TR EMERITUS

Israel’s brutal bombardment of Gaza must end. The slaughter of the Palestinians must stop. This is not defense. The international community must call for an immediate and full ceasefire. Ireland must be a loud voice for peace, dialogue and the rule of international law.      Read More →

Preface: Did you know on a quarterly basis, Singapore had the highest excess deaths in the world for the last 4 quarters running? We are the champion. We are worse off than UK. But whilst the Brits have started inquiry into their excess deaths, our government is still mum about it. I am also putting The Workers Party and Progress Singapore Party on notice for sleeping in the same bed as PAP in not bringing this existential issue up for discussion in parliament. And Chee Soon Juan of Singapore Democratic Party, as well as Peoples Voice for their silence on this issue. “In the beginning of a change the patriot is a scarce man, and brave, and hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot.”... Mark Twain The uphill battle against vaccine tyranny clearly shows Mark Twain’s sharp observation. Cross the line and suggest or support a narrative at odds with the government, careers get railroaded and lives destroyed. In the whole of Singapore, there has been to my knowledge, only two medical professionals who have spoken out on the dangers of the noveau vaccines. One quickly retracted his statement under duress. An oncologist today remains a solitary voice of warning. Whilst there have been several folks who have been vocal and written against the mRNA vaccines, such as Goh Meng Seng and this humble blog, the attempt to galvanise action and initiate an official dialogue and investigation rests on the shoulders of one little woman, Iris Koh. Iris founded the online group ‘Healing the Divide’ to "fill an information gap about COVID-19". She is Mark Twain’s patriot, one-of-a-kind, brave and certainly hated and scorned. Whether one is a detractor, of which there is a multitude, or a supporter, one has to admire Iris’ passion in her pursuit for dialogue and reassessing the evidence. The game is basically over but the Singapore Government plays on. Yesterday Oct 23, folks in UK finally commenced an inquiry into their high excess death rate. I believe this is under private auspices as their parliament, like everywhere else, is shirking their responsibilities. Look at the graph below and it is obvious Singapore is in greater dire straits than UK. We like to be tops in various indexes, well congratulations, on a quarterly basis, Singapore has the highest excess death rate in the world for the last four quarters running. And our parliament has still not awaken from their slumber. PAP and opposition members are sleeping in the same bed. Are these excess death rates something to worry about? In Statistics lingo, the question is, are the rates significant. In this kind of analysis, statisticians have set 5% as the red flag. Anything higher than 5% is significant. Singapore's high excess death rate is very significant. In other words, something beyond the ordinary caused these high rates. There can be only two causation - Covid itself or the mRNA vaccines. From the very beginning, it was determined risk of fatality from Covid is only high in the elderly and those with comorbidity. Even then it was projected at less than 1%. That left the vaccines as the sole causation. The main questions that need answering by the government are : 1). Why did Singapore surrender our medical sovereignty? There was a show of Task Force and medical professional input and participation in pandemic management, but in reality, all countries including Singapore, simply took the cue from WHO and initiatives of American FDA and CDC. 2). Why did the government put absolute faith on a vaccine that has not been properly tested? 3). Why allow healthy Singaporeans to be injected with a vaccine for which MOF does not even know the biological make up? 4). Why procure vaccines and provide manufacturers with liability waivers? 5). Why did the MOF jettison hundreds of years of medical practice by denying qualified practitioners who knew their patients well and better situated to treat them, but instead became subservient to directives from agents, many of whom never treated a single patient in their life? I have always said, like in investment decisions, it is never fair to critique from the wisdom of hindsight. One can only criticise based on pre-fact situation. In the case of vaccines, all the pre-fact evidence point to a making of a colossal scam. Was the government scammed, were they a participant, or were they negligent? The pandemic management point to a total collapse of independent agencies that our community rely on as a matter of ordinary course of daily well being. In the face of rising deaths and injuries all over the world, of new medical studies warning of dangerous findings of adverse effects of the vaccines, of the suppression of dissenting voices, of evidence of wrongful acts by vaccine manufacturers, of false pro-vaccine articles funded by Big pharma, of treatment successes with non-authorised protocols, etc, the silence of these agencies is a betrayal of the public’s trust: 1). The opposition in not pushing for a parliamentary inquiry. 2). The medical profession in the form of various associations whose silence is ear shattering. 3). The legal profession and judiciary that has nothing to say about WHO encroaching into our sovereignty with their Pandemic Treaty, or stepping up to ensure justice for vaccine injured in terms of compensation. 4). Singapore embalmers who have nothing to say about blood clots unlike their counterparts in Western countries who are horrified at what they are seeing. 5). Singapore academia who should be parsing, dissecting, and discussing into all these new medical studies but are hibernating in their ivory towers. I notice a parallel of views on the vaccine amongst Singaporeans to folks in Western countries, like US. There seems to be a political correlation. In Western countries, Liberals tend to favour the vaccine and Conservatives tend to be anti-vac. In Singapore the vaccine deniers are predominantly from the opposition crowd. I wonder if it is a case of blind faith vs critical thinking. The ground seems to be shifting and evidence mounting that the pandemic is indeed a colossal scam on the scale of a criminal act against humanity. In the US, less than 2% are heeding the call for the latest booster shot. The game is basically over. Anthony Fauci and company is facing the possibility of being charged for humanitarian crimes, Pfizers’ days of unimaginable profits are gone, Moderna and Pfizer are facing medical suits with more in the days and years ahead, Bill Gates has admitted the vaccines have not worked as they should, CDC has admitted the science of lockdown was pulled out of a hat. Over in Switzerland, Pascal Najadi recently called on Swiss Authorities to arrest people behind the release of “Bioweapon” COVID-19 Shot. Pascal Najadi worked with Dr. Astrid Stuckelberger to delve into the dark underbelly of global organizations headquartered in Zurich that are involved with pushing the vaccines. Dr Astrid Buckelberger is a scientist, researcher, trainer, author who has served as consultant to various UN agencies including WHO. She presents insights from the operations side of WHO. I covered her in my blog The Greatest ‘Grand Jury’ In Human History (Day 2) in March 2022. Pascal Najadi is a retired Swiss business banker who advises countries and heads of state on the financial direction of the country. His father, Hussain Najadi, was co-founder of the World Economic Forum. Najadi Snr exited WEF in 1980s out of disdain with the organisation, leaving Klaus Schwab at the helm. Hussain Najadi was gunned down in 2013 in Kuala Lumpur for revealing corruption in his Ambank by Malaysian politicians and top executives of PM Najib’s administration. WHO, GAVI, and WEF are the specific Zurich entities. Najadi calls these three, together with Big Pharma and Big Tech, the Head of the Snake in the pandemic scam. Both GAVI and WEF operate with diplomatic immunity in Switzerland. GAVI is Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization, which is a Bill Gates’ vehicle for public–private global health partnership with the goal of increasing access to immunization in poor countries. GAVI gives Bill Gates, a non-medical person, a totally unacceptable position to influence national health policies whilst peddling the drugs of Big Pharma in which he has substantial investments. Najadi’s participation in the revolt against vaccine would be taken lightly at the scammers' peril. In December 2021 Najadi filed a criminal complaint with Swiss police against Alain Berset, then Swiss Health Minister and President. The complaint was Berset either lied, or he acted with gross negligence, when prior to the referendum for extension of Covid-19 Vaccine Certificate, he said on TV that the certificate is proof that the person is not contagious when in fact, at the time, it had already been established both vaccinated and unvaccinated can be contagious. Najadi’s police report led to an Attorney General investigation which forced the resignation of the Swiss President and his retirement from politics. The game is basically over, but the Singapore Government is very late on the curve. It has recently spent another few hundred million dollars on a vaccine people no longer want. Slowly but surely, anecdotes are building up that just like many other countries, Singapore has its fair share of SDS (Sudden Death Syndrome) and healthy young adults cut down by heart attacks and incapacitated by myocarditis. Turbo cancer is already getting noticed. The government trusted in the science when it comes to the vaccine. Why do they not trust in the science of high excess death statistics now starring at them right in the face? My guess is bye and bye, vaccine injury and death anecdotes can no longer be suppressed. And when these tragedies struck close to home, Mark Twain will be proven correct yet again, as increasing numbers of timid Singaporeans rally to Iris Koh’s call.   Patrick Low * Article first appeared on Down The Rabbit Hole.      Read More →

The current war between Israel and Hamas has been an exceedingly emotive affair. If you look any social media feed, you will see plenty of horror stories from both sides. Israelis and their Western friends point to the brutal slaughter of civilians and the hostage taking. The Palestinians and the Islamic world have been pointing to the fact that Gaza has been starved and bombed. Unfortunately, this is a case where both sides are wrong and at the same time, they have a point. There is no other way of describing the attacks on 7 October 2023 as anything other than barbaric. The indiscriminate slaughter of civilians went beyond any justification of resistance and its understandable that public opinion in Israel is for vengeance. At the same time, the bombing of the Gaza strip, which has killed even more innocent people has gone beyond any form of “self-defense.” In addition to the bombing, Gaza has been deliberately starved and humanitarian aid was been blocked. The only way you can argue that this hurts Hamas is that it will wipe out most of the population of the Gaza strip. [LINK] If you look at the root of the problem, you’ll realise that it is caused by the fact that both sides have a point and both sides are wrong. Every atrocity committed is justified by an atrocity committed by the other. What is needed is for someone to break this vicious cycle. Let’s face it, most places in the West are sympathetic to the Israelis and the phrase “our nine-eleven” is now being widely used, particularly when Israeli politicians meet the Western, or more specifically the American media. However, as the journalist, Medhi Hassan (who is Muslim, born and raised in the UK but now holds US citizenship) points out – the lessons of September 11 are not being learnt. After the Twin Towers were felled, the American public was justifiably angry and wanted revenge. The President of the time, George W Bush vowed to wage “War Against Terrorism” and the “Axis of Evil.” How well did this global campaign against the “evils of terrorism” work. The Invasion of Iraq to topple Saddam Hussain led to the creation of ISIS, which made Saddam Hussain look like a Teddy Bear. As for the Invasion of Afghanistan, the US has in twenty-years of occupying the country, spending some twenty trillion (nearly the GDP of China, its main geopolitical competitor) and countless American lives, left with the Taliban back in charge. So, leaving aside the morality of bombing the Gaza strip, there is no evidence to suggests that bombing and starving the Gaza strip is going to rid the world of Hamas or improve Israel’s security. If anything, the bombings are either going to help Hamas recruit more people or strengthen someone even more radical. One only has to watch that brilliant Israeli series, “Fauda” to understand that Israel needs to make the first move. As shown in Fauda, the Palestinian side is “reactive” and “emotional” when its nasty. The Israelis are calculative when they are nasty. As much as most of us who grew up in the Western influenced world believe Israeli to be the bullied “non-Muslim” small kid in the neighborhood; that is not the reality on the ground. As much as everyone is talking about the other side being “backed by Iran,” the reality is that Israel is considerably more powerful than the enclaves of the West Bank and the Gaza strip and happens to be backed by the USA and just about every rich and powerful European country. So, it is the so called “rational” and “powerful” side that needs to take the first step. This is the side that has the capability of bothering to find out why the other side is reactive, which is a point often made by Israeli journalist like Amira Hass. Again, the solution was clear. Land for peace works. The late Yitzhak Rabin showed that it was possible. He could tell the Israeli public that they needed to give up land in order to be secure. Mr. Rabin, for the record, was a decorated solider – he actually proved he was a damn good fighter. Unfortunately, he was assassinated by a Jewish Settler. Nobody has ever said that Israel does not have the right to defend itself. However, Israel has to play by the same rules as everyone else. Let’s go back to the issue of land for peace. On 30 April 2001, the Sharm El-Sheikh Fact-Finding Committee Report chaired by then US Senator George Mitchel (the man who pushed and got peace in Northern Ireland) proposed that “The GOI should freeze all settlement activity, including the "natural growth" of existing settlements,” as one of the key elements required to achieve peace. [LINK] The idea is simple, strengthen the Palestinian leaders who are willing to negotiate so you can negotiate. Even Hamas has its radical and moderate elements. In 2006, when Hamas won an election and acknowledged the “reality of Israel,” not withstanding its charter to destroy the Jewish State, the first reaction of the Bush Administration was to impose sanctions thus making it impossible for the moderates to do anything and strengthening the extremist. Nobody denies that the slaughter of children on October 7 was horrible and should be condemned. Nobody says that Israel should not go after the perpetrators. Bombing and starving the Gaza strip is not the way to do it. It will only [en]sure that there will be a repeat of this incident.   Tang Li *Although I’ve been based mainly in Singapore for nearly two decades, I’ve had the privilege of being able to meet people who have crossed borders and cultures. I’ve befriended ministers and ambassadors and worked on projects involving a former head of state. Yet, at the same time, I’ve had the privilege of befriending migrant labourers and former convicts. All of them have a story to tell. All of them add to the fabric of life. I hope to express the stories that inspire us to create life as it should be.      Read More →
