10 Downing Street welcomes PM Sunak

 

Snap shots from Hindustan Times.

All wares and cutlery would be auctioned off. Dining would be banana leaves and by hands. No more Yorkshire pudding and pies or fish and chips. It would be masala chicken, curry and rice.

Singapore looking at third world country as role model

IN FOCUS: Experiencing Rwanda's plastic bag ban, and whether Singapore could adopt a similar approach

Rwanda's approach of banning plastic bags with stiff penalties in 2008 has reaped environmental rewards. What lessons could Singapore learn in its own push to cut its massive amounts of plastic waste?

Above CNA article by Aqil Haziq. 'But the white sign that confronted me as I cleared customs in Rwanda’s Kigali airport last month presented a rather unusual message: "Use of non-biodegradable polythene bags is prohibited."'

 

Let's say Singapore is so inspired by Rwanda and forbid use of non biodegradable polythened bags not only for carry items but also the packaging for all items, rice, instant noodles, instant 3 in 1, frozen seafood etc etc, everything must use paper wraps like in the above photo, what would life be like in Singapore? Coming home from the market would leave a trail of water all the way. Putting the items in the car boot would mean water dripping as well. How about wrapping all your rubbish and swill in paper bags to throw into the rubbish chute?

 

Singapore must also send a notice to all the suppliers of goods to Singapore, all items must now be packed in non biodegradable polythene bags. All the frozen stuff must be wrapped in paper bags? Brilliant. 

Let's see how the super talents respond to this since everyone is earning millions and must come up with million dollar solutions to justify their million dollar salaries. Saving the use of plastic bags would be miniscule. The effort would probably cost more than the savings.

My solution to lesser waste, lesser use of plastics, lesser demands for housing and cars, just stop exploding the population. Just by cutting down one head imported, it would save one year of waste effort. Pardon the pun. Imagine how much would be the savings if Singapore cut down importing 100,000 foreigners annually!

This world is getting more wicked, just for the sake of making more money

 The American hegemony all boils down to money, to control the world, to dictate to the world, to create instability and war, but within their control, just to sell more weapons. War is big business to the Americans, the biggest manufacturer and exporter of weapons. Other than wars, a corollary is forming gangs, gangsterism, and offering every member weapons and weapon systems, not building infrastructures to benefit the people and economic activities.  Everyday, everywhere the Americans pop up, they would be offering to sell more weapons to whoever that they could sell to by stoking fears.

The Americans always look for easy way out to make money. Other than wars and printing money, they have found another lucrative ATM, selling vaccines, fake vaccines also can, as long as they could find enough suckers or collaborators to go along. Better still if the collaborators are governments that can compel or mandate the consumption of the vaccines by its citizens. With their control of the media, and with many silly and willing suckers that believed anything West is good, there will not be shortage of buyers, even after being proven they have been duped wholesale.

Traditionally, and correctly, medicine, vaccines, drugs etc must be prescribed by the medical professionals, not by pharma manufacturers or government institutions. Increasingly we are seeing this changing, that it is the pharma companies or the governments that are prescribing the use of drugs or vaccines, not the medical professionals. How could this be?

When this insanity is accepted as the norm, that governments and pharma companies are given the god forsaken right to not only prescribe the use of drugs and vaccines, but even to make them mandatory, it becomes a license to kill, oops, a license to make money indiscriminately.

Does anyone feel it strange that viruses, or new diseases, or diseases that were thought to have been wiped out for good are resurfacing again, and not in unhygienic slum countries but in clean and developed countries like China, US and Europe? We have seen how quickly Covid19 started in Wuhan, China and then overnight, every nooks and corners of the world have Covid19 virus. This is not ruling out the conspiracy that it all started in the USA, in Fort Detrick and also in Ukraine, Europe.

Now what, monkeypox Made in USA, not in Africa. And the latest, polio, Made in USA, thought to have been eradicated. How convenient, to have these diseases in supposedly hygienic and clean environment USA? And how convenient that the pharma companies have all the vaccines and drugs ready and recommending and prescribing them for mass vaccinations. No need second opinion from the medical professionals. 

How's that when compared to the proliferation of computer viruses one after another, and the proliferation of anti virus companies. Is this another chicken and egg theory, which comes first? Is Nature or the virus the culprit in the spread of viruses, computer viruses and organic and inorganic viruses? Why is it that all conspiracy theories point to the same direction, all man made?

Follow the money. Yes, who is going to make easy money out of these viruses and vaccines? It seems that this is an endless story of viruses appearing one by one, and pharma companies are all going to laugh to the banks.

By the way, with the explosion of Covid19 cases in Japan, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand and many countries using mRNA vaccines, what would anyone be saying of the effectiveness of these vaccines in preventing infection? If this were to happen in the earlier phases of the pandemic, these countries would be called epicentres. And the cases are growing and growing and they have all been numbed by the numbers and pretended that it is the new normal. 

PS. US identifies first cases of monkeypox in children 

Speaking on a conference call, Dr Jennifer McQuiston, deputy director of the CDC's division of high consequence pathogens and pathology, said it is not a surprise that pediatric cases of monkeypox have emerged, but "there is no evidence to date that we are seeing this virus spread outside of" the communities of gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men.

Biden in Saudi Arabia

 

Warm greetings for Biden. And Biden was delighted by the show of love and intent.

High cost of living reveals how stupid politicians can be

Buttigieg suggested that people who are currently struggling to pay over $5 per gallon of gas could offset their “pain” by purchasing an EV instead, the average price of which is over $65,000 according to automotive research company Kelly Blue Book. RT

This Buttigieg was a candidate for the Presidency but lost to Biden. Not sure Biden is more stupid or this Buttigieg.  In his statement he said he said anyone struggling to pay over $5 per gallon of gas should go buy a EV to save cost. Who cares about paying $5 per gallon for gas if he could splurge on a $65k EV? Was Buttigieg thinking, was he logical?

The Americans are so lucky that he is not their elected president. Well, it does not make much difference with Biden in charge. The Americans are scrapping the bottom of the barrel when the best man or woman available were Buttigieg, Trump, Biden, Kamala or maybe Pelosi. The Brits can sing, God Save the Queen, what can the Americans sing? God, please have mercy on the Americans.

And at the national level they are threatening China when China is providing them with cheap and good products to stretch their dollars, especially the American poor, oops, I mean middle class.  China is not only writing the paycheck for the Americans, but also helping them to lower the cost of living. And they got the stupidity to be quarreling with China, raising tariffs and tension with China?

The same applies to the political leaders in Europe. Russia may not be their paymaster, but Russia is their main supplier of cheap oil and gas and also many other essential goods and products. How could they be so stupid to want to start a war with Russia, to threaten Russia and ended up paying more for everything?

These politicians cannot be stupid. They must be insane. Need to send them to the shrinks.

Oh, they are pinning all hopes on Zelensky to defeat Russia when Napoleon and Hitler could not do it with bigger and better trained soldiers and weapons.
