Another assault on our fragile ecosystem!

Early on the morning of 4 September, the residents of Kampong Pertak, Ulu Selangor, were treated to the ominous sound of heavy equipment arriving in the village. A tractor-dozer and excavator had been sent up to begin widening the old logging trail that leads to Bukit Kutu and beyond.

What was this all about? I questioned the excavator operator and he asked me to have a word with Mr Tan, the contractor, who responded vaguely that they had been instructed to "upgrade" the logging trail by the member of parliament for Kuala Kubu Bharu, YB Wong Koon Mun from the MCA.

That was a bit of a surprise. In all the years I've been residing in these parts I've never known the MCA to take any interest in the Orang Asli. I felt sure there was more to this project than merely "improving" the logging trail for the benefit of the villagers.

About six months ago I recall bumping into an overweight Orang Asli named Rapi from Kg Tun Abdul Razak who seemed to be waiting for someone to show up. We chatted a bit and he mentioned something about a plan to tar the logging trail for easier access to the deep jungle. I told him it was the worst idea I had heard in a long time.

He asked me what prompted me to say that and I explained that a tarred road running through the jungle would lead to increased vehicular traffic... and inevitably the destruction of the natural beauty and tranquility of this popular recreational spot. Busloads of daytrippers will start coming up and leaving behind tons of garbage. Soon there will be greedy developers eyeing the prospects of creating luxury resorts and perhaps even a theme park like Mimaland! No way, I said emphatically. Rapi just shrugged.


I subsequently discovered that Rapi was an Umno member and had set himself up as some sort of spokesman for the Temuan community in Selangor. I shuddered at the thought. Yup, that's all the Orang Asli need: some sleazy Umno opportunist representing their interests!

Putting two and two together, it appeared that this encroachment could be yet another attempted rape on the ecosystem by the Barisan Nasional, just about the least environmentally friendly political party you will find anywhere.

I contacted Elizabeth Wong, Selangor state government exco member in charge of the tourism, consumer affairs and the environment, and she called me back shortly to say she had spoken with the District Officer and the Forestry Department and nobody knew anything about a "road upgrading" project in Pertak. She suggested I lodge a police report at once.

Now you'd probably understand my aversion to lodging police reports. Every time I've had to do something like that it takes up to two hours just to go through the bureaucratic rigmarole. Invariably, little action, if any, is taken - unless, of course, it involves honest citizens lighting candles in public places or parading in black clothes, in which event the police are likely to spring into swift response mode with teargas, water cannons and mass arrests.

As luck would have it, the very next morning some well-connected CEO-type nature-loving friends showed up who were incensed when informed of the presence of earthmoving machinery in the jungle. They reported this encroachment to the Splash office at the Selangor Dam and got to speak with the manager by phone. The man assured my friends he would despatch his men to investigate.

As it so happens, my ecowarrior friends are particularly fond of rivers and the great outdoors. They wasted no time walking up the trail to confront the workers, who had managed to make a hideous mess within the space of a few hours, scraping raw the already unstable embankment and leaving piles of loose earth on the steep slope facing the river.

This is the rainy season. In a matter of days the earth will pollute the normally crystalline waters - and within months, if not weeks, landslides may occur as the heavy machinery will put tremendous pressure on the highly erosive soil.

As my friends rightly pointed out, the contractor hadn't even bothered putting up a sign identifying the project. However, Mr Tan had done the necessary and given the headman a handsome bribe to secure his assent. To his credit, he amicably agreed to stop work and ordered the the withdrawal of the earthmoving equipment. I'm certain he has reported our objection to his employer, YB Wong (I mean Koon Mun, not Eli) - who will, in turn, complain to his Umno bosses that those goddam "militant tree-huggers" are interfering with "progress and development" and need to be investigated.

I'm half expecting a visit from the Special Twig any moment now. Indeed, they might even assign an entire Branch to this case.

Down the slimy slippery slope we go...

Musa Hassan stays on as IGP (!!!???!!!)

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 3 — The Home Ministry has renewed Tan Sri Musa Hassan’s contract as the Inspector-General of Police for one more year until September 2010, despite the opposition’s claims that he is biased and has not brought down the national crime index.

The 38-year veteran police officer currently has a two-year contract that expires September 13. The Police Force Commission had recommended the one year extension for the 57-year-old law graduate in July, The Malaysian Insider reported on July 13.

He came to national prominence 11 years ago when investigating sacked deputy prime minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s corruption and sodomy cases. Anwar, who is now opposition leader, has accused him of fabricating evidence.

Anwar’s Pakatan Rakyat has also blamed Musa for not fighting crime but instead pandering to the ruling Barisan Nasional government by harassing and detaining activists, opposition leaders and supporters.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak last week ordered Musa to take action against a group of protesters who dragged along a severed cow-head in a dispute over a relocated Hindu temple in Shah Alam.

Witnesses said the riot police on duty did not take action while opposition politicians complained of double-standards by the police, citing the heavy action against activists wearing black, holding candle-light vigils and Pakatan assemblymen trying to have state assembly meetings in Ipoh.

Musa joined the police service as an inspector on Nov 11, 1969. Since then, he has held several important posts including as Malacca prosecuting officer in 1973, Bukit Aman Narcotics Division director in 1981 and Kuala Kubu Baru Police College lecturer in 1986.

He held the post of Bukit Aman prosecution/criminal law deputy assistant director in 1995 and was Johor chief police officer in 2003. In 2004, he was appointed Criminal Investigation Department director before being made Deputy Inspector-General of Police a year later.

Musa succeeded Tan Sri Mohamed Bakri Omar as the Inspector-General in September 2006 despite allegations of corruption.

In July 2007, Attorney-General Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail ordered the then Anti-Corruption Agency (ACA) to close their investigations that linked Musa to the release of three members of illegal betting syndicates.

He was then given a two-year extension in September 2007 when he reached retirement age.

Veteran Umno leader Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah had also weighed in on the proposed extension a month ago, criticising the routine extension of service for top civil servants which he said creates cults of personality and promotes a cosy relationship between senior officers and their political masters.

And now the Wicked Queen is snugly ensconced in her Palace of Iniquity.
Her loyal minions, the Chief of the Uruk-hai and his Trained Goblins,
are ready to paint the town red...

HAPPY HALLOWEEN, FOLKS!

STATUTORY DECLARATION FROM A FORMER ADC TO MUSA HASSAN

DRUG COMPANIES MAKE YOU SICK

An internal French government document that outlines detailed plans and orders for the forced vaccination of the French population using secure “vaccine” facilities and starting from September 28th has emerged.

The document dated August 21st and signed by the French Health Minister Rosaylne Batchelot-Narquin and the French Minister of Interior, Minister of the Interior, Overseas Territories Brice Hortefeux is addressed to the heads of each of France’s defense zones. the regional prefects in charge of police and the gendamerie, the prefects of departments and the heads of regional health authorities for hospitalization.

The objective of the 19-page document is the systematic vaccination of the entire French population in the period October, November, December 2009 and January 2010.

Secure facilities are to be established in every region that will serve as “vaccination centers.”

On page 3 the order is explicitly given that no medical establishments should serve as vaccine centers.

GPs are to play no role in the vaccination programme.

School age children are to be vaccinated by special mobile pandemic vaccination teams in their schools.

The largest vaccination facilities – Centers of Vaccination of a Large Capacity (Centres de vaccination de grande capacite (CVGC) – with added security (fonctionnement renforce) are calculated to vaccinate 2,100 people each day.

Vaccine “teams” are to work in parallel vaccinating people in three 4-hour blocs each day, and the document calculates that two teams operating in this way will allow 184,800 injections to be given to 92,400 people in a center working five days a week for the entire four month period of the mass vaccination campaign.

No explicit mention of forced vaccination is made but the document states that everyone in the country without exception is to be vaccinated. Data from the health insurance bodies are to be used to ensure that everyone receives the toxic "swine flu" jab.

Babies from six months are to be given the vaccines, which contain ingredients such as the adjuvant squalene and also in a dose more than 60,000 times higher than the amount of squalene that caused the Gulf War Syndrome in US and UK soldiers.

The use of squalene is illegal in the USA and UK but is expected to be allowed there too under an emergency pandemic decree.


The French government has bought 94 million doses of “swine flu” vaccine from Baxter, GSK, Novartis and Sanofi to carry out the forced vaccination programme.

The GSK and Novartis vaccines are classified as bioweapons by US and EU regulators and contain the dangerous squalene.

Baxter was found deliberately contaminating vaccine material with the live bird flu virus in Austria this February in order to start a global pandemic. WHO supplied the live bird flu virus, according to Baxter’s own spokesperson.

Baxter, Novartis and GSK executives sit on a key vaccine advisory board of WHO which recommended forced mass vaccinations in July, which are expected to bring in profits as high as 50 billion USD for vaccine companies.


Following WHO’s declaration of a pandemic level 6 emergency on June 11th, the world has moved under military law under WHO’s International Health Regulations 2005 incorporated in member state’s pandemic plans.

WHO, the UN, Baxter and other pharmaceutical companies are all linked with the Rockefeller and Rothschild and other family dynasties, who stand to make political and financial gains from the global forced vaccination programme under WHO.

WHO memos dating from 1972, discovered by Patrick Jordan, explain how to use vaccines to kill people by weakening their immune system, loading their bodies with viruses and creating a massive inflammatory reaction.

The August 21st document issued by the French government appears to be a chilling plan to initiate the mass murder of the French population by means of toxic vaccines under the cover of offering protection against a pandemic in just four weeks time.

Similar documents are believed to be circulating in all 194 member states of the WHO.

It is addressed to high-ranking government officials who are ordered to prepare to supervise and coordinate the implementation of the forced vaccination programme in their regions, and to submit appropriate plans by the middle of September.

UP TO 60% OF UK DOCTORS REFUSE SWINE FLU VACCINE! (THE GUARDIAN)

Nothing scares people like a deadly pandemic of global proportions. Fear is a time-tested tool of mass control. When people are afraid, very afraid, they will obey just about any order if it could possibly save their lives.

Enter the World Health Organization and its panel of unsmiling but distinguished looking experts - many of whom happen to be shareholders in giant pharmaceutical companies.

Since the WHO is affiliated with the UN, people tend to unquestioningly accept its credentials. Doctors have enjoyed a long tradition of being respected by society, dating back to the days when witch doctors were revered or feared by everyone in the tribe.

Who could possibly believe that certain renegade factions within the World Health Organization have been actively engaged for decades in a cold-blooded population culling project endorsed by a handful of scientists and no less distinguished a personage than the Duke of Edinburgh himself.

It wasn't - and still isn't - easy for me to accept the fact that the uppermost strata of hereditary plutocrats remain stuck in a 19th century Malthusian mindset of scarcity geopolitics - quite conveniently forgetting that any condition of scarcity was actually created by their own ancestors' anthropocentric arrogance, avarice and hubris.

Lack, after all, is only the shadow side of greed.

There are those who believe that the morally ambiguous notion of population culling - let's call it genocide - actually began as far back in time as before the Great Deluge, when the Anunnaki gods walked upon and directly managed the earth. Unhappy with the genetic "abominations" that proliferated with Anunnaki-Adamic hybridization, Enlil the Sky God (prototype of the wrathful demiurge Yahweh) decreed that the Adamic race (that's us, Homo sapiens sapiens) be allowed to perish. It is from these little known wannabe gods that we have inherited our lethal legacy of warlordism.

However, what's known to most of us is that the rich and powerful ruling elites have invested heavily in top secret weapons of mass destruction - from neutron bombs and microwave missiles to climatological and biological warfare. Protected by "national security" ordinances, what goes on in these mysterious research facilities is never reported in the mainstream media and therefore rarely a topic of polite conversation.

Religious zealots would have us believe that sexually transmitted diseases like AIDS is a clear sign that God frowns on human promiscuity. But I have always been convinced that the HIV virus either escaped from a secret biowarfare lab - or was deliberately inserted into the human disease spectrum by secret government factions aligned with the population culling project.

In any case, you can be sure the antidote to AIDS already exists. Indeed, watered down forms of it are already being hawked at cutthroat prices by a few pharmaceutical companies.

What can any of us do in the face of such unmitigated evil?

First of all and most importantly... DON'T PANIC!

Fear is entirely counterproductive as a survival strategy in almost every instance. Fear enfeebles us and clouds our senses, rendering us utterly helpless before real and imaginary threats.

Looking at health issues from a holistic perspective, we realize that holding on to negative emotions is a sure way to weaken our immune systems and open the doors to a plethora of diseases.

So, rather than react in abject terror and succumb to the New World Order agenda of mass compulsory vaccination, what each of us can and must do is to liberate ourselves from the toxic influence of the mass media. Laboratory-created viruses like the H1N1 are spread at near lightspeed by CNN, Fox News, and the BBC as programmed fear. Our imagination is a powerful holographic projector that can manifest subconscious thoughtforms surreptitiously injected into us along with the daily news.

Anxiety alone is enough to suppress our immune systems - and that's why this is such a good time to remove your nose from that grindstone and smell the roses. Do a bit of meditation, reconnect with your inner being and the source of pure joy.

Reinforce your natural immunity by drinking lots of water and breathing in lungsful of fresh air whenever possible (big cities are disease incubators, get out to the countryside at every opportunity). Vitamins C and E and minerals like selenium boost your immune system... and they won't harm you!

Maintain a cheerful disposition and laugh as often as you can. Just think: each one of us who succeeds in doing so is unsubscribing from the victim consciousness that pharmaceutical companies feed vampire-like upon.

Good health and even better humor to you!


15Malaysia: 'ONE FUTURE' by Tan Chui Mui



This stark film by Tan Chui Mui starring Tian Chua and Ida Nerina is my personal favorite of this week's crop of short features presented by the exciting 15Malaysia project. In exactly 4 minutes and 44 seconds, Tan Chui Mui successfully conjures a hyperrealist nightmare vision of a conformist dystopia.

Tian Chua is absolutely convincing as The Man, while Ida Nerina is provocatively enigmatic as The Agent. Pete Teo's narration is crisp and tight and crucial to the dramatic flow.
