The Half-Breeds & The Indian Nation

A long time ago, there was a cinema theater in Penang that showed cheap matinee on weekends. The Star theater was located in Dato' Keramat. The ticket cost .20 sen and seats were reserved by rushing in and tying a hanky.

Shows were mostly the chapter type (a precursor of the series ) such as Captain America, Buffalo Bill, Roy Rogers, Randolf Scott, etc. Favorites were the cowboy and Indian movies.

The white immigrants, the settlers and the US cavalry always won. The finale was always the bugler-led US cavalry on full gallop coming to the rescue of the white settlers in their wagon train encycled by the savage half-naked Indians. The Indians in the movies differed only by the tribes involved, Sioux in one and Kiowa, Apache, Comanche, Utes, etc. in the next.

Leading the US Cavalry or the long knives as the Indians called them, were the Indian Scouts who were good at tracking. These scouts were either renegade Indians or half-breeds who have an axe to grind against their tribes.

How we children cheered when the cavalry came to the rescue. The excitement was further enhanced with a thundering soundtrack.

Little did I realise this type of attack (rescue to some) would be played two three centuries later here in Malaysia. We have the half-breeds and renegade Malays scouting for and leading the later-day immigrant cavalry attacking the Malays.

The Red Indians are now living in reservations surviving on blanket and vase sales to tourists.

And the Malays here? Happy to be Mat Rempit and voting in Akademi Fantasia now and their future is almost certain as that of the American Indians.

Ke Bawah DYMM Sultan Azlan Shah - Daulat Tuanku!

Saperti orang biasa lain, mau atau tidak, saya juga di tarik dengan apa yang sedang berlaku di negara tercinta ini sekarang, khususnya peristiwa di Perak.

Saya bukan anak kelahiran Perak. Saya kelahiran Pulau Pinang sama saperti DYMM Raja Permaisuri Perak, Tuanku Bainun. Waktu kecil-kecil dulu pernah bermain-main ke rumah Cik Gu Ali, Allahyarham ayahanda Tuanku Bainun. Ada juga tali kekeluargaan bau-bau bacang.

Satelah berkhidmat selama hampir 30 tahun dengan Kor Jurutera DiRaja sebagai sukarela Rejimen Pakar, ketaatan saya selama hampir separuh hayat saya adalah kepada DYMM Sultan Azlan Sahah selaku Kolonel Yang DiPertua Kor RAJD. Watikah saya di tandatangani oleh Tuanku semasa menjadi Yang DiPertuan Agong ke-9. Ketika bersara dari ATM pada akhir tahun 2001, saya telah menerima Darjah ACM daripada DYMM Tuanku Sultan sendiri.

DYMM Raja Nazrin pula adalah Kolonel Kehormat Rejimen-Rejimen Jurutera Senggara Perhubungan (Pakar).

Daulat Tuanku!

Kong Hee Fatt Choy!

I am from Penang so the greeting to all my Chinese friends is in Hokien. Anyway, to non-Hokiens friends, Gong Xi Fa Cai. I wish you all a very Happy New Year and may you and your family have healthy and prosperous Year of the Ox.

See, I don't need a fatwa to know that I, a Muslim, could greet and wish you on the occassion of your New Year. I know for a fact that for the Chinese, the New Year is a cultural and not a religious festival. Hence, a Chinese not matter what his religion, celebrates this cultural occassion.

I don't see any reason why we need a fatwa for this occassion as done by a blogger who quoted at length various fatwas to justify is greetings. Perhaps he feels a need to write something lenghty for his visitors to show he has done his homework.

President Obama Screwed Up Oath of Office

Well, actually to be fair to Obama it was not him but the Chief Justice who administered the Oath who screwed it up. Those of you who stayed up the night to watch Obama's inauguration might not have noticed anything wrong. One of the reasons most Malaysians missed realising this is because though the Americans have screwed up practically everything since of late, Malaysians still feel that the Americans couldn't do anything wrong. Hollywood have a lot to do with this perception. Hell, even the Americans themselves have an acronym for this type of thing called SNAFU - Situation Normal All Fucked Up.

Anyway, according to reports Obama had to take another oath the next day in the White (Black?) House's basement amid much secrecy attended by only nine people.

Might this be a premonition of things to come?

By Words and Deeds

I am not going into details of the Nazi Israel's contemptible behavior in its latest attempt of genocide against the Palestinians namely the Gazans. These are amply reported in the mainstream media and more in the alternative media, the internet.

Whilst the Muslim leaders merely huff and puff, two non-Muslim leaders showed they could do more. President Hugo Chavez of Venezuela and President Evo Morales of Bolivia broke off diplomatic relations with Nazi Israel and threatened the US of similar action.

At home we see our Government leaders recently bidding welcome to two of the quisling Arab Government representatives that of Egypt and Saudi Arabia and not a single protest by even the oppositions against these two delegations. Talk about complicity.

But fortunately at home we have Tun Mahathir continues speaking his mind and his former Private Secretary Matthias Chang. Matthias latest piece at his website FutureFastForward should put most of our Muslim brothers to shame. His piece at http://futurefastforward.com/feature-articles/917 is a must read.

Another 9-11 Soon?

USA needs nuclear explosion to turn the world into dictatorship

23.12.2008 Source: Pravda.Ru URL: http://english.pravda.ru/world/americas/106864 usa_change-0

Is the United States going to put dictatorship into effect under the guise of the anti-terrorist struggle? What may trigger another major transformation in 2009? The answer is obvious: another 9/11 in the USA.

Terrible and bloody events are in store for the world in the beginning of 2009. Most likely, the world will witness a reality show with a nuclear blast, which will be used as a reason for the US administration to change the world order again and leave the new Great Depression behind. There is every reason to believe that the Russian Federation may suffer as a result of this possible initiative too.

Joe Biden made a sensational statement on October 19, 2008. He said that Barack Obama would have to undergo an ordeal during the first six months of his stay in the White House. It will be the time of a very serious international crisis, when Obama would have to make tough and possibly unpopular decisions both in home and foreign politics.

Biden said that there were four or five scenarios for the development of the international crisis. Afghanistan, North Korea or the Russian Federation may become the source of one of them.

When Obama learned of Biden’s speech, he tried to explain everything with rhetorical exaggerations. However, Biden’s remarks gave food for thought, taking into consideration the fact that former secretary of state Madeleine Albright described his remarks as statement of fact.

Apparently, the political elite in the United States is certain that their nation would soon suffer another mammoth terrorist act. This assumption became the subject of Michel Chossudovsky’s article “A Second 9/11„: An Integral Part of US Military Doctrine.”

The independent analysts presented a selection of statements, which US top officials released during the recent several years. For example, Michael Chertoff, the Homeland Security Secretary, said at Yale April 7, 2008 that modern technologies let even a small terrorist group kill hundreds of thousands of people. Dick Cheney stated May 26, 2008: “Nobody can guarantee that we won’t be hit again.”

The general public has been prepared for a possible mega terrorist act with hundreds of thousands of victims. The expectation of another major terrorist attack, Chossudovsky wrote, became a part of the US military doctrine to justify possible preemptive strikes, i.e. aggression. The analyst also wrote that the US administration was aiming the efforts of the national security services at the liquidation of the consequences of the Massive Casualty Producing Event. Moreover, the US establishment believes that such an event may unite the Americans. Tommy Franks, the then CENTCOM commander voiced this idea in 2003. He particularly said that another event with many casualties in the USA would revive the support of wartime laws. Franks also said that such an event would mark the end of democracy in America. To put it in a nutshell, it would mark the beginning of the era of dictatorship.

The US administration planned Operation Northwoods in 1962, in which the US incursion into Cuba was supposed to be justified with a massive massacre of the Miami-based Cubans, as well as the explosion of a US warship in Guantanamo Bay. President Kennedy did not let the operation become a reality. The logic of Northwoods does not differ much from that of General Franks - a new mega terrorist act will justify the beginning of USA’s new aggression in the Middle East.

The Pentagon started to develop the plan of the new war in April 2006 – the third war after the campaigns in Iraq and Afghanistan. Stew Bykovsky, a well-known columnist, said in his interview in August 2007 that America needed another 9/11 because the country had forgotten who its enemy was.

Which weapon would make it possible to conduct a major terrorist attack with countless casualties and produce the effect of universal panic? A nuclear weapon would suit this goal best. It would not be a hardship to say that a nuclear explosion was conducted by Islamic terrorists who stole nukes from Russia in the beginning of the 1990s. A nuclear mushroom grows somewhere in the USA and the country launches another war and introduces dictatorship.

Olmert Brags About Embarrassing Rice at Gaza UN Vote.

Israeli Prime Minister Demanded Bush Halt Lecture to Stop Gaza Truce Vote

Posted January 12, 2009

Taking a short break from lashing out at the international media for reporting the growing civilian death toll in the Gaza Strip, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert spoke in detail about the events leading up to the US abstention from the United Nations Security Council’s vote on the Gaza Strip ceasefire.

“Early Friday morning the secretary of state was considering bringing the cease-fire resolution to a UNSC vote and we didn’t want her to vote for it.” Olmert said. “I said ‘get President Bush on the phone.’ They tried and told me he was in the middle of a lecture in Philadelphia. I said ‘I’m not interested, I need to speak to him now.’ He got down from the podium, went out and took the phone call.”

A beaming Olmert then described telling President Bush “the US cannot possibly vote in favor of this resolution,” and spoke with pride of how embarrassed US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice was at having to abstain from voting for a resolution she helped to organize and gather support for.

The US abstention shocked diplomats, and made it easier for Israel to dismiss the ceasefire out of hand. At the time of the vote Rice declared that the United States supported the draft but could not vote for it because of their “special relationship” with Israel. Just days later Rice too was lashing out at the resolution as “unacceptable.”
