  1. Ah......nonsense theories. Terrain theory is the belief that the internal environment of the body, or "terrain," plays a crucial role in determining susceptibility to disease, rather than focusing solely on external pathogens like bacteria and viruses. It emphasizes maintaining a healthy internal balance through lifestyle choices to prevent illness. "Nature is there to protect us?" Sure, tell that to the great white that's about to swallow you. "We're gonna need a bigger roll of tinfoil!"
  2. It is not in nature's interest to have invisible entities, hiding behind a tree, or a lamp post, that will pounce on us at every opportunity. Them tiny invisible entities are part of nature, too. It's in THEIR interest to hide in RFK's noggin eating grey matter and reproducing.
  3. "Laundered"? You make it sound like trade between sovereign nations is liable to be taco'd.
  4. But brain worms are a thing, right? Or is pork only a theory?
  5. So you're sayin' pediatricians are making bank pushing $5 vaccines when they'd be making gazillions treating meningitis, polio, diptheria, tetanus, What's the profit margin on iron lungs and a lifetime supply of oxygen? During the polio epidemics, the iron lung saved many thousands of lives, but the machine was large, cumbersome, and very expensive: in the 1930s, an iron lung cost about $1,500—about the same price as the average home. No, the evil "white-coats" choose to break even peddling vaccines rather than buying a new McMansion every two months!
  6. 800K (Korat) currently only requires a 2-month statement. If 12-months required for proof of income, simply order that a week ahead of time.
  7. But we don't know which immigration office his agent used. He may need to have rental contract and copy of landlord's ID/housebook if he needs to submit a new TM-30 and move his residence to Bangkok from some backwater province.
  8. Gravity, too, is just a theory. Jump off the roof of your condo and prove me worng. But seriously, you're write, no such thing as germs. It's demons! “Send us among the pigs; allow us to go into them.” He gave them permission, and the impure spirits came out and went into the pigs. The herd, about two thousand in number, rushed down the steep bank into the lake and were drowned." Science!
  9. Check the stamps in the passport. Was the extension done in Bangkok? Who does the 90-day reports, and what address is used? What address appears at the bottom of his TM-30 receipt?
  10. Yes, I do. Twas chosen to highlight that some are willing to sacrifice others in pursuit of their own goals. Here's one from the real world: Lesley Stahl: We have heard that half a million children have died. I mean, that's more children than died in Hiroshima. And, you know, is the price worth it? Madeleine Albright: I think this is a very hard choice, but the price—we think the price is worth it. (wiki) As to works of fiction, see OP.
  11. "Inside information" is apparently what a potentially corrupt official may be telling his agent conspirator. Why is your pop using an agent? Is he bringing in 65K every month, and has he done so all year? Does he have 800K in a bank account? Is he registered, and have the extension from, the province where he actually resides? What's complicated? I leave 800K in a fixed account year-round. 3-4 times/year I file an electronic 90-day report which takes 5 minutes each. 60 days before extension renewal, I go to the immigration website and book appointments for extension and re-entry permit. I spend an hour putting together document packages for each appointment. On the day of the extension, on the way to immigration, I stop by Bangkok Bank and pick up guarantee letter and bank statement, which takes about half an hour. Arrive at immigration, get a new TM-30 receipt (local requirement), check documents, wait for appointment time. Extension is done within 30 minutes of being called, with the IO doing the re-entry at the same time and also doing a courtesy 90-day report which would be due in a couple weeks. "Super easy, barely an inconvenience!"
  12. We went into a camp to inoculate the children. We left the camp after we had inoculated the children for Polio, and this old man came running after us, and he was crying. He couldn't see. We went back there, and they had come and hacked off every inoculated arm. There they were in a pile. A pile of little arms. And I remember ... I ... I ... I cried. I wept like some grandmother. I wanted to tear my teeth out. I didn't know what I wanted to do. And I want to remember it. I never want to forget it. I never want to forget. And then I realized ... like I was shot ... like I was shot with a diamond ... a diamond bullet right through my forehead. And I thought: My God ... the genius of that. The genius. ~Kurtz Nowadays it's done with a substack rather than a machete.
  13. CIA Says It Will No Longer Use Vaccine Programs As Cover A White House official says the CIA will no longer use vaccine programs as cover for spy operations, answering health experts' complaints that it had hurt international efforts to fight disease. The CIA famously used a vaccination program as a ploy to gain information about the possible whereabouts of Osama bin Laden in Pakistan. That effort didn't succeed, and the doctor involved was sentenced to a prison term. But the revelation had immediate effects — particularly in the fight against polio. https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2014/05/20/314231260/cia-says-it-will-no-longer-use-vaccine-programs-as-cover
  14. So..........burritos? Surely we haven't already reached Defcon Chimichanga!
  15. Thank you. Saved me the trouble of accessing the daily globe mail express websites for my daily dose of poopaganda. Pixels have become expensive due to Trump's tariffs.
  16. The copyright holder for this preprint (which was not certified by peer review) is the author/funder, who has granted medRxiv a license to display the preprint in perpetuity. So not peer-reviewed. That's not a good sign. What did the study "prove"? Nothing much. The study did not address the source of the spike proteins found in some PVS sufferers. Iwasaki told Reuters in an email that her team is currently looking to see if the proteins derive from the vaccine or possibly from a prior infection with the virus. The current study notes, however, that of the 42 PVS patients, 27 had a history of COVID and all but two of these had PVS symptoms before their infection. https://www.reuters.com/fact-check/us-study-does-not-suggest-long-covid-is-vaccine-injury-2025-03-07/ Oopsie-doopsies!!!!!!!!!!
  17. From his very own conspiracy website: Vernon Coleman is a bestselling novelist, campaigning author and former TV doctor who has spoken out against the covid-19 hoax. He has written over 100 books on health, politics, cats and more, and has been praised by many media outlets and readers. And this! He has never had a proper job (in the sense of working for someone else in regular, paid employment, with a cheque or pay packet at the end of the week or month) but he has had freelance and temporary employment in many forms. He has, for example, been employed as: magician's assistant, postman, fish delivery van driver, production line worker, disc jockey, chemical laboratory assistant, author, publisher, draughtsman, meals on wheels driver, feature writer, drama critic, book reviewer, columnist, surgeon, police surgeon, industrial medical officer, social worker, night club operator, property developer, magazine editor, general practitioner, private doctor, television presenter, radio presenter, agony aunt, university lecturer, casualty doctor and care home assistant. He has received numerous awards and was for some time a Professor of Holistic Medical Sciences at the Open International University based in Sri Lanka. https://vernoncoleman.com/biog.htm Wowza! You folks sure can pick 'em! Chiropractors, paranormal researchers, weekend plumbers, crystal healers, and now teevee doctors! Maybe you could get the "I'm not a doctor, but I play one on TV" guy, or better yet, he could add "I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express" to his list of credentials.
  18. True, but I don't believe in Chicago we'll be fighting a couple dozen retired Cuban mall security cops.

  19. He'll back down. Tacopocalypse!
  20. Municipal stadiums usually have a weight room for public use. Chiang Mai and Bangkok charged 40 baht/day. Pattaya have a stadium?
