Choose your fucking side of the barricade.

It's been ages since I last blogged and I think I can no longer keep silent. It's the era of online information and I (alongside many others) think that governments should stop persecuting whistle blowers on "legal grounds" of sedition or seditious content.

It is high time we acknowledge that there will be a revolution among the people and it won't be small.

Our time has come and our voices have to echo in unison. We cannot keep silent against the evils and the continuous shit (if I may) that all our governments have spewed at us. We can see through the evils of the puppeteers and the marionettes should be exposed so as to topple the ones at the top of the art. It is an art if you may. A fucking fine one.

It is high time, people. It is high time we all stop being so ignorant, so superficial and shallow. Enough of so-called "reality tv". You want reality?? Take a fucking look outside your windows.

Choose your fucking side of the barricade.

Morbid thoughts.

She ran to her closet of nothingness,

Dug in to look for a mask.

The closet she found, was a pool of fess,

Full of questions she had to ask.

So numb and weary,

Desolate and in despair.

So beholden and wary,

With death lingering in the air.

Why won't the demons go away,

She just wanted a taste of Eden.

She thought in dismay,

Thinking of the beholden garden.

Death seemed like her oldest friend,

Always knocking on her door.

Was it bound to be the end,

The long walk on the moor.

The gods of her forefathers, 

They had forsaken her.

She cried out in wretchedness,

As she watched their lore.

They mocked her, tore her,

Till she fled from the cosmos;

Where she found her backdoor,

And vanished into the great abyss.

Progeria.

Hello from me, it's been awhile :)

Progeria or also known as Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome is a genetic disorder or condition that is typically characterized by the dramatic and rapid appearance of significant aging that starts during the patients’ early childhood. Children with progeria grow more slowly than other children their age normally would and do not gain much weight at the normal rate which is one of the signs of failure to thrive although children with progeria usually look normal when they are born and also, during early stages of infancy.

            The prominent signs in progeria can be seen from their features; protruding ears that may look like that of pixies; they have small chins, thin noses that resemble birds’ beaks, thin lips, and very prominent eyes. This genetic disorder also causes aged-looking skin, baldness due to hair loss or in scientific terms, alopecia, a loss of fat and adipose tissues under their skin (subcutaneous fat) and also, joint abnormalities. The development of motor movement or skills of children affected with this genetic disorder are however, not affected as they are able to stand, walk, sit and do things on a daily basis well. Progeria also does not interfere with children’s intellectual development and children with progeria are known to have bright and cheerful personalities and sharp minds.

            Progeria is derived from ‘geras’ which means old age in Greek. It is assumed to typically affect one in four million newborns around the world. As progeria is extremely rare, not much has been hear about it before and society is usually not aware that this genetic disease or genetic disorder even exists. Doctor Jonathan Hutchinson first described and logged down this disease in the year 1886 and then in the year 1904, Doctor Hastings Gilford also did the same. The disease is named after the two of them as they were the ones who first mentioned about it and left an impact in the medical society. Coming back to the signs of progeria; within the short period of a year, children with progeria have slower growth rates and soon become shorter than most children their age.

Children with progeria are also known to be sufferers of symptoms old people usually suffer from which include hips dislocations, severe progressive cardiovascular diseases and also stiffness in their joints. Thankfully, children that have progeria are not known to have osteoporosis or cataracts which are symptoms atypical of that of an old person. In attempts to help with the life threatening cardiovascular complications that are caused by progressive atherosclerosis, some children affected with progeria have to undergo coronary artery bypass surgery and/or angioplasty. Death comes morbidly early for progeria sufferers as most die at an average of 13 years normally from strokes or heart attacks.

What are the causes of progeria? NHGRI researchers combined their knowledge with researchers at the Progeria Research Foundation in the New York State Institute for Basic Research in Developmental Disabilities and also, with the University of Michigan in 2003 and thus, discovered that progeria is caused by a minute point mutation in a singular gene called the lamin A or LMNA. The genetic mutation appears in nearly all the cases to occur in sperm right before conception. The substitution of only one base pair among the estimated 25 000 DNA base pairs that form the LMNA gene is found to arise in almost all the cases of recorded progeria sufferers and is amazing. This gene codes for two proteins which are the lamin A and the lamin C; both which are known to play significant parts in stabilizing the inner membrane of the cell nucleus. Researchers found that the mutation responsible for progeria causes the LMNA gene to create an abnormal kind of the lamin A proteins; in laboratory tests involving cells extracted from progeria patients. That single abnormal protein may destabilize the cell’s nuclear membrane that might be injurious to the tissues that are subjected to aggressive physical force on a routine basis like the cardiovascular and musculoskeletal systems.

However, at least half a dozen other genetic disorders which include two not so common forms of muscular dystrophy have been shown to share the same common mutations in the LMNA gene. Most scientists that are involved in aging in the genetics department usually use the research on the underlying genetics of the progeria prototype in order to discover how the aging process works. Sufferers of Hutchinson-Gilford progeria have a very severe hardening of the arteries or rather severe arteriosclerosis that starts right from childhood. The condition increases terribly, the probabilities of experiencing heart attacks or even strokes at very young ages. These conditions may become life-threatening for certain individuals with this type of syndrome.

Progeria thankfully is very rare and only 1 in 4 million newborns worldwide have been known to suffer from it. Only slightly over 130 cases have been reported and recorded in scientific journals since the first time the genetic disorder was first described in 1886. People with progeria inherit this disorder by one copy of the altered gene in each cell which is small enough to cause the disorder. If a person wants to know if he/she has Hutchinson-Gilford progeria, they have to be diagnosed since before the age of one as progeria is a significantly noticeable disorder and children with progeria do not develop normally and have an average lifespan of only 13 years old, sadly.

How should society deal with these disorders? According to Ashley Hegi (deceased); the society should not judge people who suffer from progeria and they should not stare as people with progeria are no different from others, except that they have very aged looks for their age and bald heads. Societies should also be more aware of this genetic disorder although it is rare for their knowledge so they would know how to handle it and also how to treat a person with progeria. As people with progeria do not have lower intellects than a normal human being, they like to be talked to normally and lead normal lives although sometimes it may be painful to do so. They need a lot of positivity in their lives to encourage them to continue going on despite their disorder and all of its setbacks. As progeria sufferers are known for their bright and sunny dispositions, the people around them should be supportive too and their families should be trained and well learned on how to handle them with care and how to provide good and stable emotional support for them.

What should researchers and society do to help progeria sufferers? They should continue researching for cures for this disorder as little to no drugs can help with this disorder especially that it is such a rare genetic condition. Research should be done on the LMNA gene and also on the protein Lamin A as these two might be clues as to how the aging process happens so rapidly in progeria sufferers. Geneticists should pay more attention to this particular disorder as aforementioned; might be a key to the aging process and all its setbacks including links to cardiovascular diseases and so on. Progeria albeit rare should not be overlooked. 



-The nocturnal one-

Why I support halal/kosher slaughter as an animal activist.

First things first, let me get some things straight. I am not a Muslim, neither am I a Jew. But I do support kosher/halal slaughter instead of normal inhumane ways.

Denmark has just issued a ban on the methods of kosher/halal slaughter. So, killing a perfectly healthy baby giraffe (Marius) in public is permissible but a perfectly healthy method of slaughtering animals isn't. Look at the bigotry oozing out there. I can feel it seeping out of their pores.


http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/denmark-bans-halal-and-kosher-slaughter-as-minister-says-animal-rights-come-before-religion-9135580.html

Despite resistance from RSPCA (a respectable animal welfare organisation) and many other groups, the ban has been called for. It really is anti-Semitic isn't it; anti-Muslim as well. Where is the freedom of speech, and religion that Europe boasts about so much?? So they only allow freedom AS LONG as it means religion is NOT involved?? There is no extremism/barbarism here, really. Only from the side of the ministers who have been involved in the banning of the production of these kinds of meat (kosher/halal).

Now, to be unbiased so as not rock the same boat as these idiots, I will show you the kosher/halal methods of slaughter and then the normal way of slaughter.

The Halal method

With the halal method of slaughter, there was not change in the EEG graph for the first three seconds after the incision was made, indicating that the animal did not feel any pain from the cut itself. This is not surprising. Often, if we cut ourselves with a sharp implement, we do not notice until some time later. The following three seconds were characterised by a condition of deep sleep-like unconciousness brought about by the draining of large quantities of blood from the body.  Thereafter the EEG recorded a zero reading, indicating no pain at all, yet at that time the heart was still beating and the body convulsing vigorously as a reflex reaction of the spinal cord. It is this phase which is most unpleasant to onlookers who are falsely convinced that the animal suffers whilst its brain does actually no longer record any sensual messages.

The Western method

Using the Western method, the animals were apparently unconscious after stunning, and this method of dispatch would appear to be much more peaceful for the onlooker. However, the EEG readings indicated severe pain immediately after stunning. Whereas in the first example, the animal ceases to feel pain due to the brain starvation of blood and oxygen – a brain death, to put it in laymen’s terms – the second example first causes a stoppage of the heart whilst the animal still feels pain. However, there are no unsightly convulsions, which not only means that there is more blood retention in the meat, but also that this method lends itself much more conveniently to the efficiency demands of modern mass slaughter procedures. It is so much easier to dispatch an animal on the conveyor belt, if it does not move.

-http://www.mustaqim.co.uk/halal.htm-

And then, from The Guardian itself.

• A friend did a documentary on slaughterhouses in the early 90's. He saw cows on an electric grid recieve a jolt. Workers then went through with hammers to bash in the skulls of those not dead. He instantly became a vegetarian. Kosher methods were created with the best interests of the animals in mind. (Taking as a given that man's status at the top of the food chain does not impart the right to cause extra suffering.) The knife must be free of nicks so that the blade moves as fast and cleanly as possible. There may be more humane ways to kill a cow or chicken, but I doubt they are cost effective from a mass-production standpoint. Kosher meat is double or triple the price of non-kosher. Perhaps you could find a rancher who would be willing to let you kill a cow as gently as possible (wait til it's asleep? or give a gentle sedative?). But from a practical standpoint, an animal slaughtered kosher is likely to have suffered less than the non-kosher one.

• I can't speak for Halal slaughter, but I do know about Kosher slaughter of animals. The "Shochet" - slaughterer - uses a special knife which has to be incredibly sharp and completely smooth (any nicks in the blade might tear the animal's flesh on the way down and cause pain). The knife should be able to cut smoothly and cleanly through the neck. The cut is made in a specific place in the neck, and although death isn't instantaneous (no method of slaughter is), the animal loses consciousness immediately due to the sudden drop of blood pressure in the head. Complete death results shortly after. As a comparison, let's look at some other methods of slaughter which are used. The "Captive Bolt Gun". Imagine a normal gun, but the bullet has a string attached to it so it flies out of the barrel, but can be reset and re-loaded again leaving nothing behind. Now take an animal, press this up against its skull and fire. Bolt goes into skull and pulled out again. Requires 4-5 shots normally to cause complete death, during which animal is in agony. Electrocution. Let's compare this with human executions in the electric chair. There have been cases where people being killed in the chair have caught fire and had smoke coming from their heads while still showing signs of life. Witnesses have been sick from the stench of burning flesh. Some researchers have said that being killed by electrocution would kill you by oxygen starvation (you couldn't breathe due to paralysis from the electricity), while at the same time being burnt alive. So much for a painless death! As long as people wish to eat animals (don't get me wrong, I'm a steak lover), we have to kill them first. And I truly believe that "Shechitah" - the method of slaughter for Kosher food - is the least painful for the animal concerned.

-David Dreaming Bear, Horesethief Canyon, California USA-

• 
  

• Studies have been conducted in which monitors were placed on the brain of a cow being slaughtered using shechitah (kosher slaughter) and it turns out that it is actually 100% painless. another interesting note is that 2500 years ago, when the rules of kosher were made, it was said that the animal must have split hooves and chew it's cud. interestingly, now 2500 years later we know a great deal of biology and it turns out that the only species of animals that have split hooves and chew their cud, also just happen to have a certain artery that goes directly to their brain, as opposed to their heart as in all other animals (including humans). when this vein is cut it will be a painless death, because the animal will be instantly unconscious, whereas if you tried to slaughter any other animal in this method it would cause a lot of suffering. so, to answer that question "would YOU like to be shot in the head or have your throat cut?" well, i being human would prefer a shot in the head for the least painless death, but if i was a cow, or any other animal with split hooves and a cud, i'd be all for the throat slitting for the painless death. also, to clear up the misconception about the animal still being alive while bleeding to death with shechitah - this is true that the animal may still be living, but with the brain entirely unconscious it still does not experience any of the pain of death. the food industry will do whatever necessary to reduce cost, but if you truly care about the well being of living things, buy kosher.

• Arguing over which methods of killing are more humane seems a bit pointless since the only ones who could tell you are dead.

I'll let these points speak for me. I'm not alone. Many other rational activists believe that kosher/halal meat is better than normally-slaughtered meat. For Denmark to have banned the more humane ways of slaughtering animals without further research shows how "shallow" the people there are (those who called for the ban). Also, Britain should really do more in-depth research regarding this topic instead of being all dumb about it and banning it because of what some irrational activist groups are saying. 

I agree that there are certain kosher/halal slaughterhouses that do not use proper equipment. Shut them down instead of banning them in whole. There is no point in making a huge controversy out of this. I understand that we all want these animals to die in the least painful ways possible. Therefore, research should be done first using scientific methods (EEGs etc.) before causing ruckuses about it.

Popple the Wriggles and I :)

Desperation and Anwar.

All our news feeds have been littered with Teresa Kok's funny video and then, not long after, news of it being slanderous. 

It's strange isn't it, how our country's leaders find fault in such minute details like a video that was meant to be purely satirical and not just realize the motives behind stuff like that??

Firstly, Malaysians need to get a funny bone. Secondly, to attack one's person is a great fallacy, dear UMNO cronies. If you want to attack Teresa Kok for her video, do so but with a little more dignity please. It's an ad hominem to start attacking her for her name.

I have been so appalled by the state of the country that blogging seemed like a hugely, strangely, overwhelming task. They want to condemn Teresa for her satirical video which actually rang with truth but they allow the state of the country to worsen. They keep thinking that us Malaysians are stupid enough to have wool pulled over our eyes time and time again.

The police are now asked to investigate the "Onederful Malaysia" video. The police are so free to conduct such investigations and lose track of what they really are supposed to do; protecting citizens and ensuring peace in the country. My bag got snatched from me in 2012 and until today, NOTHING can be recovered and the snatch thieves weren't caught. It was such a traumatic experience and I wouldn't even wish it upon the people I despise the most. Why can't the police deal with issues like these?? Why can't they deal with issues like abuse and more important things?? When people report abuse, it's automatically domestic and has to go to a different office altogether. 

Some Malays of this country also have to stop being so butthurt and claiming that every single tom, dick (ooh I said a bad word, immolate me, right??) and harry are out to get them and their religion. They'd rather vote for people like Felixia Yeap and her wrapped up self because she is "oh so sweet" and vixen-like. And UMNO, you don't represent all the Malays in Malaysia because most of them are extremely intelligent and see past your nonsensical acts.

Another thing I'd like to mention is 'Anwar'. Look, we're not stupid alright?? We know HE was the one who truly started playing racial politics all those years ago. But fuck us right?? We have no leader now  and are desperate for a change. It's not like we can find anyone better anyway. We're in such desperation that anyone proposing a change for the betterment of Malaysia would do. I mean, if anyone proposes such huge changes for the country, of course, we'd jump at the idea of it immediately. We used to be a picky lot. Badawi was too cowardly and calm. Mahathir was too tyrannical. But now that we've seen THE ultimate WORST, I guess all we can do is hope for a better one. It's no longer a war of who's going to make a better prime minister. It's more like a war of survival for us other than the Bumiputeras in Malaysia, thanks to the cronyism of the current government who BLATANTLY promote racial politics and play it down to the core. 

If you're planning a Malaysian genocide, consider it done. Just DO NOT complain about a brain drain after that and all the other things you complain about. If we're that bad a bunch as non-Bumis, we'd rather take off than listen to you telling us how bad we are and how we're "stealing your economy" and shit like that.

Enough IS enough.

Of trashy articles and women.

Just another picture of Heyli and I on Halloween!!

I'm going to rant a lot in this post, so if you don't enjoy rants, it's best you leave now. 

I came across this shamefully, unbelievably trashy article on the the "Elite Daily" site and I was appalled at the brashness of the woman who wrote it. I have nothing against other people's differing moral values; I'm no moral police after all BUT when you use YOUR words as a representation of something in whole, and you actually are writing about a general demographic population, it is most certainly not right. This woman who goes by the pseudonym of JLin or 'Trophy Wife' thinks she represents the women of Y-generation.

I want to strongly oppose that. I think she thinks of herself as a feminist, fighting for equal rights, a unicorn and also a woman who is "bold" enough to speak out what other women are ashamed off.

Firstly, Trophy Wife, you are NOT a unicorn. Unicorn women I think do not sleep with their dates on the first date. What on earth are you advocating for???? Equal rights between the sexes??

If she TRULY is fighting for equal rights, WHY on earth does she want to be a trophy wife who is focused on marrying a rich man just so she does not have to work?? WOW. It's no wonder men don't respect us as women sometimes. Women like her just seriously tarnish our gender.

I know I may be over-berating but I got SO ANNOYED at her articles and I don't understand how someone like her can be published. I am in NO way jealous of her success or anything of that sort. But she claims to write what women think but do not have the "balls to say", apparently. Below is her little sachet of words underneath her published articles.

"Trophy Wife/Professional Drinker. Attempting to stay out of work as long as I can by spending other people’s money and helping to keep Grey Goose in business. I focus on sex, dating, and how to marry a very rich man. I write what you're thinking but don’t have the balls to say."

And below is the article of hers that I came across that unleashed some Krakken in me.

http://elitedaily.com/dating/sex/why-you-should-always-have-sex-on-a-first-date/

Not all women are that shallow. Men through her eyes are assessed through their wallet sizes, the size of their genitalia, and how good their sex is. 

Her greatest achievements are the countless number of sexual partners through her apparent motto in life, "Assess a man on the first date, have sex with him to see if he's worth investing in or not". 

"You sucked his dick last week. He can at least pay for dinner."

Shows how much self worth this woman has. And she really thinks that the rest of us womankind are just too meek about whatever it is she thinks we lack.

She cannot call herself a rare woman; neither can she call herself a great writer/unicorn.

Just utterly appalled. 

-Disgusted feminist- 

The COP problem. (Malaysia)

Before I start my long rant, meet Sheeva. She'll make you smile. She's my baby iguana. Named after the Mortal Kombat character.

What our Malaysian police really are, are bullies. Big fat PB and J doughnut-eating ones. 

I have reasons aplenty as to why I say this. 

Why I'd say our Malaysian cops are not doing their jobs right.

1. The N case. My friend, N (an international student) was around the KLCC area one fine day. He just so happened to park in a wrong spot. To his dismay, the police came to "talk to him". They told him to get rid of the Malay friends he had with him. So, as soon as the Malay friends were out of earshot distance, they asked him, "how much??". And his response was, "I'm sorry, I don't understand". Why of course, in this poor lad's eyes, he had done no wrong. So they set the ball rolling and in the end, arrested N for no apparent reason just because he simply didn't want to bribe them for something he had not done. His reason was, "I am Muslim. Bribery is frowned upon in Islam" and trust me, that line angered the police to hell and back. (The policemen were Muslims themselves.) To cut a terribly long story short, the police locked him up for 2 weeks and he lost a total of more than 10 kilos in that short span of time and his mum had to fly in to "beg and grovel for mercy"; they were horridly rude to her though. He lost a total of 10 000 Malaysian Ringgit and more than 10 kilos of body mass. He was traumatized. I can go on and on about basic human rights which N was completely and utterly denied of but that would be rather time-consuming.

2. The police are usually not allowed into private property without warrants. I was also raised up by very intelligent people who told me about 'human rights'. 

This happened 4 years ago when we were having a jolly good hangout with friends and music. (No international students involved here.) The police came around 2 am and started yelling at us from the gate. My friend handled the crisis pretty well and told all of us to stay in. She went out to talk to him. He told her that he got complains from our neighbours (our neighbours had not bee around for more than 2 weeks, it was a student community and we were almost the only ones left there, it was a ghost town, practically) stating that we were making too much noise.

He radioed for backup (cowardly, of course) and almost instantly, a few more cops appeared. They raided our house, demanding for our ICs and every other documentation we had on us. 

Human right number one. The police cannot barge into a private house WITHOUT a warrant.

Human right number two. The police cannot simply confiscate OR demand for our ICs without warrants AS we are in a private house.

Human right number three. Women are not allowed to follow male officers back to ANY police station before 6 am. Women are not to be arrested unless there is a female officer present at the time of arrest.

This stupid cop just said, "Ikut saya. Jangan buat hal. Saya kata awak ikut, ikut. Jangan nak buat kecoh."

Translation: Follow me. Don't cause a scene. I tell you to follow me, just follow me. Don't create trouble.

And the majority of us in the house were girls. With our ICs confiscated. For no reason. I requested for a female officer to be present. He told me, "we don't have one at the moment. Not our problem."

Such attitude. They only stopped harassing us when one of my friend's boyfriends came and helped us out by making a call. (To a person of higher authority I presume.) That was a rather traumatizing incident too. The policemen looked bored and very horny (if I may say); most of us were girls. You can be the judge of it. 

3. I have been stopped various times at roadblocks especially around the Kuala Dipang and Kampar areas. I think the police there have very shallow mentalities and are oftentimes bored and think with their little heads down there. I produce my IC along with everything else necessary and THEY STILL STOP ME FOR A LITTLE CHAT. I usually don't get down from the car and they hover around, asking me questions that are not job-related and also rather too personal. I loathe their existence. I always felt a little or rather very disturbed by that particular group of policemen around the Kuala Dipang, Kampar area. 

4. Another foreign friend of mine got beaten up mighty bad on National Day. He was with his Malaysian friends when that happened and they couldn't help him. They were overpowered. They took him to the nearest police station to make a police report however but they told him it was his fault. "Itu masalah kamu bukan kitorang punya pasal." The Malaysian mentality.

You see, I'm not saying ALL coppers are bad per se. It's just that the majority of them really give ALL of them a bad name here. It's too bad, really.

I have severe trust issues when it comes to cops. And these are my reasons. I have many more but these could sum everything up in a nutshell.

The beauties of corruption have hit them hard and to rid THAT problem, we need an "ethnic cleansing" sort of, if I may say.

Syria, Mortal Kombat and an ode to Tesla (I).

Firstly, a shout out to my Polish and German blogvisitormunchies :)

So, in today's crazy world that is heading towards destruction (doomsayer, I am not), it is the "norm" for political infiltration and severe meddling and interference.

"If the world continues going the way it is going, it'll have an expiry date real soon."  -S-

We're a couple of pickles. Duckface and retard.

Picture of E and I before our competition. 

Anyhow, back to the story line. I digress too much. Why is the world shattering in all its glory?? The world, believe it or not, is controlled by ONE group. A certain group whose identities are never and can never be blown. An elite group of elitists who are really the puppeteers steering their way in the world's highways through marionettes. 

I'm pretty sure you've heard it all. Freemasonry, the Illuminati, Reptilians, etc. But if those are just wickedly cool conspiracy theories, then WHAT is the real truth?? Truth be said, the real terrorists aren't really the people from the Middle East. Or the Muslims. Who infiltrates other nations with such veto powered mindsets and force?? Who controls the whole of the global economy (without their own national banking system) and tells others WHAT terrorism is?? Who controls most of the mass media (thank goodness for the Internet and freedom of speech) and creates subliminal messages in every dimension possible?? 

Umm, the U.S of course. 

Let's start with Syria. Since the end of World War II, the Americans have tried VERY hard to overthrow more than 50 governments. They have built their reigns in quite a few populist nations now. What with all that bullshit about Kony and "military intervention" in Uganda and stuff like that. Like Sonia Blade from Mortal Kombat says, "If I need backup, I will radio for it." You think those "poor besotted" countries need janitors or nannies to clear their messes and wipe off sour milk with clean bibs?? Nobody really likes their dirty lined washed in public. The mass media portrays Muslims as terrorists and such. S is from Pakistan. The Taliban movement is pretty rampant there and bombs are quite "the norm" there, these days. But really, the people who work for the Taliban ARE NOT THE REAL DEAL. Many have been caught and interrogated and it has been found that they do not speak Urdu OR Farsi, most come from Eastern Europe. Yup, you read it right.

What the West is trying to do is commit a "legal genocide" much like how Nazism was imposed back then. Don't get me wrong. I was a fan of Barack Obama. I still do respect him but that sense of respect is diminishing, much to my astonishment. I say astonishment, because I am appalled at his weak ways of handling things. How he allows the attacks without first calculating strategies. Seriously, wanna dominate the world?? First, read up military strategies. Take up a delicious war-strategy filled autobiography and enjoy it with a piping hot cup of coffee. Sun Tzu's 'Art of War', Genghis Khan's wolf formation military advances, Hitler's manipulative stances and mind-games; you see, history repeats itself.

The U.S apparently asked Korea for nuke help and they rescinded, but of course. With all their nosy military interventions in the past century, more civilians have died than the targeted groups. You really think Syria needs the Americans' 'military intervention'?? "Go home U.S, you're drunk" would be the perfect phrase for a witty meme. I have to go slow on my thoughts. The analyses of all these happenings are like one big clump of neurotic mass ready to implode on itself {more like a nuclear fusion than a nuclear fission} to Brian (my brain if you still don't know who he is) and he is currently still handling it rather well. 

The U.S is actually handling genocide in a very polite manner. They always assure their people that "civilians will be taken care of". Why of course, they are taken care of alright. Trust me on this, the U.S use a 'divide and conquer tactic' every single time. How do they do it?? Rebels versus the good side. When the rebels strike, the U.S then rushes in with all their niceness and try to defend the people of the country, while apparently trying to minimize civilian deaths and preserve the civilian infrastructure. What they really do is play good cop, bad cop. Really, it's not that difficult to gauge their steps. (If a girl like ME could anticipate their moves, anyone can. It's like a game of chess.) Like my dad says all the time, anticipate. If you're skeptical about what I'm saying, watch a tonne of American movies/series. Rest assured, you'd understand their good cop, bad cop strategies. They play the turn friend into foe game. They play the divide and conquer game all too well.

Step one: Deploy forces, impregnate the target country with troops.

Step two: Divide the country into friend and foe, pick a side.

Easy peasy lemon squeezy. So, these are the tactics the U.S military uses with orders from their uppers. 

I guess my post is getting too lengthy and a post that requires more than five minutes of reading would most certainly bore any audience, for that matter. With that in mind, Tesla is a brilliant mind. Edison was his U.S. I'll explain that more in my next post, read on!!

Why Mortal Kombat in my title?? Analysing game plans would help anyone with understanding military strategies. Also, the Mortal Kombat movies were super fantastic. How could I have missed them :/ I missed sheer awesomeness, awesomeness since 1995. I swear, watch them, you won't regret. I have S to thank, for opening up my eyes to all this and introducing me to so many new brilliant aspects of things. It's a beautiful expansion of my horizon. I couldn't ask for more, really. He really makes me see things outside of my kaleidoscopic vision. Makes me peep outside the little bubble I store my short self in. Makes me take maturity in a whole different concept. Also, I have Mo to thank, for being my 'politicking buddy', another brilliant mind. 

P.s# I named my pet reptile (baby iguana) after the character Sheeva in Mortal Kombat. It really is something to shout about.

Nuclear weapons (DU)=Harlequin Ichthyosis.

Me after Reen's wedding.

Hello :) 

Three issues that have been on my noggin'; acid attacks on women, Harlequin Ichthyosis and rude Chinese people.

Warning: Leave this page if you don't like rants and/or graphic material.

There was a huge debate on Harlequin Ichthyosis and whether it is a result of uranium-depletion. Or depleted uranium as the scientists call it, DU. A few rather assertive articles have come up on it, the best one written by Dave Lindorff. Lindorff claims that DU DOES cause the Harlequin-type-Ichthyosis in fetuses, like what Agent Orange did.

What is Harlequin Ichthyosis, you may wonder?? Let me stimulate your senses with these pictures. They are TRAGIC and you might not be able to finish your meal (if you're reading this while eating) so be forewarned.

Disclaimer: These pictures are not mine and have been obtained from the various sources on the Internet. I am not taking any sides here but these children deserve justice.

These are not alien spawn, just very unfortunate babies. So, coming back to the point, the BIG debate, is Harlequin Ichthyosis caused or heightened by DU?? Does DU really play such an imminent role in altering human genes (the ABCA12 gene which, if mutated, causes several health conditions including Harlequin Ichthyosis) and is it really that great a catalyst??

The other big question that pops up again and again; does the United States really care about the well being of other countries?? Military assistance in Uganda, the Americans trying to catch and defame Phony Kony, being all sympathetic with war-struck countries but really, do they care?? We live in a world where everything is warped and although we have the Internet as a medium of information transfer, the information we can obtain is still highly questionable. However, with this being said, the rise in Harlequin Ichthyosis has been spotted more in Iraq and Afghanistan of recent than in any other country. 

Harlequin Ichthyosis is a type of skin disease in which the skin of the sufferer hardens because of the thickening of the keratin layer in fetal human skin. The skin of a sufferer would have large diamond-shaped scales and would tend to have a red hue. These sufferers are more prone to infections and bleed at birth. They rarely survive. This is caused by a mutation in the ABCA12 gene in humans. To Biology freaks, the ABCA 12 gene is located on the long arm of the 2nd chromosome. 

So, apparently, the Pentagon is sending out flame-agents or flamers (the Internet slang for harsh-trolling if I may) to flame on articles which write about how DU causes Harlequin Ichthyosis. They call themselves misinformation operatives. But of course. Who'd wanna look like the bad guy, right?? These Pentagon cyber 'warriors' often use ad hominems or red herrings to draw attention away from facts, using character assassination etc.

DU is used heavily in weaponry and consists of U-236 and U-238 and has been capitalized by the Pentagon. DU is used in warheads because they make ideal penetrators that can pierce thick armory and dense concrete bunkers. 

"Accordingly it has found its way into 30 mm machine gun ammunition, especially that used by the A-10 Warthog ground-attack fighter planes used extensively in Iraq and Afghanistan (as well as Kosovo). It is also the warhead of choice for Abrams tanks and is also reportedly used in GBU-28 and the later GBU-37 bunker buster bombs, each of which can have 1-2 tons of the stuff in its warhead.

DU is also used as ballast in cruise missiles, and this burns up when a missile detonates its conventional explosive. Some cruise missiles are also designed to hit hardened targets and reportedly feature DU warheads, as does the AGM-130 air-to-ground missile, which carries a one-ton penetrating warhead. In addition, depleted uranium is used in large quantities in the armor of tanks and other equipment. This material becomes a toxic source of CU pollution when these vehicles are attacked and burned." -Dave Lindorff, The Public Record-

Why of course, the Pentagon argues that the usage of DU really doesn't have any hazards. Why should the innocent Afghan and Iraqi children have to suffer because of the Americans' callous ways of dealing with things?? By the way, most of these cases were reported in Fallujah. So once again, who are the real perpetrators here?? 

Any opinions on this great debate??

DU causes many health conditions including Harlequin Ichthyosis. The definite rise in the number of cases of this health condition DEFINITELY points to something. Think about it. Scaruffi says that a scientist supporting the motion to this great debate (Gunther)'s work is sloppy. But really, HI is not genetic as these babies are being born into families that have ZERO medical history of HI. I could go on and on, but being a bore is not what I was cut out to be.

What do you think?? Fact or fallacy??

P.s# I am not supporting any sides, being a zionist or an anti-semite. Or an Islamophobe for that matter. Whatever is stated, is based on research, and a love/lust relationship with Science and politics.

Conspiracy theories 1 (Malaysian edition).

Before I start my rant, here's a nice picture of Heyli (my uni bestie) and I. 

Malaysia's biggest problem??

Najib.

Seriously. Don't believe me?? Think again. That rat is more cunning and conniving than a mongoose trying to trap a snake or a rodent.

That man knows exactly what he's doing, where he's headed to and he has an ultimate goal, an ultimate target to which he is working towards. And we all don't know what he has in store for us. Let's call him, He Who Shall Not Be Named. HWSNBN in short. 

The cops play the blame game. It's the best time to sit back and watch this melodrama with a huge bag of popcorn. 

The cops are blaming the repeal of the EO (Emergency Ordinance) for the crazy increase in gun violence in Malaysia. When was the law repealed?? In 2011, by HWSNBN himself!! I think HWSNBN will blame the people for the repeal of the EO. He would say, "Oh the rakyat wanted the EO abolished" and so on and so forth. He loves to play word games doesn't he now. 

According to the associate professor of Criminology of the Malaysian Science University (USM), HWSNBN had indeed taken the public's words out of context, to his own convenience. What the professor said was, "We advised the government to repeal the Restricted Residences Act but to revise the EO." 

"We should have a similar law to the EO but it must come with stringent checks and balances so that there is no abuse," he added.

See?? Repeal the what?? The Restricted Residences Act and REVISE the EO. Not repeal the EO completely. According to sources who must not be mentioned, when those criminals were freed without trial two years ago, they were released on one condition. They had to vote for HWSNBN in the upcoming elections as a sort of pay-off if I may say?? Well, these are only rumours but I must say, HWSNBN is quite capable of doing that.

You don't think HWSNBN wouldn't do ANYTHING at all for money?? After AMMB Holdings founder, Bahrain-born Hussain Ahmad Najadi was shot dead just last week, HWSNBN pledged to boost resources for fighting crime. The keyword here, boost resources. Where on earth does the money really go to?? He just puts it down in the ledger book, "this sum of money for so and so" and what he really does is pocket a large amount of it. Just like any of the other BN members. For instance, scandalous Ng Yen Yen and her 1.8 million MR spent on creating that Facebook page. 

LOL. With all the ministers speaking out one by one now, I really want to see where all this is heading to. We have Zaid Ibrahim, Pak Lah himself and the ex chief of police on the 'dark side' now. Let's see who else the opposition can recruit. 

Malaysia is becoming a warzone. A democratic nation?? My buttcrack. It is a monarchy, a dictator-peasant authoritarian government-ruled state. Where religion and law have integrated so badly that the police are more focused on pouncing on people who they think or "interpret as" going against the Malaysian Islamic law. Why emphasize the Malaysian Islamic Law?? Because these people who possess power use religion as an attack ground for the public. Missiles are fired wrongly, religion misinterpreted sorely and they're really distorting it through their Nazi-coloured glasses (forgive the blatant pun.)

This is only the beginning.
