Year-end summary: a year of scams
In hours' time, Singapore and the rest of the world will pass 2020 and enter 2021. Many people like to look back at how the past year has passed and what memorable things have happened at the end of the year.
However it is ironic to read an inventory article in The Independent today, with the headline,“2020, a year shrouded in conspiracy” (I suggest turning it into “2020, a year of scams”, To say that the conspiracy is a bit exaggerated, and the content should not be considered a conspiracy). This translation is a bit poetic. It means 2020 is the year of scams and scams means scam and fraud.
The article first talks about the impact of the epidemic on the economy. Because of this epidemic, many people work at home, and many people have lost their jobs. People live in fear and fear of their future economic conditions. During this period, some "frauds" have emerged.
For example, the U.S. General Administration of Taxation and Customs reported more than 15,000 "fake web pages." Among them, there are some fake "self-reporting" websites that provide people with fake "tax refund information." After people log in, these websites will use people's banking information to steal it.
In addition, there are some websites that take advantage of people's attention to the epidemic. For example, during the epidemic, some websites describe themselves as being related to the CDC in the United States so that people can use this website to inquire. Besides the list of infected people, these malicious websites have a strange feature, that is, requiring users or traders to pay in cash or Bitcoin.
There are also Facebook and possibly WhatsApp scams. In these scams, users of Facebook left messages on news, disputed negative comments on work-from-home investment schemes and referred users to experts that claimed they are able to help people earn more money ten times in a week from online trading. People who are zealous to learn new skills in online trading turn up on the experts' Whatsapp pages and follow them step-by-step to invest and boost profits. Never did they know in order to get the profits and refunds they need to pay service fees in Bitcoin many times to protect their profits. These turn out to be new investment scams when people eventually find out that they have to borrow money to pay debts to the banks as a result of their Bitcoin expenses with no guarantee.
What has happened this year is devastating to many people.
The nearest "fraud" scam occurred just past Christmas.
The article says that while people are shopping online, someone will forward emails, messages, and ask for sensitive personal information, credit card details, etc. Police and investigators warned the public to beware of these malicious websites.
There are also various situations because people have lost the opportunity to communicate face-to-face, giving criminals more room for evil.
Many people have encountered a lot of troubles this year. How can we get rid of these bad luck? While many people will be out trying to take snapshots of beautiful fireworks, many people are remaining at home to watch live fireworks on television. People take this opportunity to write down any unpleasant, embarrassing, bad memories and bad luck in the past year, and so on.
In fact, in the final analysis, many of the troubles are still caused by SARS-CoV-2 (CCP virus). Without the impact of the CCP virus, there would be no such later troubles. Where did the CCP virus come from? Nobody knows but what is known is that the CCP virus is inextricably linked to the CCP.
Staying away from the CCP seems to have become the best medicine to stay away from this virus.

Shenyang enters wartime state, Chinese vaccine "let the leaders fight first" against CCP virus
The sharp drop in temperature caught people off guard, and the ferocity of the epidemic exceeded many Chinese imagination.
Today, Shenyang City, Liaoning Province, held a press conference on the epidemic, saying that in response to the current “severe and complex” epidemic situation, Shenyang City initiated an emergency response and entered a war-time state in an all-round way; the authorities required closed management of all communities where confirmed cases live in the city. The number of people in closed management exceeds 17,000.
In addition, Shenyang also strictly controls the number, scale, and time of large-scale conferences, and requires closed management of the entire process of related conferences. All group worship and large-scale condolences, parties, dinner parties, training and other activities will be cancelled. In principle, the number of consumers accepted in performances, indoor entertainment and other places cannot exceed 75% of the approved number.
Up to now, there are 5 epidemic-risk areas in Shenyang, namely Hongda Community, Beiling Street, Yuhong District, Shenyang City, China Resources Oak Bay Phase II, Jiye Baihuayuan Community, Huanggu District, Shenyang City, and Zhonghai in Yuhong District City constellation community.
In Dalian, Liaoning, the epidemic is even more serious. Today, Dalian has added 4 additional medium-risk areas, bringing a total of 16 medium-risk areas.
However, in the face of the menacing epidemic, the Chinese people are still skeptical of domestic vaccines, and calls for "let the leaders fight first" are one after another.
People are worried for a reason, because the news of China's CCP virus vaccine and vaccine fraud has not been interrupted in the past few years. In March 2010, nearly a hundred children in Shanxi Province died or became disabled after being vaccinated, which caused widespread concern in the society and was called the "Shanxi Vaccine Incident." In 2017, the DTP vaccine produced by Changchun Changsheng Biotechnology Co., Ltd. was found that the potency index did not meet the requirements. Less than a year later, in July 2018, this company was exposed to fraudulent records in the production of rabies vaccines.
On 22 December, Zhang Wenhong, director of the Department of Infectious Diseases at Huashan Hospital affiliated to Fudan University in Shanghai, said at the meeting, "I personally think that if you want to fight now, you must fight first."
The Epoch Times learned that Shanghai Yangpu Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine conducted a thorough investigation at the end of November, and more than 90% of medical staff refused to receive domestic vaccines.
Mr. Zhou, a resident of Anhui, said to VOA, “If I were to be vaccinated, I would definitely not be the first one, because this vaccine is not yet reliable and needs to be internationally recognized. It is internationally recognized that this Chinese vaccine can be used, and we ordinary people can only Use it with confidence... Whether the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine is a virulent vaccine, I think we still don’t know."
Li Datong, former editor of China Youth Daily "Freezing Point" magazine, said, "China's vaccine information is too opaque. How many experiments have been conducted, what are the results of the first phase, the second phase, and the third phase? How can the side effects be like? Now it is not transparent, I don't know. So who would dare to fight? So Shanghai Zhang Wenhong was right, when should he fight? You can fight only when the leaders have finished the fight."
The "Citizen Power" publication "Yi Pao" also published an article titled, "The Voice of the Chinese: Let the Leaders Get the Vaccine First".

Beijing’s "Sunday" Vision, Shenzhen Court of the Communist Party of China "Judgment" on 12 Hong Kong people
In 2020, people have experienced disasters and visions one after another. On 30 December, a number of mainland media reported that the unusual celestial phenomenon of the "three suns" appeared over Beijing. People called it the "sun sun".
This scene started around 9 o'clock in the morning and lasted about 2 hours, sparking discussions among many netizens. Some people say, "What's the omen again? I start to interpret it with a big brain hole..." Others say it is a "great omen", "in recent years, especially recently, frequent astronomical anomalies."
"Harmony between man and nature" is an important concept of Chinese traditional culture. The ancient Chinese believed that the sky is above the sky, and it controls the rise and fall of human history and the blessings and blessings of the world; if the king is ordered by the sky, if he cannot follow the sky and has errors and mistakes, then the sky will warn and condemn the strange celestial phenomena and natural disasters.
However, the CCP, which believes in atheism and wants to "fight against the sky and the earth," has never heeded the warnings given by the sky, and their unscrupulous evil deeds have never stopped.
Today, the Shenzhen Yantian Court of the Communist Party of China issued a so-called “judgment” against 12 Hong Kong people who were “sent to China” for more than four months. Among them, Deng Jiran was sentenced to 3 years in prison for the crime of “organizing others to cross the border” and a fine of 20,000 yuan; Qiao Yingyu was sentenced to 2 years in prison for the same crime and a fine of 15,000 yuan.
The other eight people were sentenced to 7 months’ imprisonment for the crime of “steering across the border” and a fine of RMB 10,000. There were also two minors who voluntarily pleaded guilty and pleaded guilty to the crime of smuggling across the border after reviewing them in private After making a decision not to prosecute, the Shenzhen side transferred the two to the Hong Kong police this morning.

First anniversary of the CCP virus epidemic
30 December 2020 is the first anniversary of the exposure of the CCP virus, and also the first anniversary of Dr. Li Wenliang from Wuhan Central Hospital “blowing the whistle” in the WeChat group.
According to Radio Free Asia, some private individuals have launched the anniversary online, but the Chinese Communist Party is facing a major enemy. The doctors of the Wuhan Central Hospital revealed that the passports and Hong Kong and Macau passports of all doctors in the hospital had been confiscated. The authorities did not explain the reason, but they believed it was related to maintaining stability.
Ms. Liu, who works in the Hubei Provincial Health Commission system, said that in the morning of 30 December, a public account called Erxiang published an article commemorating the first anniversary of Li Wenliang’s whistleblowing. Wuhan was highly nervous and pressured. She also disclosed that until now, Li Wenliang's relatives and Dr. Ai Fen were still "stabilizing."

This year, the bad news we heard is indeed far more than the good news. People have been waiting for the bad days to pass quickly, but they are murmured again, can the days come to be better? Can human beings get better?

Nostradamus: 2021 will be more dangerous; zombie virus, earthquake, famine
In the past few days, the British popular newspaper "The Mirror" has compiled a number of Nostradamus predictions about 2021, which involve a "horrible virus", a great famine, and a major earthquake.
Nostradamus is a famous French prophet. He wrote "The Centuries" 300 years ago. He is known for his successful predictions of major events in history, including the French Revolution, the assassination of Kennedy in 1963, the Great Fire of London in 1666 and the 9/11 incident.
According to "The Centuries", in 2021, a scientist will create a biological weapon. This weapon will create a terrible virus that will turn humans into zombies and become extinct. He wrote that there are fewer and fewer young people, half alive, many parents die in endless sadness, and the world will no longer exist.
Nostradamus also predicted that a major earthquake will occur in the United States. Later generations interpreted that the location of the earthquake was likely to be in California. The book reads like this: "Sloping parks, huge disasters, boats crossing the entire western land and Lombardy, fires, plagues, and imprisonment on the boats."
"The Centuries" also mentioned that the earth will encounter the great famine described in the Bible in 2021. This happened after more and more earthquake disasters and virus spread. The scale of the Great Famine in 2021 is huge and unprecedented.
Will these disasters really happen? As we mentioned earlier, the ancient Chinese believed in "the unity of man and nature." Natural disasters and visions are warnings from God. We believe that as long as the human heart is good and the righteousness in this world rises, then human beings can avoid these disasters.

Birthday of Mike Pompeo
First of all, today is the birthday of US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. Pompeo has always cooperated with President Trump tacitly and worked hard. He is also unrelenting in anti-CCP, and he is so angry that the CCP’s mouthpiece jumps and scolds many times. Pompeo also exposes his daily life on his personal Twitter account, helping his wife to wash dishes and making meatballs, all of which seem to be doing well.
This morning, the US State Department tweeted to wish Pompeo a happy birthday. But in the attached picture, he was still in a hurry, taking a plane, rushing to the next stop.
StayGate wishes the U.S. Secretary of State a happy birthday and work for the United States for another four years.

McConnell's bill contains two thousand U.S. dollar checks and Trump requirements
On 30 December, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell blocked a quick vote on the $2,000 relief check bill, which made many people even more disappointed in him.
McConnell introduced the version of the bill he proposed. Everyone was pleasantly surprised to find that this version increased the amount of the $600 relief check to $2,000. It also included two other priorities proposed by President Trump. One is the abolition of the Communications Decency Act. Clause 230, this clause is believed to protect technology giants like Google and Facebook from most liability lawsuits; the other is to establish an Election Assistance Commission to study election integrity.
McConnell said, "These are the three important themes that the president has brought together." "This week the Senate will begin addressing these three priorities."
However, his remarks did not "firmly" guarantee that any of these issues will be voted on, or that he himself will make special efforts for these issues.

First among senators, Hawley speaks out to challenge electoral votes
US Senator Josh Hawley said that he will challenge the results of the Electoral College at the joint meeting of Congress on 6 January 2021. This is the first senator confirmed to join a dozen Republican congressmen to challenge the Electoral College vote results.
Holly tweeted that the voices of millions of voters concerned about the integrity of the election need to be paid attention to, "I will represent them on January 6 to oppose the results of the Electoral College votes."
In the attached written statement, Hawley said that he would not certify this result, especially in Pennsylvania, which did not conduct the general election in accordance with state laws. At the same time, big technology companies, Twitter, and Facebook, in order to support Biden, have carried out "serious" interventions in this election, and he will not verify these results.
The most basic thing is that Congress should investigate the results but Congress has not done this at all. It is far from it.
Hawley also pointed out in the statement that Democrats raised objections during the certification of the 2004 and 2016 election results, saying "to raise concerns about election integrity." They did this and were praised by the leaders of the Democratic Party and the media, saying that they "have the right to do this." Now Republicans also "have the right to do the same thing."
Some netizens replied that (election fraud, intervention by big technology companies) and so on are all brought about by socialism, and this is the plan of the left. Others praised Hawley, saying "this is what the ‘hero’ did."
