    It is the man from East side. He is not a Chinese. He is U.S. citizen and currently, he has lived in one area of New York City (New York State). He is from one country of Southeast Asian. He ever contacted Aliens (from UFOs). Aliens changed his brain and they gave him new techniques such as how to made earthquake, using AI and other things. He is also a weapon expertise (self-learning). He invented 3 kind of weapons which can defeat enemy's aircraft carriers and warships, and destroying enemy forces if the enemy is underwater, on the sea, or on shore or on land. If the enemy sees that weapon, the enemy can only run back and find a quick place to hide. They cannot advance. I think that China really craves the weapons which he invented. If China has those weapons, they will be sure to win in the South China Sea, Taiwan Strait and other wars. He has inherited the genes from his ancestors. His ancestors were Eastern nobles and Eastern royalty. He has known about the art of politics and military. He said Ukraine, Western and American forces cannot defeat Putin if they do not change the tactics of the war art. Although he invented more than 20 inventions (including weapons) but he has not applied for patents because he has known that Chinese spies will get in the database of USPT and steal them. He sent an email to a factory specializing in manufacturing weapons in the United States and suggested them cooperate with him to produce that weapon but they ignored it. He added that, maybe someday, he will go to the office of FBI and submitting what he has to FBI. If FBI ignored; he will sell his inventions (weapons) to Russia or China. Currently, the world faces many hot issues, from war to the tyrannical behavior of aggressive and brutal nations. Our living environment is devastated, seriously polluted from the ground to the space surrounding the earth. We are seeing that the UN is powerless, doing nothing. They only have one thing to do, which is to cry for our country to pay money. The UN has a total of 38,000 employees but what are they all doing? He has had a university degree (from his native country) and a degree from business technology school (America). He wrote a lot of works and he has had more than 10 copyright certifications (from US copyright office). He invented more than 20 inventions. Those inventions are very helpful to humankind. He is also a former employee of the state of New York. So, he served as an official of the United States government. The UN needs a new leader to help this world and humankind. He said that if he was General of Secretary of UN; he will do many new things such as establishing a new court, and reforming United Nations, and creating more laws to protect weak nations and people, etc. So, he has enough qualified, talent and ability to lead United Nations. Does U.S. government want to look for him? The man from East side, the savior of the world that prophets and scriptures spoke of, he is here; he has lived in New York State of America.
