White vultures' market manipulation SOP

"When poor countries go through an economic shock, the vultures of Wall Street descend upon them and destroy their currencies and bonds. "

And their stock markets also.

How did the American banks operate?

When they want to target a particular Asian country, first the US bank borrow say USD 2 billon worth of that Asian country's currency. Then they sell USD 1 billion worth of that Asian currency, causing the currency to collapse in thin (ie no liquidity) forex markets.

At the same time, they short-sell the Asian country's stocks, causing the stock market to tumble.

The Asian central bank, wanting to punish short-sellers of the Asian currency, then raise sharply their local interest rates to make borrowing costs very high for FX short-sellers, which also exacerbate the fall in local stock prices. That's when the Asian central bank fell into the US banks' trap. Because the US bank still have on hand USD 1 billion worth of the Asian currency (remember, they borrowed USD 2 billion worth and shorted just USD 1 billion worth of the Asian currency).

With the remaining USD 1 billion worth of Asian currency, they lent these out at very high interest rates, thanks to the central bank's rate hike.

After the Asian currency and stocks plunged enough, the US banks covered their short Asian currency and equities positions.

From their vicious operation, the US banks made very huge profits in their short-currency, short-equities and high-interest lending - all out of thin air !

So China is wise not to lift all its yuan forex capital controls.

Independence Day 2.0 - True Independence a work in progress

 500 years of bullying, exploitation and killings by the white men is coming to an end, but may take a bit longer.

In the years immediately after WW2, countries of the world were crying and fighting for their independence from white men's colonial rule and imperialism. It was a cry for freedom from colonialism and western imperialism.

They got independence but not real freedom. The white men continue to rule the coloured people by a new kind of colonialism, ruling their minds, their thinking, with the media, and military might. They spread the narrative that the white men were superior to them, their saviours. Just like four legs were good, two legs better. It was coloured people were good, white men were better. 

The coloured people were drugged by this narrative and were manipulated to hate and fight against each other with the white men standing outside the ring yelling at them to keep fighting and keep killing each other, and selling them plenty of the best weapons of course. You are under threat from this and that, you need to buy more weapons. The coloured people make enemies of each other, did not trust each other, while the white men sowed distrust and create enmities among the coloured people.

The coloured people's mind is still enslaved by the white men. Look at how the coloured people fear and hate China, North Korea, Iran, Russia etc etc countries that did them no harm, instead they are still madly in love the white men, the warmongers and terrorists that invaded many countries, starting wars everywhere, sanctioning and bullying countries, threatening countries and killing coloured people.

Now there is another call for freedom and independence of the mind and thinking. The coloured people must start to think and see who are the real devils and evil men that is threatening them and world peace. Who are the real enemies of the coloured people?

This is the second revolution, to be really free from the mental control by the white men, to think independently, clearly and to decide on what is good for them, in their own interests, to chart their own future, not be controlled and blinded by the white men. Not to accept American dominance as a normal state of affair. The enslavement of the minds of the coloured people by the daily bombarbment of western media that white men are good, white men's lies are the truth, white men's fake democracy and fake ideas of human rights are the values to live by, and subconsciously to continue to be enslaved by white men's superiority and hegemony,... must be brought to an end.

For peace and prosperity and a better life for the coloured people of the world, the myth of white men's supremacy, white men's fake values that is all about the control of the coloured people through wars and conflicts and military might, must be destroyed. This is the second awakening, the second fight for freedom, for real independence from the white men. The physical independence of taking control of one's own land is only partial independence. Total independence is freedom, is when the mind is set free, free from the control of white men's media and their narratives. 

A very good example of mental colonisation is the people of Hong Kong. They are still colonised by Britain inside their heads and unable to break free, to be truly independent in their thoughts. The HongKongers are madly in love with British colonial rule and dying to have the British back to rule them. But knowing that the British cannot be back, they are willing to give up their citizenship and fly to Britain to be ruled by the British all over again. 

In a way, Singapore is not far behind Hong Kong. Look at the bananas, what they said, what they liked, how they adored the Queen. These are the signs that they are still colonial subjects of the British Empire. Some Asean states are also not fully independent from their colonial masters. A bit of the Stockholm Syndrome is at play in their mindset. They still feel attached to their colonial masters, and white men's fakery and lies are their moral compass of goodness and being civilised...forgetting the massacres and cruelties committed by the colonial masters.

A second example is the British Commonwealth. Why would colonised nations, now independent, still want to be a member of this colonial vestige to remind them that they were once colonies, not citizens, and to respect the King/Queen of England as their head? Don't they feel ashame to be still a part of the evil colonial heritage? Should not they bury this shameful and demeaning organisation for good? Or they are still having fond memories of their colonisation and want to keep this memories alive, the good old days and feel very good about it? Colonisation was only a good thing in the history books written by the colonial masters, a good thing for them, not the colonised people? To the colonial powers, it was never a crime to conquer, rule and plunder a country of its wealth and make its people semi slaves of the empire with no human rights, just sub humans.

A third example is when Washington called, everyone would obediently, without a second thought, without asking why, packed and flew to Washington with a big entourage of cabinet ministers. For what they did not know, could they say no and not attend? No. This is a sign of the lack of freedom, still colonised inside the heads. Go, they must... when the master summoned. What went through the heads of the Americans when the African leaders formed a beeline like sheep to greet the Emperor?

Free and independent nations do not take orders from Washington meekly. Free and independent nations are free to decide if they wish or do not wish to go to Washington. When they are not independent, not going is not an option. The subconscious told them to go, it is like second nature. None have doubts about their independence. None question their independence or freedom to choose, to say no. It did not occur in their minds that they need not have to go. The Americans are not their colonial masters or overlord.

True freedom and independence would come when they can see through the lies and fakeness of the white men, able to see the white men as what they really are, another human bean like them, and believe in themselves that they are the equals of the white men, no more unthinking believers of the Pinkerton Syndrome.

True freedom is when your mind is set free. When Nelson Mandela was imprisoned in his cell, he was still a free man. His mind was free. They could lock him up physically, but cannot lock his soul and his mind. There is still some way to go for the ex colonies to be truly freed from being colonised people.

Oh, the white men, under the American Empire, is still in control of the world. They can bully the rest of the world with sanctions, regime change and threats of war if any country would dare to go against their interest. They dictate to the world, with their own rules based order, their rules, their orders, not international rules under the UN.

Positive news article about China became a negative one

A few days ago something happened in Beijing

Reporter Brett Sutton of Bloomberg wrote a News Article: Beijing slowly goes back to Normal amidst Covid 19 concerns

He mentioned clearly that Beijing was going back to normal, malls were slowly filling up and the people were starting to have a feel of the pre-pandemic days.

The Article was uploaded at 10:43 PM IST (1:13 AM China)

Then BOOM at 4:53 AM IST (7:23 AM China) - the Article disappeared.

I searched a lot but it vanished.

Then I realized the Article was still there but the Headline had changed to: Beijing stuck in Rut as Crematoriums and Hospitals flooded

It was edited by some person sitting in USA (or in the West).

The body of the news was virtually the same but the English was so subtly modified that a positive news article became a negative one.

Brett had said: The Head of Epidemiology said that they were optimistic about the lower severity of the disease and the far lower hospitalizations compared to the Shanghai outbreak that China managed to contain by breaking the chain of transmission.

This was completely deleted.

Brett had said: The crematoriums were working at full capacity owing to a severe staff shortage. The average waiting time was almost 6 hours compared to less than 90 minutes in the pre-pandemic days.

Thus clearly demonstrating that the crematoriums were full because of staff shortage and not due to extra deaths.

This was modified to: The crematoriums are working at full capacity and it now takes 6 hours for a family to finish the formalities due to the place being overrun with families mourning their dead.

Now implying that there were lots of bodies, cleverly bypassing the staff shortage.

Finally Brett spoke to someone who was identified by name who said: We were prepared for a wave of infections. We had been warned that it would rise to a peak before it would end and we are ready. We are satisfied with the response with the Government and the Fever Clinics have proved very useful. I am just glad we are going back to normal at last.

Instead this was deleted to a source that did not wish to be named said: We are scared and worried about the Efficacy of our Vaccines and that we may never go back to normal again. We don't know how many are dying everyday.

Now the Censors Office decided to Summon Brett to their offices and asked him for an explanation.

How is it that an Article that you upload at 1 AM changes so dramatically by 7 AM?

The Reporter looked genuinely embarrassed and said: The Editors are changing the news!!! They are modifying everything off site.

Thus Brett who is on the ground and writes reality is being phased out and his article is openly being manipulated into lies by some people in US who want to shape the news as per their narrative.

Their excuse - China is a Authoritarian Nation and is intimidating everyone and hiding stats.

Next Question: Who is this Unnamed Source? Produce the Sound Byte File please or the Video please

There was no Unnamed Source and no Sound Byte

That's how bad things are!

The Western Media is SO VICIOUS that they are ignoring whatever comes from their own reporters back in China.

The excuses they make is that the reporters in China are being intimidated or even worse - that anyone who says he is relieved that the lockdowns are ending - is subject to brutal CPC oppression.

How can you fight against such an Enemy?

They will write whatever lies they want to and they will ignore all the truth citing some bogus excuse - whatever number China gives is a Lie; whatever positive a Chinese says is because of Intimidation.

American Scapegoat Trap

 The Americans have been spreading the debt trap for several years now and increasingly this begins to ring hollow to the recipients of this dirty narrative. What the Americans did not expect from their devious allegation is that the debt trap has backfired and the whole world get to know that the Americans and their World Bank and IMF were the biggest conspirators in using debt trap to keep many countries in debt, especially the African states and most prominently Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka is deeply in debt due to the massive loans and high interest rates it is paying to the American control organisations and western banks. Whatever debt owed by Sri Lanka to China for infrastructure development is only a small fraction of its debt to American and western banks. In fact, the debt incurred for the building of the Hantambota Port is fully settled when China and Sri Lanka converted it into a long term lease. No more debt. But the debt trap created by the American agencies and western banks is still hanging over the neck of Sri Lanka.

The Americans have many organisations with budget in the hundreds of millions existing just to create propaganda and negative narratives to attack China, Russia and all the countries they labelled as enemies of the evil American Empire. One of their unspoken strategy is the Scapegoat Trap to heap blames and responsibilities onto China, Russia, North Korea, Iran etc etc. In the case of North Korea, it is made the scape goat for the tension in the Korean Peninsula when the culprits are the Americans, South Koreans and Japanese. These three gangsters have been conducting provocative military exercises simulating an invasion of North Korea. And the exercises could easily be turned into a real invasion. This is the real threat in the Korean Peninsula but the western media conveniently put all the blame on North Korea and many silly countries and American stooges chose to believe in the American narrative.

Every crisis or war in the world is now the responsibility of China. China is the scape goat for all the wars and troubles started by the Americans. The trade war, technology war, chip war, etc etc were all started by the Americans. But the narrative is that China must scale down the war, China must negotiate or back off from these wars. It is China to stop them, China is responsible for ending these wars.

The trade war with Australia started by the Morrison govt is the responsibility of China. China must not escalate the war, China must cool down and lower the temperature. Again, it is all China's fault. Even silly Asean countries are telling China to be responsible and to end the trade war. This is how powerful the western media is. Or is it? Could it be that the stooges would just sing the chorus written by their masters? The stooges cannot be so stupid to think that it was China that started the trade war with Australia and China is responsible to end it?

The European leaders, the victims of the Ukraine War, are marching to Beijing to seek help from China to talk to Putin to end this war. What is the logic behind this? Are the European leaders that stupid, or are they so devious?

The whole world knows who was the cause of this war. The whole world knows that Zelensky was at the point of ending the war in its early days after negotiating with the Russians. It was Boris that pressured or goaded Zelensky to continue with the war. And the Americans are behind the whole devilish scheme to want to break up Russia. The Americans are the main protagonists and mastermind in the Ukraine War. Only the Americans can stop it. Why would the European leaders marched to Beijing to ask Xi to help to end this war?

The notorious agenda is to make Xi to pressure Putin, to drive a wedge in the China Russia relationship. If Xi were to take the bait, he would have to breathe down Putin's neck, and Putin would be furious. And the Americans and European leaders would be giggling on the side line and putting more pressure on Xi to pressure Putin. What a clever scheme. And if Xi failed, it would become China's problem, that China was unable to stop the war. China would become responsible for a war that it has nothing to do with in the first place.

China would become the scapegoat of the Americans, to be attacked and demonised by the Americans and the West for failing to stop the war. How cunning the Americans and the West can be? Do they think Xi was born yesterday and cannot see through their ploy? This scapegoat trap has been used very frequently and not only China is being lured into the trap, other countries too have become scapegoats of the American and European aggression in other parts of the world.

The devils and warmongers are starting wars everywhere and demanding China to end them when it was not possible for China to do so, and not the responsibility of China. And the devils and warmongers would brand China as an irresponsible big power....when the Americans warmongers are the irresponsible ones. All the troubles and wars they hatched would be China's problem and for China to deescalate or to stop them. The stooges would tell China to lower the tension, to deescalate. What a joke! 

Remember the South China Sea tension, the Taiwan Straits tension, the Korean Peninsula tension? It is all China's fault and China's responsibility perpetuated by the American propaganda machinery. China is to be responsible. This is American Scapegoat Trap. The American's mischievous narrative is to put the blame on China for all the problems they created. They have been at wars non stop since WW2. China only got into two border skirmishes to dispel nasty and aggressive neighbours. The Americans are selling the line that China is an expansionist power, an aggressive power. And the unthinking and bananas love this line.

George Yeo ... takes 'careful' tone with China but is the opposite with US

In a speech given on Dec. 15 at the National University of Singapore's East Asian Institute (EAI), former Foreign Minister George Yeo expounded on his views regarding how China and the U.S. could coexist in a multipolar world, which is beneficial for both of them, and in spite of differing value systems.

He also had some suggestions for the two major powers on ways to transition peacefully to multipolarity.

Here are the key points:

China should act in a way that, over time, persuades the U.S. that "the kind of multipolarity that China envisages is also good for the U.S.". Chinese officials should also avoid "excessive self-righteousness and be less thin-lipped in responding to criticisms". (Chinese officials to avoid being excessive self righteousness? Where did George got this idea from? Who is being excessive self righteousness and lecturing to the world about human rights, democracy, honesty etc etc? Comment in brackets is mine.)

In the case of the South China Sea, China should meet Asean 60-40 on the code of conduct instead of halfway, since it is so much bigger and stronger. For its border dispute with India, China should go more than halfway – maybe 55-45. (George should tell this to the Americans and see if the Americans would believe him.)

As for the U.S., where the original liberal idea of accepting diversity has become intolerable in recent years, they should accept the fact that different value systems co-exist in the world. (In recent years only? Heard of the Chinese Exclusion Acts. Heard of black slavery?)

A multipolar world is not necessarily bad for the U.S., and it will help extend the period of U.S. ascendancy in the world. (This comment is meaningless to the Americans. They want to rule the world. They did not want to know. Period)

1. How he reconciles differing views on China

Audience member: My question is why are there so many smart statesmen and politicians in Europe who don't share your view at all about China?

Yeo: On the question about anti-China sentiments in Europe, I do not want to go into the justifications for that, or lack of it.

I see it more in civilisational terms that the West is not used to seeing a China that can see eye to eye, and which they even have to fear. And this, emotionally, is hard to accept....


2. Why is his approach to China and the U.S. different?

Audience member: I noticed a pattern in your reflections particularly on the domestic affairs of the U.S. and China. With China, you take a more careful, rather courteous tone. And it's quite the opposite with America, rightfully so. And I can only guess that you are responding to cultural cues right? And as you said earlier, the Chinese are much more sensitive to external criticism. I wonder if you can comment on whether that's in fact accurate and if you could unpackage it for us.

Yeo: I think in Singapore, we develop a multi-channel capability, which is that when you're dealing with Malaysians, with Javanese, with Australians, with Indians, we make subtle adjustments to the way we behave, to the way we express ourselves even in body language because we respect the other party....


3. On his exchange with former Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi in 2010

Audience member: Good evening, my name is Ravi Velloor and I work for The Straits Times. In your speech, you referenced that meeting, obviously with Yang Jiechi, where he, according to the Western narrative, as you put it, is supposed to have told you that “there are some countries that are big, some countries are small.” And that's just the reality. You said your recollection of that meeting is a little different, what is your recollection of that encounter?

Yeo: As for what happened at the 2010 Hanoi ARF, where Yang Jiechi had a sharp exchange with Hillary Clinton. According to U.S. accounts, he glared at Singapore, and he said that some countries are big, some are small. If he was directed at (inaudible), it happens that Yang Jiechi is a fan (of Singapore). And he had been to Singapore before he became foreign minister, before anyone knew that he was becoming foreign minister.


He had told me that the people of China and Singapore share a common mutual affection for each other. And I saw him a day before the ARF meeting, and he rehearsed the same point to me. So if you look at me, he was happy to say excuse me, you know I said this to you yesterday. I did not feel that at all. But no, they say the wish is mother (father) of the thought.

And maybe the U.S. thought that Singapore being bullied by China openly fitted the narrative, but frankly I don’t think it is in China's interest, even if it wanted to bully Singapore, to do it that way....

Above is an edited version of a CNA article on George Yeo's take on US China relations. My reading of the above is very different from the author and also on George Yeo's mindset about China and the US. I must add here that the author's view is very subjective, so is George Yeo's and so is mine. We all look at things differently. 

For a start, the title of the article is a reflection of the author's view of George Yeo and his inherent biased in favour of the US. My understanding of George Yeo is that he is careful about expressing his view on China, we agreed, but there is this underlying deference to the US. George has more or less accepted that the US is the dominant power and China must give way to the Americans without questioning the domineering and bully position the Americans are taking. The Americans' position as the Empire of the world, the dominant power, must be accepted as the premise in the changing relationship between China and the US. China must understand, China must be polite, China must compromise, China must accept that it is the weaker power and must give way to the Americans. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the Americans' arrogant, bullying and provocative behaviour against China. Despite the Americans being on the offensive in everything involving China, fabricating lies and vicious attacks against China everyday, and China always on the defensive, there is nothing wrong with these roguish and gangster behaviour. The Americans are above rebuked. It is normal, or the American's right to bully and attack China!

George was also polite in answering the first question that was loaded with the comment that European leaders and politicians were smart.  This is smack of pure arrogance and ignorance on the part of the questioner. George tried to explain it away diplomatically be saying that it was cultural. To me the audience that posed the question was European centric and could not see the truth or the arrogance of the Europeans. Smart is the furthest from the truth. It is pure racism. The Europeans, the white men, after invading China, then an ancient Empire, much more civilised than the white savages that just emerged from the advantage of the Industrial Revolution, destroyed China completely in every field and framed a narrative that China and Chinese were backward, uncivilised and inferior people, a people that should be condemned as the inscrutable, poor and untalented people of the world. The Chinese were subhumans. How can such bad people become a super power?

And the Europeans have been living and believing in this lie till today. Chinaman are untrustworthy, cheats, no talents and despicable. Today, China and the Chinese Civlisation have returned to reclaim their past glories and have proven to be as good as the Europeans and better than the Europeans in many fields of science and technology. No, the Europeans still cannot accept these facts, the Chinaman is still dishonourable, not trustworthy, not worthy creatures, cannot be trusted in anything. China stole everything from them. And China is out to conquer the rest of the world, if not today, they will do it tomorrow. 

 

This is the kind of shit the Europeans and the Americans are propagating to condemn China and Chinese, to divert attention from their wildness, vile and aggressive nature, and their records of crimes against humanity. How can China be so rich and powerful, how to trust China as peace loving and progressive people? China is the devil, if not today, would be the devil tomorrow. China is the threat to the world. The white men, the savages of Europe would save the world from China.

The only peace loving, progressive and honest people are the savages of Europe, the very people that invaded and conquered practically every country in the world and suppressed them as inferior human beans, massacred them when they resisted, took over their countries, plundered and looted them and stole their resources and labour with no respect to their human rights. China did not do any of these things, never conquer or colonise the rest of the world, never invade any of these countries, never invade Europe, but China was a victim of the white savages from Europe that had grown rich with their oppression and robbing of China and the rest of the world. And today, putting on suits and ties the white savages got the cheek to go around preaching and lecturing the world about human rights, about protecting human rights, and strutting around as angels and do gooders. 

This is the hypocrisy of the Europeans, biased, deluded conceitedness and a deceptive narrative.

I would like George Yeo to be more objective, frank and less deferential to the West and call a spade a spade. There is no necessity to be so deferential to the murderers and robbers of the world. The wars and killings all over the world were committed by the Europeans/Americans, the white savages, yesterday and today, and is still going on. 

Where did China participate in the wars and massacres of the innocents? See what the Americans are doing to the Arabs/Muslims, Latin Americans, Russians and to China? A word to all the Americans and Europeans, look into the mirror and cut off your hypocrisy.  Where is your feeling of guilt, where is your conscience? You are only liars and cheats. The world has had enough of your wars, massacres, oppression, bullying and lies. You are the threat to peace in the world. You are the worse violators of human rights. You are the worse warmongers and terrorists...NOT China! Ask the Cubans, the North Koreans, the Venezuelans, the Iranians, the Afghans, the Iraqis, Syrians.....

You can't even see how you are killing each other in Europe, in Ukraine. Peaceful, peace loving, law abiding my foot. The white men must be told the brutal truth. George Yeo is just too polite, too deferential and not wanting to face the crimes against humanity committed by the white men and still committing today. The lying Americans and Europeans have no principles.

 

What is happening in Ukraine is the best thing for the rest of the world. After sowing divisions and inciting wars all over the world, finally the white savages have run out of wars in the rest of the world and have to fight among themselves, in Europe. Hope this war would last for another 30 years or more while the rest of the world go about their lives in peace. What the rest of the world can do is to do the same like the white savages, help them with more aids to perpetuate the Ukraine War to eternity, in Europe. When the white savages are killing themselves, the rest of the world is safe. 

 

This is the formula the Americans have been using to keep American homeland safe, starts wars everywhere, create instability around the world and instigate countries to keep on bickering and fighting among themselves.
