Musk Fails When Confronted About Condom-Gate
Musk was asked by the press corps, during the Oval Office press conference (linked below), to correct the false, hyperbolic statement he made previously about the US govt. giving $50 millions dollars in condoms to Hamas. His response: "...some of the things I say will be incorrect and should be corrected." There are only two ways one can interpret his words logically; otherwise, you are falling for his weak minded attempt at sleight of hand. First is that he is lying and trying to make it look as if he made a honest mistake and needs to be fact-checked. But how do you mistaken Mozambique for Hamas to begin with? Doesn't add up. Not convincing. The second option is that he wasn't lying, and he did really somehow make that absurd mistake, in which case why is it now the public's job to correct him when in fact he should be fact-checking all information he gathers about the government before he makes any of it as a public statement. Either way, whatever Musk says about government spending can't be taken at face value or trusted to be the truth. Whether it's about the $8 million per minute he gets paid by the government or about government spending on any other things. He's full of it. Full stop. -

Scam Hubs: Thai Police Say 99% of Workers Voluntarily Joined
Picture courtesy: Thai Newsroom In a startling revelation, Thai authorities have disclosed that a mere 1% of workers returning from scam centres in Myanmar are genuine victims, with the vast majority reportedly engaging with these criminal operations willingly. This announcement follows rigorous investigations into the activities of numerous scam centres situated along the Thai-Myanmar border. Pol. Gen. Thatchai Pitaneelabut, who heads the Centre for the Protection of Children, Women and Families, commented on the process of welcoming back individuals fleeing from these illegal employments. He revealed that discussions with various international ambassadors are imminent, aimed at ensuring a smooth return of call-centre workers crossing into Thailand. Notably, the Thai government has clarified that not all these returnees will be categorised as victims, given the voluntary nature of their initial participation. Just yesterday, reports indicated that 7,000 individuals trapped within these scam rings were in the process of being released and escorted back to Thailand. This follows strategic actions by Thai authorities, including cutting off electricity, Internet, and fuel supplies to select townships in Myanmar, effectively crippling scam operations and encouraging a mass return. The Thai-Myanmar crossing through Mae Sot has seen an uptick in movement, with Pol. Gen. Thatchai noting that immigration records trace a wide array of nationalities using this checkpoint. Remarkably, it appears that nearly all of these workers made conscious decisions to join scam rings, with only an estimated 1%—like the case of Chinese actor Xingxing, who endured brief captivity—truly misled into these activities. Additionally, four Japanese nationals, suspected of involvement in human trafficking, have been apprehended as they attempted to cross back into Thailand, further highlighting the complexity of dismantling these transnational crime networks. Picture courtesy: Thai Newsroom The criminal syndicates, often run by Chinese nationals, typically employ Thai citizens to establish mule accounts. The illicit operations extend across Cambodia and Laos, thus complicating the network's dismantlement. As Thai authorities continue to process and differentiate victims from willing participants, the Border Command Centre is tasked with their care in the interim. Anticipated meetings next week between police and embassy representatives will address the logistics of returning foreign nationals to their respective countries. This ongoing saga took another twist when the Philippine embassy flagged an individual claiming victim status as a potential human trafficking suspect, underscoring the challenges in distilling truth from deceit in these complex cross-border operations, reported Thai Newsroom -- 2025-02-14 -

Why Isn’t the World Angrier About the Creation of the Wuhan Flu?
Jumping to conclusions and repeating lies seems to be your MO. It so happens that my girl owns the home we live in, has a well paying, permanent job and has a sizeable retirement nest egg. The rent from my home supplements my retirement income. We have a happy, comfortable life together. Do you think smart "people are determined to continue along that stupid path," like stupid people continue to believe their own stupid lies? By the way, saving money is not being cheap unless one is willing to accept a much inferior product in order to save a buck. -
