Crime American Arrested in Pattaya for Attempting to Exchange Fake US Dollars
Picture courtesy of MGR online An American man has been arrested in Pattaya for attempting to exchange counterfeit US dollars for Thai baht. The suspect, Mr. Stookey, 66, was found with 21 fake $100 bills marked “For Motion Picture Use Only.” On 3rd June, Police Colonel Anake Srathongyu, along with Pattaya investigation officers, apprehended Mr. Stookey at the "TT Currency Exchange" booth on Jomtien Beach Road, Chonburi. He was caught with ten fake $100 bills at the scene and 11 more found in a document folder. Picture courtesy of MGR online The investigation revealed that Mr. Stookey presented the fake notes to the exchange booth staff, who detected the counterfeit currency and refused the transaction. Despite being denied, Mr. Stookey insisted on the exchange, displaying dissatisfaction, prompting staff to alert the police. Mr. Stookey faces charges for possession and intent to use counterfeit US currency, with full knowledge of its falsity. His records show frequent travel to Thailand over the past decade. He is married to a Thai national and resides in Pattaya’s Pratumnak Hill area. He is currently detained pending legal proceedings.

Report Thailand Sees a Surge in COVID-19 Cases: Concerns for Public Health
The Purpose of The Kissinger Report (NSSM-200) The primary purpose of U.S. government population control efforts is to maintain access to the mineral resources of less-developed countries, or LDCs. The Kissinger Report states: The U.S. economy will require large and increasing amounts of minerals from abroad, especially from less developed countries. That fact gives the U.S. enhanced interest in the political, economic, and social stability of the supplying countries. Wherever a lessening of population pressures through reduced birth rates can increase the prospects for such stability, population policy becomes relevant to resource supplies and to the economic interests of the United States. Assistance for population moderation should give primary emphasis to the largest and fastest growing developing countries where there is special U.S. political and strategic interest. Those countries are: India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Nigeria, Mexico, Indonesia, Brazil, the Philippines, Thailand, Egypt, Turkey, Ethiopia and Columbia [sic].… At the same time, the U.S. will look to the multilateral agencies, especially the U.N. Fund for Population Activities which already has projects in over 80 countries to increase population assistance on a broader basis with increased U.S. contributions. This is desirable in terms of U.S. interests and necessary in political terms in the United Nations. My own feeling is that we’ve got to pull out all the stops and involve the United Nations…. If you’re going to curb population, it’s extremely important not to have it done by the “damned Yankee,” but by the UN. Because the thing is, then it’s not considered genocide. If the United States goes to the black man or the yellow man and says “slow down your reproductive rate,” we’re immediately suspected of having ulterior motives to keep the white man dominant in the world. If you can send in a colorful UN force, you’ve got much better leverage.7 There is also the danger that some LDC leaders will see developed country pressures for family planning as a form of economic or racial imperialism; this could well create a serious backlash.… The U.S. can help to minimize charges of an imperialist motivation behind its support of population activities by repeatedly asserting that such support derives from a concern with: (a) The right of the individual couple to determine freely and responsibly the number and spacing of children and to have information, education, and means to do so; and (b) The fundamental social and economic development of poor countries in which rapid population growth is both a contributing cause and a consequence of widespread poverty. https://www.hli.org/resources/the-kissinger-report-nssm-200/
