Credited with transforming Macau into the world’s biggest casino centre, he would only lose his monopoly when it was opened after four decades to wider competition including from the US billionaire Sheldon Adelson’s Sands China.

In 2010, after a long investigation, the New Jersey gaming authorities issued a report declaring a link between Ho and the triads and requiring that MGM Mirage Macau (a joint venture with Ho) divest its interest in an Atlantic City casino. https://www.scmp.com/article/708998/triads-thrive-hos-casinos-us-report-says

Stanley Ho is great-grandson of Dutch Jewish businessman Charles Henry Maurice Bosman. Bosman supplied “cheap” Chinese labor from Hong Kong to California… We learn how dreadful that labor was, but no one really talks about how it got to the U.S.. https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1089/glr2.2021.0025

About two centuries after the failure of the VOC’s embassy, and once the
Dutch had dominated maritime commerce in Asia, Comprador Bosman came to Hong Kong, at the age of 20, to work for coolie merchant Cornelius
Koopmanschap, 134 a Dutch labor broker who was in the business of importing and exporting cheap Chinese labor. In the 1860s, Koopmanschap lived between California and Hong Kong, and with his connections he was
considered the main contractor and importer of Chinese labor to San
Francisco. 135
The skills of the 24-year-old Charles Bosman, along with the fact that
Cornelius needed to focus on the thriving U.S. market-the Central Pacific
Railroad needed a lot of cheap labor-and spend more time in California, are
most likely key reasons for the transformation of the firm in Hong Kong into Bosman & Co, with the U.S. unit operating under the name Koopmanschap & Co shortly after Mr. Bosman became Dutch Consul, a tenure that allowed him to control and oversee the shipping of labor to Dutch Guiana, in South America.
On February 19, 1863, an act was passed prohibiting the “Coolie Trade” by
American Citizens in American Vessels. 136 The coolie trade was banned, as it was considered a form of slavery, which in itself may have had a significant impact on the business of Mr. Bosman, who moved from Hong Kong to London in the late 1860s or early 1870s, where he established the “Eastern Agency” in 1873.
Left behind were his Chinese mistress Sze Tai, his name-sinicized to 19 (Ho), and five children. Among them was Wai Fook Ho, born in 1863, the
grandfather of Stanley Ho and brother of Sir Robert Hotung, one of Macau’s
greatest philanthropists. Wai Fook Ho had 13 children, one of them the father of Stanley Ho, Ho Sai-kwong (19 ₩*). The Ho clan was wealthy and influential in the colonial Hong Kong period of the late nineteenth century and the first quarter of the twentieth century. Stanley’s grandfather was no different in his position as Chief Compradore at Jardine, Matheson & Co., (opium Boston Brahman ) 137 an original trading house that dates back to Imperial China and is still a Hong Kong conglomerate. He also had the crucial role of leader of the Chinese community.

“The book lays bare the moral compromises of the Kadoories and the Sassoons–and their exceptional foresight, success, and generosity”

We are called “the elderly.” But that quiet label hides something most people rarely stop to consider. We are the last living witnesses of a world that no longer exists.

Look at us and you might see gray hair, slower steps, and the patience that time teaches.

But listen to our story — really listen — and you’ll realize something extraordinary.

We are the only generation in human history to have lived a fully analog childhood and a fully digital adulthood.

That’s not a small thing. That’s one of the most breathtaking journeys a human being has ever been asked to make.

We were born in the 1940s, 50s, and early 60s, into a world still rebuilding from the rubble of World War II.

Our toys were marbles and hopscotch and card games at kitchen tables. When the streetlights flickered on, that was it — childhood adventures were over, and it was time to go home. No smartphones. No streaming. No endless scroll.

We built our memories in the real world. With scraped knees and laughter echoing down streets and friendships formed face to face.

In 1969, we sat in living rooms staring at black-and-white televisions as Neil Armstrong took humanity’s first steps on the Moon. Hundreds of thousands of us stood in muddy fields at Woodstock believing — really believing — that music and community could reshape the future.

We fell in love to vinyl records spinning on turntables. We waited days, sometimes weeks, for handwritten letters to arrive. We learned patience because information didn’t come instantly. Mistakes were fixed with erasers — not a delete button.

Then the world transformed.

Machines that once filled entire rooms shrank to devices lighter than a paperback. We went from rotary phones and party lines to seeing the face of someone we love on the other side of the ocean — instantly, on something that fits in a pocket.

We watched the birth of the personal computer. The arrival of the internet. The smartphone. Artificial intelligence.

And through every single shift — we adapted.

Not because it was easy. Because that’s what our generation does.

We also carry the weight of history in our bodies.

We grew up afraid of polio and tuberculosis. We watched science defeat them. We witnessed the discovery of the structure of DNA, the decoding of the human genome, the transformation of medicine itself. We survived pandemics across decades — and kept going.

Few generations have been asked to absorb so much change in a single lifetime.

And through all of it, certain things never changed.

We still know the joy of a cold glass of lemonade on a hot afternoon. The taste of vegetables picked straight from a garden. The value of a long conversation that unfolds slowly, without a screen interrupting it.

We have celebrated births and mourned losses. Carried the stories of friends who are gone. Watched the world become something our younger selves couldn’t have imagined — and found ways to belong in it anyway.

We are not relics.

We are living bridges between two entirely different worlds.

Our memory carries something the modern world needs — proof that progress doesn’t have to erase wisdom. That speed doesn’t have to replace patience, kindness, or reflection.

So when someone calls us elderly, we can smile.

Because behind that word is something remarkable.

We crossed two centuries. Witnessed eight decades of transformation. Walked from handwritten letters to artificial intelligence — and never lost our sense of what actually matters.

Love Peace and Understanding

ESSAY

NEVER UNDERESTIMATE ANYONE

A woman in a cheap dress and her husband in a modest suit got off the train in Boston and timidly walked to the office of the president’s secretary at Harvard University.

“We’d like to see the president,” the man said softly.

“He’s busy,” the secretary replied.

“We’ll wait,” the woman replied.

For hours, the secretary ignored them, hoping the couple would eventually leave, but they didn’t. The secretary finally decided to interrupt the president.

“Maybe if you talk to them for a few minutes, they’ll leave,” the secretary told the president.

He grimaced in distaste but agreed and strode arrogantly toward the couple.

The woman said to him:

“We had a son who attended Harvard for a year. He loved Harvard and was happy here, but he died in an accident. My husband and I would like to erect a building on campus in memory of our son.”

The president exclaimed:

“A building?! Do you have any idea how much a building costs? Here at Harvard, we’ve spent more than 7.5 million dollars on buildings!”

For a moment, the woman was silent. Then she turned to her husband and said softly:

“Is that such a small amount of money to start a university? Why don’t we create our own?”

Mr. Leland Stanford and his wife stood up and left, traveling to Palo Alto, California, where they established the university that bears their name, Stanford University.

Today, Stanford University is ranked number one in the world, ahead of Harvard.

How easy it is to judge by appearances, and how easy it is to be wrong when… you judge by appearances.

Trump’s Imperial Presidency

No one protects pedophiles and sex traffickers better than the GOP.

Senator Chris Murphy: “It is clearly the biggest scandal in presidential history… Clearly Donald Trump was at the center of a child sex ring”

#DirtyDonald Talibani Tim Bob Burchett and the GOP’s Epstein-Files “Transparency” stunt was NEVER about transparency. It was a procedural magic trick — a sleight-of-hand designed to look righteous while avoiding the one thing they fear most:  A recorded vote with their names attached.

This is cool. COURIER has created a searchable database with all 20,000 of the files just released from Epstein’s estate. Trump’s name appears in them more than anyone else, in 1,628 documents.

Trump names Paul Ingrassia to GSA post after withdrawal over racist texts

Melania needs to be subpoenaed, to come in front of the house committee to explain how she knew Epstein? And why Epstein intruduced her to trump? And it is true that she had sex with trump on Epstein’s Lolito express plane? She was at the center of Epstein pedophile ring. The Melania Trump Opera House at the Kennedy Center is the largest Opera House to ever be named after a hooker.

It’s not talked about enough that an Epstein and Ghislaine maxwell associate who sat on the board of one of Ghislaine’s companies got America’s First Lady her visa…

“Melania when Paolo Zampolli first brought her to NYC. This is the apartment in Union Square where he set her up, and her photographer roommate, Matthew Arabian.“Here’s Melania with her roomate Matthew Atanian in Union Square when she first started escorting. Her initial pimp when she was escorting was Paolo Zampolli. He was good friends with Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein. Zampolli was the person who introduced Melania to Ghislaine and at a subsequent party where she met Trump. Zampolli also got her the Einstein Visa.

 

Trump administration will require SNAP participants to reapply for benefits. The move is part of USDA chief Brooke Rollins’ effort to
overhaul the nation’s largest anti-hunger program and get rid
of “fraud.” Sec. of Agriculture Brooke Rollins has just announced that the entirety of SNAP will be rebuilt and that all users will have to reapply to prove they genuinely need it.

 

Must-read report on the depth of the relationship between Jeffrey Epstein and Steve Bannon. Jeffrey Epstein helped shape Trump’s MAGA movement through a secret alliance with its chief architect, Steve Bannon, who told him it could help him “stave off Time’s Up for a decade” in return for strategic and financial support

NEW: EMAILS REVEAL JEFFREY EPSTEIN MONEY FINANCED BITCOIN CORE DEVELOPMENT “Used gift funds to underwrite this which allowed us to move quickly and win this round. Thanks,” Media Lab Director Joi Ito wrote Epstein in an email titled DCI. Leon Black is the former CEO of Apollo Capital and Epstein associate who stepped back from his position following allegations that the private equity investor paid Epstein $158 Million for financial advice. At Apollo, Black was succeeded by former SEC Chairman Jay Clayton, who currently serves as the United States Attorney of the Southern District of New York, which has become infamous within the digital currency space over its prosecutions of the privacy projects Samourai Wallet and Tornado Cash.

Bitcoin is not a currency. There’s a formal, legal definition for currency. It’s
money that has a sovereign guarantee behind it, a governmental promise
that the value is secure. But Bitcoin is “backed” by technology, not by a
state. It doesn’t fit the bill as a currency.
Bitcoin works as a store of value. “When we talk about gold as a store of
value,” says Epstein, “that just means a lot of people agree to pay the same
price for one ounce of gold. In 2017, enough people agree on the value of
bitcoin that it can serve the same purpose. There will only ever be 21 mil-
lion bitcoins, but this limit comes from computer code, not by how many
bitcoins are left to remove from the earth. If we learn tomorrow that half of
Montana contained a secret cache of gold, the value of gold would de-
crease instantly. Bitcoin doesn’t have this problem.”
