As the Washington rakes up the tension of war in Korea, the Americans are chuckling in glee as if they are about to watch another Hollywood war movie when the Americans would turn out victorious and the victims wiped out forever. And they could pop champagne and bath in the glories of more war heroes. The rest of the world is watching silently with disinterest as if it is a non event, it does not involve them, does not affect them and their lives will go on as per normal. This did not prevent AFP from another report to demonise North Korea with the heading, "N Korea the 'greatest threat' faced by US" or should it be "USA the 'greatest threat' to N Korea and human civilisation'?
The war hawks in Washington are shouting war, beating the drums of war. But do they know what this war means? The weapons available to both combatants are unthinkable that no sane men or women would ever think that the damage would be bearable and acceptable. Each nuclear bomb on a major city could wipe out tens of millions of people in a scale never before seen or experienced in human history. Imagine the world without Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, without Seoul, without Pyongyang, without New York, Washington, LA, Chicago and many big cities in the countries engaged in this war. And this is only a conservative estimate of the destruction. Should China and Russia get into the picture, the USA, Russia, China and Europe could go up in smokes.
What is the reason, the unacceptable and intolerable reason that makes this war unavoidable? No, the North Koreans are not threatening to attack anyone with nuclear weapons. The North Koreans are developing their own nuclear weapons for their own defence, to be able to retaliate should the Americans attack them. The North Koreans are in no position to go to war with the Americans and hope to survive a holocaust. The North Koreans are not mad and stupid to want to do that, to invite their own destruction. They are trying their best to develop a little insurance against the daily threats of an American invasion.
The really mad and warlike monsters are those in power in the White House and Washington and in Tokyo. These people think it is ok, alright, reasonable, acceptable, to start a nuclear war with the North Koreans, that the destruction and potential loss of tens of millions of lives, even threatening the existence of human civilisation just to stop the North Koreans from developing their small defence capability against an attack by the Americans and Japanese is worth it.
They believe in their own madness, that the Korean leaders are mad people and wanting to attack the Americans and it is right and good to destroy the Korean people now, even risking losing tens of millions of Americans, Japanese and South Koreans. This is the real madness, the real threat to the killings of millions of people on a false belief and assumption by a few mad people.
Would Trump really want to do this and become the greatest villian in human history and civilisation? Does he appreciate how serious and destructive is this war out of nothing but an imagined and self created fear of a straw man? When the nuclear button is pushed, there is no end to how many nuclear bombs would be fired and how many cities would be no more.
How sane or insane are those people in Washington and the White House? Should they be locked up forever before they destroy this world and this civilisation all because of a red herring? Tillerson spoke at the UN urging the world to act against the North Koreans before catastrophic consequences happened. He is now rounding up the stupid Asean countries to help the Americans to destroy North Korea, a standard trick used over and over again against small countries. Would the Asean leaders be smart enough to see through this devious strategy and be aware that they too would one day be demonized just like North Korea?
The reality is that catastrophic consequences would happen if the Americans attack the North Koreans now. If not, no catastrophic consequences will happen and the status quo will remain, the world will stay in peace. It is the Americans that are going to start a mad war of unimaginable consequences. Who would be there to stop these mad men and women in Washington? Who is there to stop Donald Trump from becoming the number one villain of human civilization?

Singaporeans beware when going overseas
I am reposting an email I just received that I think is important enough to be shared here.
Dear Family, I am forwarding this warning from another group, in view of the dubious teacher vacancies in Oman which was posted 2 days back.
Your humanitarian duty requires you to spread this video as widely as possible, it may contribute to the arrest of these perpetrators and the preservation of innocent lives. 'I have no stomach to view the video and so did not include it here. But the message is relevant and very important.'
Some counterfeit agencies from China, Korea, Japan and other parts of Asia have offices in several countries in Africa, Asia and others, such as Nigeria, Ghana and a number of other countries, and coordinate with networks around the world including Dubai, Egypt, Libya and Lebanon, and may also be present in Sudan, Ethiopia, Eritrea and Somalia.
These companies provide young people especially young women with various jobs (domestic work, nursery, guards and others) They also prepare travel documents, airline tickets abd all travel arrangements. But when they arrived, the life of the poor young man or woman turns into hell and the end of their lives at the hands of an international gang that brutally kills them to get and sell their internal organs.
The video was secretly recorded by some one and the video says it all.
The life you might save by posting this video may be close to you. Sorry I got no guts to watch the video and did not post it here. You can imagine what it would be like.
Spread the video please to as many people as you can, especially the third world countries. And this is particularly relevant here when Singaporeans are being asked to venture overseas. Their youth, innocence and naivety, not exposed to the dangers of the cruel world outside would make Singaporeans idea target for such heinous and wicked schemes. Singaporeans think the rest of the world are so safe just like Singapore and would never notice anything wrong until it is too late. Damn human traffickers and traders of human organs.
Note the method of striking and killing these poor people in the video. The criminals want the victims to be brain dead only while preserving their organs alive until the traders arrived.
On a personal note I could not watch beyond the body spasms of the teenager's, so I really cant tell how violent the whole video is. I was sick, trembling and in tears. (This part is from the originator of this post).
PS. Whether this is fake news or real, it is better to be safe than sorry. Please advise those young things thinking of adventure, hungry or desperate enough to want to get a job by hook or by crook anywhere. The world out there is full of dangers and wickedness. Beware, beware, beware. I just felt compel to repose this in my blog to get as many people informed as possible.

The lazy Singaporean workers
Singaporeans today are not only unskilled and mismatched and therefore unemployable. They are also choosy and lazy. The warning is written all over the places and spoken by everyone who cares for their own good. Stop being lazy, go for training, go for upgrading courses, go job changing. Job changing is the new musical chair game for Singaporean lazy Singaporean workers and is highly recommended. Don’t be lazy, if you can’t find jobs in Singapore, go job hunting in other third world countries. This one is a bit difficult to swallow. If they cannot find jobs in Singapore, who thinks they could find jobs in other countries when jobs are protected?
Singaporeans who are lazy would lose their jobs to hungry foreigners coming here. This is globalization and there is no need to think of citizenship has its privileges. Citizens or not, your job would not be protected in Singapore and it is open to everyone in the whole wide world. Everyone can come here to steal your jobs. This is uniquely Singapore and is supported by the Singaporeans as seen in the results of the last general election. This is a reflection of their overwhelming support for the govt for such policies.
If you can’t survive here because your job is being stolen, go to other countries to steal their jobs. Hopefully those countries also believe in globalization and allow jobs in their countries to be stolen by Singaporeans. If not, then just too bad. How many countries out there are still preaching this stupid mantra that jobs for citizens need not be protected, and foreigners can happily come in to steal the citizens’ jobs? Off hand I would say none except Singapore.
How many countries out there allow Singaporeans to go and steal their jobs? One thing for sure, those govts would be overthrown if they don’t look after the welfare of their citizens and their jobs. But in Sin City, it is the reverse. The people will continue to vote for the govt with increasing majority even if the govt preaches globalization and hungry foreigners can come in to steal their jobs because Singaporeans are lazy and have no marketable skills.
Singaporeans are so blessed.

Archaic thinkers’ view of modern China
Last Sunday there were two articles about China’s new law to protect overseas Chinese or people of Chinese descent as part of the Chinese Civilisation in the Sunday Times. One piece was written by Cheong Suk Wai as a commentary on Leo Suryadinata’s book, The Rise of China and The Chinese Overseas. Another piece was by another eminent Chinese scholar, Prof Wang Gung Wu related the same topic and the book.
In gist, both professors were looking at the new Chinese law from an archaic and coloured perspective tinted by centuries of a weak China and in a way accepted that the victimization and persecution of overseas Chinese is a faith that overseas Chinese must accept. I will deal with these perceptions later, but let me first look at a few points that I think are rubbish even if coming from eminent professors of Chinese history and civilization. “Leo Suryadinata says: Wow, China is there to protect us immediately’. The ethnic Chinese overseas can be safe only if they know how to protect themselves.”
I call this kind of thinking rubbish primarily because the overseas Chinese cannot protect themselves even if they think they know and can protect themselves. That is why there is a long history of ethnic cleansing in SE Asia and the overseas Chinese were simply helpless, witless, with no ways to avoid being persecuted, being murdered in broad daylight even up to 1998 and last year when the threats of another racial bloodbath was close to become a reality in the Low Yat Incident in kuala Lumpur. And the recent election of the Jakarta governor when Ahok was found unacceptable by some extremist groups and again the threat of shedding Chinese blood was on the card not forgetting the burning of Chinese Indonesian homes in Batam recently. Can the overseas Chinese really know how to protect themselves? Yes, by running away, hiding or begging for mercy and be very grateful if the death would be a few lesser and a few women folks raped.
See how rubbish is this kind of archaic thinking. Even the intervention by the Chinese Ambassador in KL was deemed unfavourably, that he should not say anything. What would this professor think would have happened if the Chinese Ambassador did not step in? The Malaysian Chinese able to avoid another ethnic bloodbath? They know how to protect themselves?
Both professors cautioned against China’s policy of protecting overseas Chinese as a selfish act, to want to have more overseas Chinese to help in the OBOR project and that China’s interest is only there to protect its own interest. Should the interest deviates like the cases of the ethnic cleansing in Indonesia in the Suharto era and during the Pol Pot regime, China would look the other way.
There are some elements of truth in the sense that it would definitely be good if the interest of China and the overseas Chinese coincide. This would make things simpler. The point that China is using the charm offensive to woo overseas Chinese to support the OBOR project is true but not the most important consideration in this policy change. A handful of good overseas Chinese is all that China needs to change its fortune just like the return of Qian Xue Sen and a few of his fellow scientists in the 1950s that changed the fortune of China today. Just like the few rich overseas Chinese in recent times that pumped in capital in the early stages of China’s modernization. They are the ones that contributed greatly to what China is today. And the China of today does not really need much assistance from overseas Chinese to continue on its path to modernization and to be the next economic and military superpower. It already is.
What is this new policy and law of protecting overseas Chinese all about? To Leo Suryadinata, this policy is detrimental to the overseas Chinese as it stokes ‘suspicion and resentment among indigenous peoples of the Chinese in their midst, no thanks to the latter’s enterprise, wealth and economic dominance.’ Leo actually gave the answer for the suspicion and resentment, not due to the new Chinese law. The suspicion and resentment of overseas Chinese, even if they have been in their adopted countries for generations did not go away and would not go away if recent threats of ethnic cleansing are to go by. And this is one of the main reasons for China to make this stand. But this stand did not go against China’s earlier position that the overseas Chinese should be loyal citizens of their new country. That did not change.
China today is no longer a weak and hapless nation, unable to protect its people all over the world. The days when China and the Chinese have to swallow bitter pills and be victims of racial and ethnic discrimination and genocide, and suffered quietly are over. The days when it was natural, and a habit, to attack and kill overseas Chinese are over. China’s new law is about the pride of a civilization, the right to be treated as equals, respectfully as any human beans, that China and the Chinese Civilisation would not be willing and hapless victims of racial and ethnic cleansing. The old thinking that the Chinese should accept their fate of being at the mercy of primitive instinct must be erased from the minds of not only the primitive tribes, but also from the meek and dismissive overseas Chinese thinking. If the overseas Chinese have to say sorry and apologise to the primitive tribes for violating them, raping their women, looting and burning their homes and killing them whenever they feel like doing, then they deserved to be massacred by these tribes.
China does not adopt this law to disrupt or to stoke tension and disloyalties among the overseas Chinese in their new countries. It is only a natural thing, that China is a new superpower and please don’t think you can kill overseas Chinese anytime you like. Other than this, this policy would be just there as a warning to stop the primitive tribes to think they can still kill Chinese at will.
The overseas Chinese should look at this new law positively and not to have wild imaginations or think too highly of themselves that they are so important to China as a fifth column. China is doing the right thing as a superpower, to be able to protect the Chinese Civilisation from persecution and genocide, nothing more, nothing less. China would look real bad if the primitive tribes are out on a rampage to kill overseas Chinese again and it could not do a thing like in the past.
The primitive tribes did not care about the feelings and sensitivities of the Chinese when they were out there doing the raping and killings. Why should the overseas Chinese be so sensitive to their primitive feelings and sensitivities? Now that China is strong and powerful, it is about time the primitive tribes be sensitive to the feelings and sensitivities of China and the Chinese Civilisation. The Chinese Civilisation should be treated equally with mutual respect and regards, no more rapings and killings because they are Chinese. Period. But for those overseas Chinese who think they could look after themselves and want to continue to be sensitive to the feelings of the primitive natives and subject themselves to their mercy, please continue, bend your head low, bend down and be prepared to be screwed, and go about your life quietly, timidly and meekly, and pray they have mercy on you by sparing your lives when they got the itch to kill you. That is your chosen status quo of an era gone by when kicking your ass, raping your women, robbing your possessions, burning your homes and killing you in broad daylight at their whims and fancy, was and can continue to be the norm. You pathetic beans are afraid, very afraid that they would kill you again if you upset them intentionally or unintentionally or on the slightest excuse.
China is not telling the overseas Chinese Civilisation to be rude, to be arrogant, to rebel, to oppose their govt and be a destructive force in their new countries. Just be good and responsible citizens and be left to live your life normally, but if threatened by primitive instinct, there is China looking over their shoulders, that there is a China to tell them to stop their savage acts. Now would the overseas China want that?
I am not going to waste them explaining the stupid assertion that the OBOR is a new tributary system or shades of it of China. Come off it, the OBOR project was painfully and tediously negotiated with every govt on an equal and willing partner basis with each govt looking very carefully at what they stood to gain in this project. Does Leo Suryadinata really believe that the govt of the 60 plus countries are dumb and stupid and did not know what they were doing and were forced by China to participate in the so called new tributary system? If they are, they would be shot by their own people for treason. And Beijing got this project off without consulting the govts of these countries? I quote, “However, it is also true that this was suggested by Beijing, without consulting other countries.” Please do not insult their intelligence and integrity.
Come on, say something more credible. The days of colonialism were over many decades ago when the colonial power used to put a gun over the local chieftains or kings and said sign or else, and they signed. Could China do this to any independent country to sign onto the OBOR project?

South Korea calling the USA bluff
For a few decades since the end of WW2, the Americans have been conning their daft allies that the American military forces and bases are there to protect these daft countries. This myth would have continue and gone unchallenged if Duterte has not become the President of the Philippines. Duterte was the first Asian leader to call the American bluff by telling the Americans to pack up and fuck off. The Americans panicked and begged for the Special Forces to be allowed to stay, presumably to help to fight the Muslim insurgency and the Abu Sayaf. Incidentally the American Special Forces have been in the Philippines for ages and the Muslim insurgency seems to grow in strength despite the presence of the Special Forces, just like the growing power of ISIS in the ME. And rightly Duterte was asking whether the Special Forces were in the Philippines to fight the insurgency or there to breed, arm and train the rebels.
The myth that they were there to help the Philippines was exposed when they refused to leave. Their main purpose is to protect the interest of the American Empire. And rightly Duterte is demanding that the Americans must pay for being allowed to be present in the Philippines.
Then came this greenhorn Donald Trump who really believes that the American military bases overseas are there to protect those countries and started to demand that these countries pay for American protection. Their adamant and persistence to locate the THAAD system in South Korea and Trump's demand for a payment of US$1b have hit the wall. The South Koreans refused to pay and the Americans have to back out and have agreed to pay for the THAAD deployment. Why not, the THAAD systems were there to protect the American Empire, not really to protect the South Koreans. And rightly the South Koreans called the American bluff as they knew that it was the Americans that wanted the THAAD to be in the Korean Peninsula.
The South Koreans should demand that the Americans pay for the privilege to have bases and THAAD deployed on their soil. And more, for risking the destruction of South Korea and the Korean people as they would be primary targets should war breaks out.
Now, who will be next to call the American bluff and refused to pay? Abe has been under pressured by Trump to pay and so is NATO countries. If only these countries tell the Americans to go packing by refusing to pay, Trump and the Americans would be red faces, not wanting to leave and unable to collect a cent. Why don't these countries demand that the Americans pay for the right to have bases in their countries to protect the American Empire and expand their influence and military power?
What about silly Asean countries begging the Americans to stay and willing to pay? Some of these little USAs are so dumb and could not see that they are paying to support the American Empire when it should be the Americans that should be paying for the privilege of having a military presence in the region. As they said, suckers are born everyday and some are willing suckers without knowing why.
