Gilligan In Drag

Most fo the world has the same kinds of problems. Glad to see they wont give in. In the US we have Tusi Gabbard and Robert Kennedy, both of whom enjoy much popular support, but they don't support the status quo so they get marginalized and virtually eliminated as candidates we could vote for, which liek Thailand doesnt make any sense anymore either, you will have Chuckles Harris as the new presidnt whether no one votes for her or not, deep state calls the shots not voters now.

Even if you got Pita on a silver platter he is going to have to do the bidding of globalist interests. Still its a shame people voted for him twice and they denied him twice. Wouldnt it be lovely if there was such a thing as democracy? But you don't get to see his true colors util you have him as head of state and I'm skeptical about him, Thailand has been so corrupt for so long and hes just another politician at the end of the day.

Oh thanks dfor the reassurance about Palantir I feel so much better about having a vice president who owrks for someone who makes his fortune on spying on an dviolating people's privacy. Cheers and I'm done here, 007.

Oh and lets just pretend Kennedy doesn't exist. he would be a great alternative, but Americans have a blind spot if it isn't republican or democrat, we're like trained pavlovian dogs in that way. Coke or Pepsi? Burger King or McDonalds? And we'd rather fight than switch dad gum it! In and Out Burger?! Say what?! Whats wrong with you! Get out of here man! We going to Mac Donalds! No it won't happen despite Kennedy being an honest and very well informed and experienced leader already at cleaning up the pollution and problems with corporate capture and corrupt agencies and corporations. This to do with aour problems in a big way but nobody wants to talk about that. Most people hate kennedy, the hippie needss to get a job with tha mess, grow up already bothering our mega corps with lawsuits. You can get a real education just listening to a Kennedy interview. Not so with Trump or Biden, its just bluster and fluff and dishonesty but no matter Americans don't want hear about corporate corruption thats biting the hand that feeds so people like Biden or whoever the Dems want to put up there they'll get away with it so you are left with getting outraged about Trump's character and personal style. yeah I know you'll just laugh or yell at me go ahead I don't care it doesn't matter very few will be able to overcome their indoctrination enough to be able to vote for an independent and one who doesnt constantly lie to them or deflect to fluff-oh and stuff you've heard for decades from presidential candidates, "And with that I'll balance the budget." Yeah right. So yeah how enthralling, its Trump or Kamala man, but Trumps' freakin Quwazy mahn Krazy Koo Koo and Kamalas a ding dong lights on but no ones home-muh jig who thinks she freakin Socrates talkin about, "Ya, so whatever is gonna be on the way to becomiiiiiing...becoming who you already are.... .... thats what it is ya know, its just what it is baby like that, and thats alright." Yeah on the edge of my seat, who's gonna win wow its so significant our lives could change for the better or something doyou think we could handle something like that no.

More importantly than whether or not according to your professional psychologist opinion Trump is insane is to look at how he is actually just a figurehead for puppetry and entertainment. For example look at how the Trump show serves as a distraction and subterfuge from who is going to possibly be head of the Treasury Larry effing Fink. What could go wrong with that? Oh nothing, we'll just blame Trump. Look at who has his puppet hands up Trump's Vice President JD Vance's butt: Peter Thiel who controls Palantir the surveillance company that knows everything about everyone. Tgrumps friendliness with Israel will probably end up inspiring a major conflict with iran And we're just getting started, who else is going to be appointed to trump's cabinet. Its like they said before, Trump drained the swamp so he could pick his cabinet members from the very bottom of it. I'm not an anti-Trumper and it is appalling what they have been doing to him the attacks stink to high heaven, but they just serve as a distraction for the Deep State/Uni Party who are the real psychopaths at the mad tea party.

I don't get it. Seems like if you have the money, the elite visa is still a much better visa to be on. If i had the money I'd probably go that route. You dont have hardly any of the freaking hassles of having to re-new evry year and keeping money in the bank, running to the border I mean they really want tyou to question what the hell are you doing in their country as many ask me when they fin dout the hoops I have to jump through to stay here. That said I'm glad there's now a back door if just staying here on extensions of non-O married become problematic. I struggle financially to keep the 400k in and if they up that amount I'm schlitz out of luck. Now its a real relief that I could just do the border hop thing and if they limit your time to 6 months in Thailand per year of doing that only, oh well, India beckons I guess.

Anutin is just one of many fighting over this. I would guess that very soon the Pheua Thai camp will push back with more about tough prison sentences and criminalization. If you were here in the early 2000's you know Thaksin gets homocidally maniacal when you want to talk about drugs in "his" country. Yes his country not the Thai peoples or yours farang. He ordered police to shoot to kill anyone they thought was using possessing or selling drugs. Whether they actually were doing those things was no importance to Thaksin and he made that a point that he didn't care whwtehr or not people were actually doing it or not just creating that impression was enough. No questions asked just shoot anyone. And I would guess still that "the United Nations is not (his) father," ( an infamous quote of his when the issue of extrajudicial killings in Thaksin's drug war was raised by the UN, who threatened to send teams to Thailand to investigate, which seems rather quaint in hindsight, like the UN actually cares, any excuse for them as well i suppose) but he probably still thinks he's your your father.

Cui bono? I too won't be booking with Indi-Go, or Indi-No, Stop. Disgusting.

So what anyway? What does achievement in sport or any field get you? Unwanted attention. Psychological problems that annoy others like arrogance and pride. Jealous family and community? If you like sport then play it, why does anyone need a medal. Theres plenty of people in Thailand to play with too. The guys in my village play a hell of a lot more semi-organized football than 90% of people from my developed\ Olympic medal raking western home country. They have two teams in my village and they play against many other teams from surrounding villages. The rest of the country doesn't care and these guys don't care that bigshots in Bangkok don't care, they ad hoc organize their own tournaments and lots of people turn out to cheer. My driver is way into it all. Sometimes he says I can't take you shopping we've got a big game today at 3 pm. He doesn't need medals and fame and money to want to play his ass off. Being happy is a natural tribute of our mind, we just need a bit of mind training in meditation and then every circumstance is fine, you don't have to win medals at the Olympics or be number 1 that's a sad and preposterous waste of a human life that misses the point.

If people don't have any money, how can you steal it from them by opening casinos all over the place?

Well those plants they gave away two years ago mostly would not be alive. But I think you are right and I had the same reaction once the re-illegalization uproar began, it almost seems like entrapment on a mass scale to give away plants and then turn around several months down the road and say, "Oh and by the way, if you use those plants for fun you'll go to prison!" and getting to people to register as well, not too far away from reporting yourself as a suspect. As Phuea Thai had nothing to do with any of it I don't think they can be trusted to take responsibility and if it suits them they'd do anything regardless of how it affects anyone.

I'm not paying one satang, even if that means becoming a non-resident, I cannot live on what they leave for me, 14,000 dollars a year for a family of 3 and others in family who are "living" on 500 baht a month disability. Speaks to how interested they are in people's welfare doesn't it, getting more money out of foreign resdients is hardly going to change that.

If you earn less than $70,000/year as a US citizen residing abroad you don't owe any taxes. Another reason all of this looks not very well thought through, how many actually owe what the Thai government thinks they are going to get. When they announced all of this initially somebody or the article linked to a translation of the proposed law, if you are making a mere 20,000 per year you are already in the revenue department's 30 percent taxation bracket as I recall and as I also think I recall, many would be asked to pay over half of their income and if the Revenue department sticks with that and tax you regardless of whether you brought the money in, that is just flat out robbery and i don't know who would stay here, very few. So it really looks like Thailand is trying to flush out the permanent foreign residents, turn us into tourists and/or its the globalists whom they seem to be in line with talking about universal taxation throughout the world, they don't want people living abroad unless they are the migrants who will serve in the police force and military of the US and Europe and do all the work people don't want to do anymore because it doesn't pay a living wage.

That Dutch ex-cannabis cafe owner got stuck with 50 years and without breaking any laws in Thailand. These gangsters only get 10 years? Sounds like they are pretty friendly with the locals already. Should be out in a few months their watches and sports cars returned to them, or some of them anyway, just as soon as this blows over.

Maybe I'm just delusional but it seems a bit thin on the ground stuff to claim. This is something that the Prime Minister said, its not his job is it, to declare taxes and tax schedules and so on. Where is the revenue department on all of this? If its the Prime Minister's idea, he could be outta here, he's facing problems is he not? It could well be just an idea. Also, something I ask myself is what was the context of the PMs statement? You don't get any idea of how serious he is about this. And TIT, even if they are serious, the government branches do not communicate or cooperate well, they don't like each other and resent each others authority. My Thai wife who pays attention to the news says it seems they are putting on a lot of airs right now to save face as the military coup government begins to step back into the shadows, they don't want to look like theye were ineffectual and of little impact. There's also all the Lazada Shoppe taxation brouhaha, my wife commented tha t they don't appear together at all or even serious on that stuff. Its just them trying to appear as though they are in control and in charge. I don't know if thats true or not, but it wouldn't surprise me. It would be a real first if they began actually cooperating with Immigration or even the foreign embassies well enough to say deny people visas for not paying tax. You go to foreign embassies for visas, they are not the type to want to slog through a bunch stuff from the tax department for each visa that they issue. Embassies are just there to sort of hang out and go to cocktail parties and engage in a little espionage from time to time not grunt work like sorting through everyone's taxes. They probably depend quite heavily on our visa application money and they know if they start denying people visas it cuts into their cut. It doesnt make sense to me that they would play along with this. Immigration doesn't strike me as the kind of outfit that is going to want to do the bidding of the revenue department or anyone, they are really a don't-tell-me-what-to-do bunch, they are police after all. How do you think the police would like being asked to sort through peoples tax junk in your home country? I used to work at a government university and immigration really did not like being told to give foreign profs visas. We were in there all day every year they were on the hone to my univeristy for hours and arms crossed and no, no, no! They are jealous of other government branches authority. Just by myself getting a marriage visa is no problem but if government university asks they were like, "Take a hike Mike! Who do you think you are!" I can imagine it would not be much different with the tax authority trying to tell them, "This guy clear that guy no, don't give him! Thsi one, yes, that one no way, go to his house and arrest him!" It could have been something said to boost support for the PM or his party to get something done that perhaps opposition was saying Thailand couldn't afford like climate change compliance or whatever it is Hans Swab and Greta Toonsermuhgoochie and the globalist gestapo in Geneva want, so why not say you'll have nothing to eat and you'll be happy and that is supposed to mean something. Or otherwise this whole tax thing is not yet really here or there. The PM said it a long time ago as well. Why hasn't anyone at a more concrete level like say in the actual tax wing of the government said anything or even sketched out a few more details since? I remember looking at so-called translations of what you will have to pay, probably cooked up at some tax law or accounting firm over a case of Sang Som it was quite outrageous as I recall. I'd be paying 30 percent of something that is poverty level income, they seemed to clearly be doing a first run to see the reaction and we've heard nothing concrete since. Then again I depend on this website alone for news about such stuff, so maybe the real enchilada has not been served up to us, but then again most of you don't like Mexican food, so there ya go.
