METH PARADISE: During his time in Myanmar, Cai is suspected of traversing the country, testing drug samples, organizing couriers and obtaining a fishing boat to transport the illicit cargo to a bigger vessel in international waters, according to police and the Myanmar PowerPoint document.

His phones contained pictures of the vehicles to be used to transport the meth, the spot where the meth was to be dropped off, and the fishing boat. The police reconstruction of Cai’s dealings in Myanmar led to another major revelation: The epicenter of meth production had shifted from China’s southern provinces to Shan State in Myanmar’s northeastern borderlands.

Operating in China had provided the Sam Gor syndicate with easy access to precursor ingredients, such as ephedrine and pseudoephedrine, that were smuggled out of pharmaceutical, chemical and paint factories in the Pearl River Delta Economic Zone. Shan gave Sam Gor the freedom to operate largely unimpeded by law enforcement.

Putin & Xi Jinping: Brute Thugs of This World!

              (Staff articles from the WASHINGTON POST & RT in June & July 2021.) 

China’s Xi promises the world ‘heads bashed bloody.’ He should be taken seriously. Those who worry that hawks in Washington are drumming up an unnecessary and dangerous new cold war with China ought to take the time to read the address delivered in Beijing’s Tiananmen Square on Thursday by Chinese President Xi Jinping.

As military jets flew overhead and a large crowd roared its approval, Mr. Xi boasted of the “great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation”; he said China had “created a new model for human advancement” that it intended to spread through the world, while raising its armed forces to “world-class standards.”

In short, Mr. Xi made it clear that China under his dictatorial rule will present an escalating threat to the democratic world and to China’s neighbors — especially Taiwan, the capture of which he termed “a historic mission and an unshakable commitment.”

One More Aussie Died from AstraZeneca Vaccine

                   (Staff article from the ABC NEWS AUSTRALIA on July 8, 2021.) 

Death of 61-year-old WA woman last month likely linked to AstraZeneca vaccine: Health authorities have concluded the death of a 61-year-old woman in hospital last month was likely linked to the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine.

The West Australian woman received the vaccine in early June and was admitted to Royal Perth Hospital later that month, where she died of a blood disorder. The federal government's Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) investigated the woman's death, with an external vaccine safety investigation group of experts deeming the vaccination the likely cause.

It based that conclusion on a strong lack of evidence for other causes and the timeframe within which she died after taking the vaccine. The TGA said the woman had experienced a viral illness that could have theoretically caused the disorder, but the group felt the unusual severity of the event made the vaccine a more likely cause.

Meth-King Tse Chi Lop: Chinese El Chapo (Part-3)

ALADDIN’S CAVE OF INTEL: Cai Jeng Ze was heading home to Taiwan, walking through the airport with a Jimmy Choo leather bag and two mobile phones. It was the morning of November 15, 2016, and Cai seemed nervous, picking at his blistered hands.

This tic aroused suspicion, said a former Myanmar police commander who oversaw the investigation. “His hands were bad because he had been handling the drugs,” the commander told Reuters. “Methamphetamine is very toxic.”

Cai was stopped and searched. Taped to each of his thighs was a small bag containing 80 grams of ketamine, a powerful tranquilizer that doubles as a party drug. “We were very fortunate to arrest him. Actually, it was an accident,” the commander said. Myanmar police, tipped off by the DEA, had been monitoring Cai. But they had lost track of him. Airport police had no idea who he was.

Cai told airport police the bag on his thigh contained a “pesticide or vitamin for flowers and plants,” according to Myanmar court records from his trial for ketamine trafficking. A friend, said Cai, had given it to him to pass on to his father. Cai’s flight was about to leave and there was no drug test for ketamine at the airport, the commander said.

Chinese-Sinovac-Vaccinated Killed By Indian-Covid

                 (Rebecca Ratcliff’s article from the GUARDIAN UK on June-29, 2021.) 

Indonesian Covid deaths add to questions over Sinovac vaccine: Health experts asking if medics should get other jabs after at least 10 fully Sinovac-vaccinated Indonesian doctors die in June.

At least 10 out of 26 Indonesian doctors who have died from Covid-19 this month had been fully vaccinated with Sinovac, prompting health experts to consider whether medics should receive alternative doses to boost immunity.

Indonesia, which has relied on the Chinese-made vaccine for its health workers, is struggling with a new surge in coronavirus cases. The latest outbreak, driven by new variants, has overwhelmed hospitals and burial sites in Jakarta and on the island of Java. On Monday the country announced 20,694 new infections.

Meth-King Tse Chi Lop: Chinese El Chapo (Part-2)

                  (Tom Allard’s article from the REUTERS on October-14, 2019.) 

Tse was a young Red Guard originally.

A TRIP, A TRAP: Tse Chi Lop was born in Guangdong Province, in southern China, and grew up during China’s Cultural Revolution. Amid the bloody purges, forced labor camps and mass starvation, a group of imprisoned members of Mao’s Red Guard in the southern city of Guangzhou formed a triad-like criminal enterprise called the Big Circle Gang.

Tse later became a member of the group, say police, and like many of his Big Circle Gang brethren moved to Hong Kong, then further afield as they sought sanctuaries for their criminal activities. He arrived in Canada in 1988.

In the 1990s, Tse shuttled between North America, Hong Kong, Macau and Southeast Asia, said a senior AFP investigator based in Asia. He rose to become a mid-ranking member of a smuggling ring that sourced heroin from the Golden Triangle, the lawless opium-producing region where the borders of Myanmar, Thailand, China and Laos meet.

COVID Hell Indonesia: Dying By Thousands Daily

                          (Staff article on the ABC NEWS AUSTRALIA on June-27, 2021.) 

Indonesian COVID patients die in self-isolation as hospitals reach breaking point: The body of a man who died after testing positive for coronavirus lay in front of his house in North Jakarta for more than 12 hours before an ambulance responded.

The hospital system in Indonesia has been under pressure with tens of thousands of new daily coronavirus cases. Indonesia has been one of the countries hardest hit by COVID-19 in South-East Asia

Indonesian authorities reported a record daily increase in coronavirus cases on Saturday with 21,095 new infections and 358 new deaths. More than 56,000 Indonesians have died from the disease. Testing rates remain low and experts warn the true numbers are likely far higher than official figures.

Hospitals in Indonesia have been buckling under pressure after an influx of coronavirus cases linked to new variants and celebrations for the end of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. In some cases, people who are COVID-positive are being turned away from hospitals and asked to self-isolate in small, often crowded, homes.

Meth-King Tse Chi Lop: Chinese “El Chapo” (Part-1)

                        (Tom Allard’s article from the REUTERS on October-14, 2019.) 

THE HUNT FOR ASIA’S EL CHAPO: The Asia-Pacific region is awash in crystal meth. A multinational task force is on the trail of a China-born Canadian national who, police tell Reuters, is the suspected kingpin of a vast drug network that is raking in up to $17 billion a year. 

He is Asia’s most-wanted man. He is protected by a guard of Thai kickboxers. He flies by private jet. And, police say, he once lost $66 million in a single night at a Macau casino.

Tse Chi Lop, a Canadian national born in China, is suspected of leading a vast multinational drug trafficking syndicate formed out of an alliance of five of Asia’s triad groups, according to law enforcement officials. Its members call it simply “The Company.” Police, in a nod to one of Tse’s nicknames, have dubbed it Sam Gor, Cantonese for “Brother Number Three.”

Indian-COVID Hell Reaches Myanmar (Burma)

                 (Staff article from the GUARDIAN UK on June 1, 2021.) 

Indian COVID variant (the so-called Delta COVID) has already crossed the India-Burma border and now killing tens of thousands of people in the Sagain Division and Chin State sharing miles and miles of border with crowded India.

In the town of Kalay in Sagaing Division more than 500 people were killed by COVID last month alone from June-1 to June-30. The Kalaly cemetery now is filled new graves. The new COVID was not like the old COVID from China last year for the deaths were very similar to the Typhoid deaths.

In most cases the high fever with internal bleeding were followed by a sudden death like in a Typhoid case. When the dead were tested the usual COVID virus suspected was not found. The only symptom from COVID was a very low Oxygen reading in every dying patient.
