>PAP really no different from US Govt

>Many Singaporeans lament the fact that Singapore is a one-party rule system. However, unknown to many supporters of opposition, some who clamour for more democracy US-style, is the fact that the US is also effectively a one-party system.

Now don’t you give me that Republican vs Democrat elephant-cum-donkey sh*t. Whether you vote jumbo dung or for an ass, it is still effectively the same result. Just like no different whether you are for the LHL camp or for the WKS camp. They are the same, aren’t they?

There are many bills, resolutions passed by the various levels of the US Govt, where for all the hype, debate and opposition against those bills, when it comes to the vote, it is always the same thing. The White Whore(s) gets what it wants. No different from PAP.

Look at the wars. While many US citizens want an end to it, it is always funds for more wars. Doesn’t matter if it happens to be Bush the Republican or Obama the Democrat.

To prove my point further, below is a link to a video clip of a bill being passed, where the House of Representatives never really took the trouble to understand the dire implications of the bill. The minority of those who do understand, still vote for it too – leaving a sole opposition voice, Dr Ron Paul, Congressman for Texas. Sounds like the PAP, where they vote for yes, even after debating against the bill, no?

The bill in question is aid for Haiti. No problem with that per se. But the deeper implication is that the US is committed to long term plans to occupy Haiti militarily, with unlimited resources being poured in to control Haiti. Oooooh…….

Watch the video clip how Dr Ron Paul tried hard to convince others to understand the bill and its deeper sinister and negative implication, but to no avail. (So all my posts and tweets about American Hypocrisy on the Haiti Aid is true, isn’t it?)

Video Clip – Ron Paul on the US military takeover of Haiti – Incidentally, Dr Paul was one of the saner Presidential Candidates for 2008. Because he is anti-war, the media blocked him out. Say…it really sounds like PAP in control.

Here is my post on Dr Ron Paul’s Presidential Election Campaign in Nov 2007.
Last Hope for America (and the world) – Ron Paul

>Oil and Gas – Reason for America’s Occupation of Haiti?

>In the last few weeks, there has been news of how the US poured in tons of troops to Haiti, purportedly for the purpose of aid. As it turned out, US took controlled of airports, the palace and distribution centres of food and medicine – and even blocked aid from other parties. Little aid was going to the victims.

It looks like US interest in Haiti is nothing about humanitarian aid, but for oil and gas.

The Fateful Geological Prize Called Haiti

….Behind the smoke, rubble and unending drama of human tragedy in the hapless Caribbean country, a drama is in full play for control of what geophysicists believe may be one of the world’s richest zones for hydrocarbons-oil and gas outside the Middle East, possibly orders of magnitude greater than that of nearby Venezuela…..

A relevant Texas geological project
Leaving aside the relevant question of how well in advance the Pentagon and US scientists knew the quake was about to occur, and what Pentagon plans were being laid before January 12, another issue emerges around the events in Haiti that might help explain the bizarre behavior to date of the major ‘rescue’ players—the United States, France and Canada. Aside from being prone to violent earthquakes, Haiti also happens to lie in a zone that, due to the unusual geographical intersection of its three tectonic plates, might well be straddling one of the world’s largest unexplored zones of oil and gas, as well as of valuable rare strategic minerals.

The vast oil reserves of the Persian Gulf and of the region from the Red Sea into the Gulf of Aden are at a similar convergence zone of large tectonic plates, as are such oil-rich zones as Indonesia and the waters off the coast of California. In short, in terms of the physics of the earth, precisely such intersections of tectonic masses as run directly beneath Haiti have a remarkable tendency to be the sites of vast treasures of minerals, as well as oil and gas, throughout the world.

Notably, in 2005, a year after the Bush-Cheney Administration de facto deposed the democratically elected President of Haiti, Jean-Baptiste Aristide, a team of geologists from the Institute for Geophysics at the University of Texas began an ambitious and thorough two-phase mapping of all geological data of the Caribbean Basins. The project is due to be completed in 2011. Directed by Dr. Paul Mann, it is called “Caribbean Basins, Tectonics and Hydrocarbons.” It is all about determining as precisely as possible the relation between tectonic plates in the Caribbean and the potential for hydrocarbons—oil and gas.

Notably, the sponsors of the multi-million dollar research project under Mann are the world’s largest oil companies, including Chevron, ExxonMobil, the Anglo-Dutch Shell and BHP Billiton.[1] Curiously enough, the project is the first comprehensive geological mapping of a region that, one would have thought, would have been a priority decades ago for the US oil majors. Given the immense, existing oil production off Mexico, Louisiana, and the entire Caribbean, as well as its proximity to the United States – not to mention the US focus on its own energy security – it is surprising that the region had not been mapped earlier. Now it emerges that major oil companies were at least generally aware of the huge oil potential of the region long ago, but apparently decided to keep it quiet.

So, for the sake of oil and gas, these people kept silent and allowed thousands of lives to perish. Sick.

Here is my earlier post about how pathetic and screwed up US is even when it comes to aid. But then again, we now know that US has never been interested in aid. It’s all about the OIL $$$.

US Screws Up not only in Wars, but also during Peace Time

>Funny and distateful, but very true

>I do not know what to make out of this spoof video clip. It is about Israel’s aid to Haiti. On one hand, the satire truly represents the arrogance of the Israelis themselves. On the other hand, the humour is done at the expense of the Haitians.

The underlying message however is very powerful. That Israel uses propaganda to paint itself as angels, at the expense of others. The show is an Israeli production, btw.

>US Screws Up not only in Wars, but also during Peace Time

>I have been tweeting about America’s (sinister) role in the Haiti Aid the last few days. From America’s inability to do things right like screwing up the Aid, to its hidden agenda taking over control of Haiti itself. However, the following piece of news is so bizarre, I just have to post it on the main blog.

Here is a link to show how the American military really, really screws things up when they are in control.

Aid piling up at UN’s ‘cold beer’ compound as red tape keeps aid from desperate Haitians – while UN staff have wi-fi and a bar

It is a tale of two cities. One has ice-cold beers, internet access, thousands of men and billions of dollars’ worth of gleaming machinery, together with piles of food, blankets, generators and other aid relief from around the globe.

This is the heavily fortified US-controlled Port-au-Prince airport and neighbouring United Nations compound.

The other is the devastated city of Port-au-Prince, where the stench of death fills the air and starving people are in utter despair, still in need of the basic necessities of food, water, shelter and medical care.

Never, in more than 20 years of covering disasters, has the void between the might and power of the Westernised world and the penniless and pitiful people they have been mobilised to ‘save’ been so glaringly obvious to me.

Here are my tweets on Haiti before the above report was published.

US Occupies Haiti’s Airports
US Screws Up Aid
US Occupying Haiti, possibly for Oil
US screws up wars, now it screws up Aid
US Occupies Palace and Blocks French Aid

Cold beer and wi-fi for rescuers while thousands of Haitians lay dying? If the US wants to take charge of the rescue and humanitarian operation, they really should set their priorities right.

Or is it that nearly nine years of torture, killings and maiming of women and children in the Afghan and Iraq Wars have made these people into monsters?

As a side note, it is interesting the author of the article highlighted: “Never, in more than 20 years of covering disasters, has the void between the might and power of the Westernised world and the penniless and pitiful people they have been mobilised to ‘save’ been so glaringly obvious to me.”

This reminds of of another article I highlighted in this blog. It is about how the West is so eager to help Africa, because it wants to show the world its “soft side”, noting very well that it needs to “redeem itself” because of the blood on its hands, getting involved in the wars in the Middle East and Afghanistan. Here is the post I made more than two years ago.
