All the crap about human rights and democracy is the dressing up of the pig before we slaughter it. And frankly that  what makes me sick not some random ner do well committing random acts of violence and focusing on that. It's the focus and narrative that I take umbrage with because of the way it's framed and its intent. Bit like the Reichstag Fire  - a Dutch communist  did do it - but that's not the point - it provided a context and supposed just cause to go on a rampage. That's why Farage and his mates secretly relish every latest "immigrant" outrage - they want to burn down the house and need the tinder to do so. Don't give them that pleasure.   Here's Farage's Surrey mansion on 7.5 acres -  get angry about that bought with crypto money from a Thai millionaire.   https://www.rightmove.co.uk/house-prices/details/a849141c-a508-4e8a-9658-c5adc00d0e04?id=media0</description><pubDate>Mon, 15 Jun 2026 12:55:02 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Norway Crown Princess's Son Jailed for Two Rapes</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1396790-norway-crown-princesss-son-jailed-for-two-rapes/?do=findComment&comment=20554530]]></link><description>And He most likely brought in kgs of coain on diplamat passport.  He had a diplomatic passport, but the claim that he used it to bring in kilos of cocaine is not proven. What is documented is drug use, drug-related charges, and serious criminal convictions, not proven cocaine smuggling by diplomatic passport.  But we can thin he did abuse that position. His father also had a few convictions in his younger age, so the apple do not fall far from the ,,,,,,,,,,  AI  There are serious drug-related parts of the case too. He admitted transporting 3.5 kg of marijuana, and there have been reports about cocaine use and people around him. But the claim that he brought in kilos of cocaine on a diplomatic passport is not proven from what I can see. That should be treated as allegation, not fact.

I take much more than 2 teaspoons but my bet is sodium isn't his issue.  Doubt creatine will do much either because he isn't active and creatine is useless if you don't need it.

In truth, I take your commentary fairly lightly. Though I must admit, I'd assumed you would have relocated to either the backwaters of Montana or deepest China by now.  Curiously, your AI-generated biopic appears to have overlooked one of your more defining characteristics: a persistent tendency towards ambitious migratory plans that remain somewhat more mobile than your actual location.</description><pubDate>Mon, 15 Jun 2026 12:48:36 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>How to increase my energy levels?</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1396776-how-to-increase-my-energy-levels/?do=findComment&comment=20554523]]></link><description>Creatine and salt work the best.

My point was that if he invests it lets say in S&amp;P500 for that year, then he makes a return of 80K (going on its historical 10% average) so he is 50K in profit or at least funds his adventures on his little trips to Pattaya.    Yes it's not legit, but it's a very different level of not legit to forging stamps in a passport.   The purpose of the 800K is to cover possible medical expenses so whether it sits in a Thai bank or a high interest or investment account shouldn't really make any difference so long as it is accessible.   Also there is a whole industry seemingly built around retirees not using their own cash for this involving agents, the banks and immigration so I doubt he is overly worried about it.]]></description><pubDate>Mon, 15 Jun 2026 12:41:25 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Your current leading locations for a Plan B backup to Thailand?</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1396672-your-current-leading-locations-for-a-plan-b-backup-to-thailand/?do=findComment&comment=20554521]]></link><description>Baht or dollars?</description><pubDate>Mon, 15 Jun 2026 12:40:59 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Are we the last generation of Thinkers</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1396793-are-we-the-last-generation-of-thinkers/?do=findComment&comment=20554520]]></link><description>Sit the 11+ test - Have a go at.... The Maths Paper The English Paper Verbal Reasoning Papers Non Verbal Reasoning Papers GL Assessment Papers https://examberrypapers.co.uk/resources/free-11-plus-practice-papers/  These tests consist of dozens of rapid-fire questions across Maths, English, Verbal Reasoning and Non-Verbal Reasoning, often allowing little more than 30 seconds per question on average.  This is what many 10-year-olds are capable of when competing for places at secondary school.  Yet some people seem happy to observe a handful of children spending thirty minutes of their day behaving exactly as children always have and conclude that an entire generation has somehow become incapable of thought.  Try sitting one of those papers yourself. Fifty or so questions, under time pressure, across multiple disciplines, knowing that every second counts - then realise that half the 10 year olds taking these tests would kick your a$$es with comical embarrassment.  You may come away with a rather different impression of the next generation - as you are focusing only on those you may see using an iPad at dinner.</description><enclosure url="https://assets.aseannow.com/forum/uploads/monthly_2026_06/Screenshot2026-06-15at19_32_58.png.85b65fffc48c8a01b6879ffb336764e7.png" length="70446" type="image/png"/><pubDate>Mon, 15 Jun 2026 12:40:44 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Your current leading locations for a Plan B backup to Thailand?</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1396672-your-current-leading-locations-for-a-plan-b-backup-to-thailand/?do=findComment&comment=20554519]]></link><description>I mean monthly cost of living levels including rent for expats moving to lower cost countries.
