harm they have done to the people that they have robbed and beaten into fearing them, becoming hapless sheep. Gangsters will always be gangsters.

Malaysia, an excellent case study of a fatuous leader

Malaysia makes an excellent case study of a fatuous leader and a corrupt govt for all to see and to study. It is a living example of history being made in real time and all history buff and living beans should treasure this privilege to live, read and bear witness to it. This is a rare event that a fatuous leader and a corrupt govt were brought down at its peak in the abuse of power and corruption. This is not a historical event compiled by historians after every was over. It is fresh from the oven and still unfolding.

A few months before the event, a few weeks and a few days before the downfall, none of them see it coming and were intoxicating themselves with all the power, attention and stuffing money into their pockets. The wife was spending the easy money like no tomorrow and no need to account for it. Neither would they know that fortune would turn overnight and they could become criminals and being prosecuted and the likelihood that all the ill gotten gains would be taken away from them. Never would the cronies, eunuchs and fellow thieves believe that they were doing anything wrong. And the beast that was the hatchet man has gone into hiding, running away from the very law that used to protect him while he abused the law of the corrupt govt. threaten to kill the innocent.

All the years, the fatuous leader thought he was brilliant, clever and untouchable, without a clue that he was a walking idiot. And his fellow thieves did not think they were stealing the people's money and enriching themselves undeservingly. They thought they had all the power to protect themselves and their wrongdoings, their abuses of power and the stealing of the nation's and public wealth.

A good example of how silly the situation was is best described by Lim Kit Siang in an article in Yahoo News.

" “But as Khairy has now admitted, there was not even a bleat from anyone of the 730-odd Umno/BN candidates about the evil and monstrosity of the 1MDB scandal.

“Najib believed that he could get away from full accounting for the 1MDB scandal in the 14th general election, by obfuscating and virtually censoring detailed examination and debate of what the US Attorney-General Jeff Sessions had described as ‘kleptocracy at its worst’,” Lim said in a statement.

Umno leaders had staunchly defended former president Datuk Seri Najib Razak over the corruption scandal, including repeatedly backing his assertion that a RM2.6 billion deposit in his personal account was a “donation” from an unnamed Arab royal."

Notice the word, they don't even bleat a word and staunchly defended the fatuous leader over corruption scandals? And they all looked so innocent by looking the other way.  No corruption. And the fatuous leader believed he could get away from full accounting by...obfuscating and virtually censoring examination and debate.

Now they are jumping ship. They knew that they were doing all the wrong things but pretended nothing of the sort for as long as they could hang on to power. When the power was taken from them, they could see their nakedness and there was nothing to hide anymore. They knew it is game over.

We all live to see how it happened and how it is going to end.

Trump Kim Summit – Hope for a nuclear free Asia

I mentioned this hope from a comment I heard over Channel News Angmoh. So please spare me the eggs for saying something so stupid. But for angmohs and angmohs to, ie bananas, this is a very correct and serious aspiration. When North Korea denuclearized, Asia will be free of nuclear weapons. I know, some of you will be screaming ‘stupidity has no cure’ before finished reading my first sentence.
 
For the angmohs and angmohs to be, only North Korea has nuclear weapons. They are blind to see that many angmoh countries have nuclear weapons. They did not know that Japan has nuclear weapons. They did not know that the Americans are flooding Asia with nuclear weapons in their colonies like Japan and South Korea and little USAs when their nuclear subs, nuclear armed gunboats and aircraft carriers parked in their docks. They did not want to know that the Americans have hundreds of nuclear weapons in Diego Garcia, in Guam and many of their more than 1,000 military bases all over the world, including Asia.
 
How would the denuclearization of North Korea make Asia nuclear free? Please don’t ask me, this is just the stupid’s way of looking at their deluded reality. And the whole Trump Kim Summit is about denuclearization, but no one bothers to ask the Americans to denuclearize. And the Americans are going to build more sophisticated and deadly nuclear weapons to add on to their hoards of nuclear weapons. Wait a minute, why no one thinks it is important to ask the Americans to denuclearize as well? Why must North Korea denuclearized and not the Americans or other western countries to denuclearize?
 
Why is it that the world would be a safer place when North Korea denuclearized while the evil Empire and other western nuclear powers, including Israel and Japan continue to possess many more nuclear weapons than North Korea? Is there anything wrong with this warp view that only the North Korea must denuclearize for the world to be safe from nuclear weapons and wars?
 
Which country has been threatening to use its nuclear weapons on other countries? Is it not that this country is the most dangerous, even threatening to nuke North Korea first while North Korea is saying that it would only use its nuclear weapons to defend itself from being nuked by this hostile and belligerent country?
 
What is this madness all about? It is about stupidity, about Asian stupidity. I can’t blame the westerners from having this one sided view that it is all right for them to possess all the nuclear weapons and Asians cannot do so. It is in their interest and their way to control and dominate the world. But for silly Asians to have the same view is preposterous. How stupid can Asians be to be singing the same chorus made up by the western powers? And the best part, they did not know what they are saying or why this is not wrong. To them this is the natural order of things, that the West should have all the nuclear weapons and to rule the world, including ruling the Asians.
 
This is the same as the American hype about China militarizing their little islands in the South China Sea. For the few batteries of anti aircraft and anti ship missiles, the Americans are painting a picture that this is a threat to the world. Does any of the idiots ever asked how many nuclear tipped missiles the Americans have stored in the silos in Diego Garcia and Guam islands, in Okinawa and other American naval bases in the western Pacific Ocean?
 
Why no one is jumping up and down when the Americans are militarizing the whole world, the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean? An American aircraft carrier would have hundreds of times of weapons more than all the weapons in the Chinese islands in South China Sea. When the Americans sail these highly armed floating islands in South China Sea, filled with nuclear weapons, no one is complaining about militarization. Even a destroyer or frigate would have as much destructive power as the weapons in the Chinese islands. But no one is making any noise about the Americans militarizing the South China Sea, not the stupid Asians, not the angmohs to be. The Americans can militarise anywhere, everywhere, it is acceptable, the norm. They strut around with nuclear weapons hanging on their necks threatening everyone to accept them as the hegemon.
Can there be a nuclear free Asia or a nuclear free world?
 
Stupidity has no cure.

White European Americans continuing killing spree of Native Americans and non-whites

This article is a follow up to Redbean's article yesterday, 06-06-2018. asking Pompeo to declare how many native American Indians and African Americans have white European invaders killed in the last few hundred years.

PART     ONE

The European Americans continuous killings and murders of non-white people have been going on for the last four or five hundred years. They have exterminated about 85 million native Americans , followed by killings of African Americans, the Mexicans and the mass lynching and killing of Chinese Americans. Now they are starting wars everywhere killing by the millions in Middle-East, Africa, Asia and South America.

When Christopher Columbus, the European pirate chief and representative of of the Spanish crown and Catholic faith first set foot in the new world on 12th October, 1492, it was viewed as the beginning of the long road of persecution and genocide of native American. Every year on this day of 12th October, native American Indians all over the Americas will hold a symbolic trial of Christopher Columbus that will end with the symbolic execution of his effigy for crimes committed during the conquest of America. He faced multiple charges such as genocide and slave trafficking as well as robbery and plunder. Throughout the Americas the native Indians view his arrival in 1492 as the start of five centuries of oppression and suppression by white men.Earlier in September 2016 , I had in Redbeanforum - Global Affairs described in some details in four parts , Part 1 to Part 4 , about how the Christian Europeans systematically planned their massacre and extermination of the natives from 1603 to 1960s on the premise that the natives are savages who do not deserve the rich and resourceful lands which their Christian God had meant for white men.         

Below are some random brief descriptions of  the tragedies and sufferings of native American Indians and others at the merciless and satanic hands of the European marauders.

The natives were used as slaves by both the British and the French invaders.Subsequently when the British and the French were indulged in the fight and struggle for supremacy to control North America they recruited the natives to fight in their colonial wars. The natives were sacrificed as gun fodder by the British and the French and they died in their thousands.

After its independence in 1975 , US began to harass the native self-governing Indian states by forcing them to move to the West. This force removal in 1828 known as the 'The Trail of Tears'  was carried out by President Andrew Jackson, one of America's most cruel anti-non-white presidents. In 1838 about 20,000 Cherokee tribes in the southern states were forced to walk to barren desert lands earmarked as Indian Reserve Territory in the west. They suffered great hardship under brutal conditions for they were not given any food or water . Over six thousand natives died in the forced march of the 'Trail of Tears.'

As more and more prime native lands were acquired by the whites for cotton growing - a cash crop at the time more tribes were uprooted and forcibly removed to the west Some of the Indian tribes removed were the Cherokees, Choctaws, Chicasaws, Creeks,and Seminoles. Any resistance aqainst removal was brutally put down. A Cherokee tribal chief, John Ross was murdered. The Choctaws were forced to move in1831. The Creeks were removed westward in 1837. The Seminoles of Florida were removed from Florida in 1857. All were moved to the west in what is now the present state of Oklahoma.

In 1834 the natives suffered further deprivation. Under the Indian Reorganization Act the whites exercised even more rigid and inhuman control over Indian Tribal Affairs. In 1887 under the Dawes Act Indian children were forcibly removed from their parents . Almost all the children were intentionally starved to death. ( This horrible practice was similarly carried out by the whites in Australia against the aborigines to decimate their population.) By end of 1900s more than two thirds of Indian lands were taken away. The native Sioux tribes under their chief Big Foot who together with his warriors were having peace talks negotiating with US army officers. However without warning US troops suddenly fired endlessly into tribal camps killing Chief Sitting Bull and Big Foot together with about five or six hundred of their unarmed warriors, including men, women and children in the most gruesome and brutal massacre.

In 29th December, 1890, white men carried out one of the most brutal massacres of unarmed native civillians. The massacre took place at the Dakota Indian Reservations and was eventually known as "Massacre At Wounded Knee." 

From1900s to 1950s under the Relocation Act thousands of Indians were moved to cities on a one way traffic with no chance of going back to their tribal lands. In the cities the Indians were put in inhuman shabby quarters and were forced to work in  very low wage jobs. Eventually all the tribal lands were privatised and acquired by white men under only white ownership.

PART     Two

US Massacre of African Americans.

In 1816 President Andrew Jackson who was then an army general massacred hundreds of African American militia in his conquest of Florida.

The massacre of American negros were just as often and frequent as the massacre of native Americans. Suffice here to just mention a few of the most wanton killings and murders of African Americans.

The Fort Pillow Massacre.

On 12th April, 1864 white soldiers shot and killed hundreds of unarmed negro soldiers who fought for the Union.On 13th April, 1873 about one hundred or more of African Americans were shot in cold blood in a local court house in Colfax, Louisiana. Inj 1874 in New Orleans supreme court justice Joseph P. Bradley overturned rulings against three convictions of white massacre perpetrators and in silence gave full support to Ku Klux Klan to legalise murders of negros.In 1876 , Bradley's ruling was upheld by Federal supreme court.

The Rio Negro Massacres.

Between 1980 to 1982 more than 5000 negros were shot when they held a peaceful demonstration against the building of a Chixoy hydroelectric dam in their precints which was financed by Inter American Development Bank.

The Tulsa Massacre of thousands of negros.

During the Tulsa race riot from may 31st to 1st June, 1921, white mobs ran rampage killing tens of thousands of African Americans . Blacks houses were set on fire and more than 15,000 blacks were made homeless. 

The Tulsa massacre of blacks were omitted from local and state histories Neither the state government nor the Federal government compensated the negros for their losses in human lives and properties. During these Tulsa riots black men, women and children were brutally killed by murderous mobs of white civillians, local police and national guardsmen.

The only reason Tulsa blacks were killed was because they were very enterprising and successful  of being able to build a separate and prosperous independent community and because they dared to dream . 

Between 1824 and 1952 over 300 events were classified as "White Race Riots " in which white communities turned on and destroyed entire black communities.

Massacre of Chinese Americans in 1q871.

On October 24th 1871 , a mob of 500 white hooligans entered Los Angeles China Town and began to attack , rob and murder Chinese residents. Hundreds of Chinese were cornered and killed. The Chinese were systematically killed by the mob making China Town massacre the largest incident of mass lynching in American history.

None of the massacre perpetrators were convicted . 

The white American government owes the Chinese a debt of blood which has yet to be paid.

The mass removal of natives to the west and the mass killings , genocide and mass mob lynching of American natives, African Americans and Chinese Americans were either official state policy or state supported with white soldiers and police playing a major or leading part.

The oppression and suppression of non-whites is continuing right to this day of the 21st century. 

NB : I hope netizens will help to expose the evils that are inherent in white American and European countries by whenever possible copy, paste and forward  informative articles to friends and relatives all over the world so as to debunk their lies , fake and distorted news and information as well as toxic propaganda. This must be done because over 90 percent of the world's mass media is controlled and monopolised by US and its western allies and that includes the mass media in Singapore and South East Asia ASEAN countries.

Is Tuas mega port a white elephant?

The Tuas mega port is going to cause the govt several billion dollars and the govt is desperate for money, a very strange phenomenon if one is to believe that we have nearly one trillion dollars in reserves. Why would Khaw Boon Wan come out in public to announce that the govt has no money to pay for this port? What is a few billion dollars when you have nearly a trillion dollars stashed away? Quite puzzling indeed. Something fishy is going on.

The Tuas mega port is several times the size of the present port facilities and to build such a big port it means that the govt is anticipating at least a doubling in growth of shipping using the port. Otherwise it would indeed be a white elephant, building for the sake of building to boost up the GDP.

The big question, would there really be a big increase in shipping traffic or a big fall instead. Chinese shipping criss crossing Singapore makes up more than 80% of all shippings through the Straits of Malacca. If the Chinese diverted all their ships to Malacca or elsewhere, the ships calling at Tuas would go down by 80% from the present number. Even with the present capacity it would be over provided and our port would be a white elephant. If Tuas mega port is going to handle only 20% of existing shipping traffic, it would look like a ghost port, and indeed a white elephant.

This likelihood is a great possibility given the Chinese plan to be less dependent on Singapore port and the massive developments of Malacca, Gwadar and ports in Myanmar and the eventuality of a Kra Canal. The fate of Tuas mega port is hanging on a string given the present political equation.

Could Singapore turn the tide and preserve its preeminent position as the main port of call for Chinese shipping and prevent the ships from diverting to other ports? This is the tricky situation Singapore is in today, to build a mega port that could end up as a white elephant and wasting public funds in doing so.

The fate of Tuas mega port and Singapore as a thriving sea port depends on China's shipping policies which ultimately boils down to Singapore's strategic balance between China and the USA. China would want to have as many ports of call as possible to spread out its dependence on anyone port. It wants to have options. All the ports it is building are in countries that are very fickle minded and highly undependable. Malaysia has just made a volte face and threatening to derail everything the Chinese are building, including the Malacca port. This is the treacherous position of China when dealing with equality slippery leaders in the region. The cancellation of Malacca and the rail projects would mean Malaysia is no longer in the BRI and brings hope of Singapore becoming indispensable again.

Not really, as China may find the need to cut the Isthmus of Kra more urgent. What can Singapore do to regain its choice place in the Chinese equation? Ideally, it would be best for Singapore to do its balancing act well, with a real balance between China and the US with the Chinese feeling more secure, that the American threats to their interest in transiting the area within their control or not at the mercy of the Americans and a Singapore that is neutral to both.

A better option would be a more pro China policy, relatively to the US to enhance and encourage Chinese shipping here without having to spend huge funds to build up Malacca port or cutting the Kra Canal. Think about it, what can the Americans offer that China could not offer and who can offer more? The security aspect of American forces to protect Singapore's interest is something China is equally capable of doing today. And everything else the Americans could do or offer, China could offer more. The biggest consumer market in the world, a growing economy to rival the Americans, the factory of the world, the BRI and of course to channel its shipping to Tuas mega port. This last part the Americans could only do a fraction of what the Chinese could offer.

A more favourable foreign policy towards China would hook up Singapore to the world's biggest growth engine in the 21st Century versus a dying evil Empire. What is there to lose for redefining its foreign policies towards China?

There is hope that Tuas mega port would not be a white elephant if Singapore plays its cards right. And there is certain death if it does not change its one sided pro American or anti China policies. Start by clearing the swamp in the main media from publishing anti China and biased American views against China. Singapore still has an outside chance to save its position as a vital sea port of call for Chinese shipping. Remember, without the 80% of ships calling here, Singapore is dead duck.

How many native Red Indians have the European Americans massacred?

Pompeo got the cheek to ask China to disclose how many protestors were killed in the Tiananmen Square Incident. China must not be polite to these rude and mischievous hypocrites. China should reply with a few sets of embarrassing questions to these white rogues pretending to be angels. Wang Yi should raise them in the next meeting with the Americans, best in the White House or in the UN. Just do it one at a time.
 
The few questions that China should pointedly ask them are as follows:
1. How many native Red Indians have the European Americans massacred?
2. How many African natives have they enslaved?
3. How many African slaves have they lynched or murdered?
4. How many Hawaiians have they massacred when they took over the islands?
5. How many Pinoys have they massacred during their colonization of the islands?
6. How many Japanese have they killed when they nuked Hiroshima and Nagasaki?
7. How many more Japanese did they killed in the carpet bombing of Tokyo and other major Japanese cities?
8. How many North Koreans have they killed when they carpet bombed North Korea?
9. How many Vietnamese have they killed when they carpet bombed Vietnam and how many died or suffered from their chemical agents in Vietnam?
10. How many innocent Iraqis were killed in their invasion of Iraq and random bombing of the country?
11. Ask the Americans how many prisoners were tortured against the Geneva Convention and human rights in Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib concentration camps and how many died in their hands after being tortured.
 
I could go on and on. The crimes of the Americans against humanity can filled a library and still needing more space to write. For the time this would suffice. China should hold memorial anniversaries for the massacre of the native Red Indians and the freeing of the African slaves, and also anniversaries to mark the lynching of the African slaves and many more.
 
The people of the world must not forget the butchers of human civilizations.

HSR - An undiplomatic request through 'diplomatic' channel

"SINGAPORE: Singapore has requested that the Malaysian Government clarify its position on the Kuala Lumpur-Singapore high-speed rail (HSR) project, Minister for Transport Khaw Boon Wan said in a statement on Friday (Jun 1).

He said that Singapore made this request through "diplomatic channels" following media reports of Malaysia's decision to terminate the project. He also said that Singapore would exercise its rights to compensation if the project was terminated.

"We have informed the Malaysian Government that Singapore is continuing to incur costs on this project as it awaits Malaysia’s clarification, and that in the event Malaysia terminates the project, Singapore will study the implications and exercise our rights (including any right to compensation for expenses incurred) in accordance with the terms of the HSR bilateral agreement," said Mr Khaw."

The above is the request made by Singapore to Malaysia on their unilateral cancellation of the project, without consulting Singapore. It was a rather rude and undiplomatic way to cancel a major contract between two states, in the style of Donald Trump. Singapore is offended for sure. Not a whisper and just say no and that's it.

To be fair to Mahathir, he was not targeting, Singapore was not his main concern. His has to cancel the project because he was going after Najib. Singapore's reaction in the media, calling it through 'diplomatic channels' is as undiplomatic as the undiplomatic diplomats attacking China openly on the South China Sea island dispute with the Philippines only to back down when China slammed them real hard. 

The content in the media is as good as telling Mahathir to explain, and Singapore would not take his one sided decision as final, and would continue to work on the project and billed him should the project be finally cancelled. Is this diplomatic? How would Mahathir react to such a public spat?

Yes, this is going to become a public spat. And the last thing Singapore needs is another public cross border spat with Malaysia. Mahathir has shown his middle finger to the Americans as well as you know who. In this case, Mahathir see no one up and he may simply throw the project file into a corner of his room for the next two years without looking at it. What can Singapore do about it? Go to the ICJ and start another international litigation process?

If Singapore treasures its good relations with Malaysia, it is best to deal with this case between the ministries, and not under the spotlight. What good is it to Singapore to show that it has balls and standing up to Malaysia and Mahathir? Do not be surprise that Singapore may come out and say, for good relations between the two states, Singapore would waive all compensation for the work done on the project and say it would renegotiate with the future govt when things are favourable.

But fighting cocks are fighting cocks and cannot resist a fight. Another show is brewing. Just wait for Mahathir to open his mouth on this. Rubbing up Mahathir the wrong way is not helpful at this point in time. Lim Guan Eng has diplomatically said that the project may be revived in the future. But to demand Mahathir to explain in the media and telling him Singapore would not take no for an answer without explanation is totally unnecessary and provocative.

And this was what Lim Eng Guan advised Singapore, diplomatically.

"Let him (Mahathir) move at his own pace," added Mr Lim. "I'm sure I'll get the necessary directions when it's ready. You don't pressure the Malaysian prime minister."

Mr Lim said that Malaysia "understand(s) the sensitivity ... that the cancellation of these projects has cost to neighbouring countries".  CNA

US View of Status Quo in South China Sea Is Outrageous And ASEAN's View Selfish And Ignorant

I refer to the Shangrila Dialogue on Sunday, 3rd of June, 2018  with reference to a misguided statement about preserving the status quo in the South China Sea issue. What is the "Status Quo" they are talking? As a paradox I will tell a story . A few of Mr. X bad neighbours had entered his courtyard and stole some of his chickens. The  rogue leader in the village who had interest in the stolen goods then told Mr X to accept the fait accompli - the status quo in order to preserve peace in the village. It is the same when Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia and Brunei were goaded by the rogue state USA to steal many of the Chinese islands in the South China Sea in the early 1960s and 1970s when China had no credible navy to speak of to supervise and maintain security of Chinese sovereignty over the Chinese island territories in the South China Sea. Now China is strong and powerful enough to assert her legal and lawful rights in her former territories. China is not even chasing the robbers away from the Chinese islands they occupy. Instead China just reclaim some of the shoals and islets from the sea and build some defensive facilities to ensure China,s security in the South China Sea from further encroachment by the thieves and robbers and by the rogue Americans. If this is the status quo US or Mr Ng is speaking of it is totally unacceptable to China and all respectable and dignified Chinese wherever they may be.

The Evil Empire - USA and the misinformed ASEAN ministers and politicians must be clear and more specific when they talk about preserving the 'status quo' in the South China Sea.

Since ancient times China had founded the Paracel and Spratly islands as well as many more of the atols, shoals and islets in the South China Sea and these have been part of Chinese sovereign territories since time immemorial. Even when the British buccaneers encroached on China from the 1830s to 1950s and the French conquest of parts of Southern China and Indo-China in 1885 they never challenge Chinese sovereignty over these islands. These islands were occupied by the Japanese during the Second World War , 1937 to 1945.

After the Second World War , under the terms of Japanese surrender as imposed by the United Nations and witnessed and signed by all the big powers including US, Russia, UK, France, China and even Japan too , all the South China Sea islands inclusive of the Paracel and Spratly islands, the Scaborough Islands and the rest of the island archipelagos as well as the Diau Yudao or Senkaku as called by the Japanese  were lawfully and legally returned to China which was then nominally ruled by a pro-US decadent government of Chiang Kai Shek's Kuomingtang  - KMT  which was having a civil war with Chairman Mao's communist party from 1930s to 1949.

But when Chairman Mao's People Republic of China won the civil war and China came under the rule of  the Chinese communist party, the rogue Americans then reneged on the terms of the Japanese surrender. US first illaterally and illegally transfered its trustiship  in the administration of Diau Yudao to Japan in 1976 without China's agreement and without consultation with the United Nations Organisation . Then in the  1970s realising its hold on South East Asia was untenable because it sensed defeat coming soon in the Vietnam war and at the time when China was still weak without a credible navy to oversee  and maintain China's sovereignty over her South China Sea island territories , a few South East Asia land robbers with the instigation and support of America began to steal many of the Chinese islands. The Vietnamese stole 25 islands , Philippines 12, Malaysia 9 and Brunei 5. Even Indonesia quietly encroached on a large part of the Chinese fishing ground.

US and its western allies kept quiet when Vietnam and the Philippines began to fortify the islands they occupied with military installations. They assume these stolen islands as their fait accompli possessions inspite of China.s protest and they were very bravado about it because they have the rogue Americans backing them.

The fact that China has a communist government does not in any  sense legally or otherwise nullify the original terms of the Japanese surrender . Whether China is rule by the KMT or communist or by whatever ideological government for it is after all still a Chinese state and no amount of excuse or treachery is allowed to transcend and nullify the original terms of Japanese surrender pertaining to the return of Chinese territories in the East  China and South China Sea. That is in essence the prevailing legal status quo at the point of history and must be seen to be adopted and respected at all times by all countries in due respect to Chinese rights and sovereignty.

However the prevailing status quo was sinisterly breached and broken by the treacherous Americans who insidiously reneged on the original terms of Japanese surrender just because China now has a communist government which is anathema to US interest. So if any ASEAN politician or minister wants to talk of status quo pertaining to the South China Sea issues they must be clear minded and conversant with the true historical and political perspective of the region and not base on guess work, personal or private opinion and worst on massive American worldwide toxic propaganda. They must courageously tell Americans to the face to honour the  original terms of the Japanese surrender failing which they will appear to show that they are biasly pro-America and anti-China and that does not bode well for ASEAN and Asia as a whole.

Further under US outrageous view of status quo which has somehow influenced and poisoned the thinking of some silly ASEAN member countries it is tantamount to asking China to submit to US demand that China must somehow sacrifice and give up her ownership and sovereignty of her South China Sea islands and territorial seas in order to placate the insatiable appetite of American. aggression .

The ugly and evil hands of US and its western allies are always at work to undermine China in all spheres of life be it political, economic, financial or territorial. In 1986 they contrived the idea of UNCLOS - United Nations Convention on the Laws of the Sea which allowed maritime countries to claim up to 200 miles economic zone offshore . China as a maritime country supported the agreement but with the proviso that it must not supercede and impinge on China's historical rights and sovereignty over all her existing South China Sea island territories and territorial seas.

However though the US and some western countries dishonourably refused to sign , they nevertheless insisted that China should accept the unlawful claims of many of these Chinese islands by Vietnam, Philippines, Malaysia and Brunei because they are within two hundred miles offshore of these countries totally ignoring Chinese existing rights , sovereignty and interest.

It is very clear that US and the West connived and contrived this UNCLOS treaty with a view to create trouble and problems for East Asians and to disadvantage China vis-a-vis her neighbouring South China Sea littoral states. In short the Evil Empire and its western allies had plotted long in advance the Arab Middle East syndrome of permanent wars and instabilities for East Asia and the South China Sea periphery.

Had the US signed the treaty America would have to give up many of her ill gotten illegal   possessions of territories like Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Guam, the Marshall Islands and many other small islands in the Pacific Ocean and UK and France will have to surrender many of the islands in the Indian Ocean like Diego Garcia and the Falkland Island and some other islands in the Pacific Ocean.

Where is the logic when China legally and rightfully build some defense facilities in her own territories it is strongly objected by US and its Western allies , whereas on the contrary US has built over a thousand military bases all over the world and in other people's lands which they acquired by coercion to surround China and Russia menacingly in threatening posture not only to threaten China and Russia but also to awe and blackmail other smaller weaker countries into submission to American dictates and hegemony. This evil satanic aspect of the Evil Empire has been overlooked or ignored by many ASEAN ministers and politicians either through ignorance or fear of the monster and so they tend to echo America''s false accusations against China. To the Americans and its Western allies China is not even allowed to have the right to light a lamp but they have every right to pervertly build big and strong ferocious fires at China's door steps.

It is time ASEAN and the world must wake up and in unison with United Nations Organisation demand that America close down and dismantle all its worldwide military bases . These bases cannot be for peace but for wanton US aggression and total hegemony over all other people and countries on earth.

Singapore's elusive reserves

"For strange reasons, the PAP has refused to disclose the size of our past reserves.
For stranger reasons, past reserves could be depleted/kosong but Singaporeans will still be informed that the funds are still there....It’s about time President Halimah does her job and disclose the tens of billions that have quietly left our reserves.  Or have been lost."  Phillip Ang

Phillip Ang posted another article on the nation's reserves and questioned if there is any left and how much have been lost.

For a start, someone should raise in Parliament on the 28 times or 30 times that the reserves were drawn down during Nathan's watch. The people want to know the reasons for these drawdowns and how much were drawn down and how much were put back. We only learnt of these drawn downs but no details were given, or at least that is all I know.

Was the details made known when these were highlighted in Parliament? Can someone enlighten on these?

The Americans and Japanese have decided that US bases must remained in Korea

What was the main reason for the stationing of American troops in South Korea? No prizes for correct answer. There was a war between North and South Korea. Though there is a truce, technically both sides are still at war and American troops are needed because the useless South Koreans could not defend themselves against the North Koreans. So they needed the Americans to back them up just in case they got they got themselves chased all the way to Pusan again. Never believe that the South Koreans could defend themselves against the North. If they could, then there will be no need for the American presence.
 
With the changing of time and leadership, the North Koreans are willing to talk about peace and peaceful reunification of the two Koreas. If they do and agree to peace and both Koreans establish friendly relations and taking steps to reunify the two people, why is there a need to have the continuing presence of American bases in the Korean Peninsula?
 
The Japanese are hyping about the threats of China and Russia when in reality it was the Japanese that invaded China and Russia in the Second World War. The threat to peace in north east Asia is from the Japanese, not China or Russia. The Japanese have a lot of reasons to want the American troops to remain in Korea. If the Americans were to move out, the only American colony left in Asia would be Japan. As a proud people, they would not want to be seen as the only country that is still colonized by the Americans. They would want the Koreans to be dragged into the same sorry state of affair.
 
Also, militarily, if there is a conflict between the US and China or Russia, the first military targets would be the American bases in Korea instead of Japan. When all the American bases are in Japan, Japan would be the first to be hit while the Koreas would be safe from any attacks and becoming a war zone.
 
As for the Americans, the bases are there as part of the American Empire, to contain China and Russia and also to keep Korea as a colony. And this is exactly the reason why they are deciding that the bases must stay without having to consult the Koreans. To the Americans, the Koreans are just subjects of the American Empire and the Americans are the overlord that decides what and where they want to put their military bases. A colony has no right to object, no speaking right on such matters.
 
Both the Americans and Japanese would like the Koreans to continue to be an American colony and the first line of defence of the American Empire. Sorry Koreans, even if you are united as a single Korea, you will still remain as an American colony and the American troops would be there to take charge and control of your country.

Shangri La Dialogue - America's Military Forum for War

China has been accumulating trillions of reserves over the last 3 decades from international trades. The Americans are spending trillions of their reserves in the same period in conducting wars and destabilizing nations to maintain it dominance as the American Empire.
 
While the Americans are spending its trillions in conducting wars, in building weapons of wars, weapons of mass destruction and in selling arms, China is doing the reverse. China is ploughing its wealth into infrastructure developments in China and around the world, in manufacturing and in trades. While the Americans are trying to use and military might to maintain its grips and controls over its allies and enemies, provoking, threatening and intimidating countries with their military might, China is offering a helping hand to help countries to rebuild their infrastructure and to facilitate trades.
 
From Central Asia to the Indian Ocean, from Latin America, Africa to the Pacific Ocean, China has been spending its money for peaceful purposes to help these countries in their infrastructure and economic development. China is building ports in the Pacific Ocean, in Hamtambota, Sri Lanka, in Mauritius, in Malaysia, in Pakistan, in Greece, in Portugal and in Europe, to link all these countries under the Belt and Road Initiative. On land, the Central Asian landlock countries are linked to Europe and Africa with land transport hubs.
 
As a result, the economies of these countries are given a boost by the Chinese investments. Many of these countries were out of the way of traditional trade routes or been sidelined under the old trade routes. With the openings provided by the BRI, these countries are now in the centre of new trade routes and economic development. Despite all the negativities, threats and pressure from the Americans, the Chinese offer of development versus the American’s alternative of wars and buying weapons is an offer they cannot refuse. Some of these ports were leased to China on a 99 years lease, an arrangement that many nationalistic govts would refuse to sign away. This is in contrast to the Americans and the Europeans that came to conquer and to seize these countries as their colonies some for imperpetuity, without paying a cent. Countries leasing their ports to China must have seen the benefits from such contracts to their countries to say no.
 
The Chinese plan is very simple. Pour in the money for economic development and trade. Bring or divert economic activities to these countries and their ports. It is easy to build ports and road leading to nowhere like the Aussies claimed and trying to discredit and derail the Chinese BRI. China did not build these ports for nothing. Ports exist and thrive only when the ships are calling. The ships would only call when there are reasons to come. A good example is the Changi Airport. World travelers would come to Changi to visit the Jewel shopping centre? Not sure why they would visit the Tuas super port. The Chinese ships would skip Tuas when the Malaysian ports are ready. All Chinese ships would transit to all the ports they built in the BRI plan. A great example is the revival of the port in Greece and in Pakistan and soon Hamtambota.
 
Money speaks, when money is used wisely to benefit all parties. The govts of countries participating in the Chinese BRI could see all the benefits in the project. No gun was used to point at the head of these leaders unlike the days of western colonialism and imperialism. The respective govts could see what were good for their countries to jump on the bandwagon of growth and economic development, to prosper their countries in peaceful development instead of wars and living in fear of wars. No need to buy more weapons from the evil Empire.
 
Money is for food and the well being of their people, not for war machine to conduct wars. Wise govts would use their money wisely, not to buy guns.
 
The attitude and aggressiveness of the Americans are clearly evident in the Shangri La Dialogue. The American's plan is very simple, create tension, create fear by branding some countries as hostile and then offer them military treaties to protect them from the red herrings. Then continue to offer to sell weapons and war machine. If this does not work, raise the spectre of terrorism, support terrorists and used them to conduct terrorist acts in the countries, and then offer to fight the terrorists just like in the Phillippines and in Iraq and Syria. Send in the terrorists to terrorise the country and people and march in as the soldiers of God. They have been 'helping' the Phillippines to fight terrorism but the problem would not go away. Why? They have sent in terrorists into Syria and pretended to be fighting them to no end. Only when Russians moved in that the terrorists are defeated.
 
Now the Americans are trying to start another war zone in the South China Sea by sending in their warships to threaten and intimidate China. The evil Americans are playing with fire. China is not a pushover. The sad part is that the Asean countries would be dragged into this turmoil by this evil Empire and everything would be history.

The Shangri La Dialogue is a platform for the evil Americans to promote their war plans and incite countries to go to war. The Americans have nothing good to offer to the world except wars and war machine and weapons of mass destruction.

Parking fees - Pay to serve and defend nation

When everything is reduced to dollar and cents, everyone will become mercenaries, money minded. The notion of nation and state, of loyalty and honour, selflessness, devotion and duty would not count any more except in monetary terms. How much is loyalty, honour, duty? How much is defending the country, dying for the country? Who would be stupid enough to want to defend the country and die for a few hundred dollars when others are grabbing in the millions?

With the introduction of parking fees in military camps and even in schools, the financial burden to pay for parking in these premises would bear on the soldiers and teachers who often than not, volunteer extra time, their own time, to do more, to remain in camps and schools, to serve and to do that little bit more for the nation and students.

When time spent in schools and camps is now being charged, by parking fees, would the soldiers and teachers still want to stay in the camps and schools, feel so free and willing to go back to the camps and schools, to do more, to walk that extra mile?

Why would people want to pay to do more, to serve the people and defend the nation? The amount may not be big, but it is the same story of being penny wise pound foolish. Do not forget, going back to schools and camps burns petrol dollars as well. Now the teachers have to think of money burning away plus paying parking fees to do extra. How many teachers and soldiers would be put off by these increases and rather stay at home and enjoy their own private time? When everything is about money, in this case it is an extension of the desperation to find more money for the govt because somewhere there is a big hole to be filled, and a big crack that is leaking money, so finding more money in taxes and fees at all cost becomes the rule of the day.

The well being of school children and national defence take a backseat, not as important as finding more money. In such desperation, even the pockets of teachers and soldiers are not spared. The consequences could be lesser teachers and soldiers remaining in schools and camps than necessary to volunteer their services to the children and the nation. What for when such noble acts are not appreciated, probably regarded as being daft?

Stupidity has no cure despite the rubbish they spurt from their anus which they think are good reasons, sound logic, wisdom for doing so. They would not know that they are talking nonsense and sounding silly. For a few dollars, they are killing the initiative and drive of those who want to volunteer to do more for nation and people.
