Assuming that the control of the vessel is via satellite comms, it would not take much to jam the signal, overpower what crew is aboard, and take over the ship.

What about democrat supporters of meat hunting? Do you understand the mind of those people?

Actually just about all of them.
Considering that:

I got confused! I thought you asked if I spoke Thai to 'farang wives', which seems like a silly idea if these wives are farang!! Then I understood what you asked. I would speak Thai only if a Thai partner did not understand English, and I would also speak English to the foreigner out of politeness.
Here in Laos some of my Lao friends speak fluent English but their Lao partners do not. So I will always speak Lao when chatting with them both, out of politeness for the person who doesn't understand English.
Finally, my language skills are stretched because an old French guy lives in my village and he doesn't speak Lao or English or.... So I chat with him in French whilst simultaneously translating our conversation into Lao for the benefit of the village kids who always crowd around and want to ask questions of the French guy 🙂
Have you met any Lao that speak French? During the Vietnamese/American war, French linguists were needed to translate decrypted messages between the Vietnamese and Lao government/military. The same thing with Cambodia communications between Laos and Vietnam. It was the lingua franca of Southeast Asia, with Thailand being the exception.

On 2/23/2024 at 5:29 AM, billd766 said:And how safe do you think Trump's storage at Mar-a-Lago was for seriously classified documents?
He had Secret Service agents present at Mar A Lago. I have had to perform work in areas where the secret service provided protection. No one should have been able to access the area where Trump had the documents stored, without the secret service allowing it.
Even after having a background investigation for a top secret clearance with SCI access, two back ground investigations as a federal agent for two different security clearances, it was difficult to impossible for me to complete some work in areas where presidents and ex presidents were present. This even when I had an additional background investigation to work places such as democrat and republican conventions, I would be denied access to areas and I was supposed to be there.
Can you suggest a way that someone from the general public would have had access to any classified documents in Trump's residence, when the secret service was present when that member of the public was not supposed to be there?- 3

I need some analysis by you.
It's been revealed that the Biden impeachment effort was aided by a Russian disinformation campaign.
My question is: why would the Russians help Trump by assisting with the impeachment of Biden?
Perhaps it is to the benefit of russia and putin,, regardless if there is any benefit to Trump, if there is any.
The russians are in this to benifit their country. They don't care who may gain from their efforts, if any.- 1

Exact. It played a role in the renewals of warrants about Carter Page.
And the Trump campaign, which included others as well as Trump, since the dossier was about Trump, and without Trump, there is no Trump campaign to have been investigated!

As has been repeatedlly pointed out and to no avail, at least in the case of some such as yourself, both the Inspector General of the Justice Dept and John Durham have acknowledged that the investigation of Trump was not predicated on the Steele Dossier.
There is this too.
The FBI refrained from launching a FISA warrant request until it came into possession of a dossier from Christopher Steele, a former British intelligent agent. The Steele dossier played "a central and essential role in the decision by FBI [Office of General Counsel] to support the request for FISA surveillance targeting Carter Page, as well as the FBI's ultimate decision to seek the FISA order," the IG report concluded. The FBI "drew almost entirely" from the Steele dossier to prove a “well-developed conspiracy” between Russians and the Trump campaign. The IG found that FBI agents were “unable to corroborate any of the specific substantive allegations against Carter Page” in the Steele dossier but the FBI relied on Steele’s allegations regardless.- 1

Yet, were there not several FISA warrants issued to investigate the Trump campaign based on that document?

Might be like that with biden not being prosecuted for keeping unsecured classified documents, something I could be in prison for still, if I had done what he did, having had access to extremely sensitive stuff. That was scary stuff. We had classified document compartments like bank vaults. If you were caught in one, by yourself, without a second person in there, you were arrested and subject to imprisonment!
Have you ever used or tried to access a top secret level, secure, filing cabinet, that refuses to open, even when you have the correct combination or even seen one? A much more secure location to store classified documents than a cardboard box or car in a garage, if what I have heard reported about in biden's case (I have not tried to verify the accuracy of those statements).

In what dictionary did you "find that"? The rules of this forum require that we speak English here.
I find it in the posts I read on the internet and from listening to different people talking about it.
As to dictionaries. Woke used to be something related to the opposite of asleep, if I recall correctly. Sort of like "gay" used to mean " lighthearted and carefree", "Nan had a gay disposition and a very pretty face", now it means something entirely different. -

Anyway, the IG investigation confirmed the Russia investigation was properly predicated.
OK, my reading comprehension is failing me here. What does "properly predicated" mean in your sentence?

It happens that a significant fraction of those rumors were true.
This is the first that I have read, that the steele dossier was funded by republicans.
Perhaps you should inform AP. But then, perhaps some of those RINO's (who I belive are moderate democrats) were involved too.!
NEW YORK (AP) — Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign and the Democratic National Committee have agreed to pay $113,000 to settle a Federal Election Commission investigation into whether they violated campaign finance law by misreporting spending on research that eventually became the infamous Steele dossier.
That’s according to documents sent Tuesday to the Coolidge Reagan Foundation, which had filed an administrative complaint in 2018 accusing the Democrats of misreporting payments made to a law firm during the 2016 campaign to obscure the spending.

The Steele dossier was only one of many sources in the Trump-Russia investigation, and the investigation was predicated by the Downer report, not the dossier.
Therefore, the dossier was not the sole basis for the Trump-Russia investigation and the validity of the investigation did not only hinge on its veracity.The Mueller investigation was released in 2019, a full four years before the Durham report was released in 2023.
The Durham investigation was intended to review the origins of the FBI’s investigation, not to discredit Mueller’s findings. It has been criticized as a politically motivated witch hunt by Trump, which ultimately failed to achieve its objectives.
Therefore, the release of the Durham report could not have led to the Mueller investigation being dropped, as the Mueller investigation had already concluded by the time the Durham report was released.
IMHOI. Papadopoulos Knew Nothing about the DNC Emails — and Probably Nothing about Any Emails
The one and only source for the email component of the story is George Papadopoulos. He, of course, is a convicted liar — convicted, in fact, of lying to the FBI during the very same interviews in which he related the detail about emails. Moreover, the Mueller report confirms that he is simply unreliable: To inflate his importance, he overhyped his credentials and repeatedly misled his Trump-campaign superiors regarding his discussions with people be believed had connections to the Russian regime — who they were and what they were in a position to promise.
Other than Papadopoulos’s own word, there is no evidence — none — that he was told about emails by Joseph Mifsud, a Maltese academic whom the FBI and the Mueller investigation deceptively portrayed as a Russian agent. As I’ve previously detailed, because the investigation could not establish that Mifsud was a Russian agent, Mueller’s charge against Papadopoulos is artfully framed to obscure this weakness. Carefully parsed, Mueller allegation is that Papadopoulos had reason to believe Mifsud was a Russian agent — not that Mifsud actually was one.

"Should" those who supported the Steele dossier, Russia gate investigation against Trump, also go back and correct their posts?
