EU Calls on Citizens to Stockpile Supplies Amid Rising Security Threats
Ohh the irony ! after the past 5 years of "information manipulation" In another report I read it said in the event of a nuclear strike citizens should go inside and lock the doors! Yes the "elites" don't want your stinking carcasses all over the place when they re-emerge from thier bunkers. -

I doubt your TV show shows the reality of incest. It might be fashionable in America but it does work out well. -

Is the Dollar safe?
The US dollar isn't going anywhere anytime soon, but, what value will it have, going forward? I'm sure that most people reading this have seen the value of the dollar pretty much destroyed during their lifetimes. And, that trend will likely continue. Nothing goes in a straight line and there will be fluctuations along the way, but my advice is to not save up too many US dollars in an effort to get rich. That would be an exercise in futility. What to do? Diversify. Have some dollars to "buy the dip" when the stock market tanks. Maybe buy some gold and hold it yourself. Maybe buy some silver. Once the real estate market crashes (which is only a matter of time), certain real estate might be a good investment. As for changing dollars into other currencies? All around the world, central banks are dealing with debt problems and would like to lower interest rates to spur economic development. The USA doesn't have a monopoly in that regard. I think I saw a story just yesterday about Thailand and its desire to lower rates. They aren't the only country playing that game. The impact of Trump's economic agenda remains to be seen. No country ever got rich trying to borrow their way to prosperity. Maybe the USA will become more of a producer and less of a consumer of junk made elsewhere in the world. As for BRICS and the alternate monetary system they're trying to set up? Whatever happens, that system won't be a threat to the US dollar anytime soon. Trillions of dollars change hands around the world on a daily basis. The only place that can currently happen: The USA. Wall Street. Perhaps years from now things will be different. For now, do the best with what you have. -

Thai Govt Frets as Uyghur Issue Jolts EU Trade Talks
FILE - This photo provided by Thailand's daily web newspaper Prachatai shows a truck with black tape covering the windows leave a detention center in Bangkok, Thailand, on Feb. 27, 2025. (Nuttaphol Meksobhon/Prachatai via AP, File) Thailand's current spat with the European Union could complicate crucial free trade discussions, following the country's controversial deportation of Uyghur individuals. Officials from the Committee on Economic Development, joined by representatives from other ministries and business groups, are scrambling to assess the potential fallout. The EU has shown its disdain for Thailand’s actions, and concern is growing within the Thai government. Sittiphol Viboonthanakul, who heads the committee, warns that these deportations might hinder the signing of a free trade agreement (FTA) with the EU, previously anticipated by year-end. The situation is hazy, but it could also jeopardize Thailand's aspirations of joining the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). Moreover, Sittiphol noted possible repercussions from the United States, mentioning that changes to US trade policies might hike tariffs on Thai exports, potentially affecting billions of Thai Baht worth of goods. In a move to smooth over tensions, the Thai government plans to engage directly with European ambassadors. There's some optimism that this gesture might soothe the situation, but Sittiphol maintains that Thailand needs a robust strategy to brace for further trade disputes, particularly if the FTA doesn't push through as planned. Meanwhile, the Thai Chamber of Commerce (TCC) stepped up to insist that the nation has long been a proponent of international human rights standards. They cited past efforts to tackle international issues like illegal fishing, reinforcing Thailand's commitment to align with global norms. Regarding deportations, TCC representatives argued these actions aren’t unique to Thailand and should remain separate from trade discussions. With tensions high and significant trade agreements at stake, it's clear this issue could have lasting ramifications. The government’s actions in the coming weeks will be critical in determining Thailand’s international trade relationships and economic future. Based on a story by Bangkok Post -- 2025-03-28
