  1. Bannon, repulsive as he is, was correct in declaring "Trump is now part of the Deep State" on this matter. Patel, Bondi et al are all in on it and toeing the line.......the list will never be revealed. I see Bongino might display some honour......the rumour is he is about to walk after a stand up row with Bondi.
  2. There are going to be some sick minds chipping in on this topic.......already a laughing emoji
  3. Can't say i paid to much attention to this whole debacle.......but then read this.......he was murdered! The missing minute was from 2200 to 0600 the following day!! The ligature wounds found on Jeffrey Epstein’s neck are among the most debated aspects of his autopsy, and they’ve raised serious questions about whether his death was truly a suicide by hanging. Ligature Marks and Their Implications • Location of the wound: Forensic pathologist Dr. Michael Baden noted that the ligature mark was in the center of Epstein’s neck, not under the jaw as typically seen in suicidal hangings A. This positioning is more consistent with strangulation by a cord or wire. • Depth and shape of the wound: The mark was reportedly thinner than the strip of bedsheet Epstein allegedly used A. This discrepancy suggests the possibility of a different ligature material. • Absence of blood on the ligature: Despite blood being found on Epstein’s neck, there was no blood on the bedsheet ligature itself A—a detail that some experts find suspicious. • Multiple fractures: Epstein’s autopsy revealed breaks in the hyoid bone and thyroid cartilage B C. While these can occur in hangings, especially in older individuals, they are more commonly associated with manual or ligature strangulation. • Petechiae (burst capillaries): These were found on Epstein’s face and eyes, which are more typical of strangulation than hanging C. • No photo of body position: Crucially, there was no image of how Epstein’s body was found in the cell, making it difficult for forensic experts to determine the mechanics of the hanging C. Procedural Failures • Removed from suicide watch prematurely: Epstein had previously been found injured in his cell, suggesting a possible suicide attempt or assault. Yet he was taken off suicide watch just six days later A. • No cellmate at time of death: Despite protocol requiring Epstein to have a cellmate, his was transferred and not replaced B. • Guards failed to perform checks: The two guards assigned to monitor Epstein reportedly fell asleep and falsified records to show they had conducted routine checks B. • Broken surveillance cameras: Two cameras outside Epstein’s cell malfunctioned, and another had unusable footage C. Psychological and Behavioral Contradictions • Claimed he wasn’t suicidal: Epstein told prison psychologists he “would be crazy” to take his own life and insisted he wasn’t suicidal D. • Unusual behavior before death: He made an unmonitored phone call claiming to be calling his deceased mother, and was described as “upbeat” by his lawyers just hours before his death B D. Autopsy and Forensic Questions • Broken neck bones: Epstein had fractures in his neck that are more commonly associated with homicide by strangulation than suicide by hanging, especially for someone of his age and build C. • Use of bedsheet from lower bunk: Questions arose about whether it was physically feasible for him to hang himself from the lower bunk given his height and weight C. High-Profile Connections • Ties to powerful individuals: Epstein was known to associate with influential figures across politics, business, and royalty. He allegedly had compromising information on some of them C. • No “client list” found: Despite public speculation, a Justice Department review concluded there was no incriminating client list or evidence of blackmail E—a finding many still question. Institutional Accountability • Warden removed, guards indicted: The prison’s warden was reassigned, and the guards were charged with conspiracy and record falsification C. • Violation of crime scene protocol: Epstein’s body was removed from the cell before it was photographed, violating Bureau of Prisons procedures C.
  4. For 'younger' ones, in rural Thailand, they are not really options when you consider travel, stigma and potential embarrassment.
  5. Will there ever be a safe vaccine..... No! Ever since Jenner the whole of the medical profession has been hell bent on jabbing us with things that kill us or damage us in someway ......bar-stewards.......everyone of them
  6. Six different fonts or sizes of font or capitalised and coloured........how does he get away with it? I got banned for posting an 'oversized' emoji.
  7. Boyfriend and Girlfriend (Unmarried Couples) Thai banks generally do not allow joint accounts for unmarried couples, especially if both are foreigners. Some exceptions may be made case-by-case if: One person is Thai You can show long-term residency or co-ownership of property The bank manager approves it locally (policy varies by branch) 📌 Alternative: One partner opens a single account and adds the other as a co-signer or gives power of attorney (not available at all banks). Use mutual access via mobile banking and cards — though this is informal and lacks legal joint ownership.
  8. How odd.....I was just about to stick my neck and say no way he got punched just for taking a quick video around the bar.
  9. 555...... How many people on here understand exponential growth do you think?
  10. Cabbages & Condoms Café .......still going? I know people would have a hissy but, not exactly handing condoms out to "kids", just making condoms 'available' would have a much greater impact than some numpty telling them they can no longer have sex. I can't imagine where young people would get condoms in rural Thailand.
  11. Growth must follow a precise rule to be called exponential. Just because something is growing doesn’t mean it’s exponential. Many things look exponential at first but level off quickly But it always sounds good to say exponential growth.
  12. ........plus..........555 The United States has attempted to bring about regime change—covertly or overtly—in numerous countries since World War II. These efforts have ranged from CIA-backed coups to military invasions, economic destabilization, or political support for opposition groups. Here’s a categorized list: Covert or CIA-Backed Regime Changes Countries where the U.S. covertly helped overthrow or undermine governments: Iran (1953) – Operation Ajax: CIA overthrew Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadegh after he nationalized oil; reinstated the Shah. Guatemala (1954) – CIA ousted President Jacobo Árbenz over land reforms and United Fruit interests. Congo (1960–61) – Helped remove and indirectly enabled the assassination of Prime Minister Patrice Lumumba. South Vietnam (1963) – U.S. backed the coup that led to the assassination of Ngo Dinh Diem. Brazil (1964) – Supported military coup against President João Goulart. Chile (1973) – CIA supported military coup that deposed elected President Salvador Allende, brought Augusto Pinochet to power. Argentina (1970s) – Backed military dictatorships during the “Dirty War”. Uruguay, Bolivia, and others – Supported coups and dictatorships during Operation Condor. ⚔️ Military Interventions Regime change through direct military force: Grenada (1983) – U.S. invaded and removed a Marxist military government. Panama (1989) – Overthrew Manuel Noriega during Operation Just Cause. Afghanistan (2001) – Removed the Taliban from power following 9/11 attacks. Iraq (2003) – Overthrew Saddam Hussein under the pretext of WMDs. Libya (2011) – U.S. and NATO backed rebels and airstrikes leading to the fall and killing of Muammar Gaddafi. 🧩 Unsuccessful or Attempted Regime Changes Failed or ongoing efforts: Cuba (1961–present) – Bay of Pigs invasion failed; decades of embargo and support for dissidents. Vietnam (1950s–70s) – Prolonged war to prevent communist rule; ultimately failed. Nicaragua (1980s) – Backed Contras against Sandinista government (led to the Iran-Contra scandal). Venezuela (2002, 2019–present) – Supported attempted coup against Hugo Chávez and later Juan Guaidó’s claim against Nicolás Maduro. Syria (2011–present) – Supported opposition groups against Bashar al-Assad, including covert CIA program Timber Sycamore. Ukraine (2014) – U.S. supported pro-Western protests; Russia accused the U.S. of orchestrating the ouster of Yanukovych (disputed). Iran (ongoing) – Cyber warfare, economic sanctions, and support for opposition, though no open war.
  13. “We know exactly where the so‑called ‘Supreme Leader’ is hiding. He is an easy target, but is safe there – We are not going to take him out (kill !), at least not for now. But we don’t want missiles shot at civilians, or American soldiers. Our patience is wearing thin. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”
  14. I find it best to smile, nod occasionally, feign interest................. then nip to the toilet and quietly disappear.
  15. The U.S. is grappling with a combination of economic headwinds: Rising consumer costs from tariffs Elevated borrowing costs Slowing economic growth Weakening labor conditions Fiscal strain from recent policy moves While a full-blown recession isn’t confirmed, the economic outlook is increasingly fragile. Now, where are my rose-tinted sunglasses
  16. Reminds of Ryan Air ......Frankfurt Hahn, Dusseldorf Weezer etc.......get there and you face at least an other hours journey, no rail link and taxi drivers already to scam you alive.
  17. Net favourable rating -7.........did you even watch this?????
  18. Oxymoron of the day......hat off.
  19. Either the whole business model is about to collapse ....or doctors are going to become millionaires overnight. Thai doctors may prescribe cannabis only under these conditions: Medical necessity – Cannabis must be prescribed only when standard treatments have failed or caused severe side effects. Approved conditions – Conditions eligible for cannabis treatment include (but are not limited to): Chronic pain (e.g., cancer-related) Chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting Epilepsy (especially in children, e.g., Dravet syndrome) Multiple sclerosis (spasticity) Parkinson’s disease Palliative care (e.g., end-stage cancer or HIV) Certain mental health disorders (case-by-case) Prescribed by licensed professionals – Only doctors, dentists, or Thai traditional medicine practitioners who are licensed and trained in cannabis use can issue prescriptions. Is It Only for Weak Medicinal Oils? Not necessarily only “weak” oils, but: Most legal medical cannabis products in Thailand are oils, tinctures, capsules, or topical products. These typically contain low to moderate levels of THC, with a higher emphasis on CBD for therapeutic effects. Smokable cannabis or high-THC products are not legally prescribed in standard clinical settings. The Government Pharmaceutical Organization (GPO) produces standardized cannabis oil with specific THC:CBD ratios (e.g., 1:1, 1:20) to be used under prescription.
  20. Apparently he didn't even know the creep........
  21. It says exactly what I posted...................... Hur described Biden as “a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory,” which influenced the decision not to charge him. So I have no idea why he is trying to back me up?
  22. Where does it say he was deemed too senile to face prosecution?
