At least ABC isn't stupid enough to say, "Fiery but peaceful protests."

Yep - those brave, patriotic selfless Ukrainian troops have routed the evil Ruskies and killed millions of them, and have now chased the Cossacks back to the Dnipropetrovsk Oblast. The end is in sight - they'll be running back to Moscow anytime now or surrendering enmass.

I see folks on AseanNow don't read much. Why isn't that a surprise at all.

Current read: The Coming of the Third Reich by Richard J. Evans. It's a three book historical trilogy. This is different than American journalist William L. Shirer's book The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich: A History of Nazi Germany as Evans is a historian and writes with an historical academic perspective.

I didn't see J6 protestors throw Molatov cocktails at police, firing fireworks and explosives at the cops, or hurling bricks and rocks at Capitol police. They didn't block the freeways, they did burn vehicles, they did resort to arson and burn down the Capitol building and offices, and they didn't go an a rampage through DC burning, looting, and committing acts of assault. But that is happening in LA. J6 violent? Yeah, the vast majority getting thrown into prison for year for "Parading" and trespass for walking in single line though the Capitol building and staying within the roped areas and taking pictures after the Capital police opened the freaking doors and invited them in. Nice try OP. Utter 🐂💩 but nice try. What do you pro-Antifa guys on the Left love to say, Oh yeah - "False Equivalent."

At the end of the day it will be, "Epstein killed himself," "There is nothing in the Epstein files," "We didn't find anything on Fauci's phone, hard-drives, or devices because they were all wiped clean." Blah blah blah, new boss same as the old boss.

The UK has all of the hallmarks of a country that is now turning into a third-world totalitarian s**t-hole as exemplified by the government's use of state sanctions to legislate authoritarian dictates to curtail freedom of speech and expression as the state itself protects those who illegally enter the country as the government itself seeks to destroy UK culture and heritage, and British nationalism. Orwell's book was suppose to be fiction, not a template for government behavior.

Sadly there are very stupid people who believe what they hear. Just need to look toward those that believe MSM. 👈

I'm no more influence by "non-experts" than I am by "experts," especially since 2020 when so-called "experts" were using the megaphone of the Main-Stream Media (who is funded almost entirely by Big Pharma) to demand to those who would blindly listen that they must ignore everyone but "the correct ExpertsTM," (those espousing "The One and Only Correct TrueTM Narrative supported by 'The ScienceTM'") and ignore the "wrong experts," (those espousing counter narratives as demanded by the Scientific Method of scientific research methodology) and by God, don't ever attempt to research or think on your own 👈 so said Dr. Anthony (I_Am_The_ScienceTM) Fauci. My approach is to corroborate and vet facts and information, use "Occam's Razor" where appropriate especially when showered with propaganda,, but be open to changing facts and circumstance, and realize that monied interests in both government and business use propaganda to sway the weakest minds, because if the majority are swayed to believe BS, then the minority narrative can be drowned out, ridiculed, and dismissed. I neither blindly follow "experts" nor do I blindly follow Billy Bob who is convinced the Earth is flat.

After your rant about paying for sex - please don't come back.

" Is it any wonder, with all the constant flip flopping on visas, taxes, dual pricing, airport tax, scamming locals, earth-quakes, constant violence on social media & the strong baht - that tourists are now opting for safer, cleaner, cheaper and friendlier destinations? Thailand lost it's smile decades ago, and if they are still smiling, one can't even tell because of the masks they are still wearing... Mark." bob There! Fixed it!

You mean - "Digital Nomads?"

Taiwan is Chinese territory just like Hawaii is US territory. If the local government of Hawaii decided to establish the sovereign country of Hawaii, this would be like China threatening that if the US launches a large-scale invasion of Hawaii, it would force China to divert its military resources to the mid-Pacific. If Hawaii secedes from the US, it's none of China's business. The issue between Taiwan and China is a domestic issue. The US is threatening war with China to support the secession of Taiwan. That would be as stupid as China threatening war with the US over the secession of any of the 50 US states. It's none of the United State's business but they need a casus belli to go to war with China and this is the one they have chosen. The US and NATO countries need excuses to project aggression. Taiwan is the excuse to go to war with China on the Chinese mainland. Ukraine is the excuse to go to war with Russian on the Russian homeland. Nuclear enrichment at a 3.6% level required make fuel for nuclear reactors and falls with in NPT guidelines, but will used as the excuse to got to war with Iran in Persia. If it wasn't nuclear enrichment, it would be some other excuse, like Iranian missile tech that would be used to go to war with Iran. Which is coming soon.

And what do you expect. The Western leaders and their military generals have been verbalizing their intentions to go to war with Russia, China, and Iran for years. How do they do it? They project their intentions on Russia, China, and Iran: "Aggressive Russia plans to conquer Europe." "Aggressive China plans to conquer all of Asia." "Aggressive Iran plans to conquer the entire Middle East." US foreign doctrine pretty much since the end of WW2 has been to overthrow these countries by instigateing government upheaval from within or by external military force and then install puppet governments which work for Western interests that allow Western corporations to rape those country's resources and destroy their cultures and way of life. And then the US and NATO push their troops right up to the borders of these countries and then issue military threats in the name of "Countering Russian, Chinese, and Iranian aggression." Now we are to that point where Russia, China, Iran, as well as the DPRK have been driven together to form alliances and mutual defense pacts. The war rhetoric is coming out of the US, UK, EU, and other US allies by Western "war hawks" and "war pigs.". What is coming out of Russia, China, Iran, and the DPRK is the acknowledgement that the West plans to go to war with them all by 2030. The West has been verbalizing it for decades. I know who the actual "aggressors" are. Start by identifying the one with 180 military bases around the world as well as their allies - not the ones with a handful of bases worldwide. I have no doubt - the West is going to drag the rest of the world into another world war - "To Protect Liberty, Freedom, and Democracy, and The American Way" - of course. The end result? Have Vickie Nuland cook up and another batch of cookies! It should get hot enough.

The scams are driving my each "mark's" personal greed. If you aren't driven my greed, you'd never fall for the con.

I'm keeping this is a box and having it cremated with me.

Send a message to the White House and tell Trump that his tariffs are stopping Thailand from bending you over a stump and giving you the Jolly Roger.

Go into a pharmacy as ask for Valosine 75mg. If that doesn't ring a bell with the sales staff, ask for Effexor 75mg or generic Venlafaxine 75mg. You probably want to write them out or take a picture of a box with the label. Pharmacy sales staff in Thailand can be hit or miss, especially when there is no pharmacist around.

I don't use the Thumbs-Down emoji.

Just download a copy of Windows 11 Pro and install it. Licenses on Lazada are dirt cheap. I'd personally would never use a pre-loaded version of any OS because you honestly have no idea what is running in the background hoovering up your personal information.

They need to throw someone under the bus.

I was thinking along the same lines: They are killing the compliant. But they did try to mandate the shots and get the global governments to force you to take it. We were on the cusp. Corporations aligned with the WEF and Gates were tasked to force their own employees to forcefully submit to the shots or lose their jobs. You can tell the companies who still have their employees under their hooves - all their employees still wear masks at work. And my guess is that all of their employees are forced to take boosters or lose their jobs. I would have found a different job.

The shots were given FDA approval based on their ability to increase antibody titers and not due to observable efficacy in double-blind, placebo based studies. And as this article points out, it's still this way except the FDA now significantly narrows down the target community of these shot - and healthy children are not recommended to get the shot. Plus the studies run by the manufacturers of the shot is the definition of "Conflict Of Interest." But the reality is that Big Pharma owns Congress as do other monied special interests with multi-million dollar lobbies. https://brownstone.org/articles/covid-19-vaccine-reform-is-moving-slower-than-many-had-hoped/
