Remember what I said about Poland?

Polish special services are involved in the terrorist attack in Machulishchi — KGB of Belarus.

It is reported that after the first attempt to sneak into Belarus directly failed, Polish "logisticians" came up with a new route for Shvets: Warsaw—Riga—Pskov.

"These people are involved in the channels of delivery to the territory of the Republic of Belarus of means of destruction, drones, ensuring the entry of the terrorist to the territory of Belarus and his training, as well as the implementation of the routes of his evacuation."

Belarusian security forces have information that there is an active recruitment of saboteurs among the Ukrainian refugees in Poland.

The case against Muhyiddin is bad for PH

In a very long video, I think my longest, before the general election in Malaysia; I reviewed the manifestos of each of the parties and concluded that the plan of Perikatan Nasional was the most focused on securing and preserving Malaysia's economic and political sovereignty. The Pakatan Harapan manifesto seemed to be lifted directly from the World Economic Forum's playbook, and PH has been a steady recipient of funding from the National Endowment for Democracy since its inception.

The fact that Muhyiddin Yassin — the head of Perikatan Nasional — is being prosecuted now under the PH-BN government, and PN's ability to campaign in the upcoming state elections; just confirms my original evaluation: PN is being targeted because PN is serious about preserving Malaysia's sovereignty.

Misleading media coverage of Muhyiddin case further indicates political orchestration
I understand that many of you may not know why I am talking about the Muhyiddin case so much. It may seem very provincial and unrelated to most of our lives. But, as I have talked about, the Asia Pacific region is increasingly important to the owners and controllers of global capital; control of the emerging economies here — like Malaysia and Indonesia — is pivotal to them.

Muhyiddin's party, Perikatan Nasional, in my estimation, is the most concerned with Malaysia's sovereignty, independence, and preserving the Muslim character of the country. Anwar Ibrahim's coalition, Pakatan Harapan, is liberal, Westernised, US-funded, and associated with both the IMF and the World Economic Forum. The NED was deeply involved in supporting their rise to power. Despite all of their efforts, young voters, and the majority of Malays, ie. Muslims, supported Perikatan Nasional in the last election, and would likely support them in the upcoming state elections. An orchestrated campaign to undermine PN appears to be underway, and this constitutes a campaign against what PN stands for, and what the majority of Muslims in Malaysia support. The prosecution of Muhyiddin matters, and it is not hyperbolic to say that the outcome of this issue will have far-reaching and long-term impact on the future independence and sovereignty of Malaysia.

🇯🇵🇸🇦 Japan and Saudi Arabia are set to work together on hydrogen progects


▪️What are the premises for cooperation

Japan and Saudi Arabia have been working together on various projects related to the production and use of hydrogen as a clean energy source. The cooperation between the two countries is driven by the shared vision of a sustainable future, and the recognition that hydrogen has the potential to play a key role in reducing carbon emissions.

Saudi Arabia is one of the world's largest producers of oil and gas, and has been a major supplier of energy to Japan for many years. However, both countries are aware of the need to diversify their energy sources and reduce their dependence on fossil fuels. Hydrogen, as a clean and abundant energy source, has emerged as a promising alternative.

▪️First steps

In 2019, Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry (METI) and Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Energy, Industry, and Mineral Resources (MEIM) signed a memorandum of understanding to strengthen their cooperation in the field of hydrogen energy. The MoU outlined a range of collaborative activities, including research and development, investment, and the promotion of hydrogen technology.

▪️Yanbu project

The Yanbu project, also known as the "Demonstration of Integrated Hydrogen Energy Refinery with CO2 Capture" project, is a joint venture between Saudi Aramco and Japan's Institute of Energy Economics (IEEJ). The project was announced in 2019, and construction began in 2020.

The project has a budget of around $20 million, with both Saudi Aramco and IEEJ contributing funds. The pilot hydrogenation plant will have a capacity of 10 metric tons per day, producing blue hydrogen through a process called steam methane reforming, which captures and stores the resulting carbon dioxide emissions.

The hydrogen produced by the plant will be used to power a fuel cell that will generate electricity for a nearby seawater desalination plant, which is operated by the Saline Water Conversion Corporation (SWCC). The desalination plant currently runs on diesel generators, but the use of hydrogen is expected to reduce its carbon emissions significantly.

The pilot plant is expected to start operations in 2023. The project is part of a larger initiative to develop a hydrogen economy in Saudi Arabia, which includes plans to develop a network of hydrogen fueling stations and to export hydrogen to other countries.

The Yanbu project is seen as an important step towards the commercialization of hydrogen energy, and is expected to provide valuable data and insights into the technical and economic feasibility of hydrogen production, storage, and transport.

▪️Hydrogen projects outlook

In addition to the pilot plant, the two countries are also working on a feasibility study for a larger-scale hydrogen project that would involve the construction of a pipeline to transport hydrogen from Saudi Arabia to Japan. The project, which is still in the early stages, would require significant investment and infrastructure development, but has the potential to greatly reduce the cost of transporting hydrogen, which is currently a major barrier to its widespread use.

Cooperation between Japan and Saudi Arabia on hydrogen projects is an important example of how international partnerships can drive innovation and accelerate the transition to a more sustainable energy system. By combining their expertise and resources, these two countries are making significant progress towards a future powered by clean, renewable energy.

For Japan, it's very important to maintain its domestic production. The implementation of carbon emission quotas mechanism leaves no room for fossil fuels. So Japan is trying to ensure clean energy supplies. The alternative option would be reducing production. And the example of Europe does not look very attractive.

When you see Anwar Ibrahim signing Malaysia up to support AUKUS strategy, that should clear up any doubts about his fealty. But, I would expect him to camouflage his support within anti-imperialist rhetoric.

Only 23% of young people in the US are eligible for military service - the rest are not due to psychological problems, obesity or addiction to drugs.

Protest in Prague, Czech Republic - people demand no weapons supplies to Ukraine and the removal of the Ukrainian flag from the National Museum.

18 people are detained
Around 3,000 demonstrators in Bern protested against Swiss arms exports and economic sanctions against Russia.

The protesters' main demand to the country's government and parliament is to strictly adhere to the policy of neutrality.
It is entirely conceivable that the campaign against Perikatan Nasional and Muhyiddin is actually being engineered by UMNO, not PH or Anwar. UMNO has more to gain by undermining the party garnering the most Malay support

With regards to a question in the discussion about India becoming an economic superpower. Value-added manufacturing has barely budged in two decades. India is a major economy, but a lot would have to develop before we could call it a superpower

The owners and controllers of global financialized capital have made the calculation that, for Europe, euthanasia makes more sense than life support. Europe can be more profitable as a conflict zone.
