This is an item I started working on in November of last year. I let it sit so I could edit it, and think through some of the things I thought I saw coming. However,in the light of the ensuing Sydney race riots at Cronulla beach, this appears to be something which the powers that be will use to make much menace with. Certainly food for thought, particularly as the turbaned menace gets closer to Terra Australis Discognita. How can people be so stupid? Trust everything you read in the newspaper!
Sydney Morning Herald:
By Connie Levett in Bangkok and agenciesNovember 28, 2005
A POLICE abuse scandal sparked by a short phone video clip of a Chinese woman, stripped naked and forced to do "ear squats", is being called Malaysia's Abu Ghraib.
[By whom, and more inportantly, why? The HAMMER.]
Malaysia is now in full damage control as it tries to contain diplomatic fallout with China, the most important emerging power in the region, shortly before the East Asia Summit. The scandal comes after a series of recent allegations of harassment, including strip searches, of young Chinese women in Malaysia by police and immigration officials.
It also adds weight to claims that Chinese are being targeted and profiled.
The one-minute, 11-second clip starts with a female [FEMALE MOSLEM POLICE WOMAN - talk about a minority group!!! The HAMMER!] police officer ordering a naked Chinese woman, possibly in her 20s, to do the squats while holding her ears. The footage, taken on a mobile phone, appears to have been shot through a window without either woman's knowledge.
Lim Kit Siang, leader of the opposition Democratic Action Party, called it Malaysia's Abu Ghraib, a reference to the humiliating abuse of Iraqi prisoners in a US military prison near Baghdad.
A DAP politician, Teresa Kok, played the video clip in parliament on Friday to politicians and the media. "Is it standard practice for police to ask detainees to strip naked and to do ear squats?" Ms Kok asked afterwards. [Note the tacit pregnant silence concerning this question throughout the rest of Ms Levatt's article. This is bothersome; annoying in it's lack of definition. It's omission is sinister. The HAMMER!]
So far no one has been charged over the videoed detention or earlier incidents. [And this one is enough to generate MalayGhraib'GATE'??? Yawn... Whom does this bothersome rumor-mongering benefit? Where is the MONEY going? "W. Mark Feld - Deep Throat". The HAMMER.]
Mr Lim said that the Malaysian public were entitled to know why the police as a whole "seem so indifferent and detached in a police scandal which had rocked the country and has such far-reaching consequences to the country's tourism, trade, economy as well as the country's international standing, particular the Malaysia-China relationship".
[Doesn't take much to rock a country. Ask Ossie Osborne..."Rock 'en F***ken Rooolll", he'd cry. Particularly when it's rulers are ever-so obviously agent provocateurs! You tell the police to do it, then they get scapegoated!!! Chinese Australians who smuggle drugs for countries which require the death penalty - when they get caught in the act, and have to pay the price. These things surely "rock" countries - but are they issues of substance? The ease of rocking - vs the substance of the "quake" - there's the rub, or ratio, to be examined! The HAMMER.]
The Malaysian Prime Minister, Abdullah Badawi, called a press conference on the sidelines of the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Malta on Saturday to demand an immediate investigation, and "no cover-up", Bernama, Malaysia's national news agency, reported. [ So here we have it; CHOGM rears it's ugly head again. They'll probably use this to introduce biometric passports in poor Malta, and put CCTV cameras on every street corner, and outside every whitewashed corner store - these are still in trees in Melbourne after CHOGM "rocked" through there in the late '70's!!! The HAMMER!!! Note I wrote this in NOVEMBER of last year, and on 28th January THIS year, it's announced in the Sydney Telegraph that CCTV in New South Wales will be amalgamated into the biggest civilian television surveillance network outside of the UK!!! To fight crime? Hardly.]
The scandal comes two weeks before the East Asia Summit, a Malaysian diplomatic initiative that will bring the 10 members of the Association of South-East Asian Nations together with China, Japan, India, Australia, South Korea and New Zealand.
[And how timely it is, too... Let's OVATE THEM!! The HAMMER.]
China, as the emerging economic superpower, is the most important member of the trade-focused forum.
[No kidding. But: excuse me if it appears, ostensibly, if regional governments, newspapers, and other highly-placed, over-qualified agitators look like they've been up at the witching hour, stirring the Chinese/Moslem Bitches Brew that is the Australasian/Pacific Region? See article enclosed:]

The Eagle And The Dragon 7th November, 2005
Now that the Cold War is over and the Soviet Union has collapsed, the next source of super power tensions will be between the United States and China. It is not yet clear how hot that new cold war will get. [YET - keep stoking it by issues like this "naked ear squat", and we'll see what hot means. Looks like someone, somewhere, is picking a fight: The HAMMER.]
Dr Bates Gill of the Centre for Strategic and International Studies at Washington DC was recently in Sydney and I caught up with him at the US Consulate General. He gave a fascinating talk on the US perspectives on managing China's peaceful rise. [And Suter is smiling - come on, he must be - he's got a professional portrait. Pose for the geopolitics! - AND a NEWSLETTER! The HAMMER!]
The Chinese Government sees domestic political stability and economic development as the main priorities. China's main worries are inward, rather than focused on overseas. It does not want to become a troublemaker neighborhood (which would deter foreign investment and be bad for business). [So we'll start picking on the big guy - China - by making it's women do "naked ear squats" whilst some stooge is outside the jail bars yelling "cut" for the camera phone. Are we becoming selectively blind to this robbing of privation? the HAMMER.]
China is also aware that its rise is a worry for its neighbours and so it is trying to reassure the neighbours that they have nothing to worry about. China sees itself as having a peaceful rise rather than the militaristic rise to power of the Kaiser's Germany and modern Japan, both in the late 19th century. [Tell that to the Falun Gung! But: let's see if we can take gentle snipes at the big guy in our newspapers, eh? Does anyone remember early 2001 when a US spyplane "strayed" into Chinese airspace? The most technologically-sophisticated nation in the world just "strayed" into another country's airspace, nearly creating a confligration of massive proportions? Oh - maybe you believe Osama Bin Laden drove two planes into the World Trade Centre from a cave in Afghanistan as well? The HAMMER.]
China recognizes that the US will continue to dominate world affairs for the foreseeable future. It is not troubled by the US's role and it does not want to confront it directly. [Again: perhaps indirectly, by flying spyplanes over it, early 2001? By ghod, George W. rattled a mean sabre when that happened, didn't he? This Friday (count from publication date), when the poor stooge with a few kgs of smack in his luggage, in Singapore, gets hanged, John Howard will join the frey with the 'Let Them Eat Cake' crowd by going to the cricket - during the hanging! All this is inflaming a situation by having client states do nasty things in neo-con newspapers! ANTAGONISE CHINA??? How about, "let's infuriate it???" Wow! The HAMMER.]
The US has zero savings. Americans spend money as quickly as they earn it and their government itself has the greatest level of indebtedness of any government. But China is willing to keep lending money to the US.
There is a saying in banking that if I owe a bank a million dollars, I have a problem. But if I owe the bank a billion dollars, then the bank has a problem (because it cannot afford to have me collapse). China cannot afford to have the US collapse. [Ah, but watch the FED do it all by itself!!! The HAMMER.]
There is a marriage of convenience between an indebted country and its creditor. China wants to keep the US ticking over and so it will not destabilize it. If it were to destabilize the US, then it would create instability within China, and this would destroy the cosy existence of the communist party. [But who would the US borrow from to de-stablise China? China???? Bah - HUMBUG!]
That is the good news. [ For whom, pray tell? The HAMMER.]
Now for some bad news. This is as good as it gets. From here on in, the future could become increasingly tense. [Smell the cheese...Socko!!! Anyone for a sucker punch??? No kidding, Keith - it's called GLOBALIST, CREATIVE, DE-STABILIZATION!!! The HAMMER.]
Obviously as the Americans start to wake up to their level of debt, they will fret over their loss of national control.
There are also looming trade problems. China has an appalling record on piracy. Microsoft material is widely available throughout China, but Bill Gates complains the he does not make any money there. Instead his material is copied. [Poor baby.... Where can I send my tears? Maybe to Gill Bates? And yes; I'm not the only one on the Internet who doubts the credos of this unfortunate monaker. Google it - but don't say "China".The HAMMER.]
American small companies are already hostile towards China because of the loss of jobs. Now the big corporations are becoming hostile because of the piracy. [Now everyone is hostile, 'cause the Malasians MOSLEMS are making the nice Communists squat NEKKED for NO GOOD REASON??? Sigh. J'accuse, Provocoteur'!!!! The HAMMER.]
China itself has a few problems. For example, will it get old before it gets rich? The West got rich over the centuries and now it has got old (because of the improved living conditions enabling people to live longer).
But China's controversial one-child family has distorted its demographic profile. By 2040, 25 per cent of the world's elderly will be in China and they will be a great burden on the social welfare system. (Interestingly a few years ago, Wesley Mission hosted a Chinese official from a big city wanting to see how social welfare is provided through non-governmental organizations in Australia).
The coming years will see how well the US and China can manage their evolving relationship. For the rest of the world's sake, they better get it right. [Even if regional provocations start inflamming the situation before important regional conferences, probably largely guided by "Consultant[s] for Social Policy[engineering?] like Mr Suter? The HAMMER!!!]

Hammertime: This is an extremely smarmy analysis rendered by someone who is a member of the ultra-secretive, exclusive think-tank "The Club of Rome". Here was The HAMMER's reply to his penetrating analysis:
Hello Keith,
What's in a name? Not much, apparently.
Whom do you think you're kidding? Would you vouch for me on the Club Of Rome membership roster? Please? I'm not kidding...
Can you spell "Microsoft", or "Wall-Mart"? Could you survive on what Chinese workers earn? The computer you are reading this on, in all probability, was sanctioned in Taiwan, and made on the Chinese mainland - for approximately 1/100th of the price that you perhaps paid for it, which makes the wages given to the workers that assembled it meaningless on a global scale.
Do you honestly give a damn about the issues you write about, or is this all "[a]...Grand Chessboard"?? [Pun on the title of ex US Secretary of State, Zbignew Brzezinski's book "The Grand Chessboard", which unabashedly talks about playing the world like a chess game for the sake of one world government, using the US as it's military arm.]
Go on, Keith. Vouch for me; I'd love to be an insider. The absolute glee of knowing that part of my earnings interest would go to the US to help bail it out so it can fight an illegal war for an energy source which is turning the planet red hot just gives me warm, red feelgoods inside.
Heck; maybe after I put my hard-earned wages into the Bank of China, they'd make me pay for the bullet before they shot me, just so my interest would compound. I calculate that it should be about $7.50 US by the year 2075.
Please; invite me to join the Club of Rome - I'm all over it.
So when's your next trip to Sonoma County, Ca? Spring Jinx, or Summer Solciste? I got the robe; I got the moxy. Let's get nekked and go dancing! (so I guess I've had my dime's worth on this guy - but, this is a man who is member of a MAJOR international think-tank)
-----------------------------------
[Ok. Summation. The nice Chineese Government is keeping America liquid. It's shooting it's workers if they do not work hard enough, and appropriating the wealth - somewhere - for who's benefit? America's? "Life is but a circle, from sunrise to sundown...." No: but where does the money leave the loop??? Back to this 'provocation'. Meanwhile, Australia cowers in fear at the advent of the boogie man "Moslem Superstate" at the bogus hand of "Jamal Islamiah". The Hammer.]
Photos from the clip appeared first in Malaysia's Chinese-language China Press; [Surprise fer- flippin Surprise!!! Anyone see a distinct pattern occuring here??? The HAMMER!] then the independent web portal Malaysiakini put an edited clip online. [One wonders how inflammatory 'The Original' was. And since such serious accusations are being leveled from it, why is it not available for public consumption? Heck; even the Nick Berg beheading snuck onto the Net in various editions. Sigh...The HAMMER.] Even the Government-controlled New Straits Times has made it page one news. [Well if the Government says so - hell - it MUST be true. The truly scary thing about all this is that not more than 30 years ago, the people editing these newspapers would have laughed this story right off the page by saying - "Boo - gotcha CIA - now you're it!" The HAMMER.]
The Deputy Premier, Najib Abdul Razak, has also promised those responsible will not be protected. "It should not have happened. [ And my point is 'IT'. ONE INCIDENT RECORDED DOES NOT AN 'ABU GHRAIB', or 'GATE' make!!!! The HAMMER.] It has dealt a severe blow to our country's image," he told reporters, but denied it would have an impact on the summit.
[This is, perhaps, because the summit has - allegedly - manufactured the incident. Note the sinister woman in black Moslem headgear staring at the naked Chineese squatter. Oooohhh, it's enough for a pre-emptive strike, isn't it? NO!!!!!!! The HAMMER!]
The Home Minister, Azmi Khalid, had announced he would fly to Beijing this week to make an apology to Chinese officials. [And pick his pay cheque up from Gill Bates at the US Consulate, then go home?? The HAMMER!]
"We will apologise where we are wrong, definitely. There's nothing wrong to admit if there are mistakes," he said in Kuala Lumpur. "Profiling Chinese women especially those below 35 as being involving in vice should not have happened." [But above 35's ok??? Why the arbitrary 35's??? But again; ONE Chineese woman does not make a profiling problem - this COULD be an isolated incident to annoy malcontents like myself, and countries like Australia who are now baying for Asian blood! After all; they're hanging our migrants, and jailing our young, nubile women, aren't they? Since I wrote this, Chapelle Corby's cousin is now in an Asian Jail - and the tabloids are quiet. Why? The HAMMER!]
The trip, however, has been postponed until December 20, Malaysia's Star newspaper reported, after Mr Azmi's Chinese counterpart requested the delay as he had some other issues to settle first. [Like where the money will go, what he'll spend it on, where it now is, and where it will be firmly, and secretly, squirrelled away from public scrutiny. The HAMMER!]
Ok.
That was the end of the report. But keep in mind the fracais which has developed on Australian soil since this post in the Sydney Morning Herald, and ask yourself - is there a regional, geopolicital pattern happening here, or is this merely random paranoia generated since 9/11.
The HAMMER declares it's the former, simply because there is too much symmetry between these so-called random outbursts, too much time-convinenienced "saved by the ball" incidents such as Osama Bin Laden turning up REPEATEDLY when G.W. Bush's popularity ratings go down, to credit this as being a random backlash to the events of the US' 9/11, or the UK's 7/7.
If you don't believe me, keep in mind, Brzezinski was Secretary of State for the US from 1976-1980, and even then it makes "The Grand Chessboard" old by literary standards, but prophetic by any standard of naievite'.
This is controlled chaos; these events are being engineered. For those Australians who are knee-jerking at Cronulla and Maroubra beaches, congratulations for playing into the hands of Mult-Nationalist Corporate globalist interests -all without the benefit of a CIA stipend, and a criminal record on top just for the effort!
Do not be fooled - every thing you see unfolding is going to plan, on time, and as provoked. This is divide and conquer at it's most heneous. This is geo-political one world government clenching it's velvet gloves around your kneck - and you're flocking to the front lines like lemmings. Naked Chineese Earsquats? Pornography for the depraved West at best, and indignation for the "fundimetalist" East. And the Twain are about to meet. Unless you have stocks in Halliburton, or Exxon-Mobile, you're not going to like it one, tiny bit.
the Hammer.
