Can Lai Persuade Jensen Huang?

How the Emperor is completely NUDE, and he still pretends he is, not, and this late in the “game”, it’d stopped being about WHO bust him, the entire island will sink into power crisis, with the A.I. powerplants getting built here…off of the Front Page Sections, translated…

Jensen Huang had come to Taiwan, caused the whirlwinds, then, headed to South Korea.  During his time in Taiwan, he’d reiterated, “Taiwan needs more electricity”; as he was asked on if the DDP will make sure that there’s plenty of electricity before 2034, he’d returned a cold, “maybe!” on this, the president, Lai stated he welcomes Huang to visit the electricity powerplants, to help him gain more faith in the electrical power provision of the country.

how the local residents protested against the government’s restarting the nuclear powerplants that were originally, pulled, because they’re old and outdated, not to mention, too, dangerous…photo from online

Lai’s check, like how he’d had Chiu’s vouching for him, that he would not walk the path of preaching about Taiwanese independence, it may not be fulfilled.  Not on the fact of how Tseng, the C.E.O. of Taipower had become morally bankrupted in recent years, plus the unprofessional promises made by Laik, it would be a fairytale for the enterprises and their owners to believe that Taiwan can suddenly “have no troubles providing the electricity needed.”

[Full Subtitles] Enough energy for confidence? Lai invites Jensen Huang to “visit a nuclear power… – YouTube

from the station that was FORCED off air, because it didn’t fit to the ideological support of the DDP…

And, look at how last May, Lai had ordered the halt of the operation of the Nuclear Three plant, he was high and called out loud, “We’d reached our goals of no nuclear!”; in March this year, he’d announced, that after assessment, he’d decided to restart Nuclear Three plant, but worked around what he’d claimed from before, “I’m only going by the policies based off of the legally sound, that Nuclear Three has the requirements fulfilled to begin generating again.”  Showing NO remorse for how he’d, gone back and forth, and wasted the country’s resources.  A leader who went back and forth on his claims, who couldn’t keep his words, what makes him think, that in one banquet, he could, persuade the enterprises that he can, magically, produce endless amounts of electricity?

What’s more laughable was, green energy to reach its goal of twenty-percent of entire countries’ power needs, four years ago, the government already stated it was impossible, and now, the DDP stated that the goals will get met by November this year; but up to date, green energy only takes up thirteen-percent of total energy needed for the island.  Lai calls out to Huang, and boasted to him, “green energy already successfully replaced nuclear energy”.  Pray tell, if A.I. has to rely on green energy, how can A.I. run around the clock?

and, here’s the view from the DDP-supportive news network, off of YouTube

黃仁勳離台！賴清德邀參訪電廠　稱「如收邀請非常感激、榮幸」 – YouTube

Lai can even persuade the ordinary citizens, let alone Huang.  Basing off of the rigidness of the government and the Taipower Company, allowing the minority technology companies to build up their own smaller nuclear reactors, may be the way to resolve the shortage of energies that’s needed for the A.I. on the island.

How this FUCKING president continues to BLIND himself on the situation of power shortage, he had his sight set on getting rid of nuclear energy, and, ordered the nuclear power facilities to get taken out of operation, and look at us now, we’re risking power outage, with the temperatures getting higher by the minutes and hours, and, the idiot’s plan of going green is surely to backfire, especially if the A.I. plants are going to get set up here, can you imagine how much MORE power would be needed?  But the FUCKING tyrant wants to get rid of nuclear powered energy altogether, and now, we all, shoulder the consequences of this unwell-thought-out plan of his.

The Disputes on Human Rights Surfaced, Casting a Huge Shadow on “Democratic Diplomacy”

The hypocrisy of democracy that the DDP used to keep the foreign relations intact, this is really BAD, how the DDP is fueling to these warlords’ running their individual countries, but hey, we need all the friends we can get, so…off of the Front Page Sections, translated…

The Taiwanese president a while ago, began an “ambush diplomacy”, through a never-before used method, gone on a diplomatic ties trip to Eswatini in Africa.  In the eyes of the president, Lai and the DDP, this surprising journey “showed the determination of Taiwan and other countries sharing the ideals of Taiwan in maintaining international order”, at the same time, it’d “deepened the connections of the countries’ people, and welfare too.”  Based off of what’s posted on the Foreign Affairs Department website, we listed Eswatini as a “monarchy democracy”, clearly, for the DDP, this WAS, a successful, “democratic diplomatic visit”.

And still, there’s the ripple effect of the president, Lai’s visit that’s still intact.  The South African news media, “The Mail & Guardian” on May 27th, had a special report, disclosing that the Eswatini and Taiwanese government signed a financing deal worth three hundred million dollars U.S., to build the crude oil reserves for tactical purposes, and the incomes, earnings from after the reserves are built, all go to Eswatini.  The Mail & Guardian called this construction proposal project as a “huge gamble”, because the economy of Eswatini is currently on the verge of collapsing, close to half of total population are living in poverty, The Mail & Guardian questioned that this offer benefitted only the monarchs only but disregarded the poverty-stricken citizens’ lives and those who are in need of dire assistance in living in the country.

Toward the questioning of the deal, and related reporting, the spokesperson for the monarchy rebutted, that there’s nothing improper of the plan; the foreign affairs department of Taiwan also stated, that the South African media press’s report wasn’t based off of facts, that it’s libel and slander.

In fact, the effects of the president, Lai’s “ambush visit”, suppressed the truthful reflection of some of the citizens of Eswatini.  A South African doctoral student wrong a long passage at the end of April, stated that the power structure of Eswatini made up of the king, the chiefs, capitals from Taiwan, and the plutocratic of the white people caste system and structure, became the source of oppression for the majority of the locals.  To maintain the power of the king, Eswatini had employed the police training systems by our law enforcement, oppressing the opposition and the workers on strike.  And so, maybe, we can say, that Taiwan is only in diplomatic ties with the king of Eswatini, and not “the people of Eswatini”, and the former would love to see “a firm foreign affairs relation”, but our government, with capitalism, on some level, became the “enabler” to the local.

At the same time, the website of The Diplomat also posted related reports, and exposed the heads of the organizations from our country’s images locally, including starvation, racism, severe physical abuse, preventing the freedom of speech, etc., etc., etc.  The independent press of Taiwan, the coolloud also quoted article from the global social movement news site, PeoplesDispatch that stated that Eswatini is the last country in Africa that’s under absolute monarchy, that the authority this year on the eve of the celebration, had reinforced oppressive measures against the democracy activists, with the warrants of their arrests, arrests, and the oppression toward the guilds, the student organized movements.

And coming clean, the above described incidents by the media, is completely opposite of what Lai and the foreign affairs of this country stressed, “sharing the powers of kindness with the world”, and it’s very, ironic.  The diplomatic affairs are for the sake of setting up a good image, implementing the values and the ideals, but behind the birds-of-the-same-feather connection of Eswatini and Taiwan, there may be the coverups for too many scandals, and this showed how Taiwan is on the opposite side of the rights, benefits, and welfare of the people of Eswatini.  Taiwan had always cared about the international perceptions of the country, and now, the “dark side” had surfaced, not only did it cover this diplomatic relations visit with the blemishes, it may hugely impact the image of Taiwan being democratic or promoting democracy to the world.

Other than that, based off of the latest poll of Al Jazeera, as the war started in Gaza by Israel, Taiwan, along with the U.S., India, Romania and Czech, had been listed as the “global five major military related resources”.  Actually, an investigation by a committee of U.N. found last September, that Israel had committed genocide in Gaza, and accused the PM of Israel, Netanyahu and other related for instigation; even, the International Criminal Court had put an “active warrant of arrest” on Netanyahu.

For long term, Taiwan worked so hard to show the world that we are “diplomatic in foreign relations”, and now, the country sank to acting oppressively, to even becoming the accomplice of genocide.  The only ideological route to diplomatic affairs that the party in power is using, caused Taiwan to get closer to the sins against humanity.

So, this is how the DDP, grabbed on tightly, to the dying number of diplomatic ties that this SHITHOLE has, because the number’s dropped to the single digits, and in desiring to not push those countries that still had diplomatic ties with “us” (nope, still NOT a part of that “collective”!), the DDP is willing to go the distance, to SUCK up, to PLEASE these countries, and by donating all our assets to these FUCKING tyrannies, the DDP thinks that we will forever have “friends” in the world to BACK us up!

Taiwan is No Longer the Ace, How will We Take Care of Ourselves

As this SHITHOLE country is on its way of getting, traded out by the daddy that we get down on “our” knees for…off of the Front Page Sections, translated…

The Strait Relations became a major issue of the Trump-Xi Conference, involving the benefits and interests, other than the unification or the independence, geopolitical factors, there’s also the added advance microchip technology that came into play, the tension is now, so high that nobody wants to get involved, and nobody can get, involved.  Therefore, Trump who wants to emphasis his good relations with Xi, still continued to sell even more weapons to Taiwan, and he’d even wanted to consolidate the first chain island countries of Japan, South Korea, and the Philippines into an “Asian N.A.T.O.” too.  While for the Chinese Communists, from Mao, to Deng, to Xi, so long as Taiwan doesn’t declare its independence, China used the milder stance of “keeping on each side of the fences”.

Since September 11th, the U.S. started focusing more in the Middle East, at the same time, it sought out cooperation on matters of economics, trade, anti-terrorism, North Korea, and Iranian nuclear capabilities.  And now, twenty-five years later, China is no longer what it once, was, however arrogant Trump is, he has to, cave to reality.  Besides, this has “deal” written all over it, in the National Security Strategy of last year, the U.S. evaded competition with China, and now, Trump commended Xi as “a great leader”, and described the U.S.-Chinese relationship as “interesting”.

what this SHITHOLE, became, and what’s worse, we don’t even get the “payout”!!! Photo from online

As for the strategic of Trump’s show off to China, bringing dozens of heavyweight C.E.O. of American enterprises, this is more like a passive objection as the powers are about to, switch hands.  With the U.S. hitting sunset in his world power status, China rising up, but the rest of the world’s countries can acknowledge that it will be the leader, this led to the rise of the mid-level power countries to league together, to dodge the risks, Taiwan, with a high tactical value, can we only, “lean on the U.S. to seek out the independence of our country”, like how our communication-technology industries had been, sourced out, even the military purchasing of $1.25 trillion, with U.S. delaying the delivery, the government led by the DDP pressed the budget to get passed.

When Taiwan is no longer the ace, how do we situate ourselves?  Or maybe, I shouldn’t worry too much, because the Trump-Xi meet of today or in the futures, the party in power, other than clinging on tightly to our “owner” the U.S., we’re, ready for anything that comes our, way!

So, this last “bit” was the writer being, SARCASTIC, with everything already SOLD out to the BIG DADDY, we are officially, a risk to the major world power of the D.S.T. right now, because this DDP government leaned too hard on the D.S.T. to protect us, with the D.S.T. only intending to, DRAIN this FUCKING SHITHOLE completely dry, and ultimately, this IS, a case of a put-up job.  This FUCKING shit hold had been, completely, sold off, and we will get clawed down (like Ukraine!) with the D.S.T. and China, sharing the “loot”!

this is what this SHITHOLE is, on the, right! Photo from online

As Trump is Being Booed, He Has the Audacity to Cry to the People that the U.S. Had Won the U.S.-Iranian War

Trump still talks OUT of HIS ASS here, despite what the FACTS showed, see how much the D.S.T. (no longer the U.S.A.???) had LOST, in money, military forces, etc., etc., etc., with Trump’s overriding Congress’s power to declare war, and went HEAD in first to Iran?  This is WHAT the DIVIDED STATES of Trump, under TYRANT Trump is, whatever the FUCK (so???) he says, is the LAW, and you slaves over there (the great big pond???) are enabling him…off of the Front Page Sections, translated…

Trump made the announcement to the leader of the American Congress, that he’d ended the hostile movements toward Iran.  Now, the rest of the world are watching, looking to see when the Iranian War will finally end?  When the Strait of Hormuz will no longer be under embargo?  When the gas prices are going to return back to, before?  Trump used his proud egotistical manners, told the Americans, that U.S. won in the Iranian War.  But, the news media of the entire country did not hooray over the performance of the U.S. military in the U.S.-Iranian War, instead, there’s the ridicules from the news media press in the U.S., it’s believed that U.S. may have won in the military warfare generally, but on the tactical, and geopolitical fronts, U.S. is the biggest, loser; the U.S. had won every battle, but lost the whole, war.

still BOASTING how the D.S.T. is winning, how the D.S.T. had totally BOMBED up everything in IRAN…and yes, the link works.

Trump says it’s “treasonous” to say we’re not winning the war in Iran – YouTube

With many countries just standing by and watching, believing that the U.S. is all bark and no bite; the PM of Germany, Merz stated it bluntly, that the U.S. was “humiliated” by Iran, it’d angered Trump, and he’d recalled five thousand U.S. military personnels back from the U.S. military bases in Germany.  The highest leader of Iran, Mojtaba mocked Trump, that U.S. had sustained a “humiliating defeat”.  The U.S. had no justification to enter into the war, and up to now, the polls showed that more than sixty-percent of citizens in the U.S. opposed it, especially as the war brought the rising costs of gas, the risk of economic decline, worrying the citizens in the U.S. the most.

The past presidents, Jensen, Bush Sr., George W. Bush, all involved the U.S. into the Vietnam War, the Persian Gulf War, the War in Afghanistan, the War in Iraq, and their polls were very high before the war began, and during the wars, their supports got to an all-time, high; only Trump’s polls, had gone the opposite directions, the rally-round-the-flag effect had diminished.  And now, all the states in the U.S. is setting up for the primaries of the mid-terms elections coming up at the end of the year, and because of the war, it allowed the Democrats to have a winning chance, with Republican candidates expected to lose big, which won’t benefit Trump at all.

In recent years, the U.S. used the huge axe of it being a major world power, bullied every country in the world, using its overpowering military forces, to force the country it went to war with to surrender, or simplifying the adversary countries into “evil regimes”, as the U.S.’s most widely used trick, but it’d disregarded the historical richness of the countries that it went to war with, the complexities in social structure, and nationalism, which caused the U.S. to trap itself in the lethal vacuum of, awareness.

“watch how I’d bombed UP the nuclear facilities in Iran”, so stated the KING!!! Photo from online

The American-Iranian war is exactly like this, the U.S. lacked an in-depth understanding of the toughness of Iran, the geopolitical, the theocracy, along with the relations of Iran with its neighboring countries, and sent the military into Iran, to the end, the U.S. is, losing the war.  The victory of the wars isn’t determined by the country with the precisions of missiles, but the histories, and the human nature behind these, wars.  History does not repeat itself, but the same mistakes are being made repeatedly, for the individuals, the countries, too.

And so, this lists out WHY Trump is destined to lose BIG in the IRANIAN WAR that he got U.S. involved in, because he is too fucking (so???) shortsighted, and only has his sight on the prize (the oil reserves of Iran???), and without coming up with a thorough plan of attack, not to mention how there’s NO justifications of U.S.’s attack on Iran, and he went in head first, into war, to DESTROY what he perceives as a THREAT to the D.S.T. (no longer the U.S.A.), he is way too impulsive, like that kid playing with a LOADED gun, and BOOM, he’d fired a SHOT, and, but a huge hole into the global world, and he still thinks he’d won.

This is HOW DELUSIONAL the D.S.T. AUTHORITARIAN elect is! And you IDIOTS are the ones putting him in that leadership position, when he’s only a SERF (from the Medieval times???)…

Trump Retracted His Hand, Claiming there’s Progress in the Negotiations with Iran, Iran Denied it, Mocked that the U.S. Stated it, to Get the Prices of Crude Oil to DropTrump Retracted His Hand, Claiming there’s Progress in the Negotiations with Iran, Iran Denied it, Mocked that the U.S. Stated it, to Get the Prices of Crude Oil to Drop

The Emperor who cried, WOLF here, again, this IS the “embodiment” (you can call it that!) of T.A.C.O., off of the Front Page Sections, translated…

On the 23rd, the American president Trump stated, he is currently in negotiation with Iran, that they’d reached agreements on major issues of U.S. taking control over the nuclear power resources and other, that’s why Trump had delayed the air-raid on the powerplants in Iran, and the energy facilities for five days.  The government owned news media in Iran denied that the country had been negotiating with U.S., and mocked Trump that he’d chickened out because there was a chance of Iran retaliating against the U.S.

here, the Trump gets his, SOLILOQUY…off of YouTube

Conflicting narratives as Iran denies Trump’s claims of peace talks amid war – YouTube

Trump posted on the 23rd, that in the past two days, Iran and the U.S. had resolved the rivalry between them in the Middle East, that they’d made progress in the talks.  Trump said, due to these in-depths, constructive, effective talks, and the ongoing discussions this week, the Department of War of U.S. had been ordered to slow down the military raids against the powerplants and energy facilities in Iran, for five days, but this “is reliant on if the ongoing negotiations are, successful or not”.

On the 23rd, Reuters reported that the Iranian government owned press media agencies quoted the officials, that Iran and U.S. hadn’t engaged in direct conversations, nor did the two negotiate with a neutral party between them, that Trump chickened out, because he’d heard that Iran will be targeting all the electricity generator plants in western Asia.

Trump Announced a Five-Day Delay in Bombing of Iranian Powerplants

The foreign affairs department of Iran also denied that Iran had negotiated anything with Trump, but mentioned the regional plans that might, reduce the tensions.  The foreign affairs department of Iran stated, Iran “is firm in its position, and will refuse any negotiations until Iran has won the war”, and claimed that Trump’s claims was aimed at “lowering the cost of energy, to get more time to implement the military advancements into Iran”.

Although Iran had denied that there was any negotiations, Trump still told the press at West Palm Beach Airport to the press, that in the conference on the evening of the twenty-second, the U.S. and Iran had “reached consensus on most of the major issues.”  Trump said, Iran had started up the conference, “I would say that the negotiation is going well, if they can keep on pushing forth, it will cause the problem to go away, end the, conflict.”

and here we have, the REBUTTAL for Trump’s BULLSHITTING claims that the war is ending in Iran, off of YouTube

Ceasefire or Confusion? Trump–Iran Narrative Clash Goes Viral 🎭 – YouTube

Trump said, his specialist envoy, Witkoff and his son-in-law, Kushner were both present at the negotiations, but he didn’t specify which of the Iranian government official he’d negotiated, with only mentioned that he was a “respected leader of Iran”, but it wasn’t with the highest leader of Iran, Mojtaba.

Trump said, “they are eager to reach the agreement, we hope to too”, that on the twenty-third, there will be more negotiations, that “shortly” after that, there will be the face-to-face conference between U.S. and Iran.

He said, “we’d set a five-day grace period to see how things go.  If all is going smoothly, then, we will, resolve this; otherwise, we will, continue to, air raid.”

Trump stated, that in any agreement, he will demand that Iran not obtain any nuclear weapons, “we want there to be no nuclear bombs, no nuclear weapons”, the U.S. will also take over control of the high concentrated uranium resources, “we will have those nuclear materials.  I believe we will have it, and we’d, made an agreement based off of this.”

This sounds, more like Trump, giving himself a way to, step off that ladder that leads to U.S.’s HANGING, we already KNOW that he has the tendency to BULLSHIT, just to make himself look and appear better than what the reality of things is, and so, this is his side of what’s happening, and I’m more than certain, that Iran won’t give up fighting that easily, but hey, it makes Trump feels that he’s not completely, POWERLESS, so the self-deception, works, but this is too far from reality, I mean, Iran had BLOCKED off of the LIFELINE for the shipments (that’s the Strait of Hormuz???), and, how can Trump call that a WIN?

Here, we see how DELUSIONAL he gets, just to keep himself on that, HIGH PEDESTAL!

Before Bed, a Poem

How we try our hardest, to make ourselves, believe in something, and it will work, if we reinforce these thoughts, enough number of times, we end up, fooling ourselves…translated…

Sometimes, I Believe that the Clouds would, Arrive

Is More Difficult than

How the Rain would, Go, Away

As I was Taking a Short Break

I’d Extended My Arms Outward

Attempted to Feel the Sensations of My Ten Fingers

The Tip of the Anchor

The Soft Belly of Considerations

Sounding Like the Raindrops

With the Extensions of the Ellipsis

My Palms Were Once Clouds from a Certain Region

With the Dents

But Unrelated to Fate

This is Quite Nice

After all, I’d Patted the Seasons Like This Many a, Times

Regardless, Every Time

I’d Closed My Eyes in the Dark of Nights

I Could Feel the Clouds, the Rain Too

Sometimes, Believing that the Hardship is Coming Toward Us

Makes Us Feel Better than

Believing that it, isn’t

So, this is on, how we, convince ourselves of something that isn’t true is, and this, ultimately goes to how we don’t want to deal with, whatever it is we don’t, we’re not yet ready to, deal with, and so, we tell ourselves………

Got Too Good at, Hiding…

We all got too good at, hiding, hiding our problems, keeping them hidden, from each other.  Got too good at, hiding, this is, how we’d, coped, how we, managed in our, so-called, marriage…

Got too good at, hiding, these, spots of mold and mildew, until they’re, completely, TOXIC, and impact our, lives.  Got too good at, hiding the truths, of our own selves from, one another, we’d, consented this, silently, or rather, we’re, using the attitude of “I don’t see, I don’t know”.

like, this…photo from online

Got too good at, hiding, until these things, finally, exploded in our faces, and, it all spilled, like that huge wildfire, that can’t be, extinguished, because it’d, spiraled out of control, gotten out of our, hands.

Got too good at, hiding, that’s how we’d, coped, pretend that the oversized elephant is invisible, that we just need to, tiptoe around this huge whatever, and keep on pretending that it doesn’t, exist…

That is how we, fool our, selves.

When You Need to Belittle EVERYONE to Make Yourself Feel Good about Yourself

You need to push someone down, to feel better about yourself, that’s how you were, raised…and over time, this became, your, character!

When you need to belittle EVERYONE to make yourself feel good about yourself, yeah, making others feel inferior to you, lifts you so high, doesn’t it?  But that sense of higher than all of others, doesn’t last long enough, so you keep on, putting everyone around you down, to feed to your sense of, self-importance.

When you need to belittle EVERYONE to make yourself feel good about yourself, eventually, this putting those around you down will get old, and they (those around you!) will figure you out and, stop dancing on your, tunes.

And then what?  You’d run out of your own, tricks, and left with, N-O-T-H-I-N-G!

‘Cuz eventually, you WILL get, MADE, and, nobody will, fall for YOUR bullshit again…

The Tabooed “Disease of Taiwan”

How this “country” (stopped being one since Tsai’s REGIME took over EIGHT years ago???) had, “deteriorated”, “atrophied”???  And the DDP, in need to feel good about itself, still REFUSED to acknowledge the FACT, that they’d FUCKED UP this “country” (stopped being one!)?  This HELLHOLE is RULED by the DELUSIONAL all right!  Off of the Front Page Sections, translated…

The report of The Economist’s “The Hidden Risks of Prosperity in Taiwan” had pointed out the long-term problem Taiwanese economy is faced with structurally: with strong exports, but not enough production within the country, the earnings of enterprises increasing, but the enterprises refused to raise the wages, the funds of the companies are huge, but they flowed to overseas investments.  And therefore, despite how pretty the digits in economics appeared, the people don’t feel the prosperity.  And thus, “The Taiwanese illness” reflected the situation of “the numbers looking bright but the people feel stagnant”.

The article points out, that the root of “Taiwanese illness” being the low rate of exchange for the New Taiwan Dollar, which caused the DDP and the flanks to criticize.  Some even stated, that the economy of Great Britain isn’t as prosper as Taiwan’s, what right have they to criticize?  This refusing to accept another’s opinions and the reaction of the community as a whole, is also, an aspect of the Taiwanese illness.

The duality of low rates in the country comes from the structural settings long-term, we can discuss if the rate of exchange is too low, but the risks that comes with the related effects can’t be, ignored: the stasis of payrate, the rising costs of housing, the hidden risks of the financial institutions.  No wonder once the article had been posted, it’d caused the resonances from the scholarly, and the society.  But, if the new Taiwan Dollar’s instability is caused by the pressures from the U.S., that would leave the exporting and insurance industries ill-prepared.

The foreign media’s warning to Taiwan wasn’t just recent.  In January, The Financial Times pointed out that Taiwan had silently become the “powerful debt markets”, and reminded of the possible risks of this.  The October issue of Times Magazine criticized Lai as a careless leader, and the author of the article was condemned, even the Central News Agency employee who’d translated the article was reprimanded.

In the past when the foreign news media commended Taiwan, the country started promoting; but recently, whenever the foreign news media said something that the DDP disliked hearing, the agencies got labeled as “with ulterior motives” or “not knowing Taiwan well enough”.  This sort of “only allow the good, not allowing the exposures of the bad”, showed how the government lacked the awareness of its own illness, and the refusal to introspect, and the disease will only worsen, because the country refused to get the needed treatments.

And this is all due to how the DDP needs to feel good about itself, DESPITE what the FACTS showed, how “we” (not a part of this collective here) were once the Pacif Tigers, back in the 1960s when we were ranked number one and two, and now, look at where we “landed”, under the DDP’s REIGN of terror?  And we still believe in these mother FUCKERS (don’t pardon me!) bullshit, about how we’re all okay, that we are wrapped in that protective bubble of BULLSHIT under DDP’s tyranny?  Need I remind you, how we went from Taiwan can help to who will help Taiwan during the last president elect, Tsai’s terms, all because the FUCKING government is too proud, with its big head, shoved ALL the way UP its own ass, that it can’t see clearly?

The Air, My Friend

On the observations of the situations taking over the lives of the people of this “country” of ours, of HOW people follow the DDP blindly, and those who see can’t understand W-H-Y!!!  The column by Jimmi Liao, translated by me…

He Has His Blinders on & Can’t See,

He Plans to Sweep the Leaves Not Seeing.

Every Day there are a Ton of Leaves to Sweep,

Just as He Finishes Sweeping, More Leaves Fell,

artwork of Jimmi Liao, courtesy of UDN.com

And, Seeing How there’s Endless Amounts of Leaves to Sweep Up

Why Does He Sweep Every Single Day?

He Wants to Wear the Blinders to Sweep the Leaves,

I Really Don’t Want to Know, Why………………

So, from an outsider’s (the seeing person’s) perspectives, the behaviors of the followers of the DDP is, stupid and confusing, because some of us are on the outside looking in, which means, WE get a CLOSER look at things that are, going on, while some of us are, TRAPPED inside, and we don’t got a single CLUE of what we’re doing to ourselves, and this, is what this, is about…
