    Dr. Eric T. Karlstrom : Tavistock, Mind Control, Cults9/11 – New World OrderWebmaster, Dr. Eric T. Karlstrom: Emeritus Professor of Geography, California State University (bio)The Following Introductory Quotes Explain the Present Plight of the American Republic and the World:1) The 9/11 attacks were an inside job by the USAF (US Air Force) and the IZCS (International Zionist Criminal Syndicate). The staged Gladio-style False-Flag attack was the choice selected for the attack on the Twin Towers in NYC and the Pentagon in Washington, DC, on 9-11-2001. This attack was done by the USAF, under the authority of a zionist-controlled Criminal Cabal inside the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) and the Secret Shadow Government (SSG).The 9/11 attack was planned, set up and run by (Jewish/dual Israeli-American citizen) NeoCon top Policy-Makers, Israeli Intel and their stateside Sayanims, utilizing a small criminal cabal inside the USAF, NORAD and the JCS. These are facts that can no longer be disputed by any reasonable person who has examined all the available evidence.And it is exceedingly clear to any reasonable person who examines the pre-announcement of WTC-7 destruction that the whole attack was pre-scripted in London and Israel, and that WTC-7 was wired in advance with conventional demolition charges.… There is now a New American War. It is inside America. It is called the “War on Terror”. The enemy is YOU! It is a staged, Phony War that has been created by the International Zionist Crime Syndicate (IZCS). This New War on Terror has an enemy. That enemy is the American People, You and Me…. This new War on Terror has been socially engineered to provide a continual stream of degradations and provocations against the average American, provoking many… to resist, and causing them to be labeled dissenters.Once they have been labeled dissenters they are put on a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Main Core Terror Watch List, which top insiders know is a targeted assassination list for later eradication of all Freedom-loving Americans who want to restore the American Constitutional Republic.At present, the Main Core list has over ten million Americans on it, and it is growing every day with thousands of new additions. Get a ticket for a driving offense or any arrest (even if later proven innocent) and it is highly likely you will be placed on this Main Core Terror Watch and Assassination list…. Any and all Dissenters are now being defined as “Enemies of the State”. And anyone who wants to restore the American Republic will also be defined as a “Domestic Terrorist”.DHS (Department of Homeland Security) is a terrorist group, hand assembled by American/Israeli dual citizen Traitors and is designed to tyrannize, capture and eventually be deployed against Americans to serially mass murder them. This is why they have been called the New American Gestapo of the Neo-Bolshevik Red Cheka Terror Machine.…..The War on Terror is obviously a Phony. But it has been the greatest boon to the American Defense Complex ever, with many times more net American Taxpayer dollars spent on this war than any other war in history, including WW2 or the Vietnam War.Another way to establish a war is to create and fund so-called foreign terrorist groups. This is a costly exercise that take years and can involve as much work as fighting a war…. But enemies for necessary wars can be created if you have the technological help of a nation that has hundreds of years experience in creating its own enemies. This nation is the City of London (Financial District), a separate nation state like the Vatican, located within England.There is a reason England has been referred to as “Perfidious Albion” for centuries. They have been known for their ability to instigate chaos inside nations they want to control by their standard well-developed strategy of “Divide and Conquer”. They are experts at creating long-term provocations between different nations that have competing economic interests. They do this in order to establish a beach-head from which to control the removal of natural resources and accrued wealth.The nation state Israel was created to serve as a long-term provocation for numerous Mideast perpetual wars. This is why the Balfour Declaration was made. This is why the City of London created the New Israel and took land away from the Palestinians to set up a nation of Khazarian Judaic converts (aka “fake Hebrews”), a racially paranoid group mind-kontrolled to believe the delusion that they were of ancient Abrahamic Hebrew Blood.The IZCS believes in preemptive strikes against Goyim (non-Jews) and their institutions. Judaics have also been mind-kontrolled by zionists (many of whom are not Judaics) to believe that they must hijack the American political system to preemptively crush Christianity and American Goyim Culture.….A SERIOUS SPELL, A RACIAL DELUSION OF SUPERIORITY HAS BEEN CAST ON MANY JUDAICS NO MATTER WHERE THEY LIVE, BUT ESPECIALLY SO AMONG THOSE LIVING IN GREATER ISRAEL, WHERE THE LUCIFERIAN HEX FLAG FLIES. WHETHER TRUE OR NOT, TOP ZIONIST LEADERS BELIEVE THIS HEX FLAG SIGNIFIES THE MERGER OF DEMONIC FALLEN ANGEL BEAST-BLOODLINES FROM ABOVE, BRED WITH HUMAN FEMALE BLOODLINES BELOW. THEY BELIEVE THIS MAKES THEM THE “CHOSEN ONES” OF THEIR GOD LUCIFER, AND SUPERHUMAN OR PART GOD ALSO.Conclusion: The IZCS has hijacked America and has deployed numerous weapons against it now culminating in a phony, staged War on Terror, and if you are an American or live in America, one way or another YOU will soon become THEIR NEW ENEMY. Yes, from here on out if you live in America, you are the designated enemy of the USG and its agents of war DHS, the TSA, FEMA, the Alphabets and the US Military in this new War On Terror (which is a war against the American people who are not in the “federal Family”).If you are a member of the (IZCS-created and controlled) “federal family,” it is suggested that you read and study up on the Night of the Longknives (Operation Hummingbird) and the various purges under Lenin, Stalin and Mao. Maybe you should reconsider (following) the oath you took to UPHOLD the US Constitution from ALL ENEMIES, FOREIGN and DOMESTIC.….Preston James, PH.D., 2014, YOU are THE ENEMY (Veterans Today)2) “Israel was behind all four fronts in 9/11, that momentous event in our nation´s history: 1) The actual terror attacks themselves; 2) the subsequent cover-up; and both 3) ¨the U.S.-led military invasions overseas¨ and 4) the ¨domestic security state apparatus.¨(Hugh Akins, “Synagogue Rising,” 2012)3) “We (Jews and Israel) control America, and the Americans know it.” Ariel Sharon, Israeli Prime Minister, October, 2001, in response to question about 9/114) (9/11) was a mighty operation that was prepared by the special forces of the global mafia to involve the USA in the war against the Muslim world… The global mafia carries out global politics. The USSR collapsed and the same fate has been prepared for the USA. People like the Rothschilds and the Oppenheimers and the Morgans have long term plans.…the entire system of international terrorism works for fascism. There are explosions in Spain, France, Germany, United States, South America, Indonesia, Malaysia, Russia and Iraq. This is worldwide. The conclusion is very simple; The people themselves will want someone like (Chilean fascist General) Augusto Pinochet to rule them… The entire system of international terrorism is pushing humanity toward the reception of a hard fascist regime.Russian General Konstantin Petrov5) “Israel has used America as a whore…. They control our government, our media, and the finances of this country…. Through their lobby, Israel has manifested total power over the Congress of the United States… We're conducting the expansionist policy of Israel and everybody's afraid to say it… They are controlling much of our foreign policy, they are influencing much of our domestic policy. They control much of the media, they control much of the commerce of the country, and they control powerfully both bodies of the Congress. They own the Congress… Israel gets billions a year from the American taxpayers, while people in my district are losing their pension benefits…. and if you open your mouth, you get targeted. I was the number one target of the American Israeli Public Affairs Committee… We have investigated and found 2 separate incidents of AIPAC spying on America….My concern is the taxpayers and the citizens of the United States should control their government, not a foreign entity… But if you deal with the real problems in America, YOU GET TARGETED.”James Traficant, Jr., U.S. House of Representatives (Ohio) (1941-1941; who was expelled from the House and served 8 years in prison for representing the interests of the United States rather than those of Israel and the Jews6) Treason doth never prosper, what's the reason?For if it prosper, none dare call it Treason.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

    The Kuok Group feeds cities, builds skylines, and reshapes borders. From sugar to shipping, hotels to high finance, it powers modern Asia in ways few truly understand.Robert Kuok sits quietly at the heart of this story, a man guided by discipline, driven by vision, and guarded in privacy.He didn't chase the spotlight. He chased scale. From the chaos of war-torn Malaya to the boardrooms of Beijing, Kuok built his empire with patience, precision, and a belief in long-term power over short-term profit.He never raised his voice. But when he moved, industries followed.This is the story of the Kuok Group — how a young man from Johor Bahru, Malaysia, rose from rice sacks and ration books to build Southeast Asia's largest sugar empire and, ultimately, to shape the future of China, one power move at a time.Episode 1: FoundationsJapanese bombs fall over Singapore. Sixteen-year-old Robert Kuok begins a long walk home. He is angry, disillusioned, but determined to change the world.Episode 2: Sugar RushRice built Kuok Brothers Ltd. But sugar? That's what will make them legends. When global prices spike and contracts fall apart, Robert learns the true cost of sweet ambition.Episode 3: Sugar CrashTo move beyond importing sugar, Robert sets his sights on building Malaysia's first refinery. But foreign partners try to box him in. In response, he rewrites the rules - mastering policy, strategy, and global trading - until the Kuok name commands respect from London to Kuala Lumpur.Episode 4: The Sugar King To control sugar from source to shelf, Robert ventures into Indonesia and strikes a deal with a powerful, but unpredictable, ally. But as politics sour, he must fight to hold onto the empire he's built before it slips away.Episode 5: Shangri-LaKuok bets on hospitality. The result? A new kind of empire, one made of glass, steel, and silence.

    Sau 12 năm đàm phán, Việt Nam và Indonesia đã đạt được thỏa thuận về phân định vùng đặc quyền kinh tế. Văn bản được công bố chính thức ngày 23/12/2022 trong chuyến thăm cấp Nhà nước Jakarta của chủ tịch nước Việt Nam Nguyễn Xuân Phúc. Bước cuối cùng là Quốc Hội hai nước phê chuẩn văn bản để có chính thức có hiệu lực và giải quyết những căng thẳng, bất đồng và cùng phát triển khai thác tài nguyên theo đúng luật biển quốc tế. Trả lời phỏng vấn RFI Tiếng Việt ngày 18/04/2025, nhà nghiên cứu Laurent Gédéon, Trường Sư phạm Lyon (École normale supérieure de Lyon), nhấn mạnh bối cảnh quan hệ song phương tốt đẹp là một trong những yếu tố giúp Việt Nam và Indonesia thiết lập được thỏa thuận. Năm 2025, hai nước kỷ niệm 70 năm thiết lập quan hệ ngoại giao. Quan hệ “đối tác chiến lược” có từ năm 2013 được nâng lên thành “đối tác chiến lược toàn diện” vào ngày 09/03/2025 nhân chuyến thăm cấp Nhà nước của tổng bí thư Tô Lâm tới Indonesia. Về kinh tế, trong ASEAN, Indonesia là đối tác thương mại lớn thứ ba của Việt Nam và Việt Nam là đối tác thương mại lớn thứ tư của Indonesia. Mục tiêu của hai chính phủ là tăng kim ngạch thương mại song phương lên 18 tỷ đô la vào năm 2028. RFI : Việt Nam và Indonesia sớm phê chuẩn hiệp định phân định vùng đặc quyền kinh tế (EEZ). Việt Nam và Indonesia có những yêu sách cụ thể như nào ở Biển Đông ? Laurent Gédéon : Các cuộc đàm phán về pháp lý liên quan đến hiệp định tập trung vào việc giải quyết các vùng đặc quyền kinh tế chồng lấn mà Việt Nam và Indonesia đều đòi chủ quyền. Tôi muốn nhắc lại cả hai nước đều là thành viên của Công ước Liên Hiệp Quốc về Luật Biển, được Indonesia phê chuẩn ngày 03/02/1986 và Việt Nam phê chuẩn ngày 25/07/1994. Như vậy, cả hai nước đều công nhận luật biển quốc tế. Sự chồng lấn về chủ quyền giữa hai nước liên quan đến vùng biển xung quanh quần đảo Natuna ở phía nam Biển Đông. Đối với Việt Nam, đường phân định EEZ phải trùng với ranh giới thềm lục địa giữa Indonesia và Việt Nam. Hà Nội dựa vào thực tế là ranh giới này đã được xác định vào năm 2003 thông qua một thỏa thuận song phương. Ngược lại, Indonesia cho rằng ranh giới của vùng đặc quyền kinh tế cần được đàm phán riêng biệt với ranh giới của thềm lục địa. Jakarta lập luận rằng theo Công ước Liên Hiệp Quốc về Luật Biển (UNCLOS), đây là hai vùng biển riêng biệt, cho nên phải được đàm phán riêng. Do đó, Indonesia muốn tính đến đường trung tuyến giữa quần đảo Natuna và Côn Đảo : Quần đảo Natuna cách đảo Kalimantan của Indonesia khoảng 300 km, còn Côn Đảo cách bờ biển Việt Nam khoảng 90 km. Nhưng đối với Hà Nội, việc sử dụng đường trung tuyến giữa các quần đảo là không công bằng vì có lợi cho Indonesia. Đọc thêmViệt Nam và Indonesia đạt đồng thuận về phân định vùng đặc quyền kinh tế Nhiều vấn đề pháp lý khác cũng đã được nêu lên trong quá trình đàm phán, đặc biệt là những khác biệt trong các đường cơ sở được sử dụng để đo khu vực phân định. Là một quốc gia quần đảo, Indonesia được phép sử dụng đường cơ sở quần đảo, tức là các đường thẳng, không nhất thiết phải chạy theo đường bờ biển, trong khi Việt Nam chỉ có thể sử dụng đường cơ sở thông thường chạy theo đường bờ biển. Hai phương pháp cơ bản khác nhau này làm phức tạp các cuộc đàm phán vì Hà Nội cho rằng điều này làm suy yếu vị thế của họ. Bất chấp những khác biệt, Indonesia và Việt Nam cuối cùng đã thống nhất về hai đường ranh giới phù hợp với Công ước Liên Hiệp Quốc về Luật Biển, trong đó quy định rằng thềm lục địa và vùng đặc quyền kinh tế là hai vùng biển riêng biệt cần được đàm phán riêng. Tuy nhiên, do tính chất bảo mật của các cuộc đàm phán song phương, cách thức hai bên áp dụng phương pháp đường trung tuyến để giải quyết tranh chấp của họ đã không được tiết lộ, nhưng không thể phủ nhận rằng đây là một sự thỏa hiệp mang tính sáng tạo, thể hiện bước tiến pháp lý đáng kể trong khi vẫn tuân thủ các nguyên tắc của Công ước Liên Hiệp Quốc về Luật Biển. RFI : Thỏa thuận về vùng đặc quyền kinh tế là bước tiến quan trọng sau hơn một thập niên đàm phán. Triển vọng của cả hai nước sẽ thế nào, cũng như tương lai về mối quan hệ giữa hai nước với Trung Quốc ? Laurent Gédéon : Như đã nói, Hiệp định về vùng đặc quyền kinh tế giữa Indonesia và Việt Nam là một bước tiến lớn không chỉ trong quan hệ song phương giữa hai nước mà còn cho toàn bộ môi trường khu vực. Hệ quả đầu tiên và rõ ràng nhất là thỏa thuận này sẽ chấm dứt căng thẳng giữa hai nước liên quan đến hoạt động đánh bắt cá của tàu thuyền Việt Nam trong vùng biển vẫn được Indonesia coi là vùng đặc quyền kinh tế của họ. Hệ quả thứ hai liên quan đến các nguồn năng lượng trong khu vực này, đặc biệt là khí đốt tự nhiên, một số mỏ nằm ở phần EEZ của Indonesia giáp với EEZ của Việt Nam. Việc làm rõ ranh giới giữa hai vùng đặc quyền kinh tế sẽ cho phép Indonesia tự do phát triển hoạt động thăm dò và khai thác nguồn tài nguyên này. Hệ quả thứ ba mang tính chất pháp lý bởi vì thỏa thuận Việt Nam-Indonesia mở đường cho các thỏa thuận tương tự có thể có giữa các nước khác trong khu vực, có nghĩa là có thể thấy trong việc áp dụng đường phân định kép (thềm lục địa và vùng đặc quyền kinh tế) một mô hình cho các cuộc đàm phán trong tương lai. Hệ quả cuối cùng ảnh hưởng đến Trung Quốc vì đường ranh giới chung do Việt Nam và Indonesia thiết lập chồng lấn một phần với đường chín đoạn đánh dấu yêu sách chủ quyền của Trung Quốc đối với phần lớn Biển Đông. Đọc thêmViệt Nam kêu gọi ASEAN đoàn kết vào lúc Bắc Kinh lấn lướt ở Biển Đông Tuy nhiên, có một thắc mắc về chính sách của Indonesia liên quan đến Trung Quốc. Nhân chuyến thăm Bắc Kinh ngày 09/11/2024 của tổng thống Indonesia Prabowo Subianto, nhiều thỏa thuận đã được ký kết, kể cả hợp tác công nghiệp và khai khoáng, hợp tác thương mại, với tổng giá trị lên tới 10 tỷ đô la. Ngoài ra còn có một thỏa thuận về hợp tác hàng hải, trong đó hai bên cam kết cùng nhau phát triển kinh tế hàng hải ở Biển Đông, bao gồm cả những khu vực có tranh chấp chồng lấn. Tuyên bố chung được đưa ra trong dịp này nêu rõ rằng hai nước đã “đạt được một thỏa thuận quan trọng về phát triển chung ở những khu vực có yêu sách chồng lấn”. Tuy nhiên cho đến nay, tất cả các nước có tranh chấp hàng hải với Bắc Kinh, như Indonesia, Philippines, Việt Nam, Brunei, Malaysia và Đài Loan, đều tránh tham gia vào thỏa thuận phát triển chung với Trung Quốc vì sợ rằng việc đó sẽ bị hiểu là công nhận chính thức các yêu sách của Trung Quốc. Mặc dù Indonesia đã thận trọng khẳng định lại rằng họ không công nhận các yêu sách quá đáng của Trung Quốc đối với Biển Đông, nhưng thỏa thuận giữa Bắc Kinh và Jakarta đã đánh dấu sự phá vỡ lập luận trước đây và cho thấy rõ mâu thuẫn trong lập trường của Indonesia về luật hàng hải quốc tế. Về phần Việt Nam, quốc gia không bị ràng buộc bởi bất kỳ thỏa thuận chung nào với Trung Quốc về các khu vực tranh chấp, vẫn kiên định với lập trường của họ và trong phản đối các yêu sách hàng hải của Trung Quốc. Đối với Hà Nội, thỏa thuận này chắc chắn là một bước đột phá ngoại giao lớn và là tiền lệ pháp lý mà Hà Nội có thể khai thác ở cấp độ ngoại giao. Ngoài ra, thỏa thuận cũng có lợi thế là không đặt Hà Nội vào thế đối đầu trực tiếp với Bắc Kinh trong khi vẫn khẳng định được cam kết của họ đối với luật pháp quốc tế. RFI : Sau thỏa thuận về vùng đặc quyền kinh tế giữa Việt Nam và Indonesia, liệu đã có thể nói đến một liên minh đối trọng Philippines, Indonesia, Việt Nam để đối phó với các yêu sách của Trung Quốc ở Biển Đông không ? Laurent Gédéon : Có, trong bối cảnh Trung Quốc luôn chú ý đến việc không để một mặt trận chống Trung Quốc trỗi dậy giữa các quốc gia ven Biển Đông và rộng hơn là trong ASEAN, thì thỏa thuận Việt Nam-Indonesia mở đường cho sự xuất hiện của các chiến lược tập thể đối phó với những tranh chấp hàng hải ở Biển Đông. Những chiến lược này đáng chú ý - và cũng gây vấn đề cho Trung Quốc - vì chúng được thực hiện theo cách tuân thủ chặt chẽ luật hàng hải quốc tế. Việc này càng giành được sự ủng hộ của cộng đồng quốc tế và củng cố thêm sự cô lập của Trung Quốc đối với các yêu sách chủ quyền tối đa của nước này. Đọc thêmThỏa thuận Việt Nam - Indonesia: Một hướng giải quyết tranh chấp Biển Đông? Cho nên chúng ta có thể thấy những thỏa thuận kiểu này gia tăng trong tương lai, đặc biệt là liên quan đến Việt Nam, Philippines và Malaysia. Đó là một quá trình dài, trước hết đòi hỏi các đối tác tăng cường tin tưởng nhau, và sẽ ngày càng phức tạp hơn vì liên quan đến các vùng biển quanh quần đảo Trường Sa, nơi vẫn được biết đến là trung tâm của các vấn đề địa-chiến lược đặc biệt quan trọng. Ngoài ra, cũng cần lưu ý rằng việc ký kết các hiệp định quốc tế là sự kiện quan trọng nhưng việc thực hiện chúng cũng quan trọng không kém. Và về điểm này, sẽ cần phải phân tích cẩn thận những tác động thực địa của hiệp định Việt Nam-Indonesia để đưa ra kết luận và phát triển các phân tích triển vọng có thể diễn ra. Cho nên, ngoài một liên minh đối trọng giữa Philippines, Việt Nam và Indonesia, chúng ta có thể xem rằng các thỏa thuận kiểu này phù hợp với sự hội tụ lợi ích ngầm hoặc rõ ràng của ba nước vì chúng hạn chế khả năng của Trung Quốc trong việc khẳng định các yêu sách chủ quyền và dẫn đến việc Bắc Kinh ngày càng bị cô lập về pháp lý. Dĩ nhiên Trung Quốc có thể tìm cách đảo ngược để áp đặt quan điểm của họ, nhưng việc đó sẽ làm giảm thêm tính hợp pháp về mặt pháp lý của các hành động, yêu sách của Bắc Kinh. Do đó, thỏa thuận này có thể đóng vai trò là mô hình giải quyết các tranh chấp hàng hải khác ở Đông Nam Á và tạo thành đòn bẩy ngoại giao khôn khéo để thay đổi tình hình trong khu vực. RFI : Việt Nam đã bị Ủy Ban Châu Âu đưa ra “thẻ vàng” về tình trạng đánh bắt cá bất hợp pháp. Thỏa thuận với Indonesia được coi là dấu chấm hết cho tình trạng đánh bắt cá bất hợp pháp trong khu vực. Liệu đây có phải là một kiểu cam kết để cá Việt Nam có thể vào thị trường châu Âu không ? Laurent Gédéon : Vùng đặc quyền kinh tế cho phép một quốc gia tiếp cận độc quyền các nguồn tài nguyên thiên nhiên ở vùng biển và đáy biển của nước đó. Việc phân định rõ ràng không gian này thường giúp tránh được những hiểu lầm và mâu thuẫn trong quản lý nguồn cá nếu các đối tác có thiện chí. Về mặt này, thỏa thuận giữa Việt Nam và Indonesia làm rõ quyền đánh bắt cá của cả hai bên ở Biển Đông và thể hiện sự cải thiện rõ rệt so với giai đoạn trước đây, khi cả hai nước đều có yêu sách riêng, khiến việc xác định tàu cá có vượt qua ranh giới hay không trở nên khó khăn. Do đó, việc làm rõ biên giới sẽ tạo điều kiện thuận lợi cho việc áp dụng các quy định và trừng phạt những người vi phạm, đặc biệt là xung quanh quần đảo Natuna, nơi giàu tài nguyên thiên nhiên. Nhìn chung, kiểu thỏa thuận này có giá trị vì nó tăng cường năng lực hợp tác và quản lý lẫn nhau giữa hai bên. Tình hình này chỉ có thể có lợi cho Việt Nam khi chứng tỏ rằng đất nước đã trưởng thành về năng lực quản lý nguồn lợi thủy sản. Đọc thêmChồng lấn EEZ, nguyên nhân vụ va chạm giữa tàu Việt Nam và Indonesia Không chỉ riêng ở Biển Đông, đánh bắt cá bất hợp pháp, không báo cáo và không theo quy định (IUU) là một vấn đề toàn cầu đe dọa hệ sinh thái đại dương và “đánh bắt cá bền vững”. Đây là lý do tại sao chính quyền Liên Hiệp Châu Âu đã giám sát Việt Nam sau cảnh báo vào năm 2017. Xin nhắc lại, những nước xuất khẩu sang Liên Âu được phân loại và có thể chịu trừng phạt tương ứng với hệ thống mã màu : xanh lá cây, vàng, đỏ, các lệnh trừng phạt có thể lên tới mức dừng hoàn toàn hoạt động thương mại. Do đó, thỏa thuận giữa Việt Nam và Indonesia có thể được coi là một giải pháp đôi bên cùng có lợi vì nó củng cố quan hệ song phương, tránh leo thang giữa ngư dân và cơ quan thực thi pháp luật. Còn đối với Việt Nam, thỏa thuận này cho thấy quốc gia này nghiêm túc thực hiện các cam kết quốc tế và là đối tác đáng tin cậy cho Liên Hiệp Châu Âu.

    "I wish I had 640 days to do this trip, not 64." Bali-based Stuart McDonald, founder of Travelfish, is 34 days into an ambitious two-month overland trip across 18 countries from his Bali home to Leeds in the UK. So, why is he doing it? What has he experienced en route? And what have been the finest discoveries of the journey so far? This week, Gary catches up with Stuart in Tashkent, the capital of Uzbekistan, to track back across his train and-bus route so far, which has taken him from Bali to Jakarta, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Laos, China, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan. Stuart describes the dramatic natural landscapes viewed from numerous train windows. He also tells compelling stories about his encounters with Chinese backpacking culture, entire mountains clad with solar panels, the lowering of a giant Lenin statue, an under-construction China-Central Asia railway, and the cultured urban delights of Almaty. We preview the anticipated highlights of the rest of the trip, including Tbilisi, Istanbul, Bucharest and Budapest, before a rapid dash to Paris to catch the Eurostar to London - and a connection to the journey's end: Leeds. A remarkable journey, which Stuart describes as "exhausting" and a "gruelling mission", but - overall - the "trip of a lifetime".

    Let's be honest. Teaching and learning have changed somewhat over the years, but schools as institutions can still “feel” very similar to how they did when my grandfather was a school superintendent back in the 1940s. So what are some ways we can reimagine school? It takes a real visionary to think outside of this rigid box, wouldn't you say? Our guest on this episode, educator and author Paul Halford, is one such visionary. Paul guides us through his perspective on reimagining schools.Paul Halford has worked in education for over 50 years including 35 in management. His diverse career included Catholic, Jewish, Anglican, Islamic, government, international and alternative schools. He has twice been nominated for National Excellence Awards. In 2004 and in 2006 his schools received National Awards for Excellence and Improvement. He has led International schools in Australia, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea and Malaysia.  Our guiding question for this episode was: “How do educators and schools go about reimagining themselves?”In this show, Paul covers several topics, including:Paul's reasons for writing his book, My Educated Life: Lessons from Leading and Reimagining SchoolsSchools' search for legitimacyPaul's early career working at a parent-designed alternative school in AustraliaThe importance of trust, care, and hope in schools, as modeled by school leadersLeadership tools to promote trust, care, and hopeConnections to the work of school change pioneer Michael FullanThe process of reimagining schools moving forwardResources mentioned in the episode:My Educated Life: Lessons from leading and reimagining schools by Paul HalfordMichael Fullan The New Meaning of Educational ChangeThis episode was recorded on March 20, 2025.Categories: School Life | Leadership | Change  Remember to access our Educators Going Global website for more information and consider joining our Patreon community at patreon/educatorsgoingglobal!Email us with comments or suggestions at educatorsgoingglobal@gmail.com Follow us on LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram or YouTube.Listen on your favorite podcast app: connect from our share page.Music: YouTube.

As the West fumbles with political chaos, rising debt, and short-term thinking, the East powers ahead with vision and purpose. Countries like China, Malaysia, and the UAE are investing in infrastructure, education, and long-term strategy—while the UK seems stuck in a loop of tax hikes, red tape, and broken systems.  In this episode, I explore how global power is shifting fast—and why investors, entrepreneurs, and even families are looking East for opportunities, stability, and growth. What can you do to secure your financial future in this changing world? Has Britain lost the plot? Let's find out. Watch full video at Charles Kelly Money Tips Podcast - https://youtu.be/_5jK8oHuj8o China's multi-billion dollar ‘Belt and Road Initiative' project is linking three quarters of the world's countries - 150 nations through Road and Maritime former silk routes.  Linking countries like Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Pakistan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and more.  They are building it, not talking about it for 30 years like we do in the UK.

America or China?  Who do they see as their friend when China is building trading links while America is ‘weaponizing' the dollar and telling them what to do? Why are more countries applying to join BRICS? Chinese overtook the US as Africa's largest trading partner in 2009. The West (Europe and America) has been asleep at the wheel for decades.  UK previously had strong links with African nations, (many of whom were given Independence after the Second World War as the empire declined), through the commonwealth. But with all due respect to the Royal Family, wheeling out the Queen to wave at the crowds every few years is not enough.  China is running rings around the west.  Unlike western democracies who can only plan as far as the next election, China has a long term vision and strategy.  Look what's happening in the Middle East in countries like Dubai, Qatar and Saudi which are all embarking on massive multibillion-dollar projects to reinvest their oil wealth for their future. They also attracting the brightest and the best entrepreneurs, engineers, scientists and IT people, while the UK is taxing them out of existence.  New World Order?  What do you think? China and many other Southeast Asian countries have a plan. The Middle East has a plan. What is the UK's plan? Tax and spend our money! Tax and spend our savings! Tax and spend our pensions! (Rachel Reeves is doing a Gordon Brown tax raid on pensions.  He bankrupted Britain). Tax business and landlords Tax jobs and employment Tax motorists Tax parents who send their children to private schools! The government is coming after YOUR money! They have already borrowed billions and can't afford to fund their fantasy schemes.  Where is the big thinking and long term vision? Where is the growth, green energy? Really? While they lurch from one crisis to the next, smart people, educated professionals, businesses and entrepreneurs are leaving the UK to go where they are appreciated. Have any of the top ministers ever run a large business? I wouldn't trust them with a market stall? What can you do? As Warren Buffett said, financial education is the key to building wealth. It's the stuff they don't teach you in school.  Learn how to build and protect wealth. Learn how to manage your money. Learn how to invest in assets rather than losing money by lending it to the banks.  Learn about the invisible taxes like inflation which is eating up your savings.  Learn about Gold and Silver, the only real money.

    A couple staying at a well-known highland hotel in Malaysia was given an unlisted “under-maintenance” room due to last-minute booking. In the middle of the night, they heard persistent knocking at the door. A man went for a late-night drive after returning from overseas and ended up on a strange road, only to realize later that his car had been parked over a grave. During a Mid-Autumn Festival, a boy playing with his younger brother saw the reflection of his late grandmother behind him while playing pretend cooking. A new employee encountered a red-clad, floating woman in the sixth-floor toilet of the company’s carpark. A young boy invited 40 classmates to his birthday party, but only 18 showed up. He insisted the others were there too — and even named them — but they were never seen by anyone else. 一对情侣入住马来西亚某著名高原酒店,因临时无房,被安排入住一间系统中未列出的“维修中”房间。深夜传来敲门声; 一位男子出国归来开车兜风,误入奇怪的道路,最终发现车子曾停在墓地; 男子中秋节与弟弟玩家家酒时,通过反光看到逝去祖母的身影; 一位新公司职员在六楼停车场厕所遇见红衣“浮脚”女人; 一名男童生日宴预定40位同学,却只到18人,男童坚称其他“朋友”也来了...

    Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened up 130-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 21,921 on turnover of 5.6-billion N-T. The market closed higher on Monday, as Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing saw its share price rebound to hit the 1,000 N-T mark for the first time in three months. The overall rise was led by the electronics index - which added 0.75-per cent during the trading day. Market watchers say investor attention was centered on T-S-M-C, while other semiconductor and tech stocks were mixed. MAC says 3,100 spouses renounce China residency The Mainland Affairs Council says more than 3,100 spouses from China have submitted proof of renunciation of their Chinese household registration. The statement comes after the National Immigration Agency issued a notice to spouses to submit proof that they had renounced their Chinese household registration in April. The notice stated that spouses from China had until June 30 to renounce (放棄) their Chinese household registration or their Taiwanese household registration would be revoked. However, people having difficulties obtaining such a document have been granted an extension of the deadline or may submit a written affidavit in lieu of (以…替代) documentation. A total of 2,000 have so far applied for postponements or submitted an affidavit. 23 indicted for exporting garbage disguised as plastic waste The New Taipei District Prosecutors' Office has indicted 23 people for their roles in exporting garbage disguised as plastic waste. The prosecutors' office says evidence suggests the fraud ring netted (獲得) more than 49-million N-T in illicit gains. According to the indictment, environmental waste management firms collected general waste and stored it at sites in New Taipei and Changhua County. The waste was then transported to Kaohsiung, where it was compressed, repackaged and disguised as plastic waste and then shipped to Southeast Asian countries such as Malaysia and Vietnam for sale. The suspects have all been charged with violating the Waste Disposal Act. Trump's travel ban takes effect Trump's new travel ban is taking effect as tensions escalate over immigration enforcement in the US. AP's Julie Walker reports. Carney: Canada to meet NATO military spending goals by next year Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney says, Canada will meet NATO's military spending goals by early next year. Carney also said that Canada would diversify defense spending away from the US. The announcement means that Canada will achieve NATO's spending target of 2% of GDP five years earlier than previously planned. Carney says, Canada's military equipment has aged, and only one out of every four submarines is seaworthy (適航的). NATO figures show that Canada is estimated to be spending 1.33% of GDP on military spending in 2023. That was the I.C.R.T.

    Adriano Zumbo is a chef and TV presenter. He is one of Australia's most celebrated pâtissiers and the star of the Netflix TV shows Zumbo's Just Desserts and Sugar Rush. As a popular figure in the pastry world he has garnered many nicknames including, ‘The Sweet Assassin', ‘Pâtissier of Pain, ‘Dark Lord of the Pastry Kitchen' and has been lauded as ‘Australia's answer to Willy Wonka'. Adriano is a regular guest judge on MasterChef Australia and has appeared on Dessert Masters on Network 10. This country boy's first taste of the sweet life was raiding the lollies and cake mix from his parent's Coonamble supermarket. Adriano began his apprenticeship at the age of 15 where his love affair with pastry flourished. An appearance on the first series of MasterChef Australia was instrumental in introducing the croquembouche to an even wider audience and made Adriano – and macarons – a household name.  Adriano has released three bestselling cookbooks, has competed in several prominent international competitions including Coupe de Monde and the Asian Pastry Cup. It is, however, his love affair with confectionery, combined with his Parisian training at institutions that include l'Ecole Lenôtre, Bellouet and Pierre Hermé and which has resulted in a sensibility as delicious as it is irreverent.  Adriano is a favourite on the international events circuit traveling to India, Indonesia, Mexico, South America and Malaysia demonstrating his sweet skills to an audience of devotees.  Creativity is evident in every layer of Adriano's elaborate desserts. Constantly evolving and always considering his next move, cake, or idea, Adriano's infectious energy keeps his fans on their toes. They love it that way, and so does he.  We chat about the creativity, loss of his businesses and the toll it took, his love of creating, crazy macaroons flavours, stress and cooking, getting on TV & MasterChef, tailored needs of the school system plus plenty more!

    JIWA KORUP. 15min., Malaysia Directed by MOHD HISHAM SALEH A low-ranking officer's corrupt leadership is scrutinised, compelling him to confront the repercussions of his unethical behaviour. This raw AI short film delves into themes of power and loyalty, illustrating how even the most reliable individuals can become lost to corruption. Get to know the filmmaker: What motivated you to make this film? I wrote the screenplay in 2020 amidst Malaysia's COVID lockdown, motivated by daily news of sacrifices made by frontline police and the 1MDB scandal revealing pervasive corruption. My aim was to explore what truly compels someone to betray their oath—whether it's power, love, or lust. By incorporating an LGBT relationship, I wanted to illustrate that love can remain untainted even amid profound corruption, and that true affection transcends legal and social boundaries. From the idea to the finished product, how long did it take to make this film? Remarkably, the whole film was created in only 20 days, driven by nearly 20,000 AI prompts. I had written the entire screenplay years beforehand but commenced AI production in early 2025. A close friend assisted with color grading—harmonising rain-drenched blues, earthy browns, and refreshing highlights—and another collaborator crafted the sound design, incorporating industrial percussion, menacing drones, and eerie water-drip effects.

She is HIV negative and reports she had been in good health otherwise. She looked tired and worn down when she arrived in the hospital but is already feeling better. Her blood work is notable for a low hemoglobin and elevated creatinine. Stool studies are sent and Ockam would be confused but Dr Hickam would know what to do.
