Is cocaine in the White House American Exceptionalism?

 

 Do not forget that USA 'exceptionalism' extends to everything, even lying, cheating and stealing. What is a little cocaine in the White House after all? It is just cocaine and if USA can invoke 'exceptionalism' at its whims and fancies, why not Joe Biden?

A little cocaine in the White House is insignificant, affecting only Joe Biden and maybe his beloved son. Compare that to the walking dead on Kensington Ave, Pennsylvania, with a whole street full of people high on drugs. And that is not the only location. It is a nation-wide drug addiction problem. It probably is good that drug addiction extends from the ground right up to the top of the pyramid, so no one can complain, right? So, why try to blame China?

Give old Joe a break, will ya! Poor old Joe is suffering elderly abuse at the hands of the Democrats and has a pile of problem regarding his son, his own health and how to deal with gangster and ruffian Donald Trump. What Joe really needs is a nice place in an old folk's home, undisturbed, not having to be pushed around by handlers telling him when to sit, when to stand, when to turn around, when to walk and when to fall, oops.

American colony South Korea begging to be screwed

 What Yoon Suk Yeol is doing to South Korea is no different from what Olaf Scholz is doing to Germany. Both are totally beholden to the USA and bending over backwards to please the USA. The way Yoon was groveling at the feet of Joe Biden during his recent visit to Washington was disgusting to say the least.

Germany is already tasting it's just deserts for following the USA's agenda in Europe. Yoon is doing the same to South Korea in East Asia. He wants to escalate the situation on the Korean Peninsula by supplying weapons to Ukraine, thinking this will gain favor with Joe Biden and the USA war mongers. Now he is caught in a bind. Putin is supplying arms to Kim Jong Un and that is bad news for South Korea. He is still threatening Putin when he was already warned earlier.

South Korea supplying weapons to Ukraine will not change the war in Ukraine one bit. It is the same as other NATO countries pouring 'game changing' weapons and achieving nothing positive. The USA and NATO had been doing it for more than two long years and South Korea is hoping to change the situation with a few dozen pieces of howitzers? What has South Korea achieved for its involvement with the USA in Vietnam? Still on the losing side, despite supplying more than 300,000 rotating troops fighting alongside the GIs.

This time around, if hostilities break out on the Korean Peninsula, it will not just be China on the side of the North Koreans. Russia has a security arrangement now with Kim that if one side is attack, it will involve the Russians too. NATO can do it, so does Russia, China and North Korea. The sword cuts both ways.

Bankrupt European states wanting to conduct trade wars with their biggest market? How silly can they be?

 The Europeans are spooked by China's imposition of tariffs on European cars entering China. That is not all. China is intending to do to the EU what it did with agricultural products from the USA at the start of Trump's trade war. China is no more just taking it lying down. China has shown its ability to retaliate and that frightens the Europeans.

Who stands to lose the most? German car makers will face the biggest hit. Other EU countries will be hit by products like pork. I believe that is just the beginning of China's retaliation. China has found alternative markets in South America and Russia and is mending relations with Australia and New Zealand as well. The recent visit of Chinese Prime Minister Li Qiang to New Zealand and Australia is not for exchanging T-shirts to quote LKY. China is too big a market for them to resist.

If Russian cheap energy crisis is already crippling Europe, can the EU afford another disaster happening with its agricultural sector? This is not a shortage of agricultural products befalling Europe. It is the shortage of demand from the Chinese market that is the problem. European farmers are already at wits end trying to compete with outside producers like Ukraine. The recent farmers protest says it all. It is no use for the EU trying to export its agricultural products to the USA, which is just like 'Carrying coal to Newcastle' to quote an outdated saying. Newcastle itself already had so much coal and sending more coal there is a pointless action.

Elsewhere in South America they are producing just as much agricultural products for export to China, and already competing with the EU. Mess with China and suffer the consequences is something the Europeans better learn.

Tools of the evil American Empire

 I observe with apprehension the dangerous ways Singapore leaders are acting against the interests of ASEAN countries in issues vis-avis between the warmongering and hegemonic West headed by the evil Anglo-Saxon United States and the rest of the world's global south countries which include Iran, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Indonesia, Malaysia, India, China and Russia. Singapore has allowed the USA to use its puny territory as a military base without thinking that it will undoubtedly affect the security of ASEAN countries in which Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand are its closest neighbours. Don't the imbecile Singapore leaders know that the West headed by the Anglo-Saxon USA and England are incorrigible warmongers which have been attacking and invading other countries non-stop for the last over five hundred years. The West headed by the USA and UK have every intention to bring the whole world under its slavery bond and total hegemonic control.

They are using all kinds of tricks and hybric warfare to bring the global south countries under its domination. It uses divide and rule tactics pitching unsuspecting countries to fight against each other by creating petty territorial disputes or sowing dissension and religious antagonism. Then it will reap rich financial rewards by selling weapons to both warring parties.

One of its most toxic method to bring the global south countries under its control is the use of the patro dollar and the tight illicit control of the World Bank, The IMF and the SWIFT agency. This has resulted in its bringing the whole world under the financial slavery of the Anglo-Saxons.

Besides using the military, the Anglo-Saxons Americans also use trade sanctions, tariffs and blockades to bring others down to heel for their slavish domination and control.

Knowing how wicked and bellicose the Anglo-Saxons are, Singapore political leaders should not have blamed Russia for the Ukraine War and should not have subsequently joined the USA and the West to sanction Russia.

All Singapore's actions and open support for the United States and the West are ultra vires to the interests of ASEAN countries. Now Russia and China have made it clear that among the ASEAN countries only Singapore and the Philippines are not allowed to join the BRICS organisation of the South. Does that show clearly the dismal future of Singapore?

It is of the utmost urgency that Singapore needs to correct its wrong ways and decisions and repent so as to get in line with the interests of the countries of the South. Failing which it will be seen as digging its own graves. Singapore must stop misbehave or else face being booted out of ASEAN too.

What is global norms?

 

Commentary: Trash balloons another sign of North Korea's refusal to act within global norms

North Korea sending trash-filled balloons to the South reflects its insouciance and recklessness when interacting with the rest of the world, says Robert Kelly of Pusan National University. CNA

Above is a typical western narrative of what is acceptable behaviour to the West that they called global norms, like freedom, democracy, human rights, freedom of navigations, freedom to incite social unrest by terrorist organisations like the CIA, NED, NGOs etc etc.

North Korea is condemned as violating global norms by sending trash filled balloons to the South. But why did the North Koreans did that? What did the South Koreans do before the North Koreans returned them the compliment? This, the western troublemakers and provocateurs would not say. It is like screaming out loud that Russia invaded Ukraine, but not saying what the Ukrainian Nazis did to the Russian speaking Ukrainians ie genocide. It is like saying the Gaza Genocide was started by the Hamas on 7 Oct and ignoring the military occupation of Palestinian land, massacres, genocides of the Palestinians over decades in Palestinian homeland.

Innocent readers that did not know history, did not bother to know the past, would take these biased and skewed narratives as the truth. The North Koreans are violating global norms, misbehaving, while the South Koreans were the nice guys. Who were the gangsters that were conducting repeated war games on the borders of North Korea, threatening to invade North Korea? The angels of God? The provocations and war games are for peace, for freedom, for democracy which the North Koreans did not have?

Innocent readers are warned of the daily publishing of American and western propaganda by a trillion dollar budget to demonise innocent states, to incite wars, to distort the truths, that terrorists are called angels, and innocent parties are called aggressors and terrorists.

Remember, the number one terrorist state in the world is the USA, at wars with every country, fighting wars everywhere, inciting and provoking to start more wars, and the main architect in the genocidal wars in Ukraine and Gaza. These are the global norms, demonise other states, to spread disinformation, to incite wars, provoke wars, fight wars to destabilise the world.
