Spreaders of Conspiracy Theories: Unmasking the Motivations Behind the Lies
Yes, you did, but you also included the aftermath of 9/11. You are still mistaken in both cases. Hate crimes against s and Muslims surged after 9/11 and Oct. 7, but still lagged behind the number of hate crimes committed against Jews In 2001, anti-Islamic hate crimes against skyrocketed to 481 from 28 the year before, still less than half the 1,043 anti-Jewish hate crimes. https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/statistics-on-religious-hate-crimes The FBI wrote in the Uniform Crime Reports for 2001: "Another noticeable increase in 2001 was among religious-bias incidents. Anti-Islamic religion incidents were previously the second least reported, but in 2001, they became the second highest reported among religious-bias incidents (anti-Jewish religion incidents were the highest), growing by more than 1,600 percent over the 2000 volume. In 2001, reported data showed there were 481 incidents made up of 546 offenses having 554 victims of crimes motivated by bias toward the Islamic religion." It also stated: "A breakdown of the 2,118 victims of hate crimes motivated by religious bias showed that the majority of victims were Jewish, 56.5 percent. Anti-Islamic bias accounted for 26.2 percent of victims of hate crimes motivated by religious bias, anti-Catholic bias accounted for 1.9 percent, antiProtestant 1.7 percent, and anti-atheism or antiagnosticism 0.2 percent. Biases directed at members of other religious groups and those directed at groups made up of individuals from various religious faiths accounted for 11.1 percent and 2.5 percent of the victims, respectively." https://ucr.fbi.gov/hate-crime/2001 The pattern was the same in the aftermath of the Oct. 7. As the figures in my previous post indicated, hate crimes against Muslims rose during the final three months of 2023, but nevertheless fell far short of hate crimes against Jews. It's also important to note that these figures cover actions that meet the definition of hate crime in the U.S. There have been thousands and thousands of unpleasant actions aimed at Jews which don't meet that definition. "Since October 7, antisemitic hate speech has appeared online and offline, in countries around the world, and on occasion has been voiced by influential figures. Similarly, antisemitic threats, harassment, discrimination and violence have also been documented around the world. While the perpetrators of some of these antisemitic incidents appear to have been motivated primarily by events in Gaza, some incidents have been opportunistic and committed by actors who are taking advantage of widespread anti-Israel sentiment to propagate hateful stereotypes and conspiracies and calls for violence against Jews. "The emblematic examples of antisemitic hate speech, discrimination, and violence documented below are only a small subset of incidents of antisemitism that have occurred since October 7, 2023." https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/statistics-on-religious-hate-crimes -

Israel Hamas War the Widening Middle East Conflict
I'm assuming the unfriendly forces in those countries eg Iraq ( from where a missile was already fired at israel ) would attempt to attack the planes as they come in to land. -

Macron Warns EU Could Face Collapse Without Urgent Reforms
No difference really - Nato's aim since inception hasn't changed: "keep the Russians out, the Americans in, and the Germans down.” https://www.nato.int/acad/conf/future95/rodman.htm Further reading: https://iges.ba/en/geopolitics/mackinder-who-rules-eastern-europe-rules-the-world/ Lord Hastings Lionel Ismay was NATO’s first Secretary General...: -

Israel Hamas War the Widening Middle East Conflict
What else could it be? One wonders what Biden is thinking as netanyahu snubs his nose at him and his previously stated desire that israel does not occupy Gaza, after combat finishes. -

Why is the MAGA movement so susceptible to crazy conspiracy theories?
B.S.! Nothing secret about project Citrus, it was publicly known from the 50s. And it was about cloud seeding. In 1952, General Electric published its own "History of Project Cirrus", compiled by Barrington Havens of G.E.'s public relations department. https://archives.albany.edu/description/catalog/ua902-010aspace_5ffdd0d7156d14616da5066f040d4f1f -

Americans in Thailand Walk to Exercise the Right to Vote Overseas
Really?? did you or any American citizen lose any rights or freedom when Trump was in office during those 4 years??? If he is such the dictator or tyrant as you and the poisonous left make him out to be, why isn't he in the White House at the moment since he's removed all the pillars of democracy?? If you lost your rights in any shape or form, please tell us your woes and despair! I would love to hear your pain and sorrow. I am so freaking tired of this narrative by anti-Trump people or media. they expounded so often they actually believe in their own agenda!! -

What do you use for contraception?
1st one- naive young man in 20s, got played by an older thai woman who essentially wanted a white sperm donor (she admitted this lol). This kept me coming back to Thailand for long periods. 2nd one- ex just got pregnant and kept the baby. 3rd and 4th- current partner for last 5 years. Just happened. Obviously its a 2 way street but there is a certain cohort of thai women who actively seek out foreign men and whilst I was happy to oblige as you can see a few certainly got what they wanted out of it. -

Details of one mishap . North Carolina mayor: My daughter whose house got completely wiped out , she had no flood insurance, meets with Fema and only gets $ 300 for personal items .harris announced fema assistance at $750.

Trump chickens out again.
“They said the laptop from hell was from Russia, and I said, ‘It wasn’t from Russia. It was from Hunter,’” he added. “And I never got an apology.” https://www.aol.com/trump-demands-apology-60-minutes-012114104.html Trump lying, as usual! 😃 -

METV or Visa Exemption for multiple short-stay entries? (+ internal flights).
Thanks. The London Embassy is an absolute shambles for information. Different pages for the same visa types, with different requirements. -

To DTV or not to DTV - that is the question.
I'm not sure if you are aware but any type of Visa obtained in the UK is online only now. There are no visits to the London Thai embassy. All Visas (including the DTV) are applied for via the following:- http://thaievisa.go.th/ -

Thai students studying for international degrees at Thai universities
The Thammasat Uni. is huge. Seriously! We spent whole day there - enormous campus! Mahidol at Salaya (???) is also pretty big, Admin Dept.'s staff at Phaythai is just so sweet and kind. love them all. But... We were talking about college, not a "business school" which pure baloney. Business school program is a complete sham. (IMO) And yes, @sanmyintmaung, worldwide locals pay less. The biggest difference moneywise between locals and kaijin (IMO) are in AU and NZ. next - SG. We didn't do "googling" and "browsing" - we physically went to Admin Depts. at KMUTT, Mahidol and Thammasat (and few others). And we enquired for the real science, not some banana MBA, BBA, Bachelor of Arts and Whistling etc. I'm sure that Mahidol college is the best moneywise, next (Ooopsi!) is Saint Louis college. PS: Talking about medical program of course, not applied physics or rocket science. -
