  1. Theaters of War 2022    IMDB 7.9

    A vast new trove of internal documents reveals that the Pentagon and CIA have doctored thousands of film and television scripts. Media professor Roger Stahl engages an array of other stunned scholars, frustrated veterans, PR insiders, and industry producers. Stahl reveals in unsettling detail how the US military-industrial complex pushes a version of history that scrubs the screen of war crimes, corruption, criticism of the nuclear arsenal, racism, sexual assault, assassinations, and torture. From James Bond to Jack Ryan, Captain Marvel to Cake Boss, the creation of this other "cinematic universe" is one of the great PR coups of our time.—Disto4

    America is just crazy.

    A 80 year old woman claims a guy raped her when she was 50. No exact date when it supposedly happened, no evidence at all.

    And then, 30 years after the alleged incident, she sues the guy and gets 5 million USD.

    That is nuts!

     

    And at the same time, the same guy is telling rioters to storm the capitol, they do that, people die, and there are no legal consequences - at least until now.

    Do we have to wait another 30 years before someone will sue him for that and demand compensation?

     

    I would love to see Trump in jail and lose all his money. But this case is just laughable.

    The craziest thing is the American people voted for this degenerate as POTUS!!??

    Some days ago I sat in a Taxi for the first time since I got the Ranger and it felt quite scary to sit so low. ???? 

     

    I absolutely love the seating position of the Ranger. So after this "shock" I am not sure if I really want to sell the car. 

    You had your eyes open in a taxi in Bangkok?  Youre a better man than I am Gunga Din!

    Open a new savings account with say SCB, put in a balance your happy with and get a standard debit card on the account, effectively the same

    Yes plus I took the next step and also got an online only a/c, no card, no book.  Keep your main funds in the online a/c and transfer living expenses to the debit card as needed.  Lose your card or get hacked you lose only a little.  Works for me.

    I did watch the Jimmy Savile expose and I never did like the character anyway, but this documentary really laid bare his disgusting habits, and what an evil man he was.

     

    Don't remember a great deal about the Rolf Harris conviction, but what I do remember is that I thought it was a bit harsh at the time, but then a friend of his daughter came out with the fact that she had been abused by him, so that changed my mind.

    To think we used to race home from school to watch him when TV first came out.  Who'd have thought?

    China, however, sees its counternarcotics enforcement, and more broadly its international law enforcement cooperation, as strategic tools that it can instrumentalize to achieve other objectives.

    Yeah just like another country who talks about war on drugs while sponsering the trafficking and sale of narcotics to its own people to raise money for weapons deals for the overthrow of some democratically elected Sth American government!  Outstanding!

    Great idea!

    Come home, go to jail, and give all your money to your grandchildren. And please don't involve them in politics if you care about them.

    And if you live long enough not to die in jail then maybe you will be able to live in a decade or two together with your grandchildren.

    Come home. Now. You will get free accommodation and food for years. We are waiting for you! What are you waiting for? 

    He needs to be locked in a sea container first!

    I got my first home visit after about 13 years. Buriram IO. Have now been married 17 years.

    First home visit after applied for 1st extension about 10 years ago.  Tried to get diesel money from me but I directed them to the PM in office at that time (Yingluk?).  They dropped it but then kept hinting at how they liked chicken soup.  I hinted in return that I liked pizza and starred at them as though desperate for a response. Lol.  They dropped it.  Actually nice guys who couldnt help but try to put one on.

     

    They did come again one time.  Cant recall but it was during some crackdown where they were out trying to look like they really were doing their job.  We were home but somehow missed their calls at the gate.  Found out later from 2 neighbours that when they couldnt raise us at home they questioned 2 neighbours to ascertain that I lived here and that I did so permanently.  Seems that satisfied them as we never heard another thing.

     

    Not a big drama.
