小學生問老師：為何毛主席可以「萬歲」

孌童癖的國民教育

一位上世紀六、七十年代就讀爱国小學的聽眾打電話到電台烽煙節目，講述當年受爱国教育蹂躪的遭遇。三不五 時，老師帶學生到一間密室，要 學生念毛語錄，齊喊「毛主席萬歲」！小學生問老師：為何毛主席可以「萬歲」，他老人家不會死的嗎？老師疾言厲色，叫你喊就 喊，不要問這麼多！

聽眾說，所謂國民教育，就是孌童癖。孌童癖侵犯小朋友的身體，國民教育蹂躪小朋友未成熟的腦袋。

這位聽眾的譬喻，令人毛管直豎，實在太貼切了！爱国教育，從娃娃抓起，香港的德育及國民教育，即使眾聲怒吼，全民反對，推出新的課程指引 後，就不再進行任 何諮詢，悍然起動，先由小學生開始，繼而進侵中學。先對全無反抗能力的小學生進行洗腦，要他們認同一黨專政，對着五星紅旗激動流淚，繼而 用各種方法評估小 朋友對國民身份的認同程度，為爱国情懷打分數……

這種侵犯兒童腦袋的行為，比孌童癖的罪行有過之而無不及。孌童癖是病態，需要接受治療。侵犯兒童腦袋的爱国教育，是意識形態機器的一部 份，是武力支持下的強權，以國家的名義合法地進行，令人抵抗無從。

在特區政府用一千三百多萬元公帑，不經招標，私相授受給爱国左派背景的教聯會，組成了國民教育中心，除了開辦價錢便宜行程豐富的內地遊學 團，以軟性方式對 學生進行洗腦外，更出版滿紙謊言的《中國模式──國情專題教學手冊》，把中國的一黨專政，美化成「進步、無私與團結的執政集團」，抹黑西 方多黨輪替的制 度，說成是「政黨惡鬥，人民當災」。

為了替內地塗脂抹粉，更把獨裁政府權力交接的腥風血雨、貪污腐敗越趨驚人、貧富懸殊日益惡化、侵犯人權越來越令人髮指……通通抹掉，即使 稍有觸及，也只是輕描淡寫。

除了《教學手冊》，國民教育中心還印製海報送到學校，學生每天要在充斥謊言的校園上課學習，為了得到更好的成績，還要揣摩校長老師的想 法，久而久之，自己也同化成謊言的一部份，培養出集體說謊的下一代。

反對洗腦爱国教育，走在最前線的，是由十四、五歲初中生組成的「學民思潮」，連日用各種幽默抵死的方法，狙擊新上任的教育局長吳克儉，要 求政府收回洗腦教育方案。

大人們，你們忍心看見這幫年輕人，在資源緊絀毫無支援下喊得力竭聲嘶，而不加以援手嗎？各大中小學教師團體的應該組成聯盟，聯手向梁振英 政府施壓。家長 們，你們關心子女能否進入名校，但對於接受甚麼內容的洗腦教育，你們卻無動於衷嗎？家長們，團結起來，向爱国教育說不，嚴防子女受爱国孌 童癖侵犯！放開你 的髒手，不要再來搞我們的小朋友！

 

China Needs Own Superhero To Counter The West

This is a turly WTF … A Chinese comic company has just released the very first China superhero character, known as CAPTAIN CHINA. The red communist super hero is certainly a knockoff from Marvel Captain America. He is carrying a vintage pistol manufactured by the Soviet Communist Party, not the indestructible shield made in USA. When President Obama visited China, he has protected his safety. And yes, this CAPTAIN CHINA was frozen during Mao’s era and reborn in the future. And surprisingly, you can get this horrible Chinese superhero comic book in Kindle edition at Amazon. We got a 12 pages preview here, LOL …
UPDATE: This comic is written and drawn by two Chinese folks, named Chi Wang and Jim Lai. Chi Wang has been working with Marvel Comics before, and Jim Lai is a cartoonist from Hong Kong. The comic is published by a company call ‘Excel Comics’ located at Orlando Florida. The first episode has a total of 37 pages, come with both Chinese and English version. Initially, the author planned to produce a funny comic to satirize the America super hero, with a communist character. After visiting the great China, Wang wants to create an America style Chinese super hero that carry justice in the communist country.










Right now, the Chinese version of Captain China can be downloaded free in China. (Link here, the green button.) As usual, the Chinese reader properly doesn’t care about the copyright. The author might be an American-born-Chinese that admire the communism of China. (UPDATE: look like the author has left us a comment, see below … ) We feel that this comic has really made China look ugly, especially compare to Captain America, but who know, some Chinese reader might love it !

Maoist Cultural Revolution with Sexual Romance

 

Vintage Comic Shows Maoist Cultural Revolution with Sexual Romance

The Chinese Cultural Revolution was a socio-political movement that took place in China from 1966 through 1976. Set into motion by Chairman Mao, the leader of the Communist Party of China, its stated goal was to enforce socialism in the country by removing capitalist, traditional and cultural elements from Chinese society. An American comic book from 1977, featuring ‘Red Guard Romance’, has looked into this Cultural Revolution while some sexual romance has been involved …


The sexy underground comix is a little bit kinky, but it stands out as a high standard of political pop art, from an era when the outside world still referred to China as a place covered behind the curtain. It is ironic for‘Maoism‘ crossover with sex, isn’t it ?

Making Love Inside Cable Car is Prohibited in China

The Yaoshan mountain in Henan Province is one of the tourist attractions in central part of China. A cable car service connects the top and the foot offers bird’s-eye views of wonderful peaks and surrounds for tourist. Due to safety issue, the authority has put up a sign board telling young tourist not to make love inside the cable car. Reason for this is because some one had spotted a couple doing naughty thing during the ride and some footage had been captured. Shaking inside automobile is consider safe but the same practice is much much more dangerous in high air with just only cable wire hanging to it …

Chinese like to have dangerous sex in high air …

Motown Funk Brothers Bob Babbitt Dies At Age 74

Motown bass player Bob Babbitt, whose work lit up a host of hits in the ’60s and ’70s, died this morning in Nashville, friends said. He was 74.
Babbitt had been diagnosed in early 2011 with an inoperable brain tumor. He was recently readmitted to the hospital after a year of home hospice care.
“Bob was a teddy bear of a guy,” said former Motown engineer Ed Wolfrum. “And he was an extraordinary musician — a player’s player.”
At Motown Records in the late ’60s, Babbitt’s thick, fluid bass lines drove the groove on songs by the Temptations (“Ball of Confusion”), Stevie Wonder (“Signed Sealed Delivered I’m Yours),” Rare Earth (“Losing You”), Smokey Robinson & the Miracles (“The Tears of a Clown”) and many others.
Like other members of Motown’s renowned Funk Brothers studio band, he often moonlighted for other Detroit labels and studios — including United Sound and Golden World — performing on tunes such as the Capitols’ “Cool Jerk,” the Parliaments’ “(I Wanna) Testify,” and Freda Payne’s “Band of Gold.”
Other work in the ’60s included sessions with burgeoning hometown star Bob Seger, at United Sound, and with rocker Jeff Beck — the first non-Motown act permitted to use the label’s West Grand Boulevard studio.
Like many studio musicians of the era, Babbitt wasn’t always publicly acknowledged for his work. It wasn’t uncommon for Babbitt’s role to be omitted — or even actively hidden — on record credits.
He told the Free Press in 2003 that his Scorpion was “actually the rhythm section on the first Funkadelic album (in 1970) at Tera Shirma studios, but George (Clinton) gave credit to his band at that time.”
Like his fellow Funk Brothers, Babbitt at last got wider attention via the 2002 documentary “Standing in the Shadows of Motown,” which chronicled the group’s work behind the scenes.
Babbitt, a Pittsburgh native who moved to Detroit as a teenager in the late ’50s, got his start on the Motor City music scene playing clubs with the popular local band the Royaltones.
“I was taking a walk and happened to pass a place where I heard some guys rehearsing,” he recounted to the Free Press. “I went down and introduced myself, got my upright bass, and started working with them. The scene in Detroit then was heavy on the teenage clubs. They were all over the city — all kinds of different groups. That’s where we started to meet the other musicians.”
He remained a go-to session musician and tour bassist in the 1970s, notching hits with artists such as the Spinners, the O’Jays and Gloria Gaynor. Though heralded for his soul chops, Babbitt was versatile enough to land work across a variety of styles, performing on such top 10 pop hits as Jim Croce’s “I Got a Name” and Barry Manilow’s “Copacabana.”
His signature bass line came in 1971 — a stellar solo on the pioneering funk-rock song “Scorpio” with Dennis Coffey, himself a former Royaltone and Funk Brother. “Bob had that big, fat sound,” Coffey said today. “The highlight of his career, in my mind, was that solo. It set a bass standard. You didn’t hear bass solos on records, let alone a hit record. Guys were freaking out trying to duplicate it. That was the benchmark for a bass player: You had to be able to play that ‘Scorpio’ solo.’”

isten to Babbitt play in 'Heatwave'

You can clearly hear Bob Babbitt’s velvety playing in this clip from the “Standing in the Shadows of Motown.” He’s seated right behind singer Joan Osborne, who here is tackling “Heat Wave,” the hit originally made famous by Martha & the Vandellas.

China’s Off-Balance Sheet Lending Explosion

Last week’s People’s Bank of China Financial Stability report  contained a few statistics that look unbelievable.  I noted few months ago that the size of banking assets for Chinese banks has reached RMB113.3 trillion, which was 239.7% of 2011 nominal GDP.  That is a staggeringly large number compared to the West, but as credit markets are less developed in China, the discrepancy can be rationalised.

The really shocking number from the Financial Stability Report is that the size of banks’ off-balance sheet activities, which have grown to a staggeringly large number.  By the end of 2011, the size of off-balance assets has reached RMB39.16 trillion, or 35.1% of total assets according to the PBOC’s financial stability report, an increased of 17.98% from a year ago.  The off-balance sheet business experienced rapid growth when the PBOC was tightening credit.  As credit from formal channels was tightened, banks appeared to have designed ways to circumvent regulations and lend via off-balance sheet vehicles.  Entrusted loans, for instance, increased by 29.38%.  Meanwhile, the outstanding wealth management products have reached RMB4 trillion.

We are shocked by this number, which looks unreal (I was hoping it was a misprint and it was actually RMB3.916 trillion instead).  The size of off-balance banking assets amounted to 83% of nominal GDP of 2011 on top of the banking assets (presumably on balance sheet) of roughly 239.7% of GDP.  We believe that this bit of the banks’ businesses are related to the shadow banking system, which we know very little about, and this number raises far more questions than answers regarding to the scale of the shadow banking mess as well as the true scale of debts in China.

HSBC"s Dealings With Osama Bin Laden's Gang

Report Shows How HSBC Maintained Its Ties With One Of Osama Bin Laden's Key Benefactors


Yesterday, the Senate released a report on HSBC's ties to the darkest actors in global finance. Today, the details of the 335 page investigation are trickling out and shocking everyone.

The laundry list of offenses includes everything money laundering for Mexican drug cartels to ignoring U.S. regulations meant to prevent dollars from reaching our country's known enemies.

Enemies like Al Qaeda.

One of the most damning parts of the report details HSBC's relationship with Saudi based Al Rajhi Bank, a member of Osama bin Ladin's 'Golden Chain' of important Al Qaeda financiers. The relationship has spanned decades, perhaps that is why even when HSBC's own internal compliance offices asked that it be terminated in 2005, even when the US government discovered hard evidence of Al Rajhi's relationship with terrorism, HSBC continued to business with the bank until 2010.

Al Rajhi bank is owned by the billionaire Al Rajhi family and holds $59 billion in assets. It is Saudi Arabia's largest private bank.

Al Rajhi's links to terrorism were confirmed in 2002 when U.S. agents searched the offices of a Saudi non-profit and U.S. designated terrorist organization, Benevolence International Foundation (page 193). In that raid, agents uncovered a CD-ROM listing the names of financiers in Osama bin Ladin's elite 'Golden Chain.' One of those names was Sulaiman bin Abdul Aziz Al Rajhi, a founder of Al Rajhi bank.

From the report (page 194):

It doesn't stop there: Al Rahji is also known for financial services to 9/11 hijacker Abdulaziz al Omari, who was on American Airlines flight 11 (page 201).

An excerpt of a civil lawsuit against the bank from the Senate report (page 201):

It wasn't until 2005 when the bank was linked to $130,000 worth of U.S. travelers cheques cashed to support violent extremists in Chechnya that HSBC's internal compliance office asked that the bank discontinue all business with Al Rajhi (page 188). Some employees listened, some did not.

By the end of 2006 the relationship was completely reinstated and HSBC continued to provide the bank with U.S. dollars.

The relationship continued until 2010.
