Presidential Election - A two horse race

 A dark horse in Kin Lian hoping to turn the apple cart against a PAP candidate in Tharman, and Tharman trying to whitewash himself as an independent. A 4 horse race turning into a 3 horse race and eventually becoming a 2 horse race would be the biggest strategic mistake in not qualifying George Goh. It would be like the GE in Hougang/Aljunied, telling the people that they would suffer another 5 years if they voted WP. Now Kin Lian really stands a chance to beat the odds. Without Kin Lian, it would be very convenient to disqualify George Goh to pave the way for Tharman. But with Kin Lian throwing in his hat, it was unwise not to let all horses run to favour Tharman.

Many did not see it positively for Kin Lian to join the race when there were already 3 candidates offering themselves. Kin Lian was seen as a spoiler. Many would not be convinced by his reason that he was in just in case George Goh was disqualified and he could become the standby candidate.  Kin Lian's offer to step down should both he and George were to qualify were not taken seriously.

What is happening now has vindicated Kin Lian's position and those wanting a non PAP backed president would have Kin Lian to thank for. Can you imagine if there is no Kin Lian in the ring, it would be Kok Song versus Tharman now. The fight is now more interesting and the people has a real choice of a non PAP backed candidate as the next president.

The lack of rallies may turn out to favour Kin Lian if he can harness the support of the opposition parties to walk the grounds to persuade the voters to vote for him. This is something that would not be available to Kok Song. When all the opposition parties turn out carrying Kin Lian's photos and cheering for him, it would become a movement to challenge the PAP's dominance and a challenge to Tharman as the next PAP backed president. The voters can also see how the opposition parties would act in a time like this, whether they are real or fake, for the people or for the PAP.

If all the opposition parties, including their leaders like Tan Cheng Bock and Pritam Singh would to say they are behind Kin Lian and rally their parties behind him, it would make a real difference.  Would Hsien Yang also chip in to support Kin Lian? Or would personal selfish interest in the opposition camp still be the stumbling block in the way to prevent a united front to challenge PAP's single party dominance and rule?  A united opposition for Kin Lian will force the issue on the PAP to go all out to support Tharman, like the kind of support for George Yeo in Hougang/Aljunied. The result can be exhilarating.

All three candidates are over qualified many times for the job. You don't need a rocket scientist to boil a kettle of water. Their qualifications and experience are overkilled for the job. The crucial and deciding factor is what the voters want, who they want to be their EP.

Can you imagine if all the unpopular big wigs in PAP were to speak up for Tharman? Would it be a plus or a negative point?

Let me make a guess on the numbers. 30% hard core anti PAP  would vote against Tharman. 20% of every ethnic group would vote base on race. This is not racism but human nature affinity. There will be 10% of voters that for one reason or another, dislike a candidate. There will be 30% hardcore PAP supporters for Tharman, and a remaining 10% swing voters. If Kok Song cannot make his presence felt, and become irrelevant in the race, Tharman may have a real problem.

UN and US are two hands of a war criminal

 The UN is again condemning Russia of carrying out a 'pattern' of missile attacks in Ukraine. What does the official mean? Does Russia carrying out attacks in Ukraine, using missiles, have to follow strictly what the USA, the West or the UN dictating which target can and cannot be hit? Why did not the UN accuse the USA and Nato of carrying out a 'pattern' of carpet bombings that killed more civilians in past conflicts before landing troops on the ground?

Carpet bombing raids by Nato went on for 77 days in Yugoslavia, day and night. How many civilians were killed and what were the UN officials doing? Carpet bombings (war criminal John McCain was among the pilots who did that and yet decorated) went on continuously in Vietnam, killing millions, but just touted as collateral damage material. Why did the UN not condemn the USA doing that? These are not war crimes, targeting civilians? Only when it is done by others is it deemed a war crime?

China is not going to forget about the war atrocities committed by the Japanese and the humiliation carried out by the Eight Nations trying to break up China to be shared among them. Yet the Japanese are looking for a fight with China over Taiwan to add to their blood debt owed to China.

China is now more overtly doing what it used to do covertly in challenging the USA. China is no longer heeding the dictates of the USA nor putting much trust in what the USA says over issues, knowing those assurances can be overturned once it leaves the negotiating table. Enough is enough. And most of all, China is retaliating, tit for tat. Trade war, Chips war, Ideology war, Social media war, China can accommodate.

George Soros is the devil

 George Soros hates China for his failure in his attempt in October, 1997 to attack the Hong Kong financial system, shortly after Hong Kong's return to China in July, 1997. The Hong Kong Monetary Authority had to squeeze the interest rate to a record to drive out currency speculators lead by hedge fund manager George Soros, from the financial system. I believe Soros and his followrs lost a pile over that. He still harbours deep resentment against China over his misadventure.

George Soros himself does not have the means himself to deal with Hong Kong, especially with China taking over and supporting Hong Kong from behind. The reality is that it is the followers of his agenda that does most of the damage in bringing down the currencies of any of the countries he sets his evil designs on. Against Hong Kong, his followers probably found out they have a formidable opponent in China supporting Hong Kong. And they were the first to blink in the buildup to bring down the Hong Kong currency.

Thailand was actually the first country under attack by George Soros in July, 1997 and that was to be the start of the Asian Financial Crisis of 1997, masterminded by Soros and his followers. Thailand fell to his attack and he subsequently moved to attack the Malaysian financial system, riling the then Malaysian PM, Mahathir Mohammed, who holds a deep hatred for Soros.

Did Soros also have a hand in the funding of the Wuhan Lab research in his attempt to settle the old score for his loss in Hong Kong? His involvement in setting up those Biolabs in Ukraine subsequently is not incidental and follows an agenda. Remember that this man is behind the funding of every evil around the world.

A regime change in China into a democracy, an impossible oucome, will be George Soros' dream to have the Chinese financial system open to his attack and manipulation. George Soros also tried to attack the Indian Financial System just recently but failed.

I suspect George Soros is behind whoever is now doing the dirty work in Vietnam to unsettle the country and helping the USA to sway Vietnam's affiliation with China. Biden is going there soon to do the coercive part of 'you are either with us or against us'. Which means economic blackmail.

Robert Kennedy Jr - US biolabs and 'life sciences' research are bioweapon labs

Kennedy comments on US biolabs in Ukraine
The Pentagon used other countries for bioweapons research, RFK Jr. told Tucker Carlson

The US military outsourced some of its biological weapons research to the government installed by the 2014 coup in Kiev, Democrat presidential hopeful Robert F. Kennedy Junior has claimed in an interview.

“We have biolabs in Ukraine because we’re developing bioweapons,” RFK Jr. told independent journalist Tucker Carlson .... he explained, the Patriot Act adopted after the 9/11 terrorist attacks in 2001 allowed the Pentagon to resume research.

According to Kennedy, the bioweapons program has operated under the guise of “life sciences” research, such as gain-of-function experiments on viruses and other pathogens, ultimately overseen by Dr. Anthony Fauci, who headed the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases between 1984 and 2022.

Modern bioweapons are “frightening stuff,” made with genetic engineering tools such as CRISPR, Kennedy said. When some of these “bugs” escaped from laboratories in the US, back in 2014, the Obama administration banned gain-of-function research, Kennedy added, so Fauci outsourced it overseas. “A lot of them went to Ukraine,” Kennedy told Carlson, while some of the research was moved to the Wuhan,...

Ukraine has the most American bioweapon labs in Europe. The person responsible for these labs is George Soros and Hunter Biden. Their photographs were hung in the bunker HQ in Mariupol. With the capture and destruction of Mariupol, the bulk of these bioweapon labs in Europe has been incapacitated. George Soros is now looking East to create more bioweapon labs to target China and Asians. 

Any Asian and South East Asian country still harbouring such dangerous bioweapon labs in the guise of life sciences research must close them immediately. They are not just evil and devious, to be used against enemies of the Americans, any leak or escape of the virus or pathogens would be deadly for the hosting countries. And if located in densely populated cities or city states, the death and destruction is unimaginable.

For goodness sake, any American ally or crony state being duped or coerced into hosting such bioweapon labs must act fast and be responsible to their own citizens. Get rid of the labs at once. The viruses can be spread by accident or by intent to create havoc in a host country. Below is copied from RT explaining what Soros is going to do after losing his HQ in Mariupol. He is looking for an alternative site and there are several American allies and crony states in Asia and South East Asia that would fit into his evil plan.

'George Soros’ Open Society Foundations NGO will shut down much of its EU-based operations and fund liberal causes elsewhere, Reuters reported on Tuesday, citing an internal email. While it remains unclear where Soros will direct his efforts, the aging billionaire has agitated for regime change in China in recent years.

“Ultimately, the new approved strategic direction provides for withdrawal and termination of large parts of our current work within the European Union, shifting our focus and allocation of resources to other parts of the world,” the email to employees reportedly stated.'  RT

The West - The Anglo-Saxons UK & USA and Japan owe China tons of blood-debt which have yet to be settled.

In the last two centuries from 1830s to 1940s China was trampled and torn apart by practically all the European countries, America and Japan. During this period white men especially the Anglo-Saxon British and Americans slaughtered and genocided not less than over 150 million Chinese while Japan butchered and killed over 50 million of our Chinese brethrens and sisters. We Chinese people must settlle this blood debt with the the West and Japan when an opportune day comes.The West led by the Anglo-Saxon England and America and Japan have never shown any remorse for their wanton atrocities and genocide of the Chinese people. Instead of apologizing to the Chinese people and show some reflection and introspection of their unforgiveable diabolical evil deeds against China and the Chinese people they have never stopped trying to bring down China again. The Anglo-Saxon Americans are now leading the Western pack of savage countries and Japan to create trouble and turmoil for China and have never stopped their toxic propaganda to demonize China with endless falsehoods of disinformation, misinformation and complete lies about China with the intention to create a false logical base or reason for their future joint operation to attack China again.China and the Chinese people must ensure that they will never be humiliated and traumatised again by Western and Japanese aggressions led by the Anglo-Saxon Americans. Instead the Chinese people must turn the table against the Western imperialists led by the Anglo-Saxon Americans and destroy them and obliterate them from the earth.All Chinese people must know the sad and trumatic history of China and the Chinese people in the last two hundred years of the 19th and 20th century so as to be able to prepare and retaliate for any future foreign aggressions led by the Americans and to be able to annihiliate them completely.
