Tyranny of the Evil American Empire - To hell with the tyranny of the evil Americans!


The Evil American Empire, led by a bunch of liars, crooks and blood thirsty trouble makers are accusing China of all kinds of things, China is aggressive, expansionist, bully etc etc when the truth is that the Evil Americans are the worse and vicious beasts in oppressing and suppressing the people of the world, in wars and destruction, and killings of the innocents in the millions.

Among the cruel and wicked deeds of the evil Americans include economic sanctions and isolation of countries for 50 or more years to impoverish the people of these countries.

Then they are overt and covert wars, terrorism and threats against countries all over the world. The worse victims of American tyranny and cruelties are the middle eastern states, the African and Latin American states, Iran, North Korea and Cuba. The people of these countries have been suffering from poverty because of the tyranny and bullying of the Evil Empire.

The evil Americans spread lies, fabricated lies and use threats against these countries and forced the rest the of the world not to trade with these countries. The innocent people of these countries have suffered for decades because of the evil Americans.

The Americans have thousands of military bases and chemical and biological labs around the world to threaten and intimidate countries to obeisance.

The evil Americans are everywhere supporting terrorist organisations and ratcheting tensions to start wars and destruction.

The crimes of the evil Americans against humanity are so plentiful that it would need a whole library to fill them, but the western media refused to talk about them or write about them, instead painting the evil Americans as angels.

The intimidation and threats of force by the evil Americans have cowed the rest of the world into submission. No country dares to speak up or stand up against the tyranny of the evil Americans.

Only HE can stop the evil Americans from more killings and destruction, to free the world from the oppression and suppression of the evil Americans. HE has sent in the virus to destroy the evil Americans for the good of the people of the world.

The tyranny of the evil Americans must be put to an end for world peace and prosperity. Their cruelty and defiance against goodness and righteousness are being brought to bear by the ONE above. The Covid19 virus is the nemesis of the evil American Empire.

To hell with the American tyranny and evil Empire.

The silence about immigration in Singapore...about foreigners taking over this country

Professor Seah calls it a “fraught issue that deserves closer study,” and adds that it is one that divides Singaporeans, with those in favor of it saying immigration keeps costs low, attracts international business, which ends with more jobs for citizens. Those in favor of immigration have said that fewer migrants would mean increased prices, as well as less competitive companies.

However, those opposed to an overly large migrant community argue that immigrants end up in competition with locals for jobs, that the quotas for work permit and S Pass holders are too generous, and that no levies or quotas are imposed on Employment Pass holders....

Professor Seah writes, “But even this endeavour has not yielded conclusive findings. To be sure, many empirical studies done internationally have found immigration to have only small and insignificant effects on wages and employment of native workers.” from theindependent.sg

This is a generalisation that is being washed over by not wanting to face the truth. Everyone responsible for this mess is looking away. Immigration in other countries made up only a small percentage of their population. In Singapore, immigrants made up more than 50 percent of the population and is displacing the local population and would soon become the majority of the population if it is not already the case. Is this what daft Singaporeans want, to be displaced by foreigners in their own country?  Singaporeans not only deserve to lose their jobs, but also their country.

The crux of the matter is in this statement:

More research, he says is needed in Singapore. “Empirically, what do we know about the labour market impact of immigration in Singapore? Not much. One reason for this is the lack of high-quality peer-reviewed Singapore-based empirical research addressing this, owing possibly to the lack of publicly available data.”

The scarcity of data is part of the problem, as this leads to speculation from both sides concerning the effects of immigration, as well as brings about uncertainty and insecurity among people.

Undoubtedly, there are benefits and costs to immigration, and it brings about changes in any country’s economy.  But in order to determine the extent of these changes, “a comprehensive assessment would need to consider all these effects and to assess how different groups in society are impacted by immigration – both in the short and in the long run,” he writes, saying that how we presently comprehend the situation is “woefully inadequate.”

The professor also calls this troubling, as it prevents Singaporeans “from knowing exactly what the trade-offs associated with immigration are and to improve upon public decision-making.”

Additionally, the lack of research puts Singapore at risk of policies being implemented for the good of certain lobbying groups, and not the nation as a whole.

“More data and research on the impact of immigration in Singapore will serve to enlighten the public debate and allow more effective immigration policies to be designed,” writes Professor Seah. —/TISG

The whole article in theindependent.sg is about a deliberate act not to want to know the bad consequences of extreme immigration problems in the Singapore case. No one wants to talk about it. It is not that we don't have the people, the academics to do a proper study on this. There is a fear, a perception that the serious problems of immigration is best not to be spoken. So there is an eerie silence in the academia about this and also in Parliament.  Any MP that treasures his big MP allowance and the privileges of differential access to money, to make millions, knows very well to stay out of the immigration quagmire Singapore has intentionally walked into.

This short sighted and irresponsible behaviour of those that could stop this reckless immigration policy by putting their selfish interest first than the interest of Singaporeans would lead to the marginalisation of the original Singaporeans in Singapore.  This is an unforgiveable crime that the future generations of Singaporeans would have to live with at their expense. But because of the good of a minority that is benefitting from this crime against Singaporeans it is allowed to happen.

Lack of data, lack of research, lack of fund, NOT in Singapore. It is a deliberate act not to whisper a word about it. Talking about irresponsibility and integrity, talking about the good of Singaporeans?

This is a case of the Emperor has no clothes and no one is willing to step forward to point this out. The Singaporean masses will pay for it, heavily in their future well being.  It is pawning away their future, their country and home to be taken over by foreigners without putting up a fight, but resigned to their fate of losing their own country.

Cabinet Reshuffling - Old Wine In New Bottle

The announcement of the reshuffling of the cabinet yesterday by PM Lee Hsien Loong was an anti-climax, a great disappointment.

Though several lucky individuals have strike lottery jackpots and will soon join the Multi-Millionaires Pyramid Club, on the whole the insignificant significant event did not produce any orgasm whatsoever.

Many had expected it to be a big fanfare to usher in the 4-G leadership with an Oomph, setting in motion the gears and wheels of succession, to strengthen public confidence in the future leadership of the PAP and Singapore.

Alas! It was not to be. It was just a normal cleaning up and re-arrangement of the same musical chairs, with a few new colorful smaller chairs added in and a few old chairs sent to the junk yard.

It is quite clear that there was a crisis of confidence in the 4-G leadership - a loss of trust in their competence and capabilities even by the Power Supremo himself.

It is quite clear that PM Lee Hsien Loong has intended to stay on to hold the reins "until the economy has recovered", a situation similar to what the previous PM, Mr Goh Chok Tong had responded (he had like to stay on as PM until 2007 until the economy recovered), before being elbowed out to make way for DPM Lee Hsien Loong in 2004 at that time.

GE2020 had appeared to many voters as a referendum for the acceptance or rejection of the 4-G Leadership, and in particular the leadership of the PM-Designate DPM Heng Swee Keat.

There are several key factors that run counter to the wisdom of choosing Mr Heng to lead Singapore into an unknown, uncertain and unstable future due the devastations caused by the COVID-19 Pandemic.

The following are four of the key factors :

1. Mr Heng clearly has a speech problem in delivering speeches both in the Parliament and in public. This could be the residue of the side-effects that followed the stroke he had suffered not too long ago. For a PM to have such a problem does not enhance Singapore's image and standing internationally.

2. Mr Heng does not inspire confidence in the masses. This has been displayed by the pathetically marginal 53.41% of votes he has managed to garner in his East Coast GRC, despite running against a weaker team from the Workers' Party, led by a young woman. If not because of the predominance of the beholden new citizens mainly derived from the CECA-imported Indians residing in East Coast GRC, I think Mr Heng could have easily lost the race to Nicole Seah. In 2011, when Mr Heng first contested under the umbrella of Minister Mah Bow Tan in Tampines GRC, PAP lost 11.29% of votes, scoring only 57.22%.

3. The way Finance Minister Heng spent money in his 4-budgets Budget, dishing out more than $90 billion of hard-earned taxpayers' money so freely like water, not only left some in awe but many taxpayers in serious worries. The big chunks of that huge sum of taxpayers' money went to huge organizations like SIA and foreign banks like Citibak, but only a meagre sum has been distributed to those who are really struggling to survive in this unprecedented COVID-19 Pandemic. Not only that, Heng's freebies have not bought him much popularity nor effective enough to check the free reign of the COVID-19 Pandemic, that still inflict 400 to 500 victims per day relentlessly.

4. DPM Heng does not seem to command the total and full respect and loyalty of the other PAP MPs and Ministers, including the PM himself. For example:

When asked whether the 4-G leaders had reviewed their plans about backing DPM Heng Swee Kiat, PM Lee Hsien Loong swiftly tai-chee (deflected) the question to Trade & Industry Minister Chan Chun Sing (ex-Army Chief). Mr Chan was taken aback but, after composing himself, he gave this unconvincing deflective reply:

"We are entirely focused on helping the country in overcoming the economic challenges and saving the jobs at this point of time. We have no plans to do otherwise and we have no plans, no discussions on any change in plan."

Mr Chan was implying that they are too busy to discuss the important leadership succession issue at this juncture. What Mr Chan did not reveal was that there had been a soul searching deep into the nights during the post-mortem conducted after the election. Can anyone believe that there was no discussions on the performance of the various constituencies and their respective leaderships?

Agonisingly, they could not find any soul left! All the souls are gone. So, the only choice left is for them to wait until the 'All Souls Day' to try and search for them again.

Whatever it may be, the game of musical chairs have been played once again; leadership transition has been put on hold; and daft Singaporeans have to LIVE WITH the consequences of choice, with open eyes, in the next five years suffering in silence till the bulls shit on their heads or keep whining until the cows come home.

SCMP - Trump’s America has become an unstoppable, out-of-control bully

Editor’s note: The opinions in this article are the author’s, as published by our content partner, and do not represent the views of MSN or Microsoft.

Listen to the screams of panic-stricken passengers, children's voices among them, crying in terror and calling out prayers, as an Iranian airliner is intercepted and harassed by US warplanes over Syrian air space just the other day.

Passengers were left bruised and bloodied after the pilot of the civilian aircraft suddenly changed altitude to avoid a collision with one of the F-15 jets, although the US claimed it kept a safe distance and was only protecting its military base below.

There's nothing that Iran " already debilitated by US-led sanctions and ravaged by the coronavirus pandemic " can do about it, except complain to a United Nations that is powerless to confront the world's biggest bully as it gets more belligerent.

This is the new world order as US President Donald Trump, facing the growing prospect of a drubbing in an election he is desperate to win at all costs, seeks to distract voters from blaming him for the social and economic carnage wrought by the pandemic and his own abject failure to contain it.

On the home front, his administration has sparked a potential constitutional crisis by sending federal forces to crack down on anti-racism protests in cities that don't want that kind of interference upending the separation of powers between state and national governments.

To those who would argue that protest violence justifies federal intervention and media reports have misrepresented demonstrations as being entirely peaceful, that's exactly what happened in Hong Kong, remember, and yet the same US government painted every attempt by authorities here to restore order as "repression". How do you like them apples?

And now, in addition to cutting off Hong Kong's nose to spite Beijing with punitive acts that only serve to hurt the city, China's weakest link, the Trump administration has gone into overdrive to ostracise and stigmatise Beijing as the ultimate bogeyman. Washington's escalating and reckless provocation seriously risks triggering a military confrontation that could prove catastrophic for the whole world, but there is no power on the planet to counter its hegemony and aggression.

While openly coercing America's cronies and lobbying other nations to gang up against China, Trump's thuggish top diplomat Mike Pompeo made an unhinged rant of a speech this week that was beyond appalling in its ignorance and Sinophobia.

"The truth is that our policies, and those of other free nations, resurrected China's failing economy, only to see Beijing bite the international hands that fed it," he said. "We must also engage and empower the Chinese people " a dynamic, freedom-loving people who are completely distinct from the Chinese Communist Party." Really.

The most eloquent and fitting response to this nonsense came from former diplomat and veteran China hand Robert Daly, who told US News & World Report magazine: "China is not a land of innocent captives and evil master trolls. US-China relations are not a children's story. In China, the United States faces something far more formidable than Secretary Pompeo suggests: China is a vast, complex, wealthy, ambitious, aggrieved nation ...

"In confronting China, we're not dealing with a wholly good people who have been 'imprisoned' or 'enslaved' by a purely malign party. Chinese are often frustrated by a government (that) ignores their wishes, moves too slowly or moves in the wrong direction, but the available evidence is that, as citizens of the PRC, most Chinese people feel proud and enabled, not constrained."

All that's left to say to Pompeo and his master is what Boston lawyer Joseph Welch once famously told anti-Communist witch-hunter Joseph McCarthy during one of his Salem trials-style hearings: "Have you no sense of decency, sir? At long last, have you left no sense of decency?"

Covid19 -Travellers to high Covid19 infection countries serve stay home notices



SINGAPORE: Travellers entering Singapore after 11.59pm on Sunday (Jul 19) with travel history to Victoria in Australia, Japan and Hong Kong within the last 14 days, including transit passengers, will have to serve their stay-home notices at dedicated facilities rather than their own home, announced National Development Minister Lawrence Wong on Friday.

They will also need to take a COVID-19 test before ending their stay-home notice, in line with current requirements....

Mr Wong emphasised that this was “not something new”, as the Government has “repeatedly emphasised our border measures are not static”, adding that the taskforce is “constantly reviewing, updating” border measures based on their assessments of the viral situation around the world.

“We really need to remain vigilant both at our borders, in terms of the measures we have in place at our borders, as well as within our community to continue to ensure that we control the infection and control the spread of the virus within our community,” he said.

Above is from CNA.


Are the measures on Victoria, Australia, Japan and Hong Kong additions to an already existing list of countries that have serious Covid19 infection like the USA, India and Brazil. Are people from these countries, and people been to these high risk countries, also subject to the same restriction or more severe restriction?
