Yes, Virginia, Donald J. Trump WILL be the first convicted felon to become U.S. president
Were you concerned that when Biden was off to the fairy land in his mind that other people, possibly foreign born, were handling him? Seems to me that the entire state of US politics is more of a worry than whether Elon has influence over Trump or not. I get the impression that lobbyists actually rule the US, given how indebted the representatives are to them. Just the fact that Trump and Biden/ Harris were the only 2 viable choices for POTUS should have people demonstrating in the streets about the fiasco in Washington. -

Dreams Shattered: 250 Thai Workers Left Stranded in Airport Scam, Losing Over 12 Million
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. A total of 250 Thai workers hoping to start lucrative jobs abroad were left heartbroken after discovering they had been victims of a fraudulent recruitment scam. The group, who had collectively paid over 12 million baht, gathered at Suvarnabhumi Airport on the night of 4 January, only to find their flights did not exist. The victims, consisting of men and women from various provinces, had travelled to the airport based on promises of employment in agriculture and industry in Israel. Many had paid tens of thousands of baht to a recruiter known as Ms. Oi, who arranged their travel plans. Upon arrival at the airport, the workers discovered there were no flight reservations in their names. Ms. Salinthip, a resident of Buriram, shared her story: “My son was approached by someone who claimed to know about well-paying agricultural jobs in Israel. We transferred 60,000 baht to Ms. Oi, who said she was the official representative. She instructed us to be at the airport tonight, but when we arrived, we realised there were no tickets. When we questioned Ms. Oi, she claimed she couldn’t contact the person in charge.” Mr. Thanayut, 36, from Sakon Nakhon, revealed that he had transferred 120,000 baht and hired a van to bring him to the airport. “I was promised a monthly salary of 70,000 baht. They said the total fee was over 200,000 baht, with 120,000 baht paid upfront and the rest deducted from my salary. I trusted them because others had apparently gone abroad successfully through this process. I was devastated to find it was all a lie.” Ms. Oi, 28, who acted as the go between, claimed she was also a victim of the scheme. According to her, she was approached by a woman named Ms. Fah, who posed as a diplomat at the Austrian embassy in Thailand. Ms. Fah allegedly convinced Ms. Oi to recruit workers in exchange for a commission of 2,000 baht per person. Ms. Oi explained that after receiving payments from the workers, she converted the money into cheques and handed them, along with the workers’ documents, to Ms. Fah at the embassy. She claimed she had no knowledge of the scam until the victims arrived at the airport. The total amount transferred through her exceeded 12 million baht. Attempts to contact Ms. Fah have since been unsuccessful. Pol. Lt. Chanathun Promraksa, deputy inspector at Suvarnabhumi Airport Police Station, advised the victims to file complaints at their local police stations where the transactions occurred. Due to the number of victims and the large financial losses, the victims were encouraged to file a collective complaint with the Crime Suppression Division. The victims plan to gather on 6 January at 10:00 to submit their case to investigators. The incident highlights the ongoing risks posed by fraudulent recruitment schemes, leaving hundreds of families in financial ruin and calling for stricter oversight to prevent similar scams in the future. -- 2025-01-05 -
