Fox News and low IQ Fox News viewers according to Rupert Murdoch

 

'I started Fox News to get rich.  When we got sued, our lawyers made it very clear we are not journalists. We are entertainers...We wrap lies as opinion and that formula retains viewers and it's very profitable.'

'We created a fake story that "Biden stole the elections" to keep our low IQ viewers returning everyday. It worked.'

Lesson For Singapore: Clusters of the Indian Covid-19 Varients Spread Across UK



The latest British update on the Indian variants has revealed that officials from Public Health England are seriously concerned on three new variants.

Scientists have been assessing three closely related variants first detected in India and since found in the UK because they have mutations that help the virus to evade the body’s immune responses and be more transmissible due to their spike protein mutations.

All three of the variants – known as B16171, B16172 and B16173 – have been under investigation in the UK.

According to internal documents, the assessment of the ongoing risk to public health from B16172 is “high”.

One of the India variants – B16172 – has been upgraded to a "Variant of Concern" for broader communications.

48 clusters of the Indian Variant B16172 have been identified, including those linked to secondary schools and religious gatherings, with evidence of community transmissions.

Dr Deepti Gurdasani, a clinical epidemiologist and senior lecturer at Queen Mary University of London, said the variant was “increasing very rapidly” and that “at the current doubling rate it could easily become dominant by the end of May or early June”.

15 cases of B16172 Variant were found in one London Care Home where residents had their second doses of the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine in the week prior to the outbreak. Some were hospitalised.

It comes as public health officials revealed that the B16172 has been found in Northern Ireland for the first time, with seven confirmed cases.

“While preventive measures – including travel restrictions – are very important, the assessment is that these will delay rather than permanently prevent the spread of variants already detected elsewhere on these islands,” said the Chief Medical Officer for Northern Ireland, Dr Michael McBride.

“The most effective way to stop variants developing or spreading is to keep pushing down infection rates and transmission of the virus in our community,” he added.

Cases of the India variants have risen dramatically in recent weeks in the UK. The main cause of the rise is probably the B16172 Variant from India.

Prof Ravi Gupta of the University of Cambridge, who researches variant mutations, said he believed all the India variants should be designated Variants of Concern “given we can’t afford to be wrong”.

Prof Christina Pagel, the Director, Clinical Operational Research Unit, at University College London, said:

“Clearly this variant has escaped into the community and is spreading quickly. It highlights the fundamental weakness of the Red List Travel System in that we just don’t know where the next dangerous variant is coming from. This should prompt a complete overhaul of our travel policy for the summer.”

New World Order - No more time wasting summits with the Americans and enemies

'Putin should refuse Biden’s offer of a summit: Americans will bring only political theatrics & threats, nothing will be achieved
25 Apr, 2021 RT 

By Glenn Diesen, Professor at the University of South-Eastern Norway, and an editor at the Russia in Global Affairs journal.

The response of the media and pundit class to a possible summit between Russian President Vladimir Putin and his American counterpart Joe Biden shows that a meeting between the two leaders is premature and Moscow should step back.'

This call by Glenn Diesen is timely and appropriate. No more nonsense and time wasting meetings with the Americans if the agenda is nothing but disguised troublemaking ruse using human rights and democracy to meddle with Russian domestic affairs and to smear and attack Russia.  What is the point of a summit when it is meant to be an attack on the domestic affairs of Russia?

Russian and China should put an end to this American nonsense. If the Americans want to meet and talk, let's talk about how to improve relations, improve trade and improve the world. Why go to a meeting to allow the Americans to take potshots at your domestic affairs? Why waste time with trouble makers up to no good.

No more useless and provocative summits with the Americans. Period. 

Russia and China must set the agenda that would bring benefits to both countries, not attend a summit to be lectured by the trouble making, conniving and evil Americans and ended up achieving nothing good.

US relations with Russia and China must start with a new page. Countries that regard China and Russia as enemies should be treated as enemies.  No more grey areas. Countries that spent their time looking for trouble, looking for a fight, must be met with the same viciousness and be attacked when they attacked. The new world order shall be either friends or enemies. No more trading or talking with enemies and allowing them to meddle with your internal affairs and finding faults to smear and demonise you.  The troublemakers must be met with a fist in their face.

Covid19 - Big disaster to some, big profit to others

Covid-19 has proved to be the greatest humanitarian and economic disaster of the century. A reported 2.7 million people have already died from the pathogen. Its recession is estimated to be twice as deep as that associated with the 2008 crash. Ultimately, the only way out of the pandemic is to vaccinate the world. Yet there has been an alarming outbreak of a “my country first” approach to vaccine allocation. In February, the US announced that it would not donate any doses to poor countries until it had a plentiful supply. Fewer than 10 days later, India cracked down on vaccine exports. theguardian.com

Below comments also from theguardian.com.

The arrival of Covid-19 vaccines promises a return to more normal life – and has created a global market worth tens of billions of dollars in annual sales for some pharmaceutical companies.

Among the biggest winners will be Moderna and Pfizer....

Pfizer, which splits costs and profit margins equally with BioNTech, expects $15bn in 2021 sales based on current deals. The final number could be twice as high, as Pfizer says it can potentially deliver 2bn doses this year. Barclays analyst Carter Gould is predicting sales of $21.5bn in 2021, $8.6bn next year and $1.95bn in 2023, on the assumption that the jab is given as a one-off shot....

Moderna has said it expects 2021 sales of $18.4bn. Barclays analyst Gena Wang forecasts sales of $19.6bn, $12.2bn in 2022, and $11.4bn in 2023, assuming recurring vaccinations....

 J&J, The company aims to deliver at least 1bn doses this year, which would generate $10bn

Analysts at SVB Leerink are forecasting sales of $1.9bn this year and $3bn in 2022. The 2021 figure could be far higher if AstraZeneca achieves its ambitious target of 3bn doses

The above explain what this pandemic is all about, big suffering for many countries, probably millions would die. On the other hand, a few companies were well placed and supported by the American and British govts to reap humongous profits arising from the tragedy of others.  And not only they are not sharing the rights to make the vaccines for others to make them cheaper and easily available, they are forcing govts not to use other vaccines from China and Russia. They just refused to approve them for use in their allied countries and their crony countries.  All have been pressured not to use China and Russia vaccines. This is how they control and monopolise the use and sale of the vaccines.

Only countries outside their influence and control could break this iron grip to get cheaper and readily available vaccines from Russia and China. 

Now who is the devil that is reaping the poor as well as rich nations out of this pandemic? One might question whether this is all pre planned. Moderna was a new company, set up 10 years ago and did not make a cent of profit until this pandemic. It was as if it was set up in anticipation of the pandemic and now laughing all the way to the bank for years to come as long as the pandemic continues. And you may also wonder why the rush to reopen their economies to let the infection grows and grows.

The whole pandemic is looking so unnatural and so sinister...all for money and profits. Another unending war for profits.

PS.  Making patents for Covid virus is illegal. Virus has only one major use, to cause sickness and diseases like the current pandemic.  Why would people make virus patents? To make money by spreading virus and then sell antidotes which they also have patents for them. This is the same modus operandi for computer viruses and anti virus softwares.

Why did Bill Gates own so many patents of virus secretly? What is his intent for owning virus patents? To save the world?

US China rivalry - How they treat their partners is important

Ardern said how China treats its partners is important.

"We hope that China too sees it in its own core interests to act in the world in ways that are consistent with its responsibilities as a growing power, including as a permanent member of the UN Security Council," she added. 

The above is quoted from Reuters and you cannot fail to notice the one sided biased perception of the Anglo Saxon countries towards China. They could not see how evil, assertive and aggressive they have been all the years. China is not treating its partners fairly, that is the message. On the contrary, the US is treating its partners fairly and a saint, all goodness. What crap!

Talking about treating partners, China has never asked or threatened its partners to take sides against the US, either with us or against us. Whose policy is this belligerent policy? Who is forcing China or other American allies and cronies to take sides? China was only interested in trade and development, no political leverage in its relations with friends and not so friendly countries. The belligerent and vicious and bickering country is the USA and its 5 eyes countries. 

And what is their problem? A different political and social system. Any country that adopts a different political system is seen as enemy, unacceptable. Every country must adopt their full of farce democracy and full of lies human rights system. Did China demand that the Anglo Saxon country or any country to adopt China's social and political system? No! China respect every country to have their own system.

It is the intolerable and hypocritical Anglo Saxon countries and the West that are putting demands that other countries must be like them or else not acceptable to be countries and cannot be friends or even trading partners. Stop imposing unreasonable and stupid demands that other countries must accept your hypocritical democracy. You continue with your so called democratic system, others can continue with their chosen systems. You go your way, others have a right to go their way. Why is this so difficult to reconcile? There is no need to reconcile as the Twains shall never meet. Just accept this as a fact for peace sake.

Look at how the Americans are treating its allies, and cronies as well, Japan, South Korea, EU and the 5 eyes countries, all must be in the same gang and to treat others as enemies. Such a hostile policy of not accepting other countries to choose their ways of lives is unacceptable to the farcical freedom to choose one's way of life, to choose one's religion or social and political system.  It is oppression, it is totalitarianism, not democracy.

What is so good about the farcical democratic system of the West? Practically everyone one of these countries is in a state of decline and lawlessness. All the crimes against humanity, all the wars, all the oppression and sanctions against countries were committed by the Anglo Saxon countries and the West in the name of hypocritical democracy and human rights.  They are the worst violators of human rights in the world.

A hypothetical case, even if all the countries were to embrace the western so called democratic system that is being forced to the rest of the world, the West and the Americans would continue to find other excuses to start wars to oppress and suppress other countries for their world hegemony and dominance.  Democracy and human rights were just tools to make enemies of other countries.

Australia and the other 5 eyes countries are making China their enemy just because China chose to live under its own social political system. China did not make enemies of these countries. Why blame China when they themselves are the belligerent and warmongering countries, fighting wars, starting wars and fighting endless wars, when China is the most peaceful country compare to these evil warmongers and criminals, killing innocent people everywhere in the name of democracy and human rights.

Ask a few simple questions.  Who is picking a fight with everyone? Who is starting all kinds of wars and hate propaganda, spreading lies and fake news to demonise other nations? Who is the provocateur in all the hot spots? Who is the aggressive one?  China assertive? Why is China assertive? Expect China to turn the other cheek to the aggressive Americans and Anglo Saxons who openly announced that they would stop China from becoming a richer and stronger economic powerhouse?

Remember the bombing of Chinese Embassy in Belgrade? Who blew up the Chinese and Russian satellites? Remember the provocations of sending warships into the South China Sea. Who is sending warships to the front yard of China? Hope China will sink the British aircraft carrier QE II.

Stop the farce, stop the white lies. Have respect for your partners and cronies and allow them the freedom to choose their way of lives and their friends. The world has no place for white gangsters and murderers and criminals.

Hope the warmongering and troublemakingAmericans and Anglo Saxon countries would be more responsible and behave in a more civilised way consistent with big powers and permanent members of the UN Security Council.

PS.  The country that is breaking all international rules and laws are the Americans, not China. The Americans do not believe in a rules based international world order.  This rules based world order is for the rest of the world to follow.  The Americans are above this rules based order. They can lie, cheat, steal and kill and no one can say anything or to judge them or to punish them. Anyone attempting to bring the Americans to the International Courts to be charged for war crimes against humanity would be destroyed by the Americans. If you need any proof, ask Saddam Hussein, Gaddafi or Assad.
