RKS RUSSIAN LITERATURE:  A Criminal’s Failure of Will and Reasoning (Fyodor Dostoevsky)

“Almost every criminal is subject to a failure of will and reasoning power by a childish and phenomenal heedlessness at the very instant when prudence and caution are most essential. It was his conviction that this eclipse of reason and failure of willpower attacked a man like a disease, developed gradually and reached its highest point just before the perpetration of the crime, continued with equal violence at the moment of the crime and for a longer or shorter time thereafter, according to the individual case, and then passed off like any other disease .The question whether the disease gives rise to the crime, or whether the crime from its own particular nature is always accompanied by something of the nature of the disease, he did not yet feel able to decide.”

Fyodor Dostoevsky, “Crime and Punishment”.

THE ABDUCTION OF RORY DYLAN STEPHEN: OPERATION SMEAR, GRAB AND DISCREDIT: NORTH KOREA

(excerpt from White House Executive Summary)

Our President and supreme leader Orville Grump believes Kim Jong Un, the Supreme Leader of North Korea, “is a real good guy, real nice, we really get along but he is a jughead and makes too many mistakes unlike me”.

Kim Jong Un is portly but Lordy he can move a basketball like no other North Korean and if there was any such North Korean he’d be dead for sure! If there had been a January 6th in that land of kimchi he would have given them what they deserved.

Our operative had met with a representative of Kim Jong Un at the Dennis Rodman International Airport in Pyongyang several weeks ago and made a deal and as all know President Grump just loves a deal.

The deal is this. North Korea will field a team in the National Basketball Association by the name of the Jong Jumpers with a cheerleading team the Supreme Leaderettes. In return Kim Jong Un will provide to the United States as a gift of eternal friendship 1,600 kilos of fentanyl in 26-gram batches marked “Peoples Republic of China’s Gift to America”.  

The fentanyl will be transported to Singapore through Indonesia and then delivered to a specified Sir Reginald Nicomshire shipping line and transported to Vancouver, Canada and Quebec City, Canada and smuggled into United States but intercepted at the border crossings with Canada hence giving a valid reason  for the United States to invade Canada caused by a “national health emergency” and to impose crushing tariffs on China in  relation for its flagrant attempts to poison Americans with the fentanyl it has manufactured.

Additionally a Grump International Golf Resort will be constructed at The Wonsan-Kalma Coastal Tourist Area in North Korea and be open for not only Russian tourist groups but qualified members of the Proud Boys and ICE and “Veterans of the Sixth of January”.

The United States will Grab Canada and Smear China.

China gave the United States Kung Flu and there will be such impossibly high tariffs on China they’ll be singing KUNG BLUES!

RKS RUSSIAN LITERATURE: Too Many Pots of Vodka and High-Flown Speeches (Fyodor Dostoevsky)

“Evidently Marmeladov was a familiar figure here and he had most likely acquired his weakness for high-flown speeches from the habit of frequently entering into conversation with strangers of all sorts in the tavern. This habit develops into a necessity in some drunkards, and especially in those who are looked after sharply and kept in order at home. Hence in the company of other drinkers they try to justify themselves and if even if possible, obtain consideration.”

Fyodor Dostoevsky, “Crime and Punishment”.

RKS RUSSIAN LITERATURE: Should He Murder the Old Hag? (Fyodor Dostoevsky)

‘I want to attempt a thing like that and I am frightened by these trifles’, he thought with an odd smile. ’Hm…yes. all is in a man’s hands and he lets it all slip from cowardice, that’s an axiom. It would be interesting to know what it is men are most afraid of. Taking a new step, uttering a new word is what they fear most…But I am talking too much. It’s because I chatter and do nothing. Or perhaps it is that I chatter because I do nothing. I’ve learned to chatter this month, lying for days in my den thinking…of Jack the Giantkiller. Why am I going there now. Am I capable of that? Is that serious. It is not serious at all. It’s simply a fantasy to amuse myself; a plaything? Yes, maybe it’s a plaything.’

Fyodor Dostoevsky, “Crime and Punishment”.

THE ABDUCTION OF RORY DYLAN STEPHEN: OPERATION SMEAR, GRAB AND DISCREDIT: CANADA

(excerpt from White House Executive Summary)

The United States must have a valid reason, fabricated, if necessary, to invade Canada and make it the 51st state.

The plan is to transport large quantities of fentanyl into Canada, preferably to the ports of Vancouver, British Columbia and Quebec City, Quebec.

Covert operatives will then mount numerous fentanyl smuggling operations into Vermont and Washington State where DEA teams, notified of their arrival at the border will seize the fentanyl.

Fentanyl will have been packaged to show it was manufactured in the People’s Republic of China whereas we have made arrangements with North Korea to manufacture the fentanyl there which will then be transported to Singapore for undetected shipments to Vancouver and Quebec City.

An operative in Singapore is currently arranging for shipments on Sir Reginald Nicomshire’s shipping lines to Vancouver and Quebec City. Nicomshire’s shipping lines have an international reputation for playing by the rules so they are above suspicion.

When the large quantities of fentanyl are seized the United States will conduct a neutralizing offensive into Canada and lay the political and economic foundations to make it our 51st state. As the source of the fentanyl will be seen to be from China the President will declare a national emergency and levy enormous tariffs on China saving America and making it great again.

THE ABDUCTION OF RORY DYLAN STEPHEN: MADAME FONG’S LETTER TO SIR REGINALD NICOMSHIRE

THE ABDUCTION OF RORY DYLAN STEPHEN: MADAME FONG’S LETTER TO SIR REGINALD NICOMSHIRE

The following letter was found in Madame Fong’s Presidential Stateroom in her handwriting but not signed nor completed.

Dearest Reggie:

I apologize for slapping you and kicking your testicles the other night all in public view. It was in such un-Madame Fongish taste!

I had explained to you that the United States Government sought my assistance in persuading you to ship several containers attached to the hull of your ships to ports in Vancouver and Quebec City.

The United States Government advised me the contents of these containers must be below the water and undetectable. The contents are vital to the security of the United States I have been told by several high-ranking White House officials who have explained the transport of these containers to Canada is necessary to safeguard the public health of millions of Americans threatened by huge exports of fentanyl manufactured in The People’s Republic of China and smuggled into the United States through Canada “by some really bad guys, real nasty guys”.

There is concern the huge influx of cheap state subsidized goods from China will destroy the American economy and when the cargo is delivered to Canada the United States can protect itself and democracy of the free world by putting China in its place and make America great again.

I do not know the details of these plans of the United States but for the protection of democracy and public health who are we to argue.

You told me you required full details as to the cargo and why it had to be shipped below water as opposed to in the hold. I have been told by these White House officials to trust the imperative of this transportation, and you must trust the United States as well without asking inconvenient questions.

I do not know why they have said this to me but they have promised the shipments will finally bring justice for the murder of my great grandfather by anti-Chinese elements in Canada during the national railway construction in the 1860’s there.

If you agree to transport the cargo as I have requested 123 criminal charges about to be levied on me by the United States Department of Justice will not see daylight.

If you agree my body and soul will be yours as well as Rory Dylan Stephen that lovely West Highland Terrier you admire so much.

So I should add……

“Lost in Puppydom: Rory Dylan Stephen’s Puppydom”: THE ABDUCTION OF RORY DYLAN STEPHEN: MURDERS ON THE EASTERN & ORIENTAL EXPRESS: THE WORLD TO SHAKE DOWN TO ITS FOUNDATIONS! I AM FREE AT LAST!!!!!

The Singapore Times Exclusive: THE ABDUCTION OF RORY DYLAN STEPHEN: MURDER ON THE EASTERN & ORIENTAL EXPRESS: THE WORLD TO SHAKE DOWN TO ITS FOUNDATIONS! I AM FREE AT LAST!!!!!

At our breakfast it was announced all passengers would be escorted off the train to be processed by Singaporean customs and immigration the following day at 12:00 hours.

Bobby Fong Jr., Amira and I headed back to our State Cabin. Upon arrival in our cabin which was feeling more like a jail cell of late Bobby Fong Jr, and Amira celebrated our upcoming freedom with a glass of champers. Bobby Fong Jr. picked me up, looked me in the eyes and said that I had done my job of befriending Sir Reginald Nicomshire and he would be making arrangements to send me home forthwith!

He had emailed Bob and set a pick up location at his suite at the Singapore Shangri-La. He had also attached photos of a very important official document from the United States.

He told Amira and I shortly before his mother’s death she had given him a manila envelope containing an important document that would be earth shattering but it was not to be opened unless “anything” should happen to her. And as “something happened” to her he had opened it

He said it contained a Whitehouse Executive Summary of “Operation Smear, Grab and Discredit” and a letter from Madame Fong to Sir Reginald Nicomshire.

“Lost in Puppydom: Rory Dylan Stephen’s Puppydom”: THE ABDUCTION OF RORY DYLAN STEPHEN: MURDERS ON THE EASTERN & ORIENTAL EXPRESS: BOBBY FONG JR. NOT EVEN QUESTIONED

The Singapore Times Exclusive: THE ABDUCTION OF RORY DYLAN STEPHEN: MURDER ON THE EASTERN & ORIENTAL EXPRESS: BOBBY FONG JR.NOT EVEN QUESTIONED

Madame Fong is no longer with us. As she is the villain behind my abduction you know where she can go; a very hot place.

The Singaporean and Malaysian investigative team had an excuse to wrap the investigation up as it was so obvious to them Madame Fong murdered Sir Reginald Nicomshire. She had slapped him in the face and kicked him in the balls the night prior to his death. Guilty as sin!

If it was so obvious who murdered Nicomshire why then was Madame Fong murdered. Seems to me the murderer was at large on the Eastern & Oriental Express. Pardon my linear thinking. These murders may be far more complicated than one may be led to believe.

Wasn’t it so very odd the two Budweiser swilling and burger loving gentlemen, armed to the teeth as they were, left the train in Suburbans directly to the American Embassy in Singapore. Who gave the order to release them! The hint of the United States involvement in these two murders was no longer a whisper. It was a roar.

With their conclusion in hand the investigative team didn’t bother to question Bobby Fong Jr. about Nicomshire’s death.

Neither, for some politically motivated reason, were they investigating Madame Fong’s death as it was no longer “in their mandate of appointment”.

Madame Fong’s death was to be investigated on a “off the train basis” by Singaporean police. Sounded as if her murder was one to be ignored or pardon me was it sanctioned by whoever convinced the investigative team to permit two Budweiser swilling and burger loving gentlemen to leave the train.

It was only a short matter of time the chief investigator indicated, all passengers could disembark from the train.

I fulfilled my assignment for Bobby Fong Jr. to cozy up to Sir Reginald Nicomshire and if Bobby Fong Jr. was true to his word I would be returning to Toronto in short order.

RKS THE LITERATURE OF INDIA: An Assistant to a Corrupt Indian Politician (Deepti Kapoor)

“Ajit Singh was the biggest goon in town. He had many interests. Dredging the riverbeds for construction sand, cutting down trees for timber on Forestry Department land, mining quarries for stone, stealing medicines from the government hospitals. So long as we did his work, whatever else we did, short of killing cops, we had protection. I had a great education there, I understood the turning of the wheel, how the cops and the politicians and the bureaucrats were all working together to keep this wheel in motion, how every spoke of the wheel was important, how the wheel was the system itself. We indulged in extortion, collecting protection money from businesses or else burning them down, we’d commit kidnappings for ransom.”
