Let’s talk massacres part I

Since the Americans are so happy to talk about Tiananmen Massacre as if the Americans were angels, never commit any massacre, let’s take a look at the Americans massacre records that they have recorded, not inclusive of the massacres in Japan, Korea, Vietnam and the Middle East.
 
Here is a list of the 10 Horrific Native American Massacres in listverse.com
 
The first 100 years or so of the United States’ existence was filled with travesties like the Civil War and the enormous slave trade which flourished in the South. In addition, manifest destiny and the inherent racism involved with the “white man’s burden” led to a number of horrible massacres of the Native American population. Some are well-known, like the Wounded Knee Massacre, but there are other terrible examples that we shouldn’t forget.
 
10 Sand Creek Massacre
 
At Sand Creek in the Colorado territory in 1864, the Cheyenne village of around 800 was supposed to be protected territory. Chief Black Kettle had brokered a deal with a nearby US Army fort for his people’s safety, but this proved to be an outright lie.
 
Colonel John Chivington had decided that winning battles against local Native American tribes was the best way to become a territorial delegate to Congress. When spring 1864 proved fruitless for battle, he used a 700-volunteer militia to burn Native American villages.
 
On November 29, just one day after Black Kettle’s deal, the Colorado Volunteers attacked Sand Creek. Nearly all the Cheyenne men were out hunting, leaving the women, children, and elders with no one to protect them. Between 100 and 400 Native Americans were slaughtered.
 
Although Chivington was denounced by much of the country, he was never formally charged with anything.
 
9 Camp Grant Massacre
 
Shortly after the start of President Ulysses S. Grant’s “Peace Policy” toward Native Americans, the Camp Grant Massacre occurred in southern Arizona on April 30, 1871. The local Apache had recently agreed to live at Camp Grant via an order by Lieutenant Royal E. Whitman, who also pledged to provide the tribe with food.
 
Unfortunately, public opinion turned against the military in Arizona, declaring them unable to protect the territory’s citizens. A handful of Americans, some Mexicans, and some rival Native American tribesmen sneaked up on the peaceful village in the middle of the night.
 
Most of those killed were women and children because the men were out hunting for food. The perpetrators of the massacre had used unfounded claims of Apache depredations to justify murder. Although 104 men were charged with murder, all were acquitted at trial.
8 1860 Wiyot Massacre
 
In an act of genocide on a small tribe, the Wiyot Massacre took place on February 26, 1860. (Smaller attacks on the Wiyot tribe took place later that week.)
 
For at least 1,000 years, the tribe had lived off the northern coast of California on what is now called Indian Island. The peaceful Wiyot had just completed their annual world renewal ceremony, marking the start of their new year.
 
The men were out gathering supplies when a small group of white men crossed Humboldt Bay and slaughtered women, children, and the elderly. From 60 to 200 people died.
 
The local sheriff lied, citing revenge for cattle rustling as the reason. In reality, a local militia wished to be federally recognized as a state militia to receive money from the government. The militia leader believed that massacring local tribes would accomplish that goal, but it didn’t work.
 
7 Bridge Gulch Massacre
 
The Bridge Gulch Massacre against the Wintu tribe of northern California took place on April 23, 1852. Shortly before the attack, a man named John Anderson was killed, with his riderless mule returning to a nearby corral. Nearly 70 men set out after the perpetrators, who were reportedly members of the Wintu tribe, though they were of a different band than the ones who were brutally murdered.
 
Surrounding a part of the small valley known as Bridge Gulch, the men attacked early in the morning, shooting nearly every man, woman, and child they saw. Over 150 Native Americans were killed, and only two small girls survived. They were taken back to the town and “adopted” by white parents.
 
6 Cypress Hills Massacre
 
One of the driving forces behind the creation of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, the Cypress Hills Massacre took place in 1873 in what is now Saskatchewan. People of the First Nations had occupied the territory for thousands of years. Meanwhile, Montana fur traders had recently set up trading posts in the area, with tensions rising as the traders’ stocks began to dwindle.
 
Eventually, some disgruntled wolf hunters arrived, tired from tracking another Native American tribe who were supposedly horse thieves. When another horse went missing, the Assiniboine tribe was blamed.
 
The drunken Americans went to take one of the tribe’s horses as payment, but a handful of the Assiniboine, drunk as well, challenged them to a fight. The Americans slaughtered the Assiniboine, killing at least 20 of them.
 
Canadian officials tried in vain to prosecute those responsible, managing to capture three of them while they were still in Canada. But they were acquitted due to a lack of evidence.
 
5 Three Knolls Massacre
 
By 1865, the Yana tribe’s population had dwindled to fewer than 100 in northern California around Lassen Peak. After the murders of several nearby white people during a raid, hunters tracked the culprits to Three Knolls, where the Native Americans slept.
 
Determined to rid the area of any remaining natives, the settlers attacked, killing dozens of Native Americans. Only a handful escaped.
 
A Yana tribesman named Ishi was present at the massacre as a small child, and he and his family eventually hid in some nearby mountains for almost 40 years. 1n 1911, he emerged as a frail, elderly man—the last of his people—to tell his fantastical story.
 
4 Marias Massacre
 
The deadliest massacre of Native Americans in Montana’s history was a mistake. Colonel Eugene Baker had been sent by the government to “pacify” a rebellious band of the Blackfeet tribe.
 
Eventually, Baker’s men tracked the tribe to a village along the Marias River. On January 23, 1870, the men surrounded the village and prepared to attack.
 
But a scout recognized some of the painted designs on the lodges and reported to Baker that this was the wrong band. Baker replied, “That makes no difference, one band or another of them; they are all [Blackfeet] and we will attack them.”
 
Most of the Native American men were out hunting, so the majority of the 173 massacred were women, children, and the elderly. When Baker discovered that the survivors had smallpox, he abandoned them in the wilderness without food or shelter, increasing the death toll by 140.
 
3 Yontocket Massacre
 
The Tolowa people laid claim to territories in northwestern California and southern Oregon that were continuously encroached upon by white settlers. By 1853, a “war of extermination” had been going on for a while, with settlers forming makeshift militias and slaughtering any Native Americans they encountered.
 
In the fall of that year, the Tolowa and other tribes came together to pray at Yontocket, the spiritual center of their universe, and to perform the world renewal dance. Unknown to them, a group of white people, led by J.M. Peters, was slowly creeping upon the camp.
 
Surrounding the Tolowa, the men began firing, indiscriminately slaughtering everyone in sight. Peters, who lost no men during the massacre, reportedly said that “scarcely an Indian was left alive.” By the end of the violence, hundreds of people had been killed.
 
2 Clear Lake Massacre
 
An island in Clear Lake, California, was renamed Bloody Island after the massacre of the indigenous Pomo tribe there in 1850. Thanks to severe mistreatment, including rape and murder, at the hands of white men who had taken various members of the tribe as slaves, the Pomo people attacked, killing two men and escaping to a nearby lake.
 
Captain Nathaniel Lyon, a soldier in the US Cavalry, and other men set off into the woods to find the offending tribe. The men discovered the hidden camp a short time later.
 
After failing to successfully reach the tribe, which had taken refuge on an island in the lake, the soldiers built a handful of boats, loaded them with cannons, and attacked. From 100 to 400 Native Americans were killed.
A local newspaper originally declared the massacre to be tantamount to state-sponsored genocide but reversed course four days later, calling it a “greatly exaggerated” story.
 
1 Bear River Massacre
 
Perhaps the deadliest massacre of Native Americans in US history, the Bear River Massacre has remained in obscurity largely because it occurred during the Civil War. The Northern Shoshone called present-day southeastern Idaho home, and it was there that they were attacked.
 
Mormon settlers had been progressively taking more land from the Native Americans, appropriating nearly all of the arable territory. Striking back at those stealing their land, the Shoshone soon saw themselves in the crosshairs of Colonel Patrick Connor and 200 California Volunteers, who vowed to take no prisoners.
 
At daybreak on January 29, 1863, the soldiers attacked, brutally killing nearly 250 Native Americans. They raped any women who hadn’t been killed, used axes to crush the skulls of the wounded, and set fire to all the lodges.

The above 10 horrific massacres were lies, white lies. Not that they did not happen. These events were peanuts in the Singapore expression if you know what and how they massacred the Red Indians. Oh, they raised it to the highest level, called genocide. See part II

First test of fake news in the news

A diplomatic faux pas between Singapore on one side and Vietnam and Cambodia on the other side seems to be brewing with both sides saying different things on the Vietnamese presence in Cambodia. Hsien Loong said it was an invasion of Cambodia by Vietnam. The Vietnamese said they were there to liberate the Cambodians from the Khmer Rouges. The Cambodians chipped in to say they appreciated the Vietnamese presence and to prevent the massacre of the Cambodians by the Khmer Rouges. The Vietnamese and Cambodians are asking Hsien Loong to apologise for saying something they don't see as their truth.

Some quarters in the opposition parties have raised this issue and calling for Hsien Loong to apologise for making a false statement or a fake news or alternative truth. Who is telling the truth and who is spreading false or fake news? The Vietnamese and cambodians are sticking to their version of the truth. Hsien Loong is sticking to his Singaporean truth.

Can both sides be telling the truth or one side is telling truth and one side is telling fake news? How would this stand under our POFMA? I am very sure if this case appears in our courts it would definitely be in Hsien Loong's favour and the other side be judged as making false news and vice versa. What would Shanmugam said, Hsien Loong spreading fake news or the Cambodians and Vietnamese spreading fake news?

Is fake news so easy to judge? And in this case if one party is wrong for spreading fake news, it would mean that govt or national leaders can be spreading fake news. Actually the answer is so obvious. It all depends on who is saying it and in which country and what they would want to believe. Hmmm, does it mean that the truth is subjective or fake news is subjective? Remember that every country is writing their own history, and Singapore's history is British Empire history?

What do you think? While so many that are here, with Matilah the cheer leader, are in agreement with what was said in Parliament, that CPF is not our money, many, including me, would say CPF is our money. Am I spreading fake news, or what transpired or uttered in Parliament was fake news?

Now that POFMA is law, the party that is making false or fake news can be charged. Can those who shared my view that CPF is our money be charged for spreading fake news? The answer is no, parliamentary privilege, can say anything in parliament and cannot be charged, unless...

Yamato - Live by the sword, die by the sword

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKROConWAHE

A very well produced sinking of Yamato at the end of WW2, depicting the last few minutes of the lives of Japanese soldiers and the pain, suffering and agony they went through, exactly like the American soldiers in Hawaii when attacked by them. Just retribution.

The attack scene is a good reminder for the crews of American carriers today, when they are attacked by waves and waves of fighter bombers, and missiles, and all they could do was to be sitting ducks.

The war demons in their aircraft carriers only think of attacking others with immunity, hitting others when others could not hit back, until the day they, the predators, become the victims and suffer the equally savage attacks and be bashed to pieces. The fate of all aircraft carrier soldiers would be the same as in this short 15 minute clips, live by the sword, die by the sword. Three Japanese aircraft carriers were sunk in the battle of Midway with all on board blown to pieces.

It is very enjoyable and satisfying to see the hunters became the hunted, the predators became the hapless prey, to be devoured like they devoured their victims. The Japanese butchers were butchered by the Americans.

RIP American boys and girls of Pearl Harbour, Hawaii.

This is the clip on the attack of Pearl Harbour by the Japanese, the devastating destruction of the American fleet with the Americans half asleep. 7 minutes of sheer agony under the merciless Japanese fighter bombers.

CPF Medishield Life Horror Show

Last GE, Minister of Health was going to give power to the govt to take money directly from your bank account if you fail to top up your Medishield Life. Many people think it is just for show and still voted PAP overwhelming. 4 years after the regulation made mandatory, it is going into enforcement.
We have many people telling social media how their money in the bank was deducted without consent and to find out they were deducted by CPF for Medishield Life. We also have another group saying CPF suka suka arrowed them to be the top up for their direct family members or distant relatives without their consent. And the arrangementauto mated without their consent too!

Posted by DuGu QiuBai in the TRE

Is the above true? How many of you have experienced your money in your bank account, not CPF account being deducted by CPF for MedishieldLife? I must agree that this is really frightening. When my Medisave Account is depleted, at the moment CPF is deducting from it to pay for my MedishieldLife, the first thing I would do is to withdraw every cent from my bank accounts and closed all of them. I cannot allow anyone, not the govt, to have free access to my bank accounts and take what they want and when they like it. This is robbery, taking my money without my consent if it is true. My money is no longer safe in the banks.

I really hope that this is fake news, cannot be true. The govt cannot suka suka legislate to take money from you, money you put into the bank and think it is safe. Horror! 

What is happening in Singapore?  The govt just legislate it as law and make buying of insurance compulsory and the citizens cannot object to it, must pay or become criminals! And the banks too cannot say no to protect the depositors? This type of thing can only happen when your life savings in your CPF is not your money. Matilah laughing in glee, told you so  didn't I?

Singapore is India’s top investor in 2018/9

True to Singapore’s strategy to ride on super power India’s growth engine, with higher rate of growth than China, Singapore has risen to be India’s top investor for year 2018/9. Singapore’s investment was US$16.23b, beating Mauritius, US$8,08b, Netherland, US$3.87b and USA, US$3.14b and Japan’s miserable US$2.97b. Singapore’s investment in India would surely be appreciated by India and hopefully India would not sue Singapore for whatever they are unhappy about. And with the CECA being upgraded and more unemployed Indians getting jobs in Singapore, there would be less reason to do so.
 
Singapore is not only India’s top investor but also the top importer of India’s unemployment, providing hundreds of thousands of jobs for jobless Indians. These two points would bode well for Singapore India relations and for Singapore to hang on the coat tail of India when it becomes the world’s number one superpower in 100 years time. Hopefully we would be able to see this day.
 
How did Singapore find so much money to invest in India? GIC using our CPF money? No, the US$16b came from Walmart which has an office in Singapore. The indigenous part of Singapore’s investment in India is US$230m. Dunno to laugh or to cry. Surely we have a lot more money to invest in India than just US$230m. The Indophiles must work harder to get more money into India to prove their point that India is the best place to put our good money in.
 
If Singapore has any doubts about investing in India, learn from the big western countries like Netherlands, USA and Japan, ploughing billions into the subcontinent. But please don’t touch our CPF, it is for our retirement and many would not live another 100 years to see the fruit of this investment. Maybe those Singaporeans not born yet would be able to see this great and glorious day when their money invested in India would grow 100 folds.
 
Among the reasons quoted for the growth of investments in India are tax treaty for Mauritius and ‘Singapore, with its well established regulatory environment, banking facilities and easier access to funds as well as human resource talent, helps firms create stronger substance’. I can agree with everything said about Singapore but the human resource talent part does not make sense. Singapore is a place of no talent and depending on India to provide all its talent needs. The only way for this to make sense is new citizens from India, now counted as Singapore talents and migrating back to India to provide talents for India.
 
This is double joy for India, sending their unemployed to Singapore to become talents and then sending them back as talents to India. Nice arrangement. Win, win for India.
 
Singapore’s dependence on India as the future is soundly based and Singapore would prosper together with India in the future. Singapura makes a lot of sense. And better still, Indiapore. Singapore got hope.
