Covid-19 - A Global Problem That Requires A Global Solution

 1984 George Orwell said... Covid-19 - A Global Problem That Requires A Global Solution

No country is safe until every country is safe from the spreading of the COVID-19 coronavirus.

If the Diseased USA is proliferating the spread of their exceptionally-chosen Covid-19 disease, no country in the world can be safe, nor saved.

The only way for the world to be safe and saved, is to ostracise and stop all Americans from entering their country, as well as to stop buying goods delivered from the Diseased-Proliferating USA.

But USA is not the only country that is proliferating and unable to contain the disease. Countries like Brazil, EU, India and Russia are also seeing the escalated risk of the disease spreading wider, further and deeper. Some countries have already started the 3rd Wave, like running the marathon.

There is no central co-ordinating authority to ensure a coordinated concerted effort across the globe to tackle this disease as a whole. Each country is trying to tackle it by its own whims and fancy way. Exceptionalism or extra-stupidism will only make matters worse and worse.

This disease cannot be eradicated piece-meal. It has to be confronted at the global level.

The UN alone is unable to do much by itself without the political will and willingness of all countries to submit to its directions and instructions, except to monitor the global situation and issue warnings after warnings.

There is no lack of early warnings but only lack of political will and good political leadership to effectively catch the bull by its horns.

Most countries are trying to outsmart the COVID-19 coronavirus by lying and lying to their country-folks and the world at large. These are countries run by incompetent fly-by-night pseudo political hacks/hags.

The COVID-19 coronavirus does not only infect the lungs. It can also infect and weaken multiple organs in our body - especially the heart, brain, kidneys, liver and lungs.

The COVID-19 is not a short-term disease like the common flu. It is a long-term disease. Even if one has recovered from the initial infection, one still can be re-infected again and again.

Moreover, once infected, one carries the virus within the body for life. There is no way of getting rid of the virus from the body, even though you may have recovered.

Vaccines do not protect you from getting infected. It only helps your body to be prepared for the COVID-19 coronavirus intrusion into your blood circulatory system and triggers your immune system to fight it. How you fare from this fight is all dependent upon the existing state of your immune system. If your immune system is weak, in one way or another, you can still easily succumb to the disease and suffers the consequences.

So, the best thing to do is bear in mind that "Prevention is Better than Cure!"

DON'T ALLOW EVEN AN IOTA OF CHANCE FOR THE COVID-19 CORONAVIRUS TO TAKE A FOOTHOLD IN YOUR HEALTHY BODY!

Take good care of your own health. Don't depend other people or things to take care of your health for you.

May All Be Healthy,and Wealthy And Well!

Covid19 - The great American Exceptionalism

 WASHINGTON: Americans defied pleas from state and local officials to stay home for the Thanksgiving holiday in the face of the surging coronavirus pandemic, triggering fresh warnings from health officials with the release of vaccines still weeks away....

Spiraling infections typically result in a rising death toll weeks later. Coronavirus deaths reached 2,157 on Tuesday - one person every 40 seconds - with another 170,000 people infected, as millions of Americans disregarded official warnings and travelled for Thanksgiving.

Nearly 1 million passengers a day have been screened at airport security checkpoints for the past week, with Sunday's total of 1.047 million being the highest number since the early days of the pandemic in mid-March.  Reuters

 

With 12m cases going 13m by end of the week and nearly 300,000 death, the brave Americans are taking Covid19 in their strides. They are going home for Thanksgiving reunion come what may.  Nothing can stop the American spirit from choosing freedom or death. They will do what they want and no one in the world would be able to do anything or say anything to stop them even knowing that the millions infected by Covid19 will become carriers and spreaders of the disease.

This is American Exceptionalism at its best. Who dares to whisper to ban the Americans from entering their country knowing that they are the greatest spreaders of Covid19, even with all the evidence pointing to the Americans for starting this deadly and infectious disease? The might of the American Empire would snuff out anyone who would dare to point the finger at the Americans. And any country that dares to ban the Americans from entering their country would be banned and sanctioned by the Americans and be isolated by the Americans, and the rest of the world would just do what the Americans said.

And since the rest of the world cannot do anything about the reckless and irresponsible behaviour of the Americans to spread this deadly virus, the world might as well celebrate this American Exceptionalism and cheer and clap as the Americans go home for Thanksgiving and party at home. Just keep the virus at home, in American homeland.

Yes, it is so nice to be able to celebrate Thanksgiving with loved ones at home. The Chinese were stupid to lock down Wuhan and Hubei Province and not allow them to go home for annual reunion during Chinese New Year. This is lack of freedom.  They should have followed the American way, just go and celebrate, Covid19 or no Covid19, never mind, it will go away miraculously one day. If China would have let the Chinese people have the same freedom to celebrate reunion dinner, today it would have 30m or 50m or more Chinese being infected by Covid19 and the whole China would be locked down, and no country would want to let a single Chinese into their country. China does not have the same rights and privileges as the Americans, no Chinese Exceptionalism. 

After Thanksgiving the Americans would be celebrating 13m, 14m or more Covid19 cases. Only the Americans can enjoy having more infections and bragging about it as if it is a badge of honour. And they would be welcome all over the world with no bans against them trampling all over the world.

This is what an Empire is all about. The Empire has its privileges. Long live the American Empire. Long live Covid19.  After Thanksgiving there is Christmas around the corner to make bigger splashes and throw bigger parties. The lucky Americans should continue to enjoy life for as long as they can, a blessed people. Covid19 can do no harm to them or to spoil their good life.

PS. What is Thanksgiving Day?  To the white Americans, it was the day they celebrated the first harvest from the land they seized from the native Americans after massacring them. To the native Americans, it is a day of National Mourning of their forefathers being massacred and genocided by the white Americans and their land stolen. Some of the more sensitive white Americans understood the meaning of this day and the feelings of the native Americans and wanted to stop this celebration. But the insensitive and white supremacists did not see anything wrong with it, nothing wrong about massacring native Americans and stealing their land and to celebrate this event.

Thanksgiving Day is not just about the killing of native Americans, but also about the killing of the poor turkeys. The white Americans celebrate, the poor turkeys die. 

This 2020 Thanksgiving has another significant development. The Covid19 viruses are laid in waiting, to ambush the white men coming home for Thanksgiving. After the celebration, the virus would have a feast, the first harvest of the Covid19 virus on Thanksgiving Day.

Singapore - A Probable Target In The Event Of War Between USA And China

 

1984 George Orwell said...

Singapore - A Probable Target In The Event Of War Between USA And China

By signing the Military Agreement with President Trump to enable the Evil US Empire's Navy and Air Force to make use of Singapore as their refuelling, repair, rest and recreation, maintenance and supply bases (which is not different from a bilateral military pact), Singapore has by choice and design become an indirect threat to China at least for the next 15 years.

As China must always be ready for an all-out Nuclear War with the Evil US Empire, China has no option but to take precautionary measures against all probable secondary threats, both direct and indirect.

As such, on the slightest indication of an imminent threat of war by the Evil US Empire, China would probably have to take out as many as possible of the US military base in Asia and Southeast Asia, including communications, repair, refueling, supply and maintenance bases like Singapore.

Such bases, though not a direct threat to China, are actually the Life-lines of the US Military Might and are essentially necessary to support and to facilitate the US Military to operate with ease and confidence against China. They are, therefore, the indirect and more significant threats that cannot be brushed aside by any credible military strategist.

Therefore, in a precautionary move, these dangerous and threatening military bases would probably have to be TOTALLY OBLITERATED on the word "GO!"

There could be no second thoughts nor hesitation in this Game of Life and Death.

Even if China had destroyed them becauseoof a miscalculation, it's excusable because the governments of these bases knew before-hand what they were doing. Yet, they have deliberately chosen to sleep with a time-bomb under their pillow!

As their citizens did not protest, so they too had been complicit in this Game of Life and Death! It is fair game if they have to be taken off the map for good measure.

They have asked for it and they shall get it in time to come, for sure.

May God have mercy upon their souls!

When would the warmongering Americans start to behave like normal state?

ABU DHABI: US top diplomat Mike Pompeo has used a late-term Middle East tour to cement Washington's "maximum pressure" campaign on Iran, so President-elect Joe Biden cannot easily reverse it.

As the Donald Trump era draws to a close, US Secretary of State Pompeo has made containing the Islamic republic a key focus of his trip and even refused to rule out a military strike in a newspaper interview published Sunday (Nov 22).

While Biden has signalled a return to diplomacy with the Islamic republic, Pompeo has insisted Iran is the region's top threat, in a tour taking in Israel and the UAE and concluding in Saudi Arabia - all countries that view Iran through the same hawkish lens.

"This administration ... is here until Jan 20" and will "continue to pursue its policies", a senior US official travelling with Pompeo said during the stop in Abu Dhabi, which had followed a visit to Qatar's capital Doha.

"I would hope that this leverage that the (Trump) administration works so hard to get will be used to good purpose to get the Iranians to, once again, start behaving like a normal state." AFP


The above report is a clear example of the warmongering behaviour of the evil Americans, picking on countries to demonise and to attack and to start wars.  Iran is no different just another scapegoat of the evil Americans to support their war industries and their dominance as the world's number one hegemon at the expense of Iranians and Muslims. Its crap defence of Uyghurs in Xinjiang is a farce. The Americans have always been hostile to the Muslim and Arab world and exploited them by dividing them into opposing camps to be bullied and to be bombed and their countries and economies destroyed, crippled forever and become dsyfunctional states.

They are so wild and reckless that they are thinking of striking at Iran's nuclear power station on the pretext of making Americans safe. The Americans are the most vicious and warlike animals and Iran and the rest of the world need to destroy the Americans to their people safe.  As long as the Americans remain the uncontested and most powerful and destructive evil Empire, the people of the world cannot be safe. The Americans are the only wild and primitive animals that have been threatening one country after another with wars and destruction.

At this moment the rest of the world is hapless against this belligerent and reckless warmongering state. Thank God and Allah that covid19 is now released on these evil people and let them have a taste of being the victims of a painful war, launched and led by God/Allah, to make them feel hapless and seeing their people dying everyday instead of their war machine and warlike animals killing other people with no sense of guilt.

God is Great, Allah is Great. The warmongering Americans must be taught a painful lesson to behave like normal peaceful people of the world. Before they go around killing other people, they should be incapacitated by the soldiers of God, Covid19.

Behave you evil doers, killers, murderers, warmongers, or you shalt perish in the name of God.

The whites are setting up a debt trap for the world in the pricing of Covid19 vaccine. They are going to rob the world, especially the poorer countries from this deadly crisis. To the whites, pay up or die, led by the evil American Empire.

Resurgence Of Terrorist Activity Is Very Bad For Everyone And Everywhere

 1984 George Orwell said... Resurgence Of Terrorist Activity Is Very Bad For Everyone And Everywhere

"SINGAPORE — Following a resurgence of terrorist activity in France and other parts of the world in recent months, 37 people have been investigated by Singapore’s Internal Security Department (ISD) for suspected radical inclinations, inciting violence online or stoking communal unrest. Among the group are 14 Singaporeans.

One of the 37, a Bangladeshi construction worker, was arrested under the Internal Security Act on Nov 2 following investigations into his alleged terrorism-related activities." ~ TODAY.

Any form of terror is bad.

Any form of terrorism is very bad.

Any country, organisation or individual that instigates, promotes or supports terrorism or terrorists is terribly bad.

No organisation nor country should make use of terror or terrorism against others.

A country that is against terrorism and terrorists must do its utmost best, both covertly and openly, to alienate, condemn, denounce, oppose, suppress and destroy them totally, not once but at all times.

A country like USA, on the surface uses propaganda to blind the eyes and mesmerise the brains of the masses that it is against terrorism and terrorists but, behind the thinly veiled facet, is actually creating, organising, instigating, training, arming, supporting and promoting terrorism, terrorist organisations and terrorists. Some countries, big and small, turn a deaf ear,and a blind eye and a dumb mind towards the fact that USA is actually, for all intents and purposes, the BIGGEST TERRORIST IN THE WORLD.

Allowing the Biggest Terrorist to set up an operations military base in Singapore simply runs counter to what Singapore is advocating on the issue of Terrorism.

One cannot have the cake and eat it as well.

Economic gains should never be the paramount parameter to use as an excuse to fool the world in accepting the Biggest Terrorist in the World to set up a Terror Nest in the land-scarce tiny island. There are many more urgent and serious factors to bear in mind.

For example, during the US War in Vietnam, American GIs were lowed to R&R in Singapore. Though they brought in Tourist Dollars, they also brought in diseases, decadent attitude and behaviour, hatred and violence. In the long-run, anti-American sentiment developed and, I still remember, we formed small gangs to go after those GIs at their favourite water-holes. Whenever they drank and got themselves half-drunk, they would create troubles. They bullied and abused the local girls, women and children who were too weak and powerless to counter them. Every night, there were fights. And the police was nowhere to be found. So, our small gangs took over to protect our locals against those big bullies and skunks.

If the USA is allowed to set up an operating militarised terrorist base in Singapore, rest assured in a very short while, history will have to repeat itself!

Singapore offering base for American Navy in the interest of peace?

 Should Singapore agree to the request by the US Navy to be their base? Will China sees this as a threat? How can the government respond to this request?

Here are my views.

a) Singapore already has an agreement to provide naval facilities to the US Navy. This new request can be an extension of the current arrangement.

b) I suppose that the facilities is being provided on commercial terms. It will give economic benefits to Singapore.

c) America will soon come under a new administration. The trade and other disputes between America and China will probably be resolved in the near future.

d) Singapore can have a dialogue with China (through the diplomatic channels in Beijing and Singapore) and explain our approach and decision. We can hear and address any special concern from China.

I am hopeful that this decision can be taken in the interest of preserving the peace and stability of the region and in furthering our economic interest.

Tan Kin Lian 

Above post by Tan Kin Lian in TRE.  When the Americans talked about balance of power, it means they have all the nuclear weapons, all the WMD, you have none. That's is the American meaning of balance of power, a situation when they can whack the daylight out of any country at will and no one can hit them back, ie they will be the big time gangsters holding the world at ransom.

When the Americans talked about peace, maintaining peace, it is about peace for the Americans, ie they are safe and you are not. Just look at Iran and North Korea, two countries that can never be equal to the Americans in terms of military might and possession of WMD. But the Americans are lying to the world daily that these two countries are a threat to them and must not be allowed to have any WMD, only the Americans can have them. And who is threatening to obliterate who, in the name of its own security? Who is the real threat to who? The Americans are the threat to world peace, to all the smaller countries, in fact to all the countries including Russia and China, that the Americans are calculating and planning when to nuke them. No country in their right mind would dare to talk or dream about threatening the Americans or attacking the Americans. This is only a myth, a red herring that the evil Americans are spreading to be used as an excuse to threaten other countries. Only the evil Americans is the threat to other countries, not the other way.

So, is providing a military base for the Americans for peace in the region and the world, or to enhance the Americans to create more mischief, to threaten China and all the countries in the region, to enhance American hegemony? If it is any about peace and stability, it is for the Americans, it is for American hegemony.

What is the intent and purpose of the Americans wanting to have a naval base in Singapore? To maintain American world dominance and to contain China, to threaten China in the region. How would China perceive this development when the Americans have been sailing its warships to the South China Sea to provoke China, to violate Chinese territorial integrity? Is this for peace or for the bullying of China and any wrong move would only start a major war with Singapore as an obvious military target if China strikes back at American military bases used to attack China? Singapore leaders must stop being naive and think they could get away with this, providing a military base for the Americans to attack China.

If this is for commercial reasons, for the money, then Singapore should offer its backside to every country, just like a prostitute, not choosing its customers. To just offer a military base to the Americans or the Quad members, Singapore is taking sides and be complicit in the American plan to threaten and contain China. By the way, the presence of military bases is anything but for commercial or economic interests to the Americans.

American presence in the midst of Asean in not going to be taken lightly by Asean countries and would be seen as a hostile act by China. Period. The Americans and the Quad countries have been talking about choking the Straits of Malacca to cut off the supply of oil and goods to China. For peace, for who?

PS. US navy secretary has called for a new command to be formed ‘in the crossroads between the Indian and Pacific oceans’ The Americans are claiming the Indo Pacific Region as part of their Empire. Asean leaders please take note. The American Empire is taking over the region, and this is not aggressive behaviour, not expansionist, just American Exceptionalism, the world hegemon in action, all peaceful and nice, very nice and very friendly. Please invite them to be your new masters.  Oops, no need, they already invited themselves here and no need to bother whether you like it or not. 

Pax Indo Pacifica is becoming a reality. The region will become like the Caribbean, an American pond. Would any twit be asking China to come in to balance this evil Empire? Or instead asking the evil Empire already here, to balance China that is not here? The same kind of excuse from the American playbook for starting war, create a red herring as an excuse to move into the region to be the hegemon.

Growing isolation of warmonger evil American Empire

The republicans are calling for international cooperation to oppose China after Trump failed in his unilateral approach against China. The lying evil lump of lard, Pompeo, was sent to visit almost 20 American allies and 'used to be dead and dumb' nations to forge another coalition of warmongers to start WW3 with China as its main target. This also fizzled off. No takers. No amount of lying and badmouthing China would be believed by the countries he was courting and lying to. The rest of the world has grown up, grown wiser and would not be dumb willing partners of crime against humanity at the behest of the evil Americans. Yes, not a single country outside the 5 eyes Anglo Saxon mafia group would want to join this evil and disastrous war against China, schemed and planned by the evil white men in Washington, except India. The white men must stop to see and realise that the coloured people are not stupid anymore. No longer sheep to be led to be slaughtered by the white men.

The president elect Biden would do no different and no better. Being fixed by Trump's gungho white supremacist rhetoric, Biden could not do less and could be more hostile to China than Trump. This viciousness and primordial animal instinct of the white men, to start wars, to perpetuate wars, to kill fellow human beans, is being flaunted by the white Americans without shame, without the need to hide their wild and violent primitive nature to kill, for the whole world to see. No amount of coverups by the white man's media could cleanse their basic destructive nature and their evil past and the daily drum beating for wars.

The latest, to save his position in the White House, Trump is toying with the dangerous idea of attacking Iran's nuclear facilities. These evil white men have no qualms about attacking other countries, even risking nuclear war that would annihilate human civilisation for good. Now which idiots are still praising the white devils for being peace loving and kind?

The most serious threat to human civilisation and world wars is the evil white men, especially from the Gang of 5 called the 5 eyes countries. These past evil colonial masters are still clinging to what they did best as evil invaders and colonialists, wanting to dominate the control the world for their own well being and inciting and mustering the dumb and stupid to join in the wars of division, exploitation and destruction of coloured people and nations. They want to be the overlord of the Indo Pacific region with the aid of a few regional countries that would betray Asean countries to please the evil white men, to assist the white men into the region.

Luckily, fortunately, the nations of dumb and dead are getting fewer and lesser.  The rest of the world has wised up to see the evil behaviour of the white men. Every war on this planet is started by the white men and fought by the white men against coloured people and the victims are only the coloured people. The stupidity of the coloured people is turning into the stupidity of the white men, thinking that coloured people would forever be stupid and would be easily conned and lied by the white men to do their biddings, to go on to kill other coloured people for the white men.

In a world facing existential problems like climate change and Covid19, the white men are still playing with death and destruction. Instead of cooperating with the rest of the world to face these problems, they have walked out of Paris Accord on climate change, walked out of WHO, walked out of free trade, and continue to recklessly and irresponsibly spreading the deadly Covid19 virus to the rest of the world. The combined infected cases of Covid19 among the white men could be as high as 50m or more at current count, as many are not tested, not counted, not reported. These are the spreaders of this deadly virus to the rest of the world. And no one dares to ban them from entering their country.

While the stupid white men think they are invincible, immuned to the virus and would survive, they would be rudely reminded that this virus is not going to spare them and would bring an end to white supremacy and the white race, if they go unheeded to the virulence of the virus.

No amount of white lies and threats would the rest of the world be cowed and frightened by the white men to go about killing themselves at the agitation and provocation of the white men. The white men can go and kill themselves, fight their own wars among themselves but leave the coloured people alone in peace. Let the virus do the necessary to wipe out the lying and hypocritical evil white men for the good of human kind.

No more white lies, no more white wars and no more whitewashing og white cruelties and white crimes against humanity.

PS.

'On 9 November 1938 Nazi SA paramilitaries and some ordinary Germans unleashed a campaign of violence against Jews.  

Across two nights, scores of Jews were killed, hundreds of synagogues burned and thousands of businesses trashed and looted while authorities stood by and watched. Some 30,000 Jewish men were arrested and taken to concentration camps.

The November pogroms became known as the "Night of Broken Glass" due to the shards of broken glass that littered streets in several towns and cities across the country. The violence, orchestrated by Nazi propagandist Joeseph Goebbels, acted as the catalyst for the Holocaust. Some six million Jews were murdered in the genocide.' The Independent 

Don't forget the 100m native Americans that were genocided by the white Europeans....and the Koreans, the Vietnamese, the Arabs, Afghans, Africans, Mexicans, Latin Americans, Pinoys, Indians, Pacific Islanders, Asians etc etc

End days for Singapore social media

 

TR Emeritus on semi-hiatus

Please be informed that we will be putting TR Emeritus (TRE) on semi-hiatus status effective immediately, after consulting with the owner and our techie (who has been with TRE for over a decade).

What this means is that articles from contributors, readers and those who have given blanket permission will continue to be published on TRE, but there will be no editorials during this period, unless it is absolutely necessary. Readers can continue to comment on these articles as per normal.

 

The above is the latest development in social media in Singapore.  TRE is by far the biggest or second biggest in Singapore covering local social and political issues.  When TRE is down and out, the only one left would be TOC. It's editor Terry Xu is dated by Sue and kept very busy and under intense pressure due to the courtship.. 

Should Terry throw in the towel, TOC would be another closed chapter in history, leaving a beleaguered TRE limping along.

Look at the column on the left of this blog and you will see many of the earlier blogs and sites that are now history.  Blocked, banned etc etc. Think ASS or All Singaporean Stuff is being blocked.  Cannot access anymore.

Wondering when mysingaporenews would suffer the same fate. If TRE also goes the way of the dodo bird, then it would be the end of meaningful social media in Singapore except for those writing about food, pets and fashion. Yes, we have freedom of expression. Maybe by then I should also be writing about pets and wildlife.

War crimes committed by Australian Special Forces in Afghanistan - exposed after 20 years

Australia announced the appointment of a special prosecutor to investigate alleged war crimes by Australian special forces in Afghanistan on Thursday after media uncovered evidence of civilians and prisoners being killed....appointed the prosecutor to deal with the issue domestically and forestall any move by the International Criminal Court.

Since then, a series of often-harrowing reports have emerged about the conduct of Australia's elite special forces units -- ranging from a prisoner being shot dead to save space in a helicopter to the killing of a six-year-old child in a house raid....

That probe identified 55 separate incidents, most relating to the unlawful killings of "persons who were non-combatants or were no longer combatants" as well as "cruel treatment"....

The matter first came to public attention in 2017 when public broadcaster ABC published the so-called "Afghan files", which alleged Australian troops had killed unarmed men and children in Afghanistan. Yahoo News

These reported crimes were only skimming the surface of many more war crimes that went unreported. And these were committed by the Australians.  How many more were committed by the 'angelic' American soldiers that went unreported while Pompeo threatened to sanction and blacklist anyone that dared to investigate and persecute American war crimes in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria or anywhere else.

The hypocrisy and cruelties of the white men in the conduct of their illegal wars against the Muslims and Arabs have always gone unreported or under reported by the western media. They only report war crimes of other countries and painted themselves as angels, flawless and clean to a fault.

Would anyone in the UN dare to breathe a word about American war crimes in all the theatres of wars where American and allied soldiers were fighting? Only a few righteous and guilt conscious Americans would dare to stand up to make a case but mostly would be thumped down and silenced.

When the curtain falls on the evil Empire, one by one would be taken to task in the International Criminal Court to face their crimes against humanity. Let's start with the Australians and see how they whitewash this exercise to cover up the crimes of their Special Forces by going through the motion.

Singapore Today: The Faultless Human Errors

It has been proudly, gloriously and openly reported in the news that about 3,000 public service officers, both past and present, have been short-changed for a total of about $10 million because of HUMAN ERRORS.

"About 3,000 public service officers past and present will be compensated with a total of around S$10 million after errors were found in the Civil Service’s human resource (HR) records, the Public Service Division (PSD) said on Wednesday (Nov 18).

“The errors arose primarily because of human errors in data entry and coding of the HR and payroll IT systems,” PSD said. “The IT systems also had inadequate error detection capabilities.”




Isn't this is a clear, distinct and outstanding example of carelessness, incompetence and complacency?

Some top people are very fond of saying, "If you pay peanuts, you get monkeys." According Mrs Goh Chok Tong's standard, one peanut is equivalent to $60,000. Then what we get when ministers and top civil servants are paid 20 to 30 peanuts?

You are bound to get very lazy monkeys, because they have been too well fed. They over-eat the peanuts and grow so fat until they become huge orang-utans. So much so they can't move easily, become not agile anymore. Ultimately, complacency and incompetence set in, over the long years of service, and long years in power.

In the past, especially during the very strict, no-nonsense LKY-GKS Administration, we very seldom heard of HUMAN ERRORS being glorified as an excuse for big cock-ups like this one. Why?

Because heads would roll the moment the slightest display of complacency or incompetence
is uncovered. Not the lower rungs' heads. But the head who sits right at the top of the ministry or statutory board.

Basically, what does Human Errors mean? Isn't it as good as saying some human beings have been careless?

What causes carelessness? Isn't it caused by complacency?

What causes complacency? Isn't it due to incompetence?

What causes incompetence? Is it because of having been promoted to the level of incompetence, coupled with too much pay? Too-good-to-be-true type of pay? Instant millionaire pay? Out-of-this-world pay? Unconscionable pay?

Nobody is to be blamed. Cannot blame the humans who have HUMAN ERRORS because nobody is perfect. Everyone is bound to make mistakes. Everyone is entitled to make mistakes, especially when you are part of the Elite Entitlement Culture (EEC). So now blame who/what?

Hey, presto! Blame it on the IT system! Machines cannot fight back. So easy and convenient. Who don't know? But, but, but wait a minute. WHO approved the lousy, cock-up, blame-worthy IT system in the first place?

The IT System is not good enough because the person or committee that approved the IT System is not good enough. Simple as that. He/she/they are prone to HUMAN ERRORS. He/she/they have HUMAN ERRORS!

All civil servants are ENTITLED TO HAVE HUMAN ERRORS. So cannot fault them. It is not their fault that they have become so complacent, so careless, so incompetent that they now possess full of HUMAN ERRORS. It is because they have been paid out of this world unconscionable $million salaries to reach Multi-millionaire Status easily that they now take things easy so that they have so many Human Errors. It is not their fault that they are paid such obscene salary. Somebody else volunteered to pay them such obscene salary, plus even more obscene annual bonuses.

HUMAN ERRORS are faultless. It is honest mistakes because there is no such thing as dishonest mistake. If it is dishonest, the it cannot be mistakes; it would be deliberate, premeditated manipulations. Simple as that.

Is that loud and clear?

White devils, go mind your own business - China said

 China threatens to 'poke the eyes' of Five Eyes nations over HK


China has hit back at a joint statement from Five Eyes partners condemning its actions in Hong Kong, accusing the security alliance of threatening its internal affairs.

The Five Eyes foreign ministers from Australia, Canada, the US, Britain and New Zealand on Thursday said opposition MPs who were disqualified by Beijing from Hong Kong's legislature for not being patriotic enough should be immediately reinstated.

Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian on Thursday night said China would not flinch if trouble came its way.

"No matter how many eyes they have, five or 10 or whatever, should anyone dare to undermine China's sovereignty, security and development interests, be careful not to get poked in the eye," he said.

Covid19 vaccines - The Great White Hopes

When the manufacturer of a car claimed that it could run 18km on 1 litre of petrol the buyer could say, wow, damn fantastic claim, but never believe that it could be achieved on the road when the car is used normally. The 18km per litre may be achieveable under very special conditions, and driven specifically just for that purpose. It may not have been achieved at all but just a sales claim for all you know.

Such claims are very common even in medicine or health supplements. The producers of the products would make all the claims they wanted, often never to be met by the users. The users are also realistic, not to expect too much, as long as it works somewhat, has some positive effects. 

My car initially gave me 14.1km per litre and now hovering about 13.5km. I never expect to get 18km and would be very happy to get anything more than 14km per litre of petrol.

The Great White Hopes of Covid19 are two vaccines, one by Pfizer and one by Moderna. Pfizer initially claimed that it was 90% effective. Moderna claimed to be 95% effective. Now Pfizer is reported to have changed its claim to be also 95% effective in producing antibodies against Covid19 when vaccinated. 

As these are manufacturers' claims, let's take it with a pinch of salt and wish them well. If they are really as good as they claimed to be, it would be good for everyone and we can say goodbye to Covid19 and the discomfort of so many restraints in our daily life.

What is unusual or expected is that these two vaccines are the Great White Hopes, to be out earlier than other countries, especially to beat Chinese vaccines in approval for public use. For being the Great White Hopes, they must be good, no need to question or challenge their claims. So far no one is posing any question or doubt about the claims and the efficacy of the two vaccines. Fauci also accepted the claims at face value, no need to verify like Gov Cuomo wanted to do. This is how the white men have been telling the world about their products for donkey years as the best. They only tell the truth, just like men landing on the moon until 5 years ago when they knew that they could not do it and decided to close down the moon landing programme in NASA, to produce rockets to put man on the moon. Now they are so pleased and excited that Elon Musk, a private entrepreneur, could save them the embarrassment of having to pay for a ride to the International Space Station on board Russian built rockets because they don't have the technology to do so.

The Americans have made great strides, backward, in their space programme, from claiming that going to the moon, landing on the moon, were cake walks, to paying a private rocket taxi just to get to the ISS. Ok, I digress. The two Great White Hopes are all they are banking on to save themselves, saving a lot of embarrassment, and a lucky few coloured people that are able to pay for them and are on their good books. In their state of desperation and delirium, they chose to believe and accept all the claims of the two vaccines, totally, completely, as the elixirs they have been waiting for, just like remdesivir, hydrochloroqine and disinfectants that were once their Great White Hopes. Not a single white man or scientist has raised a word of doubt or caution about the claims of the 2 Great White Hopes.

They have totally ignored and written off the vaccines that the Chinese and other non white countries are developing and well ahead of them in the final third stage of public trials and going on smoothly without major hiccups. It is silence all the way. In a way it is good that the two Great White Hopes appeared at this time to take their attention off and heat away from the Chinese vaccines.  Otherwise they would be smearing and ridiculing the Chinese vaccines in every word they spout to discredit them. They may even sabotaged their trials and testings. They have been casting aspersion and doubts everyday since the Chinese started to test their vaccines and nothing good has been said. That is only to be expected. How can the Chinese do better than the great white men? The low number of infections in China must be fake. How could there be barely 85,000 cases in China? The 11m and shooting to the sky numbers in the US must be real, no under reporting, no under testing, no bluff. 

It is good to question and have doubts and a bit of reservations about a new vaccine that has yet to be approved for use for the public. Science is built on this foundation.  It is another thing to blindly believe in what the manufacturers claimed wholesale and taking them as the whole truth and nothing but the truth, and willing not only to pay millions or billions for them, but to throw caution to the winds, and rushing to approve and apply them with no hesitation and apprehension. The price is death if the claims turn out bad.

All Great White Hopes are always well received by the white believers like believing in their white God, must be good, until they fell flat one after another. Thanks to Muhammed Ali, Mike Tyson and many other great black fighters that stubbornly would not allow a Great White Hope to stand up tall and the Hope turning into reality.

Maybe these 2 Great White Hopes are different and will be the real things, or at least one of them will be. Even if they would not be 95% effective as claimed, 80% would be good, even 70% or 50% would be good enough a reason to celebrate. At least there is a Great White Hope standing and money to be made.

Chinese vaccines, a no no, a non starter to the whites. Never trust the Chinese! OK, OK, just stick to your Great White Hopes. Please don't come back. Please don't call Xi.

PS. The latest report, the Sinopharm vaccine has been tested on 60,000 volunteers and the result, 100% success. And the vaccine can be stored at temp between 2C to 8C, temperature in a home fridge. How's that for a start? Bear in mind that the Chinese vaccines were tested and put on trials in Brazil, Turkey, Indonesia and several other countries, some with very strong anti China elements waiting to discredit the Chinese. These countries also have vested interest to want to make sure the tests and trials are done correctly, no rigging, no faking, no fixing as they are using them on their own population.  

The tests and trials of Sinopharm vaccine were done by third parties and under careful scrutiny and came out with flying colours. Who did the trials for Pfizer and Moderna's vaccines?

Why is DBS India coughing money to save a failing Indian bank and not the govt of India?

Anon 2:10 pm posted this comment.

'India CECA News:

Is Singapore's DBS Being Forced by India to Inject Capital Into Troubled Indian Bank?....

Given the “ absence of any credible plan for infusion of capital ”, therefore, the amalgamation with DBS Bank India is necessary in the name of “(Indian) public interest and particularly in the interest of the (Indian)depositors,” RBI notes.

According to DBS, it will inject INR 2,500 crore ($463 million) into DBS Bank India if the scheme goes through. This will be fully funded from DBS’ existing resources.

“The proposed amalgamation will provide stability and better prospects to Lakshmi Vilas Bank’s depositors, customers and employees following a time of uncertainty,” says DBS. November 18, 2020 2:10 pm '

 

Below is from The Economic Times of India

'DBS is well-known for its culture of efficiency. We can keep our fingers crossed on how that will fit in with the culture of the old private sector bank, says R Gandhi, Former Deputy Governor, RBI.

It was expected that a public sector bank would step in down and save Lakshmi Vilas Bank NSE -19.94 %. The RBI has put out a draft amalgamation scheme with DBS India as the possible bank that will take over. Any comments on the choice of DBS India?
 

First of all, there has been a long standing expectation from the market and others that whenever there is a problem in a bank, the public sector should come to the rescue. It is good that the premise is gone. Whether the market likes this arrangement, whether it is a public sector or a private sector or a foreign bank that should not be the criteria. The bank which will be able to take over the failing bank and which can bring in additional capital should be the primary consideration. That has been demonstrated and that is good for the future. The normal expectation that a PSU bank should always come to the rescue whenever a bank fails is gone and that is a first. Number two, whether there will be a cultural fit or not is a natural question people will entertain because DBS is well-known for its culture of efficiency. We can keep our fingers crossed on how that will fit in with the culture of the old private sector bank but that would also have been factored in by DBS. This is a local bank now, it is a subsidiary of DBS, it is not DBS per se.'

 

A few pertinent questions. Why is DBS India bailing out a failing Indian bank. 2. What is it in for DBS? 3. Is DBS doing charity? 4. What is the return for the $463m paid? 5. Who is this $463m paid to? 6. In addition DBS India would have to pay the depositors what they deposited. How much would this be and is it in addition to the $463m? 7. What would be the full sum that DBS India would have to pay eventually? 8. Does DBS has a choice to say no? 9. Presumably the Singapore govt was consulted and agreed to it?

In the last sentence above in bold was added by me. What does it mean that DBS is a local bank now and not DBS per se? 

What is going on? Anyone able to clarify what is going on? Is DBS India now own by the Indian govt and the Indian govt can order DBS India, a bank owned by Singapore, to bail out failing Indian bank?

As an analogy, supposing a local Singapore bank is failing, can the Singapore govt order a foreign bank like an American or European bank to bail out the bank?

livemint.com reported this,

'The equity holders of Lakshmi Vilas Bank will find their value written down to nil. “On and from the Appointed date, the entire amount of the paid-up share capital and reserves and surplus, including the balances in the share/securities premium account of the transferor bank, shall stand written off," the RBI said. The fact that the bank had a negative networth would mean that shareholders do not stand a chance to make money.

DBS India will pay depositors of Lakshmi Vilas Bank fully if they do not wish to continue to remain with the lender post merger. Employees too are expected to be swallowed completely by DBS Bank India without big layoffs.'

Is DBS India doing national service for India or is this a commercial decision whereby DBS will gain or benefit somewhat in the long run? Or is it money down the drain?

Is it Christmas in India?

Anon 2:53pm said, 'Effectively, the India government is getting a foreign investor to bail out a local financial institution which is in trouble - to protect Indian depositors - instead of using taxpayers' money as was done in Western countries.

Why not save Hyflux and protect the uncles and aunties minority shareholders who would have lost their life savings or a big chunk of their little savings?

Parti Liyani jailed for 6 months for stealing counterfeit watches and fashion accessories worth $300

180 For the above reasons, I find that more than a reasonable doubt exists as to whether May had in fact discarded these two counterfeit watches. I believe Parti’s evidence and find it more likely than not that she found the Vacheron Constantin watch and the Swatch watch in May’s trash. I do not believe May’s testimony that she had not discarded the two counterfeit watches that she had purchased. Accordingly, I overturn Parti’s conviction on the 3rd charge in relation to the theft of the two counterfeit watches.” (Justice Chan Seng Onn's judgement)

Ms Liyani was sentenced to 6 months imprisonment for allegedly stealing the two counterfeit watches together with a ring, earrings and some fashion accessories valued at the total sum of $300. She was acquitted on appeal.

I would like to know what Minister K Shanmugam has to say about Justice Chan Seng Onn’s acquittal of Ms Liyani on this charge.

As an ordinary person, I wonder why the prosecutor chose to proceed with the charge of theft of counterfeit watches.

Poor people may find it a thrill to possess a counterfeit watch but for the wealthy, well, maybe they too find it a thrill to do so. But why do the police and prosecutor bother to charge a poor domestic worker with stealing counterfeit watches?

Shouldn’t they consider saving the time of judges and defence counsel? Don’t they have a duty to save taxpayers’ money and act in the interest of the public?...

Teo Soh Lung 

Above is Teo Soh Lung's comment about the need to charge a maid for stealing counterfeit watches and fashion accessories worth $300. Parti was acquitted by Justice Chan from these charges on grounds of reasonable doubts as to whether the cheap fake items were discarded by the owner.

Teo Soh Lung questioned the need to waste the court's time on something so trivial. But some may say a crime is a crime, big or so does not matter. In this case there is the additional aspect of doubts raised by Justice Chan that the owner, very rich people, with high social status, discarding cheap counterfeits.

Oh, during the earlier trials, owner admitted buying fake from roadside vendor and watch expert also attested that the watches were fakes. Why didn't the owner of the fake watches withdraw the charges? Would it not be very embarrassing and petty to buy fake watches and accused a maid of stealing cheap and broken down fake watches?  Fake watches are practically worthless, broken fake watches?

Some may find it too harsh to jail Parti for 6 months over this $300 theft even if it is a proven fact.  Some may agree with Teo Soh Lung that this case should not go to court.

What do you think?

Below is a comment in Teo Soh Lung's article in the TRE that pointed to the deficiencies of this case with the district judge and the prosecutors coming under questions.

Realistically:

There are lawyers and there are LAWYERS……….and of course there are idiots and there are idiots………….not knowing that they as lawyers AND idiots have been taken in by Law & Home Affairs Minister K Shanmugam in his so called Parliament Statement which I hv said was a FARCE.

I suggest sinkies who want to understand better the FAILURE of the judicial system in delivering justice go through Shanmugam’s Parliament Statement found on the Home Affairs Ministry website or the Parliamentary Reports.

The issue of TRAVESTY OF JUSTICE was NEVER dealt with……….the BASIS for High Court appeal judgment by Justice Chan for which Shanmugam had implied was deficient, was ACTUALLY in accordance with the Court of Appeal judgments which he had cited in his Parliament Statement [232] Mohamed Affandi bin Rosli v PP & anor [2019] 1 SLR 440 and [233]PP v GCK [2020] SCGA 2, the latter should have been Public Prosecutor v GCK and another matter [2020] SGCA 2, where at [12] of the summary of the judgment, inter alia, stated thus:

The principle of proof beyond a reasonable doubt could be conceptualised in two ways:

a. …..Once the court had identified the flaw internal to the Prosecution’s case, weaknesses in the Defence’s case could not ordinarily shore up what was lacking in the Prosecution’s case to begin with because the Prosecution had simply not been able to discharge its overall legal burden (at [134], [137], [142], [149(e)] and [149(f)]).

b. ….In order to find a reasonable doubt in the Prosecution’s case on the totality of the evidence, the court had to articulate the specific doubt that had arisen in the Prosecution’s case and ground it with reference to the evidence (at [143], [144], [147], [149(g)], [149(h)] and [149(j)]).

So the Minister toking cok about his Ministry & AGC’s investigation after the HC judgment bears NO impact on Justice Chan’s judgment.

I, for one, did not even harbour any notion that Liew Mun Leong had exerted any influence on the outcome of the case, nor, in my opinion, did SMU law Assoc Professor Eugene Tan (in the TODAY newspaper) nor Mr Harpreet Singh Nehal SC in the Straits Times…….nor I think most sinkies. I believe our common concern was the conduct of District Judge Olivia Low for failing to discharge her judicial duties FAITHFULLY, in contravention of her oath of office under the First Schedule of the State Courts Act………….as I hv posted, even the CJ has implicitly criticised Olivia Low in the CJ’s judgment allowing Ms Liyani’s application to have the two DPPs who prosecuted her to face a Disciplinary Tribunal.

Neither of the legal issues pertaining to District Judge Olivia Low nor the 2 DPPs was dealt with in Shanmugam’s Parliament Statement………a point NOT raised by the wayang party’s MP, PSP’s NCMPs nor the white monkeys…..at least I have not read of it.

The 5 Big Unexpectations on China by the West

 Professor Martin Jacques in his recent lecture talked about the western expectations of China that led to its rise in the short span of 40 years from poverty to world supremacy. There were two assumptions that the West made and expected of China. It was too poor and backward to catch up with America and the West in economic well being and everything. Secondly, if China were to become richer and more successful, it would become more democratic or be like the Americans. Both turned out to be false and by 2014 China's economy was already bigger than the Americans on parity purchasing power terms and also, China is still China and not an inch closer to the American democratic system. The Americans regard the latter as bad and China's rise must be put to and end. But it is not going to be easy and not going the American and western way.

The disappointments were manifested in 5 big 'unexpectations' in the West. For years and decades, the Americans have been singing their favourite song written by a Gordon Chang, claimed to be a Chinese but looked like a Japanese and hating everything Chinese, that China is about to implode and collapse, broken up and become a failed state. This sad story did not happen and China is growing stronger and stronger by the day. But this Japanese looking Chinese is still a hot favourite to be invited to badmouth  China even after his silly expectation of China failed to materialise. He is still hoping that it will, one day.

The next unexpectation of the West, according to Martin Jacques, is that China would suffer a financial crisis. It did not, it was America and the West that was hit by the financial crisis and some went bankrupt, with some gone and some teethering to topple over in Europe.

Another unexpectation is political crisis. It did not happen in China but in the West. The American manipulated mass protests on the streets of Hong Kong is now history. The mass protests are now daily occurrence in many American cities and in some European cities and getting worse by the day. And the biggest political crisis, expecting and hoping for Xi Jinping and his CCP to be toppled turned into a rude shock when Xi has extended his leadership for life while the CCP is getting more than 90 per cent support from the Chinese people. On the other hand, America is sunk into a political crisis that threatens to break up the United States into a Disunited States with Trump claiming that the American democratic election process is flawed, corrupted, easily rigged and cannot be trusted. Trump is now planning to conduct a coup against president elect Biden. The political crisis in the US is now an international joke.

And then came Covid19, a virus planted in China and China was expected to crumbled with millions of Chinese dead by the pandemic. The unexpectation, the virus left China after being effectively curbed and controlled and flew over to Europe and the USA, ravaging every city and state and with the number of infections and deaths on top of the world and growing and growing rapidly, unstoppable.

And the trade war launched by Trump to cripple China's economy is turning out to become another painful unexpectation for the Americans. China's economy is as good as back on its feet and growing, back to normal. The American economy and the economies of the West are still under lockdown and in negative territory. How come, how can?  Did not Trump said he won?

The rise of China is unstoppable. The decline and fall of the West, especially America, is the final unexpectation that they did not see coming, refuse to see it coming, in a numb state of denial.


Another Group Of Traitors Revealed Their Hands!

Hong Kong's pro-Western, anti-China, anti-Government, pretentious pro-Democracy Lawmakers, instead of helping the HK Parliament to make good, patriotic, pro-national and pro-locals' laws, have deliberately resigned en masse, all 15 out of 19 of them (4 others have already been disqualified and dismissed as undesirable anti-national elements out to sabotage national unity and progress).

They openly held a press conference in Hong Kong yesterday (12 Nov) in order to continue their ulterior motive of blemishing, demonising and damaging the good names of the Local HK Government and the Central Chinese Government.

This group of traitors have been trained, groomed, financed and directed by anti-China Westerners to pretend to fight for independence, but actually to cecede the island to Britain or USA. They have been at this traitorous game for the past four years, since the staunchly anti-China Donald Trump came into power as the US President on 20 Jan 2017.

These traitors of the Chinese people have just resigned en masse, after the expulsion of four of the members of their Cecessionist Gang.

The mass resignation of these Western stooges, who have managed to infiltrate into the HK Parliament as lawmakers, has raised fresh questions about their loyalty to Hong-Kong and to China, exposing their hidden motive of becoming Hong-Kong's lawmakers.

The future of the territory's well-being and stability has now been shakened and threatened by this small group of traitors, who have disguised themselves as the true and sincere dissenting voices of the Hong-Kong people.

"We owe a display of solidarity with our colleagues who were ousted. We need to protest against what could be the ultimate Beijing crackdown on Hong Kong - to silence the last bit of dissent in the city," said Ms Claudia Mo, one of the 15 Western stooges who announced the walkout on Wednesday.

"They're lining us up to oust us bit by bit. What's the point of staying on like this, thinking will I be ousted today or not?" Ms Mo added.

Hong Kong has witnessed a rapid erosion of its economy, security and global financial status since these treacherous Western puppets started to create disturbances, disruptions, chaos, riots and violence under the direction and instructions of Western Powers that have been secretly and openly instigating, encouraging, supporting and financing them.

They intend to turn Hong-Kong into a lawless city so that they can do whatever bidding their Western Masters instruct them to do. That is why they are very much against any law that they deemed disadvantageous to their treacherous cause of helping Western Powers to seize Hong-Kong and put them up as the defacto Hong-Kong Governor and Representatives of the Western Powers.

China and the Chinese people must, once and for all, eliminate and destroy these traitors, in order to stop them from creating further havoc to the lives of peaceful and patriotic commoners in Hong-Kong and neighbouring cities. They should not be allowed to infiltrate the HK Parliament ever again.

It would be stupid and careless to let them continue along the same destructive path again and again. Four years of unrest and destruction is long enough. In fact, much too long already. Serious damages have already occurred again and again. The costs are immeasurable.

The time has come to take a strong stand and carry out deterent actions so as to convey a distinct, unmistakable and definitive strong message to all these traitors and perpetrators of chaos and instability in Hong-Kong and elsewhere within China.

No decent government should allow or, worst still, facilitate the growth of Traitors within the ranks.

Traitors, Traitors Everywhere; Not A Country Can Be Spare'd

 


Introduction

Traitors are public enemies number one because they are the most cunning, slimy, vicious, unscrupulous and dangerous, and they can create the most harm to their motherland, to their people.

Traitors are like cancerous cells that exist in our body stealthily to devour and convert all the good cells into cancerous cells and grow to enormous size and power, and then together they finally caused the self-destruction and demise of our body.

Traitors existed since time immemorial. They exist in every country and every corner of the world. They can be found in our own families, in private enterprises as well as in government ministries, departments and agencies.

Main Objective of Traitors

The main objective of most traitors is to sell out their families, companies, organisations or countries for selfish purposes - money, sex, status, power or vengeance.

Some of them have been discovered, identified, caught and duly punished.

Some of them, though identified but are still free to do havoc to their own families, companies, organisations, countries and countrymen because the masses are either powerless or so disunited to be able to bring them to task.

However, many of them have not been identified nor discovered because they are able to hide behind the laws and inside the organisations from which they operate. These are usually people working as double-agents or even triple-agents.

Traitors Must Be Exposed

All traitors of their countries and of their people must be identified and singled out, and publicly shamed and forced to quit any position of power and political office they may be holding. They must also be banned from holding any government or private appointments where they can assert influence on the future of the country.

How To Deal With Traitors

The best way to deal with traitors is either by public execution or jail for life.

The latest example of a traitor uncovered:

The Headline

Nagorno-Karabakh: Armenian Protesters Urge 'Traitor' PM To Quit

Armenian citizens are protesting against the decision of their government to allow foreign invaders to keep several huge states the invaders have captured and are calling for the Armenia's Prime Minister, Nikol Pashinyan, to quit after he signed a peace deal with Azerbaijan, to end the fighting over Nagorno-Karabakh.

Under the Russian-brokered deal, the Armenian PM allowed Azerbaijan to keep the areas it has invaded and captured in the recent conflict.

Conclusion

Capitulation to foreign invaders (or investors) is a direct indication of a weak leader with a traitorous character. It is tantamount to selling out your people and your country to foreigners. It is inexcusable and unpardonable.

P/S: Once a traitor, forever a traitor, down to the descendants. It is in their DNA!

Covid19 - Trump did it, riding in triumphantly on the Pale Horse

 


WASHINGTON: Stanford University economists estimate that President Donald Trump's campaign rallies have resulted in 30,000 additional confirmed cases of COVID-19, and likely led to more than 700 deaths overall, according to a paper posted online this weekend.

The research, led by B Douglas Bernheim, chair of economics at Stanford University, analyzed data following 18 Trump rallies held between June 20 and Sep 22, three of which were indoors. Bernheim said in an email the work relies on statistical methods to infer causation after an event has occurred. Reuters


Look no further if you want the answer on who is the super spreader of Covid19 virus. Look at the above picture and count the number of people not wearing masks and notice how close they were together.  And this scene is repeated in all the rallies that Trump held.

As they said, God works in his own mysterious way. Despite all the good and reasonable advice by Fauci and all the American medical experts to simply put on the mask and keep a safe distance, such recommendations would fall on death ears.  It is like the Americans are being led to the slaughter, willingly, by the rider of the Pale Horse. They simply would not want to listen, would not want to see the danger they put themselves and their families and fellow Americans in.

They are doing what God wants them to do, to self administer themselves with the Covid19 virus and willing to die for it. It's a calling.

What to do? No one can go against the will of God and his plan.

And this is not happening only in the USA. Many European states have crossed the million mark and growing and not wanting to do the necessary to keep the virus away. They are led by the messenger of God to their eventual demise. The temptation is so irresistible with Trump leading them all the way, with authority. It is not that they are stupid or stubborn and cannot see the risk they are exposing themselves to. They just have to do God's will, to meet their maker. The path is so glorious and so inviting.

And Trump's job is not done.  He is rallying his white supremacist groups, the remnants of the Ku Klux Klan which his grandfather and father led to repeat their infamous acts of lynching the blacks and coloured people. Yes, they are ready to do what Trump wants them to do. This time more deadly with automatic weapons instead of ropes hanging on trees of burning spikes.

The karma of the evil white race has finally caught up with them. There is no escaping from their evil past. Below are a couple of pics of the nice, caring, loving and friendly French. They even think it is human to put the beheaded on their stamps.



PS. The diehard believers of white men are good and kind and caring, and the protectors of the weak and human rights may find such photos unbearably painful to their beliefs and thoughts. Wake up from your silly dreams and face the cruel realities of your white gods. Now you know why Mahathir said those things. Ignorance is a bliss for the fools that are willing to be duped. The generosities of the whites are a pittance from what they plundered from the natives of the world and cannot make up for the cruelties and atrocities to their millions of victims committed over centuries of colonialism and proselytising.

The Changi Jewel soon needs to be pawned - Aziz Kassim

 'The Changi Jewel soon need to be pawned but what jewels the structure having , lol' 

This quote by Aziz Kassim posted in his article about the insanity of buying electricity from Malaysia and laying pipelines all the way to Australia are signs of a bridge too far. The euphoria of good time never ends and keep on building and keep on increasing the population is beginning to sound more insane. And if the lunatics are not listening, Covid19 makes it a point that they cannot ignore the debt traps of mindless expansion for the sake of economic growth at all cost without thinking of the downside.

Changi Jewel is not the only crown jewel to be pawned. Think about the useless grandiose and meaningless structures in the Garden by the Bay that cost hundreds of millions to build and many millions to maintain. In a lockdown or semi lockdown situation like this pandemic, they stood up like sore thumbs and looked unbelieveable to waste so much money on them.

Then look at the optimistic plan for Changi with Terminals 4 and 5, both going to look like two big white elephants.  Ok, ok, it is unfair to criticise such ambitious plan as no one would expect Covid19 to come along and turn the movie into slow motion and many frames frozen in time, with economic activities and flying and tourism like history lessons.

What looks no longer funny is the selling of strategic assets like power stations to foreigners and now wanting to import electricity from Malaysia and Australia. Are they going to be cheaper than what we had before?

Or is the unplanned population growth towards an increasing population that could go bigger and bigger, with no effort to restrain or to put a cap on it a natural progression that is unavoidable? Where would all these lead to? And how would things look like if there is another major crisis like Covid19 or something more serious? There is planning to grow but  are there contingency plans when growing becomes shrinking?

If the world economy is not going to recover soon, or going to be in a limbo for a long time, I think we would only need one terminal at Changi and the rest can be mothballed. And SIA, what would happen to all the brand new aircraft? Lelong also no body wants.

Oops, maybe the magic cure in times like this to grow the economy is to bring in more bodies to increase consumption, ya? Bring in more bodies to create demand for more flats and more shopping centres and foodcourts and hawker centres...and more income from levies?

Singapore, what do you really Stand For?

Singapore, what do you really stand for?
I do not understand you at all.
When confronted, you say, "abide by rule of law".
But all this while, we feel like being ruled by law.
Now, I think we're ruled by the Minister for Law.

Singapore, are you rule of law,
Or rule by law,
Or ruled by the Minister for Law?

Singapore, if you are rule of law,
Then you should not have
a Home Affairs Minister
who is also a Minister for Law.

Singapore, if you are ruled by law,
then you should not be quarrelling
with your sister-in-law,
'cause she's part of your own flaw.

Singapore, if you are ruled by the Minister for Law,
Then you must have lots and lots of flaw,
So much so you are blind, deaf and mute to our call -
The loud screaming call for justice for all.

A confused Singapore citizen like all.
Happy birthday to me from my son-in-law.
This is my birthday gift to you all.
My dearest beloved Singapore, stand tall.

Please don't collapse and fall.
