The North Korea that the western media would not tell you

This is a picture posted by Vivian Balakrishnan in his facebook. It is no different from the buildings in a developed and well organised country. It is definitely not a third world developing country with slums and poverty everywhere. It is not the often repeated abject poverty country that the western media want the world to believe, deceiving the world to believe. This is a picture of North Korea that you would not see or reported by the western media. The western media would showed you some corners of the countryside or some ancient photos of an impoverished North Korea after the days of carpet bombing and destruction by the evil American Empire. The Americans and the western media have been lying to the world and to all their readers of a North Korea suffering from abject poverty and famine and hungry people dying on the streets.

Vivian would not lie and this is a recent photo taken a few days ago during his visit to North Korea. The buildings cannot be built overnight nor are they a mirage or fabricated from Lego bricks. Listen to what Vivian has to say as reported in Channel News Asia.

"

In Pyongyang, he witnessed a clean and beautiful city with ongoing construction for modern commercial and residential buildings. He also saw an eye hospital with the latest medical equipment, he told reporters.
“To be frank with you, I come back very impressed,” Dr Balakrishnan said to Singapore media on Saturday in Beijing, where he made a brief stopover after flying from Pyongyang in the morning.

“Frankly, my views have also altered based on what I saw, heard, and (after I had) spoken to people,” he said, sharing his reflections on North Korea. “Clearly, the government has been hard at work all these decades to upgrade their infrastructure."

It is understandable that his views are changing as he was also being fed with the image of a North Korea provided by the western media that have not set foot on North Korea and with a sinister plot to paint North Korea in the worse possible. Until today you will hear many silly western supposedly scholars still chirping North Korea is suffering from extreme poverty, famine and hardship and hungry people.

“Despite these maximal sanctions, what you have is a society that has continued to invest itself and continuously trying to upgrade people and their skills and the services they provide to their citizens,” Dr Balakrishnan said. “Now, can you imagine if peace finally comes, and North Korea is allowed to open up to the world and gain access to technology, capability, skills and markets."

“I think the sky is the limit for their people," he added.

I hope the unthinking and those that swear by the western media that North Koreans are dying on the streets would open their eyes, remove the blinkers and see the new reality. If you look at the above picture, it would put many Asian and Southeast Asian countries to shame.

Unfortunately the silly bananas would not believe anything contrary to their programmed mind and would continue to insist that Vivian is lying or being shown a false picture of North Korea. What to do, there are people that simply would want to live in the world of make belief created by the western media.

The gangsters descended from the mountains

After several decades of living off the people by their bullying threats and instilling fear in the people, the gangsters have grown very rich, and very fat, with all the money to enjoy all the good things in life. They have been splashing their ill gotten wealth to benefit themselves and their fellow gangsters and runners. Some even went on gambling spree around the world, visiting all the casinos and hoping to make quick bucks to make themselves richer.

For  a long time, they have been telling lies to the people that all is well while all the time robbing the people of their wealth. They demanded a big share of the people's income as protection money, demanded a share of their properties or else they would come down from the mountain to take more. The sheeple, oops, people, acquiesce and give the gangsters what they want to make them happy, civil and rich. And the gangsters continue to live in their high mountain resorts, with all the land and space and free mountain air. Occasionally they would walk with the people acting like their overlords, as respectable and rich gentry but really wolves in sheepskin.

Lately there is a change in the air. The gangsters seemed to be a bit confuses but still behaving like gangsters. They are demanding more from the people. Crossing the bridges would have to pay higher toll fees. Using the water from the mountain streams also got to pay more. Everything has to pay more. Perhaps the gangsters want to live better, greed is unsatiable and has no limits. Perhaps they have squandered all the money stolen from the people. Perhaps they have lost a lot of money in the casinos. They look quite desperate for money.

There is also a change in style. They are willing to descend from the high mountain to talk to the people. They want to know how the people feel about them, about what they are doing. They are showing that they are really caring and protecting the people.

But they forgot that in all aspects they are still the gangsters. They forgot that they have robbed the people of their wealth, telling the people that if they don't give them some wealth, they would resort to robbing. They forgot that they have been steling the wealth of the people and continuing to steal from the people everyday with increasing amount.

They want to hear from the people that they are still doing well, and well like by the people, that the people still trust them and that their heavy handed approach to demand more protection money is going down well with the people. They want to know that the people are happy with all the new demands for more money.

The people are trembling in fear. Not giving more to the gangsters is not an option. Telling the gangsters their grievances is also not an option as the gangsters would not listen. The only hope for the people is to talk to the gods and hoping that lightning would strike at the gangsters. In the meantime the people just pretend that everything is fine, and put on a smiling face.

The fear of the gangster is in the air. The empty promises of the gangsters are still in the air.

The gangsters would not see the wrongs and harm they have done to the people that they have robbed and beaten into fearing them, becoming hapless sheep. Gangsters will always be gangsters.

Malaysia, an excellent case study of a fatuous leader

Malaysia makes an excellent case study of a fatuous leader and a corrupt govt for all to see and to study. It is a living example of history being made in real time and all history buff and living beans should treasure this privilege to live, read and bear witness to it. This is a rare event that a fatuous leader and a corrupt govt were brought down at its peak in the abuse of power and corruption. This is not a historical event compiled by historians after every was over. It is fresh from the oven and still unfolding.

A few months before the event, a few weeks and a few days before the downfall, none of them see it coming and were intoxicating themselves with all the power, attention and stuffing money into their pockets. The wife was spending the easy money like no tomorrow and no need to account for it. Neither would they know that fortune would turn overnight and they could become criminals and being prosecuted and the likelihood that all the ill gotten gains would be taken away from them. Never would the cronies, eunuchs and fellow thieves believe that they were doing anything wrong. And the beast that was the hatchet man has gone into hiding, running away from the very law that used to protect him while he abused the law of the corrupt govt. threaten to kill the innocent.

All the years, the fatuous leader thought he was brilliant, clever and untouchable, without a clue that he was a walking idiot. And his fellow thieves did not think they were stealing the people's money and enriching themselves undeservingly. They thought they had all the power to protect themselves and their wrongdoings, their abuses of power and the stealing of the nation's and public wealth.

A good example of how silly the situation was is best described by Lim Kit Siang in an article in Yahoo News.

" “But as Khairy has now admitted, there was not even a bleat from anyone of the 730-odd Umno/BN candidates about the evil and monstrosity of the 1MDB scandal.

“Najib believed that he could get away from full accounting for the 1MDB scandal in the 14th general election, by obfuscating and virtually censoring detailed examination and debate of what the US Attorney-General Jeff Sessions had described as ‘kleptocracy at its worst’,” Lim said in a statement.

Umno leaders had staunchly defended former president Datuk Seri Najib Razak over the corruption scandal, including repeatedly backing his assertion that a RM2.6 billion deposit in his personal account was a “donation” from an unnamed Arab royal."

Notice the word, they don't even bleat a word and staunchly defended the fatuous leader over corruption scandals? And they all looked so innocent by looking the other way.  No corruption. And the fatuous leader believed he could get away from full accounting by...obfuscating and virtually censoring examination and debate.

Now they are jumping ship. They knew that they were doing all the wrong things but pretended nothing of the sort for as long as they could hang on to power. When the power was taken from them, they could see their nakedness and there was nothing to hide anymore. They knew it is game over.

We all live to see how it happened and how it is going to end.

Trump Kim Summit – Hope for a nuclear free Asia

I mentioned this hope from a comment I heard over Channel News Angmoh. So please spare me the eggs for saying something so stupid. But for angmohs and angmohs to, ie bananas, this is a very correct and serious aspiration. When North Korea denuclearized, Asia will be free of nuclear weapons. I know, some of you will be screaming ‘stupidity has no cure’ before finished reading my first sentence.
 
For the angmohs and angmohs to be, only North Korea has nuclear weapons. They are blind to see that many angmoh countries have nuclear weapons. They did not know that Japan has nuclear weapons. They did not know that the Americans are flooding Asia with nuclear weapons in their colonies like Japan and South Korea and little USAs when their nuclear subs, nuclear armed gunboats and aircraft carriers parked in their docks. They did not want to know that the Americans have hundreds of nuclear weapons in Diego Garcia, in Guam and many of their more than 1,000 military bases all over the world, including Asia.
 
How would the denuclearization of North Korea make Asia nuclear free? Please don’t ask me, this is just the stupid’s way of looking at their deluded reality. And the whole Trump Kim Summit is about denuclearization, but no one bothers to ask the Americans to denuclearize. And the Americans are going to build more sophisticated and deadly nuclear weapons to add on to their hoards of nuclear weapons. Wait a minute, why no one thinks it is important to ask the Americans to denuclearize as well? Why must North Korea denuclearized and not the Americans or other western countries to denuclearize?
 
Why is it that the world would be a safer place when North Korea denuclearized while the evil Empire and other western nuclear powers, including Israel and Japan continue to possess many more nuclear weapons than North Korea? Is there anything wrong with this warp view that only the North Korea must denuclearize for the world to be safe from nuclear weapons and wars?
 
Which country has been threatening to use its nuclear weapons on other countries? Is it not that this country is the most dangerous, even threatening to nuke North Korea first while North Korea is saying that it would only use its nuclear weapons to defend itself from being nuked by this hostile and belligerent country?
 
What is this madness all about? It is about stupidity, about Asian stupidity. I can’t blame the westerners from having this one sided view that it is all right for them to possess all the nuclear weapons and Asians cannot do so. It is in their interest and their way to control and dominate the world. But for silly Asians to have the same view is preposterous. How stupid can Asians be to be singing the same chorus made up by the western powers? And the best part, they did not know what they are saying or why this is not wrong. To them this is the natural order of things, that the West should have all the nuclear weapons and to rule the world, including ruling the Asians.
 
This is the same as the American hype about China militarizing their little islands in the South China Sea. For the few batteries of anti aircraft and anti ship missiles, the Americans are painting a picture that this is a threat to the world. Does any of the idiots ever asked how many nuclear tipped missiles the Americans have stored in the silos in Diego Garcia and Guam islands, in Okinawa and other American naval bases in the western Pacific Ocean?
 
Why no one is jumping up and down when the Americans are militarizing the whole world, the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean? An American aircraft carrier would have hundreds of times of weapons more than all the weapons in the Chinese islands in South China Sea. When the Americans sail these highly armed floating islands in South China Sea, filled with nuclear weapons, no one is complaining about militarization. Even a destroyer or frigate would have as much destructive power as the weapons in the Chinese islands. But no one is making any noise about the Americans militarizing the South China Sea, not the stupid Asians, not the angmohs to be. The Americans can militarise anywhere, everywhere, it is acceptable, the norm. They strut around with nuclear weapons hanging on their necks threatening everyone to accept them as the hegemon.
Can there be a nuclear free Asia or a nuclear free world?
 
Stupidity has no cure.

White European Americans continuing killing spree of Native Americans and non-whites

This article is a follow up to Redbean's article yesterday, 06-06-2018. asking Pompeo to declare how many native American Indians and African Americans have white European invaders killed in the last few hundred years.

PART     ONE

The European Americans continuous killings and murders of non-white people have been going on for the last four or five hundred years. They have exterminated about 85 million native Americans , followed by killings of African Americans, the Mexicans and the mass lynching and killing of Chinese Americans. Now they are starting wars everywhere killing by the millions in Middle-East, Africa, Asia and South America.

When Christopher Columbus, the European pirate chief and representative of of the Spanish crown and Catholic faith first set foot in the new world on 12th October, 1492, it was viewed as the beginning of the long road of persecution and genocide of native American. Every year on this day of 12th October, native American Indians all over the Americas will hold a symbolic trial of Christopher Columbus that will end with the symbolic execution of his effigy for crimes committed during the conquest of America. He faced multiple charges such as genocide and slave trafficking as well as robbery and plunder. Throughout the Americas the native Indians view his arrival in 1492 as the start of five centuries of oppression and suppression by white men.Earlier in September 2016 , I had in Redbeanforum - Global Affairs described in some details in four parts , Part 1 to Part 4 , about how the Christian Europeans systematically planned their massacre and extermination of the natives from 1603 to 1960s on the premise that the natives are savages who do not deserve the rich and resourceful lands which their Christian God had meant for white men.         

Below are some random brief descriptions of  the tragedies and sufferings of native American Indians and others at the merciless and satanic hands of the European marauders.

The natives were used as slaves by both the British and the French invaders.Subsequently when the British and the French were indulged in the fight and struggle for supremacy to control North America they recruited the natives to fight in their colonial wars. The natives were sacrificed as gun fodder by the British and the French and they died in their thousands.

After its independence in 1975 , US began to harass the native self-governing Indian states by forcing them to move to the West. This force removal in 1828 known as the 'The Trail of Tears'  was carried out by President Andrew Jackson, one of America's most cruel anti-non-white presidents. In 1838 about 20,000 Cherokee tribes in the southern states were forced to walk to barren desert lands earmarked as Indian Reserve Territory in the west. They suffered great hardship under brutal conditions for they were not given any food or water . Over six thousand natives died in the forced march of the 'Trail of Tears.'

As more and more prime native lands were acquired by the whites for cotton growing - a cash crop at the time more tribes were uprooted and forcibly removed to the west Some of the Indian tribes removed were the Cherokees, Choctaws, Chicasaws, Creeks,and Seminoles. Any resistance aqainst removal was brutally put down. A Cherokee tribal chief, John Ross was murdered. The Choctaws were forced to move in1831. The Creeks were removed westward in 1837. The Seminoles of Florida were removed from Florida in 1857. All were moved to the west in what is now the present state of Oklahoma.

In 1834 the natives suffered further deprivation. Under the Indian Reorganization Act the whites exercised even more rigid and inhuman control over Indian Tribal Affairs. In 1887 under the Dawes Act Indian children were forcibly removed from their parents . Almost all the children were intentionally starved to death. ( This horrible practice was similarly carried out by the whites in Australia against the aborigines to decimate their population.) By end of 1900s more than two thirds of Indian lands were taken away. The native Sioux tribes under their chief Big Foot who together with his warriors were having peace talks negotiating with US army officers. However without warning US troops suddenly fired endlessly into tribal camps killing Chief Sitting Bull and Big Foot together with about five or six hundred of their unarmed warriors, including men, women and children in the most gruesome and brutal massacre.

In 29th December, 1890, white men carried out one of the most brutal massacres of unarmed native civillians. The massacre took place at the Dakota Indian Reservations and was eventually known as "Massacre At Wounded Knee." 

From1900s to 1950s under the Relocation Act thousands of Indians were moved to cities on a one way traffic with no chance of going back to their tribal lands. In the cities the Indians were put in inhuman shabby quarters and were forced to work in  very low wage jobs. Eventually all the tribal lands were privatised and acquired by white men under only white ownership.

PART     Two

US Massacre of African Americans.

In 1816 President Andrew Jackson who was then an army general massacred hundreds of African American militia in his conquest of Florida.

The massacre of American negros were just as often and frequent as the massacre of native Americans. Suffice here to just mention a few of the most wanton killings and murders of African Americans.

The Fort Pillow Massacre.

On 12th April, 1864 white soldiers shot and killed hundreds of unarmed negro soldiers who fought for the Union.On 13th April, 1873 about one hundred or more of African Americans were shot in cold blood in a local court house in Colfax, Louisiana. Inj 1874 in New Orleans supreme court justice Joseph P. Bradley overturned rulings against three convictions of white massacre perpetrators and in silence gave full support to Ku Klux Klan to legalise murders of negros.In 1876 , Bradley's ruling was upheld by Federal supreme court.

The Rio Negro Massacres.

Between 1980 to 1982 more than 5000 negros were shot when they held a peaceful demonstration against the building of a Chixoy hydroelectric dam in their precints which was financed by Inter American Development Bank.

The Tulsa Massacre of thousands of negros.

During the Tulsa race riot from may 31st to 1st June, 1921, white mobs ran rampage killing tens of thousands of African Americans . Blacks houses were set on fire and more than 15,000 blacks were made homeless. 

The Tulsa massacre of blacks were omitted from local and state histories Neither the state government nor the Federal government compensated the negros for their losses in human lives and properties. During these Tulsa riots black men, women and children were brutally killed by murderous mobs of white civillians, local police and national guardsmen.

The only reason Tulsa blacks were killed was because they were very enterprising and successful  of being able to build a separate and prosperous independent community and because they dared to dream . 

Between 1824 and 1952 over 300 events were classified as "White Race Riots " in which white communities turned on and destroyed entire black communities.

Massacre of Chinese Americans in 1q871.

On October 24th 1871 , a mob of 500 white hooligans entered Los Angeles China Town and began to attack , rob and murder Chinese residents. Hundreds of Chinese were cornered and killed. The Chinese were systematically killed by the mob making China Town massacre the largest incident of mass lynching in American history.

None of the massacre perpetrators were convicted . 

The white American government owes the Chinese a debt of blood which has yet to be paid.

The mass removal of natives to the west and the mass killings , genocide and mass mob lynching of American natives, African Americans and Chinese Americans were either official state policy or state supported with white soldiers and police playing a major or leading part.

The oppression and suppression of non-whites is continuing right to this day of the 21st century. 

NB : I hope netizens will help to expose the evils that are inherent in white American and European countries by whenever possible copy, paste and forward  informative articles to friends and relatives all over the world so as to debunk their lies , fake and distorted news and information as well as toxic propaganda. This must be done because over 90 percent of the world's mass media is controlled and monopolised by US and its western allies and that includes the mass media in Singapore and South East Asia ASEAN countries.
