A new way to turn right at the intersection, Thai style?
This video is all about perception and prejudice….. What this video does NOT show – it doesn’t show that Westerners are better at driving than Thailand people – and certainly not in Thailand. It does NOT relate to road deaths in Thailand. It’s worth bearing in mind that 80% of road deaths are motorcycle users. If you look at deaths on 4-wheeled vehicles in Thailand they actually are slightly LOWER than in the USA. The video does show how prejudiced Westerners are about Thai drivers and how little they understand about road safety and driving in the kingdom. They have no idea how cosseted they are at home and mistake that for being “good drivers”. When you look at other yardsticks you find that Thailand is nowhere near as bad as foreigner drivers like to believe,– e.g. Deaths per 10 billion vehicle-KM Deaths per 100,000 registered vehicles Registered vehicles per 1000 inhabitants Thailand is nowhere near the top in these figures. But the EL media and westerners are obsessed only with the one stat - DP 100k pop.– and that is not even the one normally use in road safety science. Which is fatalities per 100 million vehicle miles travelled (VMT). BTW – the US has a very poor road safety record compared to Europe, (about 4 times that of the UK per 100k pop, Thailand is 10 to 12 y=times that of the UK but oddly enough from a collision rate that is nowhere near proportionally greater.) -

Israeli Attacked in Thailand by German Tourist, Report Says
Israel did actually state Israeli official says government cannot confirm babies were beheaded in Hamas attack JerusalemCNN — The Israeli government has not confirmed the specific claim that Hamas attackers cut off the heads of babies during their shock attack on Saturday, an Israeli official told CNN, contradicting a previous public statement by the Prime Minister’s office. “There have been cases of Hamas militants carrying out beheadings and other ISIS-style atrocities. However, we cannot confirm if the victims were men or women, soldiers or civilians, adults or children,” the official said. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu indicated that people had been beheaded by Hamas in an appearance beside Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Thursday, but did not specify if they were children. https://edition.cnn.com/2023/10/12/middleeast/israel-hamas-beheading-claims-intl/index.html -

Fronting Hate: Tennessee's Troubling White-Supremacist Gathering
As the autumn sun filtered through the colorful canopy of Montgomery Bell State Park, located 40 miles west of Nashville, the peace was broken by a chant echoing through the trees: "Whose park? Our park! Whose park? Our park!" A small group of anti-fascist protesters gathered in opposition to the American Renaissance Conference, an annual event linked to white supremacist ideology that has called the park home since 2012. “No Nazis. No KKK. No fascist USA,” the protesters shouted. Directed to a designated protest area behind the lodge, they peered through a locked gate at attendees of the controversial event, who mingled on a nearby balcony. “Follow your leader,” one protest organizer taunted with a bullhorn, prompting the group to repeat the chant. “Shoot yourself like Adolf Hitler,” came the biting refrain. Many of the protesters, clad in black and wearing masks to obscure their identities, carried symbols like the Antifa flag as they voiced their outrage. One protester, who identified himself as “X” from Columbia, Tennessee, summarized their perspective: “Basically, they invite some of the worst neo-Nazi hate groups into this park every single year to rally. There is no difference between this and a KKK rally—they’re the same people.” Inside the lodge, the conference was already underway. Jared Taylor, the 73-year-old Yale-educated founder of the event and the New Century Foundation, greeted reporters with a request: no video of attendees’ faces. “These people can lose their jobs. Their girlfriends could jilt them. That’s the kind of society we live in,” he explained in his refined, almost aristocratic tone. Critics like the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) describe the conference as a breeding ground for racist ideologies, attracting a mix of white supremacists, neo-Nazis, and Klansmen. Cars from across the U.S. filled the lodge’s parking lot, some bearing offensive decals. When asked to describe the attendees, Taylor said, “These are smart, observant, thoughtful Americans who see that our country is going in the wrong direction.” Confronted with allegations of intellectualizing racism, he retorted, “What is racism, for heaven’s sake? Nobody can really define it in any sensible, consistent way.” Inside, speeches blended pseudo-intellectualism with radical ideology. Kevin DeAnna, using his pseudonym Gregory Hood, told attendees their mission was “presenting arguments that people with power can use. They don’t need to admit that they got it from us.” The conference featured controversial figures like Austrian Martin Sellner, who advocated for “remigration,” or forced deportation of nonwhite immigrants. Sellner’s rhetoric, described as “ethnic cleansing” by critics, included a mockery of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s famous speech: “I have a dream—it involves planes, ships, and buses.” Guido Taietti, a leader in Italy’s neo-fascist CasaPound movement, also addressed the gathering, alongside other figures linked to global hate movements. Taylor dismissed concerns about his connections to extremist groups like the Patriot Front, whose leader, Thomas Rousseau, was captured on video attending the event. Protesters like “Big Z” were determined to counter these ideologies. “We are here to let the public know that this will not stand in our state of Tennessee,” he declared, attempting to push closer to the lodge despite resistance from park rangers. As the protests raged, Taylor remained resolute. “We are going to be back here—whether they like it or not,” he said confidently. Yet, for opponents of American Renaissance, the battle wasn’t about changing Taylor’s mind. It was about ensuring that Tennessee’s public spaces did not become a haven for hate. “We’re not going to change Jared Taylor’s mind, and he’s not going to change ours,” said Big Z. “But we’re not here for him—we’re here for the people.” In the heart of Tennessee, the ideological clash continues, each side resolute in its mission, the park a contested space between voices of resistance and proponents of division.

Piers Morgan Slams Trigger Warning on "Wicked" for Green-Skin Discrimination
Piers Morgan, host of *Piers Morgan Uncensored*, voiced his frustration with the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) for issuing a trigger warning on the upcoming movie *Wicked*. The warning highlights "potential discrimination against green-skinned women" as it relates to Elphaba, the film's iconic green-skinned character. It also mentions the "persecution of talking animals." “Thank you!” Morgan responded emphatically, repeating, “Just for clarification, there are no green-skinned women in the world.” Another guest, British journalist Esther Krakue, suggested that the BBFC’s decision might be a publicity stunt. “They have to be doing this as a P.R. move to get attention,” she speculated. Morgan’s criticism was echoed across the Atlantic. Fox News Channel’s *The Five* also mocked the trigger warning, with co-host Dana Perino remarking, “It’s hard to believe that the U.K. used to rule the world. What has happened?” Despite the backlash, *Wicked* has been making headlines for its success and promotional efforts. The film adaptation of the Broadway sensation has already shattered records, becoming the highest-grossing movie based on a stage musical with earnings of $263 million. Starring Ariana Grande as Glinda and Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba, the movie has sparked online chatter with its promotional campaign. In one memorable interview moment, the two actresses speculated about their characters’ sexuality, hinting that they might be “a little in the closet.” In another interview, Grande became emotional while discussing a heartfelt scene and was captured holding onto Erivo’s long green fingernail, a clip that quickly went viral. While *Wicked* continues to captivate audiences and fuel online discussions, the BBFC’s trigger warning has drawn mixed reactions, from ridicule to curiosity, leaving many to question where the line should be drawn in content advisories.
