I am confused by your allegation of persecution. Evidence is not persecution. Facts are not persecution. Videos and claims made by Trump are not persecution. Speaking the truth is not persecution. Honesty is not persecution. So please explain clearly what you mean by persecution.

AFAIK hydrogen is a renewable fuel and is ideal for ICE engines. OTOH helium is non flammable and also non renewable. Another problem with EVs is that when the time comes (as it will) to replace the battery the cost of that battery is about 50% of the price of the vehicle when it was new. You should however be able to fill the hydrogen fuel tank of your car just as you do now with gasolene, diesel and LNG/LPG which is used extensively in ICE powered vehicles nowadays. Maybe the fuel tanks have to be made stronger (that I don't know) but given the option of an EV or a hydrogen powered vehicle, I would go for hydrogen every time. This of course assumes that hydrogen refuelling stations, become more available as EV charging stations once were. Not to mention filling you fuel tank with hydrogen will be much quicker than charging your EV battery. The price of hydrogen will be high at the start and drop as more stations are built.

There were many other airships at the time which didn't crash, made by Count Zeppelin. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeppelin If you pick out the Hindenburg as an airship that crashed, there was also the R101 a British airship. The Hindenburg accident happened in 1937, some 94 years ago. A lot of progress has been made since then. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hindenburg_disaster How many 'normal' powered aircraft have crashed in a similar period of time? As an example how about the Boeing 747 or the 787 or Concorde? How many people have been killed in car, motorcycle, truck and bus crashes. Picking something from the past without comparison is a waste of time.

I would not hold my breath waiting for that to happen. Unless the current and/or future government changes the rules, there is nothing stopping them from renewing the senators appointments or replacing individual senators. IMHO the only way to do that is to get a brand new civilian government put in charge and a new constitution disbarring all appointed senators. However that will mean scrapping and rewriting the current constitution, getting it vetted by parliament and the Thai citizens, amending it if necessary, then holding a referendum to get the new constitution passed. There is only 9 months left before May 2024, and again in my opinion it will take the best part of 2 years to complete the task.

You are the one who is claiming that President has been paid, but as you and several other posters claiming similarly, NONE of you can come up with any proof, none of you were involved in any of those conversations. Yet all of you deny the evidence given by Hunter Biden's business partner (who actually WAS there), and freely gave his evidence to R Comer's oversight committee. Does it not occur, to you that if there was any truth and evidence in his testimony, that R Comer would be shouting it from the rooftops. Yet the committee has remained silent. President Biden has released his tax return every year for many years, and has not shown any income from any company owned and operated by Burisma.

Nice friendly, very fat and sociable people. The sort of people you would NOT want as neighbours in any country.

And I have lost count of the times that I have pointed out that in reality NOTHING will change or can be changed by anybody on ANN/TVF no matter how many posters agree that it is NOT OK.

It seems to me to be Catch 22 problem where to get rid of the military in government. As they are in power at this time the only way to achieve that is for the current government to allow themselves to be removed, the 250 senators to be removed and the constitution to be changed. There is no way that the current government and the senators will vote for that, hence Catch 22.

I am confused by your post. First you say quote "Tell that to the guy who had a five-year Thai Elite Easy Access visa who was fined and blacklisted from Thailand for a failure to extend his permission to stay one year after his arrival using the visa." Then you say quote"It is possible he was told by the official "you are being fined and blacklisted for exceeding your visa", but the whole problem was that he was not in Thailand on a visa." Please explain the difference. Is a Thai Elite Easy Access visa valid for a 5 year period or is it possible that it only valid for 1 year? Alternatively does the Thai Elite Easy Access visa have to be renewed after every 1 year period?

So were you present during these business calls and have a transcript of every word spoken? A simple yes or no question with no other answer necessary. If your answer is yes then you have evidence and proof then you should produce it. If your answer is no, then you have NO proof and your post is a waste of time and space.

Which Biden would that be? President Biden or his son, Hunter. We know that Hunter was involved but not his father. That part is NOT fairly clear. Un;ess, of course you personally know more that anybody else and have clear and uncontroversial proof that it is so. However in a court of law an allegation is NOT proof. Is that clear enough for you? If you have such proof, then please post it to the oversight committee, chaired by R Comer, as despite hundreds of man hours, vast amounts of money, and as yet have NO proof of President Biden's involvement in Hunter Biden's business. At best your post is simply an unproven allegation, and at worst simply a slur. NO prosecutor would consider taking a case to court on the information that you have provided.

I could guess "on who's authority", but I would not be permitted to speak the name of that person.

of course another way is to have a coup and steal the country at gunpoint backed by tanks. That way you can have everything and simply ignore the voters wishes and do nothing for them at all. The government funds can then be split up with your mates. Does that sound familiar? That is where Thailand is now, where 250 non elected people, described as senators, are defying the votes of over 14 million voters. Is tgat how you think Thailand should be run?

Really? I did not know that so I did an internet search for him. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chalard_Worachat It seems that Wikipedia does not agree with you about him. Unless you are talking about a different Chalard. That could explain it as you have not given his full name and title. Second search attempt. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/March_1977_Thai_coup_d'état_attempt It seems as though you were talking about Chalard Hiranyasiri who is someone else. Chalard Hiranyasiri was executed one month later without trial, in retaliation of the killing of Arun Thavathasin, a close friend of King Bhumibol Adulyadej. Not as a punishment for a successful or failed military coup, but for murder. So he was not executed as a punishment for a coup attempt, but for murder. There are several other links, but they require me to disable my Ad blocker. Why would I need to disable it when it is doing the job it was designed for?

But but but you have the posters unsubstantiated word for it. Is that not good enough? ???? It isn't for me.

There is every need for my comments. TBH I am bored waiting for promises of you and several other posters telling me that the proof will come. It NEVER comes. The oversight committee has had years of man hours, stacks of money spent and they have come up with nothing. What PROOF do you have that they do not. IMHO you also have nothing, but your unsubstantiated and not backed up word.

It will be very interesting to see the senators response to Srettha Thavisin, the party’s prime ministerial candidate. IMHO they will either have to accept it and choke on it, or reject it.

Have you forgotten the little matter of proof? Without enough proof for a prosecutor there can be no conviction. Do you have ANY proof or evidence to convict President Biden. If you do please send it to the oversight committee under R Comer and to all the MSM and social media. So far after hundreds of man hours and large amounts of taxpayers money they can find nothing. OTOH if you have no proof either, why did you bother to speculate and post?

The rules are NEVER followed after a military coup. The generals simply write new rules to suit themselves.

Why would you care? You have already made your feelings and compassion known.

And what a pathetic post from you. Not a single iota of sympathy, just condemnation. I had thought better of you than this.

The poor girl must have been terrified out of her wits. She has all my sympathy, and I hope that she will recover from this traumatic event.

It would have fallen into a full blown crisis no matter who was elected. He is simply the compromise candidate.

I hope that you are getting better. Until and unless it happens to them, most posters have no idea what it is like to remember something, go to do it and then wonder what you were going to do when you get there, Some posters will laugh and joke about it, until happens to them, when it isn't funny anymore. It can happen at any time. There are times when i am making or answering a post, and start a sentence already formed in my mind, get part way through and have no idea how I meant to finish it.
