Fashion houses profited from forced labour?

French magistrates have opened an inquiry into allegations that four fashion groups including Uniqlo and the owner of Zara profited from forced labour of the Uyghur minority in China, a judicial source said Thursday. AFP

What a joke. The French court inquiry about a few fashion houses profiting from alleged forced labour. How hypocritical can these evil white men be? France profited not only from forced labour but from massacring the natives of Africa when it invaded the continent.  France was also involved in the slave trades.  Who else were involved in the slave trades, many times more evil and cruel than forced labour? Heard of slavery, hunting and capturing African slaves in Africa? Britain was the biggest slave traders, and America the biggest beneficiary and the worst exploiters of African slaves. France, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Holland, Belgium,etc etc, practically all the European powers were engaged in the slave trades.

Oh, my apologies. Slave trading and using slaves to work in the farms and factories and what else were not profiting from forced labours. It was profiting from slave labour. My humble apologies for not being able to tell the difference. USA, UK, France, Germany, Spain, Holland, Portugal, Belgium etc etc did not profit from forced labour.  But they got free labour, and became very rich and powerful, free labour from the slaves.

Yes, yes, such nice and friendly and kind and compassionate and generous countries and people. Ok, go and investigate these companies on the alleged and fabricated charges of profiting from forced labour. There is no need to investigate countries profiting from slavery.

Ya?

There is another justification why slave labour should not be a crime. The slaves were subhumans and did not have any rights like human beans unlike the forced labour. Since the slaves were subhuman beans, so no need to bother, no need to investigate. Right?

COVID-19 Vaccines: "Benefits Outweigh The Known Risks" Sounds Like A Magical Concoction Of A Snake Oil Seller?

"The authority’s assessment is that the benefits of the vaccines continue to outweigh the known risks in a pandemic."

1. Assessment is not conviction and belief. Assessment is just an analysis based on available information and it is purely a mathematical calculation. Nothing else. It is not based on considerations of human sufferings, damages to human health and potential deaths, irrespective of statistical percentage of damages occurred in a given population.

2. To the vaccines producers, of course, it goes without saying, the benefits outweigh the risks. The benefits to the vaccines producers are huge monetary gains on a regular basis, without any risk.

3. The risks are borne by the victims of the effects from the vaccines. The vaccines producers do not and will not suffer any risk because they have protected themselves against any liability and claims for compensation by inclusion of a clause to absolve themselves of any responsibility and liability for mishaps caused by the vaccines that they have produced and sold.

4. To the government, of course, the benefits outweigh the risks because the government does not suffer the risks. Anyone taking the vaccination is made to sign a no-claims indemnity form to absolve the government of any responsibility and liability from any mishap, neglect or mistake.

5. The assessment is that the "benefits outweigh the known risks". Pay special attention to the word "KNOWN". It means the assessment has not considered the UNKNOWN but potential, probable and possible risks. Therefore, the benefits may not outweigh the potential, probable and possible risks. These are long-term risks that only time will tell. At present, nobody is the wiser. Not even the scientists who invented or created those vaccines, because they have not tested the vaccines for long-term effects yet. So, basically, the assessment by the government is an ostrich mentality assessment of convenience, at best.

6. So, basically the phrase "benefits outweigh the known risks in a pandemic" sounds more like a magical concoction of a snake oil seller.

Think again.

PS.  I am putting this up first as this is a current hot topic. Still have several pieces in the queue.

China has assume the role to defend the victims of white oppression and bullying

 A BBC reporter asked China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi why China is supporting Argentina in claiming the return of the Falklands Islands. He said China is so far away and Falklands have nothing to do with China. China should mind its own business.

Wang Yi told him Xinjiang, Hong Kong and Taiwan are so far away from England and the US and have nothing to do with them. They should also mind their own business.

China has not only stood up but has declared that it would support the causes of oppressed and victimised countries and people against white supremacy and hegemony, bullying and oppression.  China has identified 17 islands still under the control of the white colonialist and would support the cause for their return to the original natives of the islands.  And this includes the return of the Ryukyu Islands.

In his speech on the centenary of the CCP, Xi Jinping said China would not be bullied by any country.  Anyone trying to do so would be bashed. This is a warning to all the little dogs and cats, the cronies and lackeys of the evil American Empire, especially those in Asean, that they would be caned very harshly if they try. 

China is now taking its rightful place as a super power and also the defender of the weak nations against white supremacists and hegemony. China would not only speak up, but would support and act on this commitment as the leader of the developing nations. China is willing and ready to commit military forces to the defend the oppressed countries of the world.

China's wolf warrior diplomacy is now not only defending China against the attacks by the West but also defending the rest of the world by the West. The West have been accusing China of aggressiveness when they were whacking China daily with all kinds of wild allegations and fake news. They did not know what is an aggressive China yet. Now they are going to see China standing up into their faces and poking into their eyes to protect the victims of the West.

The West think it is their right to oppress and suppress and bully the rest to the world. This is the past, no more. China, as a responsible leader of the world, would stand up for what is right and would defend the weak against the bulllies and gangsters. Now the West would know what is an aggressive and responsible China. They want China to play a bigger and more responsible role in world affairs. China is stepping into the plate.

From now on, China would not be the defensive party, taking the blows.  China would be the initiator and would redress the injustice committed by the West against the countries and people of the world.

Welcome to a New World Order that not only the West can do the shouting and bullying, China would not allow that and would also be shouting back. There is now a level playing field and injustice and inequality of the past would have to cease. There would be a rule of law for all countries. No more lawlessness of the American and western hegemony.

COVID-19 Vaccination: The Experts Committee Gives Advise Only, YOU Are The Ones Who Make The Critical Decision And Shoulder The Ultimate Responsibility!

Why is the Singapore Experts Committee On Vaccines recommending the still-doubtful experimental mRNA vaccines to be injected to our young children, with only data given to them by the vaccines producers and salespeople, without own research and analytical data presented to the public in detail? Because the Experts Committee gives advice only. And advice can be given by anyone, irrespective of his background and real qualifications, irrespective of his wisdom and sincerity, and irrespective of his political inclination and self-interests.

The Experts Committee expects us to believe in whatever it says just by repeating the words of the vaccines producers or using the US CDC's words to substantiate its own points of view. This looks like a joke, if anything.

The Experts Committee's behaviour of late, using character assassination and ad hominem attacks upon doctors who voiced their opinions and recommended prudence and caution, not only tarnished its own image but also eroded our confidence in its ability to provide proper scientific advice regarding life-and-death matters, with regard to the new experimental mRNA Vaccines.

In the final analysis, the Public must always bear in mind that "Advice is still ADVICE ONLY", no matter who provides it, whether it's from a real expert or from a charlatan. The final decision and ultimate responsibility remain in the hands of the decision-maker/s, that is YOU! If anything goes wrong, the advice-provider can quickly turn around and rebut that he did not make the decision; YOU are the one who made that decision.

Head they win, tail they also win! You get the drift?

Vaccines Dangers - Should We Err On Caution Or Blunder On Trying To Protect Credibility Of Experts Committee?

In a Facebook post on Monday (June 28) criticising the motives behind an open letter by five doctors addressed to the Chairman of the government appointed experts committee, a senior infectious diseases specialist with the National Centre for Infectious Diseases, David Lye said that the letter was penned by three of the same doctors who were behind a previous letter by 12 doctors decrying the effectiveness and safety of messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) vaccines.

David Lye is a member of the 14-member expert committee on Covid-19 vaccination advising the Ministry of Health (MOH).

The new letter that circulated over the weekend and is published on the Facebook page of Dr Kho Kwang Po was also undersigned by Dr Wong Wui Min, a cardiologist and heart specialist at WM Wong Cardiac and Medical Clinic in Gleneagles Hospital.

The other signatories are Dr Chia Ai Mian, Dr Louis Loo Wee Ping and Dr Yang Ing Woei. 

They wrote asking for a “short delay” of a few weeks to Singapore’s “massive” and “most aggressive mRNA programme” for boys in the world, to allow more “high quality data” on the possible fatal effects of mRNA vaccines in youth to emerge from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) or other global bodies.

They also referred to the most recent data on myocarditis, or heart inflammation, in adolescents and asked if the authorities here could take “a more sensible and prudent posture”.

The letter said that more information about the vaccinations is needed, because a 13-year-old boy in the United States had died from heart failure after getting the second dose of a Covid-19 vaccine. 

Singapore had greenlit the rollout of the Pfizer-BioNTech mRNA vaccine to those aged 12 to 15 last month, in light of the Delta variant of the coronavirus that was spreading at the time among school-going teenagers.

PS. Below is by Redbean

These experts are putting their necks on the chopping block to issue this letter. Their action says something is very serious and must be stopped. They are risking their reputation to take a stand to save the young...and open themselves to be challenged, ridiculed or threatened.  These are very brave and highly responsible men and women that came out during a crisis, to wave a red flag about a very dangerous situation now and in the future.

Do not ignore them and their warnings.
