Rage as Putin ally turns Trump's own insult against him: Tell him 'to watch his words!'
The entire so called connection between Trump and Russia was the product of the Clinton campaign and represents a treasonous attempt to maintain power. Any folks whose view of US Russia relations is based on that hoax and lie lives in a fantasy world. -

Crime Burmese Worker Alleges Extortion by Men Claiming to Be Police in Nakhon Pathom
Picture courtesy of SiamRath A 30-year-old Burmese national, identified only as Mr. Ong, has lodged a complaint to the media, on 31 July, alleging that he was extorted by a group of men claiming to be police officers in Nakhon Pathom province. The incident reportedly took place on 22 July, after Mr. Ong had returned from work and was drinking beer near the entrance of his housing estate, outside a shop known as “Je Daeng’s”. A neighbour, referred to as Mr. Tor, who lives in the adjacent rented unit, called him and asked him to come over with a bottle of liquor. While drinking together, Mr. Tor allegedly produced a small packet of unidentified substances from his pocket and began to smoke it, offering Mr. Ong a puff. Mr. Ong claimed he was told it was a harmless herbal smoke to help him relax. Soon after, two men entered the room, identifying themselves as police officers from the Sinsomboon Market outpost on Phutthamonthon Sai 4 Road. The men allegedly apprehended both Mr. Ong and Mr. Tor and escorted them to the local police post. Once there, Mr. Ong said he was handcuffed to a chair while the men left the room with Mr. Tor. Upon their return, they reportedly threatened Mr. Ong with prison unless he could come up with bail money. He explained he had no money, to which one of the men allegedly demanded he call relatives to raise the amount. Mr. Ong said he managed to gather 5,000 baht from friends and family, which he transferred to a Bangkok Bank account in the name of a man identified as Mr. Chatchawan. According to Mr. Ong, a second man claiming to be a police officer later demanded the remaining 25,000 baht. Mr. Ong said he begged for leniency, but was instead told to persuade Mr. Tor to loan him the rest. This, too, failed. Despite that and with the initial 5,000 baht already transferred, he was released just before midnight. He reported that no arrest record was made, no photographs were taken, and there was no formal documentation of the alleged offence. Fearing further trouble, Mr. Ong tried to find the remaining funds but was unsuccessful due to financial hardship. Mr. Ong said he decided to approach reporters at the Phokaew Police Station in a plea for justice, stating he had no other recourse or support. Authorities have not yet issued a formal statement regarding the complaint. Adapted by Asean Now from SiamRath 2025-08-01 -

Crime Police Raid on Drug Gang Involved in Grisly Murder and Burial Case
Picture courtesy of Khaosod Police launched a coordinated raid across two provinces early morning on 30 July, in pursuit of suspects connected to a harrowing drug-related murder. The operation follows the discovery of a man’s body buried in a wooded area behind Wat Hua Khao temple, linked to a violent drug gang with cross-border ties. The body was identified as 33-year-old Mr Taweechai, who had been shot in the head and buried in a shallow grave. The case initially led to the arrest of two 17-year-old suspects, one of whom admitted to carrying out the execution before both helped dispose of the body. Investigations soon identified 34-year-old Mr Sathaporn as the leader who allegedly ordered the killing. At 05:00, officers from Trang Provincial Police, Region 9 Police, and the Sri Trang Special Operations Unit conducted simultaneous raids on nine locations in Trang and neighbouring Phatthalung. The search resulted in the arrest of 35-year-old Mr Teerasak at a rented house in Na To Ming Subdistrict, along with four other suspects. All have been taken in for questioning. According to investigators, the origins of the crime date back to an arrangement in which Mr Taweechai and his 29-year-old partner, Ms Prakaithip, were hired by a Mr Anuchai and Mr Komjak to guard a shipment of two million methamphetamine pills in Nakhon Pathom province. The situation took a turn when a gang of armed men stole the drugs and demanded a ransom of 2 million baht. Mr Taweechai, in an effort to recover the stolen drugs, reportedly contacted Mr Anuchai and Mr Komjak to request the ransom money. He later transferred the amount, but never retrieved the methamphetamine shipment. Convinced that Mr Taweechai had orchestrated the theft, the pair lured him to Trang under the pretext of working off the debt. Upon arrival, Mr Sathaporn and Mr Teerasak picked him up and brought him to a house where they allegedly tried to extort a confession and the money. When Mr Taweechai denied stealing the funds, Mr Sathaporn reportedly arranged for the two 17 year old youths to kill him and dispose of his body. Further suspicions have also been raised regarding Ms Prakaithip, Mr Taweechai’s partner. Before his death, he had allegedly expressed doubts about her and her close friend, possibly being involved in the disappearance of the ransom money. Police investigations revealed that 1 million baht had indeed been transferred into an account linked to Ms Prakaithip, who has since fled. Meanwhile, both Mr Anuchai and Mr Komjak, have escaped across the border into a neighbouring country. Both men are known to authorities for previous drug-related offences in the southern provinces of Krabi, Trang and Phatthalung. The case remains open as police continue to track down Mr Sathaporn and the other fugitives and unravel the wider drug trafficking network believed to be behind the killing.
