US Lies & Hubris At APEC Dialogue AT Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea. PART Two

All the lies Pence said about China are exactly what US and its Western allies have been imposing on Third World countries for decades . US will ease itself into the favour of selected third world governments and select high profile projects which it promised to help with technical and financial aid. US economic hitman will select a project and magnify or jack up the value of the project many times unrealistically high. ( Read John Pilger's book on US Economic Hitman and learn how US cheated and bankrupted many Third World countries to enrich itself and greatly impoverished the citizens of the victimised countries other than a few well connected corrupted local officers.)  Say a project is worth only one hundred million dollars. The economic hitman will convince the president and the government of the victimise country that the cost value of the project is ten billion dollars. By the way American aids and loans have stringent strings of  conditions attached usually to the disavantage of the recipient countries but to the great benefit of US. A large percentage of the ten billion dollars will go into the payment of endless numbers of US consultants and technicians as  fees and salaries. Another big portion will go into putting up buildings to house US technicians and officers and as payment for exaggerated high operating cost. Still a big portion will go into importing all the materials and machineries  from related US companies from US for the said project. In the end most of the ten billion dollars will go back to USA though a little will find its way into the pockets of the victimise country's president and his senior officers to rub their mouth to ensure their cooperation. The end result is that US takes back most of the money while the victimise country is impoverished and its people and citizens got to bear the burden of paying the endless balloon debt forever, As a trade off US will demand grant of military bases to US as part of the debt payment. This definitely compromised the victimise country's sovereignty where US exercise extra territorial rights  with the fearsome military backing behind.

Thus we see Pence like all other white men always speaks with fork tongues and cannot be trusted as when he said, "Do not accept foreign debt that could compromise your sovereignty. Protect your interest." US always psycho and arm twisted countries to accept inflated loans under the watchful eye of CIA  and the military.

Pence tried to stoke trouble in the South China Sea. he said, "The US will continue to upheld the freedom of the seas and the skies which are so essential to our prosperity." Before US pivot to East Asia in 2010,  there was peace and tranquility in the South China Sea. After US pivot in 2010 US incessantly stoke up trouble and tried to create tensions and animosity between
China and the South China Sea littoral states. China has not and will never stop any legitimate ship on its passage through the South China Sea. But US warships and super bombers sailing and flying close to Chinese coast and sovereign territotial islands are provocative and do not constitute normal legitimate sailing or flight over South China Sea air space.

China does not impose a "Monroe Doctrine" in the South China Sea or East China Sea to prevent others from the region. That was what US did with the" Declaration of the Monroe Doctrine" to stop and prevent other countries from the Central and South America regions for trade,other than through US strict control . "All exports and imports in the two regions must be conducted through United States. Thus US has been exercising extra territorial rights in Central and south America during the last one hundred sixty years since 1850s and compromised the sovereignty of all the countries in the region. In the meantime US has been raking in hundreds of  billions of dollars in illegal and illicit collections through its monopolistic control of the trading system.

Pence said, "We will continue to fly and sail wherever international law allows and our national interest demands." US treats all international laws with derision if they do not suit her agenda. US didn't even bother to sign the United Nations International Laws of the Seas in 1986 even though the rules were initiated and formulated by US. The laws are meant for others to follow U dictates and US is not bound by it. On hindsight the UNILS are formulated by US to hamstrung China from exercising its sovereignty over her territorial islands in the South China Sea and to create trouble and disputes between China and the neighbouring countries bordering the South China Sea.

What is Pence intention in declaring, "US will upgrade its naval base on Papua New Guinea's Manus Island."  Why must US have a military base in Papua New Guinea  other than for intimidation and aggression. The US military base in Papua New Guinea poses a threat to Indonesia, the Philippines and other Asian countries.

Pence claims US promotes a civil society, the rule of law, transparent and accountable government. What kind of civil society does US have? Every day all over US hundreds of non-whites citizens are being killed or ill treated by the police . There is frequent civil unrest all over US in protesting demonstrations over unfair laws against native, Mexican and African Americans or bias and unfair treatment by the police. There is  discrimination in employment opportunity against the non-whites. If US can ill treat its own non-white citizens, shoot them and kill them at will and random at the whims of its police force what more can people of other countries under US control fare or hope to expect justice from a white supremacist dictatorship.

What is US rule of law when US white government can illegally deport non white citizens especially the African and Mexican Americans under spurious reasons and putting them and their children in cages before deportation. That is  so much for their high ground talk of human rights. Pence talk of transparent and accountable government is all humbug and hubris. How transparent is US in leaving its mostly non white populated Puerto Rico in dire straits after hurricane disaster. Why is US still occupying a piece of Cuba's land in Guantanamo as a penal and military base where thousands of foreigners are kept in close tight prisons. The military base in Guantanamo poses a constant threat to central and South American countries. It is US base of intimidation and aggression. The base is an infringement of Cuba's sovereignty . Guantanamo was supposed to be returned to Cuba in the Barack Obama's administration. Why up to now it is not returned to Cuba? So white men really speak with fork tongues and cannot be trusted.

What democracy is US practising?  What kind of human rights is it talking? And how transparent is its government when they have one law for whites and one malevolent law for non-whites. How civil is the US government , how transparent is it and what human rights is it talking when money from welfare for the poor mostly non-whites is taken away and siphoned of to the military for its illegal and illicit wars of aggression against countries which do not toe US dictates.

US statesmen and politicians and military strongmen talks in overseas forums or assemblies is just unabash lies and poisonous propaganda with underliying subtle threats to countries which do not agree with US dictatorship and or foreign policy.

Another white lie - Every nation is free to follow their own path...

Below is a quote from Mike Pence, US Vice President as reported in CNA.

“The US seeks an Indo-Pacific where every nation is free to follow their own path, pursue its own interest, where the seas and skies are open to all engaged in a peaceful activity and where sovereign nations grow stronger together,” he added. “Our vision excludes no nation, requiring only that every nation treat their neighbours with respect.” Did the Americans respect anyone, even the UN is being ignored, the ICJ also rejected when they ruled against the Americans.

This is a typical white lie the Americans have been spreading. Every country is free to choose their path, pursue their own interest, blah blah blah. But they cannot choose communism, they cannot buy oil without using the US dollar, they must practise democracy the American way, they must buy weapons from the Americans, they must do as told by the Americans. This is what the Americans meant by being free.

If that is too difficult to understand, why can't countries choose their own forms of govt, of ideologies, why must they be dictated by the Americans?

Look at what had happened to Iraq and Libya? What were their crimes against the Evil Empire? Because they want to sell their oil using other currencies other than the American dollars. And they were invaded and the two presidents were killed.

And the Americans invaded Syria to conduct regime change to overthrow a leader chosen by the Syrians. Did the Evil Americans allow the Syrians to be free to choose their path? What about the Palestinians?

Do the Americans allow China to follow its own path in development, in development its own political system? What about North Korea? Can North Korea choose its own path to progress and development?

Do the South Koreans and Japan have a right to run their own countries and be independent of the Americans, to tell the Americans to leave their military bases in their countries?

How much more nonsense must the world be made to swallow the lies of the Americans and suck up to them and be under the control of the Evil American Empire? Would Pence dare to make the same speech to the Middle East countries they invaded and destroyed for wanting to choose their own path, do their own things, freedom to choose?

What freedom of choice is this white liar talking about?

And the USA never coerce anyone. They just do regime change. They just invade countries. They just imposed sanctions. They sent warships to provoke and intimate countries. These are the virtues of the Evil Empire. The menace of the USA is indescribable. 

Can Singapore or any Asean state choose to be closer and friendlier with China?

USA Lies And Hubris At APEC Dialogue At Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea PART ONE.

    As usual US VP Pence like all American politicians speaking at international forums tried to sell snake oil to the leaders of other countries present. He is paddling cheap lies and laughable propaganda.

He claimed that USA can provide better development financing  than China's undertaking in the Belt And Road Infrastructure . After exploiting and taking freely all the rich resources from Africa, South America and the Pacific Islanders for hundreds of years US and its European imperialist allies ignored these territories totally after they gained independence post Second World War. Only when they see the fruit of China's sincere help in developing and building the economy of these third world countries both technically and financially they look at the whole Chinese help with jaundiced eyes. Is their pledge now to help sincere or is it just  to thwart China's noteworthy economic and financial help so as to cause it to fail and thus to discredit China's effort.

In reality all previous American help to third world countries was nothing but building a sea of debt or a debt trap in which they can never end paying to the US. Just read John Pilger's book "The Economic Hitman" to get the full picture of how America mercilessly exploited third world countries to only benefit and enrich America but completely impoverished the victimised third world countries.

Pence said,  "We don't coerce or compromise your independence". Like all American statesmen he is consciously and playfully suffering from slanted political dementia that suits USA agenda. He might forget how Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Guam, some Pacific Ocean island kingdoms and Diego Garcia lost their independence to US but definitely the victimised countries will never forget.  Hundreds of thousands of brave Hawaiians were killed in their resistance to US armed agggression , 1895-1905. Now Hawaii is flooded with white Americans. The Americans may have annexed Hawaii but the proud Hawaiians will never stop fighting for their independence. The same goes for Guam and Diego Garcia in which the previous island owners were illegally and forcefully evicted from their countries to make way for American military bases. The Philippines was formerly invaded by US in 1898 under the pretext of helping the Filippinos to drive out the Spanish imperialist . But after defeating the Spaniards the Americans refused to leave the Philippines . The Philippines would not accept changing from a white Spanish overlord to a white American overlord. They resisted and fought off the Americans. Hundreds of thousands of Filippinos were killed and mercilessly slaughtered. They succumed to superior armed Americans. The Filippinos only gained their independence after the Second World War when the Americans unwillingly granted it out of desperation and fear of defeat from a determined and proud Filippino people who could expect help from Russia and other freedom loving countries. The native Americans warn us that "White men speak with fork tongues and can never be trusted " is true.

In sniping at China's Belt and Road Infrastruture development Pence said, "We do not offer a constricting belt or a one way road." He ignores the many constricting rings of over a thousand US military bases around the world threatening countries big or small and coercing others to toe US dictatorship rules and malevolence governance.

B&R Infrastruture projects were signed by parties as equal partners through talks, discussions and negotiations unlike US and its western allies in using force and arm twisting to take over other weaker countries and do what they want in exploiting and taking all the wealth and resources for free at gun point. US is now terrorising the Middle East to get its oil, gas and other minemeral resources. The same is happening in South America and Central America. But when countries involved in the B&R projects misused funds for the project for other unknown purposes it is not the fault of China because China unlike the US and the West does not interfere in their internal affairs.

Pence claimed "USA has principled approach to finance infrastructure projects in the region."  This is yet another open and shameless lie. US bankrupted many Third World countries, eg Argentina, Venezuella, Haiti, Indonesia and the Philippines to just mention a few, forcing them to compromise their sovereignty by ceding ports for their military bases, Those who refuse to toe the US line will always be sanctioned and bullied.

US weaponised the US controlled Petrodollar and subject others to US economic colonialism to rob and exploit thrhough illegal and illicit sanctions. Using the Petrodollar as a weapon is criminal in nature. The petrodollar must be brought down and eventually demolished.

Asean Meeting is about angkat Mahathir

The recent Asean Meeting with the big powers is about praising Mahathir and carrying his balls. The rest are just side shows, irrelevant.
Read this as posted in theindependent website and it tells succinctly what the whole meeting was all about.

'This past Monday, Dr Mahathir and his wife Dr Siti Hasmah arrived in Singapore for a 2-day official visit, at the invitation of Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong. Besides meeting PM Lee and his wife Ho Ching, President Halimah Yaacob and Emeritus Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong, Dr Mahathir and his wife also had an orchid named after them.

One of the highlights of the official visit was NUS’ conferral of honorary doctorates to Dr Mahathir and Dr Siti Hasmah. Dr Mahathir studied medicine at NUS in Singapore for about six years in his younger days. NUS is his wife’s alma mater, as well.'

I dunno who is the silly bugger that formulated this angkat Mahathir exercise and dunno what they want to achieve. And they think Mahathir is so easy to angkat, to flatter and taken in and to appreciate and reciprocate kindness with kindness? This shows how shallow and lack of understanding of who Mahathir is. Mahathir is a willy old fox with very set mindset on what he wants to do and nothing is going to change him once he decided.  He will demand his price for his water, build his third national car and to build his crooked bridge come what may.

To me, the easiest way to deal with Mahathir is time, playing with time. Time is something that is against Mahathir. The max he has is less than 2 years before passing the premiership to Anwar. And in all likelihood he may be called to his maker anytime, today or tomorrow or the day after. Just play with him, negotiate with him, talk to him until the cow comes home, but not agreeing politely, postpone, delay, will check with the boss, will call back. Set the next meeting as long as one possibly can, needs time to study the details, to check the legal and political implications etc etc. Just wait for him to go.

The angkat Mahathir exercise is so amateurish and Mahathir must be laughing himself insane. How these boys are trying to please him, to make him happy, make him feel big and important is incredible.

This is so unbelieveable, so childish in diplomacy. A little flattery may be tolerable and amusing, but over doing it is something else.

What do you think Mahathir would be thinking? What do you think the Malaysians would be thinking? What do you think Singaporeans would be thinking?

Punch above our weight or go down on bended knees?

Wildlife in Sin City

Singapore is such a safe and peaceful city to the point of being boring. The wildlife here were those behind bars, to be kept at a safe distance. They are wildlife after all. But the bored citizens would amuse themselves with some pet dogs, pet birds and pet fishes, like the thousand dollar carps in district 9, 10 and 11. The owners feel very safe, the pets are also safe.
 
Then things happened. A crocodile was spotted in Sungei Buloh and it caused a stir, so much attention. Then a family of otters was also found there, a few hornbills, and wild boars around the reservoirs. The people got so excited with the wild life. They have not seen them in their entire life and found them so novel and charming in their own ways. They are so nice, cannot possibly cause any harm here. Everyone was endeared to them. I took many photos of the croc, the hornbills and the otters in Sungei Buloh.  They even commissioned David Attenborough to do a special series on the wildlife in Sin City.
 
And because life is good in Singapore, the new migrants started to multiply. Otters were everywhere, even in the city and canals. Hornbills became accustomed to HDB flats. Have yet to see the crocodiles outside Sungei Buloh. Oh, I forgot, the monkies are still in Bukit Timah and MacRitchie Reservoir area. The only nuisance was the crows. With their increasing numbers some even attacked people. Fortunately their wild behavior led to their termination and not many were found in the city anymore. Some have become PRs in Sungei Buloh and attacking the smaller birds, the local residents.
 
The latest, hornbills attacked pet birds hanging outside HDB flats and devoured the pet birds, and eating fruits planted on the corridors. Otters sneaked into private ponds to eat the thousand dollar pet carps. Wild boars digging into gardens and destroying the manicured parks and paths. Some even attacked people in their path.
 
This is only natural. When they grow in numbers, not only that they have to compete for food, they grow in confidence, and knowing that the citizens are harmless and hapless, they would attack, applying the law of the jungle, the fittest shall survive. The locals had no chance against the wildlife that had made this city their permanent residence. They are bigger, fiercer, hungrier and still have the wild instinct of survival.
 
How long would it last before the locals got terminated and replaced by the foreign wildlife? I mean how long would the local wildlife be made extinct or forced to migrate elsewhere and their habitat, their homes, be taken away from them when the foreign wildlife make this their new home, when their number grows and become a majority here?
 
The pet birds in HDB flats are fearing for their life. How about the rich carps in district 9, 10 and 11? Do they feel safe within the confines of their walls and fence, that the wildlife would leave them alone?
