PREM-R

The issue of cancer in the Northeast of Thailand is often related to the consumption of a raw fish dish called 'Koi Pla'. Over time, consuming this food can lead to 'liver fluke' which often then becomes liver cancer if not treated. Khon Kaen University has a very strong program of doctorate students taking this cancer as their topic. The problem is that despite a wide-ranging effort to inform the Isaan people of the dangers of eating this raw fish dish, they continue to prepare and consume it. The reason Sri Nakarind hospital is so inundated with patients is that it is the foremost hospital in Thailand for dealing with this particular type of cancer. The link below, though from 2015, gives some information about the problem of 'raw fish' being consumed by the rural Isaan people. https://www.bbc.com/news/health-33095945

I think it is more usually referred to as 'being intimidated by a rich/powerful/influential person'

In an earlier post in this thread I wrote: Trump says " When you're a star, you can do whatever you want, do anything, grab 'em by the pu**y!" Yellowtail and Big Star both posted replies saying that he did not say that. Below is the transcript of the tape, from a reliable source, which states: Trump: "Yeah that's her with the gold. I better use some Tic Tacs just in case I start kissing her. You know I'm automatically attracted to beautiful... I just start kissing them. It's like a magnet. Just kiss. I don't even wait. And when you're a star they let you do it. You can do anything." Bush: "Whatever you want." Trump: "Grab them by the pussy. You can do anything." Attn: Yellowtail and Big Star, https://www.bbc.com/news/election-us-2016-37595321 Waiting for the first "BBC is not a reliable source" post. 555

This version of the tape shows Trump apologizing for what he said in the Access Hollywood tape.

I apologise for any distress I may have caused Mr. Trump. I am now convinced that the content of the video I posted does not damage the image of the president-elect, but merely presents him in his true light.

As it's Pantomime season I'll reply "Oh Yes He Did" If you can access You Tube where you are then check it out, it even has subtitles so there is no mistake.

You need to check the actual video,, Trump says " When you're a star, you can do whatever you want, do anything, grab 'em by the pu**y!"

I find it hard to understand the mentality of most of the people replying to this topic. Trump was found guilty by a jury of sexually assaulting a woman in a cubical at a department store. Ask yourselves, what if it had been your wife/sister/daughter that had been assaulted, would you still react the same way? Trump was caught on camera boasting of how he grabbed women in their genital area. While his wife, Melania, was at home nursing their new born son, Trump was ‘cavorting’ with porn star Stormy Daniels. Trump is despicable and it seems to show how unsophisticated the voters of America are in that they chose to elect him to the highest post in the land, not once, but twice. Elect Trump Once, Shame on Trump, Elect Trump Twice, Shame on America.

Good result for Trump, he only needs to find another 70 million dollars (perhaps a go-fund-me with his MAGA minions) and he will be able to pay the victim of his sexual assault the amount the jury in the case awarded her. The judge at the time stated that Trump's sexual assault fell 'just short' of rape.

When Trump stepped through the door into the cathedral I was sure that the moment he set foot on the 'holy ground' he would immediately burst into flames. As this did not happen, maybe the question has to be asked, 'Is there really a god?'

....."you failed to mention the main purpose and outcome from his trip". May I suggest, respectfully, that you are incorrect. The main purpose for this trip was an invitation from President Macron (a man who really needs any friends he can get at the moment) to the celebration of the renovation of Notre Dame De Paris. My light hearted post was meant to highlight the type of thing that can come out of Mr. Trump's mouth when he 'gets away from his handlers'. I am sure you remember when he suggested, during the Covid 19 pandemic, that disinfectant could be used to kill off the disease. Major manufacturers of such products scrambled immediately to make announcements that these products were not safe to be injected or ingested.

CAPTION: "So Manny, how come France named its biggest, bestest, most important Cathedral after an Indiana college football team?

EXCERPT FROM CARLSON INTERVIEW WITH SATAN Carlson: Well thank you Mr. Satan and now, in this section of the interview, I would like to move on to the recent US Presidential Election……..Do you approve of Trump’s victory? Satan: From a professional point of view, it was the greatest result I could have had…..not since the Borgia family were running the Vatican, back in the 15th Century, have I had a greater opportunity to spread mischief in the land of men. Carlson: Did you interfere in the election? Satan: Maybe! Carlson: I’ll push you to be more specific…..did you possess the two candidates during the election? Satan: Nah! I would like to make it clear that I haven’t ever possessed anybody…. Satanic possession was dreamed up by religious men hundreds of years ago so that they, mostly Catholic priests, could ‘feel-up’ women without getting struck off. Carlson: If you didn’t possess President Trump and Kamala how did you interfere? Satan: Being the Prince of Darkness means that I’ve a very ‘long-term’ outlook when planning ‘mischief-among-humans’……. I often set plans in action centuries before they come to fruition. Carlson: Specifically, what did you do? Satan: About 70 of your human yeas ago I took the guise of a scientist and attended a conference where there was talk of adding fluoride to the US water system to protect children from tooth decay. Carlson: So you wanted to prevent the fluoride being added so as to maintain the level of decay in American children’s teeth? Satan: No, in fact you couldn’t be more wrong…….let me finish……I found that a certain amount of the chemical would protect children‘s teeth….. but double the dose would cause a reduction in IQ. Over a number of generations this would cause the general population to have lower cognitive skills, an inability to undertake critical thinking and to accept information without question. Carlson: So what did you do? Satan: At the end of the conference…… all the agreements having been signed sealed and delivered to add an amount of fluoride……….I doubled all the numbers on every contract and document allowing much higher levels of the chemical to be added to the US water supply. Carlson: Then what? Satan: I waited….. I waited for three or four generations of Americans to be exposed to the chemical….. up to the present day actually. Carlson: So how did that affect the Presidential Election? Satan: You’re kidding me…. aren’t you? Carlson: I don’t understand! Satan: You’ve been drinking the water. Carlson: How did adding fluoride to the water lead to Trump winning the election? Satan: Really, do I need to spell it out for you…….. after four generations of the American public ingesting high levels of fluoride in their drinking water…….. well…… to use the American vernacular….most Americans are now dumber than a bag of rocks! Carlson: We’ll take another break there……. we’ll be back after this word from out sponsor.

It is interesting that you write ‘….. in the US we hardly think about the UK at all’, yet the picture you use as your ‘Avatar’ on this forum is of Patrick McGoohan, born in New York of Irish parents. Your user name on this forum is that of a character played by Mr. McGoohan when he left the United States to find fame and fortune in the UK. He is most remembered as ‘Danger Man’ and ‘The Prisoner’, both UK productions. Have you ever heard the term ‘Hoist by his own petard?’
