This is the theme of the above video. Is this unusual? No, the republicans and Trump supporters also believed that Biden stole the election. They also believed that the election was rigged.  They believed Trump's claim that he won by a landslide, by millions of votes. They believed that the ransacking of Capitol Hill Building was right, nothing wrong with it, not destroying democracy but protecting democracy, saving America.
 
These are alternative truths, alternative realities or delusions, fake information manufactured by Trump and his administration. And the believers, the unthinking, chose to believe in the lies. This is a phenomenon affecting not only the Americans but many in the rest of the world, including the bananas in Singapore.  Some still believe Trump is the Chosen One sent by God to save America.
 
The fault always lies on the party Trump chose to accuse as the guilty on, Biden. And they just believe it without thinking, without question. 
 
Replace Biden by China and you have all the Americans and unthinking in the world believing in it. China is the problem, China is the fault, China is to be blamed for the problems of America and a threat to the world, a threat to world peace. 
 
The same fabricated lies, the same reactions. The thugs, the criminals, spread the lies and the unthinking believers believed in them and would not ask if the thugs and the criminals were the real problem and to be blamed for all the problems they accused their enemies of.
 
Manufactured lies, spread the lies and make the fools to believe in them. And there are many willing fools willing to believe in them. 50% or more of the Americans believe in Trump that Biden stole the election and is to be blamed for the rioting and ransacking of Capitol Hill. 

It would be easier for the white supremacist Americans to believe in the lies that China is to be blamed for everything. China is the threat. The most dangerous man in the world is Kim not Trump.

Do not underestimate the power of the stupid.

Kim Jung Un is planning and dreaming of nuking the USA everyday. You believe in this shit? He is a threat to the USA, a threat to the world? He has nothing better to do? He is a nut case?

Trump said he won a landslide victory. And the stupid believed him, no need any proof. Trump's word is good enough. This is the level of stupidity in the Americans.

Personal data - Who is leaking out personal data to scammers?

'A former Singtel Filipino assistant manager leaked the details of 6 Singtel customers to a loanshark because he was unable to settle his outstanding debts with him.

I cannot help but wonder if our Personal Data Protection laws are more for show or do they really serve useful purposes?' Simon Lim in TRE

The above is posted in an article by Simon Lim in TRE. And we all know that this is only the tip of the iceberg. For every data leaked and discovered or reported, thousands more could have been leaked and undetected or unreported. And for anyone caught leaking data, there could still be hundreds or more out there leaking such personal data to make money.

I am sure many of you must have been bombarded by scam messages inviting you to gamble online or to take a loan. And many of you must have been threatened by phone calls impersonating banks and demanding that you call back. The most numerous calls that I am receiving, and still receiving, despite blocking the numbers, are from callers claiming to be from DBS and saying in a demanding tone that she had been calling me many times to call back.

Where did these scammers get our personal data and phone numbers from? From the banks they claimed to be calling from, in my case DBS, or from some other banks or other sources? Apparently this is a very lucrative business, I don't mean scamming and trying to con people to send them money, but the selling of personal data. 

Why is this so prevalent and what is the authority doing about it? Who are accessible to our personal data, who are in charge of our personal data? Is the authority investigating and trying to catch the culprits? Who are the likely people to have access to people's personal data and likely to sell them for profit? What agencies or businesses have the most of such personal data, especially financial data to tell the crooks that you are in need of loans or have excess funds to gamble?

To many this is just a nuisance and treating the calls as nuisance calls. But there will be some that would fall prey to the scam and ended up losing a lot of their savings.  This is a scourge, like loan shark harassment and needs to be terminated.

What do you think? Where is the first place for the authority to start looking at?

America - the most dangerous time for American leaders, politicians, news broadcasters and people

The senators and house of representatives, and even President elect Biden, cannot trust the military and police officers assigned to protect them, supposed to protect them.  Biden cannot trust his secret service body guards from assassinating him.

Can you believe this is America when the men in uniforms cannot be trusted, could be the terrorists in uniforms.

This is how dangerous America is today. They do not know who are their enemies. Americans are deadly divided into Trump's white supremacist camp against the Democrats and liberal Americans that embraced multi racial and multi culturism. The big danger is that the softer Democrats and free Americans did not know who are the supremacists other than those already exposed, and how dangerous they are, how deadly they are. 

Any time, any moment, any where, America could blow up into civil war. Anytime, Americans could be killed by the white supremacists. And these are not just the rough and violent thugs you see crashing into Capitol Hill Building. They could be your most trusted soldiers and police officers in uniform, the people that are paid to protect the Americans from harm.

Cannot imagine how the senators and representatives going about their lives not knowing when they will be hit. Their lives and safety are threatened, clear and present danger surrounding every one of them. 

This is prelude to war, the 'calm' before the storm. And they could not do anything about it, because Donald Trump has divided up the Americans with the violent ones waiting and gearing up to fight and to kill. The officers in charge they are talking to, thinking they are friends, could turn foes.

America can go up in fire any time, any moment, while the Democrats are still thinking that the rule of law will prevail. They are lying to themselves, in denial. The realities on the streets of America are frightening and scary. They did not know what their enemies are up to, how far they are prepared to go.  And their enemies could be standing beside them, guarding them, protecting them.

This is America waiting for when hell breaks loose.

Who is really in control, in charge of America, controlling the men in uniforms?

Can Nancy Pelosi and her colleagues sleep in peace?

COVID-19: While UK Is Learning From Earlier Mistakes, Singapore Loves Making More Mistakes

COVID-19: While UK Is Learning From Earlier Mistakes, Singapore Loves Making More Mistakes

While the UK leaders are very worried, Singapore leaders are taking it easy, earnestly, relentlessly and happily keep importing new Covid-19 cases everyday as if there will be no tomorrow.

"Flexing the coronavirus lockdown rules could be fatal," the UK Health Secretary warned his people and government, as UK hospital admissions soar.

Matt Hancock did not rule out strengthening current restrictions and told the BBC's Andrew Marr the NHS was under "very serious pressure".

It comes after almost 60,000 new cases of coronavirus were reported in the UK on Saturday and the number of deaths after a positive test passed 80,000.

Scientist Prof Peter Horby warned that the UK was in "the eye of the storm".

Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer said the rules were tough but "may not be tough enough" and called for the government to hold daily press conferences to avoid "mixed messages".

The UK recorded another 563 deaths on Sunday and 1,065 deaths on Saturday.

And Singapore's stupidly has no cure, gangho and ostrich mentality, happy-go-lucky millionaire ministers are happily relaxing the restrictions and asking for troubles before troubles come a-troubling.

Sunday's 42 new cases are all imported - the highest in 9 months, since March 2020. And no ministers or opposition leaders bother to voice any concern.

Everyone only worried about the economy. Economy no good. So import more new Coronavirus diseased people from India and Europe means good for the economy? What type of logic is that?

The 4G leadership is really out of this world, with out of this world happy-go-lucky, "gagi-buta" salary and bonuses.

Sad. More sad than USA Riots At Capitol Hill.

Covid19 - Chinese scientists and vaccines save the world

Chinese scientist’s spike protein research paves way for Covid-19 vaccine

  • Wang Nianshuang’s work on spike proteins was largely unknown until the new coronavirus emerged
  • Thanks to Wang’s years as a researcher in an obscure field, vaccines were available in record time



The rapid development and delivery of a vaccine against the new coronavirus seems like a medical miracle, but not to the scientists who spent years pushing boundaries to solve the unsolvable. 

Among them is Wang Nianshuang, a former research associate with the University of Texas at Austin, who studied coronaviruses for eight years before his continuous hard work was rewarded with the pivotal design of a synthetic spike protein....

Wang’s design is at the heart of the mRNA vaccines developed by Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech, as well as two others under development by Johnson & Johnson and Novavax. It was available so quickly because of his previous research, which went largely unnoticed at the time....

After more than 100 painstaking attempts, Wang was finally able to engineer the Mers spike protein into a stabilised state by making small genetic mutations to its encoding gene sequence. “It is like putting a steel splint on the spike protein to stabilise it in the pre-fusion configuration,” he said.

Wang was also confident the technique could be applied to different coronaviruses – “including new coronaviruses” – which all have very similar spike proteins. But, after completing his work in 2016, Wang’s paper was rejected five times by major science journals.

It was finally published in 2017 by Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences and it would take a further three years – and the emergence of a new coronavirus – before the value of Wang’s work was fully appreciated by the vaccine industry....

 
Above article is from SCMP. 
 
China not only produced conventionally tested and proven vaccines for Covid19. The mRNA vaccine is also developed by a Chinese scientist, Wang Nanshuang in University of Austin. The success of his work did not come easy as his earlier papers were rejected several times and only surfaced again when Covid19 became a pandemic. His work became very important and finally recognised as a new method for developing vaccine that could be produced quickly to fight this pandemic. 

In other words, all the vaccines currently being used around the world, those in the USA, in UK and in China, were developed by Chinese scientists. Can't imagine this a few decades ago to think that the Chinese could produce the talents to solve this international health crisis, that the world would have to rely on Chinese scientists and Chinese technology in a major crisis like this pandemic.

Would the West want to acknowledge the contribution of the Chinese scientists or would clown Trump and liar Pompeo still insist that the Chinese scientists stole the formula from the West? By the way, did Trump or Pompeo know about this? Think they would not want to be injected with a vaccine invented by Chinese scientists. Maybe Trump already knew and thus refused to be vaccinated, refused to be saved be a Chinese developed vaccine.
