There is no evidence to support your claim. NONE. Successive independent reviewes showed that 8 of the 9 guilty organizers was British Pakistani and the other Afghani. Please substantiate your claim.

As you do not understand, it is best that you first educate yourself on the incident. Alberta is a province, not a state. Mr. Robinson did not lie on his visa application and was in the country legally. Mr. Robinson was arrested at the request of the Canada Border Services Agency on the basis that there was a discrepancy between his declared criminal record and the information provided on his travel authorization application to enter Canada. The discrepancy was in fact an "after the fact" subjective reading of the declaration. Mr. Robinson's criminal record had already been reviewed prior to his arrival which is how he had received the travel authorization in the first place. He attended a review and was immediately cleared and allowed to continue on his speaking tour. It is believed that the detention was politically motivated by the federal Liberal government. The political motivation opinion is supported because the CBSA had not acted in this manner previously, and the review found that the declaration had been truthful and the authorization appropriately issued.

The initial riots were the result of disinformation; Multiple social media postings described the assailant as an asylum seeker, or a recently arrived refugee in Britain by crossing the English Channel illegally on a raft, or as a dangerous man on a terror watch list. The accused is a person born in Cardiff, Wales, from a reportedly law abiding, low profile family. The accused is legally a minor and is described as autistic. The end result of a mob gathering to protest "illegals" is an example of an organized disinformation campaign, that has achieved a desired result of upending social cohesion and inciting violence. Ask yourself who benefits from the UK be subject to disorder. Many of the people participating in the protests do not care about the issue of immigration or the social implications. They were there for the havoc and looting. The people who really care about the issue did not engage in violence or vandalism. This is no different than what happens at other riots and "protests" when there is property destruction and vandalism. Violent participants should therefore be treated as the criminals that they are. Vandals and looters are not patriots. Yes, many of those people engaged in unlawful activities. Their wrongful acts do not excuse the current unlawful acts of the Southport related hooligans. These events occurred in the UK. Making reference to "Kamala" and "lefties" is nonsensical. Kamala Harris had no involvement with any protests in the UK. Your claim of MSM clowns is unsupported by fact. Please provide an event that supports your statement. What happened in the USA in respect to local US events has not relationship to the events in the UK. Perhaps that is due to your own biased perception and the refusal of media in the UK to identify implicated parties. For example the recent incident involving BBC newsreader Huw Edwards was kept quiet, until his guilty plea. The Rochdale sex crimes Pakistani involvement was kept quiet for years as there was a fear of offending the SE Asian community. In Thailand, it is a national sport to identify bad farangs when it suits local needs.

The foreign language facilitators are there for business reasons, not for patient best interests. If the hospitals wish to sell its services to foreigners, they need to be able to service the clientele. The facilitator can explain services offered and tests recommended. A patient is more likely to agree to a test or a procedure if the patient understands the need for it. The more services and tests purchased, the greater the hospital profit.

As mentioned above, Accent and dialect are decisive. When english language speakers go to parts of the USA, they have a problem understanding many of the locals or some parts of the UK, Scotland and Ireland. Some of these people are unintelligible to people outside the region. French speakers have a hard time understanding the local accents of Acadiens and rural Quebecers. Italian speakers from Canada and the USA often speak in a language that was spoken by their relatives who left Italy 100+ years ago

There is overwhelming evidence of organized disinformation campaigns managed by Russia and Iran. China has a lesser involvement. It therefore follows that this forum will have members who are aligned with the disinformation campaigns. The most likely to be involved will be those who are already predisposed to supporting the policies of these countries. The messaging the countries provide is compatible with the pre-existing bias of these people and so they are most likely to promote and support the Russian/Iranian/Chinese disinformation. Examples of this are the defenders of the invasion of Ukraine and the "excusers" of the shooting down of the Malaysian passenger aircraft over Ukraine. The US cyber intelligence agencies have documented how Russia relies on 'unwitting Americans' to spread election disinformation. Russia also uses westerners who deliberately wish to spread false information, as well as commercial public relations firms in Russia to spread the disinformation. A cornerstone of the strategy relies on planting false information in social media which is then picked up by people who then repost the false information. Two Russian linked PR firms were identified in March: They created fake websites and social media profiles to spread Kremlin disinformation. The disinformation included false information on candidates, immigration, crime and the war in Gaza. Other examples are the conspiracy claims that came out after the Trump assassination attempt. There was a deluge of idiotic claims that it was a Ukraine or Biden campaign plot. When that did not stick, there were claims that Biden was incapacitated and that the deep state was at work to remove both Trump and Biden. Russian propaganda has been overtly pro Trump. In a joint operation, Dutch, Canadian and US intelligence organizations recently took down a very sophisticated Russian cyber unit. Full details available here https://www.ic3.gov/Media/News/2024/240709.pdf?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery It details the Russian operations and is a must read. China's activities are focused on its own immediate interests such as sabotaging western - Taiwan relations, or promoting stories on Covid that shifted attention away from China and its activities. It is not specifically active in US presidential politics although it has been linked to multiple stories related to the Gaza war. The Chinese strategy is to promote blame for the war on the west, and to circulate false claims of wrongdoing against the west. This is intended to cast China in the role of the neutral friend. The Iranian disinformation campaign has been bold and assertive. It has ranged from mass media posting of staged videos, to cyber attacks, to cyber hacking and to mass postings on social media of stories intended to stir up anger about the USA, France, Israel and the UK. Iran has gone one step further by directly supporting Gaza related protests as civil unrest in the west works to its advantage. The US intelligence service has documented the groups linked to Iran who have posed as online activists, encouraged protests and who have provided financial support to some protest groups. Nor can there be any denying that the Iranian disinformation has targeted Trump as he is seen as being hostile to Iran since he was against the lifting of nuclear related sanctions, authorized the elimination of a top Iranian Republican Guards general, and acted to contain Iranian military support of the Houthi in Yemen. Many of the negative stories about Trump based upon false information originate with Iranian agents.

I offer that Haniyeh was not a negotiator other than in description for propaganda purposes. Western media such as BBC have also called him a "moderate", despite his history of direct involvement in multiple violent and deadly actions. The reliance on biased information by the the western media is one of the distressing aspects of this conflict. It highlights the removal and destruction of independent news media and journalism.

Unfortunately, that is not the usual outcome. Typically, they run into people or animals or property, injuring or killing or damaging the property of the victims.

I am ambivalent. I was previously situated there prior, but left several years ago. Had not been back since Covid. We went for a visit about a year ago. Really shocked by what I saw. It has lost the little Thai flavour that it once had. Too much traffic for the inadequate infrastructure. Over developed.

You are not providing complete information. For Canadian residents, they can qualify for Old Age pension at 65 years+, are a Canadian citizen or a legal resident and have have resided in Canada for at least 10 years since the age of 18. For Canadian citizens living outside Canada, they can qualify they can qualify for Old Age pension at 65 years+, are a Canadian citizen or a legal resident on the day before they left Canada and have have resided in Canada for at least 20 years since the age of 18. In addition is an old age guaranteed Income supplement, and the respective Canadian or Quebec work pension plans, which are relatively generous. If the 20 years applies to you, it is because you were not living in Canada and most likely not paying taxes sufficient to fund the pension obligation. In respect to the spousal visas they are difficult to obtain because of the risk of human trafficking. The US and Canadian approach is the same and it is based upon there having been a problem with women trafficked in until the visa rules were tightened. There was a big problem in Canada with eastern European women brought in for sex work, and that resulted in restrictions put on many visas. Some eastern Canadians travel to Cuba and the Dominican Republic where they meet a spouse. (It's usually western women seeking out husbands). The past experience was that these were spouses of convenience. People would divorce shortly after receiving their landed immigrant status. The UK has had similar issues with women coming back from North Africa with questionable partners. The expenditure of tens of millions on repatriating wives of ISIL terrorists and their children from Syria, and the former misuse of the visa particularly by Haitians, North Africans and Indians and SouthEast Asians did not support continuation of easy spousal visas.

PM Johnson made 26 foreign visits during his time as PM. The UK has had an historical relationship with Ukraine since 1945 when the UK actively recruited Ukraine workers. There were multiple visits between their leaders. Even PM Thatcher visited Ukraine. The UK could not have close relations with Ukraine while it was still under the yoke of the Soviet Union's tyranny. However, once the Russian tyrants temporarily withdrew , relations grew. You seem to forget that the UK was involved in the Ukraine giving up its nuclear weapons. Your fixation on the PM's visits to the Ukraine are irrelevant. PM Johnson visited 3 times over 2 years. prior to the war, President of Ukraine president Victor Yuschenko visited the UK 3 times in one year. The visits to the Ukraine were important because Russia had invaded Europe and violated previous agreements. The invasion put European allies at risk. PM Johnson also visited nations who had been targeted by Russian military threats and incursions. These visits included; Poland, Estonia, Sweden and Finland. PM Johnson visited India at a time it was facing border tensions with China and Pakistan. He also visited Rwanda and the UAE (2X). Why would you expect the PM of the UK to visit the Congo? The UK did not have a significant relationship with the country. Belgium and France are the Congo's key allies. The UK has 34 agreements and MoUs in effect with Ukraine dating back to 1991 when diplomatic relations were restored after the Russian occupational forces influence diminished. Until then, Russia did not allow Ukraine the freedom to establish relations with other nations without Russian approval. https://uk.mfa.gov.ua/en/partnership/881-ukrajina-velika-britanija/593-dogovirno-pravova-baza-mizh-ukrajinoju-ta-velikoju-britanijeju

Don't be so sure of that. Trump claims he knew nothing about it despite it being steered by close confidants who served in his administration. When MAGA talks about a deep state, this is an example, except it is the Trump faction acting as a state within a state.

Perhaps you imagined. The bond is $175 million and is underwritten by Knight Specialty Insurance, which only holds a B++ A.M. Best rating. As reported by Forbes, Trump secured his bond with his Schwab brokerage investment account as collateral. The Schwab investment account "allows you to buy and sell a variety of investments, such as stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and ETFs. " I mention the B++ rating because it reinforces the refusal of bond issuers to underwrite the trump bond because of underwriting concerns. Almost all lending covenants with well financed financial institutions require insurance to be placed with insurers who have no less than an A or A- rating.

Context matters. The last time illegal border crossings really peaked was in 2020 during the last year of the Clinton term. it was a period of civil unrest and economic problems in Central America. The numbers started to increase again with the Trump administration. This increase accompanied civil unrest in migrant nations. Had it not been for Covid, which allowed the legal closing of US borders, the USA would have seen a massive influx of migrants. Once the border closing was lifted, the pent up migrations came back and surged. Border walls could not stop these migrants. What was needed was increased personnel and processing potential to legally remove the migrants quickly. That was why there was a bipartisan effort to fund the border. Everyone knows that the border is screwed up. President Bush (the son) had a decent border agreement ready to go, but extremist Republicans blocked it. It was a progressive, effective piece of legislation and would have prevented the problems we see today. the only way to address the border problem is a combined bipartisan approach. The Trump faction trying to impose its solution that can be challenged in the courts isn't going to work. nor will the "pathway to citizenship" free for all for illegal migrants work. Go back and reconsider the Bush era legislation. it will require give and take from all interested parties.

The simplistic labeling of various interest groups only serves to support your biased views. How about you deal with the existing facts; Iran is a supporter of international terrorist groups. The October 7 attack on Israel was in large part intended to prevent the normalization of relations with KSA and continued building of a relationship with North African Arab states. Iran is not an Arab nation and has always been at odds with most Arab nations in large part because it is Shiite and the Arabs tend to be Sunni, the original Islamic faith. When the Arabs were at war with Israel, Iran was a strong Israeli ally. When the Arabs started making peace, Iran was an enemy of Israel. it also warred with other Arabs. Iran is an international troublemaker, meddling in the foreign affairs of the Arab world and supporting reactionary Shiite groups. The hand of Turkiye is not far removed either. As the former colonial oppressor of the Arab world it still harbors designs over regaining its influence. It is Turkiye that is one of the principal reasons why the Arab world was left in a mess. It was the Ottoman Empire that controlled what we now call Syria and Lebanon today. Israel was a department of Damascus and there was no "Palestine". There was Arabia. The Arabs rose up and with the support of France and Great Britain gained their independence after WWI. Jordan, the land now called the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, (carved out of Ottoman Assyria), and the current nation of Israel all owe their creation to the collapse of the Ottoman Empire and the ensuing British, French and Arab agreement. Erdogan mourns his nation's loss of influence. He is angry that Israel is developing the oil and gas fields in Israeli territorial waters with Egypt, Greece and Cyprus. Turkey uses Iran to further its own political interests as disorder in the Arab world gives Turkyie an opportunity to have influence. The despotic mullahs are the source of the problems and they must be removed. The Iranian people have been denied an opportunity to have anything other than an Islamic dictatorship since the overthrow of the Shah. Give the Iranians a chance to choose, and they may very well remain an Islamic state, but they would most likely choose to have their oil revenues directed to social services and development rather than terrorism and war. if there is a war, it will be because of Iranian aggression. The Arab world for the most part won't care if Iran is neutralized, and on the contrary will most likely covertly assist.

Come back and ask me when the arrest warrant is issued. What exists now is the opinion of Karim Khan, a prosecutor.This opinion is legally questionable and is not final. As a reminder, in his capacity as ICC representative leading prosecutions against ISIL in Iraq in 2021, he did not bring any significant islamic jihadists to justice. He did however, achieve his fame defending mass murderer Charles Taylor, the despotic cannibal strongman of Liberia. He also represented Sudanese rebel leader Bahr Idriss Abu Garda in the case where Garda's group undertook a mass murder of OAU peacekeepers, and he was the Lead Counsel for Saif al-Islam Gaddaf, the Libyan murderer. No doubt that he is a competent counsel. Unfortunately, he seems a man of curious actions.

And how many of them have done so? Why would anyone wish to open themselves up to IRS tax filings? The trend for the wealthy is to avoid USA tax exposures. So, answer honestly, how many of your Thai middle class friends have purchased land and houses in the USA?

FYI, the original Jamaicans are believed to have been Arawaks an indigenous people who migrated from South America. The Europeans brought slaves from Africa to work their farms. Therefore the term Afro Jamaican to describe a person of African heritage is accurate.

Do you want to revise your claim, now that the polling results show her surge? The GOP is in a state of panic. Vance's cat lady insult did not go over well. What is your motive for insulting VP Harris? Is it pettiness, jealousy, resentment? VP Harris is obviously anything but a moron. She is educated, successful and was a well respected prosecutor, state attorney general and senator. VP Harris was "never given the job of stopping 3 million immigrants". The VP has no legal authority to oversee immigration or border security. There is no position called border Tsar. The person responsible for border security is the Secretary of Homeland Security. The brown woman comment is pathetic. It really is. No he did not. The border wall was a financial fiasco. He spent billions ona fence that was soon easily dotted with breaches. Trump’s administration only built 52 miles of new primary border barriers. Last October, the Biden administration started building 20 miles of new primary wall. Border walls are not an effective solution. Smugglers cut through the metal bollards with a handsaw that can be purchased at any local hardware store. Fencing requires frequent repair and round-the-clock monitoring. Trump sabotaged the bipartisan border security bill that would have provided the funding to patrol, monitor and secure the border. Border fences are an environmental blight as they interfere with animal movement and migrations.

On the contrary, you have made up an interpretation of New York state law. Trump’s New York concealed carry license was suspended on April 1, 2023, following his indictment on criminal charges in New York. Two of the three pistols he was licensed to carry were turned over to the NYPD on March 31, 2023, and a third gun listed on Trump’s license was reportedly moved to Florida. (This was an allowed move as he was not yet convicted.) The law requires the surrender of firearms upon conviction of a felony. The only way the surrender can be reversed is to obtain a certificate of relief, which gives permission to have the firearm, or to have the conviction overturned at appeal. This was reported on and is public knowledge. Is the conservative New York Post an acceptable reference for you? https://nypost.com/2024/06/01/us-news/donald-trump-must-surrender-firearms-after-felony-conviction/

No. That is not historically accurate. Russia unilaterally annexed Crimea in 2014. The invasion of Ukraine began on February 24th, 2022. The peace talks only began on February 28, 2022. These were held outside of Lyakhavichy in Belarus. The talks continued for weeks as fighting raged. The Russians has assumed that they would rush through Ukraine and destroy the Ukraine military quickly. The Russian position was a demand for unilateral surrender. As the war continued, the Russians realized that they would not have an easy time, and the peace talks then moved to Turkey in March. As Russian atrocities like the Bucha mass murderers and tortures, the Ukrainianians were forced into an untenable situation: They could not give in to the Russians who had undertaken these atrocities. No he did not. PM Johnson went to Ukraine in early April to show support to the country, particularly after the Russian war crimes were discovered. Ukraine was hurting and he did what a responsible international leader should do.

And yet, she won the most important poll of all when Joe Biden was elected President, since she became the Vice President. BTW, the current polls indicate that she has eaten in Trump's lead, so she has to be doing something right.

The people who were going to vote for Trump 6 months ago, will still vote for him, Same as the people who would vote for Biden, will now vote for Harris. Nothing anyone says or does is going to change these core voters. they don't want to know or hear about anything as their minds are made up. Same as in the forums here. What will change are the relatively small number of voters who were not likely to vote because they disliked both Trump and Biden. Biden is gone, and for voters who were hesitating, the reason has gone.

Not a good idea to pack in luggage because the devices, can and do combust. The design and quality is neither regulated, nor consistent.

Please provide context. When did he last agree to a release of hostages because as of 24 July 2024, 115 hostages remained in captivity in the Gaza Strip, 111 of whom had been abducted on 7 October 2023; the other four hostages having been captured earlier. All decisions on the hostages are made by Sinwar and others who are safe in Qatar. Perhaps you are unaware, but the hostages are not all held by Hamas. Multiple groups hold the hostages. The likelihood of these groups releasing the hostages has always been remote. The sad reality is that the hostages were lost once several weeks passed. They are only held now for the pleasure of their captors.
