The two turning points were 1913 (introduction of income tax and creation of the private banking oligarchy called The Fed) and 1973 (abandonment of the gold standard). Any endeavour to come back to the situation prior to 1913 is a good endeavour. October 2024: Trump floats ending the federal income tax. Here’s what that would mean “When we were a smart country, in the 1890s … this is when the country was relatively the richest it ever was. It had all tariffs. It didn’t have an income tax,” Trump said after a barber asked whether it would be possible to jettison the federal income tax. “Now we have income taxes, and we have people that are dying. They’re paying tax, and they don’t have the money to pay the tax.” https://edition.cnn.com/2024/10/26/politics/trump-income-taxes-tariffs/index.html

Actually, it is. Printed money not based on real value production… that is a pretty good description of the world financial domination system as it has existed since the early 20th century. Fortunately, the end is nigh.

I think this is the right way to look at it. Trump isn't trying to beat the other players, he's breaking the game.

Why would they do that?

Yes, of course it is.

Interesting… There does seem to be some backing to this theory. The below article suggests Covid, not the vaccine, is the culprit for neurological damage, but the issue is the Spike protein. Persistence of spike protein at the skull-meninges-brain axis may contribute to the neurological sequelae of COVID-19 • SARS-CoV-2 spike protein persists in the skull-meninges-brain axis in COVID-19 patients • Spike protein is sufficient to induce brain pathological and behavioral changes in mice • Spike protein enhances brain vulnerability and exacerbates neurological damage in mice • mRNA vaccines reduce, but do not eliminate, the spike burden https://www.cell.com/cell-host-microbe/fulltext/S1931-3128(24)00438-4 Brain damage report: A Case Report: Multifocal Necrotizing Encephalitis and Myocarditis after BNT162b2 mRNA Vaccination against COVID-19 Surprisingly, only spike protein but no nucleocapsid protein could be detected within the foci of inflammation in both the brain and the heart, particularly in the endothelial cells of small blood vessels. Since no nucleocapsid protein could be detected, the presence of spike protein must be ascribed to vaccination rather than to viral infection. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36298516/

Those who didn't know it were prevented from knowing it. The information was there, but not in the mainstream.

Stats can be used, distorted or omitted to meet a specific objective. For example, most countries stopped reporting the vaccination status of hospitalised people as soon as it was evident that they were all vaxxed, as part of the endeavour to encourage people to take the shot. Other figures are withheld when they don't fit the desired goal, example below: Pfizer Hid Almost 80% Of Covid Vaccine Trial Deaths From Regulators According to an analysis of the Pfizer-BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine clinical trial data, the vaccine makers hid fatality data from regulators in order to qualify for Emergency Use Authorization. https://thepeoplesvoice.tv/pfizer-hid-almost-80-of-covid-vaccine-trial-deaths-from-regulators/

I think this is definitely a contributing factor, as evidenced by the advent of YouTubers explaining how to live here on €/$/£500/month…

Possibly… though I did frequent Amsterdam (where the weed is very potent too) a lot in my younger years and I don't recall such incidents occurring. Maybe the heat is also a contributing factor…

I mentioned this issue in another thread today. This guy clearly has mental health issues. This is not an "unruly farang" problem, these people are going nuts. Why are there so many, all of a sudden? It didn't use to be like that (I don't buy the "it wasn't reported before" explanations).

And yet another one… It's becoming a daily occurrence.

Excellent marketing gimmick.

I understand this rationale and that was of course the first explanation I pondered on. I am not too convinced by it. I have lived in these farang-intensive places for years and occurrences of a foreigner assaulting a Thai would systematically be covered, at least by local news outlets, and cause a stir in the community. They were a rare occurrence and smartphones/social media were already widespread in the second half of the 2010s. All other types of events you mentioned ("Songkran traffic Jams, deaths, LBs getting their norks out… bringing Thailand into disrepute etc… before another bus rolls down a ravine & a speedboat full of tourists flips…") have been happening for as long as I've been here. But blatantly mentally disturbed farangs assaulting Thais, flipping their lid and going AMOK several times per month or even week? This is new. I don't have a definitive explanation for it, but it is a recent trend.

They are much more passive than they used to be. Back when I was living in Phuket (2011-2012), the roidhead would have been lynched by 50 Thais.

Before 2022, such occurrences were extremely rare, now they are almost daily. What is causing an increasing number of people to go nuts in recent times? Their brain is clearly affected by something.

Thanks for highlighting the sophistic nature of these headlines. "A Texas man who buried his eight-year-old daughter on Sunday after the unvaccinated child died with measles…" Therefore, the average reader is led to draw the conclusion that her unvaccinated status led to her death.

I am French. The biggest issue isn't so much the vocabulary, but the dumbing down of the syntax, which is clearly a consequence of the English-driven integration into the "global market". French is a truly beautiful language with a multitude of unique intricacies, but much to my dismay, fewer and fewer people are actually able to speak it properly. And AI certainly isn't helping.

Indeed, I recall us disagreeing in the past, which is absolutely fine. I appreciate the fact that you don't get all emotional, aggressive and hyperbolic (unlike a lot of people on this forum) when your own beliefs are challenged.

For people with misanthropic tendencies, the comments under that video will not restore any faith in the human race. Follow the science and don't forget to bleat "safe and effective" in harmony

Or a donut! And to think these were the people calling me a moron

In any case, the trope that people clogging hospitals and dying were unvaccinated, equating non-vaccination to illness and death, is a sophism.

Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla disagrees: “mRNA was a technology, but we had less experience, only two years working on this, and actually, mRNA was a technology that never delivered a single product until that day, not vaccine, not any other medicine.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/washington-post-live/2022/03/10/transcript-wp-subscriber-exclusive-albert-bourla-author-moonshot-inside-pfizers-nine-month-race-make-impossible-possible/

It's an indication that the battlespace in which he operates is complex and treacherous. If the children vax schedule isn't removed during his tenure, it will be a big disappointment and betrayal because that's what he was put there for. And ignorance is not an excuse as he wrote The Real Anthony Fauci, which unequivocally exposes the crime against humanity which was commited under the guise of the "Covid response".
