Killing of Iranian general - Act of international terrorists

Thousands more US troops were ordered to the Middle East on Friday after the United States assassinated Iran's military mastermind and Tehran promised "severe revenge."

President Donald Trump said top Iranian general Qasem Soleimani was "terminated" when he was on the verge of attacking US diplomats but he insisted that Washington is not seeking to topple Iran's government.

"Soleimani was plotting imminent and sinister attacks on American diplomats and military personnel, but we caught him in the act," Trump said in Florida.

While referring to the key Iranian figure, killed in a US air attack earlier Friday in Iraq's capital Baghdad, as "sick," Trump attempted to lower tensions by insisting that he does not want war with Iran.

"We did not take action to start a war," he said, adding: "We do not seek regime change."

The Washington Examiner called the killing a "great moment for the United States that should be celebrated by all Americans". The Kremlin said the attack "grossly violates international law and should be condemned". The New York Post lead its front page with the headline "Blown Away".

The world's Number One international terrorists have done it again, with impunity, in the killing of an Iranian general in the name of peace. The justification is that the general was planning to attack Americans in Iraq. This kind of hypocritical reasoning is no different from accusing Saddam Hussein of possessing WMD to invade and kill him. The same kind of reason, if not condemned, would give the Americans the right to kill anyone in any country with such fabrication. Kim Jung Un would be next and so would be his generals and many other generals and leaders the American branded as their enemies.

Could Kim Jung Un and the Iranians attack and kill American generals for the same reason as many are plotting to attack their countries? Could the Bolivians, Venezuelans, the Cubans, the Russians and Chinese do the same, kill Americans for the same reason as the Americans are plotting daily to attack them? The Americans and the western media are reporting this as an acceptable way of killing people without condemnation.

Some western media are applauding this heinous crime, despite some American democrats calling it a war crime, and that it is a time for celebration, like celebrating Thanks Giving for the killing of American natives. And all the American lackeys and cronies either keep mum and quietly support the American evil crime without saying a word. This is how low the world has gone, allowing the American terrorists to start wars and killing people all over the world as they pleased, with no condemnation from the UN.

Killing the Iranian general is to prevent war, but a war has just started. This is a declaration of war by the Americans. Just like the invasion of Iraq, started a war and claiming that it was all for peace.

Want more white lies? Should Iran target all the hideous warmongers in Washington that have Arab and Muslim blood in their hands, from George Bush, Obama to Trump, the Pompeos, the Cheneys, the Navarros, the Boltons etc etc?

After this hideous act, the Americans knew that they are in big trouble and are wetting in their pants. They are asking the Iranians to respond proportionately and not an all out attack on any Americans on sight. Here are a few sentences from Yahoo News,

'After the attack, the Americans “resorted to diplomatic measures… on Friday morning”, Rear-Admiral Ali Fadavi told state television that night.

They “even said that if you want to get revenge, get revenge in proportion to what we did”, he said, quoted on the broadcaster’s website....

 But Fadavi said the United States was not in a position “to determine” Iran’s response.

“The Americans must await severe revenge. This revenge will not be limited to Iran,” he said.

“The ‘Resistance Front’, with a vast geography, is ready to materialise this revenge,” he added, referring to Iran’s allies across the Middle East.'

In order to stop the Americans from more of such indiscriminate attacks on Iranians and the Arabs and Muslims, the Iranians and the Resistance Front must be able to strike across the world and attack and kill as many Americans as possible. They need to tell the Americans that they can kill Americans as easily as the Americans killed Arabs and Muslims. Only such a message of violence for violence, a tooth for a tooth, would stop the Americans from more recklessness and killings of Arabs and Muslims.

The Americans would not dare to attack the North Koreans knowing that Kim would hit back with all he got. Iran and Arab and Muslim countries must understand this message. Weakness is an invitation for more attacks by the Americans.

As for Iran, without nuclear weapons to strike at US homeland, Trump is threatening to bomb 52 Iranian sites, including cultural heritage. This is how audacious this international terrorist country is. No condemnation at all from the world, and definitely not from its lackeys and cronies.

Uzbekistan - Target of western smear campaign

Uzbekistan, like all the central landlocked Asian countries are enjoying an unusual economic growth that brought increasing wealth to its people, thanks to the BRI. But such news would not be welcome in the western media. I just saw a brief documentary in CNA, produced by a western reporter by the name of Julia Chapman, highlighting what? Of course not the economic well being and growing prosperity of the Uzbekistanis but the plight of a few rundown villages being resettled and the land being redeveloped.

The main point of the report was that the govt was ruthless and resettled the villages, demolished their dilapidated homes without due care and compensation to them. Is this true? Would any govt moved out their own villagers, demolished their homes without compensation? Even China would compensate its affected residents except that some die die refused to move and had to be moved by minimal force. China must have learnt from Singapore which has been practising resettlement of old settlements in the name of progress. Uzbekistan would only do the same.

Can such resettlements be worse than what is happening in the West Bank, in Golan Height, in Jerusalem? Where were the reports in CNA and western media on the ruthless expulsion of the Palestinians from their historical homeland? Did the Israelis compensate them or care about the welfare of the Palestinians?

Or should the world follow the great examples of the white Europeans when they invaded the Americas and forcefully evicted the natives by killing them and taking over their land, their countries and sent the survivors of their genocide to the wildest land, the poorest land called reservations? How did the Americans conduct their resettlement of the native Indians in America? With tender loving care? Compensating rich fertile land with uninhabitable land, and killing all those that refused to move?

Where were the white conscience, where were the human rights protectors and the crocodile tears?

Are intangible ethos important or GDP numbers?

“In a troubled world, few societies can devote themselves to such intangible ideals, much less act upon them. But here in Singapore, thanks to the heroic efforts of several generations, we can all realistically aspire to live by these values, and turn our vision into reality.”  Lee Hsien Loong

I am pondering over this statement by Hsien Loong in his latest new year message. He acknowledged that the effort and wisdom of several generations of Singaporeans have led us to what we are today. No doubt Singaporeans have come a long way to this state of affluence and hopefully this will continue to go the way of future Singaporeans. We are still having good times and living in prosperity, with some more prosperous and some less prosperous, and a few being left behind, fallen through the cracks. The latter is unavoidable but could be managed more carefully and could be avoided if there is a determined will to do so. We have the money and resources to do it. (I hope so).

How long would our good fortune last? With the influx of wildlife with different mentality and cultures, many inferior, being forced into our midst, would the new mix of Singaporeans be better off than before, to  toughen our will to succeed? Or will the high content of wildlife dilute and weaken the social fabric of Singaporeans and our social ethos? The idiots do not think so, the main reason why they are importing so many without any worries, just to boost up the GDP to justify for the million dollar salaries and high bonuses.

It is very difficult to build to what we have today, like how many families built their fortunes over generations. But it is so easy to destroy everything in one generation or by the irresponsible appearance of a prodigal son. Would Singapore be destroyed by one generation of stupidity of its leaders? We have yet to witness how Singapore would turn out in another few decades ahead and all everyone is saying is that what this govt is doing is good. Really?

The glory of an Empire would burn its last flame, the last flicker could be the brightest, before being snuffed out forever. No empires could see the making of their last days as bad, thinking they were doing their best and everything was right, and the empire would last forever in their good hands. The British Empire in Singapore could not believe that they would be overrun by the Japanese within a few days. The Americans could not believe that they are no longer the uncontested and unchallenged Number One Empire today and are furiously and desperately clinging to their glories for a few more years before being eclipsed for good.

Are we seeing the last few good years of Singapore before the curtain falls? When there are so many wrongs being ignored and even insisted as good, the days of reckoning are near. The moment of death is usually preceded by a few moments of life as if the dying has recovered. The American Empire is in this state of health under Trump, looking like it is great again but could be in its last gasp before the end.

Whither Singapore and Singaporeans?

The stupidity of Arabs is unmatchable

BAGHDAD: Iraqi Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi on Monday (Dec 30) condemned US air strikes on bases of Iranian-backed Iraqi militia, a move that could plunge Iraq further into the heart of a proxy conflict between the United States and Iran.

The US military carried out air strikes on Sunday against the Kataib Hezbollah militia in response to the killing of a US civilian contractor in a rocket attack on an Iraqi military base, officials said.

"The prime minister described the American attack on the Iraqi armed forces as an unacceptable vicious assault that will have dangerous consequences," his office said.

The air strikes will force Iraq to reconsider working with the US-led international coalition against Islamic State, the National Security Council said in a statement.

Iraq's foreign ministry said it would summon the US ambassador in Baghdad to voice Baghdad's disapproval....

"After so many attacks it was important for the president to direct our armed forces to respond in a way that the Iranian regime will understand," US special representative for Iran Brian Hook said in a news briefing.
Iran denies involvement in attacks on US forces and has condemned the air raids as "terrorism".
"This claim without any evidence cannot justify bombing and killing people in violation of international law," Iranian government spokesman Ali Rabiei said.

The above is quoted from a CNA report and reflects the stupidity of the Arabs beyond words. The Iraqis got the cheek to condemn the American attacks on Iranian supported militia in their country? Did they know that their country was invaded by the Americans, their leader Saddam Hussein killed by the Americans and the Americans are still occupying their country as a colony of the American Empire? Why are they not protesting and still stupidly cooperating with the Americans?

And as usual, the so called killing of a US civilian contractor aka American hired gun, was not the work of the Iranians but just a fake excuse by the Americans to launch the attack. What else is new?

The only thing new would be for the stupid Arabs to wake up from their stupidity and know who are their real enemies and start to fight to free their country from foreign aggression and occupation. would this ever happen? Not for another thousand years if the Arabs continue to be conned and lied by the Americans and to think the Americans are there to help them.

The Americans have been sowing discord among the Arabs, killing them, invaded their countries, turning their countries into war zones and helping the Israelis to kill them and taking Arab lands for several decades. The Arabs did not know, cannot see the truth!

Why all the madness in raising taxes, prices and fees

It was announced that the electricity tariffs will increase by 3.5% to 24.24 cents per kwh starting from tomorrow onward. This makes tariffs the highest since December 2014.

SP Group said that the increase is largely due to “higher energy cost compared with the previous quarter”. What is bizarre is that Singapore is overproducing electricity energy.

Realistically, when there is an over supply while demand remains constant, prices should go down. But we have a government that wants to charging higher Tariffs!?

This is not the only area affecting Singaporeans: Public transport fares are at their highest level! GST is inching higher by 28.5%! Yet the salaries of average Singaporeans depressed by opening an inflow flood of cheap labour?

Prabu Ramachandran

The above is posted in TRE. Ask a simple question, why the mad rush to raise prices, taxes and fees?

The answer, no need to think, no need to look further. Don't listen to those idiots that claimed that higher prices or fees are meant to be a lesson on thriftiness. Don't be conned by those that claimed that higher taxes and fares and prices are to help the poor.

The answer, can it be that the govt is short of money? Can it be that there is a big big hole that needs to cover up? If not, why is the govt so desperate in collecting more money? A lot of billions or trillions in the reserves? You believe that? If the govt has so much money, why so desperate to raise taxes and prices and fee and fares? I think, maybe on paper should be like that but in reality the money in hand does not match the money on paper. So die die must raise taxes, increase fees and prices...to collect more money to fill up the big hole.  What do you think?

I can't think of any better answer. Paying millions in bonuses to ministers does not need so much money. As some joker had said, only a plate of char kway teow will be enough to pay for all the million dollars in bonuses. There is something more serious than meets the eyes.

Below is Lim Tean's comment on a post by Philip Ang in TRE. Who is spreading fake news?

'SP group has announced another 3.5% electricity tariff hike for Q1 2020, bringing the tariff to the highest in 5 years! They issued a bare statement yesterday saying energy costs had increased to justify the tariff hike but no details were given.

To say that both the SP group and the EMA owe Singaporeans a substantial explanation how energy costs have increased would be an understatement! Why Are Electricity Tariffs Rising To A 5 Year
High When LNG Prices Have Plummeted 43%?
