Crime British Fugitives Arrested for Robbery & Fraud, Linked to Nominee Businesses on Koh Samui
Two Thai friends of mine, recently paid 80,000 baht each to an agency, for overseas work. They went to Bangkok, to take an english language proficiency test, then never heard back. Later, they found out they were scammed, along with 100 others. My question to them was, what kind of due diligence work did you do? Did you ask for references from people who had already worked overseas, under that program? They claimed it was a govt. program, administered under the department of labor. Did you ever call the department of labor to inquire? Did you ask to see the license, or the contracts first? Why was the money sent by wire transfer? Why was it sent to an individual, rather than an official agency. There were red flags everywhere you looked, yet they were continued to believe, and ended up totally duped. There is a whole subculture in this world, who absolutely refuse to work for a living, and instead like to prey on those who are vulnerable, naive, dumb, and easy victims. It is our responsibility to be careful, prudent, willing to do some vetting, some research, some due diligence, anytime we part with cash. Especially online. -

Crime Man Caught Smuggling Nearly 18 Million Baht in Cash from Myanmar
Dumb criminals? I'll never understand - just declare it, pay whatever tax you need to "clean" the money, then move on. Now this idiot lost all the cash and his liberty. And if he's only a mule, then double stupid. -

FBI Reopens Investigations into White House Cocaine Discovery and Supreme Court Leak
If I can recall the cocaine incident was covered up. They found it in an area reserved for staff entry only. But then said it could have been planted by any visitor as well. They had CCTV of the area also but claimed no leads using this. Personally, I think Harris dropped it there. Or was placed there to pick up later by someone else. But that is my opinion only especially after seeing videos of Harris after she lost the elections.. She looked haggard and high or drunk. -

All Vaccines Will Kill You - The evidence is overwhelming
So are you implying that the stuff you cut and pasted disproves vaccines and proves” “All Vaccines Will Kill You - The evidence is overwhelming” – yet you are unable to comment on this yourself – presumably because you don’t understand it. I think it’s is a crucial point in rational scepticism to dismantle bogus "appeals to authority" that conspiracy theorists like yourself love to misuse (e.g., “This scientist questions vaccines, so they must be right about everything”). Being brilliant in one theory or domain doesn't guarantee someone immune to bad ideas elsewhere. Here are some notable examples of scientists who made groundbreaking contributions, but also promoted fringe, pseudoscientific, or outright bizarre ideas… Isaac Newton – Father of modern physics… and obsessed with alchemy One of the most brilliant scientists in history, yet, he spent decades trying to turn lead into gold and searching for hidden messages in the Bible. Linus Pauling – Two-time Nobel laureate… and vitamin C fanatic - Revolutionized chemistry and won the Nobel Peace Prize and then later became obsessed with mega doses of vitamin C as a cure-all — including for cancer — despite lack of solid evidence. His claims have spawned decades of quack medicine. Francis Crick – Co-discoverer of DNA structure… and believer in “directed panspermia” Brilliant geneticist, later promoted the idea that life on Earth was seeded by aliens. Purely speculative and outside the bounds of conventional science. Do you sill eat octopus and squid? Kary Mullis – Invented PCR… and denied HIV causes AIDS - Nobel Prize-winning biochemist who invented a key method used in modern virology. Denied HIV's role in AIDS, backed astrology, and claimed to have encountered glowing raccoons while high on LSD. Nikola Tesla – Electrical genius… and believer in communication with extraterrestrials - Pioneered AC electricity and wireless transmission. Also believed he received signals from aliens and made outlandish claims about "death rays" and energy beams. The moral of this story is - Even the brightest minds can hold bizarre beliefs. What matters in science isn’t who says it, but whether it's backed by evidence, reproducibility, and peer review. So when someone says, “But this Nobel scientist supports my theory…” — remind them: even geniuses need data. There is an obvious irony here - The moment a respected scientist says something weird or fringe, conspiracy theorists don’t see a red flag — they see a golden ticket. Instead of asking, “Does this claim have evidence?”, they shout - “See? Even a Nobel Prize winner agrees with me!” They ignore the thousands of experts who disagree — and cling to the one outlier, even if that person has clearly veered off the rails. It's confirmation bias at its purest: the scientist is brilliant until they say something mainstream — then suddenly they’re “paid off by Big Pharma.” to sum it up Conspiracy Logic 101 – 1 expert saying something weird = "a brave truth-teller" 10,000 experts agreeing on facts = "a global cover-up" This isn’t about truth. It’s about validation. And that’s why they treat scientific outliers like messiahs — even when those same people are ranting about vitamin C curing cancer or aliens seeding life on Earth.
