 Singapore's President swearing in Philip Jeyaretnam to the PSC Philip Jeyaretnam has been appointed to Singapore’s Public Service Commission (PSC). As a member of the PSC, Mr Jeyaretnam will be involved in its task of appointing and promoting top civil servants.
Philip Jeyaretnam’s father founded Singapore’s Reform Party, along with co-founder Balldev Naidu.
Balldev Naidu is due to be extradited to the U.S. on six criminal charges, including conspiracy to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization and possession of a firearm.
Kenneth Jeyaretnam, leader of the Reform Party, has published a statement in support of his good friend and alleged arms dealer, Balldev Naidu.
 Haniffa bin Osman Balldev Naidu’s alleged co-conspirator Haniffa bin Osman has already been sentenced to a U.S. federal prison. According to the U.S. Department of Justice, “SINGAPORE MAN SENTENCED FOR CONSPIRACY TO PROVIDE MATERIAL SUPPORT TO A FOREIGN TERRORIST ORGANIZATION AND MONEY LAUNDERING – Attempted Purchase of Surface to Air Missiles, Night Vision Devices, Machine Guns and State of the Art Firearms.“
The case against Balldev Naidu is so sensitive that recently all information and photographs regarding the case have been removed from the U.S. Department of Justice website.
We did find however discover that a person calling himself Balldev Naidu was interested in offering $1 million as collateral for interest, on an Internet site named Go4Funding.
On this site Balldev Naidu represented himself as being from China United Resources, and here is what he wrote:
Balldev Naidu, 7/24/2008 2:11:55 PM

Seems like Balldev Naidu has plenty of money.
Back to the Jeyaretnam boys, Philip and Kenneth
(The excerpts from The Straits Times article by Sue-Ann Chia are in quotes.)
 Kenneth Jeyaretnam “His [Philip's] British mother wanted her two children to receive an ‘English education’. So both Philip and his elder brother Kenneth studied in international schools here and, later, boarding schools in Britain where they did their A levels.“
Philip and Kenneth are members of the privileged class with their private schools, and protected education – out of touch with reality, and away from the reality of Singapore.
“He [Philip] finally found a job with a newly set-up firm, Robert Wang and Woo, headed by his father’s friend, Mr Woo Tchi Chu”
Daddy got Philip Jeyaretnam the job – more coddling.
“He [Philip] moved on to Helen Yeo and Partners, which was run by the wife of former transport minister, Yeo Cheow Tong.”
Philip Jeyaretnam chose to move where he would be more comfortable, with his own kind – fellow elite Singaporeans, the infamous Helen Yeo and incompetent Yeo Cheow Tong.
 Helen and Yeo Cheow Tong “When his father set up the Reform Party last year after emerging from bankruptcy with financial help from both sons, Mr Philip Jeyaretnam attended the dinner to launch the opposition party, along with his second son Quentin, who is now 12.”
Did this inadvertent admission on the part of The Straits Times, imply that Philip supported the Reform Party financially?
(Philip Jeyaretnam’s sons, Quentin and Tristan, have quite nice upper-class names – don’t they?)
“While he eschewed politics, he has not shied away from taking up public positions, the latest as a member of the PSC.”
Philip has not “eschewed politics;” he is a mole within Singapore’s system.
“The reaction from Singaporeans has been predictable. ‘Has he been co-opted by the Government?’ netizens queried after his appointment ceremony last week.”
“He [Philip] sees it another way.”
And so do we.
How can we assume that the privileged Jeyaretnam boys, Philip and Kenneth, are not in it with Balldav Naidu, and his alleged co-conspirator and convicted terrorist Haniffa bin Osman?
Balldev Naidu’s alleged co-conspirator, Haniffa bin Osman, is in the arms trade, even trying to purchase surface to air missiles (for Changi Airport?) – great company for Philip Jeyaretnam of the PSC.
As a member of the PSC, Philip Jeyaretnam will be in a position to promote and veto candidates for Singapore’s Civil Service. He will be deciding on their salaries, as well.
When I worked for Singapore’s Inland Revenue, a highly placed colleague told me why he was consistently turned down for promotion by PSC. My colleague had investigated a particular PSC member for tax fraud. As a consequence that PSC member consistently blocked any advancement for my colleague. Unfortunately, my friend had to follow the rules and never reveal this to the Singapore Government.
The Singapore Reform Party and fellow terrorist travelers appear to have wormed their way into Singapore’s Public Service Commission.

Singapore Reform Party co-founder to be extradited to US on suspected terrorism charges
 Alleged Terrorist Naidu A Singaporean wanted in the United States on six terrorism-related charges submitted himself on Monday to prison authorities in Singapore to await extradition. The Singapore Law Minister has ordered Mr. Balldev Naidu to be surrendered to the US authorities.
This is an unusual surrender of sovreignity for Singapore to extradite one of its own citizens to a foreign country.
Singapore District Judge Roy Neighbour ordered Naidu, 47, to be taken into custody after he ruled there was sufficient evidence for Naidu to answer to the charges he faces in the American courts.
Naidu, who is one of the founding members of Singapore’s Reform Party, an opposition party, recently changed his name from Balraj Naidu to Balldev Naidu last year, possibly to escape detection.
Naidu is wanted by the US government for allegedly conspiring to possess firearms, conspiring to support a foreign terrorist organization, and money laundering, among other charges.
Naidu is alleged to have conspired with another Singaporean, Haniffa Osman, now behind bars in a US prison, for trying to buy weapons in the United States, supposedly for the Sri Lankan rebel group, the Tamil Tigers.
Naidu is said to have acted as a broker and middleman between firearm manufacturers and purchasers and/or end-users. Although allegedly the “end-users” were the Tamil Tigers, the seriousness of extradition might indicate Naidu was dealing with terrorist directly groups which threaten the security of the U.S.
Police authorities learned that Naidu had located his source of the firearms through Indonesia, an Islamic country, and conspired to export them illegally from the United States to Sri Lanka. There is evidence that Naidu had traveled to Hong Kong and Jakarta, and he was in it for the money, as well, as he would receive a commission for his role.
 Kenneth Jeyaretnam Reform Party Secretary-General Kenneth Jeyaretnam has expressed strong support for Naidu.
Kenneth Jeyaretnam, a Tamil and former “hedge fund manager” working in London, recently took over the party founded by his father, the late J B Jeyaretnam and Naidu.
Kenneth Jeyaretnam stated that the party will “stand behind” Naidu, and “The Balldev I have come to know, since taking over leadership of The Reform Party, is a gentle family man and someone who would never intentionally become involved with terrorists or arms dealers…Balldev was a loyal supporter of my father, JB Jeyaretnam and I will continue to support him in my personal capacity.”
Kenneth Jeyaretnam’s brother, Philip, is a writer of gay books, and works in Singapore as a lawyer.
Singapore’s reputation has suffered since the escape of alleged terrorist Mas Selamat, leader of the country’s Jemaah Islamiah (JI), from the country’s highest security prison.
According to Singapore authorities, Mas Selamat “escaped” through a bathroom window. He then walked, apparently in prison garb, through the streets of Singapore, as the police put out an all-points alert. Mas Selamat reached the northern shore of Singapore and swam to Malaysia.
Eventually, he was captured by the Malaysian police. Singapore’s demand for the return of Mas Selamat was turned down by Malaysia, out of fears that he would “escape” again. One must ask – does Malaysia suspect that Mas Selamat sent by Singapore to Malaysia for some ulterior motive?
Singapore has long been a haven for terrorists and criminals, especially from neighboring countries. Conveniently, Singapore does not have extradition treaties with its neighbors.
 Indonesian Liem - AKA... Liem Tek Siong, alias Sjamsul Nursalim, alias Liem Tjoen Ho, fled to Singapore from Indonesia, owing $2.8 billion due to the collapse of his Indonesian, bank. The Chung Shih Ping family fled to Singapore from Brunei as two family members were detained in Brunei for corruption. The list goes on.
The CIA World Factbook states, that 14.9% of Singaporeans are Muslim and that “Singapore is vulnerable, despite strict laws and enforcement, as a venue for money laundering.” And more!
 Daring General Stanley McChrystal Eight U.S. troops were killed on Tuesday bringing the total number of U.S troops killed in October in Afghanistan to 55.
The previous high occurred in August, when 51 U.S. soldiers died.
General Stanley McChrystal (favored son of General Herbert McChrystal) is in charge of the U.S. troops in Afghanistan.
In Afghanistan, McChrystal’s strategy the same as that of charismatic and daring Lieutenant Colonel George Armstrong Custer.
 Daring Lieutenant Colonel George Armstrong Custer For those who may not remember, Custer, surrounded by the Native Americans, was slaughtered along with all his troops in the Battle of Little Big Horn in 1876. The battle has come to be popularly known as “Custer’s Last Stand.”
McChrystal, like Custer, follows the strategy of making daring penetrations deep into enemy territory. Custer did it on horseback; McChrystal uses helicopters to fly his troops into areas controlled by the enemy.
This time-honored strategy of failure was immortalized in 1854 by Alfred Lord Tennyson in his poem, The Charge of the Light Brigade.
Was there a man dismay’d?
Not tho’ the soldier knew
Someone had blunder’d:
Their’s not to make reply,
Their’s not to reason why,
Their’s but to do and die:
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
One of McChrystal’s daring last stands resulted in the worst attack on U.S. forces in 14 months. On October 3rd, 2009, Eight American soldiers and two Afghan policemen were killed, with many injured.
The U.S. soldiers had been ferried into a pair of isolated American outposts in a remote mountainous area of eastern Afghanistan. They were attacked by about 300 Taliban who swarmed out of a village and mosque with machineguns, rockets and grenades.
The battle lasted all day. American and Afghan soldiers finally repelled them, with the help of US helicopters and warplanes – but with the heavy cost.
Most of McChrystal’s work over his 33-year career remains classified. His service as commander of the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC), an elite unit, was so clandestine that the Pentagon for years refused to acknowledge its existence.
As leader of JSOC, McChrystal was well-experienced with the running of clandestine prisons, torture and assassinations. Unfortunately, this did not include any battlefield experience.
Prior to Afghanistan, McChrystal was best known for his role in the cover up that Corporal Pat Tillman was killed by friendly fire. McChrystal was one of eight officers recommended for discipline by a subsequent Pentagon investigation but the Army declined to take action against him.
Now that General McChrystal is losing the war in Afghanistan, he has decided to advise President Obama on what to do next.
It was the daring Custer’s final humiliation at the Battle of Little Big Horn that he was killed by a 5′4″ Northern Cheyenne woman named Buffalo Calf.
General McChrystal runs no such risk – he runs his battles from a laptop.
 Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont. $4 million from the healthcare industry The latest polls show that 65% of Americans are in favor of the public option in the healthcare bill.
The public option would give individuals the chance to choose Medicare-style health insurance provided by the U.S. Government, over private insurance.
The Senate Finance Committee on Tuesday, Sept. 29, 2009, rejected efforts by liberal Democrats to for a public option.
The panel headed by Chairman Max Baucus, D-Mont. rejected two “public option” proposals – by Senators Jay Rockefeller of West Virginia and Chuck Schumer of New York.
This is a major victory for the healthcare industry, and for Baucus, their $4 million dollar man, who decided from the start not to include a public option. When he was running to get elected, Baucus was for the public option. He knew what the American people wanted. Now, he is doing what the healthcare industry wants.
In addition to no public option, the Baucus bill gives $50 billion to the healthcare industry every year.
Cheaper healthcare, and better health in countries with public healthcare
Countries which do have a public option have lower health-care costs than the U.S. They also have a longer life expectancy and a lower infant mortality rate.

The quality of U.S. healthcare is inferior to both the U.K. and Canada, both of which have free public healthcare.
Pay or get fined and risk going to jail
The Baucus bill forces 45 million uninsured Americans to sign up with the insurers, or pay a $1,900 penalty. Those who do not pay the $1,900 can be charged with a misdemeanor and face up to a year in jail or a $25,000 penalty.
Why Baucus and the “Blue Dog” Democrats killed the public option
 Rep. Mike Ross, $1.6 million from the healthcare industry Baucus’ promotion of his version of the health bill makes him the greatest crook health insurance salesman of all time. He has collected more than $4 million from the insurance industry, health professionals, pharmaceuticals, health products, hospitals, nursing homes, and health services/HMOs. He wants to herd 45 million Americans into the clutches of the insurance companies.
In the House of Representatives, the leader of the “Blue Dog” Democrats, who oppose health care, is Rep. Mike Ross. Ross recently sold his $300,000 pharmacy for $1.6 million to the USA Drug chain.
Baucus keeps the healthcare bill off the Internet
As a final touch, Baucus claims it’s too difficult to put the health care bill online as the job would take two weeks. Really? Baucus, himself admitted that “This probably sounds a little crazy to some people that we are voting on something before we have seen legislative language.” Indeed – it sounds criminal. Congress is being asked to pass the bill sight unseen.
Crooks should be treated like crooks
Baucus, Ross, and their fellow travelers represent the healthcare industry – and not the American people. They should have never been elected, and should be impeached and prosecuted as the common criminals they are.
 Temasek - an alluring employer Temasek Holdings, Singapore’s sovereign wealth fund, has found a replacement for Charles “Chip” Waterhouse Goodyear IV – it’s in the revision of its charter!
What Goodyear, or whoever that guy was, could not do, Temasek’s revision of its seven-year old charter will do.
Temasek will get its money out of Singapore as soon as possible, and invest in countries like the United States – folks who really need the money.
According to Temasek, its revised charter is one that “more accurately reflects its investment objectives and relationship with the Singapore Government.”
Sure it does, and let’s see how.
Temasek will morph into an investment company managed on “commercial principles,” something like U.S. bailout recipient, Goldman Sachs.
When Temasek was founded in 2002, its portfolio “was largely concentrated in Singapore,” said Temasek chairman S. Dhanabalan.
 Dhanabalan According to Dhanabalan, this was thanks to Temasek’s “yellow pages rule,” which suggested that Temasek divest itself of any investment that could be found in Singapore’s Yellow Pages.
 Temasek investment tool - Singapore Yellow Pages Temasek’s “yellow pages rule” is something like throwing darts at a map to decide where to invest. With the help of the “yellow pages rule,” Temasek has succeeding in moving about two-thirds of its portfolio to countries outside of Singapore.
Mr. Dhanabalan has now stated Temasek’s new investment rule in one short and nonsensical sentence, “We invest and divest as and when we see value.’”
You divest when you see value?
Sounds kewl, man.
Another change being made is that the frequent ad hoc meetings between Temasek and Singapore Government will be replaced with “more structured once-a-year briefings.”
In other words, Singapore will not have many chances to see what Temasek is doing.
Of course, at family dinners, Ho Ching, Temasek’s CEO, can tell her father-in-law, Singapore’s leader, Lee Kuan Yew all about where the money is hidden going.
There is also a back-up plan.
 Goodyear clone Simon Israel Waiting in the wings to take over Temasek is another foreigner, Simon Israel, quietly appointed as Temasek’s Executive Director.
Simon Israel has an impressive background. He has 10 years of experience with the Danone Group (leading yogurt producer) as Chairman Asia Pacific and a 22-year career with Sara Lee Corporation (pre-baked cakes) across the Asia Pacific region.
With his experience with yogurt and cakes, Simon Israel is ready and qualified to lead Temasek.
He looks like a Goodyear type of guy – Temasek goes for that.
Now Singapore’s leader, Lee Kuan Yew, can say like Marie Antoinette, “Let them eat cake!”
 Dannon Yogurt!  Sara Lee Cake!
Trading with the enemy
 Goodyear  Saddam Charles “Chip” Waterhouse Goodyear IV was with BHP Billiton from 1999 until September 30th 2007.
Goodyear was with BHP back when Saddam Hussein was still in power. In fact, BHP was negotiating with Iraqi oil ministry officials for rights to develop oil fields in southern Iraq - once sanctions were lifted.
The deal was complicated, corrupt, and illegal.
According to Andrew Lindberg, head of the Australian Wheat Board (AWB) “BHP had paid AWB for the wheat on behalf of Iraq in exchange for the grant of oil exploration rights in Iraq.”
In other words, Goodyear’s BHP was bribing Iraq with Australian wheat for oil.
Goodyear’s BHP was trading with the enemy.
In 2001, Goodyear’s BHP handed responsibility for the wheat bribe to a BHP “front,” Tigris Petroleum, which was quietly incorporated in Gibraltar, and conveniently run by two “former” BHP employees. Tigris approached AWB to recover the “debt” which came to $7.8 million.
According to Lindberg, “It was agreed between AWB and IGB [Iraqi Grains Board] that the Tigris debt would be repaid by the inclusion of an amount in the contract price of wheat supplied by AWB to Iraq until the debt was extinguished.”
Lindberg’s words “inclusion of an amount” means illegally overcharging for the wheat.
The $7.8 million “debt” was allegedly hidden in two inflated wheat contracts given to the UN oil-for-food scheme.
In this way, Goodyear’s BHP bribe money was stolen from the UN’s account designated to fund humanitarian shipments of food and medicine to Iraqis suffering under the UN sanctions.
Goodyear’s BHP wanted to get its bribe money back even at the expense of human suffering in Iraq.
To hide this illegal arrangement, AWB set up a “sham” services agreement, under which it paid Tigris Petroleum $7.8m out of the stolen UN funds – the exact amount owed to BHP.
In the continuing fallout from the Iraq oil-for-food scandal, in 2006, Goodyear’s BHP was reported in the press saying: “We did not participate in the oil-for-food program or participate in any oil and gas transactions with the Hussein regime.”
No, Goodyear’s company let its surrogate, Tigris Petroleum, do the dirty work for it.
Goodyear himself told the company’s annual meeting that BHP was “reviewing” its deals with Tigris Petroleum. He has said little else on the matter.
With his connections, CIA, or otherwise, Goodyear was able to avoid any personal or company damage over the matter. Goodyear finally squirmed out of the accusation, as his buddies in the USA and UN said it the deal had involved only a “soft bribe.” A “soft bribe,” and what is that? Apparently, it is a just a plain old bribe, but made by a well-connected person, such as Goodyear.
Goodyear left BHP in 2007, and cooled it for a couple of years, retiring to his dingy office in a run-down part of New Orleans. (Which we covered in a prior post).
Goodyear resurfaced in February 2009 when he was appointed head of Singapore’s sovereign wealth fund, Temasek Holdings.
Certainly Singapore should have known about Goodyear’s BHP activities in Iraq, and of the theft of funds from the United Nations – or didn’t Singapore care? Maybe Singapore did care, as Goodyear was fired from Temasek Holdings on July 22 of this year, but with no explanation.
Once again the talented Mr. Goodyear has disappeared from view.
Today, three members of Singapore’s have tabled questions on the matter, and there will be some polite debate.
Odds are that Singapore won’t be getting at the truth.
Author’s note: Due to our following of the health care debacle in the US, we had not intended to publish this article. However, we received a comment, that addressed the facts of Goodyear’s BHP involvement with Iraq. This very informative comment prompted us to publish this article at this time. A revealing interview of Goodyear on this affair appears on website of the 7:30 Report.
 Town Hall Meeting I received an email from someone who calls himself Dr. Jolley who forwarded an email from Jeanette Nordstrom of the National Center for Policy Analysis .
The subject of Ms. Nordstrom’s email was “Free Our Healthcare NOW! Update,” and stated “Say NO! to government run health care!
Ms. Nordstrom’s email contained links to four PDF files on questions to ask at Town Hall Meetings. These included:
- A 33 page list giving the time and place of forthcoming Town Hall Meetings.
- A list of “Obama Care Talking Points”
- Three pages of Answers to the Nancy Pelosi/White House Talking Points.
- Questions for Town Hall Meetings with questions like, “Why punish working families at a time when so many are hurting?”
I checked further.
The National Center for Policy Analysis (NCPA) www.ncpa.org claims to be a “nonprofit, nonpartisan public policy research organization.”
But is it?
For starters, the NCPA is financed by conservative foundations, including the Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation, the (infamous) Sarah Scaife Foundation, the Earhart Foundation the Armstrong Foundation, and good old nonpartisan ExxonMobil.
Among its claims to fame the NCPA brought together prominent members of the (George W) Bush Administration (Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Richard Perle, Paul Wolfowitz) in the late 1990s to articulate their neoconservative foreign policy, including sending a letter to President Bill Clinton urging him to invade Iraq.
NCPA’s Chairman, Pierre Samuel “Pete” du Pont, IV, is a member of the Republican Party, and served three terms as US Representative from Delaware and two terms as Governor of Delaware. “Pete” is from the famous and powerful du Pont family. Their company, E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company, was initially established as a gunpowder manufacturer and continues in this business today.
So is NCPA really a nonprofit, nonpartisan public policy research organization?
No! It is a well-financed tool of Corporate America, currently inciting violence at Town Hall Meetings.
Corporate America does not care that the per capita cost of health care in the US is double that of the UK and 2 1/2 times that of France, or that people in France and England live longer, or that infant mortality is higher in the US than in France or England. Do those Town Hall Meeting advocates against government health care understand that?
Apparently not.
Are they for more dead babies, a shorter lifespan, more costly health care hurting themselves and small businesses, or are they for the pharmaceutical giants, the insurers, and the people who brought you the Iraq war?
Why are so many Americans being stampeded by the likes of the NCPA, and shooting themselves in the foot?
The answer is the greed of Corporate America.
 New York Times Publisher and big time liar, Arthur Ochs Sulzberger, Jr August 7, 2009 – Media leader New York Times reports, “Wall Street cheered by upbeat jobs report. Economy sheds fewer jobs than expected in July; jobless rate dips.” They lied when they stated:
The government said employers shed 247,000 jobs in July, the fewest in a year. Economists had expected 320,000 lost jobs. The unemployment rate dropped to 9.4 percent from 9.5 percent in June, rather than rising to 9.6 percent as forecast.
On April 6, 2009, I received my regular email from the US Department of Labor, which gives proof to the New York Times lie.
You are subscribed to Unemployment Insurance Weekly Claims Report for the U.S. Department of Labor. This information has recently been updated.
In the week ending Aug. 1, the advance figure for seasonally adjusted initial claims was 550,000, a decrease of 38,000 from the previous week’s revised figure of 588,000. The 4-week moving average was 555,250, a decrease of 4,750 from the previous week’s revised average of 560,000.
The New York Times continued to reinforce its false statement:
The Labor Department report handed investors the best evidence yet that the economy could be climbing out of the recession. Analysts widely consider unemployment the biggest obstacle to a recovery in the economy, which is driven by consumer spending
How can the July unemployment figures be only 247,000, when the Labor Department states that it was running at a rate of 560,000 for the last week in July? Where is the truth? Is it in the Labor Department email, to which anyone may subscribe, or is it in the figures given by The New York Times?
Through its blatant lying, The New York Times is misleading the American people in the worst way.
 Thio (blue arrow) smiling as PM Lee praises her When the New York University (NYU) law school faculty voted to appoint Professor Thio Li-Ann as a visiting professor, they claimed not to be aware of her strong speech against homosexuality in the Singapore Parliament in Oct 2007.
Once the law school faculty was aware of Thio’s biased rant, they did not withdraw the offer because the offer was “based on the strength of her previous works as a scholar.”
That is like saying even though you found out someone you were going to hire is a killer, you continue to extend the offer because of the killer’s “previous good work as a scholar.”
This charade was the work of NYU Dean, Professor Richard Revesz, who is from Argentina.
Thio has stated that homosexuality is a “gender identity disorder,” that “a moral wrong cannot be a human right” and compared homosexual sodomy to “shoving a straw up your nose to drink.”
In 2008, Thio supported the imposition of a $15,000 fine on a free-access Singaporean television channel for presenting a gay couple and their child as a family unit.
Thio has coined the catchy phrase, “diversity is not a license for perversity.” She made this statement in her now famous speech.
In stating her position to criminalize homosexuality, Thio had the full backing of the Singapore government. Singapore Prime Minister Lee spoke in support of Thio’s position against homosexuality. Lee pointed out that homosexuals are not considered to be a minority in Singapore, and, therefore, have no minority rights. Thio sat smiling on the back benches, as smiling Prime Minister Lee heaped praise upon her.
Thio has now sent out a strongly worded 18-page rebuttal to the entire NYU law faculty, stating:
- I am a little tired of the torrent of abuse and defamation that I have been receiving and blatant emotive misrepresentations of my position. [Misrepresentations?]
- What I object to is the coloring of any principled moral opposition to homosexuality as “bigoted” and ignorance or “hatred”. [Thio misused the quote signs – some professor!]
- Let’s be tolerant but not tolerate whom we consider intolerant. That is totalitarianism by any other name. [Getting a little wonky, here.]
- ‘I am tired of this obsessive and narcissistic obsession with ONE of the speeches I made during my 2.5 years tenure in Parliament. [Just like, “I murdered only once”]
- But just reflect on how this makes me feel. I do not feel welcomed as a person; I feel unfairly treated and greatly disrespected. [We would have loved to really disrespect you in New York.]
Somehow, I feel no sympathy for this nutty bitch.
