Satanic Agreements. Part 1. Sontoloyo series no 44.

1. When PM Anwar signed trade agreements with USA, the responses were vehement.

2. Many said it's a sell out . The MP from pasir gudang, PKRs gadfly, was especially vicious.

3. The MP from machang said the PM signed agreements prepared by Satan.

4. By extension,the PM who signed documents prepared by Satan must be Satan's minion . betul?

5. One is pompous humility disguised as conscientious objection.

5(b) . He raised the issue of non payment of royalties to Kelantan and Trengganu.

6. Good to raise the issue of unfairness of it all but irrelevant to the issue of USA trade agreements.

7. Let the PKR people deal with this enfant terrible or bete noire as the case may be.

8. The other is the classic behavior of a sanctimonious bastard.

9. Using private morality to judge public morality and so thinks he is normally superior.

10. Whose behavior is satanic. The one who wants to maintain the status quo and the one who can possibly cause game changing measures?

11. When God asked iblis, bossku of all Satan's to bow down to Adam, iblis said:-

12. No way Jose,go and fly kite.

13. Why should I, a superior creature made from fire bow down to a low class bozo, made from clay? Are you nuts?

14. Iblis thinks he is superior,cocky and most of all wants to retain the status quo.

15. Just like the MP from machang,who's conceited, thinks he is morally superior and wants to retain the status quo.

16. The hoi polloi, upon hearing he spoke that way think highly of him.

17. That if Nana Non continues to sign the agreements prepared by Satan, the sky will fall down.

18. Mati lah kita semua. We must heed the warnings of the Machang Messiah.

19. So we asked, who is behaving satanic like? Me, I just want to print money in my garage.

20. As much as I dislike Trump, perhaps irrationally,I would be stupid not to accept the game changing provisions in the trade agreements prepared by the emissaries of Satan weeks ahead before the arrival of Herr Trump.

21. Especially the demands to dismantle various policy constraints on free trade, removal of affirmative policy elements, removal of preferential treatment, elimination of institutionalized discrimination, economic apartheid etc.

22. I will discuss that in part 2 of the article.

To invite or not to invite Trump.that is the question. Sontoloyo series no 34.

1. The question is to invite or not to invite trump.

2. Trump's presence will be discomfiting to many .

3. Trump's presence is reaffirming the notion of one power or bloc dictating the destiny of the global south.

4. It's a notion that the global south benefits the mothership country .

5. Helping trump affirm this notion will only make him more cocky and insensitive to the aspirations of the global south.

6. Let's not be a political accomplice. It's as though we need his validation to be relevant.

7. Notwithstanding Trump's 'unpresence' tell the world that trumps wet-dream world of America and its allies determining the destiny of others is fading .

8. Trump's Dreamworld is being replaced by world where there are multiple centres of strength. They are in the Arab world, Africa, India , ASEAN, china, Japan and Korea.

9. They compete not to seek dominance but to offer shared prosperity and a readiness to shape the destiny of the world together.

10. The old model in which the many benefit the few and one bloc progresses at the expense of others is fading.

11. Trump will bring that kind of zero sum mentality to ASEAN.

12. Listening to Anwar letting of steam and giving concessions, will be regarded as depriving America and it allies, the ability to impose it's will. That will erode it's dominance.

13. No way Jose, says the Donald.

14. Tell the world, not Trump alone how Malaysia and ASEAN think about USA protecting the star of David country.

15. For all you know, USA is abetting israel in committing the genocide in Gaza.

16. Gaza is the present day neo Nazi concentration camp and the present day killing field.

17. Probably orchestrated by fuhrer trump and executed by bibi netanyahu.

18. Under these circumstances, not inviting Trump seems a more sensible option. Or in the language of diplomacy, more strategic.

19. Ignoring rather than engaging Trump is a more sensible option .

20. Talking on behalf of ASEAN despite the absence of Trump, signals a number of things.

21. ASEAN is ready to play it's part , as a member of the global south in shaping the destiny of world.

22. Not leaving the script to be written entirely by USA and its allies.

23. Talking to the world, without trump will say clearly that you don't need his validation and his approval. The destiny of countries is not an American monopoly.

24. You are also saying unequivocally, that ASEAN too no longer accepts the notion that one power determines the pathways of other nations.

25. You don't need to talk to Trump about the evil and atrocities USA supports.

26. Inviting leaders from china, Japan's new pm, president of Korea, pm of India, representative leader of Africa and the Arab world is a more powerful message that you USA can no longer determine what's good or bad for the global south.

27. Not inviting Trump is the sweetest of diplomatic insult.

28. Securing the allegiance of the global south countries is more important than grovelling at the feet of Trump.

29. Anwar doesn't have to play uncle Tom saying, but suh, we think your support to Israel is not right.

30. Trump with a bunker mentality will not budge. Talking to him is fruitless.

31. Talking to the world sans trump at the ASEAN meet would demonstrate to USA that the responsibility to shape the destiny of nations is not the monopoly of America alone. It's a shared responsibility among equals.

32. That responsibility is not a function of economic and military might but of dignity. And dignity is not solely owned by USA but by all.

33. In the language of economics we say, while the inclusion of America is necessary, it's not sufficient. That responsibility must now be shared.

34. Provided of course trump has the smarts. At the moment, he can only understand the language of a SNUB.

35. Right now the patron of MAGA and the Proud Boys understands only about newtons (unspoken) 4th law of motion . Newton has only 3 law of motion, by the way

36. The unspoken 4th law reads:-

37. The angle of the dangle of the balls is equivalent to the thrust of the pole at the hole,provided pressure at the breasts is kept constant.

38. A Robert Mugabe will say that.

39. Anwar must look past beyond desiring the presence of Trump.

40. We are not advocating total exclusion of USA from the responsibility of shaping the destiny of the world .

41. But it must abandon the idea that the responsibility is theirs alone but that it must work equally with others to discharge that responsibility.

42. We want USA included and work with us together.

43. We don't want to be accused as trouble makers with anger management issues and always quarrel with uncle Sam.

44. But for now,ignore trump with his coiffed hair and pouffe. Just to tell USA and the west, the destiny of nations is not theirs alone to shape .

45. For these reasons, I think Anwar should ' disinvite' fuhrer Trump.

To be continued .....

Trump,the new world order and it's impact on local politics. Part 2. Sontoloyo series no 32.

1. Let me try to frame the issue more simply .

2. The old world system is where one power dictates the destiny of other countries.

3. The central power decides how other countries should developed. How the economic system- what to produce, how much to produce, how the produce is to be shared .

4. How the terms of trade and tariffs are to be set and so forth .

5. The one power dominates the client states as it were.

6. The purpose of dominance is to make sure the client states serve the economic interests of the central power .

7. For example, trump weaponises the use of tariffs .

8. He uses tariffs as the caveman uses clubs to submits and subjugates others .

9. Countries that capitulate to the tariffs he sets, are good boys 10. Other countries work like clocks and are good to the old system.

11. People who subscribed to the old world system are alarmed, fearful and get jittery when there are suggestions, we don't follow the system.

12. Suggestions like, cancel the invitation. 13. Horrors say those who subscribed to old world system. That would result in dire economic repercussions.

14. We must not offend Mr Trump. We must kiss his ass.

15. Well sirs, the world isn't structured that way any longer.

16. A world system based on control by a single power like USA, is on the way out .

17. This system which relied on colonial like relationship has outgrown it's usefulness.

18. Trump, Marco Rubio and others may have forgotten about this .

19. Instead we are witnessing a world system structured by the existence of multiple number of centres of strength.

20. These centres provide alternative pathways to shared prosperity and respectful cooperation.

21. The transition of a world order, structured along this lines, offer insights into our own domestic politics .

22. Our politics in which one political party behaves like a single power is on the way out.

23. UMNO which behaves like imperial USA determining the fate of the people is no longer pensable relevant and indispensable.

24. Its a Charles Darwin's adapt or perish.

25. UMNO which still cling to the old world system, will perish.

26. Why then still support and cling to it?

27. It uses the big club to impose it's will onto others.

28. MCA and MIC , fellow travelers have found it the hard way.

29. Yet, MIC ever the brickfields hustler, is still trying to lick UMNO's ass.

30. It's still hoping UMNO will throw them a few bottles of cheap toddy.

31. Vigneswaran is probably hoping Zahid will throw some morsels over. Then MIC says it doesn't really mean exiting BN.

32. These people behaved like the unfortunate souls fearful of Trump's adverse economic repercussions, they on the other hand,think the world revolves around UMNO.

33. UMNO is like the one power that has outgrown it's purpose .

34. UMNO thinks it's tri-version of nationalism, religionism and pompous loyalty is the big club it can use to plonk others on the head and impose it's will onto the others.

35. The best way to deal with a petulant UMNO, is to stay away from UMNO and stop supporting UMNO.

36. Go support other political parties that you fancy.

37. These parties may be competing with UMNO not for hegemonism but for cooperation and working together.

38. They may treat you with respect and dignity

39. UMNO treats you as mere digits to plus and minus at elections.

40. That kind of conceited and hubristic attitude come along with believing that you are the 1 centre determining the fate and destiny of others.

41. It's time for UMNO to realize that the world it inhabits where it is the 1 centre that determines the fate and destiny of others, is fading.

42. The actual world coming into being, is one where there several centres of excellence. UMNO is one choice. It is a poor one at that.

Invitation to Trump and a new world order. Part 1. Sontoloyo series no 31.

1. Call it however you want. Face-to-face, eyeball to eyeball, toe to toe, head to head, Mano a Mano etc.

2. There are more cons than pros asking here trump to attend the ASEAN summit in KL.

3. We all know the PM is a brave fellow. His bravery is not disputed. He has history of being defiant . He is willing to endure physical hardships.

4. His haters may beg to differ. They say he is chicken livered. They say he is scared to face Dr Mahathir in court. He has asked immunity against the charges mounted by one Yusuf rawther.

5. The PM mustn't allow his haters dictate his actions. We all know , he marches to his own drumbeat. It's an asset and a liability. Depends on how you look at it.

6 . But if only to prove his detractors wrong, he cancells inviting herr Trump, well that sucks.

7. I think there are a few reasons why he should cancel the invitation to Trump, other than the childish challenges of his haters .

7b. Call it face to face, toe to toe, eyeball to eyeball, Mano a Mano, they are all attempts to straighten the wet thread. To admit that you are wrong in inviting Trump .

8. You have prematurely said you will invite trump. You cannot take back your words like being able to tarik the perahu.

9. Having made the bed, you must now lie on it .

10. It's going to be an exercise in futility. Like bringing coals to Newcastle, pissing up the ropes, be spitting into the winds, selling sand to the desert or selling ice to the Eskimos.

11. Needless to say, the Donald has heard it all. From the world. Each time, it's met with renewed belligerence and arrogance.

12. So, even if Anwar gets into his constipation mode and painfully delivers his protest Mano a Mano in the most diplomatic of language, Trump will be unmoved.

13. Possibly when Trump boards air force one to return to USA, he says this Malaysian PM must be El loco.

14. So the futility of it all and avoiding belaboring the obvious, the PM should cancel the invitation.

15. What happened in front of the US embassy in KL and the detention of the sumud volunteers and how they were treated by the IDF, is a lesson to the PM.

16. The spontaneous action by some people of Malaysia was a reflection of the sentiments of ALL Muslims in Malaysia.

18. That would catapult into a general erosion of support for Anwar Ibrahim. Self preservation is of utmost importance.

19. To avoid the risks of offending all Muslims and others because of their humanitarian sentiments, it's better for Anwar to cancel the invitation.

20. The way our volunteers were treated, which according to some volunteers like animals, show that Israels cruelty and hostility know no bounds .

21. If Anwar persists in inviting Trump his actions amounted to insulting the dignity and self worth of our volunteers. Hardly ingratiating .

22. The inescapable fact is, Israel behaved and will continue to behave that way, because the state is protected and will continue to be protected by USA.

23. Cancelling the invitation expresses our revulsion to USA policies.

24. Under cocky-rich, racist, bigoted and anti Palestine Trump, that protection will continue .

25. A more suitable invitee is china's xi jinping. That would likely deter any adverse economic repercussions from USA.

26. In fact, invite Putin, leader of the EC, Japan and Korea.

27. It will signal Malaysia's and ASEAN nations' readiness and willingness to move away from a world order in which one state or block determines the destiny of us .

28. ASEAN is willing to move to areas of strength which can also provide stability and economic prosperity.

29. It's an old world order vs a new world order. In the old, we are vassal states serving the interest of 1 patron state(USA).

30. Under the new, we can work together with multiple centres of strength determining our future. These centres worked for cooperation instead of for dominance .

31. Perhaps this would allay fears that USA will unleash adverse economic repercussions. It dares not.

32. To put it crudely, if got time , invite Xi, Putin, leader of EC, Japan and Korea

33. It will also show aseans readiness to play a major role in shaping the new world order.

34. Not to mention about Anwar vision. Stop thinking of a bipolar world consistíng of USA and the rest
