JFK/Khrushchev Replay

Many are not clear on how a President Marco Rubio is a danger to himself and the US as posited in my last post.

Let me refresh and remind.

After the death of Joseph Stalin in 1953, Khrushchev manoeuvred a series of adroit power plays to rid the evil and murderous lieutenants that used to surround Stalin. By March 1958, Khrushchev finally consolidated his power base and became the Premier of the Soviet Union.

He was a mercurial character of only 5 ft 3 in tall and needed to resort to attention grabbing antics to assert himself. His most famous act in this regard was when he removed one shoe and banged the rostrum in the UN to make his point.

When Khrushchev visited the US after being the Premier, he was respectful of President Eisenhower and wary of VP Nixon having held a "kitchen" debate with Nixon.

Khrushchev was delighted when JFK won in 1960 instead of Nixon. This was when all the Evolutionary Psychological stuff I mentioned kicked in.

Having bitterly struggled and putting up with all sorts of abuses all his life to be where he was, he saw this Young Buck, JFK, from a privileged background talking like he was already on Top of the World. The "Jin Kart" (Chinese for something meaning close to beastial instincts, but no precise English equivalent) character in Khrushchev was aroused and the thought tickled him if he could throw some monkey wrenches into the works for JFK to get a taste of the real world.

Knowing that his "Sait Hei" (Chinese for inner strength and more) was stronger than JFK, he secretly had the Berlin Wall built and in a surprise move, suddenly enforced the partition of East and West Berlin on 13 August 1961, seven months after the inauguration of JFK.

Then, to push his fun games further, Khrushchev loaded up Cuba with medium ranged nuclear missiles to toy with the resolve of JFK that triggered the Cuban Missile Crisis. Khrushchev managed to stir enough internal dissent within the US over this Crisis that eventually JFK was checked mated into making his own fatal errors.

All I am saying in "Marco Rubio; Mismatched America" is that Putin and Xi Jinpeng are rooting for Rubio (and next up the line Cruz) to win in 2016.

Eeeeeeeeee........

Rubio; Mismatched America

From the glare and the blare of the 2016 US Presidential Debates, Marco Rubio is inevitably thrust forward as the Poster Boy of a Mismatched America.

The Greatest Nation on Earth, America, leading the world in Technology, Entertainment, Finance (inventing complex financial products and analysing its own and others' financial flaws) and numerous other significant Fields of Human Endeavours, exhibits the most dysfunctional kind of politics that belie its Greatness in all its other achievements.

After a fresh first term Senator Obama took the reins of office of the US Presidency and faced a GOP consensus of having brought down the prestige and power of the US on so many fronts, two fresh first term GOP Senators had the audacity to seek that Office.

Both Rubio and Cruz attacked Obama for falling short of his elections pledges, but both are now sowing similarly naive election promises themselves in this 2016 campaign.

Most of their speeches are coached and rehearsed rhetorics aimed at sounding and looking presidential but came across clumsily as gurgling drivels out of the mouths of babes. You just can't do it at mid-forties.

Quintessential example: when reminded of his one time label by Time Magazine as the GOP Saviour, Rubio replied, There's only one Saviour. He is not me. It's Jesus Christ.

Any Sunday School kid can tell you that.

Rubio deliberately ignored the context of the question. To parry embarrassment from the real answer and score evangelical brownie points, he went off on a tangent and replied about the absolute Saviour. Shockingly, the crowd and some swooning media lapped it all up with sanctimonious raptures!

A President Rubio of this calibre will perversely attract beastial older adversaries locally and internationally to crush him.

In our evolutionary psychology as the human specie, men who had reached the top rung of the political ladder have been shaped through some influence from certain elements of beastiality in their genes. They would be over the age of sixty for their accumulation of the vast experience that consolidate their machiavellian hold. Very proud of their achievements and their long hard struggles and schemings.

Bright-eyed, naive, upstarts who leaped frog to the top are anathema to them and a thorn in their flesh causing constant irritation. Their dark beastial instincts are reignited and pumped into top gear, stoking "power play" thrills to toy with the younger upstarts and eventually crush them to a pulp for the sheer joy of just having the skills to do it. Such a threat would most likely be from Russia or China or a new Middle Eastern despot.

Megyn Kelly, locally, is such a victim to Trump.

President John F Kennedy to Nikita Khrushchev who probably relished enormously at the end-game that was "executed" by the Americans themselves. What an ultimate satisfying fulfillment for Khrushchev who was and must have been a mastermind of extremely high level power play to be so adept in maneuvering himself to be the successor to the most diabolical person ever lived, Joseph Stalin.

This is not the time to be PC, The whole world knows this Truth, but do the Americans? A case of American Exceptionalism at play here perhaps to be oblivious to or to feel above these risks?

Obama's situation is quite different and I shall explain in my future posts.

As pointed out in "Yin Obama Victories" to these first term Senators, come back to the Race in 20 years time, boys. It's safer for you fellas.

HAPPY PRIMARY VOTING

  

Megyn Kelly The Winner !

The real winner from this series of Presidential Debates so far is Megyn Kelly.

Trump is the Consummate Chinaman when it comes to the way he treats women. My last couple of posts "Chinaman Trump Thumps Megyn" and "Trump, Saul to the Chinese") have firmly established this. I had served under two Chinese US$ billionaires for 21 years in total, so I should know.

Though so many lame and illogical reasons were offered for Trump skipping the debate, I contend there was only one.

Trump simply wanted to crush Megyn mentally for a perceived slight that had seriously punctured his Chinaman-biased type of ego.

He used the entire Might of his resources and machinery to pulverise a bright professional woman who is good at what she does as a show of force.

Megyn had to put up against a Juggernaut thundering out of its way to unleash psychologically threatening and demeaning insults at her after the first Fox debate.

It must have taken a brutal toll on her in her private thoughts and feelings in digesting the unkind words deliberately intended to inflict vengefully the deepest emotional cuts. She was off the air for quite a while after that debate to recuperate.

The most unkind cut of all hitting below the belt must be Trump's horrid utterance, ".. blood coming out of her wherever".

By giving the ultimatum that Megyn be removed as moderator, Trump knew he was meting out tremendous mental torture on her. Perhaps Fox News may sacrifice her to appease Trump. She may have to fall on her own sword to be considerate to her employer in doing the right thing.. Troubling and stressful thoughts. Any lesser woman would have caved in.

Thankfully, Fox steadfastly stood by Megyn and she exuded sparkling confidence and a charming glow throughout the Fox/Google debate. It clearly showed she has surmounted the bulldozing menace of Trump and has become much stronger in the process.

True to the Kelly Clarkson song, "What Doesn't Kill You Makes You Stronger". Great Job, Megyn!

Bill O'Reilly in his adorable way bragged to his side-kicks, Charles and Bernie, of his "brilliant" coaxing moves in an exclusive interview to persuade Trump back to the debate.

But it appeared to me, Bill was just trying to cajole a petulant kid to go home to his mommy. He appropriately offered milk shake to seal the deal. 

Obviously without knowing the real reason Trump was skipping, his rationale used in the persuasion failed. And that's a memo...

Chinaman Trump Thumps Megyn

In less than 12 hours after my last post titled, "Trump, Saul to the Chinese", classifying Trump as the Consummate Chinaman, Trump made a Blaring Salient Display confirming beyond an iota of doubt he is truly a Chinaman.

Harsh and rough treatment must be handed out to women considered to be "ill-mannered" and they have to be put back squarely in their place !

Megyn thought she had juxtaposed brilliant questions on past women encounters of Trump that went down sourly with Trump, when she last acted as a moderator in a Fox News debate.

Nothing can be more incendiary to a Chinaman than for a woman to use women controversies in a public arena to show him out to be less of a Man ! Utterly Unforgivable !

A stupendously successful Chinaman is a "BIG MANLY TOUGH GUY" as literary translated from Chinese. He munificently looks out for and generously take care of his Women, Kin Folks and Friends. No one humiliates him !

Ann Coulter, though as intelligent as Megyn, has an extra dimension in being womanly (some may disagree). When she talks about Trump, she coyly slips in coos of "Trump is funny". Funny, handsome, manly, generous, etc, etc... are the safe limits of the lexicon permissible...Just note how blasphemously far Megyn has veered off the mark.

In the right mix of moods and on a fine day, Ann could be rewarded with a diamond necklace or at least a diamond dust sprinkled wristband. This would be evident from the glittering accoutrements dangling and wrapping around the women who formed the entourages accompanying a Super Rich Chinese Tycoon as they strut towards posh socialite engagements.

Women, too, need to win their stripes in society but in a different psychologically evolved way.

Megyn put on a brave face when she announced that Trump will not be taking part in the coming debate on 28 January 2016.

A few gallant Fox News men rallied to Megyn's side.

Chinese women around the world would be well heed to pay close attention to how Megyn will play out in this foxy situation. Learn to stand up to your man or perhaps never to ...

Understanding Chinese Thinking is a Hallmark of this Blog.

Trump, Saul to the Chinese

Saul of Tarsus used to be a bounty hunter tracking down Christians to sell them to the Romans for their gladiatorial indulges in sadistic pleasures. He was on his way to such a hunt in Jerusalem when he was struck down by Divine Intervention on the Damascus Road which made a seismic "transformation" in him.

Not only did Saul converted to become a pious Christian famously known as the Apostle Paul, he also wrote the Foundational Epistles that have inspired the Christian Faith for more than two millennia till this day.

Trump's China Bashing is an Allegory to Saul's initial persecutions of the Christians. In a follow through of this Allegory, a President Trump will champion the Great Progress of China and the Chinese.

Just like the ardent anti-Communist President Nixon who opened the doors of the world to China under the most hard core of Communists, Chairman Mao.

The Paradox of God omnipotently at work !!!

Epiphanies from the Almighty have been quickening my heart towards The Scriptures for my inspiration. Dark Horsemen of the Apocalypse appeared in my post "Yin Obama Victories" and "Monkey US President" was graced by the Prophet swallowed by a whale. And here my prophecy of Trump being the Apostle Paul of the Chinese.

When I first heard Trump talked, I was despairingly concerned for the Security and Future of China and the Chinese. I started this blog, Dipachupa, to do my part to counter the propaganda of Trump. 

I watched Trump's performance closely and soon it became apparent to me he is using "poker bluff" in his rhetoric to provoke and prod his antagonists, not necessarily make enemies of them.

In this way he sizes up the other side(s) and manoeuvres room for himself to reposition to a vantage point to win in his dealings. 

At the same time he could also be scattering red herrings to conceal his true position, again, to give him the upper hand to trump (pun intended) in his dealings.

I concluded he is the best American Chinaman and became comfortable with him being the US President, henceforth.

His astute "poker bluffing factored-in" talking style is not understood even by the top Western Media personalities who still dimly take Trump at his words literally and at plain face value.

This was evident in a BBC interview with Ann Coulter who, intelligently, is in with the game of Trump. 

The self-conceited BBC interviewer aggressively pumped Ann with questions on Trump. Ann looked flabbergasted at the naive innuendos in the grillings starved of the understandings of the "poker bluff" nuances. BBC guy thought he had locked in for the kill and moved into a boastful peacock stance.

It was fun to watch great Western Journalism in artful confrontation. Ann heaved and sighed quite pronouncedly in a kind of frenzied orgasmic exasperation. One could sense at the top of her head or the tip of her lips, "STUPID" was about to burst forth.

Ann, however, composed herself and politely oozed, "I thought you British...."(translated: you are much less of the Ricky Gervais, Piers Morgan quality). I love you, Ann, for that response.

I have one conundrum for Trump to ponder over and when he is done, he will be transformed as Saul did.

Western impression of Chinese women is that they are second class to men. Yet, in the slightly more than a decade of prosperity of China, 49 self-made female US$ billionaires were created.

In the US with over a century of prosperity, you have only 15 such billionaires.

Trump will love China once he has understood this conundrum.

President Donald Trump will make America Great and in the process make China Great, too.

As Saul became Paul, Donald Trump will be Lonald Lump through the pronunciation challenged Chinese. 

What a Great World We Live in.

Trump Wins in India Omen

India is home to more than 330 million gods. I guess you can safely say it is quite a spiritual country. When an Omen occurs on the streets of New Delhi (capital of India) on full display for everyone to see, you have to accept it as a Powerful Presage.

Watch video on CCTV (source: zeenews) that came out yesterday (24 January 2016) titled, "Monkey raises puppy dog on New Delhi streets". It is amazing and heart-warming to watch.

You see a monkey having adopted a puppy, She carries the puppy everywhere she goes with her. She feeds him and ferociously protects him from large predators.

From my post "Monkey US President" I have pointed out that Trump was born in 1946 the Chinese Lunar Year of the Dog

2016 is the Chinese Lunar Year of the Monkey.

The Indian Omen clearly portends that the 2016 Monkey will nurture and protect a Puppy President.

Chinese and Indian Omens have spoken. It is President Donald Trump 2016.

HURRAH for DIPACHUP !!! A winning Chinese/Indian collaboration.

Fortune Cookies Portend Trump

From the beginning of time, our Guardians in the Heavens have been busy enduring the perplexities of our Earthlings' sinful ways of living and that we seek too much pleasure.

We should be grateful and honoured by the doting attentions showered upon us as the Earth is no more than a mere speck of dust in the Universe.

When our Guardians' perplexities reach neurosis point, they try to enlist the help of Prophets or Seers to convey their messages of Displeasures or Desires.

The humans chosen for this purpose usually have been odd-balls in society with idiosyncratic tendencies. One was so recalcitrant that the Heavenly Powers arranged for him to be swallowed by a whale.

I guess it must be very uncomfortable inside the gastrointestinal passages in a whale because when the whale, probably equally in discomfort, spat him out, he obediently and quickly headed to the destination he was instructed to preach the message at and did so faithfully.

Chinese Seers tend not to be directed to a particular place as they could rely on dissemination gadgets to spread the messages burdened upon them, economically, effectively and widely during the given times. Books back then were rare and prohibitively expensive. And the literacy rates of the masses were extremely low.

They ingeniously used tiles and cookies that are loaded up with addictive incentives to encourage assiduous absorption of the pith of the messages.

The tiles are "Pai Gow", the concept of which has been introduced in my earlier posts and the cookies, the Fortune Cookies, of course.

In "Monkey US President " post, I tried to explain how Chinese Seers in their intricate Geomancy readings found 2016 to be propitious to a President Donald Trump. To pitch the explanations at a layperson's level of understanding, I employed the technique adopted by Selena Gomez in the movie, "The Big Short".

Selena used a casino Black Jack game to illustrate how sophisticated Derivatives/Swaps operate in Complex Financial Markets. She has followed in the footsteps of "Pai Gow" in using Black Jack as a didactic medium to disseminate the understanding of core principles, in this case, of esoteric financial products in Complex US Markets.

The promulgations  of the Chinese Seers would then be efficaciously disseminated through the Fortune Cookies, according to Chinese Americans.

Americans in having their "Chinese" look forward to the desert ritual of breaking open a Fortune Cookie for their "Tyler Henry" moments of indulging in some fun clairvoyance.

I first heard about Fortune Cookies from one of these sources but I can't really remember which as it was so long ago. It was either from the movie, "Flower Drum Song" or the TV series "Charlie Chan" or "Green Lantern".

I checked with my Mom who is now 93 years old on whether she has heard of Fortune Cookies from her surroundings growing up or from her ancestors or the innumerous relatives back in China. The answer, a flat NO !

Some Chinese restaurateurs in the US through fortuitous encounters with their American patrons' fascination over this desert amusement probably decided to represent it as an ancient Chinese tradition. It was more likely to have been a ritual slovenly copied from a Japanese temple tradition of o-mikuji. 

This is a coy testimony to the protean nature of the Chinese who have chameleon like adaptabilities to let other cultures believe what they are pleased in believing about the Chinese.

Mr Trump, you are justified in your inklings about Chinese shrewdness and our abilities to out-negotiate Americans.

A Gigantic Epiphany about you, Mr Trump, is in the Cards which account for your uncanny knowledge of the Chinese.

Monkey US President

The monkey businesses and monkeying around messes made by George Bush (never mind 41 or 43) are being painstakingly ameliorated by a Yin President Obama for better prospects of a peaceful world.

Or should we blame the MOG Dick Cheney ? No, not MOG the cat that consistently puts the Thomas's family into trouble. Though the analogy here to the Bush's family cannot be missed.

By MOG, I mean the Monkey Organ Grinder who cranked out the tunes for George Bush to dance to. Yes, ooooh!

"Monkey" connotes to the WASP's mind a sense of horridness and incorrigible mischiefs. To the Chinese, this Chinese Lunar New Year (4713, if anyone is counting) of the Monkey symbolises the advent of a tumultuous year of Celestial Inspired Beginnings !!!

What on Earth can be more Celestial in 2016 (using the much younger Gregorian Calendar as compared to the Chinese 4713) than the US Presidential Election !!!

The portents are glaringly present. The Lunar New Year falls on the 8 February 2016. And precisely 9 (a fecund number and Heavenly sacred to the Chinese) months later on 8 November 2016, you have the US Elections.

Both days are the 8th day of the month, forming the double eight, 88, an immensely lucky Chinese sign of unspeakable prosperity !!!

The legendary calculus of the composition of Majestic Events over 5 millenniums as diligently studied by Venerable Chinese Masters of "Feng Shui" augur extremely favourable to a President Donald Trump.

Trump is prodigiously prosperous and borned in 1946 being the anointed Fire Dog in Chinese Horoscope and is poised to Set Alight World Events beginning in this Chinese Year of the Fire Monkey!!!

Nothing can stand in the way of the Kismet ordained in the Celestial Oracles as unveiled by the Exalted Sages of Chinese Geomancy and Astrology. 

No woman can succeed in the polls for President in 2016. This Fire cycle year is unkind to women. It will jealously singe any woman attempting to displace a man. A good time now for Carly and Hillary to graciously bow out (off you go, as barked in the tone of Simon Cowell). 

As Fire is irked by wetness, those "wet behind the ears" like Rubio and Cruz should also bow out. From Obama's victory in 2008, they gleaned a glimmer of hope from a gullible electorate that will put novices into high office. Had Hillary won instead back in 2008 which would not have offered such hopes, they would not have thrown their hats into the Race so early in their political careers (back to the Senate grind, boys).

Obama's was a special case decreed by the Celestial Force. My post "Yin" Obama Victories elucidates.

The rest of the candidates will just be unspectacularly washed out, this being a Fire year for Trump.

It is spoken for, Donald Trump is President-Elect 2016, year of the Fire Monkey, making him the Monkey US President.

Ricky Gervais tells jokes forcibly and factually. These were taken as insults in his first hosting of the Golden Globes. Insults turned into accolades as the Hollywood intellectuals warmed up to his gift of raising the level of wit for Americans. Ricky just hosted the 2016 Golden Globe Awards, his fourth and a testimony to his endearing gift.

Any hopes of such accolades for moir conveying forecasts of Great "Feng Shui" Masters, Ricky, Simon ??? 

"Yin" Obama Victories

Yin Victories are quiet and deeply lasting ones. Revisit David Carradine's Kung Fu series to reminisce and be refreshed by "Grasshopper's" pleasant Yin Victories.

Yin Victories are victories gladly and willingly conceded over to you by your rivals or adversaries. These are acts of Sweet Surrender because you have earned their trust and respect and ,therefore, they are allowing you to win. Consequently, both sides are soulfully nourished and uplifted.

The arguments in my past posts have convincingly established Obama as a Yin President.

The bullying variety of victories that Cruz, Rubio, Fiorina and Christie unashamedly sought are degrading and usually (and thankfully) ephemeral (but irreparable damage could already be done).

They aggressively try to out do each other by flaunting their higher and higher degrees of tantrum-throwing threats, childishness, rudeness and arrogance to hypothetically expropriate brutal victories from possibly trumped-up enemies (no pun intended).

Those coerced to yield grudgingly will, at the first opportunity, strike back venomously to inflict maximum damage, even if mutually destructive.

The GOP candidates mentioned can thus be liken to a sinister hue of the four Dark Horsemen of Apocalypse who had learnt nothing from the Vietnam, Afganistan and Iraqi wars. The "Pai Gow" principles to be revealed in my future posts that had accounted for the humiliating defeats of the US have now taken on a new urgency to be taught to these ignorant Horsemen of doom and self-destruction.

Amongst the many examples, let me share the latest 3 major Yin Victories of Obama in the last 2 months.

Putin's restrain after a Russian jet was shot down by Turkey. Xi's restrain after US bombers and battleships breached Chinese territories and Iran's hostage releases without threats from the US.

Against the normal confrontational odds of more forceful reactions in such incidences, the 3 different leaders had gone out of their way to be softer to ensure a Yin US President Obama's life was not made difficult and provide Obama's enemies in Washington with ammunition to attack him.

World tension is lowered in the process.

Putin was KGB head and is used to responding with power and pride. Yet, Putin reacted humbly in the Turkey incident in deference to a humble sitting US President.

In George Bush's first few months in office, a US spy plane breached Chinese airspace and Chinese jets scrambled to force down the US plane onto Hunan Island. Compare this to the recent US breaches of Chinese territorial integrity. The Chinese trust Obama as a peaceful President and was prepared to tolerate the breaches as those of a new Secretary of Defence Ash Carter's needs to flex some muscles as a sign of initiation to the job.

Hostages of the 1979 US Embassy seige were held by Iran much more aggressively for over 2 years compared to the recent case of the sailors in the patrol boat captured who were released within days.

A Yin President attracts positive peaceful effects that the predominantly Yang American population may not realize.

Contrary to Yang Americans' thinking, Leaders of other countries do act with composed wisdom and profound regard for Human Dignity and Honour.

They don't need to blare and blast disdainful bravados like Cruz and Rubio, displaying antics of immature kids spoiling for an ignominious brawl in the school yard. " When I am President, I will whack this and smash that...", etc. War mongering big talk out of the mouths of babes. 

Come back to the Presidential Race in 20 years' time when you have grown up, fellas.

Trump has been showing signs he will make a good US President in the world's interests if his own GOP party doesn't derail him. These will be subjects in my later posts.

Please spread this message widely and furiously for a chance of PEACE ON EARTH.

    

No Woman US President

I was writing this post confidently and chauvinistically when suddenly, Boom Boom,  Tsai Ing-wen a first woman was elected President of Taiwan. It matters because Taiwanese Presidential elections are somewhat modelled along the US's.

I had to go into a drastic redrafting mode and consider arduous qualifiers and caveats.

I had to narrow the field to Anglo-Saxon countries and leave out "pesky" Asian women (apart from Tsai also Park Geun-hye of South Korea, Yingluck of Thailand, etc.) to win my argument. A position I strongly hold on to as asserted by my caption above.

The US Presidential Election system is heavily stacked against women or rather the nature of women.

Neurosciences have proven beyond a shadow of doubt that the brains of men and women are wired quite fundamentally different.

The US system is man-brain friendly and features numerous hoops and other obstreperous curbs to trip and stumble woman-brain aspirants as they participate in the race.

Carly Fiorina and Hillary Clinton thus far and yet still so far away from the first votes to be casted in November had already made full displays of the female impediments present in this contest. Check out the hilarious segments of news, debates and talk shows.

In a snap review within my newly defined parameters, I summon into comparison, Margaret Thatcher of ye olde England. It's the Westminster Parliamentary system of cabinet colleagues being among equals that gave Maggie a shot at the Premiership of Great Britain. 

It needed a bellicose, hot-tempered and vengefully sulky bachelor in the form of Edward Heath as leader who thrashed all the other male cabinet colleagues to the point that none dared rise to the occasion to challenge him. Maggie then sneaked in and slipped into power at the opportune moment during the "War of Testosterones". No such situation can exist in the US system.

The US system is too neat and rigid. It has no side pathways for womanly wiles and charms to wriggle through. The cabinet is made up of impotent puppet appointees. Hillary had no chance of displacing Obama even when her aggressive foreign policies stance over Obama's was favoured by the electorate. The British system would have ensured Hillary be elevated to President at that very moment.

A lot can be gleaned from the President-elect of Taiwan for US women. I hope to write more about her. For the moment, the important highlight is her extraordinary Chinese name "Ing-wen" which translated to English means precisely "English". This probably inspired her after her foundational Chinese education in Taiwan to obtain her Masters degree in Law from Cornell University, New York and her Ph. D from London School of Economics, UK.

Carly and Hillary already have the advantage of English education. Perhaps there is an Anglo-Saxon link they can profit from in their struggles. Just hoping to give you ladies a head start.

In the hallmark tradition of Trump after an offensive view made, I need to follow in his parlance as well and say I love women and women love me. It just happens to be true. 

"Make America Great"

Haven't we heard that somewhere before ? Some guy has been uttering something close to it a lot, lately. Except that he has one extra word - "again".

Isn't "again" a superfluous word here ?

America has been in the making of being great by talented and brilliant people in all fields of knowledge and endeavours since the last century. The last time I checked, no other country has come anywhere near that greatness yet, and may never do so.

All the other countries are doing is playing catch up and by a long shot on the good and great things that are already happening in America (high living standards, quality lifestyle, etc). And cultivating their individually (as a nation) relevant "Reactions" for self-preservation and protection against clandestine and nefarious American "initiatives".

It's 2016 and the political Shenanigans are shifting into top gear. Politicians with White House ambitions are behaving like mad bulls on heat looking for perceived enemies and self-invented ones.

Best part, they also beat themselves up too. Hence, the engineering of the mantra on "America being great again" mentioned here. All in all, they are like self-flagellation rituals you see in some religious ceremonies. Obviously to manufacture sympathetic consent from the electorate for unabated power and dollars for their next adventures.

America is pathologically convulsing from overdosing on the toxins of the poisonous seeds of destruction it has sown. And it is not the rejuvenating type of seeds that had worked so well for Capitalism !   

Helpless and targeted nations will cower in fear as they await the feverishly convulsing new leader of Great America unfold plans that may inflict sufferings and death upon their women and children, and drive them out of their homes.

America the Great, the solutions are within you. Make this election about changing yourselves, again. Obama tried and cried. More is needed.

Stop blaming and thrashing the rest of the world and there may be hope for PEACE ON EARTH..

God Bless America.

US$ 1.6 Bn Powerball Prize/Obama Cried

These two events are connected by a common factor, if you think hard enough about them. The first exudes explosive euphoria and the other expresses abyssal sadness. Yet, they can be reconciled and in the process to open minds to possibilities that certain Americans doggedly cannot fathom hitherto.

I may seem to sound harsh or hard-hitting, but the pig-headed intransigence of the gun lobbyists requires sledge hammers to crack some sense into them.

The depth of the troubles I am prepared to undergo to wield the heavy sledge hammers show I sincerely wish all Americans well.

I have dreams of instant wealth and wherever I had worked and lived, I had the occasional indulgence in the local lotteries. Great Britain, Hong Kong, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and, of course, Malaysia.

In all these countries, I am aware tax is paid on the bet and therefore the prize money, in this case all of the US$ 1.6 bn, would be totally tax free on instant payout. No need to stretch the payout over 20 years to mitigate the tax liability or take a heavily discounted instant sum.

A lottery bet is treated like a consumer spending taxed at the point of spending and the prize a tax-free windfall.  

If the US needs to be so sticky to the principles of tax laws, then why don't you tax casino winnings on poker, black jack, roulette, baccarat, etc, and provide tax reliefs to the losers. The administration and paperwork would be hellish.

This mental blind spot (ossified blockage?) in taxing lottery winnings in the US appears to have a parallel in the inveterate gun-totting mentality of Americans.

When you limit the gun numbers, the dangerous fringe in the population of those not entitled to own guns and who do so can be more easily detected.

Efficacious current technologies in securing and protecting homes and that almost everyone owns a smart phone (down to 6 year olds) debunk the advocacy of those that guns are needed for protection.

A friend of mine in Malaysia was robbed recently. While the robbers ransacked the downstairs of his house, his son woke up in a room upstairs and called the police with his smart phone. The police arrived within minutes and shot dead two robbers who fought back.

When less guns are in circulation, the police can do their jobs more efficiently, confidently and safely for all concerned.

In modern living today unlike the wild west of old, no guns do not at all translate into no protection. You have, in reality, more protection and safety when the civilians have no guns as proven in many countries.

Piers Morgan, you tried your best

Beautiful Malaysia, ANOINTED KISMET ?

In a mild breeze, a drooping Malaysian flag languidly wiggling can be easily mistaken for a US flag. Once fully erect, however, fluttering proudly in the humid winds, the differences in the flags can be noticed.

In the Stars and the Stripes, in place of the Stars is a Crescent and a Star and you have the Malaysian flag.

The Malaysian flag with  its similar stripes to the US's is the only flag in the world that has this close resemblance.

The Force (same as in Star Wars perhaps?) in the Universe has its sense of humour and, on salient occasions, enjoy an indulgent "facts teasing" game with (upon?) us mere mortal earthlings. 

Two paramountly significant such games in the past. One, the assassinations of Lincoln and Kennedy. Lincoln's secretary was named Kennedy and Kennedy's Lincoln. Lincoln ascended to the throne in 1860 and Kennedy 1960.

The "facts teasing" wonders of this Lincoln-Kennedy saga go on and on if you check on the net. There is insufficient room here to accommodate.

The other is when the US fixed up an Osama to be its arch-adversary after 9/11. In around 7 years later a totally unknown and unheard of Obama became the President of the US !!! How cool is that. You simply have to LOL huh and admire the Force for its enormous sense of humour.

Wait !... There is more to come on the horizon. Why am I burdened with the calling to bring up to the world a prophecy of a coming occurrence involving the likeness of the two flags mentioned ?

Just read through my entire blog and reflect on the oddities of the topics. It can only be the inspiration and guidance from the Force. I don't even have an idea of the topic I am going to write about the day before I wrote it. Chilling isn't it ?

Two substantive events that had already happened in Malaysia bear out my calling in this regard. First, the visit of Sheikh Imran Hosein to Malaysia whence he honoured Malaysia as the staging platform to broadcast a sacred prophecy to the world on the destinies of Russia and China in the New World Order.

Second, the extraordinary mystery of MH 370. Evidence is emerging from the unravelling of the conspiracies in 9/11 that have parallels to and can explain the disappearance of MH 370. The brilliant Rebekah Roth with gifted instincts on airline matters must be invited to Malaysia to look at this case of MH 370.

There may be more than these two events but I am not aware of them. Malaysians are traditionally so humble and we don't brag (know?) about potentially earth shattering events. I only learned two days ago of Sheikh's eschatological prognostics of such gargantuan significance, prestigiously announced in Malaysia in 2013.

If anyone is aware of an event, please comment.

Fellow Malaysians we are in together on a colossally destined event of a lifetime. Are your hairs standing on ends bracing for the plausible Tsunami like fallouts, based on the flags linked harbinger that has centre stage in Malaysia ?

Dr M, your dreams for Malaysia will be fulfilled soon.....

When Good Men Do Nothing

The complete quote goes something like this - The only thing necessary for the Triumph of Evil is for Good Men to do nothing. Attributable to Edmund Burke.

In the context of today's society, the Good Men who can do something are those in the entrepreneurial class who had triumphed and become Super Rich.

Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, Mark Zuckerberg, Jack Ma, Larry Ellison, Robert Kuok, Koch Brothers, Walton Family, to name a few.

Using their wealth in tame philanthropic causes that produce glitterati fanfare on their "noble" activities and making them "feel good" inside will not save the world or make a pip of a difference.

The world is riddled with manifest miseries, sufferings and deprivations. Money poured in will only yield minutiae pockets of relief momentarily for those fortunate enough to be noticed or selected because of their potential to generate great publicity blitzs. 

Meanwhile, the source of Evil is fast and far overpowering these phoney and feeble reliefs that are being provided.

The frightening depths of this Evil is its dexterity to use a Beautiful and Gracious Nation like the US to camouflage and protect its tiny nest of vipers breeding the horrendous and despicable Evil.

Donald Trump seems for the moment to be the significant personality to have come out of his sybaritic comforts and out of his way to fight this Evil.

His is a highly risky mission fraught with heart wrenching episodes as he gains in the primary polls ...

There is no lesser price to pay to thump Evil in the Eye. We must all pray for his safe keeping even if not his success. And why not his success if Evil can be contained ??? 

Please spread this important message to as many people as possible to rise against Evil.

Moore Dead Wrong on Obama

Michael Moore that is, whose assessment of Obama's legacy is that he will be remembered merely as the first Black American President, that's it. Ouch !

More salt was rubbed onto Obama's wound in The Young Turks Show airing this assessment when the host, Cenk Uygur, piled on with more insults of his own of an insipid Obama Presidency.

These were the guys who cheered Obama on during the elections and now they demand their pound of flesh.

This is a big problem of Americans towards their President and a good reason for the comparative cultural views in this blog to widen perspectives.

Most Americans have not cultivated the finesse of judging and defining a person for what he is able to resist doing. Americans are all for clamouring for actions and more actions just for actions sake and this is what gets the US into hot soups most of the time.

A country sometimes needs a breather for consolidation and Obama took office at the time of such a threshold. Obama managed to stall the momentum of numerous nefarious initiatives brought into full throttle by the previous Administration and Reagan's.  

Obama did not cave in to the egging ons and baitings to start or escalate nasty conflicts.

Obama did not lose his dignity when humiliated and taunted by Netanyahu who visited the US without prior consultations with the White House to address the joint Houses of Congress and the Senate on an issue lambasting a key policy of Obama's.

Obama did not lose his cool over the manner his family was insulted. A vulgar attack was made against Michelle Obama when she took part in a dance on the Ellen Degeneres Show. Nothing close to this kind of attack was made against Barbara, Laura or Hillary. Unkind remarks were unfairly hurled at Obama's children. This did not happen to the Bush's twin or Chelsea. Obama hid his seething feelings graciously.

Obama is not predisposed to contemplating treacherous false flag connivances or any other forms of rogue government behaviour. Momentum is gathering on the exposure of a previous Administration of perhaps the most callous and treasonable scheme in the history of the US that had maimed and killed many US citizen locally and overseas in misdirected and misinformed regime change undertakings.

Obama did not indulge in salacious flirtations and affairs with members of the opposite sex.

And the list goes on.

Michael, you are a good person. May I recommend you watch some episodes of David Carradine's Kung Fu series to appreciate the "Yin" aura around Obama and perhaps reconsider your assessment.

Although you are a champion of the underdogs' interests in society, you are nevertheless still blessed with the privilege of being a White Man who is spared certain troubling personal inconveniences and less rosy realities that a Black American President faces.

In any event, Obama through his personal sacrifices has broken the hard ground that will make the ride much easier for future non-White Presidents.

Obama's Greatness though not fully appreciated hitherto will eventually take its hallowed place in History. 

Chinese VANITY

I have dedicated the initial part of 2016 to opening on the subject of the weaknesses of the Chinese Brand Building Mentality.

BAZINGA !!! As Sheldon Cooper of Big Bang (also equally descriptive of this "circuit breaker" fiasco here) would exclaim on the 2016 welcome to the Chinese Stock Market. Its brand new just introduced, starting from 2016 circuit breakers had kicked in twice already, stopping trading on two days out of the first four trading days of the year. A 50% record !

Surely this phenomenon is far more deserving of attention at this moment than Brand Building. Though both topics, Brand Building and Stock Market Curbing fiascos have common roots in certain flavours of Chinese Vanity. 

This is a clear example of the authorities' blatant "decision making" without proper research and paying attention to the peculiarities of the Chinese Stock Market.

NYSE has the 7, 13, 20 rule and the Chinese probably felt we looked better (or are better) with 5, 7, just out of thin air.

A seasoned, well tested and learned market has a wider tolerance band than an immature and wild market.

All nascent markets have to stumble around and put up with the wild vagaries of their growing pangs. Particularly, the temperament of the shrewd Chinese towards punting instincts and quick profits.

When the tolerance band is too narrow, there is no incentive for the market optimists to come in as a position taken may be trapped by the cessation of trading in a short while. There is no sufficient leeway to unwind intraday trades and overnight positions carry higher risks. With the optimists staying out, the pessimists will panic even more and trigger the curbs.

It will definitely be a doubling down hammering the market ! 

If you have to have a market, have a market and don't strangle it with tight curbs.

Fortunately, the authorities had the good sense to suspend the curbs as of today and let's see the effects.

A more feasible threshold for curbs on the Chinese Stock Market to start with would be the simple 10, 20, 30 percentages rule along the same restriction conditions as NYSE's 7, 13, 20 respectively.

There is always danger in reinventing the wheel. Where the Gurus have shown the way, why try to be a smarter Alec ???

Some of the observations garnered here will help me illustrate better the subject of Chinese Brand Building later on.

China to Win 2016 Rio Olympics

Winning as a nation in this case would mean to be at the top of the medals table.

Most countries look upon the Olympics as a world major sporting event to participate in a spirit of Goodwill and Fellowship amongst men and women of the world.

As a nation develops and progresses, its sporting prowess will improve in tandem. All things being equal, its fair share of sporting prodigies will emerge naturally from better nutrition and sporting facilities available. 

The natural process is too slow for China and it unabashedly brings intense strategies involving science, psychology and secret training camps into sports to gain the coveted top spot in medals tally.

China can hardly be faulted when it truly wants to exploit its vast natural resource - Human Beings. It has strategically ruled out games and sports that rely on the huge physical attributes of the participants.

It is then better able to focus on those games and sports that demand nimbleness and artful techniques. It uses studies from science to select the best body structures and proportions. The best mix of muscles and fats in the most appropriate body locations for a particular game or sport.  

Then, there are the well funded secret training facilities employing the best methodologies and the licence to push and test the athletes to even beyond their endurance limits. 

Tiger Woods is probably the most well known Free World athlete who had undergone similar endurance "torture" when his dad enthusiastically and vigorously started him on golf before his second birthday.

Apart from the stick, carrot is also used. Capitalist China can now offer each gold medal winner an instant prize money of US$ 200,000.00 and a lucrative senior position in the Government Service.

Meanwhile in 2016, the US will be bickering over non-issues that will debilitate and harm its citizens. Issues that had long been settled in many less developed countries and their citizens are enjoying the ensuing peace, good health and prosperity, In its Presidential Race, US is still quibbling over gun laws, healthcare, fair taxes and their allocations.

One big thing standing in the way of China's ambitions in the Olympics is geography. US and Rio are aligned in their time zones. US athletes therefore have the advantage of the biological clock on its side.

For those who don't fancy sports and games in 2016, you can look forward to the literary treats and delights of the Celebrations of the 400 anniversary of the passing on of William Shakespeare. O Romeo, Romeo ! wherefore art thou in 2016, Romeo ?

ANY WHICH WAY, HAVE A GREAT 2016
