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.

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!

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. Update on the "Yeast Hypothesis" (Revised)

Differential enrichment of yeast DNA in SARS-CoV-2 and related genomes supports synthetic origin hypothesis [Version 3)

f1000research.com/articles/10-91…
2. Amendments from Version 2

Furin cleavage site data and discussion included. Identical sequence stretch on S. cerevisiae chromosome XIII identified and suggested as potential recombination donor for the furin site insert in the SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoprotein
3. Revised version 3 includes new data regarding the origin of the unusual FCS in SARS-CoV-2. Indeed, with these new data & evidence, it suggests that this critical site is the product of a recombination event after synthetic passage in genetically manipulated S. cerevisiae cells

"WHO wants SAGO to also examine the possibility of a laboratory accident being responsible for the emergence of SARS-CoV-2"

(December, 2021)

2. The Problem via @Ayjchan
"The question now is how do we make sure the next phase of @WHO #OriginOfCovid isn't subject to more of these pressures coming from parties with reasonably perceived conflicts of interest
Was its SAGO membership also determined under these influences?
3. Example via @DavidLRobrtson of @robertson_lab

"the focus should be on the most realistic scenario for the emergence of the virus: infected animals in markets in Wuhan"

Historical Curiosities

Assassination of William the Silent

Gérard returned in July 1584 with 2 wheel-lock pistols.

William was having dinner.

After he left and walked downstairs, van Uylenburgh heard Gérard shoot William in the chest at close range.

Gérard fled immediately
Gérard fled through a side door and ran across a narrow lane, pursued by Roger Williams.

Gérard had almost reached the ramparts, from which he intended to jump into the moat. On the other side a saddled horse stood ready.
A pig's bladder around his waist was intended to help keep him afloat. However, he stumbled over a heap of rubbish. A servant and a halberdier of the prince who had raced after him caught him.

About some "BIG" conspiracies

It's human nature to conspire

Fuck them, they are all going to die anyway (fact)

A shroud has no pockets (fact)

A new generation will be dancing on their rotting skulls

That's my philosophy lately

Bit grim but helps put things in perspective
not saying they may not be "true"

but i prefer to focus on the little conspiracies of silence and the conspiracies of sod's law.
Even such is time, that takes in trust
Our youth, our joys, our all we have
And pays us but with age and dust

WALTER RALEIGH, the night before his death

History hath triumphed over time, which beside it nothing but eternity hath triumphed over.

Preface, History of the World
