Big money invest in big biz, not in kachang putehs

Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway, invested US$232m in a Chinese company, BYD, a Shenzhen-based battery and electric car maker. The $232 million investment in 2008 is now worth about US$2.1 billion.

“When you got over $100 billion, you’re looking at any big market. We can’t go into tiny markets and really deploy enough capital,” he said. “We want to invest money intelligently. And obviously, big economies and growing economies have the potential.” Warren Buffett Yahoo News

The above comment by Buffett is what investment with big money is all about, invest in big economies, in big companies. How silly it is to have hundreds of millions invested in kachang puteh companies in sick economies. How silly it is to invest hundreds of millions in low skill, low tech, low capital and low barrier of entry companies.

Guess what type of big investment funds, with hundreds of millions to invest, would do exactly the opposite of what Berkshire Hathaway is doing? Would anyone with hundreds of millions of dollars to play with invest in tontine companies, in low level engineering companies, in hawker centres, in bakeries, in low tech, low skill mechanical workshops or in tuition centres?

Buffett said, invest intelligently in big economies, in growing economies, and in growing companies. Growing economies and growing economies must be really growing not by shouting that the economy is growing, the company is growing when they are not, not when growth is fiddling with numbers, juggling with numbers to make the icing looks good but in reality a rotten apple, rotten economies and rotten companies.

Is it so difficult to tell whether an economy or a company is all hype and nothing else? Oh, there are fake growth economies and fake growth companies, just like fake degrees and CVs. There are many con men everywhere with slippery tongues.

Is there anything to learn from Berkshire Hathaway? Or is it too late?

Modi visits China

These two big countries of Asia met again in Wuhan, China, with Modi making a scale down official visit short of a state visit by the head of a state. Nonetheless it is a good step forward to minimise tension and perhaps a small step towards more talks to reach some understanding in the territorial dispute and India's hyped obsession that China is going to invade and take over India.

Historically the two states had not gone to war or invade each other until the sneaky border war in 1962. There were natural barriers separating the two states and the centre of economic and political activities were far from the border. Further more, there was no state called India until the British colonised the land of the maharajas and tribal chiefs and subsequently gave it independence. Even independence was subjective as far as national boundaries were concerned. Not only India was an artificiality, there were no Pakistans before the colonisation, and the British carved up two states in the east and west of India and called them East and West Pakistan.

The whole damn shit in the subcontinent was the work of the British colonial masters that sailed from distant Europe to create states. And they drew up the boundaries for the natives that were not nation states then. India's trouble with China is the McMahon Lines. Who is this cunt that thought he was the lord of the day to draw lines between China and India and dictated to the two countries that the lines were the boundaries?

The questionable act of arbitrarily drawing lines freely by a foreign agent, an agent of colonialism, is now quoted by India as the authoritative source of their claims to Chinese land. Why would China want to accept the dictates of the British colonial power and let their land be written away from them? On what ground or reasons?

Why would India, a non state that became a new state in 1947 so happy to accept the lines drawn by their ex colonial master to make claims against Chinese land? Simple, it is land that did not belong to India but the British Raj said it belonged to India. So India die die insists that the land belongs to India because their colonial master said so.

The two countries should start from a fresh ground and stop relying on the colonial shit as the governing principle to settle their land dispute. The British were there to claim and conquer land belonging to other states and people. They did everything for their own interest under the power of the gun. If India does not remove this colonial hangover and insists that the British Raj was the authority to decide the land belonged to which state, then it is an unacceptable premise to start with.

And India should stop its silly hallucination that China is there to invade and grab Indian land, even invading India. This kind of unfriendly and hostile mindset would not do any good to bilateral relations. This is the 21st Century and acquisition of territories by war and by force is no longer acceptable except for the evil Empire. There are many smaller states around China and there is no fear of China invading them and taking them by force. Outer Mongolia with a population of 5/6 million was part of China, seceded due to Russian betrayal, but China is not even attempting to take it back by force. It could if it wants to.

The earlier the Indians removed this self deluded hysteria of China harbouring an intention to want to invade and conquer India, the earlier would they come to terms of the new reality and their senses and be at peace with themselves and with China. The fear of China is self induced. The territorial dispute is created by the British Raj and China or any country would not accept a foreigner or foreign power from afar to decide their territories.

When would India let go of this colonial hangover and start to think clearly and talk to China with sincerity and not living with its self delusion and fear of China? Why would China want to invade and inherit a subcontinent of problems that have little commonality with China?

Farrer Park’s demise’s a hard LAND-ing for Singapore

As far as usage of its precious land space goes, nothing is sacred in Singapore. The recent announcement that Farrer Park “will make way for redevelopment” (that dreaded phrase of conservationists) confirms this - if confirmation is at all needed. Still the imminent demise of Singapore’s football cradle - the birthplace of legends like Quah Kim Song, Fandi Ahmad and Sundramoorthy - hit us like fresh hammer blows at a time when the country’s footballing fortunes are going from First World to Third (ok, we were never First World in the first place but you get the picture). Standing at an all-time low of 183 in FIFA rankings, football fans need Farrer Park’s passing like a hole in the head. But in a way, no one should be surprised. This is a country that prized economics and pragmatism above all else.  Think the National Library, that old red brick building that was pulled down years ago to make way for a road. Think Bidadari cemetery, that historic abode of the dead that made way for the living in the form of pricey HDB flats. Think Bukit Brown cemetery, part of which made way for a viaduct and a flyover to ease traffic congestion.

Yes, this is a country that puts economics above history, efficiency above heritage, convenience above nostalgia, the future above the past. It would be easy to blame the Government for being trigger-happy with the wrecking ball but that is too simplistic. We get the government we deserve and the government reacts to the impulses of the voters who put them there. If they think Singaporeans will go along with policies that give them jobs, comfort, convenience and material well being - give and take the odd grumble - they will not hesitate to do it.  Wield the axe, send in the bulldozers because they have the mandate of the people which is more awesome than the mandate of heaven. So the buck really stops with us - the people - who must look ourselves in the mirror and examine our priorities .  

What could the OPCW team find in Douma

"Two weeks after the alleged chlorine and sarin attack, and amid warnings Syria's regime may have attempted to tamper with evidence, what clues might the team be looking for?
CHEMICAL TRACES
Despite the long delay, inspectors of the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) could still be able to find chemical traces useful for the probe, experts have told AFP."

After the West put on a media blitzkrig to accuse Assad for poisoning his people in Douma, the UN immediately sent a OPCW team to visit the site to conduct an on site investigation of the crime. Before the team could land in Syria, the West in their duplicity, conducted a massive air strike at Douma and two other sites alleged to be manufacturing chemical weapons. In so doing the team could not get to the site earlier. Now, two weeks have gone pass and the team finally arrived in Douma. 

As usual, the western propaganda machine started cranking, that it was Assad that caused the delay in the investigation. They ignored the fact that if the evil West did not conduct the air strikes, the team would be in Douma with a couple of days. 

Now, after two weeks, the whole intent and purpose of the airstrike was to delay the OPCW team to reach the site, the West is putting the blame squarely on Assad. And they are asking what could the OPCW team find after such a long time lapse? The intent is that the less they found the better. The more blur the evidence the better. 

The West would not want the OPCW team to find 'Made in USA' or 'Made in UK'' or Made in You Know Who country in the traces of chemical gas left, if any. And the accusation and allegation against Assad would hold since the OPCW team could not find the 'Made in USA or UK' marks on anything on site.

See how devious is the scheme of these evil men and women in hurriedly conducting an airstrike without approval from the UN? To destroy all evidence of their finger prints in the chemicals and gas used against the Syrians. Now they put on a blank face of honesty and righteousness and point the finger at Assad for delaying the OPCW team to reach the site and unable to prove anything.

The West are experts and regular producers of fake news and false flag incidents.

Korean Peace Talks and The American Warhawks and Neocons

The two countries Korea and China were divided due to the interference by America and Russia in their civil wars. Without the American and Russian interference Korea and China will today be two happy united countries.

The separation between North Korea (DPRK ) and South Korea ( ROK ) and between Mainland China and Taiwan was due to the fraud  and divisive evil ideology and doctrine imposed on the Koreans and the Chinese by the West headed by US and by Russia. After the Second World War both US and Russia had competing plans to dominate and control Asia. Using its bogus democracy and self serving evil doctrines US occupied South Korea and Taiwan while Russia occupied North Korea and perfunctorily supported Chairman Mao's PRC. If US and Russia had not interfered in the Korean civil war and the Chinese civil war the Koreans and the Chinese today would not have been divided but remain as two dignified united countries. America has consistently persisted in maintaining a divided Korea and a divided China to suit its agenda and ultimate aim of world conquest and hegemony.

While most Koreans aspire to be united and most people and countries in the world hope for a successful peace talk leading to the unification of the two Koreas not every body or every nation look forward to the success of the peace talks. The Japanese under  the despicable Abe definitely do not want to see a united Korea. A divided Korea will serve Japanese insidious agenda of military revival for its secret aim of seeking revenge and potential plan of aggression and conquest of Korea, China and Asia again and this time with the help and connivance of America. There are some treacherous Korean traitors who for their own selfish interests  will never want to have a united Korea but rather prefer to serve their Japanese and American masters servilely for their own personal benefits.

Even Trump's personal interest in the talks is under scrutiny. Is he using the talks in bidding his time to serve his secret agenda of other more morbid underlying plans for greater aggression somewhere else in Asia or in the South China Sea region. His sincerity in the peace talks is doubtful granted that he is a dishonourable man who often flip flops on his decisions and agreements .  Also he has to contend with the large numbers of warhawks , neocons and the powerful Deep State of the Shadow Government of the Anglo-Saxon Jewish Zionist Rothschilds Illuminati Cartel which controls Wall Street, CIA and the Pentagon and whose doctrine of perpetual and permanent warfare to generate wealth and profits for the Cartel do not bode well for the talks. The American warhawks, neocons and the Illuminati Cartel thrives on wars and never believe in peace.

The Russians also may not want to see a united Korean nation or a peaceful North East Asia or Asia because of Russia's own guilt of aggression against a weak  China before and therefore the Russians harbour a lingering fear that a peaceful united China may one day settle accounts with Russia for illegally occupying over three million square miles of Chinese lands north of the Heilongjiang River in Siberia and the Maritime Province in the Pacific coast during the time of the Opium Wars of 1839 to 1842 and 1856 to 1860.

However it is the hope of all Koreans and Chinese and all peace loving people and countries in the world that the Koreans and the Chinese will eventually be united as a single Korean nation and a single Chinese state in order to have genuine peace throughout Asia and the Pacific region.

The fate of the Koreans and the Chinese , their peace and livelihood, their economy and political and territorial integrity should not be held hostage by the American warhawks, neocons and the Illuminati cartel. If Trump and the Americans are sincere in a peaceful world they must openly denounce and renounce all their evil religious and militant doctrines such as the Doctrine of Christian Discovery, the Doctrine of American Manifest Destiny, the Doctrine of Exceptionalism and llilateralism of the Neocons and the Doctrine of  Permanent Warfare of the Zionist Illuminati Cartel.
