Dr. M. Blaming Everyone Else For His Own Crass Comments

Clarification Or Blaming Everyone Else For His Own Crass Comments? 30 October 2020

MISREPRESENTED CONTEXT 30 Oct 2020 1. I am indeed disgusted with attempts to misrepresent and take out of context what I wrote on my blog yesterday. 2. Those who did that highlighted only one part of paragraph 12 which read: “Muslims have a right to be angry and to kill millions of French people for the massacres of the past.” 3. They stopped there and implied that I am promoting the massacre of the French. 4. If they had read the posting in its entirety and especially the subsequent sentence which read: “But by and large the Muslims have not applied the “eye for an eye” law. Muslims don’t. The French shouldn’t. Instead the French should teach their people to respect other people’s feelings. 5. Because of the spin and out of context presentation by those that picked up my posting, reports were made against me and I am accused of promoting violence etc on Facebook and Twitter……..  etc etc …… http://chedet.cc/?p=3210 Source: Clarification Or Blaming Everyone Else For His Own Crass Comments?, Mahathir blog Comment 1. When in a hole, the advice goes, stop digging. 2. However, some arrogant political types find it impossible to ever back down, say sorry, admit fault or just shut up. 3. Despite his other qualities ex-PM4/7 has amply proven himself to be in that category by this petulant blaming of everyone but himself for his own ill-timed and inappropriate comments that were crassly designed to curry favour with Muslim groups. 4. Instead of issuing a clarification and gracious apology for those remarks he has now moaned he was meanly ‘misinterpreted’. 5. Dr Mahathir has criticised the US President over just this form of behaviour, but fails to see it in himself. 6. Right thinking people, including Muslims, are therefore embarrassed and appalled. 7. There is only one way to respond to an outrage such as took place in a church and on the street in France, which is to issue a SHORT statement of respectful condolence and to condemn violence against unarmed civilians for which there are no excuses. 8. Everyone knows that. Except, it appears, this self-important old fellow who decided it was the moment to treat the world to in depth lectures from himself about perceived historic injustices that may or may not underpin this incident, but will NEVER justify such vile acts. 9. Next advised step? Hire a decent editor and issue thanks to Twitter for intervening to warn against your inappropriate remarks. 10. Better still, retire. YES, agreed Dr. M. should retire with immediate effect. And not get into politics ever aain!!!

1MDB Expose of Trump's Top Fund Raiser

 

How The 1MDB Expose Caught Up With Trump's Top Fund Raiser 9 October 2020

As Sarawak Report indicated last month, after the lobbyist Nicky Lum Davies pleaded guilty to secretly working for Jho Low to influence the Department of Justice and the White House over 1MDB, charges against Elliot Broidy could only be a matter of time. The role of the former chairman of the Republican National Committee had already been laid out in excruciating detail in Lum Davies’ own indictment for breaking the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. It was learnt that Broidy had accepted an up-front fee of $8 million (paid by Jho Low through a company owned by rap star Pras Michel) and was demanding a ‘success fee’ of a further staggering $75 million if the case was dropped. The payments were secreted to his wife’s law firm on the pretext of non-existent legal services in Jho Low’s case against asset seizures linked to 1MDB (opening to question her continuing licence to practice as a lawyer). Organising a game of golf between President Trump and Najib was a key target of the conspirators and, as the latest filings from yesterday spell out, this was the occasion where Najib was hoping to talk the President out of the proceedings against 1MDB. Sure enough, the papers were full of the story yesterday, as the gory details of the shameless influence mongering were once again spelt out as the DOJ inevitably made its move against Broidy himself. A suggested guilty plea to avoid the whole affair being battled out in court reminded Broidy that the recommended sentence for his crime is up to five years in jail and a major fine. It is being widely speculated that Broidy will accept the plea in return for a lesser sentence. He will become one of a growing circle of Trump’s close political associates and top Republicans who have been charged and convicted of corruption and indeed of senior figures caught out accepting kickbacks thanks to 1MDB. Sarawak Report first broke the story about Broidy way back in March 2018 after receiving a series of leaked emails and documents from a network known as Global Leaks. Whilst other recipients in the media focussed on documents more related to US concerns, Sarawak Report explored in detail Broidy’s relationship to issues in Malaysia and his greedy bid for further business from Najib. The bribes from Jho Low on behalf of Najib plainly put a whole new light on the Malaysian prime minister’s invitation to the Whitehouse the previous November, which had surprised many given the 1MDB investigation. And, this was not the only business going on with Broidy. The leaked documents showed that the key Republican fundraiser was far advanced on a separate deal with Malaysia for his ‘private security’ firm Circanium, to allegedly provide internet security for Najib’s government. Presented on May 4th 2017 the five year contract was pitched at a whopping US$42.5 million per annum, rising year on year, with a US$25 million up-front payment. That arrangement appears to have collapsed following the failure of Najib’s visit to obtain the desired game of golf with Trump or to end the DOJ investigation on 1MDB. It was a crushing failure for the Malaysian PM who found himself mocked for his grovelling approaches. Broidy had hoped to continue his lucrative relations with Malaysia, moving from lobbying on to ‘security service provision’ The facts having thus been brought out into the open by the media the FBI took up the case in yet another extension of their giant 1MDB investigations. It is not just the Trump administration who have fallen foul of the corruption of 1MDB. Malaysians will remember his predecessor Obama did indeed end up lured into a game of golf (before the scandal was exposed) and, again, it was Sarawak Report who dug up the connections between that event and Obama’s own key fundraiser, the businessman Frank White. Frank White, an office equipment specialist, had received a lucrative solar power contract funded by 1MDB and was in the process of being placed in charge of a massive half billion dollar investment fund (together with none other than the same rap-star Pras Michel) that was linked to the fund and also to its corrupt partnership with Aabar/IPIC from Abu Dhabi. Following the exposure in Sarawak Report this ‘Yucros’ venture was hastily disbanded. However, Sarawak Report had also revealed that White had channelled several thousand dollars to a number of Democrat election campaigns out of the money he had received from 1MDB for the solar power project. The FBI have also conducted investigations into those payments – the solar power plant was never built. Thanks to reporting and thanks to the US forces of law and order all those greedy entities from whichever political persuasion should think more carefully before seeking a share of Malaysia’s stolen money.

Researchers unveil new device that filters, zaps coronavirus

Monday, October 05, 2020 by: Michael Alexander 

(Natural News) Researchers from the University of Houston (UH) have unveiled a new air filter that could help fight the coronavirus pandemic.

As detailed in an article published in the journal Materials Today Physics, the “catch and kill” device successfully killed 99.8 percent of aerosolized SARS-CoV-2 — the Wuhan coronavirus responsible for COVID-19 — in a single pass through its filter.

The device, which was designed by Zhifeng Ren, the director of the Texas Center for Superconductivity at UH and Monzer Hourani, CEO of the Houston-based medical real estate development firm Medistar, also killed 99.9 percent of Bacillus anthracis, the bacterium that causes the deadly anthrax disease.

A filter that can kill the coronavirus by heating it up

According to the researchers involved in its creation, the device can be used in airplanes, offices, schools and cruise ships to help stop the spread of the coronavirus that is still ravaging many countries around the world. (Related: Scientists: Face masks reduce risk of coronavirus infections by 65 percent.)

“Its ability to help control the spread of the virus could be very useful for society,” Ren said.

As mentioned in the study, the researchers designed the device based on several findings regarding the virus, specifically, that it can remain in the air for about three hours but cannot survive temperatures above 70 C, or about 158 F.

Taking these factors into consideration, the researchers designed a device that could not only filter the virus quickly from the air, but also blast it with heat.

To achieve this, Ren suggested using commercially available nickel foam, noting that aside from being porous — which means it allows the flow of air while filtering potentially harmful particles — the material is also an electrical conductor. This means its temperature can be raised without the need for an additional heat source.

The researchers also noted that the device’s prototype, which was built by a local workshop and tested at the UH and the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston laboratories, satisfies the requirements for conventional heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems.

According to Faisal Cheema, one of the study authors, this newly developed technology offers the first-in-line prevention against airborne SARS-CoV-2 transmission. Cheema also believes it will be on the forefront of technologies available to combat the current pandemic and any future airborne biothreats in indoor environments.

Medistar’s Garrett Peel, who helped design the device, agrees, noting that the filter — which he describes as a high-performance COVID-19 killer — could be deployed to “high-priority venues” where essential workers are at high risk of exposure.

“This is safe and effective. We want to roll this out in Texas first and start deploying them in schools, nursing homes. This unit could be deployed in 60 days,” Peel said, adding that the government must create public and private partnerships in order to roll out the product into schools.

“It provides an extra sense of security, knowing that our children and elderly are protected,” Peel added.

Plans are now underway to develop a desktop-sized version of the device that can purify the air in an office worker’s immediate surroundings.

As per the researchers, the filter could be in production as soon as August.
