European leaders are all clowns, with Zelensky the undisputed top clown

 It is ironic. Even if these two, Tsai and Zelenskyy are clowns, the leaders of the EU are equally sacrificing their own people to follow the dictates of the USA.

If the EU leaders thinks that the energy crisis might be over with their 'patch and pray' solutions, they have been hugely mislaid by the USA. Help from USA is not to be expected, but taking advantage will be the norm.

With Europe, especially Germany and France already clutching at straws over energy, trying to lure industries over to the USA by using subsidies, it is clear that the USA is trying to benefit from the miseries of others, even close allies. And the EU leaders were ever so willing to oblige.

With half past six leaders like Annalena Baerbock, caring more for Ukraine than her own citizens, one wonders how it ended this way with them in charge. How the German people would look back at Angela Merkel and compare those days when Germany was still friendly with Russia. They could still be, if not for following the USA, and ending up in the gutters. Now there is no going back.

The world is blessed with so many European clowns killing their own people and destroying their economies and livelihood. Just keep the war in Europe.

Evil lying Americans fabricating lies again

 WASHINGTON: The United States said on Tuesday (Aug 22) it was imposing visa sanctions on Chinese officials pursuing "forced assimilation" of children in Tibet, where UN experts say one million children have been separated from their families.

In the latest of a series of US moves on Beijing despite a resumption of high-level dialogue, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the United States would restrict visas to Chinese officials behind the policy of state boarding schools.

"These coercive policies seek to eliminate Tibet's distinct linguistic, cultural and religious traditions among younger generations of Tibetans," Blinken said in a statement. CNA

The evil Americans are scheming everyday, involving huge resources and manpower, to fabricate lies to attack China. The latest cheap lie is about eliminating Tibet's distinct linguistic, cultural and religious tradition. Really? The Tibetan's life has never been better before. Universal education and the preservation of the Tibetan culture and way of life have been the core in the govt's policies to uplift the life of Tibetans.

And the fabricated lies were exactly what the Americans did to the native Americans and also the Afro Ammericans. What had happened to the distinct linguistic, cultural and religious traditions of the native Americans, the Red Indians and also the Afro Americans? Hundreds of millions of native Americans were genocided by the European Americans. It is not just their linguistic, cultural and religious traditions that were destroyed, their populations were massacred to near extinction. Only less than 2m of the original hundreds of millions of native Americans are alive today. And many are living in poverty and discriminated against. Their distinct linguistic, cultural and religious traditions completely wiped out from the face of the American continent.

Go and visit Tibet and see the prosperous and well educated Tibetans and their way of life. Their population has grown and more than doubled, tripled, while the genocided native Americans are almost extinct.

Look into the mirror, you ugly lying Americans. Your crimes against the native Americans would not be forgotten. The more lies you fabricate against others, the more your crimes against humanity would be exposed.  The Tibetans are thriving, growing and getting more wealthy and living a life of abundance, like the Muslims in Xinjiang.

Heard about reservations? The concentration camps that the native Americans were marched to their death on the way there if they happened to survive? Forced labour camps or death camps?

See the shackles on the legs of black slaves!

 

US House panel on native American genocides and slavery turns focus to the plight of red Indians and black slaves ...male detainees held chained and shackled in cells so tiny they had to crawl out when the white men summoned them. “They were called by numbers for interrogations. And then you would hear horrible screaming sounds from torture,” she said.... 

Innocent female detainees or slaves were held by the thousands, heads shaved, some scalped, in gray uniforms. Guards tortured the women with electric shocks and by gang rape, sometimes combining both....human rights groups accuse America of sweeping a million or more people from its native Americans and black slave community and other predominantly ethnic minority groups into detention camps, where many have said they were tortured, sexually assaulted, and forced to abandon their language and religion....

“They are the first-hand witnesses to the systemic, unimaginable brutality, witnesses to the attempted elimination of a people, a culture, a civilisation,” Gallagher said Thursday.

Between 80 to 100 million native Americans were genocided, and several millions of black slaves were interned.  More exact estimates are not possible, given America’s concealment, Zenz said....

 Expert witnesses praised US actions, including passage of a bill on forced labour and the levying of penalties on slave owners shown to be using the forced labour on black slaves....

 Nury Turkel, chairman of the US Commission on International Religious Freedom, said crimes against humanity could not be treated merely as an area of disagreement or an irritant when colonising a country. “Genocide is defined as an international crime for a reason,” Turkel said. “Confronting is not an option", it's a necessity, she said.

 “This hearing is important because what happens to the native Indian and black slave communities in the USA impacts Americans at home," said the committee's ranking Democrat, Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi of Illinois. “It’s in the goods produced with black slave labour in the cotton fields, it’s the degradation of human rights that makes the world less safe, and it’s the ceaseless persecution of black slaves living in America till today.”...

 “Please rescue the children of native Americans from being killed and buried under churches, like Canada has done,” she said in her prepared remarks. “Please stop American companies from continuing to be complicit in surveilling our people and profiting from their slave labour.”

PS. A lie deserves a lie. 

'The US national security state has exploited deep ideological biases in the media and is bankrolling countless think tanks, non-governmental organizations, and academic programs to churn out constant anti-China propaganda....

There is a definitive and ongoing battle for hearts and minds between China and the US, and so-called ‘China experts’ are the Americans’ foot soldiers whether they realize it or not. And there are only bound to be more systemic incentives for China hawks in the future considering members of the US Congress keep introducing legislation, like the Senate ‘Countering Chinese Propaganda Act’ or the House ‘Countering the PRC Malign Influence Fund Authorization Act’, which would see hundreds of millions spent on negative news coverage against China. Both of these bills have been absorbed into the House and Senate’s versions of the America COMPETES Act, which have passed in both chambers but are awaiting minor changes before becoming law.

On the other hand, it should be noted that China does not spend anywhere near this amount of money on superfluous propaganda and is instead focused on win-win cooperation on trade and infrastructure. It turns out that poorer countries that have been gutted by centuries of European and American exploitation directly benefit from investments in tangible assets, which China is more keen on providing these days as opposed to the West.

BRICS - The Snake Unveils Its Forked Tongue At Last Crucial Moment

A deal to expand the BRICS group of leading developing countries appeared stuck in eleventh hour negotiations at a leaders summit on Wednesday, after all BRICS members had publicly expressed support for growing the bloc.

More than 40 countries have expressed interest in joining BRICS, say South African officials, and 22 have formally asked to be admitted.

"We have a document that we've adopted which sets out guidelines and principles, processes for considering countries that wish to become members of BRICS...That's very positive," summit host South Africa's foreign minister Naledi Pandor says.

So an agreement had been meant to be adopted following a plenary session earlier on Wednesday. But a BRICS member country official with direct knowledge of the discussions said it had been delayed after Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi introduced new admission criteria.

"Yesterday ... India pushed for consensus on criteria as well as the issue of (candidate) names. There was a broad understanding," the source said.

Chinese President Xi Jinping has called for the speedy expansion of BRICS as well as efforts to promote more just and reasonable global governance.

PS. India is against expansion. Saying yes but setting unacceptable conditions is as good as saying no. Biden has given India instruction to block whatever BRICS intend to do.

Japan would not want to drink the contaminated water

 Just the same question that needs repeating. If it is safe, why not just release those contaminated treated waters into its reservoirs? Why arouse so much unease and antagonise so many neighbours by making this irresponsible and controverial decision?

One Japanese minister even said those treated waters are even safe for drinking, so what is the problem with releasing those waters into its own reservoirs. Unless he is lying through his arse hole.

How much difference does it make to dilute the treated contaminated water with sea water in tanks first, and then releasing the diluted water into the ocean? Isn't it just the same as releasing the undiluted contaminated water into the sea and let it be diluted by itself? This is all a smoke and mirrors act to muddy the waters.

Japan knows this is going to cost them dearly, especially with China and Hong Kong being its biggest seafood market. 62% of South Koreans are also against the Jap's decision and will probably be intending to avoid Japanese seafood. As the release is expected to be stretched over many years, the continued need for testing is going to exact a permanent damage to the Japanese seafood export market. It will be gone for good, if any untoward spike in contamination testing should ensue at some point.

As a matter of fact, the release coming just after the tri-lateral meeting on August 18, between the USA, Japan and South Korea at Camp David, does give rise to make me suspiciously sure that this was given the go ahead by Biden, with Yoon taking care of his supporting stance, and stifle opposition in South Korea. This release had been talked about since 2019, but facing objections from neighbouring countries and held back.

As people living around and closer to the region, we are directly having to contend with any consequences, and it matters that we have different perceptions from those experts living far and away from the Pacific Ocean, who are touting the narrative that the effect is minimal. After all, most probably have vested interest to refrain from voicing the damaging stuff. As I always say, money talks and bullshit walks.

For me, Japanese seafood and particularly sushi are not my cup of tea. But I have to remind my children and grandchildren to avoid them as much as possible.

Massacre in the Pacific Ocean

SINGAPORE: Twelve years after a tsunami hit the eastern coast of Japan and caused a nuclear disaster, the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant is once again at the centre of international concern.

On Tuesday (Aug 22), Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said Japan will start on Thursday the planned discharge of more than 1.2 million tonnes of wastewater - enough to fill more than 500 Olympic-sized swimming pools - from the crippled plant into the Pacific Ocean.

Contrary to the international support Japan received in the immediate aftermath of the March 2011 disaster, the plan has been met with criticism, despite approval by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

China has strongly condemned the plan. In July, China and Hong Kong, Japan’s two largest seafood export markets, announced that it will extend its ban on all aquatic products from 10 prefectures in Japan.

While South Korea was initially vociferous, the government formally endorsed Japan’s plan in July after its own assessment. Still, South Koreans have taken to the streets in protest and started hoarding sea salt.

The biggest question on everyone’s minds is: Is it safe? Rational minds may look to the IAEA safety review for reassurance - but science alone is not enough.... CNA

 

The selfish and irresponsible Japanese in cahoot with the equally evil Americans, are going to dump millions of tonnes of nuclear contaminated waste water into the Pacific Ocean, regardless of the harm it would cause to marine life and human life. This is like a massacre of the marine life with the consent and approval of the Americans and American controlled IAEA. The radioactive waste, in small amount may not harm human life immediately, but would have immediate consequences to lower life forms especially micro organisms in the ocean. The micro organisms and small marine life are part of the food chain and destroying them, contaminating them, would eventually contaminate all the marine life and the whole food chain, ultimately harming human life all over the world. They would end up in our stomach. It is an assault on the whole ecology system of the oceans, a massacre of marine life forms.

How dangerous and destructive are the nuclear waste can be seen in the followup paragraphs of the same article in CNA reproduced below. The main points to prove their lethality is the dumping over a period of 3 decades. If they are not harmful, why not dumping them at once? Spreading them over 30 years would not be much different as the decay life of nuclear waste goes to thousands of years or more. And they can't be evaporated in the air as it would be even more harmful. The nuclear waste are HARMFUL to life forms and humans! Period.

And the real reason for the dumping is not that it is less harmful, but Japan is running out of storage space to keep them. So they ignore the toxic nature of the waste and the harm to life forms, just to get rid of them from Japanese soil. The evil Americans and Japanese would not be spared from this harm. Every life form and human bean would be harmed, especially the Pacific Islands. Taiwan would not protest as they think they are Japanese and what is good for the Japanese is good for them. Some states that are friendly to the Japanese may also import Japanese food for their own people to consume.

People of the world must not be misled by the lying Japanese and Americans. The dumping must be stopped at all cost. What is wasting a few space in Japan to store the toxic waste than dumping them into the ocean at the risk of destroying marine life and human life?

The whole world must boycott this ruthless and irresponsible act by banning the import of all Japanese food. This is the only way to save the world. Protect the Pacific nations, save the world.

BAN ALL JAPANESE FOOD with immediate effect!

Below is part of the same article in CNA.

'One exception is the tritium isotope, but there is no known technology to separate low concentration of tritium from water as both have similar properties. If there were, Japan would not be dumping it into the sea....

In addition, the wastewater will be released over the next 30 years to avoid any sudden spike in radiation levels. It will also be discharged 1km off the power plant site via an underwater tunnel and radioactive levels will be further diluted in the ocean...

Japan also considered an alternative release method, which is evaporating it into the atmosphere, but that option was deemed to be more pollutive as radioactive substances could settle on territorial lands. Japan will not want to store the wastewater indefinitely.

HUMAN FEARS AND ANXIETIES ABOUT ALL THINGS NUCLEAR

Despite the scientific endorsement, very little is known in the public regarding the effects of radiation. Fears and anxieties persist - it is only human.

The concerns are largely on the environmental impact and degradation of marine ecology, as well as the risks to human health....' CNA
