Muammar Gaddafi, Libyan fighter ...

Even Adolf Hitler dared not face his enemy. Rather than fight to the end with guns blazing or fight to the proverbial last bullet as he asked of his soldiers, Hitler took the easy way out and killed himself in the confines of his bunker. He died a coward, like Himmler and Goering.

Not so Muammar Gaddafi. He dared confront his enemies and, in spite of being injured in the legs and body, he faced his enemies like a true soldier that he was, before being cut down by overwhelming odds. By my book, he is a true fighter. Al-Fatihah.

Who are you kidding ? ...

This chinaman catholic bishop by the name of Paul Tan Chee, in a conference with other Asian bishops somewhere in Bangkok, praised 3 men in Malaysia (Anwar Ibrahim, Nik Aziz, Chua Soi Lek) for distancing themselves from the 1,000,000 gathering of Muslims in the Shah Alam stadium, this saturday.

His reason for the praise was for the "bravery" of these 3 men to stand up against, what he perceives, as an anti-Christianity demonstration. I'll have him know that the demonstration is to warn the Christian cadres not to christianise Muslims in Malaysia, and not as an anti-Christian demonstration. We Muslims, Malays especially, don't care a damn if the Christians convert the Chinese (who are ever too willing, especially to have names like Harry, Johnson, Brad Pitt, Elizabeth, Teresa etc before their shameful (?) Chinese names like Lee Kuan, Chua Soi, Kock and so on) or Indians (like Antonius Fernando, Gorgeous Jacobus, etc. ) or any other Malaysians like the Kadazans, or the Dayaks.

What we don't want is for you to convert the Muslims here, especially the Malays here, to be Christians. Period. If the Muslims in Malaysia are really anti-Christians, then Christians in this country are a dying breed. Yet, they thrive because we tolerate those Fred Wongs, the Angela Tans, the Robert Kuoks, the Teresa Cocks, the DeCruzs and so on.

And by the way, why do non - Malays here are ever willing to be Christians ? In Britain, America, and in Europe, those Mat Sallehs there wouldn't allow you to step in their churches. If you wish to pray, they advise you to go to those churches meant for coloured people. Period. And, by the way again, does Tan Chee's name also begin with Aloysius Paul or Gregorious Paul ?

After the Saturday demonstration in the Shah Alam (by the way, the turnout was some thousands, certainly not a million or thereabout), the general consensus was that the real culprits were the "evangelical christians" that were responsible for the attempts to convert Muslims or Malays to become christians, particular in light of the "Islamaphobic" events triggered by the 9/11 incidents. While Islamaphobia is spreading in America since then, I haven't seen nor heard of evangelical forces going all out to convert anyone in this country - certainly not with the evangelistic fervour of a Billy Graham. Given the bigotry that exist across the spectrum of the American population, since brought in by the anglo-saxon bigots of England when they settled in America, prejudice against not-of-their-kind, is nothing new. There had been "Injunaphobia", "Negrophobia", "Chinaphobia", "Non-Whitophobia", "Jewphobia" and so on in US American history. Islamaphobia is now the penultimate phobia since 9/11. Of course, these "evangelical" christians would not convert those not-of-their-kind to christianity in America itself for this means accepting them into their fold - since, by nature, the anglo or rather white bigots will never, ever accept them as their kind. However, they have no compunction to try their level best to convert the natives of the respective countries. As for example, what the Portuguese did to the Malays of Melaka, with the geragoks as a result. Even then, when the Portuguese was in power, they never succeeded in converting the Malays to become christians, and if they had succeeded in making the Malays "catholics", it was because the Malays then succumbed at the point of a gun or a cannon. The Malays were and are still set in their Muslim ways. Whether they are devout, good, or a poor practitioner of the Muslim faith is a different matter altogether. And now, when the Malays are in power, it's inconceivable that these evangelist christians can go around with impunity to convert Malays to be christians, although I may admit that, one or two, may be tempted to become christians for social reasons, not cajolery, by the evangelists.

As I said before ...

A full broad sheet page was devoted to the problems with black Africans today. Coming to Malaysia, ostensibly to study, they number at least 29,000, perhaps even more, as many of them are still here after their visas have expired. It seems that some of them are in age range of 30 to 40, and how could private colleges enrol them as students ? The truth is these Africans find Malaysians easy pickings for their nefarious activities such as peddling drugs, indulging in internet scams and black money, and so on. Why today, an African from ... was caught in possession of counterfeit USDs and Euros with a face value of some RM 800,000. Another instance is about a syndicate of 8 Nigerian men being involved in conjobs to the tune of RM 900,000 for the last 2 years. All claim to be students and tourists. Worse, the local population have had enough of these noisy, drunken, unruly group of people that have no respect for the Malaysian culture and way of life.

As I said before somewhere in this blog, the Africans are no good and are always up to no good and it's about time the authorities come down hard on them. One way of addressing the problem is to disallow them entry. Another way is to deport them back to their countries the moment they are caught indulging in criminal and antisocial activities. Why should we waste all that expense to remand them in jail, to feed them, and to go through due process of law and order for which they have no respect. We should tell them, in no uncertain terms, that we don't need them and their business. My advice is to Kick the Bastards Out of this country, for good.

People from around the region come to Malaysia to earn a living, to earn a few extra money to send home to their starving or unfortunate families. People like those from Myanmar, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Philipines and so on come to Malaysia legally or as illegal migrants just in order to earn some money, in spite of the fact that many of them are being constantly harassed by the authorities. Yet these bloody apes from Africa come here to cheat the people of Malaysia, coming here as middle-aged students to study, to study what I wonder. The authorities and the people of Malaysia should smoke them out from the apartments in Puchong, Seremban, Cheras and so on and send them packing back to where they come from. We never needed them before, we don't need them now, nor will we ever, ever need them !

Update 21/10/2011 Friday: A local paper published the number of various Africans in cheating cases in 2010 and up to Sept 2011. In both years, topping the list are Nigerians with 123 and 109 of them respectively, followed by Cameroonians with 20 and 6 respectively. Quite a number involved Africans from Ghana, Liberia, Zimbabwe, South Africa, and even the Congo. Without exception, all are black Africans. All have been apprehended by the authorities. These are Africans involved in cheating cases like perpetrating internet scams, black money but there are many others also involved in drug trafficking and prostitution. With more than 30,000 of them in and around the country, their crimes are merely the tip of the iceberg. Malaysian authorities should take a tough stand on these Africans who come here not as tourists but as criminals.

The US never learns ....

The US administration is at it again. Not long ago, Bush and his administration believed that Iraq, or rather Saddam Hussain, possessed weapons of mass destruction. In his mistaken belief that Saddam Hussain planned to destabilise the Middle-East and consequently the world, he went to war with Iraq, resulting in the slaughter of hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqis.

US is now at it again, accusing Iran as having a hand in an attempt to assassinate the Saudi Arabian ambassador to the US on US soil.

Obviously US has been fed with false information just it had been before by its own intelligence and Israel. Come to think of it, if Iran really wanted to get rid of the Saudi Ambassador, why would Iran engage the services of Mexico's drug cartel to carry out the assassination as though Iran hasn't enough people to do it ? Killing the Saudi ambassador is easy. Any determined Iranian or middle-eastern killer (or, for that matter, any wimp of a kid) can easily track the ambassador's movements and can kill the envoy by a single shot to the head. Why would Iran jeopardise its world standing by hiring a cheap killer from Mexico ? And why would Iran plan to eliminate the ambassador to the US where there is no dearth of Saudi Ambassadors in the other countries. What's so special about the Saudi ambassador to the US ?

The truth is that the US administration runs out of excuse to punish Iran for what it perceives as a country as destabilising the Middle-East. US reckons that the existing sanction against Iran is not as effective as it has hoped, for Iran is showing off that it can produce missiles, both long and short range, in the thousands. The US is determined to teach Iran a lesson and therefore has to take a tougher stand against Iran but what is the excuse ? Short of physical attacks on Iran (threats that the US has uttered several times, together with Israel), a practical method is by persuading other countries to boycott Iran, by sanctions, just as US and Europe did to Iraq when Saddam was in power.

But what is the underlying reason for US trying to undertake extreme measures against Iran ? I doubt it's because Iran has weapons and the means to deliver them for, in spite of its armaments, the US or Israel or even Iran itself knows that Iran is no match against the US and, if Israel is included in the equation, Iran simply doesn't stand a chance to wage war. Most likely, the paramount reason is, simply, oil. Not oil per se, for US can import oil from any other oil exporting nation throughout the world.

It is because the oil and gas transactions between Iran and its customers is conducted using currencies other than the USD. Iran is now insisting that reserve currencies such as the Euro, Swiss Franc, the Yen and so on are being paid to them for Iran's oil exports to the respective countries. [Mahmud Ahmadinejad used to condemn rightly the USD as being worth no more than toilet paper]. It won't be long before other oil exporting countries follow suit the wisdom of Ahmadinejad. The implication would be that the USD would degenerate in value - and this means sharp devaluation, resulting in a catastrophic impact on the US economy.

What happens if most of the oil exporting countries decide not to transact in US dollars, (the so- called "petrodollars") ? There would then be a surplus of US dollars in circulation, in the bank vaults and so on. Less and less people would use the USD to buy oil, or use them to import goods other than oil. The USD would gradually degenerate until they fall into insignificance and become useless for international settlements. Countries that keep their forex assets in USD (presently more than 60% forex reserves held by most countries are in USD) would gradually let them go in exchange for forex assets in other reserve currencies such as the Euro, the Swiss Franc, the British Pound, the Yen and the Yuan.

Most people thought that the US went to war with Iraq in order to get rid of Saddam Hussain for fear that his alleged possession of weapons of mass destruction could destabilise the whole world, especially the Middle-East. In reality, US went to war because Saddam Hussain started transacting his oil using currencies other than the USD. The possession of weapons of mass destruction (it was later proven than Saddam Hussain had not even an atom of uranium or plutonium for of nuclear weapons at all) was merely a good excuse to get rid of Saddam and to impress upon the world that the US administration insisted that world trade settlement was conducted in USD only.
