On Dec 18, 2021 workers at NagaWorld casino hotel began striking to protest management's forced mass redundancy of over 1,300 workers that left many destitute.
Police arrested Chhim Sithar for leading the massive strike against NagaWorld casino.

The casino’s parent company, Nagacorp, is listed in Hong Kong. It is chaired and majority-owned by Malaysian billionaire Chen Lip Keong.

Before the pandemic, Nagacorp earned $102.3 million in profits in 2020 and more than $521.3 million in 2019.

Chen Lip Keong has a net worth of $1 billion

He has greased the eager palms of Cambodian leaders with different "gifts" over the years

For example, $5 million for Cambodia’s COVID-19 vaccine fund

Prime Minister Hun Sen said

“The contribution of Dr Chen Lip Keong is invaluable and will always be remembered by the people of Cambodia.”

& hey presto!

​​Government vows to preserve Angkor while allowing Chinese company (Naga Corp) to develop nearby

Preferential Treatment

"NagaWorld, is Phnom Penh’s only integrated hotel & entertainment complex with a 70-year casino licence running until 2065, as well as an exclusive rights to operate casinos within a 200-km radius of Phnom Penh expiring in 2045"

Do you remember Broken Tooth’ Wan Kuok-koi?

The question arises of his connections to Dr Chen Lip Keong and NagaWorld via a coterie of corrupt Cambodian officials.

Here is a photograph of Broken Tooth posing in the office of Hing Bun Heang, commander-in-chief of the Cambodian Prime Minister's bodyguards.
Here is another photograph of "Broken Tooth" with

In Cambodia, the World Hongmen Association was established in 2018 with Ms. Men Sam An, Deputy Prime Minister and Mr. Sao Sokha, Commander of the Cambodian Military Police also present at the founding ceremony with "Broken Tooth"

Did someone say "Dr Chen Lip Keong" and "Nicky Liow"?

"The World Hongmen History and Culture Association has managed to co-opt elite figures in Malaysia and Cambodia”

The rot goes to the top

The Hun family's business empire

Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen’s family has amassed a “vast fortune”, with stakes in at least 114 domestic companies spanning most of the Kingdom’s key sectors, including major energy, telecoms, mining & trading firms
Cambodian Red Cross?

"Dr Chen Lip Keong has also contributed generously towards another COVID-19 fund to assist the government in its fight against the virus, as well as to the Cambodian Red Cross"

Cambodia is run by a kleptocratic elite that generates much of its wealth via the seizure of public assets, particularly natural resources.

1. Remote truck drone swarm bombings are here to stay!

The techniques will be improved and nowhere will be safe unless underground.

Questions to consider:

How many panel vans, transit vans and small trucks are there in a big city at any one time?
2. This is a revolution in sabotage tactics



Welcome to the future of air bases!

Without concrete and earth roofed revetments, aircraft are sitting ducks.kyivpost.com/post/53749
3. The "good old days"

"clandestine antiaircraft devices using gallium metal pencils which when applied to aircraft results In destruction due to stress failure at the point of application"

🧵1. Another Modest Proposal

This time for the Pangolin’s Noble Sacrifice!

In this enlightened year of our Lord 2025 I, a humble observer of mankind’s ceaseless quest for health, find myself much struck by the ingenious practices of the Orient..
🧵2. A Scaly Panacea

...where the pangolin, that scaly denizen of subtropical climes, hath been elevated to a panacea most wondrous.

The Baicao Chinese Medicine compendium, a veritable gospel of herbal wisdom, doth proclaim the virtues of this creature’s scales...
🧵3. Humanity's Salvation?

...harvested with a diligence that would shame the most ardent of alchemists.

I propose, therefore, a modest scheme to amplify this noble tradition, ensuring that the pangolin’s sacrifice might serve the greater good of humanity.

A Convulsive Horizon of No Escape

Clang! Bar, far, scar, star.

Take the swarming headlines, shred them,

South Korea’s soy sauce grand master stirs

Books that don’t exist, AI’s fevered brew.

War without purpose, war crimes bite,
🧵🗞️ Clang! Crimes, limes, slimes!

EU’s chocolate crisis, cocoa beans scream!

Climate breakdown bites the fields.

The moment that changed me

a boulangerie revelation melting into Vindolanda’s stone relief

But the man in the navy suit and tie,

chokes on known unknowns.
🧵🗞️ Clang! Rice, nice, vice, dice!

Japanese minister’s rice is free, free, glee, spree,

As Trump’s tariffs tangle with toilet roll wedding lists.

No escape. The hour will no longer be ours.

Clang! Dome, home, foam, roam!

Some insights into our DRASTIC investigation

1. What appears wasteful research to you in the present may be of great value to you or others in the future, if it is given the time to develop to its logical end.

Don’t judge the usefulness of your findings too quickly!
2. What appears wasteful or a dead end to you..

May be of immense value to somebody else!

Don’t judge the usefulness:

1. Of other people’s findings based only on your own assessment of them.

2. Of your own findings based only on your own current assessment of them either.
3. What appears wasteful and a dead end to you..

A. May be the raw stuff that new hypotheses and new research directions are born from.

B. Don’t judge the usefulness of your "investigations" until you have given them enough time to surprise you.
