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.

They have three sons:

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

"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"

If you see a snake today..🐍

1. Based on the Parsi calendar conversion and the text of the Persian Mar-Nāmeh (THE BOOK FOR TAKING OMENS FROM SNAKES), seeing a snake today means you should not look at it, otherwise you will soon have a cause to be sorry.
2. Rule 7 cruelly says:

"If you see a snake on the day of Merdad (Amerdid) do not look at it, (or otherwise) you will soon have a cause to be sorry"

According to the Parsees, today is Roj Amardad (also spelled Merdad or Amerdāt).
3. If you see it, how can you not look at it?

The Book for Taking Omens from Snakes (30 Nov 1892)

By President-Surgeon-Major G. Waters.

"The custom of taking omens from snakes seems to be
very ancient. The people of antiquity associated with the snake various peculiar ideas"

1. The morning breaks on human backs

Across the centuries & the tracks,
Where bone & muscle give their all,
To answer to the master's call.
And in the pocket, pouch, or hand,
A secret comfort rules the land.
A cheap escape from sweat & pain,
To dull the mind or spike the brain.
2. In London’s fog, the engine roars

And laborers crowd through palace doors,
To drown the shift in burning gin.
While in the slums, for just a penny,
The laudanum drops are shared by many,
To soothe the cough, the cramp, the tear,
And quiet the children crying there.
3. Across the sea, the jungle steams

Where coolies chased their broken dreams.
The shovel bites, the fever burns,
Until the evening sun returns.
Then in the bunkhouse, dark & small,
Sweet smoke rises on the wall;
The opium pipe is lit & blessed,
A pain-free haze, a perfect rest!

1. Ball, Hung, Drawn and Quartered for Truth

Did ye sing, John Ball,
as they pulled you apart?
A poet speaking for us all
from England’s tattered heart.
What a price, John Ball,
for singing to us all.
When hope came as a crime
in simple rhythm and rhyme.
2. He who sings a blackbird’s song
to a starved & battered throng
with a message to stand strong
would never last long.
So we’ll sing to John Ball
for the helpless & hopeless,
the voiceless, forgotten,
buried beneath the mansions
of Lords; misbegotten
mortar, stones & chandeliers
3. the scarlet grave goods
of England’s preening peers.
We’ll sing in simple rhymes
and hope for better times,
when those barons’ grandchildren,
so viscous, reptilian,
are thrown from their seat
in ignominious defeat.

🧵Explanation Thread

Here is my attempt at a simple summary of what @JasperFarlake & @dr_louwen claim (July 2026)

1. In early 2020, Chinese scientists published the first big paper on the COVID virus using fluid samples taken from patients’ lungs in Wuhan in December 2019.
2. They uploaded the raw sequencing data to public databases so others could check their work, which is great.



@JasperFarlake & @dr_louwen went back & carefully re-examined that raw data

They say they found several strange things that don’t look right.zenodo.org/records/213119…
@JasperFarlake @dr_louwen 3. You can see their findings in the readme.md text which you can see if you download their zip file and extract it.

or here directly on their @github repository
