US Sinister Stratagem In Korea vis-a-vis DPRK
US the rogue empire behaviour in Korea reminds me of a big bully in school decades ago. It was recess time. Many groups of boys were playing marbles in the playground. In one group a big bully was harassing a smaller boy. He was taunting him with insulting remarks. The small boy just kept quiet when he was challenged to a fight. This happened for many days and weeks. Even some of the small boy's friends called him a coward and joined in to jeer at him. Even a few of his closest friends left him to side with the bully.
But one day the unexpected thing happened. The bully went overboard. He disrupted the small boy and his friends marble games and insulted his parents. All of a sudden hell got loose and freaking fast like a bolt of thunder and lightning he launched a sudden fierce pugnacious attack on the bully and brought him down to the ground. Everyone stood in awe and was astounded by the change of event. The atmosphere of fear of the bully was changed to one of friendliness and respect for the small boy.
Later the small boy confided to one of his trusted friends that his parents warned him not to fight and to bear with patience and if he really had to fight he must strike his adversary down so hard and with suddeness and ligntning speed that he would not know what happened to him and thus in future he would never dare to bully him again.
Now isn't North Korea experiencing the same scenario as described above. DPRK has been pushed to a corner and has to react like a tiger being pushed to a wall. The Evil Empire has been harassing North Korea for almost seventy years since 1950 and since the end of the Korean War in 1953. With the help of the People's Republic of China ( PRC ) DPRK managed to fight America to a stalemate and an armistice was signed. However year in and year out US and its minions Japan and South Korea have been continuously carrying provocative acts against DPRK.
For many years China tried to broker a Korean peace treaty. Each time when terms and conditions of the treaty was agreed and finalised , America would reneged and walked away from signing the treaty by imposing new terms and conditions.
America is untrustworthy and has no genuine interest in peace for the Korean peninsula. They do not want to be bounded by a peace treaty where it is obliged to have its troops and military vacating from South Korea and Japan. US wants to continue its provocative acts and when DPRK reacts to US vile tactics it ironically turn the table and blame DPRK for being aggressive, provocative and begging for war.
Every year and ever so often US will carry out joint military drills involving all the arm forces with South Korea and Japan, simulating a real life invasion of North Korea. Time and again DPRK warned US to stop all the provocative war drills. As U did not heed the warning but continued the military drills, DPRK had to react with its own missile and nuclear tests to show America that it takes two to tango.
Now the US cunningly and despically using the UN and its mass media lied to the world and portrayed DPRK as a rogue country and that its missile and nuclear tests are provocative and post a danger to the region and the world. What hypocrisy is this ? After often tearing out the agreements and walking away from signing the peace treaty by unilaterally imposing new terms and conditions and then carrying out extreme provocative military war drills the Evil Empire expect DPRK not to react.
US expects the world to believe its hostile military drills and its over four hundred military bases in South Korea , Japan. Guam and Philippines are for peace. US has indeed caught itself in the quagmire of its web of vile intricate plot of evil.
Do not blame North Korea for all its missile and nuclear tests for it is but a reaction to US wild acts of extreme provocation and is its only means to secure North Korea peace and security and a deterrence to US aggression.
The world had indeed witnessed how the outrageous and untrustworthy US and its allies in NATO destroyed Libya in 2011 and brutally murdered Gadaffi after he agreed not to arm his country with nuclear and chemical weapons. In the same manner US, NATO and its Australian and Sunni Arab allies attacked and destroyed Iraq earlier in 2003 and brutally murdered Salem Hussein after falsely accused him of having armed Iraq with weapons of mass destruction. Under its Doctrine of American Exceptionalism, US will just get rid of any regime which does not toe its line or dictates.
The only reason for invading Iraq and Libya is US and the West covet of Iraq and Libya's oil and their strategic location to contain Russia. Syria is under similar situation but is lucky to have Russia's strong intervention on its behalf though US and NATO have not given up hope of subjugating Syria in future. The game in Syria has not ended. It is not over yet.
In Korea US has been manuafacturing fake news and lies about DPRK to serve as an excuse and basis for it to permanently station US troops and military bases in South Korea and Japan so that it can continue to spy on and to contain Russia and China.
US is playing a dangerous game. We must bring US to its senses and stop it from plunging the world to a Third World War where no one will be a victor but for sure it will be the end of human life on earth for eternity. It will be an armageddon.

Lim Tean – Fair Jobs for Singaporeans
The above is taken from a post by Cynical Investor posted in TRE.
Fair Jobs for Singaporeans!
I shall be organising an event at Speakers’ Corner in the 2nd week of September under the aegis of my Movement – Project Freedom , with the theme of ” Fair Jobs for Singaporeans ! ” .
We will not be discussing diabetes , pre-school or smart nation at the event but on the critical topic of what our Government should be doing to protect the rights of Singaporeans to find good jobs in their homeland !
Singaporeans are finding it increasingly difficult to get jobs whether you are a fresh graduate or a PMET who has been displaced by a foreign worker . The landscape for jobs in Singapore gets bleaker by the day . Our government has done little to prepare our workers for the revolution that is about to engulf the world as a result of automation .
I am crowdfunding for $ 20 000 to organise the event . A breakdown of the estimated itemised cost is as follows :-
1.Stage and tentage
2.Sound system
3.Barricades
4. Security personnel
Please support generously by donating to the following account ;
POSB Savings Account No : 404-14132-5
I call on 16 800 Singaporeans ( so far $ 3200 has been raised ) to please help give $ 1 each ( and in the process show the displeasure of the neglect of the government in this area ) and to share this meaningful event with your friends .
I look forward to seeing you at Hong Lim Park !
The above is taken from a post by Cynical Investor posted in TRE. The job situation for Singaporean graduates and PMETs has never been so bad that many of them have gone on to the retired list while quite a number are underemployed after spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to get a good degree from our world class universities. The number of Singaporean graduates becoming part time workers, contract workers or even becoming taxi or Uber/Grab drivers is no laughing matter. It is not just a shame but a crime against our very own Singaporeans to end up this way.
Today we have someone serious and credible in Lim Tean to take up this cause for our pathetic and lost Singaporeans. Many have given up, no idea on what to do to improve their lives. Here is a man that could make a difference to the lives of jobless and unemployed Singaporeans. Lim Tean could be the man Singaporeans have been waiting for to come forward in critical times like this to make a change for the better.
Singaporeans cannot continue to languish in hopelessness, hoping and waiting for jobs from MOM’s job banks or to attend NTUC classes to train them to go to work in third world countries to earn third world currencies that would not be enough to feed their families and pay for the expensive HDB flats.
The cause that Lim Tean is taking up is a worthy cause and very important to the well being of Singaporeans. This is a cause worth supporting. I will do my little contribution to this calling. Something serious must be done now to stop the destruction of the Singaporean PMETs from the employment market. They have families to feed and a son is critical to be able to live in this most expensive city in the world.
Please support this cause and support fellow Singaporeans. It is a shame to see millions of foreigners walking into this city as tourist and get a permanent job while Singaporean were left on the shelf, lamenting what is happening to their lives, to their degrees, to their abilities and their self esteem.
Lim Tean is asking for a dollar from each Singaporean. I am sure every Singaporean can do better than this for their fellow Singaporeans. This is like the building of Nantah when the ordinary Singaporeans dug deep into their pockets to help the ordinary Singaporeans. Forget about the millionaires. They have more important matters to care for. They don’t have time for the ordinary Singaporeans, the so called losers.

A deep sense of helplessness in Sin City
The failure of the opposition parties to make gains into Parliament GE
after GE and by election after by election has led the citizens that
were looking forward to change into a state of despair. Nothing is going
to change and the people will have to live with the PAP as the ruling
govt for the next 50 years. Lee Hsien Loong knew this and that he would
remain as PM until he chooses to retire at a time of his own choosing,
that is when he is 70. This is only one of the unbearable hard truths
that Singaporeans would have to live with and feeling helpless about it.
And the helplessness did not stuck with just the political system.
There are many things that Singaporeans felt are very wrong, or not to their likings but, yes, helpless to do anything about it. So they would just have to live with them and make the best out of a bad situation, or a very bad situation.
The influx of foreigners into the island, as job hunters, as PRs and eventually given citizenship, is so huge and so disproportionate to the number of citizens is a big sore point. More than half of the population, including many new citizens, is foreigners, not locally born. Did the Singaporeans agree to it? Were they asked that this is ok? No, but they could not do anything about it. It is a fait accompli dictated by the political party they elected to Parliament, to be their govt.
The problem of the influx of foreigners is not just a number. Singaporeans lost their jobs, high cost of living, inflation, high property prices and rentals, and stress on the infrastructure especially public transport, housing and medical. What can the Singaporeans do about it? Nothing.
Many have been cursing about their life time savings in the CPF that they thought were something to look forward to at retirement, ie 55 years old, only to see their savings slipping away from their fingers. The govt keeps changing the rules to keep them from touching their life savings, at times with ridiculous nonsensical reasons. Some jokers even openly said the savings of the people in the CPF are not their money. What can the Singaporeans do? Nothing. Just as helpless as if the money is really not theirs. And many of the natural aristocrats are grinning at their stupidity and helplessness.
Recently there were many noises about whether the HDB flats they lived in belong to them or the HDB ie the govt. Are they owners or lessees? If they are lessees, why are they made to pay property taxes and for the upkeep and maintenance and repairs of the HDB flats? No matter how much kpkb, nothing happens and the people lan lan continue to pay their property taxes on the lease property, their HDB flats accepting that they are the real owners of their HDB flats.
And now the case of the Elected Presidency. The govt changed the terms and conditions to the Elected Presidency. Only a handful of super rich elites can stand for election as the EP. This is no longer the right any citizen like before. This used to be the right of every citizen but no more. So, what can the people do about it?
The govt also decided that a Parliament appointed president can also count as an elected President despite everyone knowing that the first elected President was Ong Teng Cheong. Tan Cheng Bock went to court but his case was thrown out. The govt has the absolute right to determine what is an elected president and what is not according to the court rulings.
The govt also has the right to decide who is a Malay or who is not a Malay to be eligible to stand for the reserved election for a Malay President. A non Malay or half Malay also can if accepted by the President Election Community. What can the people do? Nothing. Helpless.
What about the case against the WP in the management of Town Council? Were there more serious cases of bigger losses and mismanagement than this case? This time the WP looks so helpless and waiting for the guillotine to slam down on their necks, as sure as the sun will rise. What about the people? They can only look at the case helplessly. There is nothing that the people can do about it to speak out and defend their elected representatives in Parliament.
What about the foreigners taking charge in the job market, recruiting and filling good jobs with more foreigners citing that Singaporeans are daft, no skill, lazy, incompetent etc etc and foreigners are the best fit for top jobs? The helpless Singaporeans only try to help themselves by applying to be taxi drivers or be content with part time jobs or contract jobs. What else can they do?
Helplessness is everywhere, if one bothers to look, in Sin City. Fees, taxes, transportation costs, prices of everything are going up and up. The helpless people just have to live with them.
PS. Actually this picture of helplessness is not true. Many Singaporeans are buying bigger houses and bigger and more expensive cars. The helplessness only happens to the losers, the Singaporeans that are jobless, underemployed or unemployed.
But what about the foreigners? They have never had it so good. It is like landing in paradise, away from their slum filled countries where jobs were hard to come by, to a land where pots of gold are everywhere and fortunes are made. Many went home rich, became landowners and starting their own businesses. Some even retired and no need to work anymore, living as the nouve riche in their original home countries where they were once poor ordinary folks.

Shanmugam – China’s BRI good for China and participating countries
Minister K Shanmugam: China a “world leader” and the BRI “the most ambitious project” in human history:
“The project was bold, imaginative and ambitious, and exemplifies the vision of a country that is currently the world leader in many aspects of infrastructure technology. China has also been very strategic in the way it has been investing, linking up with other countries and building relationships, and its companies are prepared to take risks and invest in large infrastructure projects… the BRI is arguably the most ambitious infrastructure project in history with the potential to bring Eurasia, China and Southeast Asia even closer together… It’s in China’s interest – and ours too – that its rise to great power status, or even superpower status, is peaceful and is seen to be peaceful… The rise of China is likely to be the largest world economy in absolute terms, though not in per capita terms. Technologically and militarily, China will become a more significant player over the next 20 to 30 years.”.... “It must be acknowledged that the country has achieved results for its people over the last 35 years on a scale that no other country in history has – both in terms of the speed of progress and the number of people who have made the leap from poverty to prosperity. China has been showing its detractors are getting it wrong. Its success in the field of science and technology, contradict claims that its political system does not allow innovation.” thestatestimes.
Singapore has officially put it on record the importance of China’s BRI project that would benefit all the countries participating in the project as well as countries not wanting to participate, notably India, Japan and the USA. From the start China has kept the door open and invited every country to be part of the BRI. India, Japan and the USA refused to participate for political reasons. They knew how valuable is this peaceful economic initiative that would boost connectivity and trade between Asia, SE Asia and Europe.
These three countries are going to lose out due to their narrow mindedness and selfish political interests. India would be left out in the cold and be bypassed. Good riddance. Japan and the USA, both technology and engineering power house with many big companies that could participate in the massive infrastructure projects could kick their own asses for not wanting or be allowed to be part of the scheme of things by their respective govts. Now they too are left out in the cold and cursing their govts for playing the spoiler game.
It is good that these countries opted out themselves from the BRI and not be in to be trouble makers. China should just leave it that way, no need to bother to invite them in again. And if they wanted in, treat them the same way they treated China when the latter applied for membership to the IMF. Just keep them outside the door with all the barriers to let them have a taste of their own medicine.
The BRI would go ahead in full steam with or without India, Japan or the USA. Let it be and let them be. A good project that is beneficial to all countries would be beneficial to all that could see the benefits. There is no need to hard sell the project. The BRI sells by itself. Only the blind could not see how important is this BRI project. India, Japan and the USA would be the real losers for playing the bad guys.
