It was because he was a Jew.  He said all the right stuff- pro Hamas, pro trans, pro LGBT agenda. Only one problem- his religion.  We have been hearing for years that anti-zionist Jews were welcome by the left. Seems not to be the case.

Initial press reports indicated that she had also claimed he had drugged her, which Van Roy denies. On Nov. 28, five more women came forward in a report in French investigative magazine Mediapart, alleging sexual misconduct. In total, nine separate women have accused the director of sexual assault and harassment. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general-news/does-anna-mark-end-line-luc-besson-1221365/ Same as Harvey Weinstein.</description><pubDate>Tue, 30 Jun 2026 02:28:39 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Australian Arrested at Bangkok Airport Over Pattaya Murder</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397575-australian-arrested-at-bangkok-airport-over-pattaya-murder/?do=findComment&comment=20576074]]></link><description>His passport shows his place of birth as Ballarat, Australia</description><pubDate>Tue, 30 Jun 2026 02:28:04 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>2ND Hand Motorbike</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397717-2nd-hand-motorbike/?do=findComment&comment=20576073]]></link><description>HUGE AMOUNT OF FLASHING POP UP ADVERTISING.

They use air freight, and purchases are then delivered via  Thai Post domestic EMS without any additional customs fees or paperwork. The entire transaction is handled on LINE with bank-to-bank transfer in Thailand.    For shoes, it works out to about half the price of any other method I've found to buy from Amazon. For higher price-to-weight items like electronics, these services are a great deal.</description><pubDate>Tue, 30 Jun 2026 02:25:17 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Thai Flight Attendant Held Over Heroin at Melbourne Airport</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397696-thai-flight-attendant-held-over-heroin-at-melbourne-airport/?do=findComment&comment=20576069]]></link><description>Could you let us know which forums you are referring to and where they can be found?</description><pubDate>Tue, 30 Jun 2026 02:25:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Teen Jet Ski Worker Dies at Jomtien Beach</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397733-teen-jet-ski-worker-dies-at-jomtien-beach/?do=findComment&comment=20576068]]></link><description>How about - didn&#x2019;t know how to swim.

You have obsessions with skin color?  Since you love mass immigration let's do a little comparison how it affects daily life vs. guns.  Personal lethal risk in public  Gun violence: Extremely low random risk for ordinary people. Most Europeans never encounter it.  Honorable mention to Sweden (referenced also below) that it&#x2019;s rate rose to ~0.4/100k (still low absolutely; ~40-60 gun homicides/year recently) Immigration-linked violence: Higher per-capita involvement by certain origin groups in homicide and serious assault &#x2028;&#x2028;(Sweden: foreign background 2.5&#x2013;4x+ overrepresentation in lethal/violent crime&#x2028; Germany: non-Germans ~35%+ of suspects despite ~15% population share, higher in violent categories). &#x2028;&#x2028;  Fear and behavior in streets/public spaces  Guns: Negligible.  Immigration effects: Elevated caution in parts of Malmo, Paris banlieues, certain German/UK cities etc.. Reports of group harassment, theft, and knife incidents lead to avoidance of some areas after dark, especially for women and elderly. Public perception of unsafety rose in multiple countries even where overall crime trends were mixed. &#x2028; Women&#x2019;s and girls&#x2019; safety &#x2028; Guns: Minimal specific threat.  Immigration patterns: Disproportionate involvement in sexual offenses by some subgroups &#x2028;&#x2028;Sweden studies: foreign-born/background majority of rape convictions in recent decades Germany similar patterns for North African/Afghan-origin suspects). This correlates with documented rises in street harassment and group incidents in high-inflow periods/areas, prompting behavioral adaptations.&#x2028;  Youth environments and schools &#x2028; Guns: Rare in schools &#x2028; Immigration: Integration strains in diverse suburbs show higher disruption, cultural clashes, and recruitment into gangs among second-generation youth from certain backgrounds. Sweden&#x2019;s gang violence (shootings/explosions) heavily involves criminal networks with migrant roots.&#x2028;  Neighborhood character and &#x201C;everyday&#x201D; movement &#x2028; Guns: Do not create sustained &#x201C;no-go&#x201D; perceptions or demographic shifts. &#x2028; Uncontrolled inflows: Led to parallel societies and higher-crime pockets in multiple countries, affecting property values, local commerce, and routine activities (shopping, commuting). Official Swedish government statements acknowledge integration failures, exclusion, and parallel structures.&#x2028;  Terrorism and mass-casualty events  Guns: Strict controls limit access; attacks rare.&#x2028;  Post-2015 migration wave: Multiple Islamist attacks across Europe carried out or inspired by asylum seekers/radicals from origin countries, changing security at events, transport, and public gatherings.  Policing and daily state presence &#x2028; Guns: Low need for armed response in routine policing (many forces unarmed). &#x2028; Immigration crime: Increased demands for surveillance, stop-and-search debates, cameras, and resources in affected cities. Strains trust in some communities and fuels political fights over profiling. &#x2028; Economic quality-of-life drag &#x2028; Guns: Low direct costs. &#x2028; Uncontrolled low-skilled inflows: High welfare, housing, education, and healthcare costs in welfare states. Diverts public funds, raises taxes or reduces service quality for everyone, and affects housing availability/prices in pressured cities. &#x2028; Social trust and cohesion &#x2028; Guns: Little erosion of interpersonal trust. &#x2028;Rapid demographic change + poor assimilation: Linked to lower social capital, higher fear of crime, and reduced civic cooperation in diverse areas (consistent with broader diversity research). Visible in polls and rising support for stricter migration policies across Europe. &#x2028; Long-term cultural and political daily reality &#x2028; Guns: No major shift in norms or politics. &#x2028; Uncontrolled inflows: Accelerated debates over values (gender roles, secularism, free speech on religion, honor-based issues). Contributed to political polarization, policy reversals (Sweden, Denmark tightening), and cultural adaptation pressures in schools, media, and public life.</description><pubDate>Tue, 30 Jun 2026 02:22:07 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Australia - The Lucky Country - On borrowed money.</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1245006-australia-the-lucky-country-on-borrowed-money/?do=findComment&comment=20576063]]></link><description>NDIS is helping criminals have a better life also.    https://www.ndis.gov.au/news/11571-sa-woman-charged-over-alleged-5-million-dishonesty-plot-against-ndis  https://www.afp.gov.au/news-centre/media-release/sydney-man-arrested-over-alleged-15-million-national-disability-insurance</description><pubDate>Tue, 30 Jun 2026 02:21:24 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Follow the Funding of  Money from Communist  & others to NGO's News]]></title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397729-follow-the-funding-of-money-from-communist-others-to-ngos-news/?do=findComment&comment=20576062]]></link><description>NB Neville Roy Singham is a US citizen.</description><pubDate>Tue, 30 Jun 2026 02:20:45 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Aussie Faces Murder Charges in Pattaya</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397691-aussie-faces-murder-charges-in-pattaya/?do=findComment&comment=20576061]]></link><description>I am not saying the reports are wrong, and  working girls can be conniving, it goes with the territory and with the tattoos, it certainly wasn't her first rodeo.
