This clearly demonstrates one of two possibilities: 1. ASEAN is completely oblivious to the nature of the terrorist regime still holding out in parts of Burma; or 2. It seeks to aid the military dictatorship in regaining power. The S.A.C. does not respect ceasefires, even when declared by itself and observed by the Resistance forces. This has been demonstrated multiple times in the past and most recently following this year's devastating earthquake. The regime's understanding of a ceasefire is that the other side downs arms but they do not. Moreover they do not merely strike at the EAOs and PDFs [Ethnic Armed Organisations and People's Defence Forces] but at the non-combatant civilian population, and in particular they target schools, hospitals, monasteries and churches. Does this not tell ASEAN something ?

A doctor testifies:

The N.U.G. - if they do not already do it - should keep a register of companies and individuals aiding and abetting human rights atrocities in Burma. So that the culprits can be excluded from benefitting from the country's development once the leaden military yoke is thrown off.

Wait a few months, maybe less, and you will have to pull your head out of the sand.

Your version is clearer. I intended the preposition 'outside' to be shared between the u.K. AND certain countries ...

Quite possibly a hoax. Has been deleted by Facebook and YouTube, but this of course means nothing. Only online reference I can find is this: https://dailytelegraph.co.nz/covid-19/crisis-in-slovenia-whistleblower-nurse-says-politicians-receive-saline-instead-of-mrna-jab/

I suggest digging a little deeper. This is the first article I happened to click on: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8248252/ "Moderate-certainty evidence finds that large reductions in COVID-19 deaths are possible using ivermectin. Using ivermectin early in the clinical course may reduce numbers progressing to severe disease. The apparent safety and low cost suggest that ivermectin is likely to have a significant impact on the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic globally."

"… authoritative health bodies (FDA, WHO, CDC) …" All three of them are in bed with "Big Pharma" from which they receive very substantial proportions of their annual budgets. Just to give an example, the WHO's principle funder is the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation [name may be changed now]. Research studies funded, directly or indirectly, by the pharmaceutical industry have frequently "proven" the ineffectiveness of un-patentable remedies (e.g. mega-dose intravenous vitamin C therapy first developed by Dr Klenner, and then promoted by Linus Pauling, two-times Nobel Laureate, in association with Dr Ewan Cameron). How do they do this? In general, very simple. They use non-therapeutic doses for their "research". Might be worth a glance: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6940627/ However, you are free to believe what you want and support your beliefs with the evidence that fits. There is no shortage of it, as the pharmaceutical industry is financially very powerful and intends to remain so. [And Google's search algorithms are these days programmed to favour the conglomerate's financial interests]

Looking at mortality statistics for certain years it becomes apparent that the flu can be more deadly than the coronavirus: E.g. for France: "In 1922, deaths linked to respiratory diseases other than Covid [i.e. essentially influenza and common cold] were the THIRD most important cause of death in France, according to the latest available figures. Covid was the FIFTH major cause. "Lethality is however difficult to measure for infectious diseases, according to the epidemiologist Antoine Flahaut." Source: https://www.ouest-france.fr/sante/virus/coronavirus/infographies-grippe-ou-covid-quelle-epidemie-est-la-plus-mortelle-en-france-3e350ddc-cc1c-11ef-a918-9f91756062b6 Both the flu and Covid are respiratory diseases and as such have similarities. At least true for Covid in its initial phase, but as an unusual type of virus it is capable on occasion of harming many other organs. It seems, on the basis of recent research from Australia (yet to be confirmed), that the spike protein (whether from the virus or a vaccine), which is present only in minute quantities (picograms) causes folding of the protein fibrin to form amaloid plaque. Which can then set in motion a chain-reaction creating further amaloid plaque. This is a possible explanation of the origin of peculiar, whitish, rubbery 'blood clots' now being encountered for the first time. See: Statistics for Covid deaths in the United States are thought to be unreliable, owing to (1) the government financially incentivizing hospitals to declare deaths as being due to Covid; and (2) the use of inappropriately-executed PCR tests yielding false positives being taken as evidence that death was caused by Covid (hence it has been claimed that suicides and car-crash mortalities have been recorded as due to Covid). "… if a person gets a 'positive' PCR test result at a cycle threshold of 35 or higher (as applied in most US labs and many European labs), the chance that the person is infectious is less than 3%. The chance that the person received a 'false positive' result is 97% or higher." Source: https://swprs.org/the-trouble-with-pcr-tests/

You seem to assume and believe that alternative treatments for Covid - often involving re-purposed, well-established, and relatively safe drugs - are invalid. They are not, as experience tells, and from following their trials. Moreover protocols for their use, e.g. of the FLCCC, were being developed when the so-called Covid "vaccines" were not yet available, and patients not yet in a critical state were told to go home and wait until their condition was serious. Of course officialdom was able to offer remdesivir costing $3,100 per course of treatment. With far worse side-effects than that of 1.5 mg doses of ivermectin (ridiculed as "horse-medicine"). Professor Raoult was likewise ridiculed when he demonstrated the effectiveness of hydroxychloroquine (in non-critical cases of Covid).

Are "risks of accidents, domestic violence, and negative impacts on youth" greater from drinking wine than other alcoholic beverages ? I doubt it. And a decent red wine, drunk in moderation with a meal, has been shown to be beneficial to health. A decent Australian red wine can be purchased for about 500 baht a bottle.

Amongst other things they spoke of how gold may perform in a crisis - as it has performed in previous crises, i.e. down, then up.

You need to research the matter you write about before giving a opinion. I am not going to do your research for you, as your prejudices will likely cause you to reject the findings out of hand. But anyway, here is something to look at: https://www.bmj.com/content/371/bmj.m4425

Dr. Vinay Prasad, the new FDA vaccine chief is against mRNA. He reports that everyone vaccinated with genetic materials is getting higher troponin levels than normal, with the inference being that all have been injured in their hearts. The first two prospective cohort studies, where blood cardiac troponin level was measured before and after receiving mRNA injections, demonstrated unacceptably high rates of troponin elevation, indicating predictable heart damage. Heart cells do not replicate. Once they are killed, they are lost forever. The more cells that die, the more likely the person is to have clinical Myocarditis to one degree or another.

Not sure if this interview might lend perspective to investing in the current unusual state of the markets:
