Sue the stock exchange

OK I must be careful here. When I said sue the stock exchange I am referring to the NYSE, not SGX. SGX is the best stock exchange in Asia, maybe the best in the world, with excellent governance, good checks and balance system in place, good people in charge, the best money can buy, and with a lot of stringent monitoring and controls to make sure everything is fine, and no donkey or monkey business, no foul or fraudulent practices allowed. Investors playing in the SGX are so blessed to be investing in the safest and best regulated stock market in the world.

OK let me return to the NYSE. The people managing this stock market must be sued till their pants dropped and be put behind bars for mismanaging the stock market and allowed all kinds of frauds and fraudulent practices in the system and pretending that all is ok, legal and good practices. How can it be ok when the stock market is turned into a casino?

Let me just briefly list a few things that the stock exchange did. Bringing in IPOs from countries far far away that they have no effective control and no means of taking legal measures against fly by night companies and allowing such operators to cheat the innocent investors of their hard earned monies. These half baked companies were allowed to list, to take the money from IPOs and then let the companies collapse and the investors losing their pants. And the stock exchange just look the other way, appearing so innocent, not their business, you play with your eyes open while they pocketed the listing fees. They would not take responsibilities for allowing snake oil salesmen selling fly by night companies to list. Not their problem. They did not do anything wrong, not just one case but hundreds of similar cases, and the poor investors left to lick their wounds, money gone. This is crime against the innocent.

What about algo and computer trading, high speed trading? These buggers were allowed to take advantage of their super computers, to even locate their computers next to the exchange to be nearer and faster, to trade against the innocent investors. Such unfair practices, uneven playing field, are accepted as normal, nothing wrong, fair practices? Aren’t these cheatings? Why are the innocent public investors being made to play in a stock exchange that was rigged against them and the stock exchange management proudly claimed that there was nothing wrong? Unfair practices, unfair advantages and nothing wrong? OK, I never said the exchange was rigged. I only repeat what the western media and experts were saying.

Is the stock exchange supposed to provide a level playing field, ensure fair practices, ensure that everyone has a fair and even chance to trade and make or lose money? Why are the supercomputers allowed to trade against ill equipped ordinary people? Fair? Where is the fairness, where is the justice when small investors are cheated or taken advantage of by the computer traders?

And there are many many advantages that the computer traders have over the small investors and the stock exchange management just closed an eye and said nothing wrong. The computer traders with their super computers are allowed, legally sanctioned to do what they are doing by the stock exchange!

Now, should not the American public sue the stock exchange and the management and send them behind bars? Difficult, because many senators and congressmen and women are in some way paid to shut up and not to look at the crimes committed against the small investors.

Surely there must be some righteous and honourable senators and congressmen and women that would be willing to take up this injustice in the stock exchange, to protect the interest of the American public, the small investors, from fraud and malpractices. No? no fraud, no malpractices?

Who is bluffing who? When rights and wrongs are brushed aside and ignored, it is time for the American stock exchange to collapse. The rot is at the top, at the management of the stock exchange, including the government. They must be sued and justice brought to bear on them.

Save the small investors and the stock exchange. Why are the Americans living in such ignorance and being cheated without protesting when they are so good at suing? They have many very clever lawyers to frame the charges to bring the crooks managing the exchange to justice.

Freedom of navigation a threat to who?

Who is afraid of Virgina Wolf, not the silly lamb of course. Who is afraid of lack of freedom of navigation in the South China Sea? China is the biggest trading nation in the world and should be the most afraid of lack of navigation. Would China impose restriction on freedom of navigation on others and affect is trade with the world and its reputation and its national interest? Only fools would cut their nose to spite their own face.
 
Why would China want to cause such friction and mess up its relations with its neighbours? Did China mess up its relations with the countries sharing common borders with China? No. China needs good relations with its neighbours to show to the world that it values peace and good relations with its neighbours and countries around the world. But the Empire, the ex colonial masters are conning their silly former colonies that they must fear China and not them, and the silly colonies believe in the lies.
 
Who is really afraid of freedom of navigation being curbed? Actually no one would do such a thing in this era. What would or could China do, or what would be the likelihood of China’s presence in the South China Sea? This is what the Americans are afraid of. Today, the Americans sail their navies all over the world to challenge and threaten countries it tagged as enemies or called Axis of Evil. What the Americans are afraid is that China would install military surveillance in the SCS, include anti carrier and naval ship missiles that would pose a threat to the Americans that till now, could do what it likes without being challenged and untouchable. With China’s military presence, the Americans would be watched, monitored and could be challenged and sunk if they misbehaved or tried to bully other countries.
 
Is this not good for small countries in the region? What have small countries got to fear when they are not in contention for military power and domination in the SCS? They are being silly to think that China would be bothered with their little warship in SCS. China only has eyes on the world hegemon, the warmonger in the USA that have been threatening every nation with their military power.
 
The Americans would not want China to be able to threaten their military. It could nothing to do with small nations. This is the crux of the problem on freedom of navigation. The freedom of navigation of American naval fleet, aircraft carriers, would be monitored and could be threatened by China’s anti ship missiles.
 
To the rest of the Asean nations, please, don’t think silly and think so highly of yourself, that China would be bothered with your little naval craft. China got no time for you. Do not fight the fight for the Americans. Freedom of navigation is between the big powers, between China and the Americans and other pretenders.
 
Go home and have a nice sleep and stop pretending that freedom of navigation in the SCS would affect you if you are a little nation. In fact China would court your friendship and would make things better for you to win your goodwill. China would protect and ensure freedom of navigation for everyone to promote trade and exchanges.
 
Stupidity cannot be cure.

Asean – The Empire strikes back

The American hegemony has been shaken by recent moves by the Philippines and Malaysia to improve ties with China. The Empire will not take this sitting down and is striking back. The Empire has always regard Asean, in fact the whole world, as part of the Empire. The Empire rules the world and dictates to the world how it should behave or else. No independent country is free or really independent from the Empire.

The prosecution of the Malaysian PM Najib by the American Department of Justice is a clear case that the Empire rules. The embezzling case involving Malaysian govt, state funds, and Malaysians was though, in fact obvious to all, a domestic affairs of Malaysia. But the Empire said no, every state must be answerable to the Empire and Malaysia and its PM are no exception. They committed an act that the Empire would not allow and the Department of Justice had acted against its subjects. Full investigation would be conducted by all the subject countries to bring the PM of Malaysia to justice, in the courts of the Empire.

PM Najib of Malaysia has joined the rebels and headed to the rebel stronghold in China for protection. The rebel forces are strong. The Force is with them with Russia and China standing up to the Empire. Duterte, the President of the Philippines were even more rebellious by openly defying the Empire. Not only did he declared to break away from the Empire, he added that he would join the rebel forces led by Russia and China.

Duterte wants the Empire to pull out its remaining soldier in the Philippines. But the Empire said no, that the soldiers were there to help the Philippines to quell resistant forces. With that excuse, the Empire hopes to keep its soldiers in the Philippines, the way it is keeping its forces in Japan and South Korea,

Pressure is mounting to check on the Philippines. The Empire has told the Philippines that it would not be able to buy weapons from the Empire. It is a matter of time before sanctions would be applied to the Philippines for defying the Empire, attempting to break away.

The Philippines and Malaysia are now top of the list of countries targeted by the Empire. What else would the Empire do to remove Najib and Duterte and install more Empire friendly leaders to replace them? Would there be military coup or an invasion of these countries led by storm troopers?

 Don’t pray pray with the Dark Side. May the Force be with the rebel forces.

The Dodds Report: Enslaving the Philippines to serve American and Japanese interest

The Dodds Report: Enslaving the Philippines to serve American and Japanese interest.

Enslaving the Philippines to serve American and Japanese interest.

In 1898 America invaded the Philippines and after slaughtering hundreds of thousands of heroic Philipino resistance fighters it brought the Philippines under its colonial control. The Americans treated the Philippinos with derision and disrespect as low class conquered people. Throughout the half century of American imperial rule , the Americans have always plundered the rich resources of the Philippines to serve its colonial masters' interest. It had never occured to the Americans to lift up the welfare and status of the Philippinos and therefore either nothing was done or only  the bearest minimum was done to help the Philippines in education, commerce, industry or running a government with good governance. Transportation and infrastructure was never developed . That's why the Philippines today remains as the most backward among the Asean countries.

After the Second World War America wanted to build up  a defeated Japan as a powerful industrial base to serve its interest of confronting Russia and China  in the Cold War. The Americans made use of the Philippines mainly as the supplier of raw materials for its military industrial bases in Japan . And Japan was brought up as deputy sheriff to protect and oversee American interest in Asia. The dignity and pride of the Philippinos interest was never taken into consideration.

Below a US secret report ( The Dodds Report  ) pertaining to the Philippines was accidentally discovered. When the Philippinos came to know this report they went wild with rage and hatred for the Americans.

The Dodds Report.       Enslaving the Philippines to serve American and Japanese interest.
-------------------
"In 1946, the Truman administration adopted the recommendation of the Dodds Report which proposed that JAPAN be developed as the PRIMARY, if not sole, INDUSTRIAL POWERHOUSE in the Asia-Pacific region and that countries like the PHILIPPINES should be preserved as RAW MATERIAL ECONOMIES, obviously to service the requirements of Japan's factories.

‘’As the Asia-Pacific war came to a close, the U.S. made a fateful decision to UTILIZE JAPAN as the base from which to project U.S. MILITARY POWER, and that required the development of Japan as an industrial powerhouse. But since Japan is a nation bereft of natural resource, the plan required that countries like the PHILIPPINES be PRESERVED as raw material economies to ensure Japan with a continuing and permanent source of raw material.

‘’We owe our knowledge of the Dodds Report to the late Salvador Araneta who, during his self-exile in Canada during the martial law years, uncovered the existence of the document and denounced it in his book America's Double-Cross of the Philippines.

    Proving that Duterte was right all along re his strong feelings against the US..!

    Curious how such an important fact that Japan is resource-poor is often forgotten. No doubt that's why Japan waged war in the Pacific. They wanted it all. But now they've partially gotten what they wanted - aided by an imperialistic America seeing the chance to dominate the world but needing a strong and submissive Japan to oversee Asia. So the former colony of the US, the Phillipines, becomes Japan's resource 'factory' and the Phillipinos their slaves, their labour feeding Japan's (and America's might).

    Why couldn't Japan seek win-win deals with their Asian neighbours? Surely that's better than war. But to the government at the time, and as now with Abe that's a no-no. That would mean Japan was no longer the superior nation in Asia; it's just one of us. And that's unacceptable! The notion that they're the 'whitest' nation in Asia, a fantasy fed to Japanese nationalists by egotistical US politicians seduced by their own 'exceptionalism', has to be maintained.

    But now there is Duterte, and the Phillipinos have their hands on the steering wheel for a change. Good for them!

    By some strange quirk Duterte has within his reach the chance to change history in Asia - from tension, animosity, possible war, poverty and more poverty to that of accommodation, win-win for all, peace and prosperity...

    I pray for him and hope he is well-protected...

    SH ganzhuolin

    You may be on to sonething there. Quite right.
 
Duterte should insist that the Japanese government certify the sushi served is not from Fukushima waters!

Fre Okin Ban by TNI Boo!

Duterte may try to convince Abe US is no good for Japan just as he see US is no good for Philippines. Abe of course try to convince Duterte US is very good for the alliance and he should welcome US military forces.

If Duterte cannot convince Abe, he might present him a "dog on a leash" photo to impress on his host not to be that dog. A very subtle way of telling his host to have a backbone.

Australia assuming the post of Little White Sheriff in South China Sea

This little western outpost in Asia, occupied by Europeans that came to rob the natives of their land, is thinking that it is big enough to be the Little White Sheriff in the South China Sea, to rule over the silly and hapless Asian and Asean countries. And to make its role more legitimate, it is playing on the ego of the Indonesians, the undisputed regional big brother, to join them to patrol the SCS.

And this only happens after the Philippines refused to be dragged in to be the pawn in the American/western power game to control the SCS.  According to an Agencies report, ‘In February, Washington took the unusual step of publicly asking Australia  to undertake “freedom of navigation” operations by sailing naval patrols within 12 nautical miles of Beijing controlled territory.’

When the Empire was riding high, with the Aquino govt willingly playing the sacrificial pawn, they totally ignored the sensitivity of the Indonesians as the big brother of the region. Indonesia was transparent, ignored, Indonesian interests were not in their cards.  The Empire just muscled in as if they owned the SCS. Now that the Philippines have abandoned that role, the Little White Sheriff thinks the Indonesians, with a little flattery, would be silly enough to be roped in to play the role that the Pinoys had rejected.

Would Indonesia be dragged by the nose by the Little White Sheriff to do its donkey work for the Empire, to confront China like Aquino used to do? Or would the Indonesians show the middle finger to the Little White Sheriff who really believes it is a super power in the region and want to rule the waves in the SCS. What about the rest of the Asean states, do they have a say whether they accept the Little White Sheriff as the law enforcer in their backwaters? Who is Australia by the way?

The SCS belongs to this little western outpost, to the Empire?
