Shameful Rich USA Robs Poor Afghanistan

 After U.S. President Joe Biden's decision last Friday to carve out half the assets of Afghanistan's central bank for U.S. victims of terrorism, including the 9/11 attacks, criticism is mounting of the unusual move, made through an executive order. Many experts say it will act as a final death blow to the country's economy.

"The richest country in the world has decided to rob the poorest country in the world in the name of justice for a crime in which no Afghans participated," said Barnett Rubin, a former advisor to the U.S. and Afghan governments.

"There is something wrong with a financial system where one state can unilaterally block the national assets of another to pay off questionable claims by its own citizens," said Munir Akram, Pakistan's ambassador to the U.N., in a statement on Friday.

The U.S. has held approximately $7 billion of frozen assets of Da Afghanistan Bank, or DAB, since the Taliban takeover in August. In an executive order on Friday -- his first related to Afghanistan -- Biden moved to consolidate all the Afghan assets within the U.S. into the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and issued a recommendation that half, or $3.5 billion, be set aside as damages to be paid to victims of terrorism. However, that second half is also potentially subject to litigation, pending at least one court order.

Suhail Shaheen, a Taliban spokesperson, said that DAB deserves to be entrusted with the assets because it is an independent entity. "It doesn't belong to any faction or government," he said. "So, this step taken by President Biden, in our view, is against the law and international practices."

The administration has faced a wave of criticism since the announcement on Friday. Hamid Karzai, the former president of Afghanistan, called on Biden to reconsider the order, saying it was an "atrocity against Afghan people." Hundreds of civilians holding banners protested in Kabul on Saturday for the release of all assets. DAB protested the executive order as an "injustice," declaring that it would "never accept" any use of the assets other than their full return to Afghanistan.

Many regional experts are expressing disappointment with the decision.

PS.  Where is the justice? Where is the rule of law?  It is the rule of the white gangsters against the poor and hapless tribesmen, like what they did to the indigenous people of America.  Shame, shame, shame, Americans, shame on you.

We lie, we cheat and we steal.

Biden Administration - More coordinated effort to protect American dominance and control of the world

WASHINGTON: The head of the powerful US House of Representatives Ways and Means Committee on Friday (Dec 11) slammed what he called President Donald Trump's "unsophisticated response" to China's ambitions and called for a major recalibration of US policies.

Chairman Richard Neal, a Democrat, urged the future administration of fellow-Democrat Joe Biden to formulate a package of programs and investment to counterbalance China, including through re-energized cooperation with European allies.

Instead of pausing trade talks to focus first on domestic issues, as Biden has said he plans to do, Neal urged the new administration to embrace European overtures to hammer out a new broad trade deal with Europe....

"A new US-European trade arrangement will only enhance our ability to moderate China’s intensifying pursuit of growth and prosperity, which threatens to subject the rest of the world to its economic and political dominance," he said.  Reuters

For more than 500 years since the day the Europeans invaded and raided the rest of the world, colonised and turned countries and people into the slaves, which they called in kinder term, subjects of their empires, that was the world order. A white men's world order, a balance of power in favour of the white men at the expense of the coloured people of the world. 

In the last 100 years, this role was continued by the Americans as the dominant and preeminent number one Empire of the day. What it means is that they are the rich and powerful, they controlled everything in the world, who can be rich and who cannot be rich, who can be part of their world system, who cannot. They decide the fate of every country and its people. Victims of the Americans would be ostracised and isolated from their world system and remained poor, and looked incompetent and unable to manage their countries, their economies and their well being, when the cause is actually the American Empire. Cuba, North Korea, Myanmar and many Latin American and African countries fall into this category.

The Americans could do anything they want, above the law, respecting the law or disregarding the law. The Americans are above the law, lawless, they are not bound by any international law. Any law that is against the evil ways of the Americans would be ignored or torn apart, disrespected and disregarded. They attacked countries at will, invaded countries, conducted regime change, wars, sanctions and bully and oppressed any country they so desired, in the name of the American Empire, in the name of American Exceptionalism, ie above the law and fake democratic values and fake human rights.

Today, China has risen and wanted to grow and prosper and allow its people to live better. This is not acceptable to the Americans. This is called ambitious and a threat to the American way of life and the American Empire and dominance. China is not conducting a war of invasion against the Americans, but wanted its people to live well, to live with respect and dignity. This cannot be allowed. This is aggression, ambitious and must be put down, even by wars if threats and containment do not work.

China's rise and the prosperity of the Chinese people is called a threat to the American way of life and their security, without having to go to war with the Americans. China and its people, must be like the rest of the world, be poorer than the Americans and controlled and dictated and bullied by the Americans as the general order of things. Only the Americans can call the shot, be the top dog of the world. No one else can. Not even the Europeans. This is the American world order and cannot be challenged or changed.

The Biden Administration would be worse than the mad Trump Administration. They want the Europeans to gang up with them to control and cripple China and to rule the world again. China would have to face a bigger threat. China's only hope is for the support of the rest of the world, to help the rest of the world to rise and prosper quickly, to be free from the control and clutches of the Americans and the Europeans, by providing cheaper services and goods to the rest of the world. The world could and would be divided by the Americans and the Europeans on one side against the rest of the world on the other side. When this takes place, they can trade among themselves as the rest of the world would not be able to pay for their goods and services. And China would provide the alternative, the other options of equally good and affordable goods and services. 

This would be the next contest for influence and control for the rest of the world and a new world order. With China's rise, the rest of the world can also rise without being labelled as a threat or enemy of the West and the American Empire, to be isolated, attacked and oppressed, and sanctioned into isolation and poverty, a world order of white men supremacy. There will be a new world order where every country is free to find its own path to growth and prosperity without being attacked and contained by the evil American Empire.

The biggest economy will be China. The biggest consumer market will be in China. The biggest consumers will be the Chinese middle class. China will be the base for future new technologies. Go figure who will win this contest. And the new rich will be from Asia, Africa and Latin America.

Will there still be a place for the rogue and gangster behaviour of the West and America? With the developments in Ukraine, with the Americans wanted to do the Europeans in, dumped them and buried, the Europeans have been woken by a rude shock.  It is all about American first, American prosperity, the Europeans can be sacrificed as gun fodder, to fight the Russians and die for the prosperity and dominance of the American Empire. What are the Europeans thinking, what are they going to do, to be free countries, not colonies of the American Empire, to be kicked around. When would Nord Stream 2 be scuttled by the Americans?

And Trump is coming back if senile Biden could not finish the job.

Taiwan, this pic is so disgraceful!

 

Calling herself President, and she did this. She forgot that 中国人站起来 since 1949. There is no need to beg the white gods for help and charity anymore. So embarrassing.

Warmongering Americans hyping threats and wars

WASHINGTON: US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin spoke on Wednesday (Feb 9) with the defense ministers of South Korea and Japan about the threats posed by North Korea after a series of missile launches by Pyongyang, the Pentagon said. CNA

The Americans, the biggest threat to peace and to all countries, are going around hyping threats and wars, threats from North Korea, from China, from Russia, from Iran etc etc. The latest is Ukraine. The Americans are behaving like savages, seized the moment to write the narratives of an impending war with no regards to the well beings of the Ukrianians and European allies. There must be a war in Europe and they are orchestrating it. The Americans are threatening countries with wars, trade sanctions, fabricating lies about abuses of human rights to justify their hostile actions against them. While the Americans are busily wasting their resources to tell lies, to agitate for wars, to built more weapons of mass destructions, the alleged countries are busily building their own economies, building weapons to defend themselves against the threats of warmongering Americans or building infrastructure and trading peacefully with the rest of the world.

Blinken was very busy in Australia meeting his 3 other gangster countries, Japan, India and Australia to plot evil schemes to attack and contain China's peaceful rise as an economic superpower. China's rise is not acceptable to these evil countries, China and Chinese people cannot be rich and cannot live a good life. So it is the rights of these evil countries to stop China from becoming rich and prosperous. Only they are allowed to be rich and live well.

If only they would divert their resources and manpower to develop their economies to be better than China, they could give China a better fight. Instead, they are scheming for wars of destruction against China and Russia, and hyping both as a threats to their wellbeing, to the dominance of the evil American Empire. Even a poor country like North Korea, they claimed are suffering from poverty and hunger, is a threat to them, like the poor tribesmen in Afghanistan.

In the case of Russia, the hyping of an eminent Russia attack on Ukraine is even denied by the President of Ukraine. No such invasion. The Ukrainians did not think so, did not believe in the American lies, but the Americans keep harping about war and agitating for war. And silly Boris could even call Russia a clear and present danger. The clear and present danger to Ukraine and Europe, the imminence of a war, is coming from the Americans and the Brits.  All the European countries are cowering in fear and trying to distance themselves from this evil scheme of the Anglo Saxon tribe. They know that they would be thrown under the bus when war starts. Europe would be bombed to Stone Age.

North Korea has been bombed and flattened by the Americans during the Korean War and isolated, not allowed to trade with the international communities. But they survived and busily trying to revive and rebuild their country. But the evil Americans have been spreading lies that the Koreans are a threat to the world. How many silly countries really believe that the North Koreans are going to attack them when the North Koreans are minding their own business and don't even know of their existence?

But the international terrorists, the Americans, are relentlessly spreading lies of these threats and publishing silly articles daily to be printed also in their crony countries. Despite the wrath of God with virus spreading wildly in their countries, these evil men and women continue to stir shit, inciting wars and preparing to invade other countries. They did not know that God has it all planned, all out to wipe these evil people from the surface of the earth to stop them from starting more wars and killing more people.

They are the unrepentant and recalcitrant warmongers and must be extinguished before more people die in their hands. God will do the necessary to make sure their evil and wicked plans would not succeed.

The rest of the world are watching carefully at the deceit and treachery of these evil countries. And these evil countries still drunk and think the rest of the world are fools and would believe in their lies and evil agenda.

Let the savages have their wars in Europe. Let them die. The rest of the world can continue to live in peace without the savages.

Workers Party kena cop, cop, cop.

 Now they are going to get rid of the WP by advocating criminal charges against the WP leaders. The fines imposed, if criminal action is successful, will disqualify them effectively from standing for future elections. This is a serious matter going forward with disastrous consequences.

If the WP is totally wiped out, and other opposition parties are unable to get a foothold into Parliament, that spells the end of the opposition story. Then Singaporeans will know the taste of one party rule, and can argue no more, and the powers that be can tighten the noose as they like. More foreigners, bigger population, higher taxes, more changes to rules and regulations will follow. kpkb also cannot shed any more tears.

Now at least, even though the WP is thought to be shackled, the ruling Party is still wary of the threat of losing more GRCs evident in slim margin victories during the last GE. Do not take away this 'Sword of Damocles' hanging over the ruling party's head and let them run riot without consequences. Whether WP or any alternative party as opposition is important. What they are doing with the vaccination and punishment of those unvaccinated is a clear and apparent message of what they are capable of.

The day the opposition failed to have any representation in Parliament, that day will be a black day for Singaporeans, if they just ignore the message on the wall and the agenda hatched by the ruling party to get rid of the opposition for good, ever since Chiam and Low were elected to represent the opposition.

This is a step by the ruling party, slow and discreet, to get rid of the opposition. That Trojan Horse aka Raeesah Khan has done the WP in this time. It was a backstabbing attack that the WP did not foresee.

They say that this pandemic has given those in power, all over the world, the godsend opportunity to tighten their control of their citizens. The people of the West have been given that freedom of choice and are protesting against infringement of their rights by the authorities. Let us see.
