Also ich würde sagen, der Nazi sitzt auf der anderen Seite des Schützengrabens, und zielt gerade auf die Ukrainer …


Die russischen Soldaten spielen genauso die Rolle des nützliche Idioten ihrer Herrschaft wie die ukrainischen. Sie sind einfach Kanonenfutter für die Interessen ihrer Staaten - nicht ihrerer eigenen!

Für Nationalisten gibt es keine Klassengesellschaft sondern nur ein "Wir". Davon haben die Untertanen nichts: auf beiden Seiten des Schützengrabens.

Der Satz "Der Hauptfeind steht im eigenen Land" hat nicht von ungefähr eine Berechtigung. Gilt auch für beide Seiten des Schützengrabens und ist der schärfste Angriff auf den Nationalismus.

How to Shut Down a Business: Striking Off or Liquidation?


 **Striking off** and **liquidation** are effective ways to end a business. By choosing the right method, following the steps, and getting professional support, you can close your company cleanly and move on without stress.

Closing a business is a significant step, and the method you choose can affect your finances, timeline, and peace of mind. In Singapore, the two primary options are striking off and liquidation. These paths differ in cost, complexity, and purpose, and choosing the wrong one can result in delays or legal issues.

This guide explains both options to help you make an informed decision.

Striking Off: The Basics


Striking off is a quick and affordable way to dissolve a company. It involves asking ACRA (Singapore’s business regulator) to remove your company from its register.

It’s ideal for:

  • Companies that have ceased operations
  • Businesses with no debts or liabilities
  • Firms with all tax obligations met
  • Companies holding no assets


The Striking Off Process


  1. File an application with ACRA
  2. ACRA reviews it, potentially requesting additional details
  3. If everything checks out, the company is struck off in about 4 months

Striking off is efficient, but it’s not an option if the company has outstanding debts or disputes. In such cases, liquidation is required.

Liquidation: The Basics


Liquidation is a formal process to close a company’s operations. It involves liquidating assets, settling debts, and distributing any remaining funds to shareholders.

There are two main types:

  • Voluntary liquidation: The company opts to close, often due to financial struggles or redundancy
  • Compulsory liquidation: A court mandates closure, usually over unpaid debts

Liquidation is the right choice when:

  • The company has debts or assets to resolve
  • There are disputes among stakeholders
  • A structured process is needed to meet legal standards

A professional liquidator manages the process, and many firms offering corporate secretarial services assist with the paperwork and compliance.

Striking Off vs. Liquidation: A Comparison

AspectStriking OffLiquidation
CostAffordableMore expensive (legal fees, etc.)
Duration~4–6 months6 months to over a year
Debts Allowed?NoYes (handled by liquidator)
Ideal ForInactive, clean companiesCompanies with debts or disputes
Court Involved?NoYes, in compulsory cases

Common Pitfalls to Avoid


  • Striking Off with Unpaid Debts
    ACRA won’t allow a strike-off if debts remain. Pay them off or pursue liquidation.
  • Neglecting Paperwork
    Both processes require up-to-date records, including tax filings and financial statements. Missing documents can cause delays.
  • Skipping Professional Help
    Closing a company involves legal nuances. Secretarial services in Singapore can streamline the process and prevent mistakes.

When to Strike Off


Choose striking off if:

  • The business is dormant with no activity
  • All debts and taxes are settled
  • You want a fast, low-cost exit
  • There’s no plan to revive the company

It’s a hassle-free way to close a clean business.

When to Liquidate


Opt for liquidation if:

  • The company has debts or assets to manage
  • There are legal or stakeholder issues
  • A formal process is needed for credibility

It’s more involved but ensures everything is handled properly.

Act Sooner Than Later


Procrastinating can increase costs and compliance burdens. Even dormant companies must file annual returns and pay fees. Closing promptly saves time and effort.

If you’re unsure, reach out to experts in corporate secretarial services Singapore. They can evaluate your case and recommend the best path.

Closing with Confidence


Striking off and liquidation are effective ways to end a business. By choosing the right method, following the steps, and getting professional support, you can close your company cleanly and move on without stress.

"No judicial system can reign in an executive that acts on the basis of absurd interpretations of what courts say. No amount of language, no amount of specification or definition can compete with an executive who will simply give each word, each sentence some crazy interpretation and then litigate his understanding to the highest possible court only to start the process all over again upon being told he is wrong."

Ausgerechnet die Berliner #Grünen fordern separate #Frauenabteile in der #U-Bahn, um #Frauen und #Mädchen vor Übergriffen zu schützen.


Ich habe dazu zwei einfache Fragen an BÜNDNIS 90/DIE GRÜNEN:

1. Warum haben wir solche Schutzzonen für Frauen vor 2015 noch nicht gebraucht?

2. Sollen wir jetzt in ganz Deutschland eine #Geschlechtertrennung wie in islamischen Ländern einführen, anstatt endlich die illegale Migration in den Griff zu bekommen?


Die Altparteien opfern lieber unsere Art zu leben, als die wahren Probleme im Land anzugehen. Wir als AfD machen da nicht mit. Wir stehen für Ursachen- statt Symptombekämpfung, weil uns unser Land nicht egal ist. 💙

My least favorite part of Singapore elections is the xenophobia.

We have ‘interesting’ xenophobia though coz it’s mainly from the Singaporean Chinese population towards those other Chinese people who are ‘not like us’, recent mainland Chinese immigrants who arrived in Singapore.. 20-80 years after our own grandparents did.

Whenever you ask one of these assholes to define what it means to be Singaporean Chinese and why a PRC Chinese can’t be accepted they always just end up with.. different food, don’t speak English / Singlish

There’s probably a fair bit of perceived cultural difference of ‘us’ being mainly southern vs mainly northern new Chinese immigrants, but that’s still xenophobia

something I found wryly amusing, the bigots here use the exact same reasonings and justifications for their bigotry as the bigots in Australia. It's just the targets that change.

A friend of a mutual acquaintance (I think), once told me they hated all the immigrants in Singapore because they caused so many problems. That's why they had moved to Melbourne. The friend didn't take kindly when I joked, 'is that why you became a trouble-causing immigrant yourself?'

I suppose Singaporeans should be grateful they haven't got multiple political parties that openly cater to the bigots. At least not yet.

🚨 ATTENTION: NSF GRANT RECIPIENTS

From a trusted source: We received a heads up that you should proactively download/print/screen shot any documentation on research.gov pertaining to your NSF awards, both those that are current and any that have closed in the last 5-6 years.

There is credible evidence that such things are being planned for removal, and that their absence would then be used to justify punitive actions, such as terminations or future penalties. 1/n

Հիշում եմ և պահանջում is a phrase that echoes louder every year on April 24th, Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day.

This is my first time posting about this tragedy, but every child in Los Angeles has grown up knowing of the 1.5 million Armenians systematically exterminated by the Ottoman Empire.

In a time when my own country is increasingly complicit in enabling atrocities abroad, and when my president refused today to call genocide what it is, I am struggling more than ever with navigating the dichotomy of living in the liberal capital of a fascist autocracy.

Հիշում եմ և պահանջում means “I remember and I demand”, and it feels now like something I have to share. Because recognition is not just about the past-- it's about what we tolerate in the present.

History denied is history repeated, and I feel the weight of everything I was taught in history class growing up repeating itself now.

For the lost. For the survivors. For those still fighting to be seen.

Today I was probably the rudest I've ever been to him, and now I'm wondering if I need to stay on my Zoloft. I'd rather not be dependent on SSRIs, but every time I've tried going off, I have either quit a job or been fired. I'm just afraid that I'm an actual loony toon.

Ansarallah Launch Missile, Drone Attack on Zionist Targets in Tel Aviv, Haifa


The Yemeni Armed Forces announced on Wednesday two military operations against vital Zionist targets in the occupied Palestinian territories.

The YAF’s Missile Force carried out a top-tier military operation targeting a vital Zionist site in the occupied Haifa area using a hypersonic ballistic missile, spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Saree said.

He confirmed that the missile successfully reached its target and that the Zionist interception systems failed to stop it, adding that the strike caused widespread fear and panic among settlers, with more than two million Zionists reportedly rushing to shelters.

Meanwhile, the YAF’s UAV Unit carried out another military operation, attacking another vital Zionist site in the occupied Palestinian city of Yafa (Tel Aviv) with a drone of the Yafa type, the spokesperson added.

Saree said the operations were in solidarity with the Palestinian people and their Resistance and in rejection of the genocide in Gaza being committed by Zionists with US support.

The YAF spokesperson reiterated that the Yemeni people will neither retreat nor abandon their religious, moral, and humanitarian duties and will continue their path of Resistance in support of the oppressed Palestinian people until the Israeli war on Gaza ends and the siege imposed on the enclave is lifted.

On Tuesday evening, US aircraft carried out four airstrikes on the al-Salem district in Saada, northern Yemen and US-led strikes targeted Kamaran Island in the Red Sea in western Yemen, in addition to two airstrikes on the al-Salif district.

The bombing came after the YAF announced downing an American MQ-9 drone off the coast of Hajjah province that was conducting “hostile missions” in Yemeni airspace.

Saree said the US drone was shot down with a domestically produced surface-to-air missile, noting that this marks the seventh MQ-9 drone downed in April alone, and the 22nd since the beginning of the YAF’s military operations in support of Gaza.

In the same briefing, Saree mentioned that the YAF forces carried out two military operations targeting the US aircraft carriers USS Harry S. Truman and USS Carl Vinson, along with their accompanying warships in the Red Sea and the Arabian Sea.

#America Underestimates the Difficulty of Bringing #Manufacturing Back


source: molsonhart.com/blog/america-un…

Chinese manufacturing labor isn’t just cheaper. It’s better.

In #China, there are no people who are too fat to work. The workers don’t storm off midshift, never to return to their job. You don’t have people who insist on being paid in cash so that they can keep their disability payments, while they do acrobatics on the factory floor that the non-disabled workers cannot do.

Chinese workers are much less likely to physically attack each other and their manager. They don’t take 30 minute bathroom breaks on company time. They don’t often quit because their out-of-state mother of their children discovered their new job and now receives 60% of their wages as child support. They don’t disappear because they’ve gone on meth benders. And they don’t fall asleep on a box midshift because their pay from yesterday got converted into pills.

America Underestimates the Difficulty of Bringing Manufacturing Back

On April 2nd, 2025, our president announced major new taxes on imports from foreign countries (“tariffs”), ranging from 10% to 49%. The stated goal is to bring manufacturing back to the United States and to “make America wealthy again”.

Would you steal the font for a campaign "You wouldn't steal a car"?


Today Melissa Lewis over on BlueSky pointed out that the font used in the infamous "You wouldn't steal a car" anti-piracy campaign was actually designed by Just van Rossum, whose brother, Guido, created the Python programming language ( bsky.app/profile/melissa.news/… )

She also pointed out that the font had been cloned and released illegally for free under the name "XBAND Rough". Naturally, it would be hilarious if the anti-piracy campaign actually turned out to have used this pirated font, so I went sleuthing and quickly found a PDF from the campaign site with the font embedded ( web.archive.org/web/2005122320… ).

I haven't been on gab for months, but there was still a small contingent (or just a bot farm) of braindeads peddling and consuming that garbage.

Bitchute used to be full of "killary executed by military tribunal!11!" shit on the trending tab, but it seems they've winnowed it down to mostly "judeo-christian" conservatives and the odd "pam bondi is totally going to do something any minute now" videos.

The latter seems like the logical extension of qlarp. Pam Bondi is indeed the "whitehat" whose being "in control" is what we're witnessing now.

just hooked up the shop lights and a fan, and using a DC clamp meter to measure the current, and then timing how long it takes to completely discharge the battery. this way i can discharge at like 7 amps without heating up the shop with a space heater or something :blackmanthinkingjpeg:
