Not sure why you think Europe is not socialist, or what you have against the British Commonwealth countries, but otherwise I understand your point.

 

What I will say if you don't believe what I said is just wait until this psyop is over and then come back to this again.

 

The vast majority of what you are seeing right now on the global stage is scripted nonsense to A) keep people distracted and B) force such an absurd situation that people have to take notice and question what they believe to be true. It *IS* a psyop. The US military has been engaged in espionage warfare with the globalist criminal syndicate for the last several years, and the war is nearly over. The final result is going to be the end of the globalist criminal syndicate controlling Western governments. The USA is NOT in charge. It has never been in charge during our lifetimes. It has merely been the public enforcement arm of the globalist cabal. The actual headquarters of the syndicate is in Switzerland (or thereabouts), but the factions are everywhere.  This is the mafia element that is being defeated and eliminated, and this is what the coming DECLAS will eventually show. Have a conspiracy theorist friend handy to explain to you what is going on when this all comes out.

 

If you can understand how mafias were able to control municipalities like Chicago and New York in the early 20th, you should understand how they can control larger world governments. It's the same process. The globalist mafia just keeps themselves secret. JFK told us all there was no place in the US for secret societies, and he was going to break apart the CIA into a thousand pieces. He then went after the Rothschild's controlled private central bank, and shortly thereafter was assassinated. What is happening now is the final chapter of a war that was started back then.

I'm sorry but it just reads like some futuristic sci fi movie synopsis. Or, more likely, a computer game that's leaked into your brain and taken it over. I know the buzz you get from coding, it's like no other, and I think conspiracy theories are linked to that. They make you feel empowered, somehow you're smart enough to have figured out what's REALLY going on in the world. How it all works and fits together. All you have to do now is sit back, watch it happen, and be proved right. I read the same thing on comments sections on the Ukraine war, the US elections, BRICS, Western hegemony, Deep State, the globalist cabal, the globalist mafia etc etc. There's nothing new in these theories. They've been around for centuries. Every now and then they get updated. With the arrival of the internet in the 90s they really came into their own. Believe what you will! We all do!

I'm not a lawyer, but it might be a requirement to shorten a post to the part you are replying to because the last sentence of number seven of the Standards of conduct says, "Only quote the person you are replying to, and only quote the relevant section that you are discussing."

Well I hope you'll take it all on board in future. It's a matter of common sense to me. As I said before, if you just press "Quote" it works. If you want to quote only the bits you think are relevant, well, thats a subjective judgment you're making. Others might disagree, including the OP. Most posts are short enough that they don't normally need editing in a reply. I've seen posts outrageously and wilfully mangled in replies. I'll stick with the "Quote" button unless editing is obviously required for brevity. Another technique is to simply use the "Quote" button and then quote the bits from within the OP that you want to comment on.

I have done that now and thank you for the additional information. Your link was apparently posted two hours after my comment so I don't believe the 'heaven's sake' should apply?

Sorry, I didn't check time stamps. Point taken, apology offered.

I only make changes in the posts of others by shortening them. So, that does not appear to be a violation of rule 28.

 

28. You will not make changes to messages quoted from other members posts, except for purposes of shortening the quoted post. Do not shorten any post in a way that alters the context of the original post. Do not change the formatting of the post you are quoting.

Hard to see how you can shorten a post without erasing a certain amount of context. In any event, I took issue with what you did and it seems the moderators did too. I would have been happy to argue your point of REDUCTIO etc, as I don't believe my comment actually was guilty of that. I merely pointed out, albeit using a phrase i think you found objectionable, ie "back to the jungle" or some such, simply to illustrate the possible outcome of a totally laissez faire policy, where anything goes, a phrase I used to qualify the jungle remark. From what I've read, we actually agree on the notion of an individual taking responsibility for what they post. But in an anonymous forum, stuff gets posted which I think is unacceptable, as nobody can realistically be held accountable, and that may be where we differ. But who's to say what's acceptable? Americans seem to lean towards anything. But as I think we agree, actions have consequences. People are within their rights (don't laugh) to call foul. Otherwise there's nothing to discuss. You can say what you like, as can I. Until it gets personal, as it often does. Does anything get resolved? No.

Yes, just did a quick search ....all related to approvals being delayed......which immediately makes me think of brown envelopes.....no idea why

I was thinking maybe he handed out 4 or 5 of the phones to the IOs, and was released. Whereupon he scarpered. Stupid to come back, but I don't think back then they had finger printing or face recognition, but if he used the same name even with a different passport, well, asking for trouble.

I wasn't trying to 'make a comment'.....I was surprised and had just never come across the fact it was banned or not allowed.

Nor had I. There was a lot missing from the TE post.

hard choice between a convicted (in Australia) drug dealer and a sleepy/fatty gold watch good for nothing guy, what is Anutin getting

I think the headline is misleading. The PPP has actually put forward Thammanat as a candidate for a government post, so it's not a question of Prawit or him. Seems like Prawit backed down. Originally he wasn't going to back him. That's why Thammanat had a hissy fit and threatened to take his cronies out of the PPP. Ung Ing would be mad to go anywhere near him. And everybody knows it.

It's against forum rules. You've been found doing it twice. Can't figure out why it's a no no? Think about it.

Good point! Could be he quickly skipped Thailand whilst on police bail and re-entered before the police processed his arrest warrant and input it into the immigration system?

Read the link I posted for heaven's sake!

Banned???

Ok "Back in 2017, the iPhone 8 was not allowed to be sold in Thailand" according to the link I posted.

Doesn't make sense. An iphone 16pro 6gb/128 retails in Thailand for 37,000 Bt. And in Australia sells for $1,849, which is approx 43,000 Bt. So he's smuggling iphones into Thailand to sell at a loss of 6000 bt per phone?

These were iPhone 8s, and banned for use in Thailand back in 2017, when he was stopped at customs in BKK.

No, I did not cut and paste your comment. I've used that line before, but it is entirely my own. So, you can stop indulging in self-flattery.

Well, the post in question, regarding "REDUCTIO AD ABSURDAM", has disappeared. It was the text of my comment that you edited by copying and pasting parts of, into your reply. If you want to reply, you just press "Quote". Don't quote the bits you want and edit out the rest.

BTW how did you find them? Were you searching for the weirdest "equipment"?

Haha. No, Temu has sent me ads for a variety of oddball items. I've never searched for anything like that, well, maybe but a very long time ago. Things like rubber pants with a sort of hose attached. The mind boggles. Might work on the space station though. Who knows? Any volunteers?

Avoid Thammanat like the plague if they want to avoid any accusations of ethical violations. Even though he has been a fixture in the PT coalition, this could easily change and a Srettha style complaint made against Ung Ing for appointing him, a convicted felon. Dump the PPP and Roly Poly Prawit.

With the man and woman astronauts' space journey extended from eight days to eight months, I wonder how they handle their sexual urges. With the picture of the female's hair standing on end like Barbarella's one wonders if the two have found a way to handle them despite the problem of weightlessness.

Presumably they'd have to strap themselves together or it could prove extremely frustrating. I'm sure there's something on Temu that fits the bill. They appear to market the weirdest "equipment".

There is at least one very well established law firm in Bangkok with a team of American lawyers, amongst others. They can't represent you in court, but I'd say their advice is trustworthy 100%. Recommend you come and talk to them. Here, you will get anecdotes and personal experience, but not reliable legal advice. Both have their value of course!

There is no evidence to support your claim. What we do see is that some people with a political agenda are attempting to use the crisis to promote their own political views and to spread false information. The measures taken to date are  to contain and to control spread within high risk groups by offering free vaccination to high risk individuals. There has been no suggestion of a mass vaccination campaign, nor will there be a need if the containment efforts work,

 

 

There is no evidence to support your claim. The "formula" and technology to  manufacture the vaccine already exists. As such, much of the cost to make the vaccine available has already been paid for. At risk groups have been offered the vaccine in an effort to contain the spread. No one else is being offered the vaccine, even if they request it.

 

Although MPox is currently most associated with certain risk groups, we are all at risk if it spreads. Its characteristics can facilitate its spread. The argument can be made that  authorities are downplaying the risk to minimize  panic and to prevent a mass run on vaccines.  As per the US CDC information.

 

Close or Intimate Contact:   Regardless of type, mpox virus can spread to anyone through close, personal contact, including:

-Direct skin-to-skin contact with mpox rash or scabs from a person with mpox

-Contact with saliva, upper respiratory secretions (snot, mucus), and bodily fluids or lesions around the anus, rectum, or vagina from a person with mpox

-Pregnant people with mpox can pass the virus to the fetus during pregnancy or to the newborn during and after birth.

 

Direct contact can happen during intimate contact, including:

-Oral, anal, or vaginal sex, or touching the genitals (penis, testicles, labia, and vagina) or anus

-Hugging, massage, and kissing

-Prolonged face-to-face interactions (such as talking or breathing)

-Touching Objects

-Mpox virus can spread to anyone through contact with objects, fabrics, and surfaces that have not been disinfected after use by someone with mpox. This includes items like clothing, bedding, towels, fetish gear, or sex toys.

 

Infected Animals

Mpox can spread from animals to people in a few ways:

-Through small wild animals in West and Central Africa, where mpox is endemic (found naturally).

-Direct close contact with an infected animal, fluids or waste, or getting bitten or scratched.

-During activities like hunting, trapping, or processing infected wild animals in areas where mpox is endemic.

 

The  common western take away is that only  gays in the "western world" are at risk. This is a simplification. Close contact with the infected and a lack of hygiene are the factor. The vaccination guidelines are to offer the vaccine to  contacts of the infected, travelers to  risk zones and to the active MSM segment.

 

The disease is spread in Africa because the locals insist on using  "bush meat" even when told not to do so. The importation of the products by travelers occurs regularly and almost every time the screeners at arrival intercept. there are cries of  racial profiling. Western travelers to Thailand shouldn't be smug either. Every year, Thai authorities intercept fruits, vegetables, meats and cheeses from westerners that are infested with invasive  species or contaminated with infectious agents like Listeria.

 

Excellent comment. Here's the link to the article on WHO's website:

https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/monkeypox#:~:text=The monkeypox virus was discovered,occasionally from animals to people.

As you can see, it's been around for a while. The date on the linked article is already over a year old. There was an outbreak in the US in 2022. 14,000 infections recorded in DRC with 60% amongst children. There's history and valuable information available everywhere. No need for conspiracy theories, gay bashing, Western hegemony, globalist blah blah. It's a highly transmissible disease. Inform yourselves and draw your own conclusions.

I was told they tend to make ideal nesting trees for all manner of furry animals. They're called Telegraph pole trees in Philippines.

Not "Anything goes". Personal responsibility, rather than government control and censorship. There is a huge difference.

 

People like to say free speech does not mean you can scream FIRE! in a crowded theater. But that is EXACTLY what it means. However, you must also accept responsibility for the consequences of your speech. In this case, public endangerment.  You can punish crimes that are the results of speech, but not the speech itself.

 

Those who think the socialist model of Europe and the Commonwealth countries are superior, are really just relinquishing their rights freedoms so that a central authority decide what privileges they are allowed have back. This model will NEVER fly in America, and indeed many thousands of patriots have given their lives to make sure that it can't happen. Historical America treated its free people as grown ups, not children.

 

The reason America is in the state it is right now, is that for several generations foreign entities have been using psychology and manipulation to try and get Americans to accept the globalist model of dictatorship and control, but this is incompatible with the core values of the country. And it was always bound to fail. That is what MAGA is all about. It is eviscerating the influence of the globalist criminal syndicate from American institutions, and getting America back to its core principles. This is a messy struggle, as it has been infused with so much corruption from foreign powers intent on destroying and subjugating the country. But it's clear that the final push is now ready. And once exposed, the globalist tyrants who tried to enslave humanity and America will be exposed, leading to a new age of enlightenment not just in America, but across the world. The victory in America will spread to the European Bloc and the Commonwealth, providing a shining example of what genuine freedom looks like.

 

There are many who fear this because they've been controlled and manipulated for so long. They don't know how to think independently any more. But over time everyone will understand. There may still be minor skirmishes, but global wars don't start when people, not power drunk tyrants, are allowed to make the decisions.

 

Free speech....truly free, unfettered, critical speech, not the limited version of this allowed by central authorities in Europe...is the keystone that makes all of this possible.

The first 2 paragraphs I can accept. It's what I say in my comment. But I'm afraid from my point of view, you completely leave the rails thereafter. Socialist Europe? And the Commonwealth? Globalist tyrants? Isn't the leader of western hegemony (you missed that one) supposed to be the US? It's all gibberish in any case. I read this stuff everywhere. USA the saviour of the world! It's a nuthouse! Look at this thread for starters. Written in the main by kids for kids.

What you're doing is presenting what is known as a "REDUCTIO AD ABSURDUM" argument. You're attempting to disprove my position by taking it to an absurd conclusion. However, you're leaping to an exaggerated and unwarranted conclusion without establishing a clear and logical connection. So, try again please!

 

 

You've cut and pasted my comment. I think it was you who did this before. I'm going to report it again. You have to follow the forum roles. Doesn't bode well for your ideas of freedom of speech. If you want to repost quoting my entire comment, I will refute your specious argument. Copied and pasted from where I wonder?
