When Willful Ignorance is a Way of Life
Seems to be a lot of bad losers on this thread blaming their loss on thick voters. we are not the ones who incinerated a billion dollars thinking the electorate would accept their sub calibre DEI candidate. That is thick. Just accept yours is a minority view. -

Trump Plans new Tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China
No I do not accept that. Thailand is very cheap to live. It's certainly a lot cheaper than America or the UK, despite Thailand having huge import tariffs on many foreign goods. You are trying to deflect to the fact that wages are low for many Thai people which is a different subject and nothing to do with import tariffs on foreign goods (the subject of the thread).- 1

US Visa for Thai Citizen - Do they have an Undisclosed Quota.
yeah, but actually worked out better this way as daughter really happy in # univ here and also keeps taking classes at the #1 Univ in Korea during breaks here. She is a Liberal Arts student so just as well as any US college including the one that accepted her. -

Thai housemaid’s 100 million baht fortune hits a legal snag
After spending over 30 years in the legal profession in England, I was employed in 2005 by a law firm on Kho Samui. My Job entailed explaining to English speaking clients the procedure of purchasing land in Thailand by way of setting up a Thai majority shareholder company which was the accepted practice at the time. The nominee shareholders were all employees of the law firm and the foreigner held 49% shares in the company and the Thais 51% The foreigner controlled the company by virtue of the fact that their shares were preferential shares with a voting power of 10 votes per share and and the Thai held shares were ordinary shares with a voting power of one per share. This was the accepted practice for numerous years and all foreigners, including myself as an employee of the law firm, had no reason to believe that it was illegal. The momentous event that caused this practice to become scrutinised by the Thai authorities was Thakin’s involvement in a huge telecommunications company in which nominee shareholders had been used and millions of baht of tax had been avoided. As we know that eventually led to Thaksin’s exile but it over night stopped the accepted practice of foreigners using the law firm’s employees as shareholders and the clients I was dealing with were told that they had to provide their own shareholders which needless to say led to immense problems. The point I am making here is that the French lady who is the subject of this article was probably unaware that her companies had been set up illegally and it is the unsuspecting maid that will be the loser. I am interested to know the name of the law firm involved here as it would not surprise me if it is the one I was employed by. -

Oh look! Jack Smith has filed a motion to drop charges against Pres. Elect Donald Trump!
This is good news for people like me who still hold lots of secrets from our days in the agency and carrying TS/SCI and (actual) Q clearances (not the silly Q as in QAnon, but Q as in a clearance to see nuclear related intel at the DoE). It's okay to use highly classified material in any way we so choose. Eff US national security. Monetize the secrets if that is to one's advantage. I was fortunate enough to become wealthy after I left the agency, but folks still working there, who now know both intelligence and the US itself are dying or dead, might as well use their knowledge for personal advantage. Imagine what Putin would pay to know whom in his inner circle is a clandestine asset for the CIA ! Even al Qaeda is flush with cash, and they would pay to know what US intel knows. And then there's weapons systems...China and Russia would love to know what the US military can do, and what is in the pipeline. Ka-ching! It's auction time! 45 stole highly classified intel regarding everything from nukes to weapons systems to order of battle to identities of clandestine assets in hostile nations or areas. I have no doubt whatsoever he intended to monetize it, as clearly he needed cash (why else would he schlepp silly NFTs, golden sneakers, commemorative coins, Chines-made Bibles, Chinese watches, and now rip offs of Les Paul guitars?) If it's good for the goose..... SC Smith is wise enough to know the system is broken. Institutions failed. The rule of law no longer exists in many ways. Some folks are above the law. Even the stacked Supreme Court says Madison and Jefferson were wrong and that the US is kind of a monarchy. Little guys---like a guy who took a doc or two home to work on the weekend---get 12 years in jail, but a guy who put national security and the identities of clandestine assets and programs at risk gets re-elected to the White House. The people got what they think they want, but it will come with consequences. Liaison cooperation is finished for at least the next 4 years. No more Five Eyes. Also, no sharing of intel with non-Five Eyes nations like France, Japan, South Korea, Israel, etc. They all know 47 cannot be trusted, and neither can Tulsi Gabbard be trusted. The risks that were thwarted because of liaison cooperation now have a wide open door to get the US. So be it. That's what the democratic majority wanted, so give it to them in spades. Terror attack, dirty bomb, bioterror, disrupt the electric grid, poison water supplies....enjoy! In the meantime, my former colleagues, see what you've got and think of who might make your 401K sing paying for it. Anybody want to know what Putin has on 47 and who told me? It's going to cost you. -
