At this stage, we have no idea what the revenue department have, or have not thought of, if they have actually thought out any of this messy policy, but you are of the opinion they have thought of everything. 

I doubt they have thought of everything, but after dealing with them for twenty years, I know they are not stupid, and they are nothing if not relentless.

Read it again and try to understand the words. It was illegal.

No, if it were illegal, the campaign would have been charged.

So, Clinton or her campaign did not collude with Russia.

Exactly. The Clinton campaign illegally hired contractors to collude for them.

so, NO COLLUSION..fact!.., but, rather than admit you were wrong you move the goalposts to 'interference', but again, nothing that you cannot narrow down to anything specific?!

 

basically... NOTHING. you and your lefty cult denied the 2016 election result

Yeah, Hillary said he was an illegitimate President and that he stole the election countless times.

I transfer via Swift, not with XE, but everyone needs to make money. 

If you do not mind me asking, why transfer such a small amount?

No, it was not. Mueller concluded that he did not have evidence that would meet the burden of proof principle beyond a reasonable doubt that the campaign officials acted with general knowledge about the illegality of their conduct.

So no crime, that's what I thought.

So, back to you: Was Clinton or her campaign convicted of colluding with Russia? Were there even hints that they colluded with Russia? The links you provided so far does not say anything remotely about Clinton or her campaign colluding with Russia.

No, they were not convicted of colluding with Russia. They were "convicted" of campaign finance violations related to their not colluding with Russia regarding the phony Trump-Russia dossier. You guys still think that stuff is all true, yes?  

Hillary Clinton hired the DNC to pay the Perkins Coie law firm to pay Fusions GPS to pay Christopher Steel who was a British subject, a foreign national who was forbidden by statute to work for a Presidential campaign to collect a false dossier and seed it, and then she wrote the whole thing off not as a campaign expense, but as a legal expense. 

I see SangSom is once again in top spot as the bestselling rum in Thailand. 

I see a butt-load of those Atto 3s in Bangkok. Seeing a lot more Teslas now, and even a few of the "new" Ora 07s

Neither Clinton nor the Clinton campaign colluded with Russia. You do not collude with a country by collecting data from people in a country.

 

The Trump campaign did collude with Russia, and they hoped to collude even more:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trump_Tower_meeting

So, what was the Trump campaign ultimate convicted of as a result of the meeting? 

Just now, farang51 said:

 

I do not consider Fox News a trustworthy news outlet; however, even that article does not support your statement that Clinton colluded with Russia. I am not sure why you bring those links - in the hope that no one clicks and read what they actually say?

I said the Clinton campaign, not Clinton. Do you not think the Trump-Russia dossier required the people that were contracted to put it together had to collude with Russia to make it happen. 

Just now, farang51 said:

 

I guess your next link will be to an article about Clinton asking Russia to hack and release her emails.

Do you mean the subpoenaed emails that Hillary erased and then physically destroyed the drives they were on, those emails?

The word "Russia" is not included in that document.

 

This is:

"Indeed, the Commission received complaints alleging that Clinton’s joint fundraiser
violated the Federal Election Campaign Act (the “Act”) and Commission regulations. The only
trouble was, the allegations that stated a cognizable claim under the Act were not supported by
evidence, and the allegations supported by evidence did not state a cognizable claim under the
Act."

 

Do you have any other (any real) evidence that Clinton colluded with Russia?

May I know which bank you use in Thailand.

 

My experience with XE was a transfer from Australia to my Kasikorn bank account.

 

The money arrived in a Bank bank account (I don't have a BKB account) and a small fee was deducted. BKB then transferred to my Kasikorn account using a service from which the name slips me, and that added a service fee of about 350 baht.

 

Edit: just found the transaction in my history.

 

Today your transfer arrived in my account, and it was only 1040 Baht,.

 

I have called my bank already and they have investigated

 

XE has transferred to Bangkok bank, who charge 350 Baht fee. Bangkok bank then transfers to Kasikorn, but since this is a Bahtnet transfer, Kasikorn charges another 110 Baht, so total fee 460 Baht.

 

Kasikorn has suggested that you take it up with XE, since you haven't asked to transfer to Bangkok bank, but i think there is little chance they will take up their responsibility.

 

I include screenshots from the transfer.

 

I think when I transfer from my US bank (Chase) to my Thai banks (Kasikorn and Krungsri) a fee is charged when the bank receives dollars, but no fee is charged when the bank receives baht.

GENEVA (12 June 2024) – Israeli authorities are responsible for war crimes and crimes against humanity committed during the military operations and attacks in Gaza since 7 October 2023, the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and Israel, said in a new report today. The Commission also found that Palestinian armed groups are responsible for war crimes committed in Israel. 

The Commission’s report – the UN’s first in-depth investigation of the events that took place on and since 7 October 2023 – is based on interviews with victims and witnesses conducted remotely and during a mission to Türkiye and Egypt, thousands of open-source items verified through advanced forensic analysis, hundreds of submissions, satellite imagery and forensic medical reports. Israel obstructed the Commission’s investigations and prevented its access to Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territory.

“It is imperative that all those who have committed crimes be held accountable,” said Navi Pillay, Chair of the Commission. “The only way to stop the recurring cycles of violence, including aggression and retribution by both sides, is to ensure strict adherence to international law.”

If Israel controls Gaza, why is it taking them so long to eradicate Hamas and to get the hostages back? 

And how did Hamas build all those tunnels that the hide with hamaspitals? 

It's brilliant, surely the revenue department has not thought of this...

You stated: "Many move their life savings to Thailand, simply because they live in Thailand.  Unwise, in my opinion." to which I responded with: "Yeah, I do not know anyone that has." which means you are not able formulate a coherent response. 

And yes, you have invested in Thailand as well.

My position is that there is nothing terribly wrong with investing in Thailand. So far, my position has not needed defending.

And I asked, tell me what make some investments in Thailand a good idea?

Says the guy that is never able to actually answer a question. 

I think manufacturing in Thailand is a generally a good investment if you know the product and market, the company we started here in 2020 is still doing fine, and it treated me quite well.

A lot of people have invested in gold here and done okay.

Have you seen the amount of properties for sale here?  Massive oversupply. 

 

I have not advocated anyone buy property here, but both of the properties we have turned out okay. Still kicking myself for not buying a downtown property I had a chance at. I do take comfort in that the wife talked me out of it....

Again, given your fear of risk, you are better off sticking to fixed accounts in your home country that have treated you so well.
