A mockery of Jacob Black protest

Anti racism protesters rally in Kenosha, watched by National Guard reinforcements. This is the heading of a Reuters article in the CNA on the protest and demonstration against the killing of an unarmed black man, Jacob Black, by a white policeman, pumping 7 bullets behind his back while pulling his shirt at the same time. The close range shots were deadly. No one would have seen such point black and senseless killing of a black man by a policeman that was paid and licensed to carry firearms to protect the citizens in the streets. 

Without the video clip, thanks to this great invention called mobile phone with camera, all the evidence are there in coloured and in motion, frame by frame, for all to see. Without this invention, the killer would have got away by drumming up fake evidence like the dead victim, unable to defend himself, was carrying weapons and threatening to shoot at the police and the police had to shoot him in self defence. In this case it was cold blood murder in broad daylight in the streets of Kenosha, USA, the hypocritical and fake country that boasted about democracy, equality and human rights. 

This is the true America, naked and cruel, and racist to the core, in print, in video for the world to see.

And here is the interesting part, or the hypocritical part of the mass protest against this killing of a black man. When the black people are in rage, angry, crying injustice and wanting justice, this is what the media is presenting as a protest. I though it was a street party to celebrate something nice and pleasant and the people are enjoying themselves, dancing on the streets. 

Jacob Black, George Floyd. Ahmaud etc etc, had died for nothing. It is a lost cause. There will be more Jacob Blacks and George Floyds if the blacks think their death would allow them to party in the streets.

It is a mockery of the protest, a betrayal of Jacob Black and the cries of the black African American.

 

The fate of the blacks would be no better than those of the native Indians. Terminated to near extinction in their homeland. Now only a few barely surviving in the reservations devoid of modern facilities, no tap water, no electricity, still like the wild, wild west days of old, while their land stolen and developed into the most modern country in the world. If only they have leaders like in Singapore where we no one would be left behind. To think about it, our PMETs are quite like the native Indians, retired for good, not fighting anymore, too weak, too hapless.

Singapore is prime land of strategic value and must not be sold to the scums and wildlife of the third world

Policy changes and "online commentary" risk making Singapore a less welcoming place for expats

Bloomberg opined that although Singapore should be "a magnet for global talent" -- considering it has long been the city of choice for Western expats -- barriers to entry for expats to the city-state are mounting....

 "The uncertain job prospects, online commentary and stricter conditions risk making Singapore a less welcoming destination just as the city-state needs foreign investment the most," the report said.

 It added that by taking steps to promote local hiring, the Singapore government has added to the angst of expats, as the practice might come "at the expense of expats".

Foreign talents are worried that they will lose this golden goose that could give them a good life regardless of the plight of Singaporeans. They are all dying to come here to get good jobs and good life. The worrisome part is that our super talented leaders did not know the value of Singapore and sell us cheap to the foreigners. There is no where better than Singapore to the foreigners in the whole of Asia! damn it, get this point very clear.  Every inch of Singapore is worth its value in gold especially to the super powers.  The strategic location and the stable and friendly environment, the ease of communication in a hostile and wild region make Singapore an unexceptionally desirable destination for foreigners and their companies to locate here. Singapore commands a premium not the infamous Singapore discount.

Singapore does not need to attract cheap foreigners and cheap foreign companies to come here. Singapore is choice spot for the big powers to want their presence here. There is no where in Asia or SE Asia that is so important to the big powers and they would die die want to be here. The areas around Singapore is inhospitable, unpredictable and dangerous.  Singapore is value and not to be treated as another cheap rubbish dump for the rubbish of the third world countries and third world fakes and frauds to turn it into their playground.

Our leaders must take note of the value of Singapore and put a high price for it, not to sell Singapore to the karang guni men. Be selective, there is not much land available in Singapore and they should be priced accordingly to the foreign investors. And they is no need to invite the scums and wildlife here to shit in our holy land.

China and the USA and Europe are salivating to be here. Period. Do not sell out Singapore cheap. There is no need to waste our highly priced and limited land for little companies from the third world that have little value add to our economy, and worse, employing their third world workers. How many companies in Chennai Business Park, oops, Changi Business Park deserve to be there?

The Story of Ah Q - A Parallel To Singaporeans Today

 
"The True Story of Ah Q" is an episodic novella written by the famous Lu Xun, first published as a serial between Dec 1921 and Feb 1922, comprising 9 chapters - considered among the masterpieces of modern Chinese literature.

The character of Ah Q in Lu Xun's short noval has given rise to a unique expression in China called "Ah Quism".

"Ah Quism" is the attempt to find cheap moral victory in defeat and failure. A typical Sinkie trait, which is now being displayed through the speeches of PAP leaders in Parliament over the last three days.

In the story, Ah Q is continually defeated, by his fellow low-lifes, by respectable people and by revolutionaries.

Yet he keeps turning each and every situation around in his head afterwards, in order to feel good for himself.

For instance, while being beaten by loofers, he loudly denigrates himself as being as low as an insect, thus showing himself to be the "foremost self-belittler" - and certainly being "foremost" in anything is admirable, is it not? So, in this manner he is spiritually superior again to his persecutors.

To some people, "The True Story of Ah Q" may be confusing because it seems to have no moral centre.

Ah Q is motivated by self-interest, even when he tries (and fails) to join the revolution. None of his persecutors nor his victims seem to be people of any integrity.

The ending is tragic and ironical. Ah Q had wanted to join the revolutionaries in order to enjoy a better life and higher status but he failed to do so because he overslept and missed the train. Later the revolutionaries, the very people whom he had looked up to, framed him up for the crimes they have committed. Ah Q was arrested and executed. He signed on his death sentence note as Q instead of O, the standard signature for illiterates in those days.

Ah Q was executed for the crimes of others, yet he died without any regret nor protest. This is what most Sinkies are - always suffering in silence without making any protest, yet still can feel great about their existence and predicaments. Chronically tragic!

This all seems to be a lawless and sadistic black humour.

To really get the morals of this story, you must understand the historical context: China had just gone through a bourgeois democratic revolution in 1911, overthrowing the last imperial dynasty and setting up a Republican Government the following year.

However, the new government could not throw off foreign domination (by Austria, Britain, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Japan, Russia and USA) or bring about needed reforms to improve the lot of the people.

So, in 1919, the famous May Fourth movement began with a student protest in Beijing. And several decades of political upheaval and bloodshed on a mass scale followed, before the eventually victorious Maoist Revolution set China on the path to what China is today.

It was in the confusing Republican period that Lu Xun started writing, placing the story of Ah Q in the turmoil of the incomplete revolution of 1911. It was a time when many Chinese looked to Western ways (like our bananas) to overthrow ancient Chinese traditions rooted in the feudal system.

A character in "The True Story of Ah Q" is just referred to as the "Imitation of Foreign Devil", an affluent Chinese person who adopts the fashions of the West.

The "revolutionaries" in the story are an ambivalent lot, far from the ideologically driven revolutionaries who came later.

Ah Q is thus both a ridiculous figure — with his self-centred ignorance and his psychological "victories" - and a pathetic low-life unable to compete in a vicious environment made more difficult by foreign powers dominance.

While laughing at Ah Q, the reader somehow also understand his confusion and applaud his hapless attempts to improve his situation against all odds.
