Trump and Pompeo spreading contradictory lies on cyber attack by mere guessing

 WASHINGTON: Contradicting his secretary of state and other top officials, President Donald Trump on Saturday (Dec 19) suggested without evidence that China - not Russia - may be behind the cyber espionage operation against the United States and tried to minimise its impact....He also claimed the media are “petrified” of “discussing the possibility that it may be China (it may!)."

There is no evidence to suggest that is the case. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said late Friday that Russia was “pretty clearly” behind the operation against the United States.

“This was a very significant effort and I think it’s the case that now we can say pretty clearly that it was the Russians that engaged in this activity,” Pompeo said in the interview with radio talk show host Mark Levin....It is not clear whether Pompeo got that message before his interview, but officials are now scrambling to figure out how to square the disparate accounts....

If the hackers are indeed from Russia’s SVR foreign intelligence agency, as experts believe, their resistance may be tenacious.  AP

This is probably the first time the two top liars in America have come out and contradicted each other, and both did not have any concrete evidence but simply guessing and assuming. Pompeo insisted that the attack was from Russia.  Trump discounted it and suggested it was likely to be China. 

This is their standard tactics, anyhow accused, anyhow attacked without the need for proof or evidence. Remember WMD to murder Saddam Hussein and invade Iraq leading to the destruction of that country and hundreds of thousands of death and maimed? No war crimes, no condemnation by the righteous and arrogant western media, just another day, another episode of American aggression, just a cup of tea.

With Trump's ship sinking and Pompeo aiming to be the next President, it is time for him to show his colour, to prove who is the smarter idiot of the two. Pompeo is now outright going against Trump, showing to the daft Americans that he is the smarter clown, smarter than clown Trump.

Without any evidence, as the experts acknowledged, they just accused, like all the accusations against China and Huawei. How to trust these rogues as leaders of the most powerful evil Empire not to do harm to the rest of the world with their lies and guess works?

And it is also good to note that their cybersecurity is in shit. 18,000 organisations being attacked, probably more that were unknown. Now what is so great about American technology and IT? Antique, outdated. The enemies are many times more advanced and could hack into their systems at will and they could do nothing about it, not knowing who did it and barking and snarling at shadows.

This is how great America has become, counting from the bottom. Did Trump make America great? Would the clueless sleepy Joe do better?  He would probably blindly continue the work Trump designed and plotted for him to do to outdone clown Trump. The decline of the evil American Empire is a forgone conclusion, inevitable, unstoppable, only how fast.

To the evil Americans, if they cannot win in anything, just cheat, lie, steal or kill the other parties, brand them as a threat to their well being, to their national interest, to their dominance as the number one  Empire.

Another report in Yahoo News confirming that the Americans did not have a clue who did it but guessing. Read what they said, 'I don't think...' All the time the Americans have been spreading lies based on nothing but their biased imagination.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - There is no question that Russia is behind the recent hacking campaign against the United States, the head of the U.S. House of Representatives intelligence panel said on Sunday, warning that President Donald Trump's effort to play down Moscow's role and point to China was a threat to U.S. national security.

"Based on what I've seen, I don't think there's any question that it was Russia," House intelligence committee Chairman Adam Schiff told MSNBC in an interview. "It just uniformly destructive and deceitful, and injurious ... to our national security," he said of Trump's Saturday comments.

PS. Trump's avoidance in attacking Russia is a clear sign that he is in Putin's pocket. He has been paid by the Russians for decades, bankrupt and saved by the Russian banks.

COVID-19: Coronavirus Can Mutate, Vaccines Can't!

 COVID-19: Coronavirus Can Mutate, Vaccines Can't!

Nations across Europe have imposed UK travel bans over a new strain of the Coronavirus found in late September in Wales. This new strain is 70% more transmissable. It has already spread throughout UK, except North Ireland.

According to UK experts, it is known to have been exported to the Netherlands, Denmark, Belgium, Spain and as far south as Australia.

It may also have been exported to South Africa and India, and other countries that are popular travel/working destinations for the British people.

UK's Health Secretary Matt Hancock said that the new strain "was out of control. We have got to get it under control", admitting that this was "an incredibly difficult end to, frankly, an awful year".

Ireland, Germany, France, Italy, the Netherlands and Belgium are all halting flights. The measures are temporary but a more co-ordinated approach will be determined by the EU today.

UK PM Boris Johnson has introduced a new Tier 4 Restrictions for those areas affected and cancelled the relaxation of rules for Christmas celebrations announced earlier.

The new strain is said to be a mutated variant of the COVID-19 which is totally different from those found in Wuhan, China. It is also known now that the variant that is found in Europe are different from those found in China. This is evidence that China did not spread the Covid19 to Europe and UK, and by extension, also the US.

Now, let's talk about the newly minted vaccines. The questions every user or jab receiver should be asking are:

1. How effective will the vaccines be?

2. How long will the vaccines last once inside the body?

3. Will the mutated coronavirus render the vaccines ineffective?

4. Can I sue for compensation if anything untoward happened to me after I have been vaccinated?

5. What is the government's stand on the above?

Covid19 vaccines, price leaked, the world is not supposed to know

 Contractual prices of Covid19 vaccines leaked by a tweet by a junior Belgium minister, from a report by AFP posted in CNA.

The tweeted information gave the following price per dose for each vaccine maker, in either euros or US dollars according to the respective contract:

1. AstraZeneca: €1.78

2. Johnson & Johnson: US$8.50

3. Sanofi/GlaxoSmithKline: €7.56

4. Pfizer/BioNTech: €12.00

5. Curevac: €10.00

6. Moderna: US$18.00

Separately, on Thursday, the European Commission announced a seventh contract with US biotech company Novavax for 100 million doses, the price of which was not given under the confidentiality agreement.

How much will third world countries have to pay now that they know how much the rich western countries are paying? Would the third world countries be paying more than the rich western countries?

It is good to show that they are selling to their rich western countries first. The rest of the world can wait. And they will accuse China for trying to capitalise on offering its vaccines to the rest of the world, especially the third world, and would mischievously allege that China did not do it for altruistic purpose but to gain political influence. And they would keep their vaccines for the white countries and maybe later when they have had their shares, sell it at higher price to the rest of the world. Third world countries that cannot afford, sorry, no money no talk. They would not do it for altruistic reasons but for profit. 

And some silly third world countries would believe their lies and attack China for offering the vaccines to them when the western countries would not or at a higher price and put them at the end of the queue. China is offering to the third world countries first but would be accused as a political move, bad, by the whites.

This leak is another act of God to stop profiteering and taking advantage of third world countries. Now it is difficult to make the third world subsidise the rich western countries for these vaccines. God is great to make sure they cannot cover up this ruse to exploit the poorer people of the world. It is all within HIS grasp and plan.

The next industrial revolution in Singapore is food and hawker centres

The Big Read: With UNESCO listing in sight, will new breed of 'hawkerpreneurs' rejuvenate or erode hawker culture?

Meet Mr Onion: Why this Singapore chef wants you to give vegetables a chance.

Commentary: Lab-grown meat approved for the first time in Singapore – but will people bite?

Above are the headlines in CNA Online news on 7 Dec. Food, food, food, hawker food, Michellin Stars food, lab grown food...these are headline news in Singapore. Looks like food is the future going forward for Singapore and our reporters would be experts in writing about food and chefs, no longer writing about pets, cats and dogs.

What about 5G, AI, new technology, the Fourth Industrial Revolution, leading edge technology, IOT, going to the moon? Oh, lab grown food is new tech. Good. With food and hawker fare as the future, the new frontier to drive Singapore's economy and tourism, the ITEs, maybe tertiary institutions as well, should reorganise their courses to be relevant so that the students on graduating could find jobs in the food industry, as cooks, chefs, waiters and waitresses and the sikit atas wine smelling and wine tasting sommeliers.

More hawker centres and food courts and restaurants should be built to cater for the growing food industry. The listing of hawker centres in UNESCO is a good start. Next would be food courts and 5 star Michellin restaurants and we will have new heroes, entrepreneurs and celebrities like world famous chefs and world famous hawker centre cooks.

This must be the new innovation and creative spirit of Singapore.  When we cannot compete in high tech and science, find out own niche, in food and hawker centres. Graduates should be encouraged to become hawkers and 'zi char' stall owners and make big money. No need to have a degree for sure. And our reporters would have a lot of things to write and report about hawker centres, food courts and best dishes, best recipes, best cooks. There will be so many things to write about, never short of material, and our newspapers could be 40 pages thick, and full of hawker advertisements, more profits for sure.

Perhaps I shall write more about hawker centres, food courts, food and chefs in mysingaporenews too. And now with UNESCO listing, Singapore everyday can talk and write about hawker food and cooks. Other countries can talks about going to the moon, IT, IOT, science and technology, we talk about how to cook good hawker food, where to find the best hawker food, how to attract tourists to see our hawker centres and taste our hawker food.

Singapore will now be world famous for hawker centres and hawker food. Great achievment. Next target, get Orchard Road to be recognised as the best shopping belt in the world. India can take a leaf from Singapore by putting up its Dabbawalla to be recognised as an Indian heritage.  Malaysia can try Teh Tarek as a Malaysian specialty that has gone to the International Space Station.

Australia's ruthless and brutish anti China policies - Not bad behaviour?

Its ruthlessness in asserting itself far and wide, by fair means and foul, means there will be no going back to the status quo that prevailed before President Xi Jinping emerged in 2013 as China’s most nationalistic leader since Mao Zedong.

Likewise, Beijing’s crude use of trade sanctions to penalise Australia for real or imagined slights signifies that a trading relationship born of mutual benefit risks being subject to persistent, politically-motivated interference.

This is the reality, whether we like it or not. China is done with “biding its time” in line with former leader Deng Xiaoping’s advice in pursuit of its big power ambitions.

It may no longer be correct to describe China as a “rising power”. The power has risen.

Above is by Tony Walker on China Australia chilly relations in the CNA. You can see how blind and how biased this white man is about China, accusing China of bad behaviour but not what Australia had done against China and not the behaviour of the American gangsters against China and the rest of the world. China's firm and assertive actions were actually reactions to the ruthless and brute actions of the Americans and Australians in particular and the West in general. To him Australia is so innocent, a victim of China, not the bully, very well behaved. Really, where have you been, Mars? The bad behaviours of Australia against China are astounding and unpardonable.

The above should read like this: 

Its ruthlessness in asserting itself far and wide, by fair means and foul, means there will be no going back to the status quo that prevailed before President Donald Trump emerged in 2016 as USA’s most nationalistic/dictatorial leader since Roosevelt.

Likewise, Washington’s crude use of trade sanctions to penalise China for real or imagined slights signifies that a trading relationship born of mutual benefit risks being subject to persistent, politically-motivated interference.

 

The last two paragraphs made some sense.  China is a risen power and would not bullied and take the attacks by the Americans or small countries like Australia or Britain or Canada without kicking asses.

The Americans have viciously been attacking China daily with all kinds of ruthless sanctions under all kinds of fake and drummed up charges, and including Australia, have been sending warships into the South China around Chinese islands to provoke a war with China. These, to this white man and many white men, are acceptable behaviours, not ruthless assertions or aggression.

For more than a centuries, the West have attacked, invaded China and bullying China and Chinese all over the world, oppressing and suppressing China, isolating and containing China to prevent China and Chinese from living a better life. Australia is equally guilty of such racist behaviour against Chinese migrants in the past. They expect China and Chinese to continue to be meek, bent their heads and let the West to continue to bully and not to respond, not to look up. And reaction by the Chinese is bad, not acceptable. How can the Chinese talk back and even dare to hit back? This is still the century of white supremacy and white dominance. It is ruled by the evil American Empire.

Look at the mirror and at all the abusive and harsh actions of the Americans and white men against the rest of the world, the wars and destruction and killings in the Middle East and ask, Who are the aggressors, the warmongers, the trouble makers?  The whites still expect and demand that the rest of the world must continue to be controlled, dictated and bullied by the West and must accept this as the world order, never stand up to talk back or hit back. Doing so would be accused of being aggressive and assertive.

But not to worry, the aggressive and destructive behaviour of the white men would be coming to an end soon. The rest of the world, not only China, would stand up and say no to the white men and their bullying. Your control and dominance in the world are weakening and would soon be history. Your utterly destructive and bad behaviour against the rest of the world, your wars, your killings, bombings, sanctions and bullying cannot be tolerated anymore, cannot go unnoticed, unreported.

You are absolutely bad, white men. You are not the good men you claimed to be. You have been fighting wars of aggression against the rest of the world continuously for centuries and blaming others as threats, as enemies, as the bad guys when the white nations are the worse criminals against human civilisations. Your hypocrisy is unparallelled today and the world is going to pull down your mask if you refused to take it off yourself. White men is the biggest threat to the world.

Tony Walker admitted 3 damaging decisions by Australia against China, not bad behaviour?

'Three episodes have been particularly damaging.

The first and almost certainly the most scarring was the decision in early 2019 for Australia to take the lead role in lobbying its Five Eyes partners to exclude the Chinese company Huawei from supplying technology for their 5G networks.

Australia’s decision to exclude Huawei from its own 5G roll-out is one thing, lobbying others to follow suit is another....

The second damaging episode involved Prime Minister Scott Morrison volunteering to lead the charge for an investigation into China’s responsibility for the coronavirus that emerged in the city of Wuhan in late 2019.

Again, why Morrison took it upon himself to coordinate such an inquiry – when one was in train anyway under World Health Organisation auspices – is unclear....

The third damaging episode involved Treasurer Josh Frydenberg’s decision to prevent the Hong Kong-listed China Mengniu Dairy from taking over the Japanese-owned Lion Dairy and Drinks in a A$600 million (US$450 million) acquisition.

In rejecting Mengniu’s takeover bid, Frydenberg overrode advice from the Foreign Investment Review Board and Treasury – both of which had supported the deal.

This was a politically motivated decision to satisfy critics of the sale of Australian assets to Chinese entities. It certainly reinforced a view in Beijing that Australia’s foreign investment approval process is tilted against Chinese companies.'

These are 3 very hostile actions by Australia, but there were many more. Read the 14 crimes or sins committed by Australia against China, all done unilaterally without provocations from China and with China pouring in billions of dollars into the Australian economy. 

PS. Trump is signing another law, cowboy's law, to remove Chinese stocks from the NY Exchange.  Just because they signed it into law so they are respecting and obeying the law? Or outlaws?
