Thailand Considers Nuclear Energy as Gas Supplies Dwindle
Nuclear is an option to carry a country over to the time when fusion is commercially viable, somewhere in the 2050 range. I don't know why they say gas is in short supply. It's not. Plenty of natural gas if you're not afraid of Uncle Sanctions. -

Official: Trump Nominates RFK Jr. for Health Secretary
Certainly Kennedy and Gaetz are the two most bizarre and two least qualified picks so far. His last cabinet had a lot of very unqualified people in it, it seems like Trump is deliberately trying to pick even lower quality candidates than the first time around. Kennedy is not only highly unqualified for this position, he might be as insane as Trump. Some proof of that theory: During a 2012 deposition made during a contentious divorce from his second wife, Kennedy told attorneys that a doctor believed an abnormality in his brain scans “was caused by a worm that got into my brain and ate a portion of it and then died,” per the Times. He said he had been experiencing severe memory loss and mental fogginess, which he claimed had diminished his earning power. In an attempt to get ahead of a New Yorker article on the subject, Kennedy posted a video on social media earlier this month admitting to comedian Roseanne Barr that he left a dead bear in New York City’s Central Park a decade ago. Kennedy says in the video that another driver had killed the bear, and he pulled over and put it in his car with plans to skin it and “put the meat in my refrigerator.” Long story short, his explanation ends with the fact that he wasn’t going home and couldn’t leave the bear in his car, so naturally, he placed the carcass in Central Park and staged it to look like a bike accident. The circumstances surrounding the bear’s death had remained a mystery for years (and, coincidentally, Kennedy’s cousin Tatiana Schlossberg wrote a 2014 report about it for The New York Times). Last year, Kennedy said during a speech, “Even in Hitler’s Germany, you could cross the Alps to Switzerland. You could hide in an attic like Anne Frank did… the mechanisms are being put in place that will make it so none of us can run and none of us can hide.” Kennedy later apologized. -

UK Pensioners in Thailand Face New Scrutiny Over Pension Fraud
Has anyone seen what the UK state pension is?? - Freezing nothing is hardly significant. It woulds be simpler to unfreeze them. THy are about half the French level and a third the German level - the EU was pressuring the UK to bring state pensions up to international levels before Brexit - -

Thai singer’s fake goods hit a sour note with socialite
A prominent Thai country singer has been accused of running a fraudulent business scheme and selling counterfeit luxury goods, resulting in a loss of 8 million baht for a well-known socialite. The allegations have sparked widespread interest on social media, with many speculating about the singer’s identity and the extent of their activities. Ken Do, a public figure known for his investigative work, shared on Facebook that the singer had set up a scheme involving investments in durian farms, where investors were promised land purchases, guaranteed produce, and an annual income of 4 to 5 million baht. He mentioned that this scheme had deceived a high-profile socialite into investing a significant amount of money under the false pretence of lucrative returns. “The socialite was lured into investing 8 million baht, believing the project was legitimate due to its association with a reputed real estate company.” This false association added credibility to the scheme, leading to the high-profile individual’s involvement. He expressed concerns that there could be more victims who fell for the singer’s elaborate ruse. The singer reportedly cultivated relationships with several influential individuals, leveraging their social capital to enhance their credibility. They allegedly used these connections to further their deceptive practices, borrowing jewellery from the socialite for content creation to project an image of wealth and success. This act of deception was aimed at convincing potential investors of their genuine business acumen. Further investigations revealed that the singer had also been operating a page selling counterfeit luxury handbags. Many customers reportedly received fake products, and while some were compensated after discovering the fraud, the number of dissatisfied victims has grown, making it increasingly difficult for the singer to silence the discontent. In addition to these activities, the singer has allegedly established a so-called spiritual centre, claiming to possess mystical powers and presenting themselves as a revered figure. This facade has reportedly been used to gain followers and further bolster their business schemes, including the durian investment and luxury goods racket. The victims, particularly those involved in the durian and handbag scams, are now preparing to file legal complaints against the singer, accusing them of fraud, defamation, and issuing bad cheques, among other charges. The case is expected to unfold over time, drawing more attention as additional victims come forward with their stories, reported KhaoSod.
