Điều tra độc quyền: Sun Group, Địa Ngục Tự và ma trận chiếm lĩnh rừng quốc gia Tam Đảo
23/09/2019 – 07:00
PNO – Khi được giao nhiệm vụ đi tìm hiểu thông tin về dự án của Tập đoàn Sun Group tại rừng quốc gia Tam Đảo – Tam Đảo II, có giá trị 25.000 tỷ đồng, chúng tôi đã lạc vào ‘rừng thông tin’ chính thống và không chính thống.
Ông Toàn dẫn phóng viên vào thất định làm trò đồi bại
Lời tòa soạn: Từ Vườn Quốc gia Tam Đảo đến núi Bà Nà, núi rừng tan nát, chim muông cây cỏ bị thiêu rụi bởi mặt trời, nhưng mặt trời không phải từ trên cao, mà từ Sun Group (Tập đoàn Mặt trời).
Họ phá núi, đốn rừng, mở đường để dựng bê tông, xây khu vui chơi, đặt trạm kiểm soát, thu tiền. Sun Group xứng đáng được gọi là “trời”, bởi được che chắn từ hạ giới có tên là im lặng của chính quyền từ trung ương đến địa phương.
Và vẫn “bổn cũ soạn lại”, một mớ hư hư thực thực: trấn yểm long mạch, khởi phát tâm linh… đẻ ra từ liên kết giữa thầy chùa biến thái với doanh nghiệp hòng lùa người ta vào ma trận với đích duy nhất: kiếm tiền…
Đã từ lâu những tiếng nói phản biện, kêu cứu, uất ức về những dự án tàn phá tự nhiên của Sun Group vang lên, nhưng tất cả đều như một trò đùa. Không chặn bàn tay lông lá này lại thì long mạch đúng nghĩa sẽ bị chặt yểm, tà khí sẽ lộng hành, lòng người sẽ nát tan, non nước sẽ tả tơi.

Photo by VnExpress/Quoc Huy.Vietnam’s crude oil export is plunging, partly because of depleting resources. An industrialist says the situation can only improve after new fields come online in several years.
Crude exports volume from January 1 to February 15 this year fell nearly 50 percent year-on-year to 354,700 tonnes, according to Vietnam Customs.
Most of Vietnam’s oil and gas fields have been harnessed for over 20 years ago and run their course, said Hoang Ngoc Trung, deputy director of Petrovietnam Exploration Production Corporation Ltd.
In the last five years, crude oil prices have been falling, which has affected investment in searching for new fields, he told the Tuoi Tre newspaper.
The corporation’s output was 3.8 million tonnes last year, down marginally from 2019, and the figure is set to fall another 10 percent this year.
However, Vietnam’s crude oil prices remain higher than the global average.
The global average price of Brent crude oil last year was $41.8 per barrel, but Vietnam sold them for $43.7, 4.5 percent higher.
In the first two months, Brent crude was $58.53 per barrel, compared to $59.94 percent in Vietnam.
Trung said exploitation volume is set to recover in the next two or three years with several new fields such as Dai Hung and White Lion coming online.Related News:

Photo by VnExpress/Giang Huy.Vietnam has climbed up four spots to 79th out of 149 countries and territories included in the 2021 World Happiness Report.
Vietnam scored 5.411 points, up from the 5.353 it got last year, according to the latest report released by the Sustainable Development Solutions Network, a global initiative launched by the United Nations in 2012.
Using data from a Gallup World Poll, the ranking measured the happiness level in 149 economies across the world, based on six factors: GDP per capita, social support, healthy life expectancy, freedom to make life choices, generosity, and absence of corruption.
In Southeast Asia, Vietnam’s position was better than Malaysia (81), Indonesia (82), Laos (100), Cambodia (114) and Myanmar (126). It ranked behind Singapore (32), Thailand (54th) and the Philippines (61).Southeast Asia’s happiness ranking2021pointsSingaporeThailandPhilippinesVietnamMalaysiaIndonesiaLaosCambodiMyanmar01234567
Among the six factors, Vietnam performed best in freedom to make life choices, ranking 9th globally, while its generosity factor fared worst, at 112nd, with Vietnamese people deemed less generous than neighboring peers.
Life expectancy at birth in Vietnam is 68 years, putting the country in 50th place, while Singapore tops the world at 77 years, the report said.
Vietnam ranked 67th in social support and 98th in per capita GDP.
The country’s per capita income in 2020 was at $2,750, nearly 1.3 times higher than $2,109 in 2015.
In terms of corruption perception, Vietnam was in 68th place, much higher than Asian peers like South Korea and Japan.
Vietnam has been engaged in prolonged corruption spearheaded by Party chief and State President Nguyen Phu Trong. The crackdown has seen several high-profile government officials, top military officers and businessmen arrested and jailed for crimes from graft to money laundering.
Finland took the top spot in the ranking as the happiest country in the world, followed by Iceland and Denmark.
Countries at the bottom of the list were those afflicted by extreme poverty and violence, like Zimbabwe, South Sudan and Afghanistan.
This year’s ranking was collated slightly differently this time because of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Not only were researchers unable to complete face-to-face interviews in a number of countries, they also had to switch things up by focusing on the relationship between well-being and Covid-19.Related News:

The bear, flat on its back, was being pumped for its bile, a fluid drawn from its gallbladder that has long been used in traditional medicine to treat liver disease.
“I had seen visitors to Hanoi zoo who brought sticks to poke animals and it really made my blood boil,” Trang, the founder of local conservation group WildAct, told AFP.
“But conservation wasn’t something I really wanted to do until I witnessed what happened to this bear.”
It was the first of her many encounters with a global multi-billion-dollar illegal wildlife trade that devastates species the world over, fuels corruption and threatens human health.
She has gone undercover in South Africa to snare traffickers and secured a PhD in traditional medicine’s impact on wildlife.
Trang has also set up her home country’s first postgraduate course for aspiring conservationists, to help more Vietnamese make it to the top of her field.
In the 1990s, decades of war and isolation meant environmental awareness was a new notion in Vietnam.

You can thank female inventors for these now-everyday things.
Coffee filters. Monopoly. Windshield wipers. Wireless tech. These very different inventions share one thing in common: they were created by women. Despite their significant contributions, many of these female inventors have gone unrecognized.
In honor of International Women’s Day, take a moment to appreciate these six inventions we wouldn’t have without women.
Coffee Filters
Thanks to Melitta Bentz from Germany, you don’t have to worry about grounds in your cup of joe. In 1908, Bentz was in search of a better coffee-drinking experience. She was annoyed with the beverage’s bitter taste and floating grounds, so she began experimenting with sheets of blotting paper.
After punching holes in the bottom of a brass cup and lining it with the paper, she found a solution and created the paper coffee filter. She received a patent for her invention and started her own coffee-filter company from a room in her apartment.
Monopoly
Elizabeth “Lizzie” Magie came up with the first version of the game, patenting it in 1904 as The Landlord’s Game. She wanted to use the game to teach the masses about economic inequality, so she sold the patent to Parker Brothers for $500.
Thirty years later, a man named Charles Darrow renamed and redesigned her concept as Monopoly. He sold it to the Parker Brothers in 1935, with no mention of The Landlord’s Game.
Our summers are already about 20% longer than they used to be, and if the climate crisis continues unabated then northern hemisphere summers could cover nearly half of the year by 2100, making them more than twice as long as they were in the 1950s. And unlike their counterparts of the 1950s, future summers will be more extreme, with heatwaves and wildfires more likely.
Researchers used historical climate data to measure how much the seasons have changed already. They defined summer as the onset of temperatures in the hottest 25% for that time period and winter as the onset of the coldest 25% of temperatures. Their results, published in Geophysical Research Letters, show that the average northern hemisphere summer has grown from 78 to 95 days between 1952 and 2011, while winter has shrunk from 76 to 73 days. Spring and autumn have contracted too.

Australia has long been seen as failing to fully capitalise on its ground-breaking research. A consultation paper on university research commercialisation is the latest federal government effort to increase the impact of research. Its focus is on creating incentives for industry-university collaboration to translate and commercialise research.
Any government scheme resulting from these consultations might boost the number of such collaborations. Yet our research suggests many of these projects are unlikely to reach their full potential unless academics and their research partners working in industry strengthen their collaborative relationships.
TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — A migrant worker was recently fined by the National Immigration Agency (NIA) for trying to recruit women from his home country of Vietnam to marry his Taiwanese friend, via an online advertisement.
In a news release on Friday (March 19), the NIA said the Vietnamese man violated Taiwan’s Immigration Act by posting a marriage ad on Facebook to attract foreign brides. The message in the advertisement was written in Vietnamese and personal details of his Taiwanese friend were provided, it said.
