Myanmar Fishing Vessel Seized with Six Crew Members for Encroaching Thai Waters
Picture courtesy of Matichon Authorities in Thailand have detained a Myanmar fishing vessel and its six crew members for illegally entering Thai waters, seizing 40 tons of salted krill as part of the operation. The 3rd Naval Area Command of the National Maritime Security Coordination Center (NMSC Region 3) reported that on December 13, at 21.00, a coordinated operation was led by Vice Admiral Suwat Donsakoon, Commander of the 3rd Naval Area Command and Director of NMSC Region 3. The operation involved multiple agencies, including the Ranong Maritime Security Coordination Center (NMSC Ranong), the Ranong Provincial Water Police, and the Department of Fisheries’ Ranong checkpoint, among others. The mission, prompted by intelligence from the 2nd Coastal Guard Regiment, targeted suspected illegal transfers of fishery products near Ranong’s port. Officials intercepted the Myanmar vessel, Pyi Phyo Hlaing 18, a 50-ton fishing vessel, as it was unloading its cargo at Wai Thong Port in Pak Nam Subdistrict, Muang District, Ranong Province. Upon inspection, the vessel was found to be carrying 40,000 kilograms of salted krill, packed in 2,000 bags weighing 20 kilograms each. The crew, all Myanmar nationals, failed to produce legal documentation for importing fishery products via the Fisheries Single Window (FSW) system, as required by Thai law. Authorities charged the vessel and crew with violating the 2015 Fisheries Act, amended in 2017. Under Section 92 of the Act, importing fishery products into the kingdom without official authorisation is prohibited. Violators face penalties under Section 158, including fines amounting to five times the value of the seized products. The crew was also charged with illegally importing marine products into Thailand without permits. They were handed over to investigators at Pak Nam Police Station in Ranong Province for further legal proceedings. The seizure underscores Thailand’s commitment to combating illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing activities in its waters and protecting its maritime resources. -- 2024-12-15 -

Elderly Man, 82, Takes His Own Life in Garage Amid Illness and Stress
Picture from responders. An 82-year-old man was found dead in his home garage after reportedly taking his own life due to health-related stress. Authorities believe the man's declining physical condition led to the tragic incident. On December 13, officers from Mueang Nakhon Si Thammarat Police Station, accompanied by forensic doctors and rescue personnel, responded to a report of a suicide at a residence in the Pho Sadet Subdistrict. Upon arrival at the single- story home, situated in a fruit orchard, they discovered the deceased, identified as Mr. Aied, seated face-down near the back garage. Nearby, authorities found the deceased's walking frame, glasses, and shoes. A nylon rope was still tied to a roof beam in the garage. A preliminary autopsy revealed bruising on the neck but no signs of foul play. The death was estimated to have occurred within the previous five hours. Relatives informed investigators that Mr. Aied had been in good health and active in managing the family orchard until recently. He had begun experiencing severe breathing difficulties, fatigue, and weakness, necessitating the use of a four-legged walking frame, to move around. On the morning of the incident, his children left for work as usual, while his wife, who is also in poor health, remained indoors. A relative visiting the house later discovered Mr. Aied's body in the garage. Police suspect that the elderly man, distressed by his health struggles, decided to end his life. He reportedly tied a nylon rope to a 2-meter bamboo pole, secured it to a garage beam, and attempted to hang himself. However, investigators believe the rope may have loosened, causing him to fall and succumb to asphyxiation. Relatives did not suspect foul play and have accepted the cause of death. After the examination, the body was released to the family for funeral rites. If you or anyone you know is in emotional distress, please contact the Samaritans of Thailand 24-hour hotline: 02 713 6791 (English), 02 713 6793 (Thai) or the Thai Mental Health Hotline at 1323 (Thai). Please also contact your friends or relatives at this time if you have feelings of loneliness, stress or depression. Seek help. -- 2024-12-15 -

Who is "doomed"?
The idea they are all "ethnic Russians", or Rus, is a myth. They are descendants of colonists. Like Germans in the Sudetenland and Poland. And cut from the same cloth it seems. The first waves came at the turn of the 20th Century, from the most impoverished parts of the Romanov Empire. In that Empire, Russians were top of the pile, so those colonists would have been less likely to have been Rus. Earlier, Catherine the Great settled Christians from the Ottoman Empire in the Donbas, which means Greeks, Syrians, Semites. Serbs were also brought in. But it was Soviet practices in the 50s and 60s that rubbed out any tribal memory. People were "encouraged" to speak Russian without an accent. donbas was a sparsely inhabited region. It was drilled into these later settlers that they were not Ukrainian nor Russian, simply "people of the Donbas". Those who are pro-Russian are feeling allegiances based on Soviet notions of citizenship. I take it you would support Chinese annexation of Taiwan, Singapore, parts of Thailand, because they are "ethnic Chinese" and that justifies it. Those in the East are descendants of mining colonists, and while Russian speaking, not all are "ethnically" Rus. 1991 Independance Referendum A solid majority voted to send a solid FU to Moscow, even in Crimea, 18% identify as "ethnically Russian". But the reality is Stalin did not selectively bus in Russians, he bussed in Soviet citizens, many of whom have forgotten their heritage. Putin has taken a cue from previous dictators. He has invented a history, like Himmler created the idea of a "Volk". Its about as fictious as Ivanhoe. And , like Hitler and Himmler, he has mislead a people, who are fearful of change, with some simple stories.
