Queen is dead...payback time

 

 The death of Queen Elizabeth marks the end of the British Empire, the closure of the last chapter of the Empire. The significance of this day is the revival of the suppressed angst of the former colonies that were robbed and massacred by the Brits in the heydays of invasion and conquest by the European savages. It was more hurting to the conquered colonies to see the Brits still flaunting the precious stones stolen from them at a time when might was right and human rights and sovereignty were easily trampled with immunity.

India and South Africa are calling for the return of the stolen diamonds and treasures by the British crown. And this must include all the loots in the British Museums that they displayed with pride and arrogance, as their possession, British treasures they simply took from the colonies. And this is only the first step in the return of stolen goods from the colonies.

Poland has started a precedence in claiming war damages from Nazi Germany for their losses during the invasion in WW2. This is just a trickle considering the colonies around the world that the British invaded and looted and ruled for centuries. India has a long list of claims for the 400 years of British rule and the numerous massacres of Indians in the wars fought and suppressed by the Brits. Africa has a list not lesser than the Indians to claim against the Brits.

Though China was not fully colonised, the debt could be much bigger, considering the Opium Wars forced upon the Chinese, to sell harmful drugs to the Chinese and the subsequent war reparations forced upon China that bankrupted China. It would be settled in today's currency, inflation counted. And the 150 years of ruling Hong Kong would also have to be settled. It was an unequal treaty signed under duress and China would want to claim every cent from the Brits for the lost of their national territory. Payback time is here.

Once this process is started, it would snowball all over the world and every country that were invaded, looted and rules by the British, including South East Asia, the Middle East and Latin America would be queueing outside 10 Downing Street with their long list of debt owed by the British. Yes, it was great, convenient, not questionable, violent objection would be quashed, it was might was right then when the British had the upper hand in military hardware, to conquer, to massacre and loot and rule lands belonging to the natives of the land. 

When one is strong and mighty, like the Americans now, it was the law to do as one pleased without having to answer for them. When one is no longer the mighty Empire but a pale shadow of itself, the victims would rise to demand for justice, for the debt to be settled. The debt cannot be forgotten or written off. 

It is payback time. The compensation would include many things, including the intangibles. Victims of British Colonialism should set up a tribunal to work out a formula to claim against the Britain for all the crimes and sins committed against time. What stupid Commonwealth must be disbanded as it is an insult to he colonised people and nation state to honour this dishonourable organisation built to glorified British crimes against humanity for centuries.

The Queen is dead. There is no need for fake niceties. There is no need to pretend that the British were nice people, never kill, never rob, never commit crimes against the colonised countries. Anyone still have good feeling for the invaders of their countries and think it is right to be royal and loyal to the British Crown which in reality, in modern language, were robbers and murderers?

The fantasy should be left in the books of European fairy tales, that white men are blessed to conquer and rule over coloured people, that coloured people had no rights and ownership of their land, that the white men is blessed and authorised by their white God to own these land and civilise and rule over the coloured people.

A new awakening has started, and a new chapter is being written.

PS. Did Modi attend the funeral? Why would a big power like India, invaded, plundered, massacred and ruled by the Brits for 400 years want to visit the dead Queen? The Indians have pride and know their history and know that being colonised and ruled were a bad and shameful thing, nothing to be proud of.

Proven: The Killing Of Abu Akleh Was Deliberate

The findings of a Joint Investigation into the killing of a female journalist Abu Akleh, have been confirmed to be a deliberate and wilfull act by an Israrli Sniper, under the instructions of the Israeli High Command. This explains why the Israeli has refused to conduct any investigation at all!

The family of the female journalist of Al Jazeera, Abu Akleh, has also submitted a formal official complaint to the International Criminal Court (ICC), demanding justice for her killing. (Can this ICC be trusted at all?)

Abu Akleh's brother Anton said his family would do whatever it takes to ensure accountability for her killing.

How is he going to do this against an overwhelmingly superior military force under the protection of the Israeli Government? If there is a will, there is a way!

“Like we said before, and like other reports said previously, there were more than 16 shots fired towards Shireen and the media and her colleagues who were standing in that ally,” he told Al Jazeera. “They even targeted the person who was trying to pull her into safety after she was shot down.”

The complaint is supported by the Palestinian Press Syndicate and the International Federation of Journalists (IFJ).

Earlier this month, Israel said that there was a “high possibility” that its forces had killed Abu Akleh, but said it would not be launching a criminal investigation.

Multiple investigations carried out by the United Nations, Israeli and Palestinian human rights organisations, and leading news outlets have concluded that Abu Akleh was killed by an Israeli soldier, no doubt under the directions of the Israeli Government and Military Forces.

Justice has to be seen to be done, not by political rhetorics from some shady characters hidden at high places.

The beauty is that the Israeli Military and Government have to account this murderous act to Al Jazeera, which is owned by USA! How will this go down in the history of Israeli-US relations?

USA wants Europe to depend on them instead on energy, completely

 The real reason is the USA wants Europe to depend on them instead on energy, completely, so that they can continue to control the Europeans. That is the first main reason. The second reason is the USA wants to muscle in on the lucrative energy market in Europe. They have been eyeing this for years, even before the construction of Nord Stream 2.

By so doing, the USA is doing so much harm to the Europeans, especially when Putin decided to use energy weapon against the Europeans instad. It was a masterstroke of a genius. But never, mind, whatever harm befalls the Europeans, to the Evil USA, it is all collateral damage. The same language they used in justifying their killing millions of innocent women and children all over the world.

That is why they were so adamant that Nord Stream 2 could never start to pump gas to Europe with all the threats of sanctions against even those involved in it's construction. Had Angela Merkel been around, things would have been different. She had more marbles than Schulz to say no to the USA.

Things have gone so far downhill for the USA under Biden that he is now hinting he may not be going for a second term. Why the change of heart? He is obviously not going to be around to bear the shame of China overtaking the USA during his watch, and stay to shoulder the blame, after being so 'gung ho' in saying that he would not allow this to happen during his watch. He will have to eat his own humble pie. Just like George W. Bush declaring 'mission accomplished' in Iraq, days after the invasion, a country that the USA destroyed and is still embroiled in conflict. Bush admittedly said in no undertain terms, in later years, that his 'mission accomplished' shout was a mistaken belief.

The USA is now trying to antagonise and exert pressure on India by using Pakistan and upgradhing the Pakistani military jets. Why they are doing this now is obvious. This is expected action, knowing the evil USA will create enemies for those who go aginst them. India has not been towing their line on Ukraine and still supporting Russia in energy imports. The USA wants India to join them in capping the price of oil from Russia, which India would not follow. Now the USA is getting more upset with India and will create problems for India for sure.

Xinjiang is the next most prosperous province of China

 

Urumqi Olympic Stadium

Xinjiang would be as rich and developed as the eastern province of China. Urumqi would be the Shanghai of western China. With the BRI and the opening up of Central Asia and the growing importance of land transportation made possible by high speed trains, global trade and communication would not be the same again. When trade was solely dependent on sea routes, maritime cities and states enjoyed unprecedented growth for being in the trade routes. Landlocked countries and cities were left out from the main trading activities. Xinjiang and the Central Asian countries were in a way abandoned, left isolated and to survive thriftily on the fringes of the world. They resigned to the fate of being underdeveloped and poor and make do with their barren lands and isolation.

The fate of the Central Asian states would be dramatically changed for the better. Xinjiang would be the western gateway of China and would benefit tremendously from the trades that by passed the region. As many as half of the trade could go pass Xinjiang to and through Central Asia to Europe and vice versa. If the eastern provinces of China can prosper by trade, Xinjiang too would do just as well. The biggest beneficiary of this transformation, a paradigm shift if international trade would be the minorities in Xinjiang, the Uyghurs and other Muslim minorities. They could become one of the richest Muslim people in the world.

This is China's plan to develop Xinjiang and Central Asia, the next growth centre of the world. But there is a caveat. The Americans would not want this to happen. They need the Muslim minorities in the region to bring down China, to stop China's growth. The fake support of Uyghurs and fabricated discrimination, forced labour and genocide were created to be used as an excuse to incite the Muslims to create unrest in the region. The banned on produce from Xinjiang, the fruit of Muslim minority labour, is a ploy to impoverish the Muslims in Xinjiang to agitate and incite unrest in the province. Stopping purchase of Xinjiang produce would adversely affect the income and standard of living of the Uyghurs and Muslims in the region. In the guise of supporting their fabricated allegations of forced labour and genocide, the Americans are trying to cripple the economy and livelihood of the Uyghurs and Muslims, to keep them poor and unhappy. This devious plot of the Americans cannot be allowed to succeed if the Uyghurs and Muslims hope to prosper in the opening up of Central Asia and the revitalising of trade and economic activities in Xinjiang.

The people of Xinjiang has a very bright future when 50 per cent of China Europe trade passes through the region. They will be in the heart of all the economic activities and would be the main beneficiary. Maritime trade would have to compromise and share half of its volume to land trade through central Asian. The impact on maritime trade would be significant with the opening and development of land trade through Central Asia. The pie may grow but a big portion of the pie would be diverted to land trade. This is the new reality for maritime states. It is time that they realise and make adjustments for a smaller piece of the cake. Tuas may be too big for a smaller pie.

Xinjiang can look forward to becoming the new region of growth if all things go as planned by the Xi govt. The Muslims in Xinjiang has a bright and prosperous future to look forward to, sitting at the western gateway into China, the old silk route.

National flag at half mast for foreign leaders

Singapore flag flown half mast for the Queen of the British Empire, our former head of state when Singapore was a colony, out of respect and cherishing memory of our colonial past. Any Singaporean wishes for the British to come and rule us again like the Hongkongers? Would Singapore be seen as not showing respect to other foreign leaders if we don't fly half mast for them going forward? Is Singapore going to fly half mast for Abe, the ex PM of Japan, out of respect or whatever?

It is yet to be confirmed, or at least I have not read it any where, that Singapore is going to fly half mast for Abe. If Singapore does, it would mean that Singapore have flown half mast to two WW2 Empires. Both have something in common with respect to Singapore. Both invaded, colonised and ruled Singapore in one form or another. And Japan also is noted and hated by many Singaporeans for the atrocities and massacres of many residents here, mainly the Chinese, but also loved by some Singaporeans today that did not suffer under Japanese rule and atrocities. Abe paid his respect annually at the Yasukuni Shrine to show his love and respect to the war criminals. How many did the British killed when they took control of Singapore is not recorded in the British history books. Probably very small if any, as they were little resistance to the British occupation and colonisation.

The Americans terminated the native Americans to ensure that there would not be able to challenge and claim back their land. The Japanese tried it in China, to terminate the Chinese. Anyone remember these cruel and barbaric acts of the Americans and Japanese, and also the British in India and Africa?

Assuming that Singapore flew the flag half mast for Abe, would this become a precedence, like flying the flag half mast for the Queen of England? Would Singapore then be seen as being unfair if it did not fly half mast for the President of the USA or China? Or closer to us, would Singapore fly half mast for the Sultan of Malaysia, or President of Indonesia or the Sultan of Brunei? Not the same, because they were not our colonial masters? In the case of Abe, he was not a serving PM. Would the ex American Presidents also think Singapore should also fly half mast for Bush or Obama or whoever was the ex President of the USA?

I think Malaysia would have a very good case for Singapore to fly half mast using the Queen of England as a precedent. Singapore was once in Malaysia, and Singaporeans too were citizens of Malaysia, something unlike the colonial subjects of the British Empire or the Japanese Empire. Actually subjects of an Empire does not equate to citizenship, a lower class, maybe a polite term for servants or slaves of the Empire. At least when Singapore was in Malaysia, we were citizens and have citizenship rights, as equals to all citizens of Malaysia then.

Would I be suffering from depression now that I have no chance to have tea with the Queen of England? I still remember dearly that I was once a British subject, aka servant or slave of the British Empire. Wondering if this is something to be proud of or ashamed of. Anyway as migrants, it was a matter of choice or lack of choice. When one is a poor, pride should be kept in the waste bin. At least today we can have a bit of dignity as citizen of an independent state and not have to sing God Save the Queen, and not a subject of the British or Japanese Empire.

 PS. Any tour agency organising a Pay respect to the Queen tour to England? Don't underestimate the love and respect for the Queen of England by the bananas and the stupid. Many must also be suffering from depression with the death of the Queen.
