Dear Uncle Bernard, I picked this up whilst traversing
Mother India over the past two months. I thought this could interest your
readers no end. I was unable to identify the author, but that is not important
unless he makes capital of this. Until I come back from Sabah here is wishing
you good health….heard from your FB that you have not been well………..
A nation of sheep will beget a government of wolves
Act
1:
Let me tell you a story about an old man who
lived in a small village somewhere that does not matter. It all began when the
man’s sons came to him and told him that some people from the neighboring
village had stolen a chicken from their farm. The old man told his sons to go
after the thieves and recover the chicken.
The sons
said, “Father, it’s only one chicken. We have hundreds of chicken. One won’t
make a difference.” The old man said, “Do what you please.”
A few days later, the thieves stole a goat. Once
again the old man told his sons to not let them get away with it. The sons said
that they have dozens of goats and it’s not worth the trouble. The next week it
was a horse. Once again the sons rationalized it away saying that they still
had six horses that the farm needs.
Finally, the next week the sons came back to
report to the old man and said, “Father, our sister has been abducted. What
shall we do?” The old man said, “It’s too late. You should have recovered the
chicken. Now there’s nothing you can do.”

Act
2:
I heard this story from an expat from New
Zealand who runs a very successful school in Singapore. David told me that in
the early years of Lee Kuan Yew’s government, a minister was suspected of having
taken a bribe. People said that since the minister was a close associate of
LKY, in all likelihood the man would get away with it.
But as it happened, LKY had a brief
chat with the minister one afternoon. The next day the minister went out with a
bang — he put a bullet in his head.
Singapore is one of the least corrupt nations in
the world. LKY’s policy is simple: zero tolerance for corruption. That’s so
because he himself is incorruptible and therefore does not tolerate corruption.
The wages of public corruption is death. People know it and act accordingly.

Act
3:
India’s appointed prime
minister is Dr Manmohan Singh. Under his watch, the most egregiously
blatant instances of public corruption have taken place. His ministers and
other office holders have been involved in acts of public malfeasance that are
stunningly incredible — but for at least a significant segment of Indian
voters, it is quite alright. They appear to take it as if it’s nothing out of
the ordinary. The rulers are going about the rape of the land and the people
just lay back and supinely accept it.
We are talking figuratively about rape but Dr
Singh’s misgovernance has descended into literal rape. Not just rape, gang
rape. Not just gang rape, it has finally hit (one hopes) the rock bottom into
murderous gang rape.
The 23-year old woman who was gang raped in a
New Delhi bus died in a hospital in Singapore.

Act
4:
They first stole a chicken.
The Congress government under Jawaharlal Nehru
was involved in corruption. The news papers reported it. Nehru responded saying
that the reporters were being silly since corruption is a global phenomenon and
there’s nothing to get all excited about.
Then they stole a goat.
Nehru’s daughter nationalized many sectors of
the economy, thus making public office attractive to the most criminally
corrupt. The people of India did not disapprove. They in fact voter her back to
power.
The stage was set for horse thieves.
*
* *
Act
5:
Some people started waking up to the reality.
They realized that somehow the system was not working. They heard the call from
a chosen few and gathered to register their protest. The
government followed the time-worn strategy of attack being the best form of
defense. They sent in their baton-wielding cops and the crowds — leaders too —
beat a hasty retreat.
The lesson the appointed prime minister Dr
Manmohan Singh’s government learned was that it does not take a whole lot to
put the people in their place — the place of course being that the people in
the government are the rulers and the people are serfs.
For around a century, a few hundred million
Indians were the serfs of a few thousand British. Now it is different. India is
under self-rule.
An Italian, Antonia Maino aka Sonia Gandhi, and
her bunch led by Digvijaya Singh are ruling about a thousand million Indians.
Well, perhaps it is not all that different.
Though Maino’s father was a fascist. That could make the British Raj 2.0 a
little more vicious than the British Raj of pre-1947.

Act
6:
It tickles me no end when I hear talk about
India being a free country and a democracy with universal adult franchise.
Every adult has the vote and therefore is in some sense responsible for the
kind of government. In my opinion,India is a kakistocracy — government by the
most corrupt and the least principled. Indians freely elect these people. And
among the elected are criminals who have been charged (and many convicted) of
rape and murder.
The guys who gang raped the
unfortunate woman on the bus in New Delhi share at least some of the
characteristics of the law makers of India: their criminality. A significant
numbers of Indians vote for these kinds of criminals.

* *
Act
7:
I hear that the despicably dishonest appointed
prime minister Dr Manmohan Singh’s government moved to shut down protests in
New Delhi by closing down a few metro train stations. Perhaps the people will
back down and go home.
If they don’t back down, I suppose the
unfathomably dishonest cretin, the appointed prime minister Dr Singh will
probably escalate the situation till we see tanks on the streets of New Delhi.
The
sister has been abducted.
And if I were a betting man, I would
place the bet that the people are not going to do anything about it. Come next
elections they will vote for Antonia Maino aka Sonia Gandhi and her henchmen.
*
* *
Act
8:
Antonia Maino aka Sonia Gandhi and her gang of
vile henchmen are unprincipled criminals. But they are not stupid. Their moves
are calculated to push the boundaries and they know precisely what they can get
away with. They know precisely how much they can steal and yet be elected. They
know precisely how many backs they can break with their police lathi-charge and
still the people will not lynch them.
Indians have an amazing capacity for
tolerating injustice.
It was an American, born a slave but who
understood the dynamics of slavery, who put it best over a century ago.
Frederick Douglass (1818 – 1895), the renowned American abolitionist wrote, “Find out just what people will submit to, and you have found
out the exact amount of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them . .
. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they
oppress.”
The rulers are not unintelligent. They would not
be where they are if they were not the most accomplished criminals. They make
the laws, don’t you know. They dictate the terms.
They control the press. The press provides the
cover for them and they in turn protect those in the press that do their bidding.
The Ghoses, the Sardesais, the Dutts — these are not unimportant players in
this sordid play. They are complicit in the figurative rape of India and are
handsomely rewarded for their prostitution.

The
Final Act 9:
No doubt for a few days the twitterati will be
screaming bloody murder. A few thousand will go on candlelight vigils. In a few
weeks, another distraction will occupy the talking heads on TV. Cricket will
take over the collective psyche. And of course the sordid stories of Bollywood
shakers will move the public to other concerns.
Talking of journalists, I am reminded of what
the legendary American radio broadcaster Edward R Murrow (1908 – 1965) said:
“A nation of sheep will beget a government of wolves.”
Yes, India does have a government of wolves
because India is a nation of sheep. The tyrants like Dr Singh know well
precisely how much oppression the Indian public is willing to endure.
The rape of the land and the people — literally and figuratively —
will continue……and find a parallel here?
ABU
then unless you prefer
to
be ABUsed
Malaysia is fucked compared to India. The BN robbers and rapists will use Lahad Datu to throw Anwar in jail and declare emergency.
ReplyDeleteThey will continue to rape and plunder Malaysia.
LEAVE Malaysia for the sake of your children and loved ones. The goddamned country is a failed state!!!
Zorro
ReplyDeleteThis long drowsy article takes hours to read & is hard to understand. I prefer your single type of deadly punch which strikes deep & wide.
We just need to knock out UMNO, and the rest is history
lky not corrupt? ,that's the biggest bullshit ever!
ReplyDeleteThe rapists ,once proven to be guilty of the crime should be castrated and live the rest of their lives like eunuchs. Let start the process with the P.M. of India, not forgetting all the wolves in sheep clothing in Malaysia !
ReplyDeleteHas 'democracy' in India not been working well now, that our ex-minister of the Same Value has come back to roost. Seeking re-election?
ReplyDeleteHas malaysia been really ruled by the malay?
ReplyDeleteThey should send racist Hindraf supporters and their great leaders back to India to carry out corrective reforms to the corrupted Indian govt...since they do not see further than their noses...only the love of their skin color...forgetting they are Malaysians!
ReplyDelete
ReplyDelete"One way passage to India for Hindraf, return to your beloved motherland. You can fight for your Indians' cause"....nobody gives a shit!
Instead of telling us how they could tackle the Sulu intruders, BN chose to use its media to put blame on Anwar and Tian Chua.
ReplyDeleteInstead of prompt updates on local TV stations, we are bombarded with im4u propaganda songs and videos. This is showing no respect to the dead policemen!
Sultan sulu pun ada ic...
ReplyDeletePengikut pun ada ic...
Pakatan bagi ic tue ke...?
Maruah negara digadai sejak dulu oleh pemimpin UMNO/BN...
Kerana pakatan mereka dpt ic..??? kahkahkah bila pulak la Pakatan memerintah Malaysia ni..??
p/s: Fakta sebenar kenape depa mengamuk masuk ke malaysia dan menuntut tanah di LAHAT DATU..mereka tu semua org Malaysia,sbb mereka semua ada i/c yg telah dibagi kpd mereka utk memenangkan BN di Sabah pada PRU12, 3 MAC 2008 yg lalu..pada waktu itu mereka bukan shj diberikan i/c utk memastikan kemenangan BN..MALAH MEREKA DIJANJIKAN TANAH OLEH PEMIMPIN UMNO/BN..bila mereka mendengar BN tengah sibuk bagi duit BR1M RM500 kpd rakyat,mereka pun dtg utk tuntut janji pemimpin BN yg telah dibuat pada PRU12 yg lalu..sebab mereka ada i/c lah Kerajaan susah nak halau mereka,dan takut rahsia UMNO/BN terbongkar rakyat tahu..sumber wartawan reuters
The UMNO regime siphoned off RM1.2 million of tax payers money to hire American propagandist to spin malicious stories about Anwar. Now the UMNO cyber troopers are trying to cover up the incompetence of UMNO by disseminating malicious and false attacks against Anwar, Tian Chua by shamelessly fabricating outright lies. Yet this very hypocrites pretend that they are holier than thou Muslims and Malays. Real Muslims don't indulge in fitnah. Real Malays are not biadap The UMNO putras are nothing but shameless politicians looking for the next contract
ReplyDeleteBN cuba memburukkan pencerobohan Lahad Datu dengan DSAI tetapi rupa-rupanya pemimpin agung Sulu adalah tetamu agung Najib Razak semasa Perhimpunan Agung UMNO 2012.
ReplyDeleteMereka dijemput khas oleh UMNO sebagai tanda sahabat dan rakan karib intim!!!
Is the "Sultan" Sulu following what Saddam Hussein did with Kuwait?
ReplyDeleteOnce PR comes in power, a new I/C should be issue to all citizen of Malaysia. Even though it's a costly exercise, to me, this is the only solution to rid of all illegals. Every individual have to produce their BIRTH CERTIFICATE, without compromise. If there is no BIRTH CERTIFICATE, then NO NRIC. Registration Department will not entertain those who come in without these papers, and the BC must be legitimate. Those illegals, but with fake IC will be send to their homeland, without excuse. TO SAFE GUARD THE INTEREST OF THE RAKYAT.
ReplyDeleteNo need Indian drama tales on this blog.
ReplyDeleteJust look at Hindraf, itself a drama in action!
Indians should just go ABU, no need to be confused by tall tales from Hindraf!
Only in bolehsia even in time of real crisis we the fxxx up rakyat cannot get real and accurate news from our pariah news media. All our fxxx up media is good at is stir up racial hatred, play politics, tell lies and talk cock. Make their editors Dato pay them salaries that runs into millions of ringgit to tell good stories about United Melayu Not Original.
ReplyDeleteWhat’s else can we expect for all this pariah News Media of Malaysia once call Tanah Melayu but now runs by kelings kerala, pakistani, hindi all foreigners but now celup and become Anak Melayu celup not original. Apa dah Jadi Pada Tanah Melayu dan Anak Melayu sejati.
Mahathir is THE FATHER OF MINDANO problem. He spearheaded the Sulus thru Nur Misuari to liberate the Muslim dominated Mindano from Catholic Philippines control. That way, the Philippines will have trouble in their backyard and won't bother claiming Sabah. Mahathir, got our M-16 Rifles disposed and replace it with Steyr. All M-16s was used to train the MOROs and supplied to them. When US Marines and Philippine Army attacked Mindano they found the M-16s which had serial no. that was sold to Malaysian Government. A bunch of TUDM-HANDAU personnel trained the MORO rebels in Sabah coastal area
ReplyDeleteWhat’s happening in Sabah today is but the tip of the iceberg. There is no knowing the loyalties of the hundreds of thousands who were given citizenships on a golden platter. Will any of them join forces with the invaders (who might be related to them) or will they be against the invaders?
ohhhhhh....they are angry because gomen never give them BRIM izzit?
ReplyDeleteHi bro Bernard,
ReplyDeleteJust couldn't hold back from telling you I have just suggested to my PKR election bureau member to consider printing on our election campaign banners/posters: "Ummm...No!, not going to vote for you!". Even better to have a picture of a middle finger (but, this may not be approved lah)
Aha...good idea, right ?
What do you think ?
Regards,
Sam
Sam, thanks for thinking of me. Your mater must be proud silly of you. We usually use the index finger....you must be special with your middle finger like how gays do it. Have fun yah sammy koochi koochi.
ReplyDeleteGood day bro Bernard,
ReplyDeleteIts been a while since we last met. Hope you and family are in great shape.
Noted your point and will catch one of the Ummm...No! guys (gays?) to experiment, then will have the image of the finger that tickles best on our posters...ha!ha! :)
Cheers bro
Please do not confused the Indians with tales from Indians. They are only interested in free handouts.
ReplyDeleteMalaysia is procuring six Hamilton-class patrol ship from USA at a total cost of RM6 billion or RM1 billion per patrol ship.
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile, Philippines also buy the same Hamilton-class patrol ship from USA, but at the cost only RM31.5 millions per ship.
Let’s do the comparison:
Philippines's petrol ship: RM 31,600,000.
Malaysia's petrol ship: RM 1,000,000,000!
This mean Malaysia is paying RM968,400,000.00 extra cost per Ship!
RM968,400,000 x 6 = RM5,810,400,000.00! Where is the money gone??? Masuk siapa punya poket???
Hindraf should just form their own political party to fight for the Indians.
ReplyDeleteThey should not bargain with Pakatan or BN.
