Cyberattack! USA Held To Ransom!

The US's Colonial Pipeline in Georgia was attacked by a ransomware on Friday (7 May). It is the country's largest fuel pipeline that supplies 45% of the East Coast's supply of diesel, gasoline and jet fuel - about 2.5 million barrels a day.

It was completely knocked offline by a cyber-criminal gang and until Sunday it is still down.

President Biden declared a state of emergency. The state of emergency, in accordance with the Jones Act, allows fuel to be transported by roads, rails, rivers and sea.

Fuel prices are expected to rise today by at least 3%.

The impact will be far worse if it goes on for much longer.

It is confirmed that the ransomware attack was caused by a cyber-criminal gang called Dark Side, who infiltrated Colonial's network on Thursday and took almost 100 GB of data.

After seizing the data, the hackers locked the data on some computers and servers, and on Friday demanded a ransom. If it is not paid, they will leak the data onto the Internet.

The US, being the only super-criminal state in the world is being held for ransom by a small gang of cyber-cracks. What a joke!

Covid19 - Evil, selfish and lying Americans

U.S. wants COVID vaccine patent waiver to benefit world, not boost China biotech

By Andrea Shalal, Carl O'Donnell and David Lawder

(Reuters) - The Biden administration is examining ways to ensure that a waiver of COVID-19 vaccine patents to aid poor countries will not hand sensitive U.S. biopharmaceutical technology to China and Russia, responding to a chorus of concerns, U.S. and industry officials say.

President Joe Biden on Wednesday backed the U.S. entering negotiations at the World Trade Organization for the waiver of intellectual property rights as a means to boost vaccine supplies by allowing poorer countries to make their own.

So far, vaccines have gone overwhelmingly to richer nations, which scooped up contracts for them earlier this year. [L1N2KP178] COVID-19 infection rates in wealthy countries have dropped as vaccination rates increased this year, but infections are still rising in 36 countries, with India's daily cases skyrocketing to nearly 400,000 a day....

Many companies and now some U.S. officials fear the move would allow China to leapfrog years of research and erode the U.S. advantage in biopharmaceuticals. Yahoo News

The above said one thing, the evil Americans are hoarding on to the vaccines and refused to share with the rest of the world. Only after they have fully vaccinated their own people would they sell their vaccines at a very high profit to the rest of the world.

Till today, the Americans are not exporting any of the vaccines produced in the USA, at most 5% to their close allies. Even when India is now a hell house, they claimed to want to send aid to the tune of $100m worth but sent only a fraction of what they broadcast to the world.

And to keep on to their lies, they conveniently raised the red herring of China. It is because of China that they would not share the formula. What shit! China has many vaccines in production, does not need the American formula.  China also has its own mRNA vaccines. What stupid lies to con the world? For their own selfish and evil reasons, the Americans would continue to keep the vaccines to themselves and letting more people around the world die while claiming they want to help the people of the world.

In the mean time Chinese vaccines are all over the world, especially in poorer countries at very low prices and saving millions and millions of lives. Without the Chinese vaccines many of the poorer countries would be in deep shit like in India and the USA, Brazil and Britain.

The rest of the world can wait long ling for the American vaccines and when available, paying for an arm or a leg. This is the true nature of the evil Americans, so 'caring and generous'.

While the white men are pretending to be serious in wanting to share their vaccines with the poorer countries, while they continue to bicker in their political show, there are so many vaccines from China and Russia that are available immediately but not approved by them for use to save lives.  By the time the white men have finished their bickering, there would be no need for their vaccines. Those millions that needed not die would have been dead and the pandemic could be over.

Until today, despite the American loudspeaker blaring that they would help the rest of the world and sharing their vaccines for more than a year , the Americans have not share a single dose of their vaccines with poorer countries. They and the Brits are still hoarding all the vaccines they produced, not sharing.

Now why is Biden talking about wanting to waive but not waiving the copyrights of their vaccines, not sharing their formula for fear of leaking it to the Chinese, why this double talk? The truth, their vaccines have increasingly been proven to be ineffective, though they are not admitting it. 

The main reason, listen to this, is that they want the formula of Chinese vaccines.  For waiving the rights to their vaccines, the condition is for China to waive its rights and to share the formula with the Americans. They knew that the Chinese vaccines are effective and working, but not theirs, and desperately wanted to get hold of Chinese vaccines. Hear that, this is the real reason behind this change of agenda.

This is another big white lie.

COVID-19 On The March In Singapore Again?

 
A girl student from Victoria Junior College (that has many foreign students on scholarship paid by Singaporeans' money) has been infected by COVID-19 virus, possibly the latest variant from India. As a result, 103 people have to be quarantined - 95 students and 8 staff.

What about those people who took the same buses or MRT trains with her, while she was infectious but not showing symptoms?

What about the places she has visited? How many people at those places have been infected by her?

Also, Changi Airport has discovered 3 more workers/staff got infected by COVID-19 Indian variant.

Are these isolated cases? Or, they are the tip of the iceberg?

The situation in Singapore has cause for concern because there is still very limited efforts spent to test everyone. Unless everyone is tested, there is no way to know the extent of the spread of the latest India Variant of the COVID-19 coronavirus in Singapore.

And we do not have the full picture as to how many people have been infected everyday.

Therefore, it is better to avoid going out as much as possible, especially to crowded places, crowded buses and trains, and drinking and eating joints.

The highly contagious India virus is probably in the air, everywhere. No one is the wiser.

No expert can tell for sure where and when the virus is going to attack you.

Precautions are better than cures.

US Al Asad airbase in Iraq attacked by Iran

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGP7hZQuTL0

Though this is American propaganda, one can still figure out what they tried to hide and how they tried to deceive the viewers. This video is about the missile attack on an American airbase in Iraq, Al Asad, by Iran after the assassination of Gen Soeleimani in Iraq. The video revealed a lot of interesting things that the Americans did not mean to show.

Point one, the Americans were trying to say the 15 or 16 missiles launched by the Iranians, though admitted as very accurate, did not cause any American casualty because the Americans knew they were coming and vacated the base and were looking from a distance. No one or aircraft were in the base to be hit. They were able to do that because of intelligence early warning. They moved 50 aircraft and 1,500 American soldiers out of harm's way.

The missiles were not hand grenades. They were powerful, 1000 pound bombs, and you could see the damages done to many of the buildings at the end of the video. 

What can be found from the unsaid?

They were prepared but unprepared. If they were prepared, how come they had to squeeze 40 soldiers into a bunker built for 10? They claimed no casualty or loss of aircraft despite showing damages to the base. 11 missiles hit their targets but no fatality. Must be fake bombs, hot air?

This is how they lied, their propaganda warfare, that all the attacks were useless, cannot kill them.

They only showed a few missiles hit, no picture of the runways and a bigger picture of the base after the full attack. Oh, they did said Soeleimani was responsible for the death of 600 American soldiers. That was why they killed him in a drone attack.

They had no anti missile air defence system to protect the base! The missiles rained freely into the target air base.

Many purple hearts were awarded and no death? The Purple Heart Medal is awarded to members of the armed forces of the U.S. who are wounded by an instrument of war in the hands of the enemy and posthumously to the next of kin in the name of those who are killed in action or die of wounds received in action. It is specifically a combat decoration.

They claimed the most serious wound to their soldiers were severe headaches. Getting purple hearts for that, for concussion due to shock waves from the bombs? 

The attack also showed that Iran would strike back hard, with 16 of their most powerful missiles.  Could be more.

China should stop playing Santa Claus to ingrates 先小人后君子

Curie Maharani, a defence analyst at Bina Nusantara University in Jakarta, said receiving assistance from China over the submarine could be sensitive.

"On the one hand, help from China can be seen as a way for a great power to use its power responsibly," she said, but by allowing countries with a potential conflict on the horizon to access our submarine "it's almost like exposing our weaknesses".  CNA

When no one can help, when no one is able to help or wants to help, China stepped in to offer assistance. But before work is done, barrage of anti China rhetoric quickly appeared instead of gratefulness. No one is saying thank you to China but mouthing venom at China as enemy and potential threat.  This is what the above statement is saying about China sending 3 deep sea rescue ships to try to lift the sunken Indonesian submarine with 53 dead crew inside. America and some other European countries that Indonesia thought so highly of should have the capability to help if a developing country like China could do it. Even the  Dutch, the ex colonial master of Indonesia could have the capability to help but also kept silence. Only stupid China stepped forward to offer a helping hand but immediately got smeared and attacked.

China should just pull out and let the Indonesians find their own help from their friends, if they regard China as enemy. Why help your enemy that has nothing good to say about you and would badmouth you?

In the human catastrophe happening in India, the same badmouthing is repeated. China sent the most aid to India but not a word of thanks. India thanked practically every country that sent aid, even a few thousand dollars. But the biggest donor is China and it was not even mentioned. 

For goodness sake, China, please wake up. There is no need to try to be nice.  There is no need to help the ingrates, the ungratefuls, no need to help countries that regard you as enemies. You are only encouraging them to be your enemies. They know that they could scold you, attack you, demonise you, and you would stupidly throw money and aid at them. And they don't even have to acknowledge or say a word of thanks. Instead they would spit at you.

Grow up China. Stop being a fool. Enemies must be treated like enemies. A snake is always a snake. It would only bite you even if you offer food to them. China cannot keep feeding its enemies. It is like telling them being enemies of China has privileges and China will keep being nice to them by throwing money at them. Thus there is no need to be friends of China.

China must stop and even pull out all the aid going to India. They would never be grateful and would never be your friend. Period.

China's enemies have already drawn the line and which side they are on. There is no need to be nice to them and hoping that they would change sides. Let them be, let them be happy to be your enemies without you having to feed them and be nice to them. Look at how much hate the 5 eyes countries have for you and how hard they are trying to bring you down. They are digging every shit, true or false to attack China.  They just want to destroy China. What the hell for trying to appease them? Fuck them.

The more China tries to be good, the more they treat China as a fool, even calling China hypocrites. They are still in love with their ex colonial masters that massacred their forefathers and made them colonies.

先小人后君子 is the only way to deal with shits.

PS. Silly Australia wants to start a war with China. RT

In a nutshell, the country’s political establishment is pushing propaganda through various institutions, namely the mass media, to drum up public support for a war with China – a war that they want, not one that is inevitable. So blatant is this attempt that some former officials have spoken out. 

Australia needs a 1 week moratorium on talking about Taiwan, just so everyone can do a little basic reading. https://t.co/tLkTIPgDHU
